"Back of Hood Iliver there are a few rather lawless people," remarked Game Warden Quiuihy this morning. Mr. Quimby has just returned from The Dalles, where he was investigating some alleged violations of the game law. "These people," continued the official, "are very impudent and say that it is not healthy for a game officer to go in there. There is a partv of men who fiave been killing elk, and a deputy is now upon their trail who will continue hib investigations, despite the threats of the toughs of that locality. It is con tended that they simply kill the elk for food, but these animals are protected by law for the nest ten years, and cannot be killed for food or for any other pur pose. I have informed my deputy not to tile information unless he Ins positive To the Stiller on the "Overlap of the Northern 1'itcijic liailroad Company: The Kastern Oregon Land Company hereby desires to give notice to all con cerned, as follows : That, at tho October term, 1S99, of the supreme court of the United States, the cases ot the lvtern ureson i.aml Uom panv against E. 1. Messinger and John 1). Wilcox were decided,( January S, 1900) in favor of this company; that any further question as to the title to the lands included in the grant to the Dalles Military Koau Company, is Tuerebv finally settled. This controversy forced upon the com pany through the ruling of the interior department ot the government, lias oeen long and expensive, both to the settlers and the company, and has worked a serious injury to "ail. We havo under stood that there is as is quite natural some anxiety prevalent as to the policy that the company intends to pursuu. In response to this feeling, we hereby declare that it is our purpose to do exactly right to adopt and carry out a policy that will afford no fair or honest man the slightest pretext upon which to found a grievance. No man who wants to treat the company with justice, or who desires to respect the laws cf the land, shall have cause for complaint. The Eastern Oregon Land Company will make no unjust exactions or de mands upon settlers who have hereto fore filed upon the lands, but will deal in a humane and liberal spirit with all who will meet us in a corresponding disposition. The company will also use its irood offices to secure, through Ore gon's representatives and the company's agents in Washington, to such of the settlers as may be entitled thereto under the law n " reimbursement of nny moneys heretofore paid by them to the government; and if to that end addi tional legislation is necessary, we will exert our best endeavors to promote it. nr agent in Oregon, Mr (j. . jlc- Nar, hss been instructed that in his tercourse with the settlers and in the djustment of the business relations with them, the piincipals set forth here in are to be absolutely observed.

He says: "I had kept adding to a cold and cough in the winter of 1S97, trying every cough medicine I heard of without permanent help, until one day I was in the drug store of Mr. Houlehan and he advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and offered to pay bad: my money if I was not cured. My lungs ant' bronchial tubes were verj sore at this time, but I was completely cured by this remedy, and have since always turned to it when 1 got a cold, and eoon find relief. I also recommend it to my friends and am glad to say it is the best of all couirh medicines." For sale by Blakeley & Houghton. 0.R.&N. DKr.VRT roit Fast Mall It: 13 p. m.
