in order to place the society on a sound
basis. At this date the membership ise
$50, twelve OF the members being in Hood
River, a larger number than in any 9TH
or town Of its size in the state. and is
distributed throughout 23 counties.
The collection already gathered, includ-
ing large number of photographs Of
pioneers, is of priceless value to the state,
and accessions are being constantly add
ed. The measure OF public interest
shown in the work is indicated by the
fact that since Dec. l6, 1899, $500 per-
sons, representing every state in the
Union, have visited the rooms in the
city hall, Portland and registered their
names. In addition there have been
visitors from all parts Of the world in the
rooms. No agency in the state is doing
more to make Oregon known to its own
people, as well as the world at large,
than the Oregon Historical Society.

Temperance People Threaten Prosscu-
tion and saloons Back Down.
Dies MONIES, Feb. 15.-Evcry saloon
in Des Moines closed its doors for the
second time yesterday about , o'clock
and the indications are that they will
be compelled to keep them closed foe
some time. The temperance people,
in connection with the anti-saloon
league of the state, held q meeting and
ordeS ed the officers of the association
to notify this saloon men no more time
would be given and that they must
close their doors at once or subject
themselves to injunction proceedings.
When the attorneys for the saloons
were served with notices, they Inn
mediately notified their clients and adj
vised them to cease operating. The
saloon men have declared their inten-
ton of getting up new petition, in
tending to withdraw the one now on
file, which Is believed to be insufficient.
When the attorneys for the ministerial
association were informed of the steps
the saloon men were taking they i'm
mediately denied that the action could
be legally taken. They declared that
the petition fled was q petition of con-
sent and the board had that under
standing from the outset. The law
specifies that but one petition can be
examined within year and that if the
present paper is found to be worthless
the saloons will have no other recourse
until another year.

Lyon County Must Pay Bonds.

DUBUQUE. Feb. 1s.-Dispatches from
st. Louis say that the United States
circuit court of appeals has, in an
opinion written by Judge sanborn,
affirmed the rulings of Judge Oliver P.
Shiras, Of Iowa, in the case of the
Keene Five Cent Savings Bank against
Lyon county, Iowa. The action
was to recover on bonds issued by
the county, amounting to a little less
than $4,000. The defense was that
the issue occurred after the county had
exceeded it's legal Indebtedness. The
decision established the proposition
that Lyon county is liable for all it's
outstanding bonds, excepting IN issue
Of $40, 900 dated May l, 1885. These
are still in controversy. The ruling is
great victory for tho bond holders.
The case was originally tried in Sioux
City before Judge Shiras. Lyon coun-
ty appealed and the matter came up
for argument before the circuit court
of appeals December 12, 1899.

Claims His Position In Pretoria Was
Insunerable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In state
ment issued yesterday Charles Macrum,
former United States consul to Pre-
toria, says:
1.-The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official, 1 could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently In the dark as to
the exact conditions in South Africa;
secondly, as man and citizen of the
United States, l could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-re-
spect and that of the people of Pretoria,
while the government at home contin-
ued to leave me in the position of a
British consul and not an American
consul want to say right here that
there was not single request made of
me through the department of state
looking to the care Of British interests
In Pretoria which did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders.
On the other hand, American interests
In South Africa were in a condition
which demanded that the department
OF state should be cognizant Of them.
~ issued the statement received
from the state department that
Americans must remain neutral. In
the face of this Americans were con-
tinually going to the front and taking
up arms in the cause of the Beers. t
could not help but know that many
Of these were citizens of the United
States. l also know that many of
them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own government were
taking the oath Of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic. When affairs had
reached that stage that my vice consul,
Mr.. Van Ameringen, closed up his bus
mess, took the oath of allegiance to
the republic and went to the front as
burgher, I thought the time had
come when should make report of
these conditions
He goes on to explain that his mail
was opened by the British authorities.
He therefore asked leave of absence
and came to Washington to report the
conditions, but was surprised upon his
arrival to learn that he was no longer
In the cosnlar> service and that the de-
Partment of state expected no report
from him.
