AGAINST SPAULDINCi LOSE LAND THEY FILED ON IN BENTON, Is Result of Land Contests Iade by Ambler, Charles Davis and Others Other Local ; News. V Title to a section of land in Ben ton county is involved in a decision just Tendered at the Oregon City land office. Mrs. Spaulding who resides at the corner of Seventh and Jefferson. Corvallis, with hjer son, danghter and grand daughter filed on a section of timber land . near - a saw mill, south of town. Henry Ambler, Charles Davis, William Mace and Mr. Burnap, all of Philomath, contested the claims on the ground that the Spauldings werenot Donafide residents, and were not homesteaders in good faith. There was a hearing of a week last ' August before County Clerk Moses, in which evidence pro and con was taken. Two of Jthe contests were also heard in Oregon City. A de cision just rendered by the land office officials- holds that the claims of the Spaulding's are invalid, be cause the filings are not in good faith. AS IT NOW STANDS.

They came highly recom mecdcd, and are gentlemen in ev ery respect. We never bave beeD in tbe habit, (or are not at tbe pres ent time) of arsocittsng with aoy people ef good character. The state ment in the Gazette is written as a burlesque and slur upon the above mediums, and the Spiritualists in particular. Before announcing peo ple as fxkei, I would suggest that tbe editor of the Gazette at least send a reporter, or attend a seance and see for himself, before making a publication which is a libelous and a slanderous insinuation upon the mediums, SpiritualUts and up on myself and family, knowing tbo$e gentlemen were guests in my borne at the time of said publica tion. Tbe "Bob" referred to' evi dently is Mr. Johnson. He attend ed the seance and conducted him self as a gentleman. - And there never wt-re aoy such actionB dnring tbe seance, as described in said ar ticle fas for Willie.)

IS A: GIANT.: SECRETARY ROOTS CHAIR ' JSVT BIG ENOUGH FOR TAFT. Was Afraid It Would Break Downt and : Had New One Made : . Comparative Strength of , Japanese and Russian .. Navies Other .' , - News. . ... Washiceton, Feb. 1. Secretary Taft'a firet official acttodav was' to summon tbe war department car penter and tell him to make a new de. k and chair, and be quick about it. Secietary Taft is six fett tall and weiebs 320 pounds. He found he could barely squeeze it to the chair used by Mr. Root. He could not sit comfoitible in it, and there was great danger that the chair would go to pieces under him if he moved Quickly. When he tried to get up to me desk he discovered that the opening was neither wide enough nor high enough to admit his legs. The best he could do was to pull out one of the small leaves of the dees aca try to write on that. . The desk and chair tbat will be built for the new . secretary will be of mammoth rroportions. The chair will be very strong, and will be braced with iron at every joint It is probable tbat a special chair will bave to be provided tor secre tary Taft in the cabinet room at tbe White House. The cabinet chairs are very large, as ordinary siz s go, but they are a tight fit for Mr. lait. O egon City, Ur Ueb. . 9 A series of revival meetings that has been conducted at Mulino by two Free Methodist, preachers, named Blair aud Ksywood, terminated rather abruptly a few days ago. The form of services conducted by tbefe men is reportel to have been similar to that of the Holy Rollers, of Corvallis fame, and the meetings increased in interest and enthusi asm until the usual quiet of the lo cality was considerably disturbed. The meetings were to have concluded-Saturday evening, but' on Friday night eome of the displeas ed residents of Mulino neighbor hood gained entrance to the hall in wbich the services were being held, and left a can of tar on the ros trum, betide which was deposited a note stating that in the opinion . of the law-abidiDg people of Mulitao tbe meetings had progressed about as far as would be tolerated. ' y ' The warning had the desired effect, and no further disturbance attended the evangelistic meetings, w hich have since been abandoned. Chefoo, Feb, 10. More than one I a If of the Russian officers at Port hur blame Admiral Alexiefi for tie disaster that has overtaken Is or. They believe that, instead ii spending the time sending com rt noications to St. Petersburg dur iii ( the last lew weeks, bewailing t e anxiety for peace that prevailed there, he should have been prepar ing his forces for the combat. In fact, the wish is declared to have been made by one of the admiral's former warmest supporters' that he would be recalled to St. Petersburg-, court maitialed and shot for in competency. The land forces are in a bad way and are ready to run at the first fire. A corpse of tbe determined Japanese infantry would have little trouble takicg the fortress with the squadron attackiag from the harbor mouth. The situation - at present looks as if Russia would be forced to abandon her "modern Gibraltar" within a very short time. Tokio, Feb. 10. Japan seized Masampho Sunday and dispatched a heavy force there. Japan will fortify the port and establish a mil itary and naval base' there. Ma sampho is an exceedingly import ant point, as it controls the Corean channel and is an excellent base for future operations. FOR SALE.

A special dis patch if om Ttkio, dated today, says it is reported that three transports of the Russian fleet, conveying a bout 2.000 soldiers, were captured by the Japanese, off the Corean coast; -: ' ' - .

An elec tric storm of great severity prevail ed here today, lasting for more than two hoars The first clap of thun der came at this afternoon, and thunder and lightning occurred at intervals at 4:30. While little dam age was done, electrical appliances all over the ' city were interfered with and many persons received electric shocks. The storm struck North Head at 10 a. m., but did not reach Astoria for four hours. At North Head last night fully two inches of rain fell, but there was scarcely any precipi tation in this city. The electric storm had a singular effect on the government barometer in the local weather office, the record of wbich during the prevalence of the storm was of a ziz-zag character. ' During the storm lightning struck a tree near the residence of William Greenlund, on the hill side and sev eral windows in the house were broken. Mr. Greenlund, who was inside the residence, was knocked down by the concussion and stun ned for several seconds. The only other damage renorted is the burn ing of fases on tbe telephone lines and about 200 telephones were put out of business temporarily. Tonight a high wind prevails and indications are that a heavy storm will rage for the next twenty four hours. Several vessels are still weather bound at tbe mouth of the river. Forest Grove, Or., Feb. 10. Mrs. Thomas Rodgers, of this place received a letter from Wheatland yesterday, saying that 'the Holy Rollers, of Corvallis fame, are now located at Bill Isbam's, on a little island near that town. Residents at Wheatland say they are disturb ed most all the night with their nonsense, which causes them to sleep so late of mornings that they, the residents cf Wheatland,' are un able to get their children to school in the forenoon.
