NEW RULE FOR HUNG HarvWMM* May
The Roseburg land office has re
cently received the new rules and
regulations governing the acqui i-
tion of title to public lands under
the timber and stone law. The gist
of the new regulations is such that
all such lands applied for since Nov.
30th 1908 will« be sold at appraised
value.
The examination must be based
upon personal examination ol the
lands within 30 days before the ap
plication is filed, and it must show
the quantity, variety and value of
the timber, as estimated by the ap
plicant, and also his estimate of the
value of the land itself. At the
time of filing such application a fee
of $10 must be paid.
Under the
old regulations this fee was paid at
time of proof.
The method of ob
taining title now is thus set forth:
“Any qualified person may ob
tain title under the timber and stone
law by pertorming the following arts,
(a) Personally examining the land
desired; (b) presenting an applica
tion and sworn statement, accom
panied by a filing fee of $10; (c)
dejxjsiling with the receiver the ap
praised price of the land; (d) pub
fishing notice of his application and
proof; (e) making final proof.”
If the government does not make
an appraisal within nine months af
ter the filing of the application for
the land, the applicant may buy at
his own appraisal by depositing the
money within 30 days after the ex
piration of the nine months and
making final proof in due time. The
proof after government appraisal of
the land is a very simple matter,
consisting merely of a short affidavit
of the applicant. Proof upon the
applicant’s appraisal is made upon
the forms herefore used, consisting
of testimony of the applicant and
two advertised witnesses.
A General Port Law.
A letter from one of the members
of the committee appointed by the
Governor to prepare a bill for a
general port law say that the com-
mittee met lately in Portlmd .ind
agreed upon a bill.
There was present as members of
the committee Francis H. Clarke of
Marshfield, Peter I.oggie of North
Bend, I. B. Cushman of Acme and
J. Couch Fanders of
Portland,
Herman Wise, of Astoria, who was
also appointed on the committee,
did not appear.
The committee was in session
about five hours and the bill agreed
upon is, in the main, the bill which
was drawn by Mr. Flanders at the
request of the Siuslaw people last
fall. Only two minor changes were
m ide in regard to the original bil*.
One of the changes was in regard
to boundaries
The bill permits
each district to establish its own
boundaries provided it does not in
clude territory that drains into some
other navigable river.
The second change is in the way
of selecting the port commissioners
in each district whj will have charge
of the business pertaining to the
harbor. The new bill provides that
the first commission shall be ap
pointed by the governor instead of
by the circuit Judge as the bill was
first drawn.
The bill will be introduced in the
senate by Senator Chase, of Coos
County, and in the house at the
same time by Hon. L. E. Bean of
Lane county.
It is thought that it
will be passed by the legislature,
quickly, as there are so many places
along the coast that want a law of
this kind, and it will not in any
way interfere with those places that
do not wish to take advantage of its
provision.- News.

Washington, Jan.
«8—Walter
Lyon, secretary of the Marshfield,
Ore., Chamber of Commerce, is
here to urge an appropriation for
Coos Bay. He has presented to the
rivers and harbors committee, among
other matters, a statement by Wil
liam H. HolabirdtoE. H Harriman
whom Harriman sent to look over
the ground and report on the traffic
possibilities of a branch road from
Drain to Coos Bay.
Holabird was
highly optimistic, saying: “Th •
harbor is one of the best on the
coast. When the channel is deepen
ed by lengthening the jetty it will
have thirty feet of water at even
high tide.”
Holabird’s repoit was given to
Lyon by Harriman on Lyon’s ur
gent request. Holabird really paints
a highly colored picture of the won
derful resources along the line from
Drain to Coos Bay, mentioning the
cedar and fir as the “best on earth.,’
He says coal underlies 1,500
square miles, “one acre of which is
equal to 18,750 cords of wood.”
* *The country is too rich in na
tural resources to be kept down,”
Holabird says.
The fact that Harriman gave out
the Holabird report, is accepted
by many here as meaning that he
purposes building and that Harri
man now believes the road would
pay interest on $5,000,000, which
he said to the Marshfield people
would warrant him in constructing
it.

Its Various Uses Sat Forth by a Man

Shut Him Up.
The owner of a few houses in one
of London’s poverty stricken streets
had difficulty at times in getting his
rents in or tenants out. One Mon
day morning he called at a house
where the tenant was a bit behind
and, as usual, had to swallow the
old, old story of “only just started
work.” In the afternoon the prop
erty owner went to see a big cricket
match between two prominent
clubs, and who should he meet on
the ground but his backward tenant.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
«aid the irate landlord. “You can’t
