MINERS VS. THE RAILROAD.
The miners and the owners of mineral
lands in Southern Oregon are much
aroused over the prospective selection of
railroad lands in that region, says the
Portland Sun. A recent decision of the
United States supreme court, in the case
of Borden vs. the Northern Pacific rail
road, holds that the secretary ot the in
terior may determine the character of
railroad land up to the time of issuing
patents to the company, but that after
patents are issued the lands are beyond
his jurisdiction, and no further hearing
to , determine the character of the land
can be had. Pursuant to this decision,
the secretary, last July, issued a cir
cular announcing that wherever a list of
railroad selections covered lands located
within six miles of any mineral entry,
claim, or location, publication should be
made for sixty days, calling upon such
mineral claimant to appear and protest
against the 'railroad selections, and in
the absence of such protest, the lands
should be adjudged to be agricultural in
character, and the patents issued accord
ingly to the railroad company. Herein,
it appears, lies the danger which the
miners claim threatens them. The de
cisions of the secretary are final, and
cannot be reviewed by the courts, and if
the miners fail to notice the publication
or make their formal protests, they may
lose their claims. Hence meetings have
been held to arouse interest in the
matter, and give notice and information
to all claimholders, so that they can go
to the local land office and make the nec
essary showing to protect their claims.
The Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany is now, through the regular publi
cation of notice, seeking patents to a
large list of lands in Jackson, Josephine
and Douglas counties, and the claim
owners must file their protests within
sixty days from October 8th. The time
is rapidly expiring, and it is feared that
many miners will neglect to make their
protests and so lose their claims. . The
grant to the Oregon & California was
thirty miles in width, and thousands of
acres of valuable mining lands are in
eluded within the limits of the grant.
There seems to be now no other way
of redress for the prospector and miner
than that mentioned above, which has
led to some adverse criticism of our !
members of congress and the officials of
the interior department..
Adverse criticism is hardly strong
enough to express the feeling in the
matter. We have long contended that
the rock on which this government will
eventually wreck is the "double stand
ard laws," one for the rich corporations, '
another for the people. Here is a case
in point. Notwithstanding the fact that
the grant to the Oregon & California es
pecially reserved all mineral lands from
the operation of the grant, the secretary
attempts to violate that law by passing,
the title of mineral lands to that com
pany. A private citizen in filing on govern
ment land must make what is known as
the non-mineral affidavit. That is, he
must swear that there are no valuable
, minerals on the land he proposes to lo
cate. This is a condition precedent,
and must be complied with by the set
tler. He must make the proof. How is
it with the corporation? The secretary
undertakes to throw the burden of prov
ing the mineral-bearing character of the
land upon the prospector if any ; and
to relieve the corporation from any re
sponsibility whatever.
The honorable secretary may allow
that ruling to stand as his idea of right
and justice ; but if he does, he violates
the law, he has sworn to uphold. We
have always looked upon the secretary
of the .interior as one of the most
upright and honorable gentlemen in
the president's cabinet; but if the'
above .ruling is allowed to stand, we
have been mistaken as to his character.
The head of the department, whoever he
may be, or whatsoever his politics,, who
undertakes to enforce that ruling, de
serves immediate impeachment.
Congress -met at noon today and the
democracy now have until the 4th of
March next to legislate as best suits it,
After that its control of the house is
gone, and the senate if not against it
will be at least not for it. There is
plenty of time to make lots of laws, but
we do not believe there is much inclina
tion to make them. The tariff will not
be further disturbed, and the only thing
of importance concerning which a battle
may occur is the financial question. It
is said that the president is formulating
a new plan for the currency, if so, that
question may lead to the eventual des
truction of our present national bank
system. The president has not given
. any intimation to congress as to when
his message will be submitted to it, and
until it is what his ideas op the currency
question are can only be guessed at. -
The Portland Universal exposition
opened fcaturdav nisrht with an atten
dance of 20,000 people and a brilliant
display ot fireworks. It is to be hoped
that it will prove a -success financially
and that the debt that has hung so
heavily on the management may be
entirely lilted. Portland's exposition is
one of the best advertisements this state
ever had, and we hope it may not again
be postponed. .
The "Ship of the Desert" Now Known to
Thrive In Cold Coantries.
According to a recent dispatch from
St. Petersburg1 the wild camel has been
discovered in large numbers in that
portion of Asia which lies between
Liobnor and Sajuy. This will dispose
of the doubts that have hitherto pre
vailed on the question as to whether
the "ship of the desert" really exists
in an untamed' condition, i From time
immemorial, says the New York Trib
une, two species of tame camel have
been in use, namely, that known as the
dromedary, with only one hump, and
found in India, Arabia and Africa,
while the one with two humps is met
with in Central Asia, Persia and the
south of Russia. Both species figure
in the sculptures of Assyria, and are
mentioned in the oldest books of the
Bible, but always as domestic animals,
and no trace exists of their being1
drafted from their savage state into
civilized life. Indeed, it has generally
been supposed that the camel never
existed otherwise than as a beast of
burden, and the few specimens of wild
dromedaries which have hitherto been
secured by travelers and hunters have
been regarded as merely some of the
domestic species that had reverted to
the freedom of barbarism. Zoologic
ally speaking1, the newly discovered
wild camel of Lobnor does not differ
widely from the domesticated animal,
except there is almost an entire lack
of hump, and' that its sagacity and
sense are developed to a most remarka
ble degree of keenness. And, whereas,
we. have hitherto been accustomed to
associate .this animal with ideas of the
torrid heat of the African and Arabian
deserts, it would appear that it thrives
nowhere so well as in the coldest por
tions of Siberia, suffering1 no inconven
ience even from the most severe win
ters, when the thermometer is many
degrees below zero. t
COMPOSING ON THE MARCH.
Melody Came to Him in the Ranks, and
It Almost Caused Trouble.
Benvenuto Coronaro, the composer,
recently published some reminiscences
in one of the Italian musical papers.
He was serving1 ence in the army,
and was ordered to take part in a long1
march. On the way a melody came to
him. He could not pet rid of it. He
heard it above the "toots" of the trum
pets nricl the beat of the drums.
Suddenly, the fear possessed him that
he might forget the melody; it was
necessary to write it down.
Taking- courage, he drew his note
book from his pocket , and began to
write. Of course he lost his place in
the ranks, and the sergeant hurried
toward him.
"Are you crazy?" he asked. "Take
your place in the company at once."
But I cannot," cried Coronaro. "J
must write this down," and he began
to whistle the tune in the face of the
nnder'officer. .
"That was too much," says the com
poser. "Me drew his sword, and was
about to strike me over the back when
the captain appeared. The sergeant
made a report, while I continued to
write. .
" 'What are you writing?' thundered
the captain. I hanJed him the note
book, which he read quickly.
lhe man is to continue writine,'
he went on. 'But ff that niece (and
he pointed to the f.Iicet of paper in my
hand) is not playe-.l bv the retimental
band to-morrow raornin'r . he will be
put in prison for eight days.' He
then pat spurs to his horse and disap
peared.
"The band played the piece on the
following da v."
When Baby was stele, we gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.

The Best Medicine.
J. O. Wilson, Contractor and .
Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas,
thus speaks of Ayer's Pills:
" Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I
ever tried; and, in my judgment, no
better general remedy could be devised.
I have used them in my family and
recommended them to my friends and
employes for more than twenty years.
To my certain knowledge, many cases
of the following complaints have been
completely and
Permanently Cured
by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third
day chills, dumb ague, bilious . fever,
sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys
pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I
, know that a moderate use of Ayer's
Pills, continued for a few days or weeks,
as the nature of the complaint required,
would be found an absolute cure for the
disorders I have named above."
" I have been selling medicine for
eij;lit years, and I can safely say that
Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction
than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J.
Perry, Spottsylvania C. H., Va.
