Orcgenlun .Makta NtHrlllng Kxpuac Cunrrrulnir (JoTcriiineiit Land. Uncle Ham is digging up a stupendous lieu land Kraft on (he l'acillo Coast, The deeper lie oe the deeper lie geta, but be haa already delved far enough to con ince him that a lieu land ring has been carrying on a flagrant biiHinesa, without conscience and without stint, in every W'ull-timhered area on the l'acillc slope, ays Wednesday's Oregonian. This ring ha not only acquired "base" lands by "dummies" and other fraudu lent means; It bas debauched state land olllciala, making them hirelings or part ners in the business ; it has maintained In the General Land Olllce- at Washing ton agents whose duty was to "leak" in formation about proposed reserves and other profitable matters; it lias cast its spell over field odlcers of the General I-and Olllce, who mapped out boundaries of proposed reserves; and it bas "worked" those olllcers by the glitter of gold to conform those boundaries to its own interests. The central figures of this colossal con spiracy are alleged to be V. A. Hyde A Co., of San Francisco, brokers and deal ers in real estate and lieu land scrip. The company consists of F. A. Hyde, re puted to he the author of the lieu land law, and John A. Bonson, who was in volved many years ago in the notoriously fraudulent "Benson surveys" of Califor nia. And where Is Schneider? Down In Ari xona somewhere, seeking health, so the report runs. According to one rumor be ia in me real estate business at Tucson, and according to another be is in the livery business somewhere else. He that as It may, be is a much changed man siuce eight or nine years ago, when he was buying school land certificates in Oregon, pavisR 5 and $10 for each half eclion ana receiving 150 therefor from Ifvde ,1 Co.

Thia lady used to he invaluable for her aptitude at inventing namea and aiguaturea and at slllaing the aame to tim proier docu ment. She got up early ami sat up late with her nnflitgglng pen. Veara wore ou and the couple incu-amid in worldly IreaNure; uioro juara, and (till iLuir rlchea grew. ThotinHiida upon lliouaand of acrea of aclutol laud were thil acipiired tiy Hyde A Co. How ilid Hyde A Co. get their money out? What became of the laud? here did they go? Into Ion-Hi reeerve. The land were bought (or that purpose. The rperve were created (or that purpoae. The con apiratora knew where they wanted re- I aervea. I hey knew in advance whether the ('resilient waa going to proclaim a reserve. Ueaerve In Oregon and California were proposed at their Instigation, laid oil according to their desires, amended to their convenience and created to their satisfaction. Then they trooped into tlm local land iillicea with their "dummiea" and tl hirelinga. They look what land they wanted and persons outside the ring came "too late." So close waa the ring that it became practically iuisaslble for an "outsider lo get state land ol any value, nor could he gel worthless land unless it was to Im outside of a a reset ve. Arid land, alkali land, rocky land, towering crag, high dill, mountain toiis, became "base" and Uncle Sain ex changed it for the most fertile and the heat timtiered area in the realm. So much (or the lieu land law, written largely, It is said, by Hyde himself, and enacted in 1BH7. If there are auy slick gentlemen on earth, they are no slicker than Measra. Hyde am) lienson. Tills is how the syatem worked with atate school land as revealed by Schnei der in his confession : Hyde & Co. at first paid applicants through Schneider, and perhaps two or three sub-agents, for the use of their naaiea. The aignatures in thia caae were genuine. Hut another method remained, more convenient and uiuie economical. It was forgery. Hy that method fictitious names were signed on applications. Notaries public, in the service of the ring, certilied that the imrsona whose names appealed on the applications had appeared before them. Thua titlea were secured in the atate land ollices, tlm land lR-caine"bse" and script in lieu thereof was placed on the market. All the papers were aigned at one time in order to avoid future dis crepancies in the signatures. Hut the growth ol the business required speedier method and more script. The invention of names was loo slow. The II rm advertised for clerks and steno graphers. The signatures hi the re sMne were used, slightly altered. Still, more Improvement was needed, so, according to the story of Schneidur, Hyde A Co, undertook to have more re serve crusted. They encouraged the public to demand more reserves, for the protection ol (wrests and the water sup ply. In the setting aside of the proposed reserves in Uregon they were moving apirit. Tim Rogue River reserve and several reserves in Northern California were largely of their making. Schneider told that Hyde A Co. "fixed" Government ollicera in the field ; that they subsidized a clerk in the General Land Cilice who "leeked tips" through cipher telegrams ; that reserve boundaries were so established that every possible acre of unlocated school land would be included; that when "advance know ledge" was obtained, Hyde A Co. secured as much land as they could within those limits by means of "dummies" and by private purchase; that state land ofllcers "stood in," and tiiat maps of proposed reserves were actually chanced by Gov ernment field ollicera in the interest of HyrtoACo. Surveyors of the General Land Olllce in the seveial states gave out "advance information" to Statu Land Hoards about fluid notes of deputy surveyors. Hy that means, interested persons were enabled to secure "base" in advance of the gen eral public. Lists of the desirable lands were in the hands of the ring before the general public knew about reserve boun daries. "Dummy" entries were filed ahead of bona fide applications. When persons outHide the ring filed applications tor land they were told that the olllce was very busy that day; that the land had perhaps been filed on al ready but that the information would be forthcoming in a day or two; meanwhile his application would be given ita regular order. However, the ring was notified in time and saved the land by a "dummy" or some other means, and when the bona fide applicant returned he was informed "too late." These orations have been carried on throughout the West. But prosecution of many of the offenders is outlawed by the statute of limitations, Olllcers of the General Land Oflice and of State Land Ollices are involved and may be drawn into the vortex The excitement incident to traveling and change of food and water often brings on diarrhoea, and for this reaaon no one should leave borne without a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlarrhcca Remedy.

(Jret Srati-lly of Caiiillilulci and Lit tle I etc rent Taken In the Municipal Election. J.lltle Interest attaches to the annual municipal election to Im held in Oregon t Ity Monday, Ileramber 7, w hen a mayor, clly treasuier and five members of the common council are to be elected. Hon. Grant H Dunick mav he re-elected to succeed himself for the thiid time. To fill the various olllce there is a great de ficiency of candidates. I'ohtic have for years been eliminated from municipal all'air in Oregon City snd this year political issues and strife is even mure removed than ever. The pres ent indications are that Mayor Dimick, who was elected for a third term a year ago aa the Independent Citizens' choice, will he re-elected. Hucb tickets aa may he placed in the field will be strictly non partisan in their complexion and the contest, if any takes place, will resolve into a choice aa between the respective candidates as men and their fitness for the ullice to w hich thev aspire, TIIKUI MAY Rg A CONTEST. The fact that it baa been -many years since uregon City bas held a city election that waa not attended by a lively con teat leads many to believe that the ap proaching event will not go by default ramihlatea lor the Uillerent iiositions will likely all be placed on the ticket hy petition and since nearly a mouth Inter venea until the expiration of the time in which nominations may be made by iwtiiiou, there may yet lie something do ing. An ellort is being made to induce in. Mieaban, a present member uf the council, to make the race for the mayor any. Mr. Mieahan is one ol the main superintendent at the paper mill and haa at all times taken a keen interest in Dm all'air of the city. He ia being strongly urged hy hi many friends tu become a candidate. Should Mr. Shea- ban or some other equally prominent citizen become a candidate (or mayor, It i not likely that Mr. lhinick will enter the race (or a fourth term, although the latter decline to define hi Intention at this time. However, Mayor Dimick's friend are especially industrious in striving to induce him to accept the olllce lor another term. Mayor Dimick's administration of city alluir lor the last three years, while er haps not beyond criticism, has been gen erally satisfactory. While the unfriend liness of the religious organizations of lite city liaajieen aroused at time by the present mayor, still these societies have never figured as an element in mu nicipal elections since they have never been able to marshal their forces to the end that anything has been accomplished For tins reason, coupled with the scarcity ol candidates desiring to enter the con test, no opposition from this source is expected. The general government of city a Hairs has been satisfactorily ad ministered, practically within the reve nues oi the city. The election of city officers In this city this year will tie conducted iu December. a for years before, under the provisions ol the Australian ballot law, the only ad ditional requirement with which the candidates will nave to comply being the filing with the city recorder ol the certificates of nomination. If the nomi nation are made by convention, these certificates must be filed thirty days prior 10 me election, anil u inaue ciy pennon then the filing must be had at least fif teen days before election day. During the week twtiliona have been circulated among the business men of the city ask ing Mayor Dimick to stand for renomlna tion and re-election and serve his fourth term as mayor. The tietitions have been signed hy representative citizens of the city and will be filed with the city re corder soon. CANDIDATES FOR COl'NCILMKM. Material for the aldermanic places is practically a minus quantity. As in pre vious elections, these candidates will ikely be determined upon at the last moment, since no names have as nuch as been suggested at this time for the various vacancies that will exist in the memliership of the council. Three mem bers of the council letire by virtue of the expiration of the terms for which they were elected. They are: First ward, Dr. J. W. I'owell ; second ward, C. G. Hunt ley, third ward, E. W. Scott. In addi tion to these three, two other vacancies must be supplied to complete the mem bership of the council, members of that body having removed from the ward in which they were elected. A successor will be chosen for E. L. Story, who has left the third ward, while Mr. II. L. Kelly, who was recently elected by the council lo fill the unexpired term ol 8. E. I'heister from the second ward, will prob ably be asked to accept the oflice for a term of three years. There are no pros pective candidates for any of the other vacancies. TltS SALARIED OFfiCIRS. With the exception of city treasurer, the salaried officers of the city, under the city charter, are elective by the council or appointive by the mayoi. For treas urer, it is known that r. J. Myers, the present incumbent, will be a candidate for re-election and it is not believed that he will be opposed. Bruce C. Curry, than whom Oregon City never bad a more efficient city recorder, will be a candidate before the new council to suc ceed himself. Mr. Curry is now serving his fifth term and has proven a faithful and painstaking officer. The other sala ried positions, vis : Chief of Police, Night- watch, Street Commissioner, City Attor ney and City Engineer, are appointive by the Mayor and no prediction ran be made as to the probable appointees. Those at paesent serving in these capaci ties are respectively : Cbas. E. Burns, E. L. Shaw, John Green, Geo. L. Story and E. P. Rands. The office of Chief of the Fire Department, now held by L. Ruconicti, is supplied annually at an election held by the members of the vol unteer fire department. INDKnTRDNESS OF Till CITY. To participate in the administration of city affairs in Oregon City is a thankless oflice since with an indebtedness of ap proximately 180,000 it ia only with the strictest economy that the currant ex penses and interest charges are met. On January 1, last, the total bonded in debtedness of the city aggregated f(J2, 607.01 and of that amount 12,607.01 will ""ny " individual taxpavera . who have taken advantage of thn bond ing act in the payment of certain timet and seacr Improvement. The bonded Indebtedness of the cily consist of the following item: t'JO.OOO 6 ir cent bonds, dus May I, llll,'); f.'iO.OOO f per cent bonds due May 1, I IK! I ; $ll,8'Mi.7.'i 0 r cent sewer bonds, due January 1, l!)ll ; .'!.VI.L'H 0 per cent Ntieet improve ment bonds, due January II, 1011; ITi7 11 per cent sewer improvement honda, dim February 1, VM'I. The total float ing indebtedness o( the city January 1, last, waa tL'l ,4.'J8.83. During the vear l'JOO the floating In-debtedm-sa of the city increased from -'0i:!,Jl..r)tot2:s.M:j,i,!)ar.J was reduced in l'KH to UOiOl.o.'l. Last year the ex pense of the city exceeded the receipt to the extent that the floating debt reached l.'M.'iH H.'S. For the year HMI.'t, the expense of the city, it is believed, will be within tlm receipts which for last year aggregated 1 1 1 ,5 ,., 8-r) ol winch amount fittUO was received from saloon licenses. IMI'OHTAXT CHARTKR AMKKllMkKT. In connection with the election of ofllcers this year, the electors of Oregon City will le called upon to vote on an Mtiortant amendment tonie city oharter. Under the old charter, the total cost of the improvement of a street was assessed to the prciierty immedistely adjacent to the street improved but at the laet les iou o the atale legialat'ire, the charter was ao amended as to provide lor a new fund to be known as the permanent street Improvement fund, the said fund to be raised hy a ecial 3-rnill tax and the fund so raised to Im used only in the improvement of streets as follows: Whenever the improvement of a street is authorized, one-third of the cost ia to be assessed to the special fund and the balance is to lie assessed lo the individ ual proerty owners. It requires a ma jority vote of the electors at the coming municipal election lo ratify this amend ment to the charter and make the aame operative. OUKOON CITY'S FfTfSE. In s financial lay Oregon City never had a brighter future since the munici pality contracted so much indebtedness. Ds streela and other public improve ments were never before in better con dition and the occasion for great ex-IH-nditure in the next few succeeding years was never further removed. If the supreme court of the state sustains the validity of the new assessment law, the city will within the ensuing twelve months receive practically four times the amount of tax money that was re ceived during this year. The advantage of the cily in this reaped appears the greater when it is known tiiat the taxes lo im levied will be placed on an assess ment roll nearly three times the abro gate of tlm roll of a year ago. During the year 1902 Oregon City received from taxes the sum of MtilO while its receipts from other sources amounted to shout 17000. The expenses of the city per an num, including interest on the floating and bonded indebtedness of the munici pality,' is about 12,000. With the tax revenues that the city will get, It should be possible with proper man agement to meet all legitimate expense ol tlm citv and also cancel a considerable amount of tbe existing indebtedness ithin tbe year. THEODORE WIGAST FOUTS DEAD, A Pioneer Citizen of Oregon City Haa Burled Thursday. Theodore Wygant louts, a pioneer resident of this city, died Tuesday night of a nervous disease and was buried in Mountain View cemetery Thursday after noon, funeral services being conducted at tils late home In thia city by Rev. P. K. Hammond, of the Episcopal church. The deceased, who was in his 4!)th year, was horn at Caneinah and spent his entire life in the immediate vicinity of hie birth, lor many years be was en gaged at steam, boating on the upper Wil amette river and subsequently he held many official positions in Oregon Citv and Clackamas county, including deputy sheriff, deputy county clerk, justice of the peace, city recorder and bailiff ol the state circuit court.

If ao and you can tell how much money a jar contains you should not fail to par ticipate In the prize money guessing contest that the Enterprise has; provrded lor its present and prospective readers The Enterprise baa decided to make some substantial New Year's presents to some ol Its subscribers. We bave tilled a glass jar with coins and currency of different denominations. Tbe total amount contained therein will be given away on the afternoon of January 1, 1904, to the persons making the closest guess as to the amount. The jar, filled with the coin, it in the window of the Lamb & lawyer's Oun and liicycle store on Main street, where it may he viewed by per sons desiring to make an estimate. There will be more than a "penny lor your thoughts," that is, of course, if you closely approximate (lie auiouut iltf jat contains. Nobody ia barred from taking part Id the contest and tbe only requisite condi tion for pirticipating therein is payment of subscription money on the Enterprise. In order that tbe contest may be equally fair lo both old and new subscribers, one guess will he allowed for every $1.50 that is raid on subscription. If you are in arrears to the paper send us some money and accompany it with one guess (or each year's subscription so sent. If you are not delinquent in your subscription, pay for a year in advance and make a guess. If you are paid in advance, eign lor me paoer lor a triend ; at any rate manage to get a guesa and win tbe money. The amount of money that is contained in the jar is not known to any one. We placed the bulk of the money in tbe jar and the balance, in onknowu denomina tions and also amount, was deposited in the jar by Mr. C. Schuebel, the Oregon City attorney, tbe amount so placed by eacn being entirely unknown to tbe other. The seal on the jar will be broken on the afternoon of January 1, next, and tbe award of the money will be made as fol lows: 50 per cent to the person guessing closest lo the amount in tbe jar ; -5 per cent to tbe person guessing sec ond closest aa to the amount, and 5 per cent each to tbe next five per sons guessing next closest as to tbe total amount in tbe jar. In arranging the details it haa been the endeavor of tbe Enterprise to make the contest absolutely fair and with the kind assistance of Mr. Bchubel we think we bave succeeded to the end that the best guesser is the man who wil) get the bulk ol the amount contained in the jar. All guesses mast be delivered at the office ol the Enterprise or mailed to tbe Enterprise, Oregon City, where they will be preserved until the contest closes, when all of the estimates will be turned over to Mr. Bcbobel who will break the seal, make the count and distribute tbe money on tbe afternoon of January 1.

Who It ia pretty bard to prove tbe statement of some stranger residing in faraway parts of the country, but tbe testimony that follows should convince tbe most skeptical. D. D. Coffey, of Portland, whose place of residence is at 483 East Thirteenth St.,savs: "I bave been a great sufferer from carbuncles or tumors for years. Every once in a while they appeared not only one at a time but broke out in dif ferent places, ' mostly on my arms or about my neck. Three years ago I suf fered from a number of them which broke out almost at the same time. I was treated by a physician and be stated that I would never get entirely rid of them unless I bad them lanced and tbe core taken out. He operated on tbem and I was not bothered itb any more until last fall when oneuade its appear ance. 1 came to tbe conclusion tbat my blood was out of order and that tbe kid neys were not performing their functions properly. The first thing I thought of was to get the kidneys right and I got a box of Doan s Kidney Pills, taking them as directed, and tbey did all tbat was claimed for them. On previous occasions when one appeared it was followeti by others but Doan's Kidney Pills checked them. About two weeks ago one broke out on my arm and I again resorted to Doan's Kidney Pills and tbey prevented others from appearing. I can cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney Pills for I also know others who bave nsed them with very satisfactory results." 1'lenty more proof like this from Ore- eon City people. Call at C. G.
