Mr.. Cortelyou's appointment as head

termined on several months ago by
President Roosevelt, when Mr.. Payne
indicated to the president his desire to
retire from the department on account
of the precarious state of his health.
Mr.. Payne would have resigned the
portfolio long ago had it not been for
the then pending investigation of the
affairs of the department. He felt.

friends, that he could not relinquish

SOVEREIGNTY is RECOGNIZED.
Diplomats on ISthmuS of Panama
will Be Accredited to America.

Washington, Oct. g. Chile has
formally recognized the absolute SOW
ereignty of the United States over the
Panama canal zone. Other nations
which have been holding back to await
the outcome of the diplomatic test case
will do the same. The result will be
that practically all the foreign diplo-
mats on the isthmus will be accredited
to this country instead of Panama.
Chile some time ago applied for an
equatum for Greonimo Osso, who was
appointed consul at Panama. The re-
quest was withheld, owing to the un-
settled condition of affairs. Though
this country exercises full control over
the canal zone, the land belongs to
Panama. Today the secretary of state
disposed of the question by issuing the
exequatur, but instead of being in the
regular form it is notification to Gen
eral Davis, governor general of the ca
nal zone, that Mr.. Ossa is authorized
to represent Chile in all diplomatic
matters involving the canal strip.
This will probably involve further
differences between this government
and the republic of Panama.

Salem-The new septic tank recent
reconstructed at the State Mute school
is giving complete satisfaction. The
board of trustees of that institution
visited the school and were highly
pleased with the improvement in the
sewerage system, which makes the con-
ditions there more healtbful.
cit seems to me that the septic tank

said Governor Chambe1la lain, after his
return from the Mute school. "By
this process all solid matters are con-
sumed and the outflow from the septic
tank is clear and odo1less liquid. l
believe these tanks should be used even
where there is good sewer connections,
for by this means the sewer system can
be made to carry larger amount of
refuse and the stream into which it is
TUNED will not be so heavily polluted.
In suburban districts where there are
no sewer connections the spetic tank
will do much to improve sanitary con-
ditions. believe the people should
investigate the subject and learn the
value of the septic tank"

DEATH is SURE!
Payne Only kepf Alive by
Use of SfimuIdnfS.
STRENGTH is FAST FAILING
Family Has Been Summoned to the
Bedside of United States Posi-
master General.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Postmaste
General Payne is still alive. but onl,
as the result of the injection of th'
most powerful drugs known to the med
lcal profession. Frequent sinking
spells marked the day yesterday, ane
his condition is decidedly worse thil
morning than it was "a hours ago
The physicians express not the slightest
hope for his recovery, and during the
night possessed 80 little confidence thai
their distinguished patient could live
through until morning that at mid
night bulletins were issued predicting
dissolution within few minutes, and
at 2 o'clock this morning they placed
the limit at two hours at the outside,
with the probability that every moment
would be the last.
General Payne, after spending the
forepart of the night in quiet sleep,
was seized at midnight with a sinking
spell worse than any that had preced-
ed it. Powerful restoratives admins
tered in larger quantities than thereto
fore given produced not the slightest
apparent effect, and the members OF
the family were hastily summoned to
the bedside.
Two hours later a message was re-
ceived from the bedside that the gener-
al was still alive, but all hope had been
abandoned. The physicians refused to
state how long their patient could sur
vive, but stated that while he might
live for two hours, on the other hand,
the end might come at the next mo-
ment. After administering the stimu-
lants at midnight, the physicians dis
continued the use of drugs, and there
alter allowed nature to take it's course.
Shortly after half past two, the pa
tient showed signs of reviving, and a
few seconds later he completely re-
gained consciousness, and exclaimed
ssHello' to those about him. DR.. Ma
gruder asked him how be was feeling
and received the reply "frst rate"
Milk was then given him to drink.
Shortly after 4 O'Clock, General
Payne's private secretary issued bull
letin in effect, that the patient was
resting easily. 1t was added that Cen
eral Payne's pulse was steadier and his
more natural than it had
been for days. A consultation will
probably be held this morning.

CUT ON GOVERNMENT LAND.
Many Cords of Wood Held Up in the
Vicinity of MeaCham.

La Grande-It is reported that there
is tied up by government inspectors
around Meacham, 25 miles west of this
city, 1000 cords of wood believed to
have been cut from land not yet out of
government ownership. A large num-
Der of men have filed on land in the
mountains. OF each 100 acres 12O is
grazing land and 40 acres timber land.
The pre-emptors can get the grazing
land on time, and yet use it for grazing
purposes. To acquire title enough. to
give them the right to cut wood ON the
remaining 40 acres they must pay dow n
in full for the land. This it is alleged
many have not done.
The marketing of the 2, ZOO cords de-
pends upon the outcome Of the investi-
cation. 1t is believed it will be releas-
ed upon the settlement of each individ-
ual for the 40 acres of timber land by
paying the cash for it, as was the orig
inal intention.

Heart Disease Causes fhe Death OF
Postmaster General.
Washington. Oct 6.-Henry C.
Payne, postmaster general of the
United States, member of the nation
al Republican committee, stalwart of
his party, with the history of which,
in his home state and nationally, he
had been identified for many years, died
at his apartments at the Arlington hotel
at 6:l0 last night, aged so years.
Death was due to disease of the mitral
valve and dilation of the heart.
Mr.. Payne has been in poor health
for at least two years, but his last ILL
ness covered only seven days. an attack
of heart trouble last week precipitat-
ing the end, at time when, after q
1est, he appeared to have recovered a
small measure of the vitality impaired
by years of arduouus labor. Death
came after nearly six hours of uncon-
sciousness. The last official caller to
inquire as to Mr.. Payne's condition was
President Roosevelt, and he had been
gone only about ten minutes when the
stricken member of the cabinet ex-
pired.
The death Of the postmaster general
came as the result really of a success
sion of sinking spells due to weak
heart that enfeebled the sick man un-
til finally the heart literally gave out.
Never in recent years robust, Mr..
Payne was unable to Withstand the
shock of the sinking spells, and last
Friday, when he bad two sinking
spells, it was believed he was rapidly
the end. While moderate
doses of heart remedies suficed at first,
it became necessary by Sunday to give
much more powerful stimulants, and
the doses were given in greater quanti-
ties than on any previous day.
