City CmiiM'il ProvUlin for Kkx'tion of
CHy PurvliaHlng Agent.
If present plans of the Dallas city
city council are carried out. the city
will have a new officer to be known as
Purchasing Agent A motion to
create such office was passed at the
regular meeting of the board held
Tuesday night.
The duty of the purchasing agent
will be to purchase and contract for
all supplies needed by the city and to
Inspect all bills rendered for such sup
plies. The election of this officer was
passed Tueeday evening, to be taken
up at a later date.

election to so amend the city charter

Under a decision rendered Wednes
day by Judge Anderson, of the Su
preme Court of the District of Colunv
bla, the Secretary of the Interior will
not hereafter be permitted to hold up
Indefinitely land entries against which
specific charges are not pending, but
whenever a receiver's receipt has been
Issued, must pass upon the issuance of
patent within two years.
This decision was handed down in
the case of the Grand Rapids Timber
Company vs. Secretary of the Interior,
the timber company having purchased
several Siletz entries in Oregon in
1903. In the Fall of that year a spec
ial agent of the Land Office reported
that there was reason to believe this
particular land was not taken In good
faith by the homesteaders, but no
evidence to sustain this suspicion was
presented. Nevertheless the depart
ment has since refused to issue patent.
Secretary Can't Hold Up Claims.
Recently the Secretary of the Inter
ior directed the cancellation of these
particular entries and the Grand Rap
ids Company, an innocent purchaser,
through Attorneys Duane E. Fox and
Franklin Bougbton Fox, of this city,
filed suit for injunction to prevent can
cellation, asserting that, no protest
had been made against the entries
within two years, as required by the
act of March, 3, 1891, for the special
agent's report, while made within two
years from the issuance of the re
ceiver's receipt, was not sufficient In
law, in' that It failed to show wherein
the entries were made in violation of
law.
The Secretary filed a demurrer.
alleging that title to the land was in
the United States, which cannot be
sued, that the courts cannot Interfere
with the Secretary while the land re
mains unpatented and that the report
of a special agent was filed within the
meaning of the act, and that "If the
argument in support of the Secretary's
demurrer were allowed to prevail, the
act of Congress would be without
force or meaning." The demurrer
was overruled.
Lafferty Loses; Will Appeal.
Judge Anderson also dismissed an
Injunction suit brought by A. W. Laff
erty, of Portland, on behalf of Hoi'
verson and 11 other Siletz entrymen.
In 11 of these cases the receiver's re
celpts had not been Issued as required
by the act of March 3, 1891. This ac
tlon leaves the Secretary of the Inter
ior at liberty to cancel the entries In
question If, In his judgment, the evl
dence warrants.
'We have already wired money to
Washington to appeal these cases.
said A. W. Lafferty last night. "I am
at a loss to understand why or through
what manner of reasoning any such
decision ever was handed down. In the
first place no question arose as to the
validity of the claims within the time
limit, upheld In the decision quoted in
the Grand Rapids cases. The only
point then Involved was as to the work
done on the claims. The Government
asserts that a sufficient amount of
work was not done to establish the
sincerity of the settlers. That would be
Impossible In the specific cases. The
timber is very heavy and though they
are classed as homesteads they are
nothing less than timber claims.
PRINCIPLES FIRST
Republican Parly Stands for More
Than Mere Office-Seeking;.,
DALLAS, Or., July (To the Edit
or.) Wlll you fclndly permit an obser
servatlon or two from one who claims
to be a Republican, by virtue of hav
ing voted that ticket consistently from
the date of the Hayes-Tllden campaign
to the present day, freely and lovingly
who has never been tainted with Pop
ulism or any of Its fads, except that
for years I have been an advocate of
the Direct Primary, but never expect
ed It to supercede party councils Or
conventions. (I prefer the old-fashioned
word to the modern assembly.)
It is true that In former times, when
the convention was the last party
word, cliques sometimes dominated
them and forced objectionable candi
dates upon the party. This the direct
primary was intended to remedy. If
an aspirant for' office thinks he Is
double-crossed in the convention, there
Is no law to prevent his going before
his party at the primary with his pe
tition. He does not lose his party
standing, an if he can defeat the
convention or assembly choice he has
the right to go upon the ticket, not as
an Independent, but as the regular
nominee of the party, entitled to sup
port as such, and would receive It,
because in that event he would be a
majority and not a mere plurality
candidate. This fact will make con
ventions careful, arid only Buch men
will be named whose records can bear
the scrutiny of a closely contested
campaign.
All this talk about undoing the pri
mary is simply twaddle put forth by
two classes of people: One that would
move heaven and earth to defeat and
destroy the Republican party organ
ization; the other composed of office
hungry Individuals who are afraid to
submit their claims to the representa
tives of the party in council.
Scratch an anti-assembly man, and
you lay bare either a Democrat, a
Statement One'er, or that odd com
bination, tin so-called Chamberlain-
Bourne Republicans. The first is hon
est, sometimes the others are deluded
souls.
The Republican party of this state
stands for certain principles of gov
ernment, and does not exist merely to
keep some one In office.

BIG PROFIT IN FRUIT
Farmers Can Afford to Import Wheat,
If NeowiHary.
Most of the Willamette Valley farm
ers long since abandoned the practice
of growing wheat, which must find a
market in competition with the cheap
land and cheap labor of the Argentine,
India, Russia and other regions where
nature has been less kind than she
has been to Oregon. They have replac
ed the wheat crop with fruit and
small farming and are now receiving
larger returns per acre in a single sea
son than they formerly received In
ten. East of the Cascade Mountains
the country was not settled or devel-
oped until a number of years after the j
Willamette Valley became prominent (
as a wheat-growing section. As the
great territory lying east of the moun
tains was several years behind the val
ley In the wheat Industry, so also It
was relatively late In shifting from
wheat to more profitable crops.
The change Is coming, however, and
the extent of the development that
has already taken place Is again noted
In the sale of a fruit ranch near Day
ton, Washington for 1 159.000. On this
140-arre ranch are 100 acres of bear
ing orchard and 10 acres of young or
chard. That the large sum paid for
the ranch is quite reasonable Is shown
In the statement that the returns from
the orchard for the past three years
have exceeded 1100.000, and that the
crop of the present season Is estimated
at 71.000 boxes. While this Is the larg
est Individual transaction in fruit
farms that has yet been reported In
the Inland empire, there are a large
number of big orchards there, and the
output is Increasing enormously each
year.
Not all of the land that now grows
wheat Is w-ll adapted to fruit-growing,
but the greater profits of the In
dustry, as compered with grain-growing,
are certain to result In a steadily
Increasing acreage being withdrawn
from grain and placed In fruit and
mall farming. This mesne a larger
Married in Dallas.
Mr. Walter Cunningham and Miss
Maude Bennett were married at the
United Evangelical parsonage in this
city, Tuesday, the Reverend A. A., Win
ter officiating. Immediately after the
ceremony the young couple left on the
afternoon train for Adna, Washington,
where they will make their home.
They begin their married life with the
best wishes of many friends.

County School Superintendent H. C.
Seymour, of Polk County, was the first
superintendent In Oregon to forward
his annual report to the State Super
intendent of Public Instruction laBt
year. The Pollt County official would
have enjoyed this distinction again
this year had It not been for the de
lay caused by one school falling to
send In its report on time. This failure
to report promptly made it Impossible
for the Superintendent to forward his
report until Tuesday of this week a
delay which he greatly regrets, al
though Polk is even now one of the
earliest schools in the state to report.
The estimated value of - school
houses and grounds in the county da

the amount of $56,990. The value of
all school furniture and apparatus is
$18,205.
The average salary of male teachers
