The large barn on the Barr farm, a
few miles west of Van Vert, was totally
destroyed by fire Tuesday morning.
The barn was owned by Frank Green

the fire was plainly the work of an in
cendiary. This is two houses and a
barn owned by Mr.. Greenland which
have been destroyed by fire within ten
days, and he had no insurance on the
property. The barn on the Barr place
was one of the best barns in Decatur

to get the horses and cattle out, but
Joseph Dobson, who lives on the place,
lost about 800 worth of property which
was burned.

bought lands from the state and that
find the state unable to deliver the
goods.
The general land Office at Washing

the state to great deal of land, all
over the state, which had been select
ed by the state of oregon as lieu and
base lands, claiming that the state did
not prove that the lands We're mineral

1t is said that it will take about

state has had in hand and which it
will have to turn back to the deposit

Most of these contracts or purchases
were made in 1900 and 1901.

that it would have to prove the base on
these lands within so days or they
would be declared forfeited and by de-
