"On April next year will have
passed since the murder Of Blanche
Lamont, and yet Theodore Durrant,
who was convicted of her murder last
November, is still in the county Jail

The entertainment and musical con.
cert given by the Lebanon Firemen's
Band, Tuesday night, was attended by
large crowd. The mnsic was superb,
and showed that the members OF the
band had taken great pains to fulfill
the greatest expectations Of those pres.
ent-and they succeeded. Two short
farces gave variety TO the program,
and during the acting of these the
audience showed their appreciation by
much laughter at the comical charac-
tiers so well represented by the actors.

good musiciars. The Lebanon Fire.

A landslide in Il ravine of the Port.
land Heights, last Saturday, crushed to
death Daniel Campbell, age AZ, and
Isabel Mcdonald, age l6. The house
they were in, which was the home Of
Donald S. Mcdonald and family, was
swept out of existence, and the other
members of the family narrowly es.
escaped with their lives. Hundreds
Of tons Of earth swept down the ra-
vine, and hardly before one could re.
alize what had come to pass, an ugly
looking mass of mud rocks, brush and
trees marked the place where but
minute previous was the home of q
happy family. The cause of the land
slide was that last year when the
Montgomery-street boulevard was be.
ing improved, large quantity Of
refuse dirt was dumped in this ravine.
This was fully secured, as thought, by
bulkhead, but hidden spring Of
water undermined the mass Of dirt
and the bnlkhead gave way. There
have been other landslides in that

A Late Land Decision.

A decision has been rendered in the
case of the title to the large tract of
land in North Brownsville, upon
which Andrew J. Monk filed a claim
two or three years ago. By an act Of
congress Jan. Is, 1895, the title to 1t
was quieted and established In o. p.
Coslow and others. When Mr.. Co.
show made an application at Oregon
City his money was refused and the
papers sent to Washington. Now the
decision has been sent to the office In
Oregon City in favor of Mr.. Coshow
and those he represents. Anything
else would have been an outrage.
The decision is that the railroad
company acquired no right to the land
because, at the time Of filing the map
Of definite location of the railway, the
land was withdrawn by the pre-emp-
ton of Richard Benjamin, and it did
not matter so far as the rights of the
company were concerned, whether
Benjamin ever completed title or not
Then, as adverse rights were not in
terfered with by the law of 1895, and
Monk maintained adverse rights be.
fore thu passage of the law, it is held
that the purchase of the land under
the provisions of that act cannot be
permitted AS to the allegations that
II was town property at the time Of
Monks entry, and that Monk had not
complied with the law as to residence,
the local land office is instructed to
order hearing. 1t is necessary that
the records be cleared nf Monks entry
before the application of Coshow can
be accepted. AS to lots 8, 4, and 8, it
is held that the record does not show
any claim to this at the time of the
railroads selection that would exempt
them from the grant of the company.

A Boston genius has contriyed an
odd advertising arrangement, which
be hopes to have applied to steamboat
whistles. 1t is miniature calliope,
and Instead of a tune II will sing out
boldly, "Stop at the Cliff House." as
the boat nears the wharf. Already
a test has been made and its accents
may he plainly heard.
The questionable innovation in the
form of the sacred scriptures by the
issuance of the Wonlan's Bible fur
nished Connecticut genius with an
idea. He got out an illustrated edition
of the bible and made all the angels to
appear with black skins and kinky
hair, took the whole edition South,
where he is retailing them to the col
ored people at eight dollars each. The
original cost was about one dollar each.
An enterprising London tradesman
undertook to advertise by telegraph
the other day, and sent to several
thousand prominent ladies dispatch
to the effect that a great sale was in
progress. The ladies have been accus-
toned to looking at kilograms as mat
ters of Importance, and they were one
and all annoyed. When the merchant
got through apologizing to indignant
husbands, big brothers and such, and
had paid for the insertion of not a few
ablect apologies In the newspapers, he
had made up his mind that newspaper
advertisements were the best after al.

Messrs. Matt Bartholet aud Fred Par

resentative, plainly indicated that he
thought the Swauk district very rich
one; in fact he was very enthusiastic over
the country, and said he had been so
taken that he had arranged for the pur.
chase OF some good claims. Messrs.
Meers and Bigney control most of the
placer ground and are working from
twenty to thirty men with very satisfac-
tory results. The gold is coarse, with oc.
casionsl nuggets of wire gold. On Sat-
urday last a nugget weighing $4S was
found, and while Mr.. Parker was watch
ing the miners on one of the Meers claims
fiat wire gold nugget weighing Sill was
picked up. No extensive development
has been made of the quartz claims. A
German is working on three-foot ledge
and is down GA feet. At first he got SIS

getting 1888 per ton, and while the ledge
is growing richer the deeper he gets, it Is
also gaining in width.
