Miners Are Forced to Fight For
PrOnertieS.

Gold Hill, Ore, April 10.-Title
to a quarter section on Sardine
creek, near this city, will be deter
mined at a hearing of the contest
ants before United States Commits
sioner w. H. Canon at Medford, on
April 21. The land comprises the
Haff group of quartz claims, oper-
ated by George L. Haff of this city
Upward of 100000 has been spent
by Haff and his associates in the pur-
chase an Improvement of the claims,
several of which are said to be un-
usually fine mining properties.
Early in 1907 while Haff was ac-
lively engaged in the operation OF
these claims, the quarter was filed
upon as a timber claim by Peter P.
Lang of Kootenai county, Idaho. A
contest was instituted by the miners,
the land office at Roseburg deciding
in favor of the timber applicant
Various appeals eventually brought
the case to the direct attention Of
the secretary of the interior, who
directed that the land commissioner
at Washington take steps to settle
the case permanently. 1t was
charged at the time that Lang made
certain misrepresentation in his ap-
plication to the department, whereby
he from time to time secured a con-
tinuance of the case. A number of
witnesses from this city, who will
testify to the mineral character of
the land, have been subpoenaed.

When Ashland Citizens Show a Way.

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders. the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail to
heed the words of neighbor who
has found relief. Read what an Ash
land citizen says:
Hubert Dyer, II Pine street, Ash
land, Ore, says: For three months
1 was in agony from kidney trouble
and rheumatic pains. l had to pass
the kidney secretions too frequently.
I was obliged to get up at all times
of the night. Pains, sharp and sud-
den, darted from my back into my
shoulders and limbs. l had severe
headaches, my appetite failed and
was in bad shape. l also noticed that
if the kidney secretions were left
standing they deposited a sediment
l used plasters and many remedies
but nothing helped me until l took
Doan's Kidney Pills. l improved
from the first and is wasn't long
before l was well, without sign OF
kidney trouble or rheumatic pain
My appetite picked up and felt bet
ter in every way"

of the hope that the lost Kingdom
may one day be regained. The wo-
mems dress is somewhat like the
mems, but for holidays or feast days
they wear a sleeveless jacket of vel
vet, on their heads they wear an un-
adorned round red and black cap, or
if married a black veil. The chill
dren, boys and girls, are good looking,
but the men retain their good looks
into old age while the women soon
become coarsened and aged owing to
the hard life they lead and the work
expected of them. Our native guide
assured US that his country was highly
civilized for the men are all soldiers
and enjoy life and the women do all
the work. Certainly we saw men
idling and women laboring in house
and field, tending the flocks and car
rying the burdens, but the same spirit
of freedom animates both sexes and
dare to say that mothers, wives and
sweethearts are now sending their
loved ones to the front in the Spartan
of old, and even joining the ranks
themselves and fighting side by side
with the men, so dear to them is the
land of the Black Mountains. -Ex

Breeding saved Howard Hyland, g.
year-old son of John R. Hyland, from
electrocution last Thursday night.
The boy had become entangled in a
falling electric wire, which knocked
him to the ground. His cries were
heard by Breeding who rushed to his
telephone and told the superintend-
ent of the electric light plant of the
circumstances. The current was
quickly shut off, saving the boys
life. At the time of the accident the
plant had the house current only
turned on, but the employees were in
the act of turning on the full town
current, which would have meant in
stant death, when they got Breeding S
call. When rescued the boys hands
were horribly burned and his right
side paralyzed, but he will recover.
