about a mile from Sodaville In a dense
forest, where ho has established a camp.
It will be remembered he left his home
for Albany, on business, und stated that
hu would return at once. After several
weeks hud elapsed without hie putting
in an appearance, friends becume
alarmed and began to inquire us to his
whereabouts. They could find no trace
of Mr. McMullon after he left Sodaville,
A man who visited his camp Buys lie
thinks McMullon is somewhat demented
He is camping out in an isolated place
without even a tent, and is wadin
around in mud. McMullon said ho had
boon camping there for several weeks
nnd hud c:imped near Jefferson for tw
weeks, lie had not been to Albany n
reported. He has promised to relurn to
Sweet Home, where he owns a good
farm of several hundred acres, and good
house and barns. Why lie would go on
and camp like he did can only be ex
pUined hy the general supposition that
he was suffering from temporary aber
ration of the mind.

LEAK IN STATE
SCHOOL FUND
Foreclosure of Mortgages in Clackamas
County Has So Proved.
Oiacio.v Cm-, Or., Dec. 22. The Ore
gon City Enterprise has called attention
to the fact that loss to the state school
fund is occasioned by tho cost of fore
closing mortgages on account of unpaid
loans, but gives no data concerning the
matter. The records of Clackamas coun
ty shows that the State Land Board holds
ninety-five mortgages and owns sis
tracts of land acquired by foreclosure
The attorney fees on four foreclosures
made during the past two years aggregate
$f.)0. In November, 181)3, a decree of
foreclosure was ordered againpt Thomas
Charnian & Son to recover 1S00. At
this time the aecumuluted unpaid
interest on the principal was .77S, and
the attorney fee $200. In November.
189S, a decree of foreclosure was enteied
aisaitiBt George l'hieler to recover $2000
The taxes and costs paid by tho board
amounted to $122.02, and the attorney
fee $200. A foreclosure suit sale against
David 1,. McLane et al., to recover $250
wbs confirmed in April, 1900. The at
torney fee was $50. In the forclosure
proceedings against D. W. Howard et al.,
the principal of the mortgage was $5173.17
and before the board could secure it clear
title to the land, after bidding in the
property, prior judgment amounting to
a total of $988.20 had to be paid off. Peo
pie who live in the vicinity of this prop
erty, near Canby, BBeert that the land
cannot oe soiu lor wuat it cost to secure
it, and the state school fund will be the
loser.
A prominent resident of this place who
is familiar with moiiey-loauinc says that
in many instances when the rate of in
terest on Echool funds was reduced from
b to b per cent tne old mortgages were
cauceled and the unpaid accrued interest
added to a new principal and mortgage.
It is not believed, however, that Gordon
E. Hayes, the State Land agent, and at
torney for Clackamas county, canceled
any of the old mortgages without the ac-
rued interest being paid in full.
A euunnonB is being printed in a local
paper in the foreclosure suit of the State
Laud Board aaainst G. B. Dimick, ad-
miuistator of the Bode estate, in which
the amount of the mortgage is $882, and
an attorney fee of $150 is aeked for.
People who have negotiated loans from
the State Land Board iu some instances
state that they were required to pp.y an
advanco fee of $50, presumably to pay
the expense of getting an abstract of the
property. Under the existing conditions
there Is really no incentive for the Land
Agent to be particular in making safe
loans, as It is much more profitable to
secure the fees allowed in foreclosure
suits, which are rarely contested by the
defendant.
ltohhtMl the (liave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
ubject, is narrated by him as follows:
'I was in u most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in buck
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
china had given me up. Fortunately, a
triend advised 'Electric Bitters'; mid to
my great joy and surprise, tho first
bottle made n decided improvement. 1
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well num. 1 know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
ictiin." No one should fail to try them.

Catarrh Cannot lie Cured,
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the diseaee. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure ie
taken internally, and acts directly on
tho blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

bill for Oregon improvements, as report
ed today, is $2,8-10,500, while Washing
ton gets but $130,000. The major portion
of the Oregon money goes to the mouth

The first draft of the bill gave the
mouth of the Columbia, aside from the
$400,000 cash, $I,SSI, 140 for the contract,
but when it was decided to cut the en
tire bill from $SO,000,000 to $60,000,000,
the subcommittee reduced this to $1,500,-
000 in order to retain other appropria
tions.
Will I'ay Scalp-ltouuty Tux.
Astoisia, Dec. 22. The county court
today instructed Treasurer Thompson to
remit to the state treasurer the scalp
bounty tax for the year 1899, amounting
to $000.34. This money lias been re
tained for some time, owing to the con
troversy arising from the fact that cer
tain counties in the state made no levy
for that purpose. The county court has
decided, however, that the tax is au
thorized by law, and has not only
ordered the 1899 tax turned over to the
state, bnt has also made a scalp-bounty
lew lor 1900.
