It will be forward ed to him upon the return of the blank. Many members of the Second Ore gon regiment make Inquiry of the ex Colonel, General O. Rummers, which lends hi in to believe that only a small portion of the former soldiers of hlf command have applied for the med als, and he is of the opinion if these ei-soldicrs understood that it is re quired of them first to apply for the medals before the oincini niacninery at Washington Is set III motion, more of the men would be receiving theii badges ot honor.

The resolutions open as follows: "This congress recognizes the fact 'hat our state as a whole Is suffering from an enormous concentration of monopolies that control Ihe entire railroad system of Oregon, that block the settlement of the state with enor mous holdings of land grants, and nrevent the natural development and itlllzntlon of our water power, and we further recognize In these monop olies Hie greatest abstacle to the rapid filling up of the unsettled por tions of Oregon, and particularly the snulhwewlern. southern and eastern portions. With the tides of Immi gration that nre coming to the Pa llle coast. . eatlze thai our utmost "iideavors must be. put forward to breaking up of those monopolies and iirevei'llng the further exploitations of our commonwealth, by Inactive "apltal which bears no share of ne burden of development." The resolutions further favor the following: The entering upon a policy of blghwnv construction by the corpora tions of the stale and the countie i the construction of a syst'.m of slate highways, , e encouraging of electric railroads by every possible means; the construction of first-class, per manent highways from Coos Bay to Hosehurg: endorsing the efforts of State Kngineer Lewis 111 his cam paign to secure the enactment of a more Just and equitable system to pr"serve water rights and establish proper distribution of water In arid districts: supporting the policy Inau gurated by the Rivers and Harbors congress of expending at least $10,- FOR An nnn JJVW -- Ji- w - an infection of the circulation by the No charge tor either THE SWIFT SPECIFrC CO..

Regarding the question of state aided railroads, resolutions were adopted as follows: Favor State Aid for Itoncl. "The Western Oregon Develop ment Congress desires to raise the new Issue that the time has come for the people of Oregon to help them selves and proceed by every instru mentality In their possession to or ganize and build a trunk line across tho state of Oregon east and west, terminating at Coos Buy. We believe the construction of such a railroad would do more to mash down the barriers of monopoly and open up the vast unsettled areas and encourage the building of a large city at the seaboard and other large cities In the Interior of the Btnte, adding hun dreds of millions of wealth and half a million to our population inside of ten years." The resolutions further advocnte that the state legislature should take steps to grant right of way and pass a bill authorizing the Btnte to con demn right of way over existing laud grants held by oilier corporations and that the state should build, own and operate either electric or oilier lines In such sections tliereor as might be necessary.

Portland Journal, Aug. 26: Sev eral years ago. In 1903, to be exact, Mr. and Mrs. Clnes W, Andersou squatted on limberlulld 111 Coos coun ty. Mr. Anderson had 1 tit) acrea. Mrs. Anderson took 80 and was satis fied. Later there was a little dispute In the family. Mrs. Anderson gath ered her dudB together and hiked ov-. er into the mute of Washington. While there she got a divorce from Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson didn't seem to care about the divorce a bit. After a while, however, one or the other of the two repented. Perhaps they both did. Anyway, thoro were a few letters written. Then Mrs. Anderson hiked back to Coos county and to her little 80 acres ot land. And to Mr. Anderson's shanty. Along about this time the president made a forest reserve ill this part of Coos county which Included land on which the Andersons had squatted. The Anderson's claims are being contest ed. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are Btill living there, divorced, though, but ns happy. It Is said, or happier, ihau ev er before. But now Mr. Anderson has more troubles. He snj'B It Is worae than ;he divorce. Suys he. It will cuuse him to worry more. This Is the feat ure ot the story, Its fact. It should have been said In the beginning. Bul If It had been It would hnve been difficult to bring in so much about Mrs. Anderson, the divorce and tho return to her former husbaed. And also to fact that the divorcees lire now living together. Here's th meat of the story, nt last, honect. United I ales District Attorney lnu.li McCourt filed a complaint In Ihe United States district court this morning charging Clues Anderson, that's the man, with having unlaw fully cut and destroyed 40(1.000 feet of government timber. This is all in the forest reserve. Anderson says he had a right to -lit the timber, which is unusunlly line, bb he has a prior right to the lalni Hint the president didn't sign Ihe iiioclaniatlon making Ihe lores! n reserve until long nfter he had takei. up the claim. Mrs. Anderson says that Mr. Anderson is right. . The timber was sold to a sawmill There are several hundred acres ol mill land ill the forest reserve, too. Some day there will be a coal mine I here, maybe. A. R. Clinton, Cecil C. Carler, 1. it. Billings. IJ. W. Morris and W. .1 Anderson, who live In that neck ot :!iu woods, are mimed as witnesses tor the government. The timber cut Is worth something like $."l0. The penally for such nc llons as are charged against Mr. An lerson is n year In Jail, or there abouts, and n heavy line. The Andersons are two of tho fif teen defendants in the suits brought recently by the federal government through the United States land olllce In Koseburg to suspend their entries on coal lands In Coob county. Al though coal land entries were made. Ihe government alleged that Hie lands were wanted primarily for their magnificent timber and m t for what coal they might conluln. In the case of the Andersons, one of the allegations was that the divorce was procured purposely In order to permit the woman to extend her land entry rights. This, however, Mrs. Anderson emphullcnlly denied. We understand a complaint was made out against n local business house for keening open last Sunday, bill II was not filed, upon the promise of the proprietor to keep the doors closed on Sundays hereafter.
