FENCING GOVERNMENT LAND. An act of congress passed in February 3885 makes the fencing of government land a criminal offence and fixes the punishment at a line, not to exceed $1000 or imprisonment not to exceed one year. The act makes it the duty of the United States district attorney to prosecute offenders,- and the punishment applies to all connected with the work of putting up the fence. - But the case is sup'iosed of a jierson owing land so situated that by building a fence entirely on his own land he can enclose more or less government land and the question is aHked : does such a case come within the provisions of the act? Can the government destroy the ' fence or punish the man who built it? The supreme court of Wyoming had such a case before it and the court de cided in favor of the defendant. The court held that the statute so far as it forbids, as a nuisance, the erection by a person of a fence wholly within the limits of his own land, is not a legitimate exercise of the police power but an un warranted invasion of private property, and is unconstitutional and void, and that said act was not intended to forbid the erection by a laud owner of a fence wholly within the limits of his own land. In this case the fence already built had been destroyed and the judge in ex plaining the grounds of the court's de cision said : "Though my fields shall have never a rail upon it, yet my neigh bor dare not make it hie pathway with out my consent. He cannot use my land any more than he can use my horse. He cannot tramp my grass any more than he can cut my trees. The fence lieing destroyed what greater facility bf access to the government sections will the public then have than if the fence had remained? In the former case a physicial obstacle would be out of the way but a legal obstacle would remain. The former may be stepied over ; the latter present an impassible barrier. The fence is on the defendant's land. Kemove it and the land remains. Who shall go ujKn it without the owner's con sent? Shall the government descend to the plane of a trespasser? Unquestion ably a right of way can be obtained, but it must be bought and paid for in the manner prescribed for the condemna tion of lands. Moreover, the line of pathway must be described and the transit of the public limited to that line. THE INVASION BUGBEAR. There is very much good sense in the following from the Alia: Members of the next congress should not unduly worry about the defensless condition of our costs. No foreign ship has fired a hostile shot at us for seventy five years. There is no evidence that one will be fired for seventy-five years to come. If one should be fired there is no evidence that any of the contemplated coast defences would defend us. France was protected by costly frontier forts the building and equipping of which had capped the substance of her people, but Oermany walked past these forts as if they had been hay barracks. The truth is there is a great number of things we need more than coast de fenses. The policy of tbe nation together with our peculiar geographical position has kept us from foreign broils that required the arbitrament of war to settle. With all the vaunted Italian navy it appears the big war ships dare not venture across, the Atlantic for fear of going to the , bottom. We have no fears' pf hostile invasion, from , any coun try this side the Atlantic and tie strong est European i nation, will think a long time before it attempts one. The United States wants nothing from any one but what is just , and fair and as a conse quence we are not likely to get into any trouble that a wise arbitration will :not get us out of. f : ".! .. . The Dalles has not bad a fourth of July celebration for several years and me enterprising gentlemen who met the other night and took the first steps towards having one this year deserve the thanks of the community. , Let us have a rousing celebration, and one worthy of the town at the gateway of the Inland Empire. As such things are not had without money -we hope a liberal res ponse will be made to the efforts of the finance committee. That it is necessary for a man to drink liquor every day is a theory . that will hold water. Funny, isn't it that after a man has once given his word he should try so hard to keep it. LAURELS IN GER. DAN- Hon. R. S. Anderson of. Baker City, at the reception of the president the other day at; that place delivered a little speech i that if correctly reported by the Oreaou Blade shows him to be a man em: inently qualified for an important, posi tion on the staff of an evening paper that we know of. He is reported to have said : ' Mr. President, it affords me great pleasure in behalf of the mayor of this city to welcome vou here. As an evi dence of esteem in which your wise ad ministration is held by my fellow citi zens, you can see this grand convocation of our countrymen, who have met here at this late hour to pay their respects to you, as well as to the postmaster-general, the secretary of agriculture, Mrs. Harrison, and all those who accompany you. Owing to the schedule of your it ineracy time forbids me to say more. Ain't "schedule of your iiineracy" "diaphanous" to a turn? Don't it knock "congealed element" higher than (iilderoy's kite? Hon. W. I.. liradithaw. Ochoco Keview. Governor Pennoyer has certainly made no mistake in filling the office of judge of the Seventh judicial district, made vacant by the resignation of Judge Bird, in apioiiiting Hon. W. L. Bradshaw, of The Dalles, as Judge Bird's successor. Judge Bradshaw held his first term of court in this county, he having been ap pointed on Friday of last week, and pp ened court here on Monday last. In "his charge to the grand jury, his methods of disposing of business orid his ready de cisions on points of law, he has demon strated that he is a lawyer of ability, and one well fitted for the high position of honor and trust which he holds. One sitting in bis conrt would conclude from the met hodical way in which he disposes of business that he was a judge of many vears practice, and not that he was holding his first term. Judge Bradshaw is thirty-three years of age, and is a Missourian by birth, but may almost be considered an Oregonian, having come to this state at an early age. Ilia early education was obtained at the State Agricultural college at Cor vallis, after which he attended the law school at St. Louis, Mo., where he gradu ated in 1881, since when he has prac ticed his profession at Lafayette and The Dalles. The sugar trade of the United States is the exclusive property of Spreckels and Havemeyer, and these two thrifty citizens seem to be very much pleased with the action of the government in E lacing sugar on the free list. This will e one of the cases in which the con sumer pays the tax after the tax has been removed just the same as he did before. The only difference is that he pays it so Havemeyer and Spreckels now instead of to the government. The lib erality of our government in offering a bounty for home grown sugar has elicited considerable comment and argument, btit it is a very insignificant matter com pared with the liberality of turning over the tariff revenue upon sugar to Have mever and Spreckels. Great is the lib erality of the sweet-toothed American' people. Ashland Tidings. Baby is sick; The woeful expression of a Des Moines teamster's countenance showed his deep anxiety was not entire ly without cause, when he inquired of a druggist of the same city what was best to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne cessary for him to say more, his counte nance showed that the pet of the family, if not the idol of his life was in distress. "We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," was the druggist's answer. "I don't like to give the baby such strong medicine," said the teamster. You know. John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug gist. "His baby, when eighteen months old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and drank the whole of it. Of course it made the baby vomit very freely but did not injure it in the least, and what is more, it cured the ba by's cold. The teamster already knew the value of the Remedy, having used it himselt, and was now satisfied that there was no danger in giving it even to a baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly. . A short time ago rock from the hill opposire Rose burg was being' used in paving the streets of that city. A gen tleman who was there at the time exam ined the rock and found it contained silver as well as tracings of tin. He sur prised the people by showing them what a valuable style of pavement they were using. Investigations show that silver rock that is well worth working abounds in that vicinity, and efforts are being made to have it utilized. Oregonian. REMOVAL NOTICE. FRED DREttl & GO.
