TWO DIFFERENT NAMES
GIVEN NEW BOULEVARD
Supervisors and Park Commits.
siOners Have Controversy
Over Ocean Road

A tilt as to what body has jurisdic-
ton in the matter of giving name to
the Ocean boulevard is being engaged
in between the park commissioners and
the board of supervisors. Recently the
board of supervisors christened it the
Balboa boulevard. The park commis-
sioners had named it the Great high
way, and yesterday at their weekly
meeting warmly condemned the inter
ference of the supervisors in matters
which lie outside of their Jurisdiction.
Commissioners Matson and Lloyd
spoke to the question and insisted that
Great highway it was and should re-
main. The boulevard, they said, need
not be rechristened. In their opinion
the supervisors, in formally and of
ficially declaring that the highway be
named after the discoverer of the Pa
cific, acted unwisely. The unanimous
vote of the commission was: City

ATTACKS HIS Wife
AND ENDS OWN LIFE
Carpenter Attempts to Murder
Woman Who Refused to Live
With Him Longer
TheObOId Mangan Hacks Him
self Many Times After
Cutting His Throat

Failing in his efforts to have his wife
return to him, Theobold Mangan, a car
penter, made a brutal and vicious at
tack on her, and concluded by literally
hacking himself to death yesterday
evening.
Mrs. Mangan, who is so years of age,
married Mangan three years ago. A
year ago their domestic troubles be-
came so acute that she left him, but
on his appeals and promises of good
behavior in the future she returned.
Her second stay was of short dura-
tion and four months ago she left him
again, taking up her residence with her
daughter by a former marriage, Mrs.
Louise Castro, at 1882 Stevenson street.
His wife refused to return and put up
with the cruel treatment which she
had suffered in the past.
While Mrs. Castro and Mrs Mangan
were at dinner yesterday evening Man
gan broke into the house from a rear
window and entering the dining room
pulled a revolver from his pocket,
at the same time ordering his wife
to return.
Mrs. Louise Castro ran out of the
house with her child, who was in the
room. and Mrs. Mangan made an at
tempt to follow her, but was foiled by
her husband. Placing the revolver
against her breast, he pulled the trig-
ger. but as he had it loaded merely
with blank cartridges the woman suf-
fered no harm. Catching her by the
throat he beat her about the head with
the butt end of his gun.
Mangan kept up his attack until his
Wife fell unconscious and then, drawing
a rusty knife, plunged it into his
throat. AS he lay writhing in agony he
hacked at himself time and again, in
flicting six wounds in his throat and
81 around the heart.
Mrs. Mangan was taken to the CEN
tral emergency hospital and will re-
cover, but Mangan was dead when the
ambulance wagon was sent for him

Land Fraud Trials Illegal.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided that the conviction OF
Ex-Representative Williamson was
illegal and has granted him a new
trial. Williamson was convicted in
the United States District Court at
Portland for defrauding the Govern
ment out of public lands.
Tie Court, in rendering its de-
cision, springs a surprise on the
prosecution by deciding that an
entryman on public lands may
agree to sell the same, even before
making final proof, and that the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office exceeded his authority in
ruling that an entryman in making
final proof must make affidavit that
he has not bargained or agreed to
sell or dispose of the land or any
part thereof" After expressing
this opinion the Court says:
We cannot perceive how, under
the statute, if an applicant has in
good faith, complied with the re-
quirements of the second section of
the timber and stone act and, pend
ing publication of notice, has con-
tracted to convey, after patent, his
rights to the land, his so doing
could operate to forfeit his right.
1t remains to see whether it
was in the power of the Commits
sioner-General's Office to exact rules
and regulations by which an entry
man would be compelled TO do that
at the final hearing which the act of
Congress must be considered as hav-
ing expressly excluded, in order
thereby to deprive the entrymen of
a right which the act by necessary
implication conferred upon him"
We cannot help but wonder, in
view of the above, what is fraud as
applied to the public lands.

The better element of the liquor
dealers in Salem have started a
fight against prohibition by protest
ing against the grant ing of licenses
to saloons having the reputation for
violating the laws and for disorderly
conduct. They have also signed
agreements not to sell liquor to
minors nor to persons intoxicated.
Had the dealers in wet goods used
this plan years ago probably the
wave of prohibition that is sweeping
over the entire country today would
not be 50 strong.

Reclaim the Tldelands.

There is on Yaquina Bay about
1000 acres Of ticeiands. This
land is for the most part lying idle,
covered with drift-wood and tide
grass, subject to the overflow Of the
tides, continual expense with no
income.
Attempts have been made in
several cases to reclaim this land by
dyking, but all efforts, so far, have
been of doubtful success. Heavy
storms with the naturally large win
ter tides combined, usually bring
disaster to the dyked land, breaking
the dykes, overhowing the land and
covering it with debris and drift
wood, necessitating extensive repairs
to the dykes and reclearing the
land with a regularity that is be-
coming monotonous to the owners
A project is on foot now to con-
struct sucker dredge and fill in
the land to a point above the high
est tides, or at least to raise it high
enough that the dyking would then
be a small matter. This would
cover up all the soggy logs, fill up
all the tide holes and sloughs, bury
the grass and tulles, and leave the
land thus created ready for cultiva-
ton. A result that would offset
any objections whatever to this plan.
And the land thus filled in, becomes
permanent producer, with no
further fear of high tides or over
flows, or breaking dykes and extern
sive repairs.
The expense of filling in the land
has been estimated at about $25
per foot per acre. That is, to raise
the land 3 feet would cost about
$75 per acre, possiblyjless. A heavy
expense but one that the results
would justify, as the fine silt and
decomposed vegetation that would
be brought up from the bottom Of
the bays and sloughs and made in
to tillable land would be practically
inexhaustible as to fertility.
A few years ago a number of tests
were made Of sugar beets grown on
the tide lands of Lincoln county,
with astonishing results, as the
beets were found by analysis to con-
tain 16H per cent of sugar, with a
production of from 40 to 80 tons
per acre. This would mean an in
come of at least 5000 per acre every
year. In truck raising, and especi.
ally celery, the first crop would
fully repay the cost of filling in OF
the land, and as hay land or pastur.
age it would create more wealth fol-
Lincoln county than any other one
of its vast resources.
