Purine- tha past few years ilr. As nlth has aged perceptibly. Beildea this, the expense of holding the posi tion of Premier Is arrest, and Mr. As a ilt b has a large family. Grey's reMT Op eeV Even among members who hare Ukfn part la tha campaign against Sir Kdwtrd Grey. It Is agreed that their opposition was in arrest part due to their desire to prevent him from succeeding- to tha premiership, as they ara against hla foreign policy. It la even suggested that tha formation of the Persian committee, which recently re relred W. Morgan JWhunter. the i-Treasurer-Ceneral of Persia, waa really part of th!a campaign, aa most of tha committeemen were pronounced sup portera of David Uoyd-George. Joseph Martin, the Liberal member of Parliament for tha East SL pancreas division of London, who formerly waa prominent In Canadian polltlce and now la a leader of tha extreme Radical wing In tha Commons, said In an Interview today that there waa no doubt that the majority of membera of tha Housa of Commons would view with keen dis appointment tha elevation of Fir Ed ward Orey to tha premiership. Mr. Martin waa of tha opinion that a ma jority of tha liberal membera favored Lloyd-George. Party raaaalte. "It must be remembered that politics here are entirely different from politics In the United States and Canada," Mr. Martin continued. There tha party would be consulted before tha appoint ment of a Premier, and If he were un popular a big row would be raised, jure the government doea thlnga with out consulting Its supporters, and even If an unpopular man were to be made Premier, the party would think long before upsetting the government" Earl Carrlngton today resigned tha office of Lord of the Privy Seal and tha Marquis of Crewe was. appointed to succeed him.

Iiaa created Immense interest through oat the British Isles. It Is nearly ZOO years since the Garter was conferred on a Commoner under similar circum stances Only four other Commoners have been privileged to wear the blue ribbon during the history of the Order of the Knlgn.a of the Garter. One question which awalta an an swer la whether the conferring of the Garter on Sir Edward Grey haa any relation to Viscount Haldane'a recent mission to Berlin. Another Interesting question Is whether It Is designed as a proclamation to other nations of King George's indorsement of Fir Edward Grey, or more as a rebuke to hla home office critics. Every one agreea It la a tribute to Sir Edward Grey'a rare peraonal char acter as much aa to hla diplomatic ability, and that he la fully worthy of tha historic distinction which Impiles 1hat the King and his colleagues In tha Cabinet rank htm as one of the fore most foreign ministers In British his-to-y.

Governor Discovers Apparent Dis crepancy When Land Board Min utes Bear No Record. SAXEM, Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) Whether a contract entered into be tween the State Land Board and the Deschutes - Land Company September 25, 1907, Is valid or void, is a question which Governor West is probing, fol lowing a discovery which he made this mbrnlng of an apparent discrepancy. The contract was never mentioned in the minutes of the meeting of that day and as to whether it was ever author. . h th hrd the minutes are aD- I parently silent. It was slgned by Geo. E. Chamoeriain, ran w. o.enx. Under the present law a contract, which is not authorised by the board and the authorization entered into the minutes is void. But under this law the chairman and secretary of the board are authorized to sigh such con tracts when the board directs them. The question seems to be an open one under the old law. Under the contract of September 25, 1907, the lien on the lands was fixed at $36 an acre and the company made cer tain agreements of work to be per formed. The minutes of the meeting of a later date show that the board evi dently believed that the company had violated its contract. Later in Octo ber, 1910, a supplemental contract was entered Into. It also seems to be a question as to whether the contract of October 1910, being supplemental, would be avoided by the earlier contract if the earlier contract Is found to be void, or whethur the execution of the later contract would validate the earlier contract.
