ASHLAND BOYS SUCCESS
Makes Mark in Government Ser
vice on Islan nds.

VIM. Johnston. the 24-year old son
OF Conductor W. b. Johnston, of
Ashland. is making his mark in the
government service in the Philip
pine Islands. Enlisting as private In
90 r., Second Oregon, at the age Of
is. ho has without pull" OF in
fiuential connections Of any kind, but
of sheer force of merit and capacity,
won for himself the position Of In
spector in the treasury bureau main
tainod by our government on the
island at monthly salary of $500 in
gold. In the late scandals and
speculations which the press briefly
reported ms having been discovered
in the constabulary Of the islands a
few months ago, young Johnston dis
tinguished him self by running down
and furnishing evidence to convict
several OF the criminals.
Johnston is well known among the
members Of the famous Second Ore.
gon regiment. Before enlisting at
Portland he lived in Ashland for some
time and at one time was clerk In
Geo. W. Vaupel's cigar store. Be-
fore leaving Portland for Manila he
was made corporal by Capt Case
and when mustered out on the island
had become a sergeant. Following
.his, he became chief clerk In the
quartermaster's department. Shortly
after no was taken with illness and
started for his native shores on the
steamer Belgian King, and was ON
board that vessel when she founderei
of Nagaski. His health improving
he went back to Manila and soon
after was appointed assistant treasurer
OF the Island Of Negros, which posi-
tion he held for some time, and thea
passed brilliant civil service exami-
nation, making him eligible to tho
position he now holds az an inspector
in tho treasury bureau.

A QUEER LEGAL TANGLE
Nearo Who Was Hung He IS
Another Chance.

A remarkable story comes from
the Belgian Congo A native Of the
Basoka tribe was to have been hanged
for cannibalism, and during his IND
prisonment was so worked upon by
the representations of the missionary
chaplain as to the happiness Of the
world into which he was about TO
enter that the nergo offered TO hang
himself out Of hand TO get thore.
This sporting offer was not accepted,
and the nerRo was hanged by ordinary
procedure. After hanging about 10
minutes the doctor pronounced the
cnlprit to be dead, and the body was
being carried TO the cemetery by four
natives when, almost at the gate, it
sat bolt upright and began discoursing
Of heaven TO the bearers, who fed
dropping their burden. The man
then walked into the cemetery, sat
on a grave, and when soldiers came to
seize him again he inquired whether
they also belonged to heaven, aud
when he could obtain something "a
eat He is now in Jail again. while
the question of his re-oxecuuon is
beng considered at Bona.

HONEST ENTRYMEN SAFE
Commissioner of General Land
Office Issues Statement.

Commissioner Richards, Of the
General Land Office, has given out the
following statement concerning the
policy and practice of the land
office in the matter of the withdrawal
of public lands from settlement;
"There seems to be misapprehen'
sion respecting Withdrawals of public
lands from entry under certain of the
land laws and suspension of final
action upon certain classes of entries
already made Generally speaking,
land is withdrawn from entry in
order to prevent its being appro-
priated in manner or for purpose
not contemplated by law,
In consequence of a proposed
forest reserve, Withdrawal is made
of all the land that will probably be
included in its boundaries in order to
guard against speculative entries
made for the purpose of obtaining lieu
land.
Withdrawals under the irrigation
act are for the purpose of reserying
the land for homestead entry-the
only kind permitted by the act and to
prevent speculative entries. Land
containing oil or minerals is with
drawn from agricultural entry, as
mineral lands are sold in smaller
quantities AMI at higher prices than
farming lands.
Final action is often suspended
upon individual, entries or class of
entries in certain localities pending
an investigation as to whether or not
there has been compliance with the
requirements of the law. There is
no withdrawal of land in this connec-
tion or any suspension OF the law nor
interference with entries properly
made.
"In November, 1902. there was such
suspension of final action upon en-.
tries made under the timber and stone
act in Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia. This suspension as made up
on evidence of collusive entries in
those states whereby individuals and
corporations were obtaining title tC
large areas of valuable timber land,
whereas the law provides the entry
shall be made for the exclusive usC
and benefit of the entryman.
"That this action did not hinder
or interfere with entries under thii
act is shown by the fact that Will,
there were 2l97 timber and stone en-
tries made in tho states named dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30
1902, there were 6l45 such entrio
made in those states during the isca
year ended June 30, 1908, and Of thi
latter number, 1914 entries were mad
after January !, 1908, while the or
der Of susI ension was in force, wbil
but 2l97 such entries were made Il
the entire fiscal year 1902,
GAS fast as the entries in thes
states can examined, all of thos
which have been properly made ar
passed to patent while the suspen
sion continues as to the others, pend
ing hearing in the local land office
No cancellation is made upon repor
Of a special agent until oppUrtunit
for hearing has been afforded the en-
} tryman -

HOME CAPITALISTS LOSE
Mining Man Thinks They Show
Poor judgment.

L. V. Swiggett, who has spent
much Of the season in the mining
districts in different sections of the
state, has returned to Portland for a
few days, says the Telegram. and in
speaking OF the interest in mining
matters in general and the greater
interest in the mining industry
through he parts which he travelled,
said:
MY trip has taken me through
Eastern, Central and Southern Oregon
and it proved lesson we'll worth
learning by any man, The vast de-
posits Of ore that are within the
borders of this state are simply
phenomenal
Wherever l went l found the
greatest evidence OF prosperity and
more activity than l have ever seen
before in the mining matters of the
state.
There is crying need for better
railroad facilities. better smelling
advantages and more generous sup
port from local people. cannot un.
derstand why capital will not invest
in such wonderful propositions,
We're the showings in Utah, Colorado
or Montana they would not be idle
any length Of time. In Portland
there are millions of dollars stored
and not earning, when if properly
invested in mining, this money would
bring from IL to 90 per cent year
and perhaps more.
"What Oregon or Portland needs is
man like ID. II. Moffat of Denver,
who has put more enthusiasm and
money into mining than any hall
dozen bankers in the west.
"The resources of Oregon are won
derful The ore will be extracted,
railroads built and the country must
from its general outlook pass Colo
RADIO from mining standpoint.
"If local capital will not take NJ
the chances afforded, then outside
capital will, and Oregon must TAKE
her place among her mineral product
ing sister states. Mining is now (
scientific investigation AMI business
enterprise combined, and as such mus
be recognized in the future.

have sprung up to foster causes in

more tyrannical than courts or legi ia
lures would in these days dara TO

"Have we freedom Of conduct? Do
men and women in America show as
much vigorous independence in their
domestic arrangements, their social
relationships and their moral example
as our kinsmen in England do, whore
we were wont TO imagine, the rever-
ences for tradition and the fear of
Mrs. Grundy are serious barriers to
individual independenceP The ques-
tion is at least fair one.
There is certainly an increasing
tendency towards intolerance in this
country. The spirit of our constitu.
tion allows every man to have his
say and do as he pleases so long as
he does not transgress the law. But
majorities are becoming more and
more tryannical. They are not so
willing to submit to criticism as
formerly they were. Moral pressure
is brought to bear on minorities to
reduce them to silence. Associations
of various kinds exert coeroiye
force against those who express
opinions or advocate action hostile to
the views held by the several asso-
Citations. A man in public life can
hardly afford to take a decided stand
ON many important questions lest there
rise up horde OF enemies against
him. As The Independent says, the
mob spirit, eliminating in lynohing,
is only the extreme manifestation Of
mass tyranny.
This is tendency which loads
straight TO despotism. The tyranny
of the mob is anarchy. Anarchy is
intolerable Out of anarchy emerges
always the Man on Horseback, who
restores order by force and rules the
nation by the right of power. We are
yet long way from the condition in
which despot would be welcomed,
but it is we'll to stop evil Tendencies
in their small beginnings.
