Oren G. Savage, a prominent pio-
neer farmer of Polk county, for many
years resident Of Eola, died early
this month near Los Angeles, whittier
he had gone last Fall for the benefit
of his health. His death was due to
pneumonia, a strange epidemic of
which has wiped out practically the
entire pioneer family within a single
year. His elder brother, Alfred Saw
age, died but few days before him
from the same disease and another
brother, Lewis Savage, is lying so
near death at his home in Salem, that
he has not yet been told Of the sad
occurrance in California, which has
taken from him two of his nearest
relatives. To add to the seeming
mysterious fatality that is pursuing
the family, comes the news that
Simms Connolly, half-brother Of
Lewis Savage, succumbed to an
attack of pneumonia at his home in
Palouse, Washington, last month.
Alfred Savage was rs years of age at
the time of his death and Oren Savage
was IS years of age. Mr.. Connolly
was about SO years old.

Company H Chooses Lieutenant Boil.
man Captain-Major Hamlin
Holds Inspection.

Lieutenant L. A. Bollman, who has
had charge OF Company H, since
Captain Chorpening was obliged to
move to Eugene, was elected to the
captaincy of the company Thursday
night, receiving large majority Of
the votes cast. Mr.. Bollman has won
the respect and admiration o. every
member of the company during the
time Of his lieutenancy and the feel
ing of the men toward him was clearly
manifested by the unstiDted applause
with which they received the announce
ment of the result of the election.
The election was held by Captain
Meade, of Company F, who had come
up from McMinnville for that purpose.
After the election, Captain Meade
made short address to the members
of the company, complimenting them
on their work heretofore, giving them
best wishes for the future and extend
ing to them hearty invitation from
the members OF his company IN NC
Minnville to visit them in their city
and attend any Of the social functions
given under their auspices.
On Friday, the following evening,
Mayor Hamlin, of Portland, held an
inspection Of the company, the men
being fully equipped and in heavy
marching order. The members had
expected, and had prepared for the
Annual Inspection, but Friday nights
inspection proved to be only prelim-
mary, designed to put the men in per-
feet preparation for the real Annual
Inspection which is to be held Friday
night, February s.
Major Hamlin professed himself
we'll pleased with the discipline of the
company and the general condition OF
Its equipment and gave the officers
and men a number of valuable sug-
gestions for the work Of preparing
themselves to the best advantage for
the Annual Inspection.

WILL APPROVE SURVEYS
Matter of the Government Lands in
7-9 and SO May Soon Be
Settled,

Polk county citizens who have taken
claims in the unsurveyed tracts OF
government land in 7-9 and 60 are
watching with anxiety every move
taken by the government in the matter
OF these lands. A report in the Tele-
gram, which follows, indicates that a
settlement of the matter is not far off
Approval of the surveys Of the re-
naming portions of the former Siletz
Indian reservation are expected to be
made very soon, according to private
advices received recently from the
general land Office. One full town
ship and two half townships are
embraced in these contracts, the sur
veys were made some time ago, and
the field notes and other necessary
data transmitted to the commissioner
of the general land office by the United
States Surveyor-G General with a recon-
mendation that the surveys be ac-
cepted.
'These unsurveyed lands include all
Of township south, range west, and
the south half of township 6 south
range 10 west. They are situated in
the extreme northern part OF Lincoln
county, and contain some Of the finest
timber in that region. Under spec
ial act Of congress passed August Is,
1894, 1t was provided that title to all
the lands embraced in the former
Siletz Indian reservation could only
be acquired under special home
stead law, requiring three years
actual settlement and cultivation.
'"The Siletz lands have lately at
tracted great deal of attention by
virtue of their enormously rich
resources in timber, and in conse-
quence it is not believed there is any
vacant government land left within
its confines. In fact it is claimed that
the townships hitherto unsurveyed
are covered with settlers cabins, and
under the provisions Of the homestead
laws they will be preferred purchasers
for period of 80 days after the
approyal of the suryey.'

have never taken Hestern seriously in
this connection. 1t looks to me like the
desire to a sample match maker to
have his name associated with the
elders of the game and nothing more.
. The solid men of business are of a
certainty Coffroth, Gleason and Nc
Carey. Coffroth Is a walking compen-
dunn of facts and figures in the fight
game.
He knows how to direct and how to
advertise, and the comfort OF his pat
rons is always the first consideration
with him. He is beyond argument the
worlds leading promoter in the pugil-
istic line. IL he HASN'T to do with the
pulling OFF the Jeffries- johnson mill it
will be safe wager that whoever
gets 1t will pay more for it than it is
worth.
Jack Gleason is another who has
good ideas of fight management, and
who, in the present instance, made all
his arrangements for a ring site and
backing before announcing himself a
contender for the coveted card. Glea-
son intends to build his arena at Ocean
View, across the bay from San Fran
cisco.
Jack has had good experience in
handling Independent contests He it
was who stepped in and grabbed
Young Corbett and Jimmy Britt while
other local promoters were reluctant
to come to Corbett's terms and later he
put Britt and Joe Cans in the ring in
the presence of vast crowd at the San
Francisco baseball grounds.
These were not by any means the
only important contests he directed and
all things considered he may be looked
upon as Coffroth's most formidable
rival in bidding for the Jeffries- John
son match.
Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, may
upset all calculations when the eleventh
hour arrives. 1t Is reported that Tom
has been quietly at work bespeaking
subscriptions from the Los Angeles
business men, and If he had secured
even 5000 from this source, 1t means
that he will be in a position 70 bid $780,
900 more than If left to his own re-
sources.
But never a one OF. theme offroth,
Gleason or McCarey-is showing his
hand and this makes the situation all
the more interesting to watch. That
one of them will land Jeffries' and
Johnson is almost hxed idea at this
end of the line.
