would have done more to stop the

OF a president of the nation, or by our

this country needs is little more

nruned of a surplus and useless mass
of technjcality behind which hide all
kinds of criminals, from the inhuen-
tial rich to the lowest poor. The farce
of the age is the criminal code and

the locality of the lands and he pro-
ceeded to. lay a careful plan for suit.
1t was necessary to have abstracts of
all the mineral lands titles particularly
to patent to 100000 acres and including
valuable oil lands in the Coalinga dis
trict
That the government is taking an in
terest in this matter cannot be better
proven than by its selection of Town
send as the special prosecutor.
1t has been alleged by the railroad
that if the government is right regard
ing the mineral clause in the California
patents, litigation will never end, and
that title never will be secured. The
government replies that under suit to
identify these lands the definition of
government lands is conclusive.

HEADLEY WRITES OF
THE POLITICAL FAILURES

! shoulder to shoulder with us in non
PARTISAN, local option campaign, bu
when the great November battle
comes, with few exceptions they
join the ranks of the enemy and
shoot down with their ballots the only
men and the only party that stands
unequivocally and uncompromislngly
against the rum power and its attend
ant evils, as well as for many other
vital and much needed reforms. Mani
testify a man cannot be reformed by
encouraging him in his evil practices,
neither can a political pafty be reform
ed by continuing to support it in
wrong doing. Mr.. Bakers splendid
tribute to Lincoln is worthy of note.
He says: Never for moment did
he lose sight Of the eternal principles
of right. Expediency and time had no
How inexpressibly cheap the jargon
OF some present-day would-be leaders
sounds when compared with the etern
al verities uttered and subscribed to by
men like Lincoln and Washington
statesmen who buried their own city
ambitions in the larger welfare Of the
whole people Their abiding fame
rests upon the fact that they did not
go about lodging moral issues until
others had made them popular" Know
ing as we do Lincolns position on this
great moral as well as financial issue
of the liquor evil, does anyone believe
for a moment that, if living now, he
would silently ignore it as do our
present-day near great" political
leaders, or that he would continue to
support a party so dominated by this
gigantic evil trust as to defy the will
of the people of this government?
The great absorbing question now is,
what are you going to do about it in
the coming campaign? We common
people may not sway a nation or mould
it's character as did Lincoln, but, with
him, standing for the right as God
shall give us to see the right" we
may contribute our share to the sum
total of human happiness and in some
measure alleviate its miseries.

Preacher COnfesses Perjury.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 26.-Con-

of perjury, which he says he commit
ed fifteen years ago at Rome, Ga, in
suing his wife for divorce, G. w.
Thomas, preacher of Portland, Ore,
has written to Governor Brown that
he is ready to come back to Georgia

Thomas says that he loved another

If brass band is a good thing for
town, and it is, then why should the
town not support it? By this we mean,
not a few merchants, but all the peo-
pie of the town. The Moscow band
should be supported by taxation. The
city council should provide for this
just as it provides for the police de-
partment, the street department and
the city water department. Either this
or give up the band and quit. If the
people are not willing to support the
band then Moscow merchants should
not be expected to carry the burden.

Heart Thr0bs Watched.

The diseased tissue were exposed at
the same time so as to enable the
surgeons to remove them. While this
was being accomplished those not ac-
tually engaged in the operation had
ample opportunity to see human
heart at work; and it is needless to
say the throbbing of the organ was
keenly watched
In closing the incision a supplement-
airy phase of the work consisted in
applying tissue transferred in part
from the surfaces adjoining the incis-
ion so that the aperture was closed
when the surgeons had finished.
Mrs. Engleman came out of the in
f1uence of the anaesthetic and her con-
dition was such that the surgeons felt
confident last night of her complete
recovery.

GOVERNMENT WILL
SUE FOR LAND

WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.-Within 80
days the government will begin suit
for mineral lands on the Pacific coast
valued at $1,OOO,0O0,0OO The defend
ants will be the Southern Pacific Rail
way company and the Kern Oil & Trad
ing company, subsidiary of the rail-
road company.
The government has been preparing
for this suit for a year. The railroad
has been preparing for it for forty
years.
Under the act approved July 27, 1866,
the Southern Pacific was granted
large quantity of land in Califo. mia.
Congress excepted mineral lands from
the grant. The department Of the in
terror carried this exception into the
patents.
1t is the purpose of the government
now to institute suit to enforce this ex-
ception and establish title of the United
States to such of the lands.
1t is probable that between 125,O00
and 100000 acres of land will ultimate
ly be involved in this litigation, and
it's value is believed to be between
$4,000 and $1,000 an acre. The suit will
involve most of the railroad holdings
in the vicinity of Coalinga.

WATCH HUMAN
HEART PERFORM

NEW YORK, Mar. Watching an
lungs perform their functions of main
tanning life, a group of surgeons bent
over the body of woman in the
amphitheater of Bellevue hospital and
observed events for twenty minutes,
while the combined efforts of science
and nature won triumph over death.
The triumph was described as all the
greater because nature was assisted by
a humanity devised continuance which
was tried for the first time in this city
/ 1t is known as the Ellsberg appar-
atus. 1t forces air into the lungs and
withdraws it, thus maintaining an arti-
| fetal respiration in a patient inca
pacitated from breathing.
Mrs. Elizabeth Engleman, aged 81, of
1T Avenue B, was the medium for the
experiment. She was admitted to the
hospital on March IA, suffering from
recurrent cancer. Because of an OPP
Grafton performed nine years ago the
surgeons were reluctant to repeat the
work
Mrs. Engleman was told of the crisis
confronting her and eagerly consented
to an operation. Because of the ex-
detrimental value of the demonstration
with the Ellsberg apparatus invita-
lions to witness it was accepted by
several prominent physicians.
1t was necessary to make an incision
which exposed the heart and the left
lung. AS much of four ribs as covered
the heart and lung was removed, leav-
ing the vital organs absolutely expos
ed to the gaze of the assembled sur
geons.
Lungs Kept Active.
Because of the removal of the sup |
port furnished by the ribs the lung
would have collapsed without artificial |
assistance. This was supplied by the
apparatus, which is electrical
ly equipped to supply air in the re-
quisite quantity and at the resquisite
pressure. The air was supplied to the
lung through woven silk tube which
was placed in the patients mouth and

DIETRICH UPHOLDS
REFEREES DECISION

B. T. Byrns and Fred Veatch of this
city, referees in the case of W. w
Terrell VS.. the Washington Water
! Power company, have been upheld in
their decision as to the value of the
overlooked lands which were flooded
by the company's dam.
Judge Dietrich found that the ref
erees, James e. Clyde of Wallace and
Bayard r. Bryns and Fred Veatch of
! Moscow, had interviewed 100 wit
nesses, read 1000 pages of tes-
timony and examined the ground
themselves before they attempted to
arrive at the actual value of the land
involved in the contest.
The settlers whose ground was over
flowed by the construction of the dam
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany believed that their property was
worth at least 100000. When the ref
erees refused to give more than 1884,,
600 they were aroused, and carried
their case into the court. The at
torneys for the settlers asked that the
court set aside the award on the
grounds of prejudice and the reg
ular legal grounds for such an appeal.
The suits of the company against
Charles Waters and others and against
John L. Ferguson and others brought
the question into court.
No Ground for Complaint.
In refusing to have anything to do
with the proposition after having gone
into the records thoroughly the court
held:
1T is unfortunate that in deprivng
an owner of his property for a public
use there is no way of determining
with precision the just compensation
TO which he is entitled, but there being
no exact measure of absolute standard
the tribunals charged with the respon-
sibility of fixing such compensation
must do the best they can, and that
having been done there is no just
ground for complaint.
q am satisfied that the referees con-
exercised their best judg- |
ment, and their findings having sub |
stantial basis in the evidence | am not |
to disturb them. They will, |
therefore, be approved, and judgments
will be entered accordingly"
