Candidates are begining already to
recognize common, ordinary folks,
shake hands and make themselves
agreeable. Some of them are always
the same, always agreeable and good
natured, and those are the ones that
stand the best show. A surly, grouty
fellow only makes himself ridiculous
by assuming a grin as convention
time rolls round.
David Kelman died at five o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He had been
suffering from consumption for the
last two years and to him the sum
mons of the grim messenger was but
a release from pain. Deceased was
in the 39th year of his age. He leaves
a wife and two children. He was a
member of Astor Lodge No. G, K. of
P. The funeral will be at Clatsop
cemetery to-morrow. The Clara Par
ker will leave Main street wharf at
twelve, noon.
During the special session of the
legislature last November a bill was
passed regulating the sale of opium
and providing a penalty for smoking
it. As the bill had no emergency
clause, the law could not go into ef
fect until three months subsequent to
its passage. This time has passed, so
the authorities can now begin to en
force the law. It provides that opium
shall not be sold in any form except
by a prescription from a practicing
phj'sician, written in English or Latin.
It was currently reported on the
street yesterday that Capt. Scott of
the Telephone had the contract for
carrying the mail between here and
Portland for $0,000 a year and that
he was going to put on the Fleet
wood and run daily. For his own
prosperity it is to be hoped the re
port is a mistake. Six thousand dol
lars a year for such service as is re
quired between here and Portland is
no pay at all. It is worth $20,000;
there is no money in it at that. The
rumor lacks confirmation.
PERSONAL.
F. E. Shute has been appointed
ticket agent at the O. K. & N. Co.'s

OWNERSHIP OF SWAMP LANDS.
Knappa, March 6, 188G.
Editor Asteria:
In The Weekly Astoriak of Feb.
20th, is an article copied from the
Standard. In that rticlo the writer
copied portions of a letter which I
had addressed to C. B. Carlisle, sec
retary of the Oregon board ot immi
gration, and made a synopsis of bal
ance of letter.
In that letter I gave the present
legal status of overflowed lands be
longing to the state of Oregon, lying
in Clatsop county, and mentioned the
opinion of ex-Judge Jas. K. Kelly
respecting them. The writer of the
article made a mistake. He says that
Judge Kelley held that the lands be
longed to the United States, in the
letter nothing was said about the
land belonjnne to the United btatei
There is no question about the own
ership of the lands. In speaking
about Judge Kelley a opinion, the fol
lowing is the language which I used,
'Judge Kelley said that the parties
havihg allowed ten years to elapse
without reclaiming the land, had for
feited all rights, and that the state
board could be compelled by man
damus to deed to settlers. Within a
very short time the supreme court of
Oregon, in the case of D. L. Moore,
has settled this point sustaining the
opinion of Judge Kelley.
This case of Moore was an agreed
case, brought to determine the point,
whether a party purchasing under
the law of 1870, and having fully com
plied with the law by reclamation,
etc., was entitled to a deed from the
state, before the land had been pat
ented to the state by the United
States. The court held that having
performed his part of the contract
the state must perform her part, and
give him a deed.
In this case it was taken as true
that the man's proof was all right,
that no perjury had been committed,
that the land was absolutely swamp
or overflowed. Were it otherwise,
the deed would be valueless, for in
that case the land would not belong
to the state, not oven had it been pat
ented to the state by the "United
States. Through error in judgement
or criminal conspiracy of examing
agents, no amount of purification, no
numberof innocent purchasers, could
cure tho inherent defect of such a
title.
This decision was in accordance
with decisions of the United States
supreme court and with the opinion
of Attorney General Black, given to
the secretary of. the interior in the
year 1857. This decision settles the
question as far as Clatsop county
overflowed lands are concerned the
unsold portion of them belong to the
state. That the state board so re
gards them, is in evidence from the
fact that within a few months the
board has sold about 400 acres of
the3ejanda under the law of 1878,
and given deeds for them, the lands
sold having been patented to the
state.
If the original contract made
with parties in 1873, who had filed on
the lands under the law of 1870, and
had entered into a contract with the
state in 1873, to reclaim the lands
within ten years from date of con
tract and pay the balance of purchase
money, the state obligating herself,
upon the performance of these con
ditions to give the parties deeds to
the land, if this contract were still
a living contract no power on earth
can annul this contract excepting the
contracting parties, or except upon
performance or by operation of law.
Granting the contract to be still in
force, a deed given to the assignee of
this contract, under the law of 1878
would be absolutely void. But the
deed is good for the lands reverted
to the state in 1873.
Settlers can now go on to these
lands. One person is allowed to pur
chase 320 acres or a less amount, and
it is not only desirable, but import
ant that these lands be speedily set
tled and reclaimed.

While there may be a great deal in
luck and accident in the lives of in
dividuals, there's little or nothing ot
good luck in the growth of towns in
to cities. Cities are made. They are
not the results of accidents. The
prime reason why one city surpasses
another in population and wealth is
generally the fact that the citizens of
the successful city are more enter
prising than the other. It will not
do to rely alone on geographical lo
