Short Notice for a Funeral.

While at the Congregational Sunday
school picnic at Elk lake last Tuesday
Kew. Steenson was called On very short
notice to go and preach funeral SER
mon. A minister had been engaged to
officiate at the funeral of Mrs. John
Anderson, but he never put in an ap-
pearance, and four o'clock arrived. and
yet no one came to offer a prayer or
say few consoling words in the house
Of the dead. It was learned that there
was a minister at the picnic, and so
Rev. Steenson was quickly summoned.
He was in his outing garb, and his
thoughts were of pleasure and happi-
ness when he was called upon to 90 to
the house of mourning, which however
he did very gladly. 1t was most for
tunate he was near by as the minister

A .Drunkard's Deed,

Last Monday a farmer who lives near
Green lake, came to town and pro-
ceeded to get full. He was finally or
dered out of town by the marshal and
when he got to the farm house of B.
Start near Silver lake, he stopped his
team and called to Mrs. START to come
out. She was working near the kitchen
at the time and was alone with her two
children. She told the farmer she had
no time to stop to talk with him. where
upon he swore at her and drove to-
wards the house. Mrs. START and chill
dren ran inside the house and locked
the doors. The drunken farmer drove
his team around the house several
times. destroying flower beds, etc. He
then tried to break in the doors and
finally picked up q flower pot on the
outside of the window and fired it
through the window, knocking out the
whole lower part of the window. The
hover pot just missed one Of the girls
and an older girl tainted. Mrs. Starff
raised a window and gave the alarm
and the farmer got into his wagon and
drove away. 1t is said a warrant is out
for his arrest. He should be handled
IN manner that will cause him to
never forget his brutal act.

secured for the use of the class which
will leave the Whittier school this year

Timber Claims Hung Tr,.

Those from this section who have To-
Gated and filed on timber claims in Or
egon under the timber and stone act,
received solar plexus the other day
when they heard the news that the
land commissioner at Washington had
Withdrawn from sale all the tract of
land in which their claims had been
located. On the thirty-frst of July the
land commissioner ordered the land
office at Lakeview. Oregon, to with
draw all the remaining timber belt of
Lake county, and the land office at
Dalles: Oregon, also received orders to
withdraw over 800. 900 acres Of land in
that district from sale. In the Lake
county belt over seventy-tive per cent
of the land has been filed on. and one
third Of the land withdrawn in the
Dalles district has also been filed on.
The action of the land commissioner
has created much feeling and disap-
polnt1nent among the hundreds of peo-
pie who have filed on the land as bona
tide and innocent purchasers, and who
have been put to much expense by
reason of the long and tedious trips
from Minnesota and points elsewhere
to- make selections and filings. There
are probably fifty people in Princeton
and vicinity who will be affected by this
summary order Of the land department.
According to the Central Oregonian
the citizens of Lake, Crook and Kla-
math counties in Oregon have sent a
hot protest and remonstrance to the de-
partment and all those who have made
filings will send on a piece of their
mind to Washington by letter and also
through their congressman and sena-
tors, and the land department will have
hot time before it gets through with
its order. The land has been with
drawn with the intention of creating
timber reserve. but just what has
prompted the department to take the
action it has cannot be understood bv
one aC long range.
Clerk of Court Briggs received a. let
Ter from Land Commissioner Richards
the other day regarding the matter of
the fling of G. S. Neumann which bv
an error OF a clerk in the land Office
entered in the wrong range and
his claim was On lands that had
been selected by the State of Ore
gon under an act of congress. Mr..
Neumann desired to have his applica-
ton amended to cover the selection he
really made while in Oregon, and Mr..
Briggs had written the commissioner
about the matter. In his letter to the
clerk OF court the land commissioner
says that Mr.. Neumann's application
is rejected because of the order of the
department withdrawing the tract of
land for forest reserve, the land Mr..
Neumann selected being in the tract
Withdrawn. The land commissioner
says in his letter: "While Neumann's
application was pending at the time of
said withdrawal, an applicant under the
timber and stone act acquires no right
to the land applied for, if said lands
prior to sale are temporarily withdrawn
for forestry purposes" While Neu-
mann's application is rejected it does
not prejudice his right to apply for
lands subject to sale, Or even to renew
his application for the land he origi-
nally selected if such land is later

Last Monday afternoon the little
three-yearold girl of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
Wlnsor living east of town, wandered
away from home about 3 O'Clock and
was not found until 1870. The disap.
pearance Of the child created the great.
est anxiety and excitement, and when
it could not be found after careful
search in all directions, the parents be.
came greatly alarmed, and the alarm
was spread throughout the community.
Soon the roads, and woods and every
Imaginable place were being searched
for the lost child, and the suspense be.
came most trying on the parents as the
hours went by and there were no It'd.
ings Of the little one.
But what a joy there was when it
was learned that VIM. Sleeves haC
found the child, in the woods near his
place: distance Of about a mile and {
half from the Winsor farm. Mr.
Sleeves heard the child crying in the
woods and soon found it. It was moi
long before it was in the arms of it:
mother who was overjoyed at it's safe
return.
The child when found was about ex
hausted from wandering about. ant
was scratched, and bitten by mos
quitOes. It had started to follow some
OF the children to school, and soon be
came lost in the woods.
