TROUBLE IN CAMP.
The Recommendation of 7. J. BufOrd
For Indian Agent the Cause.

fOE IEuldU hSCuL LtsC SauoS'
The information coming from the
Oregonian that the Oregon delega-
ton had endorsed Y. ]. Buford for
Indian agent at the Siletz has caus-
ed a ripple On the surface of the po-
litical waters of this county, and it
is liable to be pretty fair sized rip
pie before it subsidies. DR.. Carter,
of Elk City, who was strongly en-
dorsed for the position, evidently
thinks there is some mistake about
Buford's endorsement or else there
has been some duplicity and double
dealing. DR.. Carter writes a letter
to the Oregonian that was published
last Sunday, that sets forth some
cogent facts in a strong way. The
letter says:
"I see in the Oregonian of the 27
inst. that the delegation" has rec
commended y. J. Buford for the po-
sition of agent at the Siletz reserva-
ton. l think this must be mis-
take, as Mr.. Buford was all appli-
cant for the place of Indian inspect
or, and he was indorsed for that po-
sition. / do not think Mr.. Buford
would like to be considered a mis-
cellaneous" candidate for any po-
sition the delegation might see fit
to parcel out to him.
Mr.. Buford has already recon-
mended a friend for the agency at
Siletz, and l think he would not
undermine him to get the place for
himself.
If he was recommended because
of his supposed power to control
the Siletz vote, this is also a mis-
take. At the June election Mr..
Buford was farmer at the reform
school, and he had no influence
whatever in controlling the Indian
vote at the Siletz The fact is, the
Indians are nearly all republicans
and vote that ticket from choice,
without being dictated to from any
one.
I can't see why the delegation"
IS so secret in its meetings and re-
concentrations, if every thing is on
the square, for there is nothing for
any one to be ashamed of. Take
the applicant who has the strongest
and best Endorsements, and recon-
mend him for the office, and | am
sure this will give satisfaction to
the republicans of Oregon; but du-
plicity and double dealing will be
condemned by all minded meu.

The County Salary Case Set for Hear
ing October 18th.

The appeal case of G. A. Lands
VS.. Lincoln county now pending in
the supreme court has been set fol
hearing on Wednesday, October
18th. The case will then be ar
gued and submitted on that date,
and by the first of November de-
cision should be rendered by the su-
preme court.
This case, it will be remembered,
is a case arising over the matter of
the salaries Of the clerk and sheriff
of Lincoln county. In 1898 and in
1895 when the legislature was fix
ing the salaries of similar officers
throughout the state those Of Lin
coin were omitted, as il was deem
ed to be the wish Of the peoplr of
this county that these Offices con-
tinue under the fee system. But
in 1895 the sapreme court in a case
brought to Test the validity of the
salary law, that The salary law ap-
piled TO Lincoln county also. This
left the county under the salary
law, but without any salaries fixed
for the clerk and sheriff. Last fall
the county court fixed the salaries
of these officers, making the salary
of clerk 81, 200 and the sheriff al
$500. The law creating the
county provided that the clerk and
sheriff should receive the same fees
as these officers in Benton received.
The sheriff brought mandamus
proceeding to compel the county to
pay the same salary that the sheriff
of Benton county receives. The
county demurred TO the suit and
Judge Fullerton sustained the de-
murrer. From this all appeal was
taken TO the supreme court, and
This is the case that is to be pass
ed upon next Wednesday. 1t is
matter of consratulation TO the peo-
pie of the county that this question
is to be settled in some matter at
an early date. Although there is
danger that the decision will leave
this question in worse shape than
it was before.

Sixteen samples of sugar beets
analyzed at the chemical laboratory
this week made the highest average
i'll sugar per cent and. purity of any
beets yet analyzed at the station.
Half dozen or more of the samples
yielded 20 per cent sugar, and from
SO to 90 per cent purity, which, in
view OF the fact that IA per, cent
sugar and SO per cent purity is a
good beet, and excellence of the
of the beet is made apparent. The
beets came from MeYd]!fa(,rd, Yd]!f(,d, and some
OF them made an estimated yield of
20 to "a tons. An almost certain
re"ult of this analysis will. be the es-
