Land Cases decided.

The officers of the Oregon City
Land Office handed down four
important decisions by which the
entries to an entire section of
valuable timber land in Benton
county are cancelled. The cases
decided are:
Morse Burnap VS.. Edna N.
Spaulding, Henry Amber VS..
Charles w. SpauIding, Charles
w Davis VS. Lillian E. Spauld-
ing and William D. Mack VS.
Charles A. Spaulding.
Much interest attaches to the
decisions for the contests were
warmly fought from the start,
p ointment attorneys Of the state
being employed by the contesting
parties.
The land involved in the con-
test is section "a, township 13
south, range 7 west, and is valued
for its remarkable growth of tim

residence, non cultivation of the
land and contended that the ori-
ainal settlers filed on the lands
solely tor the timber. III decid-

Office says in part, all Of the
cases being decided on the same
points: T.
GA fair and reasonable inter
pretation OF the evidence leads to
the belief that the entryman
never established his actual resi-
dence on the land with the in
tentien of making it his perma-
nent home to the exclusion of
any other home elsewhere, and
that his few trips to the land
were only occasional visits de-
signed to show compliance with
the letter of the law. His i'm

cient to fit it tor habitation. His

entryman has not complied with

his permanent home, we there

EPILEPSY IN HOGS.
This Disease, Commonly known a
Blind Staggers, Readily Yields
to Careful Treatment.

Blind staggers, or; in medical par
lance, epilepsy, in pigs, is quite COM
mon. 1t may be the effect of various
causes. In whatever way brought on,
the condition indicates imperfect nu-
triton of the brain and nervous sys-
tenn. This may be brought about by un-
duly stimulating food, as constant
feeding upon cornmeal, and confine-
ment. A wet, uncomf ortable bed often
leads to the disease in young pigs. A
course of two close breeding develops
this disease. The symptoms Of an at
tack of epilepsy are sometimes diff
ferent in different animals. Some
times the pig stands and froths at the
mouth, then, after a few moments,
staggers and falls as II in a fit. After
lying awhile, it RECEIVERS and seems
in its normal condition again, perhaps
for several days, when symptoms will
occur again, often proving fatal. Some
times the pig forces his nose into q
corner of the pen and stands trem--
bling for few moments, and suddenly
darts around the pen few times and
falls motionless upon the floor. When

in small pigs they should be given q
good dry bed and ten or IL drops of
chloride of iron twice day for few
days in their food. AS a preventive
when pigs show symptoms of disease,
withhold the food mainly and feed sui
phur and powdered charcoal for few
days. Supplying dry, comfortable
quarters and feeding the young pigs
with a good supply of milk and occa-
sionally a mess of boiled faxseed will
be particularly good, as containing
large proportion of oleaginous matter.
A few cabbages, grass and oatmeal are
helpful as varied diet. AS in many
other things due regard to their con-
dition that seems to prevent the dis
ease is better than to be obliged to
resort to. the various remedies, and
then, perhaps, fail to restore the an
imal to health.-Eastern Exchange.

SMALLER TEAM WINS.
Husky Seattle Lads Unable to
Down o. A. c. Team.

In what was probably the most
intensely interesting and exciting
basket ball game ever played at
%. A. c.. the SO far victorious U.
iof W. basket ball team went
down to defeat before the smaller
but faster o. A. c. boys, by a
score of 22 to Io.
After the first few minutes play
Moores dropped the sphere in o.
A. C's basket, and the ball had
hardly been put in motion again
at the center of the field when he
repeated the feat. During the
first half Moores made three bas-
kets, Coates and Cate one each,
making the score 10 to S in favor
of the home team.
In the second half, big McDon
aid who had refereed square
game during the first half, went
in as center for Washington, and
little Swan took his place on the
home team. During the second
half Moores threw one basket,
and Swan five, although one of
these was not allowed. For
Washington, Mcdonald threw
six, one of his not being allowed.
The game ended amid intense
excitement, with the score 22
to 10.
So confident were the Seattle
boys of winning, that they
brought one or two Polk county
persons along with money to
back their assertions, but failed
to place their coin.. The U. of
w. boys left the next day for
Eugene, where they defeated the
U. of O. team by a score Of 19
to I6.

Republican Convention.

Benton will have a represen-
tation of 7 delegates TO the State
Convention, which will be held
in Portland on Thursday April
IA. The total number of dele
gates will be 361. The State
Committee recommends to Coun-
ty Committees Saturday April 2,
for the holding of primaries and
Thursday April 9TH for County
Conventions That will be six
weeks from next Thursday.
Just before the adjournment of
the Committee w. L. Boise
spoke on the debt the State of
Oregon owes to Roosevelt. He
said in part:
eve owe a great debt of graft
tude to the President of the Unit
ed States for the good he has
done for US in the matter of rec
ognition and appropriation for
luC 1<CwAS x Nal Il L oil. WdS
one of the, special delegates sent
to Washington to secure Nation
al recognition and when we got
there we found serious opposition
to all such matters among the
members of Congress. We ap-
pealed TO the President, and he
did all in his power and succeed
ed in turning the tide in Our
favor. Therefore, we owe him a
debt of gratitude which each
member of this committee should
proclaim when he returns to his
country. The Presidents heart
is in the West. Oregon will be
the first state in the West to send
forth the slogan for the Novem-
Der campaign. Let us deter
mine to roll up an unprecedented
Republican majority in June and
thus show to the President of the
United States that we stand ready
to pay a portion of that debt OF
gratitude in November"

Joseph Carroll. the champion middle
weight OF England at the Grand Opera
House last night. Ca the best wrestling
bout ever witnessed in this city The com
test was catch-as-catch-can two best In
three. Dwyer won the first and third falls.
Carroll. at the close of the match made
a speech before the footlights I'm which he
challenged Professor Dwyer To another
match lie said he was not in proper con-
diiton; but would get in condition if
Dwyer would give him another chance.
Carroll said ho would deposit from 500
to 5000 for the match. Professor Dwyer
stated that he did not care to meet "a
man again that he has once defeated, but
he may give Carroll another chance.
There were two preliminary bouts in
which Frank Kyle won from Charles Ro-
manga, the latter injuring his head by
falling OH the mat. Both are locals. w.
c.. Hyland won from Joe Bennett in ten
minute bout.
Tho preliminary bouts were Wen con-
testel and came m for liborul applause.
but the crowd was anxiously awaiting
the appearance of Dwyer and Carroll. and
when they advanced TO. the centre of the
mat, there was am outburst of applause.
John Y. Cooper, % wcll-known sportsman,
OF this city. refereed am the bouts while
Otto Goepel was timekeeper.
The men seemed TO bo well matched.
Dwycr won the FIRST fam, and fl was
accomplished just thirty-hvc minutes af-
ter the match began. Tie did the trick by
a half Nelson and am arm lock.
Carroll was twenty-five minutes and
seven seconds in winning his fan, and ho
scored ON q half Nelson and arm lock.

were pretty wei wlnded when Carroll
scored his fall.
The last few minutes of the bout were
featured hy "a fine exhibition of wrestling,
the champions spinning about the mats
like tops. Just nineteen minutes and two
seconds after going ON the mat for the
last fam Dwyor by a clever execution of
the arm lock pinned his opponent TO the
mat aud won the match.
The preliminary bout between Kyle and
Romanga. both of whom are members of
the Wilmington Turngemeinde. was a
good exhibition of wrestling. 1t was foi
two hest ont of three falls. Romanga wor
the FIRST fan. Kyle won the second by an
arm hold. and was given the decision
later when Romunga fell OF the mat anc
injured his head.
The match between Joe Bennett and w
G.. iyland was good exhibition OF
wrestling. II was a ten minute bout am,
Hyland won in eight minutes.
