Land Grants May Be In

Further litigation that may keep
both the Coos Bay and Oregon q Cali
fornia grant lands In the courts for
years 10 threatened M result OF the
decree handed down In the United
States court at Portland BY Judge
wolyerton In the case Of the govern
ment against the Southern Oregon
company.
The court held. In this decree. that
the grantees of the land are entitled
10 a value OF $3.50 an acre and no
more. Attorney for the defendants
gave notice Of appeal. A similar de-
cree, with substantially the same pro-
visions, has been prepared by Constan-
tine ]. Smyth. special assistant 70 the
attorney general OF the United States.
In tho Oregon & California case, which
decree will be submitted to Judge
Wolverton.
Attorneys for the Southern Paciiic
company, who contend that they, as
present holders Of the Oregon 4 Cali
fornia lands, own the timber, coal,
minerals and other natural resources,
a. well 40 their value Of $3.50 an
acre, will contest this view Of the
case.
II the court accepts the contentious
Of the United States attorney, ss 1t
did In the Southern Oregon case, It IL
probable that the Southern Pacific at
torneys will prepare an appeal.
Both these appeals must 60 TO the
United States Circuit court Of APP
peals, from which It will be possible
to appeal to the United States Sn-
preme court. Thus Il is possible that
the lands win be held In litigation for
q long period.
The decree signed by Judge Wolver-
ton enjoins the Southern Oregon COM
pany from selling any Of the timber on
the Coos Bay wagon road lands, "or
any minerals or other deposits thereon.
except as part OF or in conjunction
with the land on which the timber
stands or In which the mineral or other
deposits are found, and from cutting
or removal Of any Of the timber there
on, or from removing or authorizing
the removal Of mineral or other depos-
It's therein, excepting In conjunction
with the sale Of the land bearing the
timber or containing the mineral. "
The defendants are further enioined
from the sale Of the land and its re-
sources until congress shall have had

to take passage for the U ited stata many coming from Cork which is not much more than an hor-'ss ride by <, train It is.in the evenings before the steamers sail that the largest number o1 people are in Queenstown. Just now there are a large number of vis- tors there whose presence is due to the excitement attendant upon. the bringing in of the bodies of those who were drowned when .he Lusitania went down. The. Beach, the name of the street on which the Cunard and other steamship lines have their os- fees and docks, is generally crowded with people who remain walking up and down watching for the arrival Of hangs over the city ~rG the usual jollity on the Beach of an evening is notably absent and instead there is continual buzz of conversation among the crowd concerning the great sea catastrophe and watching eagerly as if the waves were expected every minute to wash ashore tn bodies of the dead. The passenger station far ther up the street is generally crowded and as the people pass up and down many anxious eyes are cast at the American flag that floats from a win dow where the office of the consul IS located. It will be mauy years before Queenstown forgets tn, e. erience of the past few days.

BUTTERMILK's ECLIPSE.

The news that many dairymen op- pose the old fashioned buttermilk be- cause it is too unstable to be handled to commercial advantage shocks Us less profoundly, grieves us less poig- nantly than similar intelligence would have done in the days when, under the auspices of the Hon. Charles War ren Fairbanks, then vice president of the United States, that sturdy drink was attaining enninence as a national beverage. .--New York Press.
 The demand for milk straight and milk shakes is so great nowadays and there are so, many uses to which cream can be and is put that the farmer does not do as much churn- ing as he used to and the. result is so in the days when MT. Fairbanks was vice president because then the family milk man sent can daily to Washington from Indiana and the tall gentleman who presided over the sen ate was able to take long and deep
 draughts from it, thereby retaining his youthful complexion and a dis position that was never unruffled, even when the long and etimes annoying messages came from Theo-
 dore at the other end of the avenue.
 MT. Fairbanks knew how to drink buttermi1k; he knew when he had enough. There was only one relapse and that was when the vile tongue of islander said that he discarded the only real Indiana drink for the more in- viting and sparkling beverage known to all statesmen as the Washington
 cocktail. Buttermilk died natural death after that and there were no mourners. Why bring up the question now? Buttermilk is not the national beverage at present; it is not even of that color, but the effect is the samo. Another reason for it's lack of popu- larity is that the price has risen to eight cents a quart. That is enough to make any one except a confirmed

PETITIONS FOR FRANK.

Whether Leo M. Frank is guilty or not or the murder of Mary Phagan. IofgsWilch he is now under sentence of death, the time being set for June 22, he seems to have made an inn pression on large portion of the people of this country that he is inno- cent. There has been a great deal of talk to the effect that he was not given fair trial, but it seems strange that if this was so that he should have met with so many other .unfavora ble decisions from other courts to which his case was taken in one form or an- other. His counsel has been beaten at every turn and now it is proposed to obtain signatures to monster peti- ton to be presented to the prison committee of Georgia and also to the governor asking that his sentence be -commuted to imprisonment for life. The petitions so far received have weighed seventy-f1ve pounds and to this has been added some 25,oOo let ters, and at a mass meeting to be held in Chicago Sunday it is being planned to obtain 100, 900 signatures to petitions. Whether all this effort will have any value remains to be seen.
 There is no mistaking the fact that there is quite a sentiment in favor of Frank and if he escapes death for the murder of the little girl it will be more out of sympathy than because of evidence that he. is innocent. He makes the claim of innocence himself, but the testimony given in court is against him and all the efforts of his counsel have been unable to break it down. The sentiment in the south is very strong against crimes against women and children and when a man is arrested for such an offense as a rule not much time is wasted upon him. It may be that the petitions will save Frank from the death penalty, but just now there is no evidence in Georgia that any attention will be given to them.

Value of Bank
 Service.

A keen business man once re marked if he had only one dollar in the world he would deposit 75 cents of it in the bank and live on the other quarter until he could earn another 75 cents.
 A man of such discernment l nd determination probably would not be long in earning a second = cents and upon it pile one deposit after another until he was on the road to riches. The high cos@ of living would have no terror for him.
 Although they may not started in exactly the same extremity most successful business men men have proceeded on the same principle in getting to the front. Also they have early come to an appreciation of the value of a banking institution that helps shem, by intelligent co operation to save more than actual money They welcome the service of bank which through careful at tention as detail and to the indi yidual needs needs oi custom CTS save business men anxiety and friction in the daily routil e of business

To the Members of Alpha Camp No l3309 Modeern Woodmen
 of America
Resolution

Death has again entered our Camp and taken away our neigh DOT, James K. Johnson.
 Neighbor Johnson was born at Hoblo. Denmaf Feb. 25, 1887. Came to America in 1891, locat ing in the state of Wisconsin and coming from there to this vicini- ty about 1898. He joined the Modern Woodmen of America, Oct. 19, 1910; filled the office of Sentry for a number of years. and at the time o1 his death was the Camp Adviser; he was true and faithful Neighbor. Died at at Carlisle, Arkansas. Sept. 12, 1915.
 Therefore be it resolved:
 Whereas. it has pleased Al mighty God, in his wisdom to take from among Us our beloved friend and Neighbor, James K. Johnson. .
The Carlisle independent., 1915-09-23

Whereas. Neighbor Johnson has every been true to the prin- ciples of Woodcraft and the up- building of the Camp by best eff. forts and devotion. Therefore, be it Resolved:
 That in the death of Neighbor Johnson we have lost one of the most devoted members; that the Camp has suffered an irretriv- able loss; that the family of our deceased Neighbor has lost a husband and a father who was kind and efectionate. We humb- ly submit to the will of God the giVer of every good and perfect gift; who does all things accord ing to the council of his own will. To such Father we trust the destiny of our deceased and to him we commend the living.
 Be it resolved:
 That the heartfelt sympathy of this Camp be extended to hds family and relatives in their af fiictiony and that we tenderly condole with them in their hour of trial and commend them to the keeping of him who looks with pitying eye upon the widow and
