THINK THEY HAVE
TWO CLEVER BURGLARS

Deputy Sheriff Esch returned last
evening from Woodburn with VIM.
Wood and Roscoe L. Ogden in GUS
tody and in their arrest the officials
believe they have succeeded in ap-
pretending a couple of clever bur-
glars.
During the last couple of months
The Yates home, the Simmons home
the Shedeick home and the home OF
Romaine have all been burglarized
and the circumstances all point to
the men under arrest as the guilty
parties. Sheriff Mimic and his depu-
ties are gathering evidence with re-
lation to these burglaries and expect
to weave a web which will connect
the men with all of them.

Madrid, Sept, 19.-Brought about
by condition which makes mere eX-

struggle, the situation here is becom-

the attitude of the government, the
masses are rising in general revolt,
and today the very throne of Spain
is endangered.
The cabinet is in constant consul
tation with the king, who has issued
orders that the uprising be sup
pressed with an iron hand.

tive everywhere in the kingdom by

of whom were fatally injured. The

The state fair flower show was
one of the really big things at Sa-
lem during the past week, and means
great deal for the future Of the
Capital City. The amateur display
was superior to any former exhibition
and showed the ability to maintain
blooms through long, dry summer.
The Professional Exhibit.
This class must not be confused
with the state insane asylum show
made by Florist Hamilton, which
was a flower show in itself. The
commercial florists were headed by
the Routledge Seed company, of
Portland, which put up a $500 dis
play of cut flowers and plants. Their

countries including varieties never

WARNER VALLEY STOCK COM.
PANY ACCEPTS STATES TERMS
AND THE STATE GETS 5000
ACRES OF THE LANDS RE-
TURNED.

When the Warner Valley Stock
company yesterday afternoon agreed
In addition to its other offers of COM
promise to pay the $1,000 paid the
late VIM. Lord as special council In
cases prosecuted against the COM
pany by the state, there came to an
end the famous controversy which
has been waged between the COM
pany and settlers in Lake county
over swamp lands, and in which CON
troversy the state in the last few
years took a hand.
After the settlers had waged suits
in the land department and courts
against the company and lost, the
state took a hand about six years
ago, and brought a suit to have the
title to certain of the lands taken by
the company under the swamp land
law cancelled on the ground of
fraud. 1t was partially successful
wv ''N NDlllpihF DlOHtNNltu IN dD-
peal to the supreme court In the
mean time the company offered to
compromise by paying the costs of
the suits and deciding to the state and
settlers all the lands directed can
celled by the supreme court. about
5000 acres in all The state agreed
to accept the compromise ON condi-
ton that the company in addition to
paying the costs of the suits amount
ing to about $1,000 that it also pay
the $1,000 paid out by the state for
special counsel fees. The company
at first demurred but finally agreed
to accept the condition.
The dispute over these lands be-
gan about 20 years ago when Swamp
Angel owen appropriated them un-
der the swamp land laws. He began
proceedings to oust the settlers, and
they fought 1t in the land office, in
the courts and in the state legisla-
lures. Finally they appealed to the
