berIain Sides With Settlers.

Salem, Jan. 14.-Once more the

some of the most valuable lands in
the southern part of the state. Judge
Fl. L. Benson has rendered decision
In favor of the company in the SUIT
instituted by the attorney general OF
the state, at the request of Governor
Chamberlain, who has made a strong
effort to establish the settlers claims.
An appeal will doubtless be taken to
the state supreme court.
The controversy is one OF the most
noted land cases which has arisen IN
Oregon. II has been carried from the
Lakeview land office to the general
land office at Washington and then
to the secretary of the interior The
latter gave decision adverse to the
settlers claims and Governor Cham-
berlain then took up their cause.
The governor had long correspon-
dence with the secretary OF 1he m
terror. which has been the occasion
of much newspaper comment, put the
secretary refused to modify the stanu
he had taken. Governor Chaanper-
lain's contention was that pa1eh's
should not be issued to the company
but to the state, out this contention
was overruiad and patents to much OIL
the land were issued to the company
attorney.

Tribute to Japanese Bravery.

Toxic, Jan. 14.-"The bravery
shown by the Japanese navy is be-
yond comparison" said Major Gener-
al Maiden, one of the paroled Rus
sian officers, arrived here from Port
Arthur. "It's achievements are une
parallefed. With the Japanese navy
and the Russian army nothing In the
whole world could Withstand you
Our soldiers are uneducated- 1t Is
not so with the Japanese. The brav-
cry displayed by the Japanese SOL
diers is unrivaled. 1t seems shameful
to kill such splendid men," Maiden
expressed belief in the early end OF
the war.

Special Order from the Gar.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE czar
today issued the order of the day to
the army in praise of the heroic de-
fense of Port Arthur by Stoessel and
the garrison. The order reads:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy. After IA struggle
lasting ii months, during seven Of
which the brave garrison was isolat-
ed without hope, nevertheless they
sustained the siege, hardships, priva-
tions and moral tortures without COM
plant, determined that the enemy
would gan nothing without paying
dearly. With a handful of men we
withstood the enemy's furious at
tacks.
my brave soldiers and sailors let
not this sorrow discourage you. our
enemy is brave and strong, and IL is
extremely difficult to sustain the
struggle at distance of 10000 versts,
but Russia is great and powerful, ana
during her national life of 1000 years
she has given hard proof Of her abili-
ty to overcome even more serious
dangers Each time she has arisen
more powerful than ever, and full OF
vigor.
I'VE are greatly grieved by our lack
of success and painful losses, but let
us not abandon courage. 1t is in sor-
rowful times, such as these, that the
power of Russia renews itself i am
confident that the hour of victory is
striking, and God will bless our dear
army and navy's effort to crush the
enemy and sustain the honor and
glory of the fatherland."

Washington, Jan. 14.-Definite no.

With the fercaness Cf a prairie fire
and destructive witbaI, lurid flames
swept over beautiful Magnolia Del,
south Georgia's greatest picnic resort,
yesterday afternoon, il ficting damage
the extent of which will be great and
irreparable.
For an hour the flames leaped and
danced amid the magnificent magnolia
trees there.
The commodious picnic and dancing
pavilion, erected by the city at cost oil
several hundred dollars, fell a prey to
the deYouring flames and was complete.
ly destroyed.
From MuckaIee to Town creek the
fire swept unrestrained.
An alarm of fire was sent to head
quarters aud the run of measured
mile was quickly covered by the de-
par ment, but nothing could be done
to save the pavilion. When the trucks
arrived it was smoking heap of ashes
and complete loss.
The nearest fire plug is at least Q
quarter mile away, and even had the
alarm been sent IN earlier little aid
could have been given as several rail.
way tracks lay between.
To nav reached the pavilion it would
have been necessary to lay hose across
the trackF, which would have proved 8
menace
The pavilion can, and doubtless will
be replaced at once, butthe Injury done
to many of the stately magnolia and
beech trees by the fire may be lasting,
The dell was thiokly covered over with
dead leaves which furnished food fol-
the flames.
The fire originated in neighborine
field, where some one had been burn

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia,

Pneumonia il too dangerous a di-
se2se for any Il, ~ 4ttempt to doctor
himself. alh ugh he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physisi-
clan should always be called, It
should be borne in MIND, however,
that pneumonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of the grip, and
by the proper treatment of these di-
seaees a threatened attack of pneumo-
MIA may be arded off. There is no
question whatever about this. as dur
ing the thirty years and more that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we have yet to learn of single
case of cold or at, ack of the grip hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia when the
remedy was used. It is also used
by physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results DR.. w
J. Smith of Sanders, Ala, who is also
druggist. says of it: II have been
selling Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. I used it in case of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results. For rale by all druggists.
