"That all the pretended contests filed by the said Chaa. E. Hayes, li. O. Nolan and W. L.

" 1 hat said timber land application is illegal, fraudulent and void as are also said pretended contests of Chas. E. Hayes, G. (). Nolan and W. J. Law and tins the said contestant is ready to prove at such time and place as may be named by the Ketiister and Receiver for a hear ing in such cage, and hereby respectfully requests that a hearing be ordered upon (he allegations made herein, in order lhat the contestant may make proof of the truthfulness of said allegations and to the end that said timber land applica tion No may be declared forfeited and cancelled, and lhat said pretended contests may be dismissed at !ratnlulent and void, thai in the meantime no de cree in favor of any of said contestants. under any pretended preference might arising out ol any ol said contestB, or otherwise, be allowed, the said contest ant hereby agreeing to pay the costs of such hearinir."

The following orders have been Issued by Meade Post, No. 2, G . A. R., of this city, with reference to the observance of Memorial Day : 1. As Memorial Day again draws near it is onr duty as survivors of that gigant ic struggle, which raged from 1801 to 1S65, to assemble to pay our yearly trib- nteoflove, respect and veneration to onr heroic dead. Ne sight so quickens the pulse of the veteran as to see those' who have come after ns wending their way to the Silent City of the Dead, la den with florets to lay npon the last resting-place of onr brave departed com rades who, in their young manhood, went at their country's call. giving np all tliry had moat dear In tins world lo hand down to coming generations an un divided Union, and a flag, whose bright Stripes and glitte ring Mars, has remain ed and will remain unsullied. It is a custom no other nation npon the face of this earth has ever followed. All na tions have honored their soldiery, wel corned home their victorious armies, and reared monuments to their memories; but it remained for the American Volun teer Soldier 10 inaugurate Memorial Day, the saddest, yet the sweetest, day of the year. No standing srmy is needed to guard the interest of tbis country so lofig as we give the people the education which this day teaches. It is a day which the pen- pie, themselves created. No congress, no legislature ordered or directed ; it is founded upon the best and holiest senti ments ol our nature. 2. Sunday, May 24, is Memorial Sab bath.

Contliiu'd Cold Kalns and Backward Weather Will Do Damage. County Clerk F. A. Sleight visited hiB farm near Canby Sunday and reports prospects very bright for a prolific prune crop. Mr. Height has a 17 acrj prune on-hard in the Canbv neighborhood, where there are over 21 K) acres of this fruit. He brought with him a small branch from one of his Italian trees that is loided with fruit. Prune growers are fearful of the consequences if the pres ent backward, cold, rainy weather con tinues for any length of time, for it is damaging to the growing crop. Orchard iaia claim lh.t tbia wxjjher iu'errupts the flow of sap in the trees and arrests the development of the fruit, which never attains its proper urowth. Exten sive damage resulted to the prune crop two years ago in this section from tine very same cause. PK K-POI KF.TS WORK OX TRAIN. Rob nil Old Sulilier r Valued.' Papers I'nler Arrest.

ITfi rFIILTfl T) t T?TH iJll) lllrjlll lAltl f larkama County Denies Negli gence In Smallpox Cases. Has Sever Failed T I reperly Treat The Malady Whenever Xotlfled Of IU Existence. The sttempt of the officers of the Mult nomah county board of health to place the blame for the existence of some Iso lated cases of smallpox in ihiscoumy en tirely to the officers of Clackamas county is not right. Exception is taken by the Clackamas county physicians to the s'atementa ami representations of the Multnomah county health ollicers with reference lo the smallpox cases in the vicinity of Sycamore. "The only notification we have re ceived of the ex sience of smallpox in Clackamas county," said Dr. J. W. Pow ell, who with his partner. Dr. J. W. Noma, are the county physicians and health ollicers for Clackamas county, "was about two weeks ago, when we re ceived a letter from some person con nected with the health department of Multnomah effnnty calling our attention tothe illness ol young liichey with the disease. So poorly was the communica tion written that we were unable to de cipher the full text of the letter 01 ascer tain its author. The letter stated, how ever, that young Richey was being pro erly quarantined, and that all precau tion were being exercised to prevent any spread of the malady. I wrote Dr. Geary, of the Multnomah county board of health, requesting continuance of the -treatment of the Richey case in Clackamas county, assuming that no expense for the services would be attach ed in this county. We heard nothing further from the Multnomah county au thorities until last Thursday, when I had a telegraphic message stating that there were several cases of smallpox near Sycamore, and in Clackam a county, that required attention I proceeded lo the place at once, but found conditions other than represented. There have been not to exceed 20 cases of Ibe dis ease in this county, and in every in stance the afllicted bad only mild at tacks. I learned that the Rock Creek school, which is located in Jhe midst of the smallpox district, had not suspended sessions lor day, and that no pupils, who had contracted the disease, weie attending the echo I. Henry Troge, a di rector of the Kock Cieek school, was the last patient, and when I visited his place yesterday I found him shearing sheep. He will notify us if any other cases de velop, and all such will be promptly treated. "Judge Ryan, who, under the law, is the other member ol the county board f health, has not been notified of a single case of the disease, so far as I am in formed. The section in which the dis ease has been confined is one of the most remote parts of the county. Being contiguous tii Multnomah county, the I buU of the trade 'and business tiansac- tionsol the community goes to places in that county, this city having no direct means of communication with the in fested district. In the treatment of these isolated cases in this county it has . been the policy of the cdunty authorities to allow the atiending physician to tieat the disease if a proper quarantine is maintained and precautions taken to prevent all coniagion. Any criticism of Clackamas county officials .in this con nection is uncalled for an J unjust. When notified of any case of smallpox or other contagious disease, steps have always been taken immediately to treat the af flicted and prevent a spread of the ma lady. The people of the county have co-operated with the officials at all times and have used every precaution to ex terminate the disease." County Judge Ryan returned to this city Saturday, having been absent from the citv for two days in company with Hon. Bmger Hermann in the interior of the coi:nty. Judge Ryan is the health officer of "the county and his attention was called to the charges of negligence that had heen preferred by Multnomah county officials against Clackamas coun ty officers in the treatment of caees of smallpox in this county. He said: "At no time have I ever been noti fied by any health officer of Portland, or by any member of the state board of 'health, that any case of contagious disease existed in Clacka mas county. In fact, tbe only notifica tion I have received of any contagious disease within the county came Dora Milwaukie, and was to the effect that there were a few cases in the vicinity of Minthorn. I directed the county physi cian to attend these cases, and they were all successfully treated. Clackamas county has never been negligent in this matter, nor at bo time has this county failed to treat and exterminate from it borders any contagious disease that was known to exist."
