ABHAHAMsOA'S MURKkknR CAUGHT.
John Lake, the companion of Abe
Abrahamson at the time of his wan
ton murder by a hold up artist be-
tween Weyerhaeuser's headquartef
camps and Mountain Iron early in
January y, has put the officers of the
law to shame by his successful hunt
for his partners slayer.
Since the first furry of excitement
following the deed had subsidized no
further attention had apparently
been given the matter, but Lake did
not give up the search. He started
through the lumber camps of the
county, with a determination to
avenge the murder of his friend
and bring his slayer to justice. His
search was a tedious one, but was
crowned with on Friday

Good Results of Spraying.

We are beginning to get reports of
the results of the extensive expert
ments in spraying for the codling moth
in the Pajaro valley. At a recent farm
ers' institute at Pacific Grove w. F.
lark said that much work will always
be needed to keep orchards free from
pests, but this years experience proves
that it pays to spray. Six sprayings,
at a cost of 20 cents per tree, is the en-
tire expense, and the saving already
this season is enormous. From one I'M
sprayed tree there were eight boxes of
Belflower apples wormy-57 per cent of
the whole yield of the tree-while six
teen boxes of perfect fruit to half
box of the wormy kind was achieved
by careful spraying, Those eight boxes,
if free from worms, would now be sell
ing at 90 cents a box-S. F. Chronicle

Where the Line Runs.

Following is the official line fixed by
the arbitration commissioners as the
Alaskan boundary of U. S. territory:
The line commences at Cape Muxon,
goes directly to the northern entrance
of the channel between Waes and Sit
khan islands to Portland channel, thence
along the middle of Portland channel to
its head From there the line is formed
by going from peak to peak of the
mountains. distance from tidal water
varying from 10 to 80 miles, speaking
generally. When opposite Thomas bay
the line stops and is underlined from
there to a point about Is miles north of
the Takua inlet. Thence it follows the
peaks of mountains about northwest
ward to White pass; follows the summit
of White and Chilcoot passes, thence
by peaks of mountains to Mount Fair
weather, passes close to the police post
situated near Klehini river On this
course the line will be from eight to 20
miles north of the provisional boundary
line from Fairweather, short distance
northward, and then on a fairly direct
course to the rear of Kakulat bay,
thence from peak to peak by somewhat
circuitous route to Mount st. Elias.

False Oath Not Always Perjury.

The Spokesman Review of last Sat
urday gives the decision of L. s. Judge
Hanford in Il case of local celebrity that
may help some" i'll numerous cases of
final proof in this county:
In holding that Charles d. OFT, clerk
in a Portland grocery house, was not
guilty of perjury, Judge Hanford yes
terday handed down decision which is
likely to have sweeping effect in con-
struction of land laws. In brief the
courts decision was that where a home
stead applicant is required to take an
oath prescribed merely by a regulation
of the interior department, and not by
the stutute. he is not guilty of perjury
if he swears falsely; that perjury can
only be committed where false testi-
mony Is given under an oath prescribed
by the statute.
In August, 1902, Ott who had entered
on a homestead near Prosser, Yakima
county, endeavored to commute the
homestead by paying cash. The proof
given in the land Office showed that he
had not lived on the homestead IA
months, as required by statute, and the
patent apparently was issued through
4 misrepresentation.
Subsequently OFT and F. B. William
son, one of his witnesses at the time the
eommutation was made. were arrested
on a charge of perjury. They had both
sworn that Oft had resided continuous
~ ON the land from September 1901, to
August. l902-ll months and that he
had done a certain amount of cultiva-
ion.
After the government had put in its
evidence tending to show that OFT had
aot lived on the land as he had testified.
. and that the amount of cultivation
claimed was not done, the attorneys for
the defense moved to dismiss the case.
They said that the statute did not re-
quire him to take any oath; that the
oath he had taken was prescribed merely
by the interior department. and that,
accordingly. OFT could not have been
guilty of perjury.
Judge Hanford sustained this conten-
ton. He decided that there is no federal
statute requiring an applicant for a
homestead to make affidavit Of resi-
dence upon the land. Of constructing a
house thereon, or of cultivation Of anv
part thereon. In the absence Of such
statute law, regulations of the interior
department requiring such an affidavit
are not sufficient. according to Judge
Hanford, to justify prosecution for
swearing falsely under such regulations.
Following the doctrine Of the courts
that criminal statutes must be con
strued strictly, and in view of the statu-
tory requirement that the false taking
Of an oath prescribed by federal statute
Is necessary to establish the crime of
perjury, the court said OFT could not be
held He will probably follow up this
decision by giving the jury a peremp-
tory instruction this morning to find
CIT not guilty.
The evidence shows that the alleged
perjury was committed on the day of the
Yakima county republican convention
hst year. Register Walter j. Reed was
. candidate before that convention for
