TANNING GETS CLAIM.
Land Commissioner Decides Contest
in His Favor.

The suit Of John j. Tanning against
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway Co. involving his claim to the
e = OF Sc d aud NV d of se4, sec 20.
22.S has been decided by Commissioner
w. A. Richards in Fannings favor and
his conclusions affirming the previous
decision of the register and receiver Of
the local U. S. Land Office at Olympia,
arctic the effect that while Fanning's
residence on his claim may not have
been all that could be desired. he had
established residence on the land when
the railway company selected it and that
he had no home elsewhere and that "the
law deals tenderly with one who in good
faith, goes upon the public lands with a
view OF making home"

What is described as the largest Tepe
in the world is valued at $4,000 and is
counted as one of the most remarkable
pieces of carving in existence. The
pipe is made of one solid piece of
meerschaum and represents the land

four figures in the scene, each one four
inches high. The carver who executed
this masterpiece is dead. and. as the

Councilman Sherwood struck the right
spot when he contrasted the dilatory
methods of Aberdeen in collecting stress
a. sessments with that of Hoquiam. A
promptuess in forcing those collections
sh ould be rigidly enforced by the new

contractors leary and causes them to bid
high, so that those who pay promptly

The city council has advertised for bids
for u new bridge to North Aberdeen.
The HERALD suggests that the street
committee look up the cost Of road be-

believe such a road can be built for less
money than steel bridge, and will not
only dis ense with the cost of maintain
ing and operating the bridge, but will
save the price of new bridge later.

BRYAN'S POPULARITY.

The people have come TO see 'h"'
whatever ell Mr. Bryan il, he Is honest
and sincere as brave az he is incorrnl
tible: as high minded as he is Just; as
loyal to What he conceives to be the pest
interests OF all the people as he is relen'-
less in his opposition to all forms OF priv
ilege, corruption and injustice. Ihey
s,e that mong all our statesmen today
no man is more Absolutely free from the
tricks and subterfuges of the demagogue
and more candid and frank on all sub
iects in which the people are concerned
than he: while above and beyond all
else they see and know that no living
statesman is more thoroughly under the
compu.sion OF modern idealism than MIR.
BRYAN. This, indeed, we believe is the
master secret of his power over the
brain of Americas conscience guided
millions. Numbers who have not
agreed with him on many questions
have come to deeply admire the man be-
cause OF his transparent nobility OF pur-
D, se, his lofty patriotism and lis loyal
ty to the Wis ion that was the pillar OF
FIRE to Washington, Franklin and Jefier'
son in the infant days Of our national
histo y. Mr. Bryan is sound in heart.
Of this the millions of Americans are per-
suaded, and because they feel and know
this to DE true they are ready to follow
him.-The Arena.
