Wfcat li Your Name 7 poor deluded individual writ ing from this place and published o the Daily Oregonian of the 10th and who signs himswlf A Friend to Schools,1' who attempts uoder that decilful nondeplume to abuse the "Stale Board of school land Commis sioners" for the system adopted by them ucder which they loan the school tunds has not learned that the fund at Salem became so far exhaus ted mora than two weeks ago that the board were compelled to refuse a lot of good loans for lack of funds, and instead of their system of valu ation, ot laad and examination ot titk driving borrowers awayfrom it that there are twice as many borrow era as there are funds to loan. These would be Philanthropists who rush into nondeplume newspaper notoriety fearing to sign their proper names, are generally actuated by moie sel fish motives than friendship to schools. If they had the manhood to sign their real names to such com munications they might be detected as being in the interest of some per son who had failed in imposing in adequate security or a defective title 0o the board as security for a loan. The system adopted by the pres ent board is the same as pursued dur ing Gov. Thayer's administration. The system then worked well in pro tecting the fund aud preventing loss to it and for that reason the present board continues the same system. Yet there are a class of individuals who do not appreciate that kind of a system because it is not liberal spougfa. They long for the tjood old times of liberality wj Grover administration c public school hinds of t landas fre toap tejH preserves J:e4 VUh S .13 . ' .1 ...na- gouu uiu times aicy "ipnucii covet depleted that saerjJMu iUl under Mr. Grove's adftWstratiou about $400,000, J&yWlike his system ofdoiag tbitigs acd they generally despise tin administration which followed and tine present one for their economy and safety to the public funds. Asarnleth;s class of individuals act as if they imagine that the school fund is created for them and they exhibit a sudden and continued dislike tor any officer who will not take their dictum as to the value of their land aud the condition of their titles and who will not per mit them to get their fingers on the fond immediately and take about whatever security they see proper to offer. Under the present system of valueing lands for security to school loans and examination of title in this county during the aTl ministra tion. of Gov. Thayer, Earhart and Hirsch, an examination of title was bad to certain lands which had pre viously been given for a loan of $1003 to the school fund, and it was found that the legal title to the land was in a man who had lived in Califor nia for several years and the party who gave it for security simply had the possession and" no legal title Whatever. An application had pre. viously been sent to Salem to the board at another time for aloan with certificate that the party desiring le .loan was the owner in fee simple of certain land. A subse quent examination ot the title re sulted in ascertaining that the party laving the legal title was in another person all together and he lived up sear Walla Walla, We might go ahead and recount dozens of instances ot similar resuttB which were only discovered by the most thorough examination of title and in every instance the parlies were resting under the belief that their titles were the most perfect. The Letter retired to was certainly either written by some one who lit--tie understands what he was writing about or else he was purposely in tending to deceive the public, be cause it is almost wholly made up of ujstatemeats and falsehoods. If this party js really a friend to the schools V he pretends to be be should favor the schools by supporting his state iaenta,arxth nis true signature so that die people can judge of his motives. And we believe that every honest man when assailing the management f public s$&it if bis motive are pure will come out in broad day light and support his opinions with the presence of his countenance and not bide himself in darkness behind a nondeplume. The board were in formed as much as a year or two ago by the presenfc examiner of titles for this county that if there was any person here who would do the work of examining the value and titles to the land for school loans so as to bet ter advance the interests of the fuuds the present incumbent would step down and out at any time. But a to examining the lilies and valueing the lands and making the certificate required, which virtually amounts to warranting the titles, the present in cumbent of this county will not per form such duties for any trilling sum to be dictated by parties whose mo tives are to get their long bony fing ers into the fund, and whose lis plensure is occasioned simply because they can not accomplish such an un worthy object. The school funds in Benton county are not suffering and under the present management no loans have been made but what can be called in at any lime after they arc due, and the interest is paid promptly and no such things can be said of those made prior to that time. Under the present management such loans are made in the interests of the fund and not particularly in the in terests ot the borrower. In former years during those good old times such loans were generally made in the interests of the borrower and that is what poor Nasby and the rest of the people at the cross roads lent; to see again. PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION. The following are some of the principal poinls contained in the bill which passed th U. S. Senate last week on the subject of presidential succession in the case of the death of the one elected to till that position: The bill to provide for the office of president, in case of removal, death, resignation or inability of both pres ident and vice president, passed the senate to-day. It enacts that in the case-orre'moval, deathresignation or ity of both president and vice nt'sident of the United States, the ecretary ot state, or if there is none, r in case of his vemoval, death, res- oifb inability, then another cabinet officer, in the order of pre cedence, viz: secretary of the treas ury, secretary of war, attorney gen eral, postmaster general, secretary of the navyj secretary of the interior, -shall act as president until the dis ability is removed, or until the va cancy is otherwise filled, such officer being eligible to the office of presi dent under the constitution, and not under articles of impeachment by the house of representaiives, at th time the powers aud duties of the office shall devolve upon him, provided that whenever the power and duties of the president of tie United States snail devolve upon any of the per sons named, if congress be not then in session, or if it would not meet regularly within twenty days there after, it shall be the duty of the per son upon whom said powers and duties shall devolve to issue a procla mation convening congress in ex traordinary session, giving twenty days1 notice of the lime of meeting. Sec 2. That the proceeding see lion shall only be held to describe and apply to these officers, who shall be appointed by advice and consent of the senate to offices therein named. Sec. 3. That section 146 of the revised statutes be hereby repealed. J. F. Olmstead unlike most roev, his modesty compelled him to de cline a nomination tendered him. by the president as commissioner for the district of Columbia. A riot occurred In Doublin recent ly where police and marine were mobhed. A Rochester N. i"., a Chinaman was naturalized who came from Canton 20 years ago. A hot contest for the SenatOrship is going on in Nebraska. Destitution is the subject ot much complaint in some parts of Ireland. It is claimed that Russia is en deavoring to make war with Austria. One consolation if they don't behave it may raise the price of American wheat. Butler of Massachusetts, is very much exercised in preventing Hoar from being elected to the United Slates Senate. Lincoln is crowded with people from all over the state excited over the Nebraska senatorial contest. It is sid that Representative Co of New York, will likely be a dem ocratic candidate for speaker of the house. THE MURDERER'S CONFESSION. For the mnrder ct E. H. Cummins the O. R. N. Cos. agent at New York Bar, W. T., last summer, Canady Owenby who was recently tried for the offense which resulted in a hung jury after which Owenby made a confession in which ho implicated Ezra Snodderly and J. M. McPher son who were examined before J us tice ot the Peace L. D. Drake, at Dayton, gW. T-, and were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. In Owenby's confession he also implicated Johnson Porter formerly of this place, on the ground that MePherson had told him that he had to give Porter $200 for a pistol and to keep h'.s mouth 6hut. This will be taken down as being very thin by most people in and about Corvallis who have known Johnson Porter during the last several years. At least they will wait very anxiously for some proof more creditable than lha bare statement of those murder ers before they will believe that young Porter was implicated in the affair. Young Porter grew up to manhood in and about Corvallis and was known as a quiet inoffensive aud industrious boy until a few months ago when he went lo V. T., where he has been in business with a couple ot his uncles. Ii, is contrary to the very nature of things for a boy of this kind to step suddenly into the commission of the worst of crimes. Hardened criminals do not become so suddenly, but on the contrary they are made so step by step by degrees from bad to worse until the worst be comes of them. When last here Porter was engaged with his uncle lo work in the warehouse as be had been for years before steady and industrious aid to think now that he has changed from that kind of life in the short space of five or six months to entering into murderous conspira cies with condemned criminals to murder his fellow men for money is certainly contrary lo all human experience and revoking to human nature. And then again it is under stood that young Porter was in easy circumstances and did not need money but had plenty ot his own. AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. A western lawyer is engaged in preparing an amendment to the constitution, which will be offered for congressional action this session, that will make it possible for citizens of any slate to bring suit against any other state. This amend ment is being prepared at the in stance of holders ot state bonds is sued by stales, such as Tennessee, which have endeavored to repudiate their obligations, and the gentleman who has it in charge says the Ten nessee delegation in congress aro in favor of such action. The proposed amendment contemplates the resto ration of the condition of affairs prior lo the adoption of the lllh amend ment to the constitution in 1878, when citizens could bring suit against any stale but their own. In answer to some questions pro pounded by us a tew days ago to the state board of school land commis sioners in regard to a loan, the sec retary replied to our queries in the following language, lo wit: "The Board may loose a tew good loans but there are plenty of others. The Board could loan a million of money at the present rates. Money o mortgages is worth a little more than 8 per cent now and will con tinue to advance until there is some change in the law fce." ; We simply qiiote the above to show that what we have said in re gard to the untruthfulness of those pretended public spirited, quacks who are entering into newspaper correspondence and denouncing the management of school loans . when their object is due to disappointment becanse Ihey cam get their fingers on the fund on their own terms and. they rush into print and announce that a "Daniel hath come to judge ment," aud other titles over different nondeplumes. The winter in England has so far been unusually mild and moist. Jen nings, the London correspondent of the New York World, writes that "the primroses are blossoming in the country and the thrushes singing just as if it were spring." But there has been a deluge of rain, a constant down-pour, which has swollen the rivers above their banks and placed all the lowlands under the water. This uncomlortable drenching has extended to the continent, especially to Germany, Eastern France and Northern Italy, where the rivers have risen to flood height, and there has been great destruction of pro perty aud considerable loss of life. MEXICAN TREATY. There are thirty-two articles of import from Mexico which aro pro posed to be admilted free of duty in to the United Stales. Of these, 24 are already on the free list and six are not articles produced in our country.' Only two in the list sugar and tobacco are products of the United States. In return for -these the Mexican government proposes to admit free of duty all hardware, wools and machinery adapted to the mining and agriculture. It is said that Mex ico produces only about one fourth the amount of sugar necessary for home consumption. The potato crop of 1881 wasagener al'faijure throughout the United States and the price of tubers rose to such a height that it Was found profitable to import them in considerable quan tities from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Scotland and Ireland. But it is not probable any one had an idea of the magnitude of the business. The books of the Customs Bureau, however, show that nearly nine mil lions ot bushels were imported during the last fiscal year, their value being $4,500,000, and the duty on them $1 18,476. It is almost incredible that in a country of such vast terri tory as the United Slates, and with a soil and climate unsurpassed for the growing of this edible, we should be put to the necessity of importing rline million bushels of potatoes in a single year. Ii will be remembered that Presi dent Arthur, in his annual meesage, urged upon Congress the considera tion of Civil Service Reform, and pledged himself in advance to sup port any reasonable plan for such re form. The bill, which has passed the Senate, will afford him ail op portunity lo redeem his pledge. So much will depend upon the disposi tion of the-Executivo to give effi ciency lothe plan that it is "ratify ing In know that the President re gards it witli favor, and will strive to make it a success. The commissioner ot public works says that the city of Chicago used dining the year 24,150,000,000 gal lons of water, equal to a canal twenty feet wide, ten feet deep, from New York lo San Fr.incisco. A frame structure, 600 feet Ions and 50 feet wide, belonging to M Kee &, Fuller, car manufacturers, at Allentown, Pa., fell under the weight of snow on the roof. Several cars and engines in the building were ruined. Loss, $120,000. HORRIBLE FIRE AT MILWAUKEE, WIS. A Six story Hotel Born3 to the Ground One Hundred Lives Lost In the Terrible Conflagration. On Wednesday of last week at abont 3:47 in the morning, the alaHR of fire was given aud . was found that the Newhall house was on fire. By the time general alarm could be-given the whole south fiont of the building was in flames. So rapidly did the fire spread that about one hundred of the unfortunate inmates perished in the flames or were killed in attempting an escape. -The scene in th9 alley west of the burn ing building was sickening. As early as six o'clock the bodies of seven unfortunate wait er girls were stretched upon the snow and ice, with broken limbs, writhing in agony until death ended their sufferings. After almost superhuman efforts ladders were stretched from the roof of the bank to the sixth story of the hotel, and the brave fire laddies carried ten girls across tho frail bridge, four of them dead. The telegraph wires inclosing the building on the south and east sides played sad havoc with those who made the frightful leap for life. Several bodies were fairly cut in two by the wires, and the torn and bleeding forms would drop to the ground. Others would hit the wires cross ways, rebound and be hurled to, the ground with a dreadful crash. To the unfortunate waiter girls, all lodged in tbe sixth story and attics, the saddest lot has fallen. Of the sixty young girls only eleven were heard from alive as late as yes terday evening. It is feared the estimate of fifty lives lost, as formed yesterday njorn ihg, Islar too low, and fully double that number are burned or smothered to death in the blazing fire. ' Since the fire, intense excitement prevail ed and workmen have beeu busy removing the debris and taking out the charred re mains of the unfortunate victims. Nearly all of whon cannot be recognized from what remainedof them. Wm. McKenzie, a night watchman at the hotel makes the following important state ment: On the night of the fire I made my rounds as usual, visitiug tbe different lodg ing doors and basement rooms, and saw nothing unusual; observed the bar room open till two o'clock in the morning; George Schiller was there tor about three quarters of an hour; after I had been to tbe wood room, about 2 A. M., and in opening the door leading to the bar-room, I saw that place still occupied; at a later hour I ran the elevator down o the bottom landing to take up a gentleman who came from the bar; at 3:30 o'clock in the morning T. B. Elliott came on late train; I was in tbe office; he asked me if the elevator was running. I told him J would take him up, and did so, letting him oat at the third floor; then went up to-the top floor, taking a railroad conduc tor up from the third to that floor; I looked round the halls and got into the elevator to go down; this was a few minutes past 3:30 A. M. ; as I got into the elevator I noticed a very little smoke; I immediately started down to see where it came from; by the time I reached the office floor tbe smoke was so dense I could go no further in the eleva tor; throwing open the door I rushed out and started for the stairs, shouting to the night clerk that there was fire below and I was going to see about it; by the time I reached the bottom of the elevator shaft the smoke was so dense and stifling I knew something must be done; call to the engineer who was in the engine room; told him to rouse the servants; then I started back to awaken the people; by the time I reached the first floor above the office, aud had rap ped at Mr. Crammer's door, the heat crack ed the glass doors to the elevator, and in a moment afterwards tbe flames poured out. I then rushed into the bank building and aroused as many lodgers in that portion as I could. Afterwards 1 rendered what help I could in raising the people. I hardly know what to say about the commencement of the fire, but know it caught at the bot tom of the elevator, and not the upper floors. There was nothing anywhere around the elevator thafcould burn so quickly, and at half past three o'clock there was no smoke in the elevator. Either Elliott or myself would have noticed it. After the smoke was observed there was sorcely time to do anything before the whole thing was ablaze. It might have caught in one of the shops in the basement that back up to the bottom of the elevator, but on the bottom floor of the hotel part there was nothing that could possibly born that way, and that could have been smouldering through out the night. This is shown by the fact that so many were around until such a short time before tho actual blaze occurred . I ,don't know that the fire was incendiary, but there is a very queer look about it." Nearly a week since the fire and the wildest reports of tho first day are fully re alized. Up to 6 o'clock on the night of the 16th, 28 bodies were recovered, and three more were found to-day bv noon. All the girls in the laundry doubtless were strug gling to reach the passage out into the bank building when the flames and smoke stopped them. G eo. Schiller, lessee of the bar of the New hall house was arrested last Tuesday on suspicion of having set fire to the hotel. SUMMONS.

A circus at St. Petersburg caught fire and burned last Saturday from the earless hand ling of fire afms. The audience of 800 rushed to the front door which opened in wards. The crowd pressed forward and it could not bo opened. They then made for tho two side doors, but both were nailed up, compelling the people to take to the win -dows, from which many sprang into the streets with their clothes a sheet of flames. The fire brigade arrived within half an hour, but it was impossible to extinguish the flame3, as the water in the tanks was frozen. The fire lasted two hoars. Au eye witness states that when the doors was finally open ed a mass of burning persons were visible within. The horses of the circus were all destroyed. The circus was a wooden struc ture. The horses running about wildly in creased the confusion. It is stated now that 400 persons were suffocated, crushed or burned to death. The ice broke while the fire brigade was crossing the river, thus preventing them from reaching the fire more promptly. It is estimated 90 men, 120 women and 60 children lost their lives. The yijtims include the colonel of police and vice pres ident of the Berditscheif bourse. The au dience consisted mainly of Jews. Another account says the fire was caused by a groom having thrown a lighted ciga rette on the straw in the st .bles, setting it on fire. Another groom tried to stamp out the fire, but a strong draught fanned the flames and caused them to spread. The author of the fire perished, also two clowns, believed to be Englishmen. Yesterday a man, whose wife and three children are among the' victims, stabbed a senior member of the merchants' guild in the street and then tried to cut his own throat. It is supposed the murdered man abandoned the assailant's wife and children in order to effect hi3 own escape from the building. ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
