Good faith Not Evident.

Oregon City, Or, Feb. 1.-THE ofti-
GERS OF the Oregon City Land Office to-
day handed down four important decis-
ions by which the entries to an entire
section of valuable timber land in Ben
ton county are cancelled. The cases
decided are:
Morse Burnap vs.. Edna N. Spalding,
Henry Amber VS.. Charles W. Spalding
Charles W. Davis vs.. Lillian E. Spalding
and William D. Mack vs. Charles A.
Spalding.
Much interest attaches to the decisions
for the contests were warmly fought from
the start, prominent attorneys of the
state being employed by the contesting
parties.
The land involved in the contests is
section "a, township 13, south range Z
west. and is valned for its remarkable
growth of timber. Contestants alleges
nonresidence, noncutivation Of the land
and contended that the original settlers
filed on the lands solely for the timber.
In deciding for the contestants, the local
Office says in part, all of the cases belt g
decided on the same points:
"a fair and reasonable Interpretation
of the evidence leads to the belief that
the entrvman never established his ac-
tual residence on the land with the in
tenton of making it his permanent home
to the exclusion of any other home else
where, and that his few trips to the land
were only occasional visits designed to
show compliance with the letter of the
law. His improvements on said land
are meagre and have scarcely been suffi
cient to fit it for habtation. His real
home appears to have been in Corvallis
cit appearing to us that the entryman
has not complied with the homestead
law as to residence, cultivation and i'm
proyements, and that his acts do not evi-
dence good faith in making said land his
permanent home, we therefore recon-
mend the cancellation of the entry in
volyed therein"

Variag's crew lost their lives when the
vessel was destroyed Monday by Japan
ese off Chemulpo, according to World
dispatch from Toxic. The crew OF the
Russian cruiser numbered $40. Many
lost their lives under fire, but large
number were drowned in attempting to
escape.
The men loyalty aided their officers,
and if is said not one of the latter was
drowned in getting ashore. Many swan
not to the shore, but to the foreign men
of war in the harbor, which promptly
lowered boats and went to their rescue.
Besides the French cruiser Pascal, the
italian cruiser Eba and the British
cruiser Talbot aided the refugees. One
hundred and fifty, many OF them wound
| ed, reached the Talbot.
Sir Cyprian Bridge, the British Ad-
miral in command of the station, has
ordered that the wounded Russians shall
not be handed overto the Japanese un-

The Japanese did not lose man.
None of the fleet, which is known tc

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Niagara Falls, FEB. 27.-Of all the deeds
of daring witnessed at Niagara few equal
that performed by John Z. Barlow, the
famous Cave of the Wind guide, and Ed
ward Perry. superintendent of the New
York State Reservation.
Ever since the new bridges were con-
structed between the mainland and Goat
1slorc numerous crios used in the tenn
porary structure have occupied places here
and there on the rocks between the bridges
and the brink of the American fall.
These cribs were unslghtiy, and Super
them removed.
The severe weather has resulted in a
vast field OF ice gathering on that part of
the river below Green Island and down TO
the very brink OF the American Fai.. For
many days it has appeared quite solid, and
superintendent Perry resolved to make a
personal inspection of the cribs and try
TO effect their removal.
Calling Guide Barlow, who is Il reserva-
ton omploye, to his assistance, Superin-
tendent Perry made his way TO Green
Island and, passing 10 the foot of the
pretty Isle, he stepped out upon the frozen
surface of the river. The two inspected
the cribs and determined that they could
be removed, and this was done later in
the day.
But as Superintendent Perry and Guide
Barlow walked across the ice they became

them to walk down to the very brink of
the foil at a point never before reached
by a human being. Guide Barlow took
The lead.
They passed Robinson's Island, and went
to the edge of the mass Of ice that turned
down the face of the cliff and had its
foundation lar down at the foot of the
fall. 15S feet below.
Every step they took was watched by
people in the park. on Goat Island and
frem the Canadian side of the river. Their
position was abcut midway between Pros
pect Point and Goat Island.
Between them and Prospect Point the
river flowed i'll Il furious manner, and
close by L.Ina's shore another portion OF
he river plunged over the brink to the
gorge below. Thus on either side of them
the river was flowing, but en- this strip of
ice hat had found iodgment below Rob
inscn'S Island, the outer one of the pretty
spots between the island bridges and the
fall. they managed 10 walk right down to
the extreme edge of the waterfall.
On the trip down the two had passed in
side of Robinson's Island. but on the re-
turn trip they walked between this island
and the American mainland. and then Su-
perintendent Perry took occasion to ex-
plore RobinsOn's Island, later setting foot
upon every one of the little Isles above
the brink of the waterfall.
No other man had ever done this. but
Mr.. Perry made an official inspection of
the pretty domain over which he reigns.
