'. The Spal ling land contests have been appealed by the Spaldlogeto the department of the interior. The latter, it will be remembered, to the number of four, filed homesteads on a section of 1 md in tbe vicinity of the Coon saw mill. Contests were : presented against each cf the filings by residents of Philomath, including Henry Ambler, G. W. Davis and Mr. Burnap. . A late decision at the Oregon City land office was adverse to the Spaldipgs, and they have appealed the cases to tbe Interior department. - On the advice ot their attorneys, tbe Spaldings ex pect to move at once on the land and remain there until tbe cases are final ly decided. It is probable tta' the smart ed! tor ot the Lebanon Criterion would like to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after him. It was he who, with assumption ot superior knowledge said tbat religious reformers in all ages had been the objects cf persecu tion. He held Josh Oreffleld up as a persecuted and much abused man. He said there were things in Corvallis be side which Oreffleld and Brooks were as pufe gold to sounding brass, or words to tbat effect. It now -develops tbat Creffleld, urder the cloak of religion, pursued a life ot lust. Thir teen husbands in Portland are clam oring for vengeance and the bogus 'a poetle is a hunted criminal, with cer tain knowledge that he will go straight to the penitentiary fcr many a year If he is caught. His: crimes are worse than that of the rapist negroes, who are lynched and burned tor their, vil lany. Beside' bim, Outlaw Tracy is a geutlema". Yet thl-f Criterion man is Josh Crf ffield's apologist and defend er. Since it is his taste, let him con tinue to bug Josh Creffleld to his bosom, and to criticise Corvallis peo ple for disliking the bogus eaint. A new department in the Criterion, en titled the "Etblcs cf Free Love" and presided over by Josh CtefBeld, would be a fitting arrangement under the cir cumstances.
