A Statement From Mr. Durbin.
Wednesday Governor Lord, State
Secretary Kincaid and State Treasurer
Metscban, constituting the state land
commission, with W. H. Odell, clerk
of that department, met in regular
session and, after disposing of the cus-
tomary routine matters, took up the
matter of the contest of O. M. Wylie
and L. D. Oakes vs. Charles B. Durbin
et al. on the question of the right to
purchase certain lands in t 7 s, r 15 e,
and after due consideration awarded
judgment in favor of the Wylie and
Oakes. Salem Statesman.
Phis Oakes & Wylie tract of land lays
between Bakeoven and Antelope. It
is known as the Hooper property, and
has been occupied by Mr. Rooper for
the past seven or eight years. Charles
Durbin, upon. certain representations
to the board of school land commis
sioners, recently obtained certificates
of purchase, but it seems that after a
full investigation of the matter the
preperty has been restored to Mr.
Rooper.
The above article -on the ruling of
the state board as far as I am con
cerned, the statement that I made any
representations to the board is a lie
on its face. 1 made no representation
of any kind whatever, but purchased
this land as it was subject to concella
tioo aod sale for non-payment of in
terest for 6 years.
Very truly yours.
C. B. Dttrbin.
The above statement from Mr. Dur
bin was received some time since, but
the letter containing it was mislaid
As to the facts contained therein we
have little knowledge, as the first
statement published was furnished by
a party apparently conversant with
the subject, hence it now rests be
tween him and Mr. Durbin. ED.

"In 1890 1 had a severe attack of LaGrippe

was most aggravating. I could not lie in

OI-D SOLDIERS IN SESSION.
W. R- c. and G. A. R. Had "a Pleasant
Rennion Last Saturday Evening.
At the regular meeting of the
Woman's Rel ef Corps held Saturday
evening the department president,
Mrs. S. Gwilt, of Portland, was present
and an interesting session was held.
The president-elect of the Corps,
Mrs., Mamie Briggs, was duly install
ed into office by Mrs. Gwilt. also the
following officers: Treasurer, Mrs.
L'zzie A.lrich, color bearers, Mes
dames Bunch, Grimes, Forward and
Miss Emma Fisher; secretary, Mrs.
Ollie Stephens, the other officers hav
ing been Installed at the regular In
stallation. After the Corps adjourned
the doors were thrown open to the G.
A. It. Sons of Veterans and friends.
Among the guests were: Asst. Quar
master General, Col. Skinner,and
Adjutant-General W. N. Morse, of
Portland. Both made appropriate
speeches, and among othr good thi ngs
Col. SKinner said: ''I have been ten
dered the freedom of the Commercial
Club rooms " and am a great
critic, but must admit that I
could not find one thing to criticise in
the Commercial Club." He paid many
high compliments to The Dalles, a
did also Adjutant General Morse, who
yislted us a short time ago, and is still
singing praises of the hospitality of our
citizens. and complimenting the ladies,
Mrs. Gwilt was called oo and responded
in her usual happy manner, but
thought she bad been slighted as she
bad not been tendered the freedom of
the Commercial Club, bu' bad bees
royally entertained by the ladies. Mr.
Varney, captain of the Sons ofVeterans,
made an interesting speech, also Mr,
Liewis. Mr. iearned was called on,
but was too weak from hunger to re
spond, and soon the ladies were flitting
about the hall serving a delicious
luncheon which was heartily enjoyed.
The object of tbe visit of the state
officials was to make arrangements for
the slate encampment which meets in
this city in May. and with tbe interest
that the G. A. R. have already mani
fested and the support of the Commer
cial Club, we are safe to say that the
city of the Inland Empire, situated oa
the bank of the Columbia, will add an
other jewel to her crown as a hosplable
and prosperous city. Sec.
NOTICE.
To whom it may concern: Having
been informed that tbe agents of
another insurance association circu
lated the report that tbe Mutual Pro
tective Insurance Association of Port
land, Oregon, did not pay in full the
amount of insurance on my dwelling,
which was destroyed by fire in Septem
ber last, and which was Insured in that
Association for $300. I berepy state
that such report is absolutely untrue.
That said Association not only paid
the full amount of their policy on said
dwelling, but they paid $150 thereof
before the same was due, according to
the terms of their policy, in order to
accommodate me, and I would further
state that I am ent'rel? satisfied with
the treatment I have rezeived, from
that Association, and cheerfully rec
ommend them for the manner In which
they adjusted and settled my loss.
