A suit for *5000 attorneys fees fo r examiuiDg into and insuring the title to 100,000 seres o f land in Coos aud Douglas counties was placed on trial yesterday before Judge Sears. The plaintiffs are Cecil Barnes and Thomas G. Greene, and the defendants M ar shal J. Kinney, o f Astoria, and W illiam M. Bray, of Oshkosh. Wis. The lacd was to be purchased from the Southern Oregon Improvement Company for *600.000, and Bray and Kinney, it is said, expected to dispose of it to parties in Boston fer *1,000,000 thus realizing *400,- 000 profit. According to evidence given by Mr. Greene, Bray aud Kinney ob tained an option on the laud. They paid *5000 down, and afterwards, at a certain date, were required to de posit $60,000 of which Bray paid *20,000 and Kinney *40,000 and the attorney said Bray told him he had $10,000 in the bank. Whether the complete purchase of the land was ever effected and the sale afterwards made for $1,000, 000 has not yet been developed at the trial.— Oregonian. Canal Treaty Signed. /■ ■ E d it o r H e r a l d : Perhaps it may be interesting to some of your many readers to learn at this l»te date, the names of those who volunteered almost half a century ago to defend their homes from the then hostile Indians. It is needless to say that but few of the veterans of those days remain to tell of the times that tried the mttol of the hardy pioneers. Please find enclosed the muster roll of Capt. Wm. H.

C ure Dr. Miles' Heart Cure cures heart disease. It has positively no equal in that regard. The fluttering, palpitation and heart pains readily disappear before its magic influence; the shortness of breath, the frightful smother ing spells vanish after a short course of treat ment, the pulse beats become strong and regular, the circulation is improved so that the veins are charged with nealthy, pure, life giving blood carrying strength and health to every nerve and muscle and re placing the dead tissue with solid flesh. “ For eighteen years I suffered from heart trouble. The least excitement caused se vere fluttering and palpitation and at night smothering spells would frequently cause me to sit up in bed for breath. Beside the fre quent physical pain? I wr.. constantly in an ag-'iiy of apprehension le t it might bring «bout mv sudden end. I began l iking I ’r.
