COQUILLE RIVER STEAMBOAT CO Str. DISPATCH Texas Small Tarma. Of Interest to All. New Viceroy of India. Note and Comment. But a few years ago we heard much about the danger that lay in the acquisition of large landed estates under the ownership of the private individual or the real estate syndicate. The changes have been rung time and again on the decad­ ence of the small farmer and the development of the landlord—non­ resident in many instances—with his thousands, if not tens of thou­ sands of acres. And in truth some fifteen or twenty years ago it looked as if there were some warrant for alarm from this score. In what is now known as the Middle West, in the South and the Southwest, veri­ table empires were fenced in under one ownership, and valuable land for tillage was kept out of use to the detriment of the common weal. It was apparent for a time that the evil would grow rather than dimin­ ish, but such has not proved the fact. Texas has owned six million acres of lands, which have been under lease to great cattle corporations for grazing purposes. The leases have expired and Texas has decided to sell the land, instead of releasing it. Division of these tracts has been made, and they will be placed on the market next month at the the price of one dollar an acre. Not alone in Texas, but in the states of the Middle West and in other states which border the Gulf, the same general movement of the di­ vision of larger bodies of land for the creation of the small farm and the advent of tho small farmer has been going on for some time. So notable has this been that we may safely say the apparent danger from the large landed estate is rapidly passing away. Every student of economical fact will see in this movement as it is il­ lustrated in the Texas division of land the manifestation of American common sense which may be relied upon to save us from extremes in any direction. In California, in Texas, in Colorado, in Dakota, there has been abundant evidence to the effect that the princely domain, as we were wont at times to refer to the grain ranch or the cattle range that was measured by miles, and not by acres, was depriving the community of what it might pos­ sess if there were many owners of smaller tracts. It required no argument to show that the counhry would be the richer under the ownership system by the enhancement in land values from cultivation, by the value of the improvement which would fol­ low, by schools and churches, anil new centers of commercial activity which would come as a matter of course with tho greater number of people which the land would sup­ port. In other words, it has come to be the recognized fact that the small farm adds to the wealth of the state and the Nation: and in stinctivejy the American has turned to that which in general results will give him the best return.— Telegram. We gi»e the following from our late laws enaoted at the last session of the legislature, which is of gen­ eral interest to the people and should be thoroughly understood by each and every householder: Section 3. It shall be the duty of all physicians, accouchers or mid­ wives in the State to report to the secretary of the board of health of the city or county in which they may occur, all births and deaths and shall immediately report con­ tagious diseases as are specified by the State board, which may occur under their supervision, with a cer­ tificate of the cause of death, and such correlative facts as may be re­ quired in the blank forms furnished by the State Board of Health. When any birth or death may occur with no physician, accoucher or midwife in attendance, then euch birth or death shall be reported by the householder where or under whose supervision such birth or death occurred, with the cause of death, if such be known. Any death coming under the jurisdiction or supervision of any coroner shall be by him reported to the secretary of the board of health of the city or oounty in which such death may o c­ cur, within three days after death for burial purposes, and such deaths so reported shall not be required to be reported by any other person. No undertaker, sexton or other per­ son shall bury any human body un­ til he has received a permit to do so from the county or city health officer or some duly appointed dep­ uty. No such permit shall be is­ sued until there has been delivered to such health officer or deputy a certificate of death according to the form prescribed by the State Board of Health. In the event of any burial without a permit, as herein provided, the coroner of the county wherein such illegal burial was made may disinter the body, hold an inqueBt and, within three days thereafter, make a return of his findings to the nearest local health officer. London, Aug, 21.— The Indian office announces the resignation of Lord Curzon of Keddleston as Vioery of India, and the appoint­ ment ofthe Earl of Minto as his successor. Cruzon's resignation is thejresult ofcorrespondence between the viceroyand the Indian office over the re-organization of the army in India and the appointment of Lord Hitchner as commander- in-chief of the forces in India. The immediate cause of the resignation was the refusal of the cabinet to appoint Major-General Sir Edmund Barrow who was recommended by Cruzon.as military supply members of the council. John D.

It is reported early this week that fish nets were being manipulat­ ed within the prescribed limits be­ low the Golden Drift dam, and Tuesday night Water Bailiff W il­ liams paid a visit to the dam, uninvited. He discovered two piscatorial artists in a boat, maneu­ vering with their gear, but they eluded capture by bard pulling. Their nets however, were captured, five in number, and as a 250-foot net is quite a valuable piece of property, the owners are undoubt­ edly thinking hard as to whether tbey had better come to the front and pay their fines or lose their nets.— Oregon Mining Journal. ----- .... a ------------ Big Fire in P ortlan d.
