ENTRY THAT IS VALID.
Intent to Sell after making Proof
Is not Unlawful.
Hornbrook, Cal.,Oct. 22. When the
publication of an alleged new interpre
tation by the United States Land Office
of portions of the timber and stone act
was first made by the newspapers there
was considerable excitement and no
little consternation among the large
number of people in this section who
are awaiting patents to timber claims as
well as those who have made entries
and not yet proved up.
In the latter class was Chas. W.
Strother, a young attorney of Yreka,
who concluded to ascertain beyond
question his status before making final
proof, and to this end he communicated
with the authorities direct. He stated
plainly that he had no intention of liv
ing on the land or individually making
any personal use of the timber thereon,
but that the entiy was made by him for
his own use and benefit, in the sense
that he intended to hold the same until
he could sell to advantage in the future.
lie stated that he desired to know
whether there was a prospect of his pat
ent beini held up by the department
and his money forfeited in case he
should proceed to prove up. The fol
lowing reply should effectually dispel
all doubts concerning the rights of in
individuals in the premises:
"Washington, D. C Mr. Charles W.
Strother, Lawyer, Yreka Dear Sir:
Referring to your letter of 29tn ult.,
relative to the suspension of your tim
ber and stone entry, you are advised
that if you made a satisfactory show
ing that your entry was made for your
own use and benefit and there is noth
ing more to impeach your good faith
than the mere fact tlut you made the
eDtry for investment with intent to sell
the land at some future indefiinite time
and in this manner realize a profit on
the money invested, this office holds
that such an entry is not made in vio
lation of law and should be passed to
patent,
"J. II. FlMPLE,
'Acting Commissioner."
The above letter is important because
it is neither vague nor evasive, but ab
solutely clear and conclusive. It looks
very much as if there has been a com
plete b.ickdown 01 the part of the
partment.

luu Patch Lowers The World's
Pacing Record.
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 22 A mile in
1 :oiiX was made by Dan Patch today st
the Memphis Trotting Association's
track in a trial agiinst time. The pacer
clipped throe-fourths of a second from
the world's record of 1 :57 held by Prince
Alert, and lowered his own record by
'1 seconds. The mile was paced with
out a wind shield and at the finish Dan
Patch seemed frenh and vigorous.
The demonstration that greeted the
new world's pacing champion as he
flashed under the wire was a memorable
one. Horse owners who stood about
the track before the starters' stand had
caught the time with their own watches
and before ttie official time flashed out
across the track they set up a shout, and
threw hats and caps high into the ar.
The shout was caught up by the people
in the grand stand, the space before it
and on the clubhouse grounds and the
name of the rew pacing idol was pro
claimed in shouts of applause that reach
ed their climax as Driver Mcllenry
pu'led up before the judge's stand and
doffed his hat in acknowledgment of the
race.
The trial was made with two runners
to set the pace, the sulky preceding the
pacer carrying a canvas strip between
the wheels. The quarter was reached
in 2! seconds, the half in 5S and the;
three-quarter pole in 1:27,' 4'- As the
horses swan? into the stretch, Dan Patch
was pushing the forward runner so close
ly that scarcely a hand's Lieath inter
vened between his nose and the back of
the driver on the forward 6ulky.
Indians Vermis Japs.
"Indians are much better workers in
the beet fields than Japs," said a beet
farmer yesterday in conversation with
the La Grande Observer. "Indians can
be depended upon to be there and at
work every day. A cloudy day doeB not
keep them out ot the field. On the
other hand, the Japs are always ready
to quit and go back to camp. They are
always under contract with some 'book
man' with whom they are usually in a
dispute and the season's work is one
succession of stops, Starts and quarrels.
Ttie Indians are good workers and !
never have any difficulty in settlement.
Simply deal slow and straight and there
is never any trouble. They do not
think rapidly and know little or nothing
about figures, so it is best to make each
step plain in your calculations and there
will be no misunderstandings."
Knowlei Succeeds Davis.
LaGrande, Or., Oct. 22. Judge J. W.
Knowles, of this city, received a letter
today from Chairman Frank C. Baker,
of Portland, requesting him to fill the
vacancy made by Hon. E. W. Davis on
the Republican State Central Committee.
Mr. Knowles stated today that he would
accept. Mr. Baker stated in his letter
that Mr. Knowles had been recommend
ed by a great many Republicans in
Union County. Mr. Knowles says he
considers it quite an honor.
Knowles was displaced in the Land
Office Registership by Davis and re
signed as a member of the Republican
State Central Committee recently be
cause President Roosevelt objects to
Federal office holders being affiliated
too closely with politics.
Glad to Sec Oregon Senators.
Washington, Oct. 21. "Delighted."
This was President Roosevelt's hearty
exclamation, as he went into his office
this morning to welcome the Oregon
Senators, who had called to pay their
respects. The reception accorded them
was most cordial. The vistt was entire
ly personal. No mention was made of
matters of patronage, nor no preference
made to late differences over the La
Grande affair.
The Senators congratulated the Presi
dent on the happy outcome of the
Alaskan boundary negotiations and
after a brief chat departed in the best of
spirits, apparently forgetting all ut -pleasantness
that arose during the
recess.
Herald IVIeii Win Again.
Union, Or., Oct. 22. The jury in the
celebrated Baker City Herald libel cafe
that has been on trial in the Circuit
Court here the past three days btought
in a verdict of acquittal this afternoon,
after being out about 30 minutes. The
indictment in this case charged that the
publication in the Herald in the Hunt
ington defalcation matter was libelous
in that it charged County Judge Travil
lion with being accessory to a crime and
compounding a felony.
Twelve indictments had been found
aeainst the pubHphers of the Herald.
This was the trial of the third indict
ment, the first trial being upon the
eleventh count, both resulting in ac
quittal. It was expected that the o'her
indictments would be dismissed, as they
are similar to those already tried, but
upon motion of the District Attorney
this evening they were continued until
the February term of court.
Canal To come I'p.
Washington, Oct., 22 While Pres:
dent Roosevelt designated in bis proc'a
raation calling Congress into extraordi
nary session on the subject of Cuban re
ciprocity f r Cuba it is reasonably cer
tain now that the Senate, at least will
have the Isthmian question brought di
rectly tu its attention. Senator Morgan
of Alabama, has indicated his intention
of introducing a resolution bearing upon
the raral.
Mr. Morgan will endeavor to show
that the Panama route is r.ow beyond
consideration and he will urge that it is
ttie duty of the President, under the
Spoo ler law, to construct the canal im
mediately by the Nicaraguan route.

locally that "the News s-teals."
WOMAN A PESSIMIST.
After a Certain - Thr Face
Show Sigma of Mental Worry
and DlatreM.
The average woman is a dyed-in-the-wool
pessimist. Almost every
woman over 30 years of age looks
distressed. Her brows are bent, her
mouth drawn into a tight line, and
there are deep furrows down her
cheeks. She looks exactly as if sh'e
were considering how to provide a
dinner for 25 cents that will satisfy
twenty-five small children, when in
reality she may have nothing more
serious on her mind than buying &
pair of socks for George. No wonder
women grow old faster than men,
for they hug their worries to them
and let them show in their faces.
There was once an elderly servant
who was superstitious to a degree
and who always expected the worst
to happen. Did she find a needle on
the floor, did a picture fall in the
house or a bird fly into one of the
rooms, she was instantly plunged
into woe. "We're going to have a
heap of bad luck!" she would say,
and then she'd be lachrymose until
some one had the toothache or the
cows got into the corn, when she
would consider the demon luck ex
orcised or satisfied for a time and
grow as cheerful as it was her habit
to be. Some one once asked her if
she did not hnve any good-luck signs.
"Why, certainly," she replied, "but
they don't count I don't believe in
the good-luck ones," which, by the
by, is thoroughly characteristic of
the sex.
Here is a woman who suffers suf
fers is the word from insomnia. "I
can't imagine why T don't sleep," she
says to her friends. "I'm sleepy as
anything when I go upstairs, but
then I begin to wonder if my son
Arthur, who travels for a drug firm,
is on a train, and in a minute I see
him just as plainly bleeding and
mangled in a wreck. When T decide
that he is really dead, I think of
John, and worry because he hasn't a
better position. Then Molly comes
into my mind, and I feel sure that
one of her children must be ill, T feel
so blue about her. I fret over Lucy's
throat a bit then, and by this time
I'm wide awake. It's the strangest
thing! I don't understand why I
should be so wakeful!"
Her physician does, however, and
now he's prescribing for her a course
of cheerfulness and of "looking for
the best." It's a medicine that most
women need their faces show it
but there are few who are sensible
enough to take it.
Dearth Canaed by Mnqol(o.
Mosquitoes are now charged with
communicating erysipelas as well as
malaria and yellow fever. A New
York physician has issued a death
certificate in the case of a 14 months'
old babe, in which he says "Death
was caused by erysipelas due to the
bite of a mosquito." It is only fair
to the mosquito to record that- the
board of health officers refused to
accept the certificate until a coro
ner s physician had investigated and
concluded that there was no other
apparent cause for the death than
the mosquito bite. Youth's Companion.
