IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.
Great Abnae of the Timber Land
Aot of 1878.
Rotttuao, Or., Nov. IS. A very import
ant case hat bten on trial before the United
tStstet Itnd office at thit place for aeveral
months patt, Involving the title to a very
Itrcs body of landt In Jackton and Jote-
pbln conntlet.
The tpeclal agentt for the government
allege In their complaint! that one Julius
K. Minor cauted a number of aettlen to e-
curt title to timber landt with tha under-
ttandtnathtt the landt tbuuld be trans
ferred to him upon tb perfecting of title.
Th oontract wat carried oat until Hr.
Minor had secured title to nearly sixty
claims, containing many thousand acres of
vsluable Isnds. The scheme worked well
until a special agent of the United 8tatet
land offlre from Wnnhington took up the
milter, and cited Mr. Minor to tubatanti
ait bit title.
One of th catet waa taken np, and it wat
finally determined to make it a test case.
and it wat Tully tried, taking np tbe time
and attention of tbe local officers of tb
land office for tbout four months.
It it upon this case that Register Robert
M. Vested and Receiver R S. 8herldan
have lust decided. In their decision they
hold that the government bat fully sus
tained their ease, and that the titles to the
Isndt revert to the XTn'ted States.
The ease will be appealed to the commit-
loner of tha general land office and from
him, no dqubt, to the secretary of the In
terior. That the litigation consequent upon
Ihe case will coat Mr. Minor a large sum
of money, and that ha will, ao doubt,
eventually lose the lands, there can hardly
be a reasonable doubt.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Storing Squaehe.
When gathered from the field, the
.quash should be placed in a dry, cool
room, and kept there until freecing
weather approaches Then remove
them to what might be termed a warm
and dry room. It ia difficult to keep
them during the entire winter without
more or lea. trouble from rot; yet
(ucb varieties aa the Hubbard and
Turban may be preaerved for quit a
long period after harveating.
Ilye Alter a Crop.
Many gardene at thia season are
filled with weed, which, if not de
stroyed, will ripen their seed. If the
garden were plowed a toon aa the
main crop were off, and towed with
rye aa winter covering, one-half of tbe
difficulty in fighting weed the follow
ing aeaion would be prevented. The
rye will alao take up aome fertility
that would be washed away by winter
and spring flood, and thut lott. The
aving of fertility i quit aa neces
sary aa adding to it by new applica
tlona of manure.
Enriching th Paetaree.
It take mineral fertility to make
rich grass. Wherever brush or stumps
are burned, luaving plenty of potash
in the .oil, the erase will grow up rich
and sweet, and be kept close cropped,
while away from such placea tbe large,
coarse heibage will be left uneaten.
The craving of cowa fed on old pas
ture for bones ia an indication that
phosphate ia lacking in the aoil. It ia
cheaper to make the grai rich than
to feed the bone meal to the cow. A
dressing of potash and phosphate in
crease the vain of grass besides In
creasing ita yield.
Big Crops.
It rarely bappena that a big crop ia
produced at a loss. The extra work
required to procure a large yield per
acre alwaya pay better than doee a
like amount of labor apread over a
wider area. There are limitations to
the amount of fertility that can be
profitably provided for each crop, aa
every farmer know. Borne need a
different kind of fertilizing than do
other. There are grots feeder and
hat we may call delicate feedera.
Moat garden vegetable are groea feed
er. The aoil cannot be made too rich
for cabbage or celery or tbe large root
crop. They all require aupplie of
nitrogen. Corn alio neude rich land.
It ia helped by coarse, unfermented
manurea, because in the aoil their de
composition furniahea beat, and this
ia all important to make corn.
Planting Potato In th Fall.
Thore haa been much discussion in
the agricultural press about fall-planted
potatoes, aome averring that the meth
ed waa not practicable, while othera
have found it to work to an advant
age. A farmer, writing to the Country
Gentleman, a New York scientific pa
per, aaid be tried a small patch last
fall, and explained hie method, and
waa to pleated will) tbe result that ne
planted quite an acreage this fall. In
the latter part of October he planted a
mall piece in drills, cutting the tubers
in generous pieces, and covering them
some 5 or 6 incbee deep Willi . eartb ;
over thi be placed a mulch of etraw 6
inches or more thick. JSo more atten
tion waa given them until the forepart
of May, when the straw waa raked off
and tbe ground allowed to tbaw out.
The potatoes made an early start, were
kept clean of weeds by frequent culti
vation, and. in spite of the severe
drouth, matured a fiue cron. mostly
of large-eixed tubers, which matured
the second week in July. It ia not
generally considered necessary lo cover
the eronnd with a mulch aa a protee
lion in the spring, for that would prove
a very eerioua drawback when more
than a very email acreage waa planted ;
but Ihe most serious objection to this
method seems to be a liability of the
aeed rotting during the wet weather
in the apring, unless they are planted
on well drained or naturally drained
ground, and a likelihood of the plant
alerting too early and being caught
by tbe late frosts. But in spite of
these drawbacks the double advantage
of having the crop in early, and doing
it when there ia more time than in the
ruah of the epring work, would make
the fall planting popular if the farm
era, generally, were assured that it
can b don auccesifully. It i cer
tainly worthv of careful consideration
and experiment in all placea, and
would be good work for the experi
ment atation.
Forgery or Coanty Warrant.
Taa Dali.cs, Or., Nov. 24. Edward Mar
tin, ex-deputy county clerk, baa been in
dicted by tbe grand jury for forgery. It ia
claimed that fr n lulent county warrants
bearing Martin's signature, were Issued,
Great surprise wss felt when the matter
waa made public, at Martin stands high in
tbe oommunity, and has many friends who
maintain hia innocence. He was allowed
till Monday morning to plead.
Martin waa raised on Deer island, thia
county, and in 1880 waa elected county clerk
but later resigned the office, and ei-Oor-ernor
Semple, of Washington, waa ap
pointed for the unexpired term. The above
dispatch was a great surprise to bit many
friends In Columbia county, and it is gen
erally believed here that the charge ia un
founded, and that an investigation will ex
honorate him. Ed.

gentlemen were on tbeir way borne
from a trip along tbe river, looking
after tbe company's interest on tbeir
water linea. Mr. Hurlburt atated to
a repreeentative of Thi Mist that tbe
O. B. & N. Company pay out $18,000
a month for wood alone, between As
toria and Portland. Thia amount in
cludea wood for towing purposes as
well as for tbe steamers engaged in
passenger and mail service. This
money is distributed largely among
tbe people of Columbia county through
tbe merchants to tbe woodeboppera
and othera engaged in getting - it out
and conveying it to the water, for
which the company get in return very
little patronage. Yet there are people
along the river who are continually
abuaing tbe steamboats, and etpeo
ially tbe O. B. A N. Company, for
what reason they know not. Eight
een thoutand dollara a month ia a
pretty good wood bill, and those who
receive relief from thie source should
cease tbeir unwarranted condemnation
of the company who contributes such
