Relief to Oregon Settlers.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Senator Fulton
Was today directed by the public lands
| committee to make favorable report on
Senator Mitchell's bill for the relief of
Sherman county settlers and his double
minimum land BILL The former direc g
the secretary of the interior to make a
full investigation into the cases of
settlers who have been dispossessed of
their lands, under a decision of the
supreme court, which,. awarded the
tracts in controversy to The Dales Mill
tary Wagon Road company, or it's sue
cessor, and to report to congress next
session whether terms can be made with
the wagon road company whereby these
settlers may be restored to their lands,
which were entered upon and improved
IN good faith. He is also directed to
ascertain the extent and value of the
improvements made by each settler.
The double minimum bill, which has
appeared year after year for many con-
crosses, proposes to repay $125 an acre
to those settlers who paid $3.50 an acre
for their lands, supposing they were
within the limits of the Northern Pacific
grant in Eastern Oregon.
The fact that the Northern Pacific
never constructed its road down the
Columbia river nullified its grant in
Eastern Oregon, but those settlers with
iD the original limits of that grant, who
paid double minimum price for their
lands, have never been able to recover
half that amount.
While this bill is in every way equita

Canada, where he went about month
ago with couple of cars of horses for
the market there, says the East Ore
CONAN. He has sold all of his stock
and is now back for another shipment.
He will, inside Of the next month, ship
from Pendleton between three and i've
cars of horses, which he will collect in
the John Day country.
The horses which he shipped before
were all large, strong animals, especially
adapted to the heavy work of opening
land for farming, and for these he found
a ready sale. He will attempt to max Q
the next shipment conform with the
first.
Mr.. Officer was greatly pleased with
the country in which he was, and while
will improve and prove up on. The
land is very fertile and will make fine
wheat farms, and the immigration is
hocking in all winter and will be heavier
in the spring.
At High River there are many busi-
ness openings and fine chances for men
Of business ability and little M sans.

Heppner people are proud of the sue
cess of Heppner Blackman. son of Hon.
Henry Black man, of this city.
Heppner Blackman's talent is now
being cultivated in San Francisco and
the rising Young artist is making rspid
strides toward the success that he de-
serves.
The first press notices and the first
work of young Blackmau appeared in
the GAZETTE, and bright future was
predicted for him, for the boy from
childhood hsd shown undoubted talent.
He is now employed ON the San Fran
cisco Call and his work is recognized as
an artist and cartoonist.
Like Davenport, young Backman
loves to sketch scenes of his childhood
days and recently he has sent several
sketches from memory to friends and
relatives here.
Homer Davenport, the great cartoon

salary than that of the president of the
United States, few years ago had no
better prospects than Heppner Black
man has today, The people here are
certainly pleased to hear of his success.

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.

Boston. Feb. n The right Of prop

bench Of the supreme court yesterday.
A decision was handed down in a
case in which the plaintiff claimed
that the defendant had no property
right in certain information in ques-
ton. which referred to certain facts
concerning building operations. The
court finds that anyone gathering
news or information at some expense
and furnishing 1t daily to subscribers,
orally or in writing, under a contract
by which they agree to hold it in
secret confidence and for use in their
own business. has a valuable right of
property which a court of equity will
protect against those seeking to OBJ
tain it from the owner without right
and to his damage. The court holds
further that the giving of such infor-
nation to customers is not such a nub-
iication of 1t as to constitute its ded-
ieation for use by the public and to
deprive of The right to control its use.

between midnight and a. IN.
The former is a saloonkeeper and
well known about Cordova.
A negro entered the home of the
DickersOns and beat husband and wife
on the head until they relapsed into
1nsensibility. 1t Is conjectured that
robbery was the motive for the crime.
The wife recovered early this morn

ant was a negro and that she would
know him again If she saw him, then
she lapsed back into Inconsistencies
Both will likely die
The identity of the negro is a mys-

The weapon used by the robber was
a hatchet, and horrible gashes on the
faces of his two victims show ne was
forced to use it vigorously.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 6.-Despite the
fact that the police and the officials
of the district attorneys Office have re-
peatedIy asserted that they were NOR
ally certain of the identity Of the per
son who murdered Edwin L. Burdick,
and that that person was a woman,
they still hesitate to make decisive
move. Suggestions that might give
a clew to the motive for the murder
have been eagerly sought and sifted.
InnumerabIe clews have been followed.
The police say that many Of these have
strengthened theiy suspicious until
they are almost positive of the iden-
tity of the murderer, but material ev-
idence is lacking.
Other clews have either led to
nothing or resulted in more mystery.
The police are less communicative to-
day and there is a widespread feeling
that they are at a standstill for the
present at least.
In theory the police sAe in a posi-
tion to Lay their hands upon the muir
derer at any moment, but in direct
evidence that would warrant an arrest
they are no nearer a solution Of the
mystery than they were one week
ago when the murder was discovered.
An official in a position to know the
situation said:

support an arrest we are as badly off

means to meet them"

Representative Of Southern Chinese
Rebels viii Soon Land Here.
Victoria. B. c., March 6.-The report
is current among the local Chinese
merchants that the object of the COM
ing Of Lung Kai Chew, first lieutenant
of Kang Yu Wet to this country is to
aCcumulative funds for the rebel move
ment now going on in southern Chi
ma and arrange for the shipment of
arms and war munitions for the rebels.
Lung Kai Chew says he has come
to make arrangements for the esab-
ltshment of a mercantile company. Ma
tive papers just received by local Chi
nese report that the leader of the
rebels in southern China in Canton is
Lung Mo Kwong Local Chinese point
out that 1t is iteresting that his fam
lily name Is the same as of Lung Kai
Chew. They also point out that
fact that like Kang Yu Wei, Leung
Kai Chew is q Cantonese. The Chi
nese point out that Leung Kai Chew
has issued a pamphlet In southern Chi
ma In which he advises the opinion
that the people of Kwang ST and
Kwang Tung, the seat of the
insurrection now prevailing, should
seeede from China and estab-
lish a kingdom made up of the two
Kwangs. To further this scheme, so
the reports go, Leung Kai Chew has
come to this continent to accumulate
funds by subscription at all the nu-
merous branches of the Chinese en-
pire reform association in Canada and
the United States. 1t is also stated
that the program includes the arrange
Anent of the shipment of arms from
this coast to China.
