MUST LIVE ON LAND.
Heirs of Old Soldiers Required So
TO DO To Complete Title.

Heirs of Old Soldiers Required So
TO DO To Complete Title.
Portland, Or, July 21.-A special
to the Telegram from Walla Walla says:
According to decision just received
at the local land Office, the widows and
orphans Of old soldiers will in future
be compelled to complete their title to
homesteads by living on the land the
same length of time that would have
been required of the soldier or sailor.
Heretofore widows and children of de-
ceased soldiers were allowed to prove
up on land without actually living
upon the same the full time. Under
the new ruling they will be compelled
to actually reside ON the land for full
five years, only deducting from that
time the amount of time that the hus-
band or father served in the army.
If the soldier or sailor died while
actually engaged in the service, how
ever, this ruling will not apply. This
order goes into effect at once and all
persons who have made entries are to
be notified Immediately. If they fail
to comply with the provision within
sixty days their entries will be held
RECOMMENDATION. The ruling will affect
a large number of families of soldiers
in Oregon and Washington.

CZAR is VEXED.

Expresses Great Displeasure at Pos
sibiiity of Complications.
st. Petersburg, July 2l.-The Asso-
ciated Press has just been informed
that Emperor Nicholas, in an inter
view with Count Lamsdorff, the for
eign minister, expressed his displeas-
ure at the turn events had taken and
at the possibility of complications with
Great Britain arising out of the de-
tention of British ships by the Russian
volunteer feet steamers in the Red sea
This pacific attitude, if the report
be true, will doubtless lead to an i'm
mediate and amicable adjustment of
the dicffiulties.

WILL ARBITRATE IT
AGREEMENT REACHED IN pAck
ERS' STRIKE.
Companies Agree to Submit Nc
ferences to Arbitration Board
and to Take Back All Old Me-
Within Limited Time..Work Re-
gins at Once.

Chicago, July 21.-The strike 90
packing house employees, begun nina
days ago, and which has demoralized
the packing industry throughout the
country, has been settled at a confer
ence between representative of the
packers, the officials of the meat cut
ters' union and representatives of all
the allied trades employed at the stock
yards. The whole controversy will be
submitted to board of arbitration
both sides agreeing to abide by what.
ever decision the board may make.
Pending the decision of the arbi.
tration board the men will be taken
back to work as rapidly as possible by
the packers, and it is agreed by the
packers that all the old employees are
to be reinstated within 40 days from
the date work is resumed. If any of
the former employees are still unem.
ployed at the expiration of that time.
such persons are to have the privilege
Of submitting their cases to. the arb,
tration board for settlement.
Men Return to Work.
The strikers will return to work as
soon as they can be notified of the
peaceful adjustment of the trouble,
and 1t is expected that within the next
twenty -four hours everything will be
in normal shape at all the plants in
the different cities where the employees
were on strike. Half an hour after
the decision had been reached to arbi.
trate, M. J. Donnelly, the strike leader
had gotten into communication by
long distance telephone with the lead
ers of the strikers in outside cities.
and had notified them that satisfac-
tory settlement had been reached, and
directed the strikers to return to work
as soon as possible.
The settlement of the difficulty by
arbitration was brought about by the
allied crafts at the stockyards, who
would have become involved in the
controversy had it lasted much longer
The representatives of the unions
which include about IA 900 men, got
together Tuesday and sent final ap-
peal to the packers, asking for three
sided conference Wednesday between
the packers, the strikers and them
selves, in an effort to arrange some
sort of agreement which would pre-
vent the strike spreading to the afil-
lated unions. This appeal of the al
lied trades unions received favorable
response from the packers, and yester
days conference was the result.

STORY WAS WILD
CAVALRY CHARGE AT AMERICAN
LAKE EXAGGERATED.
General Funston lntimates That
Principal Damage Done Was
On Paper..-Matter Will Be In.
vcstigated Because Orders Were
Not Followed.

Camp Murray, July 20.-Officers of
both the regular army and the national
guard Of Washington are united in pro-
nouncing the story of the disaster
wrought by the cavalry charge of last
Saturday much exaggerated. Said
Gen. Funston:
THE story was grossly exaggerated.
The amount of truth in it was so small
as to make it a negative quantity As
a matter of fact, no man was badly
hurt, all the injuries being of so trivial
nature that they might have been
acquired in drill, mach less maneu-
vers. Now that it has been given no.
toriety, however it has been deemed
we'll to investigate the exact facts.
This will be done.
THE charge was a mistake, and in
riding into the lines of infantry the
men were guilty of violation of or
ders, which directed all charges to
halt within 100 yards of the enemy.
The investigation is not because any
body was hurt, because | do not con-
slider any one was hurt, but because
orders were violated, apparently, and
some one might have been hurt.
Maj. Ebert, chief surgeon of the di-
vision, who was present at the forego-
ing conversation, said:
1.-The tale that men were badly cut
and bruised is absolutely without foun.
dalton. One man, it is true, did assert
that he had been badly hurt on the leg,
and SO came under medical treatment.
A close examination of him at the hos
pital, however, an hour after the
charge, failed to reveal the slightest
trace of a bruise on the leg he asserted
was injured or anywhere else on his
body. In ordinary artillery drill at
Vancouver barracks more men are in
jured and injured worse, though none
of them seriously, than in the whole
maneuver of Saturday"
Gen. Drain Satisfied.
Adjt. Gen. Drain, of this state, who
was present, said:
II endorse what Gen. Funston has
said. No Washington man was at all
badly hurt. 1t is true that the cav
airy came into the infantry lines, and
/ ehop ohc odNdiIy ncISo WAS kllitu ny
another, as stated in the papers, but to
assert that the cavalry deliberately
tried to injure national guardsmen in
the charge is untrue. l have investi
gated the matter, and am satisfied that
the cavalrymen had no desire to do
bodily harm, and that such few bruises
as bewere incurred were the result of
the excitement and the rush of trying
20 get away.
1.-The cavalry horses apparently be-
came unmanageable and went into the
infantry. The infantry tried to es.
cape, and some were bumped 1t is
nothing unusual or strange. The same
thing frequently occurs in drills and
maneuvers and creates no comment
whatever. l have no doubt that men,
bers Of the field artillery in the maneu-
vers just closed suffered much more
serious injury without a word being
said about it."

BOY
STOLE HORSE

Willie Neill, aged ~ years. became
a resident of the county Jail last eve
ming for the fourth time. 1t is quite
evident that he is a very naughty
boy. Upon his little face there is
a certain don't-care expression that
appeals to the observer. He weighs
about 35 pounds and is below heighth
for his years. His vocabulary is
made up mostly of swear words-and
great big ones at that. He isn't
afraid of anybody and threatens to
knock the head OFF, OF the officers of
the law If they don't leave him
alone.
Willie Is accused Of stealing a
horse and trying to sell 1T. There Is
evidence enough to convict him of the
theft.
He has no mother and the father
has tried to do the best for his son,
but the lad seems persistent in dis
obeying him and getting into trouble.
The boy is possessed with a desire to
lead a cowboy life. having been told
that it Is one of daring and most
popular.
1t is quite likely that a commit
ment to the reform school will be
made at an early date.

The question of pure milk is re-

samples OF milk from every dairy and

Said DR.. Genoway: Il have two
men engaged who do nothing else save
collect samples of milk In the per-
formance Of their duties 1t is their
privilege to enter any dairy or stop
any milk wagon to procure sample
Of their goods. 1t will be seen that
an effort to dodge the collectors is
impossible. The name of every dairy
failing to live up to the standard Of
excellence set down by the board of
health will be published and a fine
imposed after August 1.
1T is my chief aim while holding
this office to put Spokane on a SAM
tary basis that will be credit to
the northwest"
Continuing, DIR. Genoway stated
that the state law upon the subject
was very good, but that 1t did not
cover the city and even those are
not enforced. For instance. some
