Pavis, of McCoy, Polk county, has received the appointment to West Point through Congressman Biuger Hermann, of this state, says a Portlaml exchange. There hm ii.-ea quite a contest over the uadntshin, a, number of applicants having applied for tue aupointuie:it. Mr. Davis, who received the appointment, is about "20 years of age, and was appointed on his true merits hav ing undergone a thcrough elimination, and found thoroughly competent ami tit-for the position. Regarding the appointment Con gressman Hertnauu has written the follow ing letter to a member of the hoard here: "After much reflection I have settled the matter of the cadetship by appointing Mil ton F. Davis. I have found my principal reliance on the result of your examination. Physically he was as good as any. Had the variance not been so great I might have lis tened to the (treat influence brought to bear for others, but I think in this republic a boy should stand no his own merits, and having great conlidence in the flatting of the board, I could not do otherwise than nominate the one aisown by it to be far ahead of all other competitors. I again thank you most kind ly for your aid. Yours truly. BrBGKR Hermann. This settles the case for the present. Mr. Davis will have to undergo a very critical physical and mental examination before his admittance to the school at West Point Readers will remember the board examined all ihe candidates in this city and of these reported favorably on three. Of these three Congressman Herman has selected Mr. Davis principally because of his superior standing mentally, as evinced in his examination. White Broazi liotuments. Mr. J. A. Cardwell the general agent for the State of Oregon for the White Bronze Monuments writes us saying that "he heard some reports while at Independence that "the White Bronze Monuments at our cem etery had become both rusty and blafck. " In reply to this infamous falsehood no doubt gotten up by some person who sella the worthless marble, granite and stone monu ments of the present day, which cracks, crumbles, aud decomposes within twenty or thirty years, so that it is aim is t worthless, we desire to say; that the "White Bronze Monuments" in our cemetery here, have not changed their color or appearance a par ticle since the day they were put up, over one year ago, also another of like material which we pnt up in Lee Mission Cemetery one mile east of Salem i3 in a like beautiful condition. These Monuments being made f pure zinc they will last as long as time and as long as the native zinc will in the mines from where it is dug. It is not a composition, but is made of pure zinc, hence those common liars who go around the couutry saying it will rnst or change its color should post themselves in order that they may not appear as ignoraut as?es mak ing assertions contrary to the laws of nature.

And now it appears that the bill "regula ting and simplifying proceedings in jastices courts" never passed the senate, says the Astorian, and is therefore no law, though it was "approved" by the governor and ap pears on pages 130, 137 and 138 of the sess ion laws of 1885. It is considered certain, says the Astorian, that Saunders, editor of the Benton Leader will get the Col VauOleve's place as collector of customs at Yaqninal The position is worth no less than 05 dollars a year and will prove a handsome add ition to a news paper man's income. The ocea l stea ner Bonitt came in to As toria recently from San Francisco.

Deputy United States Marshal Bnrkhardt went to Portland last week havingin charge Mr. C. M. Talbott, of Sodaville, Linn county, Oegon, who was accused of inter cepting a letter. Mr. Talbott was exam ined aud held to answer before the United States grand jury in bonds of $250, which'he will have no difficulty in securing. The histery of the case was in short as follows: Mr. A. T. Workman, now of Portland, formerly resided in Sodaville, where he had business interests. He has a lady corres pondent in Ohio, who Bent him a letter ad dressed to Sodaville, which he received in Portland July 8th, and was dated in Ohio, June 22d. The letter when received there was in an envelope addressed by the accused. Mr. Talbott explains the case by saying that some weeks ago he was requested by Mr. Workman's father to address a letter to his son in Bast Portland, aud is positive he has not opened any letter belonging to Mr. Workman. In justice to Mr. Talbott it may be said he has never before been in trouble, has an untarnished reputation and the record of a good, square man in the section where he lives. The case waa re ported to the postoftice inspector sometime ago and has been made puplic for the first time to-day. m a Indian War Veterans.

Copp's Settlers' Guide. Henry N. Copp, publisher of Copp's Set tlers' Guide is a very valuable work fur par ties who contemplate or are perfecting their title to government lauds. It costs only 25 cents and contains all valuable suggestions necessary on the subject. It shows to be erroneous many of the common ideas talked about as to the rights of settlers acquiring titles in this way. This valuable liook, on the subject of residence and cultivation, con tains the following words to-wit: "A party who enters a homestead and attempts to ac quire title thereto by going upon the laud and remaining over night once or twice in six mouths, fails te establish a legal resi dence; and where it is shown that such fail ure to comply with the provisions of the law was not the result of ignorance or of uucon trolable circumstances, the entry should be canceled." "Parties living and doing business in cities and towns can not secuie titles to public lands by occasional visits to their claims." Notice.
