Saloin, Nov. 20.—(Special.)— The
proceedings for the creation of
100,000 acros of “ base” in Eastern
Oregon, mode through the Oregon
ian dispatches from Baker City, dis
close the further fact that the State
of Oregon has entered upon a policy
of attempting to avoidits own deeds
by using, as "base, ’ lands which it
has already sold. If the state shall
continue its present course regard
ing mineral base, titles to hundreds
of tracts of school lands heretofore
sold hy tho state will be rendered
unsound and hereafter no man can
claim title to school land through
the mere fact that he has a deed
from the stute. As it is commonly
expressed, the state lias begun sell
ing its land twice— llrst selling the
land in place at $1 25 per acre, and
then peimitting base huntees to con
demn the laud as mineral; wnere-
upon the state renounces its claim
to the lxnd, relinguishcs it to the
Government, selects other land in
lieu of it and sells the lieu land to
another purchaser. The first pur
chaser is ousted from possession
and given back his $1 25 per acre,
with interest at 6 per cent.
“If a private individual should do
what the state is doing, he would be
branded as a fraud,” Said a prom
inent man yesterday, who has bad
considerable to do with state land
matters.
If the state is to continue the
policy now entered upon, it should
at once give notice to the general
publio that any man who accepts a
convoyaneo of school land based
upon a deed from the state must do
so at the risk of being ousted by the
slate at some later time, unless ho
knows beyond question that there is
no mineral upon the land.
White Ants and Hemlock.
R. H. Folger, formerly a Port
land merchant, but now a Manila
business man, is on the Coast for a
short visit. In speaking of the out
look for homlojk, Mr. Folger said:
"The army in the Philippines has
been using hemlock lumber for the
past throe years. For a year and a
half they have used a large amount
of it, in ihe eroction of quarters,
and there is some of it sold on the
Manila markets.
Tho result is, it
has been ascertained, that it is the
only soft wood that will withstand
the attacks of the white ant, or wood-
eating ant, as it is commonly called.
One of the first buildings erected
with hemlock lumber was in San
Miguel district of Munilu.
Tkak
was severnl yeai s ago, and today it
is in ns good a state of preservation
as it was the day it was put up. In
fact, it seems to stand the weather
better than any other clnss of soft
lumbor. These ants infest all parts
of the island in millions and live on
rotten and soft woods.
They bore
into tho lumber in a thousand places
and it is but a short time until the
board is worth nothing an 1 has no
supporting strength.
The army
sought to get lumber that would re
sist these attacks and homlock was
tried with the result that there will
bo a largo nmonnt of this class of
lumber used there in the future.—

miles up the track, blow up tho

football In Coquille-
Thoroughbred Jersey Bull For Sale.
Football has grown to be one of
America’s most popular out-door
games and c««u year it developes
some new features of interest and
science. All over the United States
and in fact everywhere but Coquille
Valley, football is hailed with much
favor and reigns supreme tn its soa-
son of tho year. Now are we to be
loft out of this great sport just for
the laok of interest and good spirit
in tho game? No, not fora moment.
We have good sport here in tho
summer playing baseball, why not
have it in tho winter by plaving
football?
W e heroby appeal to tho business
men of *lie town to try and create
some interest in the great game?
Why not offer a cup or medal or a
prize to be awarded to tho winners
of a series of as many games as eau
be arranged for this season. You
will not be the losers by this favor
w e ask, for if tbe games can be ar
ranged for it will bo necessary for
each player to have a suit and such
other things iu the football lino as
will be necessary. Business men
can order the goods and we will buy
them and in this way create public
spirit and interest in the game.
There is some ‘ ilk of a game
Thursday, Nov. 27th, between John
son’s mill hands and a team selected
here in Coquille. Let them oomo,
the town is ready and up to any
game of sport and good spirit. If
this gomes comes oft 25 cents will
be charged gentlemen, cbildren 15
cents and ladies free. Sixty per
cent to the winners and forty to tho
losers. The gate receipts can be put
to the good purpose o f buying tho
necessary equipments for each team.
The teams or businoss men will not
lose but gain by pushing the good
thiDg along.
Football in a crude form is dan
gerous hut when played the proper
atid steady why it is a good healthy
sport and should be approved of
and played in this vicinity.
