SETTLERS WILL SOON GET DUES
Government Completes nveStigatiOn
of Eastern OreqOn Cases.

Washington, Oct. II The interior
department, acting under special act
passed at the last session, has complet
ed an investigation of the cases of
Sherman county settlers who have
been dispossessed of lands lying within
the limits of the grant to The Dalles
Military Wagon Road Company, in
Eastern Oregon. The report of the
findings is confidential and will be
submitted to congress early in Decem-
Der.
The evidence collected will be suffi-
cient to enable congress to take final
action for the relief of these settlers.
1t will show the terms on which the
Eastern Oregon Land Company, the
successor of The Dalles Wagon Road
Company, is willing to relinquish its
title to the disputed lands, and allow
them to revert to the settlers. 1t will
also show the state of improvements
which the settlers made on these lands
while temporarily in possession. Con-
gress must decide whether an appro-
priation shall be made to buy from the
company its title to these lands, in or
der to restore them to the settlers, or
whether it is better to reimburse the
settlers for the losses they sustained by
reason of being dispossessed
The land company, it is said, is in
clined to deal fairly with the govern
ment in the matter, and will waive its
title to these lands provided the gov
eminent pays its price. Many years
have elapsed since these disputed
lands were eventually awarded to the
land company, and in that time num-
Der of original settlers have disappear
ed. These few cases cannot be reported
upon. All the facts obtainable have
beenc elected and congress will be
enabled to compensate settlers who
sustained losses through no fault of
their own, but rather through faulty
decision OF the land office.

Farm NOtea.


High and gravelly soil is the best
for fruit trees.
The farm work should always be
kept in advance of the season.
The profitable culture of the soil de-
ponds upon its thoroughness.
The nature of farm life is, in no
small degree, conducive to economy.
Good stock will not sustain its ex.
cellence long if it is not well cared for.
Premature cooling of the milk be.
fore setting will injure the butter
yield.
pedigree is simply certificate of
character. and unless it shows a good
character it is of no practical value
Fill the vacant places with young
trees. unless the orchard is old. then it
is better to plant new one.
Farm life may be made burden or
a pleasure according to the manage
ment of the home, the farm and the
work.
Every farmer should have few
colonies of bees, enough at least to
supply the table with pure, fresh
honey.
Clean up the farm, and it's value
will be increased. and when it is clean
ed and cleared it will cultivate more
easily and cheaply.
An unfruitful orchard may often be
brought into bearing by heavy ap-
plication of good stable manure scat
tered broadcast
A wet place in field can often be
drained out with but little trouble and
expense. but If this is allowed to go
undone will spoil the field and ruin the
crops.
1t is essential that a COW S udder be
entirely freed from milk at each milk
ing for if any milk is left in the I'D
der from any cause the secretions are
checked and the COW will soon go dry
il this method of milking becomes q
common practice.

The Manure Spreader.


This department Is not for the pur-
pose OF advertising tools or imple-
ments, and no such article that is sold
Is ever mentioned by the manufactur-
er's name. There are implements and
conveniences however. made by differ
ent manufacturers which should find
place Oh every farm. and one of them
is the manure-spreader, Of which there
are several good makes.
No one can appreciate the value Of
this implement until he has used it.
1t is not only labor-saver. but 1t
spreads the manure in any quantity
desired. and spreads 1t evenly. All Of
its operations are controlled from the
drivers seat. The work Of manure
spreading should be in operation from
now on more or less through the win
ter. and no farmer can make better
investment than to have this imple-
ment. 1t will give him added years Of
life in the labor it will save him, and
enable him to grow better crops.

Frank Flowers, the negro fireman
who was run over by a Coast Line
engine Wednesday night and had bot.
legs so badly crushed hat it was nee
essary to amputate them, died yester-
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
James Walker Memorial hospital. The
railroad company took charge of rhe
remains and will have them shipped
to Armour today, the former home Of
the deceased.
The negro was under the engine
cleaning out the ash pan when the
engine suddenly moves off. It is sup
pose hat the throttle was leaking and
caused a sufficient amount of steam to
escape to cause the engine to move.
When the engineer saw what had hap
pned he pulled the horribly manglei
body of the negro from the track AMI
securing a small sized rope bouni II
around his legs to stop the flow "

HILL MAKES A SPEECH.
The Former Senator Opens the CAM
paign in Broom County.

Binghamton N. Y, Aug. 25.-ForIner
Senator David B. Hill opened the
Democratic campaign in Broom county
today in a speech at the Agricultural
fair at Deposit. In the course of his
address Senator Hill touched upon the
tariff question, saying mat he believed
in an honest revision Of the tariff laws
so that vast corporate interests should
not to be subserved to the detriment of
the people. Referring to the financial
interests Of the country the Senator
lsaid:
1.-The gold standard has been irrev-
iocably established, so that there is no
necessity for a change. The Democratic
party which established the present
currency can De safety trusted when
ever the necessity shall arise to make
such changes for the best interests o.
the people"
Speaking of the essential differences
between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, me SPEAKER said, the
difference is that the Republican party
stands for private purposes ami the
Democratic prty for public purposes.
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate for the presidency" declared
Mr.. Hill, lis a fraud. At the time he
took his oath of office at the assassi-
nation of Mckinley he declared In
public that he would simply fill Nc
kialey's place, that he would not look
for the denomination. Later, on the
same train with McKin1ey's dead body,
he gave out a staement to the press
to the effect that he thought he had
been misunderstood by the public.
which Meant practically that he was a
candidate for denomination. The Re-
lpublicans had him on their hands and
could do nothing but renominate him"
