A petition prepared by Register Will
son, of the land office at Burns, to the
department at Washington, is receiv-

Typographical and geological survey of
portion Of Oregon extending west
from Snake river between the base line
and the third standard parallel, in the
vicinity Of Vale. Within this district
is large scope of mineral country.
The Port Oxford Tribune man has
the spirit Of the true fisherman. He

The Scio Press attacks live bird
shooting in the following live manner:
Live bird shooting contests have
become fad with Albany sportsmen
of late, Nearly every week a match is
reported in which number of inno-
cent pigeons are sacrificed to demon
strate who is the better marksman and
incidentally give an opportunity to
gamblers and betting men to hazard
their money. The laws of our country
prohibit bull, dog and cock fights, and
all states excepting Nevada will not
allow rize-fighting by men. Yet, in
the estimation of nearly all, the shoot.
lug of pigeons for mere sport is more
heartlessly cruel than any of the vari-
Gus fights or contests mentioned. And,
too, we claim to be a consistent people.
Sportsmen should find some other less
cruel method in which to decide who
is the better marksman.n

About Beet Sugar.

Those who claim to know, says the
Hillsboro Argus, state that beet cul-
ture, properly attended, will give re-
turns of $50 per acre. For the sake of
conservatism put it at $50 per acre and
then that class of farming would pay
far better than anything yet tried in
Oregon. 1t is worth looking into, and
at once. 1t would not be too late for
crop this season, if factory were here
to take the yield. Outside the dairy
business, this branch of farming will
will pay better than anyother, If there
be anything in the statement of ex-
perts.
There is beet sugar factory in the
little town of Levi, Utah, which paid
$4,000 for beets in a single month in
1895, and up to October IA last the fac.
tory had received 10000 tons of beets,
had worked up l1,00O tons, and had
made 1000 sacks OF refined sugar. The
local paper paper says that 1900 acres
were planted in beets last year; that to
raise, harvest and deliver them cost
$50 an acre; tnat the average crop last
year was Is tons per acre, which, at 81
a ton, brought $50 an acre, aid there
fore, $50 clear profit to the farmer. On
the whole acreage planted that would
mean that $4,000 clear profit was dis
tributed among the farmers in the
vicinity of Levi last year. And ex-
perts declare that Oregon is better
equipped with soil and climate for
sugar beet culture than Utah or any
other state in the West.

MOORE oETs gIoAr YEARs.
Dramatic scene at the Trial Of Nebras-
ka's EmbczzliDg state Auditor.

eaf''tfI1
LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. 1.-Ex-state
Auditor Eugene Moore, found guilty Of
embezzing $4,000 Of state funds, has
been sentenced to eight years in the
penitentiary. The sentence was a sur
prise and q crushing blow TO the pris-
oner. who had expected but nominal
punishment, and the scene in the court
room was as affecting as It was dra-
matte.
Moore, with his wife standing by his
side. pleaded with the court for mercy
making a long and somewhat rambling
statement. At its conclusion he sank
IN his chair, sobbing bitterly, his wife
trying vainly TO comfort him.
Judge Cornish, visibly affected, spoke
slowly Of the crime committed and OF
the entire absence Of eXtenuating cir
cumstanees. He said he believed no
less than ten years in the penitentiary
would satisfy outraged Justice.
AS he paused Mrs. Moore threw her
arms about her husbands neck and
shouted: "Oh please Judge, have mercy
on him; have mercyi" Judge Cornish
then said: "On account Of your devoted
wife and your loving children l will re-
duce the sentence by two years There
fore, the sentence Of the court Is that
you shall be confined in the peniten-
tiary for the term Of eight years at
hard labor. pay the costs of prosecu-
tion and be fined in the sum Of $a6,-
$3.50"
Moore's attorneys will appeal to the
supreme court. Moore was twice elect
ed state auditor and his family moved
in exclusive society

CONGRESS FORECAST
Talk In Washington as to
What Will Be Done.
FEW LEADERS IN THE CITY As YET.
Cuba and the Currency Are the Topics
Most spoken About Hot Fight Ex-
pected In Regard to the
Latter Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. members Of
congress are unusually slow i'm putting
in their appearance here for the regu-
lar session, which convenes next Mon
day. Up to this time there have been
scarcely more than half a dozen ar
rivals each day. From now on, how
ever, Il is expected that the rush will
begin and that a very full attendance
will be In evidence on the opening
day Few Of the leaders of either house
are here yet. This is especially true of
the house Of representatives. Neither
Speaker Reed nor Mr.. Dingley, the
floor leader Of the majority, win reach
Washington until Saturday or Sunday.
With the exception Of the pronounced
and radical pro and anti Cuban con-
gressmen, the members Of both houses
as rule seem TO be holding their judg
ment in allegiance until they ascertain
from official sources exactly what the
situation is as to Cuba. In the mat
ter Of currency, it seems already estab-
lished that the Democrats and their
free silver allies will oppose stubbornly
anything the majority is likely to pro-
pose. and the fact that the opposition
in the senate seems insurmountable in
clines many Of the Republican members
of the house to the opinion that 1t
would be wisdom not to attempt any
legislation whatever
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa is one of these
He thinks the futility Of passing a
measure in the senate makes it mex
pedient for the house to attempt to put
through a measure, and besides he
doubts the propriety of the Republic
ans Of the house attempting to make
Republican policy on a subject upon
which the Republican platform does not
speak to the point. He says if the pres
ident should, as reported, recommend
any scheme for the retirement of the
greenbacks it would be beyond the Re
publican platform, and every Republic
an would be free to support or oppose
il as his judgment indicated.
There is some talk of a Republican
caucus ON this question many of the
members believing that If currency
measure is to be passed differences
could be more easily adjusted and con-
certed action secured in this way
Mr. Walker Of Massachusetts, chair
man Of the committee on banking and
currency. some time ago sent a letter to
every member of his committee urging
the Importance of currency legislation
and asking each member to be prepared
as soon after the opening OF the ses-
sion as possible to work to the end
that some measure may be submitted to
/ the house for action
Mr. Hepburn, who is chairman of the
i committee on interstate and foreign
/ commerce, says he has received many
letters during the recess particularly
from mercantile bodies urging action
on the antiscalping and pooling bills,
and he expects both OF these questions
to receive early attention.

TRENTON, Dec 1--Ex-S Senator Ed
wards of Jersey City has made appica-
tion TO Justices Van Sickle, Dixon and
Collins Of the supreme court for a hear
ing on Friday morning on another ap-
pllcation in connection with the anti
gambling amendment TO the constitu-
tlon adopted on Sept 2S. The court has
fixed $3.50 o'clock on Friday morning,
when Senator Edwards viii be heard
The application win take the form OF
a eertiorari TO have the state canvass
ing board reverse It's action IN declar-
ing the antigamb6ng amendment car
ried. The point Is made that the amend
ment did not have the required consti-
tutlonal majority There were more
votes for the amendment than against
It, but a large number Of ballots were
rejected. The constitution requires that
an amendment to be adopted must re,
ceive the vote of a majority of those
voting on the question The point in
dispute is whether those whose votes
We're rejected did or did not vote on the
amendment If they did not, then the
amendment was carried. If they did,
the amendment was lost. Senator Ed
wards win be assisted by Allan McDer-
mott and ex-Attorney General John p.

cation Will be opposed by Attorney Cen
