Roasted by His Colleagues.

tlon waa openly precipitated in the
Trans-MlsBissippl Congress this morn'

here as the agent of the meat trust,
and his address was an effort to get
the trust's side of the case before the
public at the expense of the congress
and seemingly with its indorsement.
The Question was hotly debated Tor
an hour and Thurber was severely
criticized both for his present action
and for his connection with the sen
ate sugar scandal.
Finally the whole matter of the
trusts was left to the resolutions
committee.

BUYING SCHOOL LANDS.

Empire Aug. 21. Ever since tho an
nouncement that tho construction of
the long, proposed railway to Coos
Bay would bo commenced within a

rush to purchase the school lands of
Coos county. At present 1 every acre
of unlocated school lands within 35
miles of Coos Bay has been taken and
eager speculators are anxiously look
ing for more.
Some of the land may prove value
less as an income producer, but in
tho rush for land the buyers took
everything that was offered, and as
the land cost but $1.25 per acre' the
loss cannot be very much, should the
land prove absolutely worthless. In
Currey county there has also been
quite a rush for lands and nearly all
the school land of value has boon pur
chased. Tho same is reported of the
timber lands of Lake, Kalamah and
Crook counties.
Much of tho school land of Coos
county has been bought up in anticl
pation of the establishment of a for
est reserve in this section, as tho
minute tho reserve is created those
lands inside Its boundaries become
of value, as they can bo used as re
serve scrip for tho selection of lieu
lands. '
