ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 25.-With
more than score of witnesses on hand
TO testify and with Thomas Goodwin,
paying teller of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company identifying checks and
deposit slips used by the governor in
connection with his personal bank ac-
count, the impeachment trial of Cover
nor William Sulzer was resumed today
The big fight was centered on whether
there had been any restrictions placed
nv any of those who furnished him with
funds on the way they were to be used
Opponents OF the governor have openly
asserted that ne would have to face
criminal prosecution for his acts.
Perjury and larceny have been famil-
lar words ever since the proceedings
were opened. But D. Cady Herrick Of
Suffers counsel, positively asserted
with the resumption of the trial today
that they would demonstrate beyond
the shadow Of doubt that criminality
had never entered into the intentions OF
the executive and that if he had made
mistakes they had been Of a nature ca

was doubt that a quorum of that
body would be on hand. Most of the
members have insisted that any
amendment of the impeachment al
legations would be a sign Of weak
ness. They have insisted to the lead
ers that the lower house stand or
fall by the charges as originally
drawn. And it seemed certain today
that many of them would remain at

remaining $4,000 worth Of bonds by
November, at the same price. The
finance committee adjourned until
this evening, when IL will meet and
award the contract TO the Savings So

The question of whether il was reall
necessary to sell 100000 of the bond

is needed before the Savings Fund take

State Capitol Land Ruling

When the stand of timber on lands
of the state capitol grant exceeds l.
100000 feet to the quarter section it
lies within the discretion of the state
land board to either sell the timber
separately or with the land, the attor-
ney generals Office ruled recently in
an opinion furnished the state land
commissioner. Continuing, the opin-
ion holds that if timber and land are
sold together the entire purchase price
need not be paid at the time of sale,
provided the timber is fully paid for
before it is removed from the land.
These rulings are expected to aid
greatly in the disposition Of lands of
the state capitol grant and it is hoped
they will expedite wiping out the in
debtedness of the capitol building fund,
now in excess of $1,000,000.

Secretary Lane Seeks to Aid Bona
Eide Settler

I'VE ought to make it just as easy
as possible for man to get home,
and just as hard as possible for spec
ulator to get hold of the public land
and hold up the man who wants to get
home"
That is the conservation policy of
the Wilson administration, as enun-
ciated recently by Franklin K. Lane,
secretary of the interior, who is in
specting the proposed reclamation en-
terprises of the Deschutes country.
THE trouble is that it is hard to
distinguish the homemaker," contin-
ued Mr.. Lane, speaking to the group
of Portland democrats who, with a
number of persons interested in the
public land policy, welcomed him at
his headquarters at the Oregon hotel.
We do want to weed out the specu-
lator, the man who is hired by the big
timber companies to locate the land
and then relinquish, and all others who
are not bona fde settlers" said Mr..
Lane.
1t is the same with reclamation
projects as it is with the administra-
ton of the homestead laws" he as
serted. 1--WE find that we have the
Spectator to contend with. Every
reclamation project, virtually, comes
to the government as bankrupt prop
osition. Reclamation bonds are drug
on the market. Investors have bit
and been bitten, and they want no
more OF them. So when the govern
ment takes hold of a project it finds
that a part of the land, or much of it,
often 40 to so per cent, is privately
owned.
The Spectator participates in the
benefits of the project, and then
boosts the price of his land to 500 or
5000 an acre. How to eliminate him
is our great problem. We don't want
him at all, but we can't tell who he is
until we have him on our hands. We
would have to look into a mans very
soul to tell"
why not extend the time of pay
ment for reclamation benefits to bona
fide land users, and decrease the time
for those who do not use the land,
but merely pay for the water to hold
the land for speculation" asked J.
w. Brewer, of Redmond, vice presi-
dent of the Central Oregon Develop
ment league.
"A very good idea," remarked Sec
rotary Lane, asking Mr.. Brewer to out
line it further.
Il think proof of cultivation should
be required every year," said Mr..
Brewer, that the period of payments
should be extended to IS years, with
the first five years free, and that the
water benefits should be withheld after
the land has not been cultivated for
three years.

past year, he being affected with
Bright's disease. He bore up well for
a long time and was up until a short
while before he passed away. 1t was
not realized that the end was so near.
Every possible medical aid was rem
dered but to no purpose. The summons
came and he yielded.

friends are numbered by the hundred

lily
A loved one from us has gone,
A voice we loved so well;
A place is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be filled.

In looking over the Health Bull
letin issued by the State Board of
Health, it is seen that in Decem.
Der 1912 there were 81 deaths in
Noxubee, 3 of which were of whites
and "a of blacks. The death rate
for whites was ~ per cent, for
blacks 1863 per cent; for the coun.
ty 15.4 per cent.
There were 40 babies born in
Noxubec in December, % boys and
Is OF the contrary sex. The birth
rate was 1864 per cent. At that
rate NoXubee ought to double in
population in six years. The
white babies were three girls and
3 boys. The negroes 10 boys and
10 girls. The birth rate among
the whites was 15la per cent /;
among the negroes 10 per cent.
All these per centages are figured
