Lane
We call the attention of those of pur
readers who own lands, the title to
which was originally obtained from
the government by reason of settle
ments made under the old Donatiou
law of Sept. 27, 1850, to the necessity
of seeing that their titles have been
perfected by the filing of the proper
evidence in the Land Office, and the
issue of a certificate and patent for the
lands claimed, . . . .
In July last the Register and Re
ceiver of the U. S. Land Office at this
place, pursuant to instructions from
the Commissioner of the General
Laud Office, published a notice to such
cluitnauts that they would be given
six months in wnich to perfect their
proofs, and failing to do that, their
claims would be held for cancellation.
Upon inquiry at the Land Office, we
are informed that about eighty of these
claims remain in the office for which
certificates have not been issued, and
in almost all of which the evidence is
imperfect. .
These claims are of long standing
aud should have been perfected years
ago, and is the desire of, the Gov
eminent to have them settled up and
closed out as speedily as possible a
special agent of the General Land
Office haviug-been sent out here forthe
purpose of examining the proofs and
ascertaining what is necessary to per
fect the claims.
We advise all therefore to examine
their titles and ascertain if the patent
from the United States has been Is
sued, and if not 'to take the steps neces
sary to secure its issuance.
More than a thousand patents re
main in the Land Office undelivered
through the negligence of claimants
in not calling to get them; all of
which are liable to destruction in case
the Land Offiee should be burned.
: This matter is of interest, not only to
land-owners in Douglas county, but
also to those in the counties of Lane
and Linn. ' .
Baying Logs Cat on IT. S. Land.
TJ. S. Deputy Marshal, Barns, left
iere on Wednesday morning, having
n charge Mr. James Tipton, whom he
lad under arrest for purchasing a lot
)f logs from a man by the name of
Lively, who had cut the same on
Government land. The arrest, we un
derstand, was made upon the complaint
of H. T. Johns, U. 8. Timber Agent
lor this State. Under the law prohib
iting tresspass on Government timber
Jaads, those who purchase logs cut up
on such lands are made equally guilty
with the parties who cut and sell the
lng4, and are subject to the same pen
alties. In the present case, we do not
tjhink any wrong was intended by Mr.
Tipton, and hope the authorities will
riot deal with him with undue se
verity. Mr. Tipton has always been
known as a respectable, law-abiding
citizen, and in purchasing the logs we
feel assured in saying he never had in
tention of violating the law.
Reduction of Fare.
The Oregon and California Railroad
Company have issued tickets for the
benefit of those of this eounty who
may wish to visit Portland and help
to receive Gen. Grant upon his arri
val there. The charge for such tickets,
which are good for the trip to Portland
aud return, will be $8 50. The tickets
will hold good from the 11th until the
17th, and the first of them will be sold
at the depot this morning. There
never was offered our citizens a better
and cheaper opportunity of visit
ing the metropolis, and when
we compare the charges made in this
instance with the regular fare, or the
fare of the days when stage coaches
were the only means of travel, we
must consider them as comparatively
nothing. AH certainly whether from
curiosity or respect for the man de
sire seeing Gen. Grant ; and this is
certainly the cheapest and best oppor
tunity.
Ruby Wedding.
Friday evening there was celebrated
at their residence in this city the ruby
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jones
It was the fortieth anniversary of the
happy couple's wedding, and there
was as happy gathering of relatives
and friends as has been witnessed In
the county. One of the most pleasing
foaHiroa eJ the evening and the maiu
attraction of the time was Mrs. Jones,
arraved in her wedding suit of forty
vears ago. There were the puffed
Rltwea. straight waist, snort ares ana
.. . . ...
the slippers bound to the ankle by
r '
Intertwined ribbons, making in alia
perfect picture of the dresses and style
of the days when our grandmothers
dictated the fashions. Of course every
one present wished the happy couple
"many happy returns" as they did
at the time of the marriage, and, like
ourself, hoped for them a continuance
for forty years more of happy married
! life

Tha Survey &t Coos Bay
ATjout Completed!
PORT ORFORD TO BE SURVEYED!
A ROUGH BAR !
SLIIPFLNa IN rLLIGENCE
FROM THE BAY !
Empire City, Oct. 10. The sur
veyors of the harbor of refuge have
nearly completed their work of survey
at this place, having put In good time
and faithful work whenever the
weather would permit while here.
They are now waiting for favorable
weather so they may go to Port Or
ford, and as is laid down in their di
rections from headquarters, make a
survey and surroundings of that har
bor. The report they will make will
be favorable at least to Coos Bay as a
port of refuge.
The bar is very rough now, and has
been so since' the commencement of
the late storm along the coast.
The schooners Premier, Aurora and
James Townsend, and the steamship
Gussie Telfair are ready for sea, and
are only waiting for a smooth bar to
weigh anchor.
The steamship Areata saile i from
this port for San Francisco on Wed
nesday with a good cargo of freight
and a fair passenger list.
Two Things Needed.
The new Board of Trustees can very
profitably employ its time at its first
meeting, first : In causing property
holders to replace the rotten boards in
the sidewalks in front of their prop
erty ; second, in employing a man to
hammer down the nails which now
stand above the Sidewalks, a cause for
stumbling on the part of men and the
tearing of skirts on the part of ladies.
There is no necessity for negligence on
the part of property -holders in this
matter ; and when there comes a suit
for damages against the city, sustained
in a fall, from a broken plank or high
nail, then it will be too late to make
the needed repairs.
Disappointed Enthusiast. '
A gentleman lately arrived from
Empire City informs us that when it
was reperted that gold had been dis
covered outside the Coos Bay bar, our
friend Wagstaff rushed from his office
to take up t. claim without hat or
boots, and that in bis run to the beach
he resembled a figure u8" struck by
lightning more than anything else.
But the gold turned to copper, and
the poor, disappointed editor of the
Argus elowly returned to his office,
tied his long legs into a double bow
knot, and has been as cross as a bear
with a sore bead ever since. We are
sorry to hear of the extreme disap
pointment of onr brother.
The City Election.
The result of the election held last
Monday is announced elsewhere. The
day passed off quietly with one or two
exceptions of trifling moment, and a
new board of trustees, new marshal
and new treasurer were elected. The
contest was mainly upon the election
of the marshal, and Mr. A. C. Cox
was elected. We hope the new board
of trustees will see the wisdom of the
many reforms instituted by the old
board, and will look to it that the city
has the same economical and honest
administration of municipal affairs.
Locked Out. x
Friday morning Sheriff Hogan was
anxiously hunting for a man to pick
a lock for him. It seems that one of
his deputies, through forgetfulness,
had carried away the two keys belong
ing to the door of the Sheriff's office
and had left the office locked. The
door was finally opened, but as to the
means empleyed we are not informed.
snerin iiogan nas again become a
mild-speaking Christian, and the for
getful deputy may return home with
ont fear of the wrath' to come.
Look Out For Poison I
Many of the nostrums put up and
sold for the various diseases are very
injurious by reason of the poison
which they contain and which can
not be detected except by a chemical
analysis. Oregon kidney tea is not open
to any such objection, but is a purely
vegetable remedy, which needs only
to be '' drawn " like any other tea, and
it is ready for use, curing without fail
the worst cases of Kidney Complaint
or any disease of the urinary orgaans
ic either sex.
Notice.
Having Just returned from H. W.
Settlemire's nursery, for which I have
secured the agency for Douglas
county, I desire to inform all persons
wishing anything in that line, that I
have secured special low rates for this
year, and from personal observation
I can furnish any Information desired,
Can make liberal discount for large
orders. Will be glad to hear from
parties wishing a calL Address R.

Forty-five Cases,
There are forty-five cases on the
docket for trial by the approaching
term of the Circuit Court; and on
Thursday night the Clerk and Sheriff
worked until after midnight preparing
necessary papers that the work of the
Court may not be delayed. The two
most important cases up for trial are
State of Oregon vs. Dr. S. Striker,
and State of Oregon vs. J. J. Moore.
The case against .Dr. Striker stands

FROM CALAPOOIA.
Wade and Pickens have rented a
farm from Lyman Kellogg on the
Umnqna, and propose going into the
business of farming. Two finer farm
ers were never known. One said to
the other yesterday as the two were
leaving Oakland " Piekens, you've
got to buy a pair of shears to prune
the potatoe tree with." "Alright,"
said Pickens; "and, Wade, don't you
forget the ladder to use in picking the
pumpkins" Just you wait, Mr. Edi
tor, and next Fall the boys will write
you a book entitled "What We
Know About Farming." ;
Another little bit of fun is that
three of the boys went on the hill the
other day to see some girls. It was
on Sunday. Before the house was
reached their courage tailed them, and
they began searching about for an ex
cuse for their visit. One of them said,
" We'll say, if the girls are not there,
that we eaine to hire a harvest hand."
" Yes," pipeil up a female voice near
by ." and from the looks of you boys,
you had first better hire a good hand
to come courting for you." Pickens
and the other boys don't go up the
hill now. .. '''::.v"':i:y-"
The statement that "Apwer"' made
in the Star to the effect that the Inde
pendent has but two subscribers on
Calapooia creek, is in keeping with
his other misstatements. The Inde
pendent has a larger circulation than
any paper in the county here, and off
setts the Plaiudealer five to one. ' The
medicine given by the Doctor acts
upon "Apwer" strangely, and must
have driven him mad. "Apwer's" de
parture for CresBWtll is hardly worth
noting, but if his oljeet of adoration
does not call upon the authorities to
have him arrested asan insane person,
it is because he will hide the fact by
keeping silent. Let him open his
mouth once within her hearing, and
he is a goner. j Wild Bill.
Accident at Tipton's Mill.
We have received the particulars of
the wonndingof the head-sawyer at
Patterson's mill, from M. Wm Tip
ton. Pitcher was lacing up one of
the belts near a circular saw that was
running at the hetgth of its speed.
While so doing his arm was struck by
three teeth of the saw, and the arm
cut in two from a few inches above the
wrist to an inch or so above the el
how, and the arm hung by a thin
thread of flesh. Three teeth of the
saw only were covered with blood.
Dr. Cullender attempted to set the arm
at the request of the wounded man's
wife, who begged that the arm might
not be amputated, but when she
found this was impossible, and the
man demanded that the arm should
be taken off, an amputation was per
formed, the arm taken off above the
elbow. Mr. 1 ipton reports PUeher in
fine spirits and as rapidly recovering,
walking about the house the third
day after the operation was performed
by the Burgeon.
Housekeeper, and Cooks' Friend. . ,
Mr. James Tnrner Is now eanvasing
the county for the celebrated Cast Iron
tSteamer and Adjustable Strainer. We
have seen both of these articles, and
pronounce them superior to anything
of the kind ever iuvented. It But plies
a want long felt. In cooking vegeta
bles, the Strainer is of great advantage
one neither has to burn themselves
or bands, or use two holders in pour
ing off. the water. The Steamer is
equally useful. These are sold cheap
by the agent, Mr. Turner. This gen
tleman will sell an interest in the in
vention in this county, and as the
Strainer and Steamer will sell readily
a profitable business will be secured to
the purchaser.
"Oil, How Cheap!"
A fair maiden, went tripping along
with a bright light In her eyes. On be
ing asked the cause of her happiness
exclaimed. " Oh, my ; it beats all
how cheap Josephson sells goods. His
store was jammed with customers, and
when I weut in Just now I got mans
goods for the same money than I ever
did before."
Fine Trout,
We are thankful to Mr. J. C. Floed,
Jr., for a fine salmon trout, caught by
him on Thursday in the North Ump
qua. Mr. .r ioea is one oi me most suc
cessful anglers in the county, and in
his last attempt got away with

CORRESPONDENCE.
Myrtle Creek, Oct. 8, 1879.
Ea Independent: Since we Myr
tle creekers like for other folks to
know that there is a Myrtle creek, and
as everybody who comes here leaves
again, (except who stay) which is not
in every case because they can't get
away, we like to be heard from through
the Independent once in a while;
and while we don't desire to discour
age your reader, it becomes our duty
to proclaim to the world, that ltls
and has been raining for the greatest
part of the last three days and nights,
and raining very heavy too. You
know, Mr. Editor, it is very early in
the season for so heavy rains, and
some of our best citizens think if it
continues as it did last Spring until
the first of July, we will have a very
damp Winter. In consequence of the
rain many of our farmers, who are not
yet done hauling their grain to Rose
burg, have had to hurry.
F. M. Gabbert and daughter, D. S. K,
Buick and daughters, and many oth
er of our most amiable and mirth
making citizens, have gone to Salem
to attend the Fair, which makes our
little town appear as little dry.
Our enterprising citizen, Jos. B.
Weaver, has bought Mrs. Rapalee's
farm, and is going to commence plow
ing preparatory to planting a large
crop, just as if the weather was dry,
and everybody at home.
I bear that Joseph Lane has rented
Uncle Billy Hudson's farm and he too
is going ahead just if nothing had
happened; and in fact I believe noth
ing serious has occurred, except that
our neighbor and blacksmith, Mr.
Churchill, got his hand badly mashed
while shoeing a vicious horse yester-
dwnca'E

in view of selecting a stock ranch.
Success attend you, James.
James Chenoweth has moved upon

gaging in farming on aJarge scale,
and his energy will bring him success.
Mrs. W. D. Gee is putting a sub

- Mr. Tavid Hurst, the old war-hone
and pioneer of Douglas county, is
with us once more. - He has resided in
McMinnville for the past two years,
looking after the education of his
children. He will remain on the Cala
pooia but a short time, his visit being
made purely for business reason .
We are sorry to learn that he will not
remain permanently with us. ,
Mrs. Richard Learns and family
started for Dayton, W. T., last Mon
day. Mrs. Learns was accompanied
by Miss Melissa Davis, a young iady
whom all Calapooia honors and love.
While we regret the departure of both,
our good wishes for the welfare of
both the ladies compel us to hope for
them a pleasant journey aud future
happiness.
" Apwer," the crazy correspondent
of the. Star, has disappeared, and the
" places which knew lam once know
him no more." When list seen he
was in Salem, wild as ever. Such
characters should not be allowed to
run at large. Why could not the au
thorities of Douglas county catch him
upandsell him to a travelling circus
as a leading curiosity ?
FROM UMPQUA FERRY.
We lake the following extracts
from our regular correspondence. The
letter did not reach us iu time to ad
mit of its entire publication: :
We note that the Plaiudealer has
reduced its rates of subscription and
says it will share the losses with the
farmers, etc. We have heard several
say that the Plaiudealer as a newspa
per was an unnecessary evil; aud on
account of its fast-losing popularity it
took this method of alluring the pub
lic to fill up its thiuiug ranks.
The writing school under the man
agement of Mr. Clayton will begin
ere long. We have but little acquain
tance with the gentleman, but from
wbat we have seen of his writing we
would recommend him as A 1 in the
profession.
Sic-kuess iu this locality still holds
Its own, and though not very serious
we think it Will soon subside.
A. Gerniaud's little scon is very ill
at present with dyspepsia. S. D. Hun
ter had a very stv re attack f diar
rhoea, but under close attention he
recovered rapidly, li. A. Livingston,
we understand, fell and broke his col
lar bone. Mr. J. R. McKiuney is with
us again looking hale and hearty.
There are several light cases of whoop
ing cough, but it has not taken much
of a hold here as it has in the
neigh boi i n g precincts.
We will bring this to a close by
giving a few personalities : Ura Lay

was said to be the best milch cow

OAKLAND ITEMS.

Mr. A. J. Laze, of San Francisco,
gave ub a pleasant call last week.
Rev. Warren preached a very Inter
esting sermon on Sunday night.
"Apwer" is on his "wings" again
but ,he Oakland correspondent has no
fear of that obsequious individual. His
last production in the Western Star is
flavored with as much misrepresenta
tion and conceit as have characterised
his previous effort. Of course, good
meu make mistakes, but they never
swear to an untruth. Now, "Apwer,"
accept a little advise. Listen I ! In
stead of applying for a situation as
postma8ter,as you have done, we advise
your honor to aspire for a more hon
orable position. You should not waste
your sweetness on the desert air of a
route agency. Remember that every
man is hetr-anDarent to the Presi
dential chair, and a man of your high
standing should strive for tne place

Labratory and Office, No. 4 State street, Boston, Sept. 9, 1873 George Rimmondi.
Esq. Sir : The satrple marked "Nabob Whisky," received from yon. has been ana.
lyzed with the following results : It !s of selected alcoholic strength and free from art
ded flavoring oils, acids, metals, or any other deleterious substances. Hespeclfully,
a. OAS A UAlE.S, State Assayer of Massachusetts, ;
St. Louis, Mo., Sept 30. 1876 George Simmonds, Esq I have boea using your
Nabob Whisky for some time, and have no hesitation in saying that it is. without
exception, the purest article that I have need medicinally, or for fiimily purposes.
To many of my patients who hav: bern sufferinc with indigestion and nervous afTtw.'
tions, I have prescribed yoar Nabob Whisky fur tbeis use, and I lake pleasure in say
ing to you the effect has been satisfactory. Please send me by express six cases C. 6.
D and oblige, yours truly. H. C. LOUDERBACK. M. D.
So Ions as there are ills to which flesh is
disease, so long will it be necessary to nse medicine to counteract the evils produced
and maintain the health of the human family. Many kinds of medicine are frequents
ly offered to the public for one special disease and another, and If the truth were
known it would doubtlessly be found that in the cisjor'.ty of eases these nostrnms
have done more harm than good. Indeed seme of the greatest evils of the present day
is the existence ot quack compounds, which contain ingredients inimicable to health,
and tbe greatest care, therefore, should be taken by Invalids, in using many unknown
drug which cannot be taken with impunity, to matter what may be alledjied to the
contrary. ....
Now, experimce has shown that Nabob Whisky is one or the beet medicinal prepa
rations known, and is highly recommended by ibe F nlty for all eases of nervousness,
weakness, debil'uy, dyspepsia, indigestion, etc. Its popularity throughout the East- ,
crn States has been great, and it comes to the Pacific t oast -ndored by the certifi
cates or ur, s. Dana Hayes, state assayer
back, of St. Lonia. Mo. These certificates
ring that the Nabob Whisky la, without
usea eituer meaictnauy or tor indigestion and nervous affections, and can be used
with the utmost confidence. The analysis shows, that this wJiisky is of standard al
coholic strength, and free from flavoring oils, acids, metals, or other deleterious snbi .
stances, . Dr. Haves further says that It is pure, of superior quality, and suitable for
dietie and medicinal purposes. Such recommendations are the strongest that can be
furnished, and as there are thousands of letters testifying to the merits of the whisky
as a family remedy and tonic, no further proof of its excellence need be given.
