the Lakevei Land Office have
liscovered that they were flim-
liaroed by the party locating them
having filed on worthless land,
which was purported to be valuable
for timber. Subsequently they are
notified by "money lenders" that
no money can be advanced on

made by the Government agents
regarding the system of acquiring
title to some of these claims.
Senator Chandler thinks Gov
Roosevelt is tho man to bo nomi
nated for vice-president on the Re
publican ticket. Speaking about
it he said: "I am for Rossevelt, and
I do not recognizo his right to say
that ho will not accept the vice
presidential nomination, if the
national convention should name
hirn. Neither do I recognize tho
right of President McKinley or
Senator Ilanna to act for the party
in deciding upon tho vice-presi
dency in advance of the conven
tion. The delegates will name tho
vice-presidential nominee. Their
judgment must deteimine, and any
man.who is named will accept. Tho
office has never been refused, and if
Gov. Roosevelt is named by the
convention, he will accept."
Spain's attempt to retain three
islands on the outskirts of the
Philippine group, was a failure
The claim was made on ths ground
that these islands were outside of
the geographical bounds named in
the Paris treaty. This government
has notified Spain that its claim
would not be recognized for the
simple reason that the demand of
this government, when the Paris
treaty was being negotiated, was for
the entire territory of Spain in the
Philippine and Sulu Archipelaroes,
and that the demand was agreed
to by the Spanish CornrmBsioners.
The statement of boundaries was
made merely to set forth in definite
form a description of the territory
ceded by Spain. The three islands
are not important, but this govern
ment is determined that no flag
other than Old Glory should fly
over any o( these islands.
vicinity, says that hu will Ii rid hit
wool this year for 20 cents per
iMJunJ, and he advisee all wool-
growers to do t'te same. I le lelicve
the supply ami demand warrant
that urice. and is satisfied that if
growers hold out for it they will
get it. As shearing has not begun
there is no niakot price, but it is
generally believed that much ltws
than 20 cents will be offered. Mr.
Vandcvort thinks that if tho present
g.-wd weather oontinuoe shearing

owing to the mild winter.
Money In Potato.
Farmers who raised jxjtatoos lust
year made lots of money on the
crop, if they sold them in time, al
though tho price is low now. It
might naturally bo supped that
this would lead to tho planting of
largo areas in potatoes this soawm,
but farmers say such is not the
case. Many of them figure that
liccauBO potatoes wore a good crop
and brought a good price, so many
will go into tho IniHineee of raising
potatoes this year that they will
not bo worth anything, and so thoy
plant fewer or nono at all. The
fact that California, which in years
of drought furniHlies n market for
Oregon potatoes, has had plenteous
rains this season, and is likely to
have good crops ol everything, ha
led some to plant a smaller acruago
of potatoes than usual. This may
be the correct way of growing pota
toes, but some old hand) at the
business plant the same acreage
year after year, and say this plan
will always win.
Change In Time
Beginning on last Monday dig
tinct improvement has been made
in the mail service on tho
Southern Pacific, which will give
Independence and Monmouth a
double daily mail service from
Portland. Train 6 of the Southern
Pacific, leaving Portland at 5:05
m., will make connection with tho
motor line at Dallas, on which
mail service has just been estab
lished. This will give these towns
a chance to send mail to and re
ceive mail from Portland both
morning and evening. In connec
tion with this service, arrangements
have been made to carry mail on
the motor from Monmouth to
Airlie. This will give Airlieadaily
mail service both ways in place of
a tri-weekly service as heretofore.
