Woman. Club. Th, latest venture
la ioolal olroUi in Bt. Helen it the
proposed organisation of woman's
club, which, we are informed, will be
done in the near future. No men are
to be permitted to Uke part in the at
tar, and yet thone Interested In the
prospective organisation stoutly main
tain that it ia not a movement of the
"new woman."
Why? Thli oflloe It Informed that
certain ubiorlbera of Tm Mist do
not receive their paper regularly from
the Walton postoftloe. The pa pert
re mailed regularly from tliia office
each week and there teems no good
reason why thoy thould not reach
those for whom they are Intended,
especially since the distance it let than
five miles.

with offices located at various points,
cannot fall to be of great convenience.
There are at present five telegraph

Bmuy Fob Bad Temp. Starve
It. Give it nothing to feed on. When
some thing tempts you to grow angry
do but yield to the temptation. It may
for a minute or two be tiiSflcult to con
trol yourself; but try It. Torce your
self to do nothing, to say rtotuing, and
the riling temper will be obliged to go
down because there Is nothing to keep
It up. The person who can and does
control the tongue, hands and heart
in the faoe of a great provocation ia a
hero. The world may not own him or
her at such, bat the creator does. The
bible says that "he that ruleth his
spirit Is belter than be that taketb a

A CbAiy Max Suicides.--Esop Fox,
an Inmate of the state insane asylum,
at Salem, oommitted suicide one day
last week by jumping from the third
etory of the main building of the asy
lum farm and breaking his neck. Fox
was aged about 95 years, and was oom
mitted from Jackson county in 1894.
He was one of the early settlers of Fox
prairie, near Mehama, the location
having derived lu name from bim.
No eauae caa be assigned for the man's

iMPoaTArr. Don't you dare to re
late a silver coin, uo matter how badly
it it worn bv lout circulation. If yon
do yon may get iuto trouble. The
United States supreme court, by a de
cision banded down last week, settled
esse that has been contested through'
all the courts by deciding that a man
who wtt pot off a train because a con
ductor refuted a tilver dime that was
very much worn was entitled to f 315
end costs, which had been awarded
to him by the Now Jersey courts.
Chief Justice Fuller, in disposing of
the case, said that silver coins were a
legal tender as long as they bore the
semblance of the Coin. Paste that in
your bat. .

teemt to ut the county ought to re

is it necessary that there should be.
Boad supervisors are appointed and
paid for tbe express purpose of looking
after tbe roads and bridges in their re
spective distrusts, and if they fall to do
so the county court has authority to
remove them. It is all folly to appoint
one man to superintend a certain work

Lieu Land Purchasers Lose
Their Money
Tbonxands of Dollars Invested tn
Script Proves a Loss to
tbe Holders.
Mr. T. W, Davenport, state land agent at
Salem, writes the Oregonien under date ol
January 2. that "for seversl months past
tlit federsl laud officers in this state bare
been transmitting to Governor Lord notices
from the commissioner of tbe genersl land
office at Washington that csrtain lists of
lieu-land selections, made during tbe last
four or five years, are held for cancellation,
and giving tbe state from 80 to 60 days In
which to show cause why they should not
be cancelled. Tbe reason given for so hold
ing them Is that the said selections were
made upon false or illegal bases. These
lists, which are numerous, include scores
of tracts of lands, sold by the state to as
msny individuals, citizens of the state,
whose addresses are unknown to the state
officers, and who, therefore, cannot be ap
prised of tbe critical condition of tbeirhold'
lugs by publication.
"That such a condition of affairs should
arise, by which so many persons holding
state deeds or certificates of sale are to be
dispossessed of their purchase!, cannot be
referred to mere clerical errors, and on tbs
face seems to Imply that there has been
dense Ignorance or extensiTS rascality on
the part of those officers charged with tbe
management of land matters.
"And tills is an additional reason why it
Is detmed necessary to publish, along with
tbs list of names, a brief account of the
methods adopted by the state to list and
sell the Ilea lands to whieb it ia entitled,
and Incidentally to give some explanation
of the present rathsr troublesome results.
Not a few people believe that the state Is, or
ought to be, held responsible for everything
done in Its name, and by Its officers, and
that when It executes a deed for a piece of
land is legally and morally bound to make
tbe title good. It is almost needless to say
tbsse are errors which a moment's reflec
tion mnst dispel.
"How would it do In Individual transac
tions to depsrt from tbe present safe and
just rule, that an agent cannot bind bis
principal as to business outside of the
agency, or In matters between tbe state
and its citlsens to insist that, whatever an
officer might do, the state would be bound
byttr Tbe fact is, and must be, that the
extent to which tbe state may be bound by
Its officers Is set forth in the laws ; and if a
deed be given In the name of the state, but
in derogation of law, it ia s nullity. Anil'
legal act, though done by an officer, and in
the name of the state ia still illegal and
binds nobody. The Oregon state law said
the lieu land selections shall be made 'in
tbe manner prescribed by the laws of the
United States,' but where a tract is selected
in lieu of a so called mineral base, without
such proof as tbe United States law required
to establish its mineral character, both tbe
state and federal laws were ignored by tbe
state officers.
"There Is nothing unreasonable or capra-
clous, therefore, in the holding for esucel
latlon of all such selections. It is Just what
should have been expected by tbe state
land officers and the registers and receivers
of all the federal land offices in the state.
The truly strange aspect of the case is that
the state land office should make selections
In known conflict with United States laws,
and that the federal land officers should
ever permit one of them to pass to Wash
ington.
"The laws governing the selections of lien
lands have been long iu operation; every
land office In the state is in possession of
them, and of the Judicial decisions made
under them. The rule that 'lieu land selec
tions, based upon calculated deficiencies in
unturveyed townships, are invalid,' has
been declared over and over again, and yet
It haa been habitually violated by tbe Ore
gon state land office.
"The rule, thatwhere selections are made
to compensate for school sections alleged
to be mineral, 'the proof must be that tbe
mineral exists In paying quantities,' It old
and well established by judicial decisions,
sud yet a violation of it has been tbe prin
cipal stock in trade of some Oregon lien
land attorneys.
"It goes without saying that one base
should not be used for two or more selec
tions, and so the courts have been called
upon to declare against such robbery; but
there Is plenty of evidence in the Oregon
land office, and the federal land offices, too,
that it haa been done repeatedly in the
name of the state of Oregon. I am in
formed by an ex-reglstsr of tbe United
States land office that one base served for
five selections." '
It will be remembered that lien land script
was Issued by the state which would be re
ceived as part payment for land, and land
could not be purchased without such script
This law was hardly upon the statute books
until a combination of designing men was
formed to monopolise the lieu land busi
ness, and they proceeded to bay up all the
script, and once having a "corner" on tht
supply thsy proceeded to sell it at an ad
vance over the state price, some being told
at three times the amount paid the state
for it. Not oontent with the immense profit
at this rate, they proceeded to sell numer
ous tracts of land to which the state had
not a shadow of a title, and consequently
when the matter came before the general
land office at Washington, and it appeared
that several persons held a receipt for tbe
same land the claims were all cancelled, and
as a result hundreds of Innocent people
have lost their money. There are several
viotims of the steal in this county.
