Tliat such enormous frauds, extend ing through a long period of years, could not have been perpetrated with out the complicity of the Land depart ment is said to be a patent fact.

Salem Overlooking an act of tho special session of the Oregon legislature in 1903, quite a number of peoplo liave gained the impression that after Janu ary l, 11)07, it will bo lawful to kill elk, and it is known that several hunt ers are planning to go to tho mountains elk hunting after that date. But tho legislature of 1 OO.'i anticipated a lapse in tho law protecting elk by enactinj: a law which extends tho protection until September 15, 1907, and after that timo vinces, also lias been summoned by the elk may be killed onlv from September lo to uetober 15, and only one in a Sea son by any person.

A cable dispatch to the Tribune from London says: It now is possible to give further details of the remarkable find of papyri as a result of the efforts of Drs. Grenfell and Hunt, of the Greco-Roman branch of tho Egypt Exploration Fund at Oxy rhynchus. The find consists of no few er than 130 boxes of papyri, ranging In date from the second century, B. C, to the sixth century, A. D. They com prise all classes of literature, Many fragments of the lost or even unknown classical works, and some most import ant fragments unknown to Christian literature. The most important find is a vellum leaf containing 45 lines of gospel which lias a variation from the authorized version. Tho subject is the visit of Jesus and his disciples to the temple of Jerusalem and their meeting there with the Pharisee, who rebukes them for their failure to perform tho necessary ceremonial of purification. In the dia logue which follows, which resembles in some respects Matthew xxiii:25, tho Pharisee describes with considerable fullness and detail tho formalities ho has observed, whereupon Jesus delivers an eloquent, crushing reply, contrast ing outward with inward purity.
