WANT FIRST TIP.
Landgrabbers Heretofore Have Had Ad-
vantage of Leak.

Salem-"Give the state the first tip
was one request the state land board
made of the department of the interior
through Clifford Pinchot and F. H.
Newell, when they consulted at Port
land few days ago.
As representatives of the president
Messrs. Pinchot and Newell asked the
members of the state land board to
meet them and express their opinion
regarding local land matters in Oregon.
Among other things the members of
the board explained the manner in
which speculators have gobbled up
state lands in Oregon in advance of the
creation of reserves. The state wants
a chance to keep these lands.
In almost every instance in which
the department of the interior has
withdrawn land from entry for the pur-
pose of making forest reserve, it has
been found that some private capital
lists had in some way secured informa-
tion as to what would be done, and then
bought up the state land at $1.25 per
acre. AS soon ASA reserve had been
created the land became worth 81 to
$5 an acre as base for the selection of
lieu land.
The members of the board explained
to the representatives of the Federal
government that if a forest reserve is
to be created, the state would like to
be In :ormed as soon as any one else, so
that the state land could also be with
drawn, and the state profit by whatever
rise there might be in the value of the
land. The state does not ask to be in
formed in advance of every one else as
to what the department intends to do,
but the board wants to receive the first
information that is given out, at the
same time that others receive it.
The conference between the state land
board and Messrs. Pinchot and Newell
was very pleasant one and resulted in
a better understanding between the rep
resentatives of the state land and fed
eral land departments. The men from
Washington learned more regarding
the needs and wishes of the state, and
the Oregon authorities gained informa-
tion concerning the plans and purposes
OF the government.
There were mutual assurances of CO.
operation in land matters with view
to the accomplishment of the best re-
suits.

Noticeable Increase In Fees.

Corvallis-A considerable increase in
revenue will result from the new law
affecting the fees in the county re-
corder's office. The office in Benton
carries a salary of $1,000, and last
year the fees aggregated $1,O14. A
mortgage filed the other day cost $3.50
that under the old law would have cost
but $1.7O. For another the fee was
1926, instead of $1.6O. 1t . is esti-
mated that the increase of fees will
make the office pay net profit of $500
to 900 per year.

Cuban Congress Is Closed.

Havana, Jan. 21.-President Plama
ordered congress to adjourn this after
noon, and the session came to an end
soon after the receipt of the order. The
presidential message said briefly that
as the house had not arrived at an
agreement as to the date of closing the
session, he directed an adjournment un-
der the authority of the constitu-
tion. No objection was made in either
house to this manner of closing the
session.

Take Up Expositions.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Chairman
Tawney, of the house committee OIL in
dustrial arts and expositions, had a
conference with the president today re-
garding the Alaska exhibit at the St.
Louis exposition. Governor Brady is
the fair commissioner for Alaska, but
has been unable yet to do much in the
preparation of the exhibit because of
his executive duties. 1t is likely that
a deputy commissioner may be appoint
ed to assist him in the work.

Pendleton-Not in years have the
farmers been as jubilant over existing
conditions for the coming wheat crop.
There are indications that the crop of
1904 will be one of the largest ever pro-
duced in this section of the Blue noun
tain country. There has hardly been a
day of weather all this winter that was
injurious to the growth of grain. The
most springlike weather prevails, and
with the occasional rains fall sown
wheat has been growing steadily.

Poultry Show a Great Success.

Albany The annual poultry show
Of the Central Willamette Valley Poul-
try association was the most successful
il the history Of the alley poultry
growers. More people attended and
more birds were exhibited than hereto

REFORM FOR RussIAN PEASANTS.
Car Takes Step That Is Bound About
With Nestrictions.

Win AB86rlcf1OHS.
st. Petersburg, IAN. 2O.-Minister OF
the Interior Plehve has completed the
draft of the peasant code, or scheme,
for the peasant reiorms ordered in the
czar's recent manifesto, and it will
probably be sent to the local commit
tees throughout tie empire within a
few days.
Members of Tho, nobility in each
province and district will be allowed to
elect representatives on these commit
tees. but the ZemHtvos elective provin-
cial assemblies, Gomposed of landed
proprietors and representatives of the
artisan and peasants) will be appointed
by the governors.
The committees will be allowed free
dom to discuss theproject and propose
any changes thernin, except on three
points, which the 2mperor has reserved
from discussion. Namely: That the
peasant class mustsremain entirely sep
arate, legally, from the other classes;
that the commune is to remain un-
touched by Legislation, and that the
peasant lands arctic remain inalien-
able. -
These points stamp the forthcoming
as conservative in the main,
but the present chaos is so great and so
much room is LETT for the arbitrary
conduct of the polite and the local rep
of the ministry of the in
terror, as well as of the peasant courts
and administrative machinery and
their commune town meetings that the
liberals declare any publication would
be in the line of progress.
The ministerial project proposes to
retain the systemsof corporal punish
ment, but the emperor did not include
this among the matters not subject to
change. The emperor regards the
of the peasant class, the
retention of the economic commune and
The inalienability of peasant lands as
necessary for the protection of the peas
ants from exploitation.

Cougars Killing Cattle.

Eugene-Farmers in the vicinity OF
Lerane are annoyed more than usual
this winter by cougars, and number
of instances have been reported where
stock has been killed by them. The
animals are very sly and can rarely be
seen, but frequently they are heard in
the evening very near the settlements.
Last week DR.. Petrie went out from
Cottage Grove with his hounds and
succeeded in killing one very fine
specimen. There have been several
chases without results.

Beet Lands Near Heho. 8

Echo-Three representatives of the
Amalgamated sugar company were here
last week and inspected the land ad-
jacent to this place to see if it was
suitable for the culture of sugar beets.

prospects, and before leaving town ar
ranged for mass meeting of farmers
to be held here at 2 P. M, Saturday
January 20. They will endeavor to
get the farmers each to put in a small
crop, and where satisfactory terms can
be arranged the company will lease

SCENE.
Young Mother Goes to a
Lifetime Home.
THINKS OF CHILDREN.
Memory of Innocent Children
and Home Touches Tender
Spot in Hardened Heart.

The Baton Rouge Advocate
gives an account of the shipping
of fifteen convicts from the peni-
Tertiary by the steamer Natchez.i in
charge of Sergeant H. c. Robin
son and deputies. for the State
farm at Angola, where they go to
serve sentences varying from six
months to life time. The zebra
clothed prisoners were both white
aod black, male and female, the
largest number being black, and
some of them for the most hei-
nous crimes. TheIAdvocate says:
But the most conspicuous
among this bunch of fifteen GRIM
inals was young white woman.
but twenty-five years Of age. a
widow, a mother of two helpless,
innocent little babies. who but a
few months ago was happy when
she had her darling little ones
pressed close to her now sadden-
ed heart. The bloom of youth
that was once the joy of this mis-
guided woman has entirely disap-
peared. and her cheeks are wan
and pale, showing plainly that
the trying ordeal which. she has
passed, and which now confronts
her, has already left its pitiful
marks of suffering.
This unfortunate woman is
Mrs. Savilla P. Roberts, who was
convicted of the murder of r. III.
Williamson, of Colfax, La, for
which crime she was tried. con-
victed, and sentenced by Judge
w. L. Blackman to ninety-nine
years at hard labor in tho State
penitentiary. After her convic-
ton and sentence she confessed
to having given to Williamson a
cup of coffee which she. knew
contained enough strichnine to
kill him, but claimed that a
nephew of Williamson's prepared
the coffee which contained the
deadly poison, and that it was
her part of the diabolical plot to
give the coffee to the victim.
1t can plainly be seen that this
woman is worrying and suffering
great mental anguish, but being
a very determined woman, is able
to conceal her trouble to a great
extent. She converses intelli-
gently and without the least
until the mention of her
children and home, when she
breaks down and weeps bitterly,
which plainly shows that father
and mother, children and home,
still have tender spot in her
ssddened heart, and no doubt
the thought of never again visit
ing that old home where she has
spent SO many happy days arises
before her imagination like a |
horrible nightmare.
As this poor fraiI creature was
being transferred from the walls
With other prisoners into the
keeping Of the travelling sergeant.
Who Was to deliver her to her
'utare life time home on prison
arm, the sight was indeed |
I'D and pitiful, and strong men,
hardened criminals who have /
pent many years behind the /
'rizzled walls of the prison.
ould be seen to bow their heads 4
nd weep, for well they knew 4
that ninety-nine years of life in
penltentiary means, and crimi-
ais though they be, their sincere
went out to this unfor-
innate and hapless daughter Of
We and her helpless little babes,
'ho will never know the bless
lgs and comforts of mother.
