CAPTAIN SCOTS STORY.

Captain Scott sends to the world
from the icy wilds OF the Antarctic a
very interesting story. He has evil
IDENTIFY had much harder road 10
travel than Amundsen had, and is not
making the progress expected. His
story tells of perils, Of broken ice foes
and of hair breadth escapes He has
evidently fallen into even worse lines
than Lieutenant Shackleton did III his
map making expedition toward the
South Pole.
Interesting as Captain Scott 5 mar
rativc is. however, it was largely AN
tieipated by the story sent by Amund
sen, and the reading OF il was in
way, forestalled. IL is sort Of sec
ond edition of the story Of Antarctic
dangers which we have recently had
from Amundsen. Above ALL il is the
stcry Of a man who, up TO the telling
had been unsuccessful in his quest.
Therefore. the interest IN il j. much
icssened as compared with Amundsen s
story, which was tale of triumphant

Amundsen, and in losing the great

now beginning in that part Of the
world. When he comes out he will
have a great story 10 tell, story
which will also be q story Of success,
OF physical trials, and OF enduring
pluck and perseverance, Great things
are vet TO be had from Captain Scott,
and the world will await with anxiety
to hear some time next winter just

oBsTRuoTINa MINE PATENTS

The Tribune prints this morning a
matter Of very great interest to min.
ing men, concerning the ruling of the
Department of the Interior with re.
spect TO obtaining patents on mining
claims. 1t appears from this ruling
that it is no longer sufficient for IA
miner to find the lode in place. make
his actual discovery, stake out his
claim. enter up his record, and estab.
lish the fact that II is n mining loca.
ton. and do the $500 worth of work
which patenting requires He must, in
addition, before he can get his patent,
do sufficient work TO convince some
clerk in Washington who may know
nothing whatever about mining, that
there is, in fact, productive mine
there, and one in which orc goes to the
depths. According to this ruling. a
miner might get claim, work il 10 a
thousand feet in depth, showing ore all
the way. and yet. il the development
and product did not satisfy some gen
tleman in Washington that there was
ore clear to the center of the earth,
the patent might still be refused.
II is most extraordinary change
from the salutarv and practical rules
that have guided the department in
the past in issuing mining patents. 1t
throws the whole matter into uncer-
taiuty. and makes the issne of patent
~ stah arF
or series OF facts. but upon satisfying
the oninion of some one who may or
may not know. or who may or may not
be honest and intelligent in passing
upon the application for patent.
1t is a clear case that if the Depart
meut continues in the same frame OF
mind as this throwing the whole mat
ter Of getting patents for mines into
uncertainty and confusion, it will be
necessary for Congress to pass positive
legislation restoring the old conditions.
II would be quite impossible under
this ruling, for a prospector without
much money TO ever get patent on
a mine, for he would probably be un-
able to convince the desk man in
Washington that he had a mine with
the development which he might be
able TO make.
The conservation fad appears TO be
for this change OF ruling in
The department with respect to the
holding MP of patents, aud we trust
that as soon as the members of Con
rress from the mining States find out
what the department is doing in this
matter. they will move as a body upon
he General Land Office and insist
irou the restoration Of the old sound
conditions which gave definite and pos
tive data upon which to found a claim
If mineral discovery and an appllca |
ion for a patent.
This sort Of thing tends TO discour-
cement, and hindrance to the making |
IF new discoveries. 1t shuts off the
procuring of patents, and compels the |
inder Of mine TO depend. not upon !
my known points of proof, but 10 de
,end altogether on the uncertain opin
on Of somebody who may be open to
or who may be entirely i'm
,ervious TO any kind of argument. A
bange is imperstiyely needed from
his ruling, and we trust that the mem
,ers Of Congress from the West will |
INSIST upon having it, if in no other
way than by positive legislation. For |
he case is urgent, and demands imme
late attention.

Judge John C. Pugh
For Judge of Circuit Court

Judge John c. Pugh will be no experiment. on the bench-hs disposition and educational train ing peculiarly fit him for Judge of the Circuit Court.
 His experience on the bench has demonstrated his endowment by nature with happy, even-tem- pered disposition; and by education and legal training with an unbiased broad understanding of the law These have been tested by trial and the verdict is voluntary indorsement by an over whelming majority of the bar-the highest testi- monia of his judicial qualities
 He is indorsed by no special class or interest, he is not hampered by promises as to his conduct on the bench, he is not prejudced in favor of nor against any class, interest association or indi- vidual- in his court all parties are accorded most courteous consideration, equal and even-handed justice, without fear or favor.
 As iswell known he disposes of cases with that speed commensurate with proper regard to justice and interests involved as is shown by the large number of cases disposed of by the Circuit Court.
 Judicial positions should be filled by men oos- sessed of known qualities age and expert ce, fitting them for proper discharge of the gys.ve duties of the office, and voters should be mind ful of the serious responsibility of casting bal lot for judge.

WEATHERBY GIVES ' HIS ENDORSEMENT Was Greatly Surprised at Re-
 suits Obtained
 FEELS LIKE A NEW MAN
Had About Concluded That There Was No Help, When His Attention Was
 Called to New Product

MT. J. c. Weatherby, Brown & Mort building, city, employed as bookkeeper, has the following to say of "Tona Vita" the medicine that is now being introduced in Birmingham at the Collier Drug com- pany. MT. Weatherby said: .'I was so constipated I could hardly ina any iaxa- tive that would respond to my case. Was affected with poor circulation and indi- gestion in it's very worst form for TWO years. I was compelled to live on eggs soup and crackers, and could sleep only two hours in whole night for weeks. had just about come to the conclusion that nothing would help me or do me any good, when that wonderful medicine, Tona Vita was called to my attention. have now taken two bottles and have gained five and one-half pounds, and am in the best of health. My work is no longer a burden. and I can eat what l want, getting proper nourishment from my food. I cannot say too much in praise of 'Tona Vita.
 The representatives who are introducing ''Tona Vita in Birmingham are giving demonstrations of what the medicine will do in five minutes. All day long they meet callers at the store where they are located and try to produce a noticeable improvement in all cases of nervous de- blity within five minutes, the people who take the medicine to be the judge There is no charge for this demonstration and several hundred people tried the experi- ment recently without a single failure.
 One of the representatives said: 'Tona Vita will break all records in Birmingham. People are just beginning to realize what a great preparation it is. We are instructed by our company to take no money for the tonic unless the medicine proves satisfactory. Thousands upon thousands in this and other large cities are afflicted with general debility caused by metropolitan life. The entire system becomes affected in such cases and nervousness. stomach trouble, head aches, backaehes, despondency and loss of vitality result. 'Tona Vita In remarkably short time If it doesn't we want nothing from those who wish to try it other than the time it takes to come and get the medicine"
 The representatives will be at the Col, Her Drug company, 109-111 North Twen- tieth street, from 9 a. m. to D. m to meet all callers and explain this new preparation.
 The sale of this new medicine is now the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in Portland, and each succeeding day marks an increase of interest. "Tona Vita" is proving a complete revelation to the thou sands of half sick, run down, listless men and women in the city who did not knew exactly what was the matter with them. It would be worthy anybody's time to visit the Collier Drug company's store. the exclusive agents for Birmingham, and inspect the large number of testimonials from those who have been benefited by the new tonic and who have undoubted faith in it as a remedy of unusual value.

Several of the ladies stated today that not only was the food insuf- ficient and of a decidedly repulsive Char acrer but that their only attendant was a negro man, who had access 10 their rooms and who gave them all the treat ment they received at the hospital
 According to these patients, the physi- clans never gave them the slightest at tention, contenting themselves by simply going through the place and looking at the patients. One lady says that she was compelled to cut her own wood or go without: that for several days, owing to lack of oil, there was no light at night, and that use of the telephone was pro- hibited to patients who might desire to make complaint.
