While tho 'Venus of Mllo" and tho
Apollo nro works of sheer beauty,
tho "I.aocoon" has tho majesty of
terror. You may see a very won
derful picture of tho sculpture In
"Tho Mentor" for this week, and
read also tho brilliant and authorita
tive comment by Prof. J. C. Van
Dyke, of Rutgers College.
No one knows who modeled tho
group; but, out of tho mists that
clouded human activity before history
began, has come the story It perpet
uates. It belongs to tho time when
vnucii k)VJtifi iuivii iiiu uuiiii in ju; - i
ous unkcdncHs, with occasional dl-j
vuiniiiu in, inu i ui in in uiuuuy ven
geance. I.mxoon played a part In about
the best known incident In tho Ho
meric epic, tho drawing Into Troy of
the wooden horse. I.aocoon was u
priest of Apollo and an Important
man In Troy; but he didn't have in
fluence enough to prevent his follow
citizens from bringing In that wood
en horse, which was filled with sol
diers, as you iemombcr, nnd resulted
In tho downfall of Troy, after a
slego of ten years.
Tho legends nil seem to ngrco that
I.aocoon turned from Apollo to Nci i -
tune, even going so far ns to offer
n bullock In sacrifice to the sen god.
When ho wns prepnrlng tho sacri
fice two fearful serpents were seen
swimming toward tho Trojan coast
from Tenedos. Tho monstrous rep
tiles rushed straight toward I.nocoon
nnd his two sons. Tho pcoplo took
flight in terror; but the priest and
the youths remained standing by the
altar of their god.
Tho-serpents first colled round the
two boys and then round their fath
er. In tho Btntuo you will seo tho
younger son, thinking only of him
self, fighting for his llfo, while tho
head of tho serpent Is nlrcndy fast
ened in his side. The older fon shows
in nis nice the emotions Hint rend
his soul, tho paralysis of fear and
his awe at the awful fate of his
father. Tho mighty old mnn is strug
gling with nil his magnificent
strength, splendidly, hopelessly.
.Most of us nssoclnto Apollo with
an Ideal of manly beauty, with nrt,
with music. Ho is known ns the
patron of nrt, of healing. He was
tho father of Aesculapius, who wns
tho father of medicine. Indeed,
about seven different activities were
attributed to this son of Jupiter, but
first of all ho wnB known nB tho god
who punishes. That 1b what his
name really means.
Laocoon was undoubtedly n priest
of Apollo, nnd it was tho net of a
traitor for him to turn to Neptune.
Ono talo declares that I.nocoon had
defied the expressed will of Apollo
by mnrrylng nnd begetting children.
Other dolvcrs into mythology
maintain that I.aocoon and his two
soiib were not victims of Apollo but
of Noptuno. They hold that Neptune,
being bitterly opposed to tho Tro-
jansl wanted to show thorn, In tho
persons of I.aocoon and his sons, tho
fato that nil of them deserved. Tho
fact that tho sorpontB were under tho
control of Neptune nnd not Apollo
Is cited to support this version of
tho talc.

Invention of Marshfield Man
Attracts Much Attention
at Portland Now.
The Portland Telegram prints tho
following concerning n remnrknhlo
gas engine which T. K. Hrnwshnw,
of the llrm of llrndshaw & Kimball,
of .Marshfield. hns perfected:
"Thomas F. IlratlBhnw, machinist,
of Mnrshllcld, has Invented a gaso
line engine, which Is a tlcpnrturo
from the present' typo nnd which
can be adapted to the automobile
or any form of vohiclo propollcd
by motor power. Tho fenturo of
the now engine Is a rotary valvo,
which will eliminate 10 parts In n
lour-cyiinucr engine.
"My engine will bo ns noiseless
ns the electric motor," snys Mr.
Ilradshaw. "U borders on the gen
eral results of tho Silent Knight
motor, which runs through the head
of the cylinder In a chamber that
Is reamed out with elenrnnce enough
to allow for lubricating.
"With practically eight moving
parts to the valvo, ns compared
with ICO to 200 pnrts of the poppet
valvo type, tho simplicity In manu
facture and maintenance win be no
ticeable. "For ninrino purposo Is Incorpor
ated an absolute positive reversing
engine, the starting of which may
bo performed by nlr or electricity.
Under nctlon brake test my engine
snows 25 per cent greater efficiency
tlinn tho present types, the rotnry
valve eliminating many of tho com
plications." Mr. llradshnw says this now en
glno will climlnnto 2G per cent of
uunecessary weight without destroy
ing efficiency, and enn bo produced
for 50 per con less than the gen
eral typo.
While tho englno wns being mod
eled, someone broke Into his siiop
nnd Binnshed It. However, he suc
ceeded In getting tho pnrts together
and hns applied for pntcuts; others
nro pending.
Mr. Ilradshaw has been working
to produce such nn englno for somo
time, mid Is very optimistic over
his new Invention. Ho says his am
bition Is to perfect nn englno that
will be adaptable to ocean liners
nnd to that end ho will direct his
energies.
This new typo of engine Is being
displayed at tho Mitchell, Lewis &
Staver garage, Hast Morrison street.

THE decision of Federal Judge
Wolvorton at Portland Tues
day whereby tho Government
won Its contention rogardlng tho O.
& C. land grnnt that hns boon ln
controversy for tho past flvo years,
presages n completo ultimate victory
for tho people. Tho development
of Oregon hns been rotnrded by the
tying up of theso thousands of
acres In t.ie various counties In
which tho granted lands nro locat
ed, and tho speedy termination of
tho stilt Is n mntter to bo hoped
for by tho general public. Follow
ing this decision on tho part of tho
Federal Court, tho nttornoys for
tho dofonted rallrond comnnnv will
nppeal to tho United States Court
ui iiicniB, nnu wnntevor tno ver
dict thero, tho case will undoubted
ly find Its way to tho Supromo
Court of tho United Marcs. Tho
action of tho nttornoys In waiving
nrgumont would Indicate that tho
railroad company has concluded not
10 unnecessarily delay mnttcra, but
to run tho gnmut of tho courts as
speedily as possible. It Is expected
thnt the Court of Appeals will tako
action not later than October, nnd
while tho Supremo Court moves with
a good deal of deliberation, tho
case Bhuuld bo finally disposed of
n year later.
In directing thnt a decreo bo en
tered forfeiting tho lands to tho
United Stntes, Judge Wolverton said.
"Tho railroad company has sub
mitted this case without argument.
Tho vital question In tho caso is In
reforenco to tho conditions that
were Imposed by tho Government at
tno time tho grant wns mnde.
"Thnt condition was that, the lnmt
should bo sold to actual Bottlers at
$2.50 an ncre. At tho tfmo tho de
murrer wnB tnkon up It was argued
ably and exhaustively. At thnt time
1 proceeded to consider nil tho ques
tions presented,
"I understood that tho nttornoys
nro not questioning tho soundness
of tho decision nt that tlmo and that
tho only considerations nt this tlmo
nro questions of fnct.
"I do not bollovo that It Is now
necessary for tho court to entor
Into nn extended Investigation of
the testimony thnt has been taken.
"The vital qucatlon now Is an to
the conditions of the grant. Coun
sel on both Bides havo stipulated
us to theso facts:
"That from 180G to 1903. tho
Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany sold nnd disposed of somo of
Its lands to persons not actual set
tlors In qunntltlcB exceeding 160
ncros. In several Instances tho
company sold lands In quantities
from 1000 to 20,000 acres at '
prices of from $5 to $20 per acre.
In one Instnnco $3C nn aero was
paid, nnd In nnother instnnco 45,
000 ncres was Hold at $7 an acre.
"It wan further stipulated by at
torneys for both sides ns to tho
fnct thnt Jnnunry 1 tho railroad
withdrew from sale all lands of the
grant. Sinco Jnnunry 1, 1903, per
sons exceedingly 4000 In number
applied to tho railroad company to
purchaso unsold hinds, such claim
ants to bo homesteaders. They
woro willing to pay $2.50 an acre.
After Jnnunry 1, 1903, tho company
refused nnd still rofuscs to sell
tohso lands, claiming that all of
them aro essentially Umber lando
not suited to settlors.
"If tho company violated theso
conditions of tho grant, that land
should bo forfoltcd. These stipula
tions show thnt tho company did
violate thoso conditions by selling
nt a higher rate than $2,50 an acre
nnd ln quantities largor than 100
ncres to one purchnsor. It was also
a violation in tho withdrawal.
"Theso show a clenr vlolatlpn of
tho law nnd tho company put Itself
In a position whoro tho Government
Biioiild declare that tho land Is for
feited. "Othor quostlons thnt have arisen
In this matter aro subsidiary. The
court has determined theso ques
tions on tho domurror and tho Is
sues havo not changed In tho least.
"So far as tho Union Trust Com
pany Is concornod, It scorns to the
court that tho grant of tho com
pany carrleB on Its fact what It Is.
Pcoplo In dealing with tho grant
must notlco what Its terms are. The
Union Trust Company know of theso
conditions when it assumed the
mortgage."
Since 1908, a great many applica
tions have been filed for purchase
of these lands remaining unsold, the
applicants basing their action upon
tho expectation of a decision ad
verso to tho railroad company, and
tho hope that the Qovornmont would
ordor tho original terms of the
grnnt compiled with. In this event
tho applicant would purchase the
land in tracts of not moro than 160
acres at a prlco of $2.50 por acre,
snlo to be mado to bona fide Bet
tiers only, Tho hopes of these ap
plicants nro dashed, however, un
der tho Wolvorton decision, as he
orders that tho cases of the inter
venoro, (tho appllcantB for pur
chase,) bo dismissed.
Whnt disposition the Government
will finally make of tho lands when
tho caso is finally decided Is not
known, but moro than likely they
will be opened to purchase or set
tlement ns the Inter Indian reserva
tions hnvo beon opened, either
through purchaso at a fixed price
or by lottery. Tho mothod Is not
so essontlal as the putting of the
lands to productive uses. There are
largo tracts of theso lands in Coos
and adjoining counties.
Throughout tho country great
tracts havo been held and develop
ment retarded. Tho putting of these
acres Into tho hands of Bottlers will
bo the greatest boon that can come
to Southern Orogon,
