A DUBIOUS INVESTMENT. HE OREGONIAN has been asked I for Its opinion upon certain clr " culars which lawyers of more or less repute are scattering abroad. Thcso alluring documents invite peo ple to pay a lawyer's fee of $75 In the hope of securing titlo to a quar ter section of land in the litigated grant of the Southern Pacific Rail road. Of course what the investor buys, who accepts tho proposition! is a lawsuit. Ho may win or ho may not. In the meantime the lawyer hns tho ?75 and Is perfectly secure from loss, whatever betides. But, what is more to the point, no seeker of a tract can have a shadow "of claim unless he ls an "actual set tler" which means that he must dwell on the land, improve It, grub Its stumps and brush, till tho soil, and raise thereon crops, chickens, livestock nnd a family. It will be necessary for every claimant to be an actual settler, and if he uses tho land in the way just .mentioned there can be no dispute of his set tlement thereon. After that, the way will be open for his lawsuit. It Is absurd for persons In other sta tes, allured by circulars, to hope to establish any claim, and absurd for porsons hero In Oregon to do so, un less thoy are willing to try actual sottloment. There aro fow or no such settlers. Men and women will not stake the effort nnd tho privation that settlement makes necessary on an insecure titlo. Nor would any roputablo newspaper advlso them to do fao. Some men enjoy tho excitement of a scheme like this. Prudent people ' nro apt to shun such investments. Lawsuits nro llko tho day of judg ment. No man knowoth when they will bo ovor or how thoy will come out. Tho government's lawsuit to tnko tho land away from tho rail road will probably drag along through a sorpentlno course from court to court half a lifetime. In tho end tho government may win Its causo and tho Investor got titlo to his land, but meanwhile tho snows of ago will lmvo whitened his raven locks and the lawyor who took his money will have dlod In tho odor of sanctity. If any ono has $75 to glvo away, why not sond It to the heathen? Oregonlan. NOTICE.

The crowd Saturday was one of tho largest of the three drys' session and the re straint that had marked the previous dns was so aside and old and young united in a most enjoyable celebration. The art display was one of the fi nest collections over exhibited of fancy needle work, and Indian curios also that of fruit and vegetables. In the latter line, the carnival commit tee was handed a pair of lemons, one prize-winner being one of fifty grown by Mis. M. E. Lilly of Bills Creek the other a beautiful specimen of the Ponde Rosa variety grown by Mrs. W. J. Tennlson two miles from Bandon. These beautiful spe cimens of tropical fruit grown out of doors, Illustrates that with prop er development Coos county may yet vie with California in tho produc tion of both lemons and oranges, thus adding another great industry to our neighborhood.

Tho following boats were en tered and finished as designated: Hermann Bros., first; Young, sec ond; Barrows, third; Walstrom, fourth; Randlemann, fifth; Roy Ilolten, sixth; Petorson, seventh; Drane, eighth. Immediately after the boat race th'o Coqulllo River Life Saving crew gave a fine exhibition drill on tho river which was greatly enjoyed by the Immense crowd of onlookers. At 5 p. m. Professor Price gave his second bnloon ascension and parachute jump, with his groat can non act, discharging a cannon In tho air at tho time he cut his parachute loose. Ho was not ns successful this timo landing in tho river, but was quickly rescued by a launch which was following him.
