An inch nn n quarter of moisture Wednesday is n pretty good record for nil nrid country. Ami that rec ord was nearly duplicated yester day. The Hritish bombarded a town ami captured the sultan in that odd corner of Africa known as Somaliland, but nil the news re porters were away on the Russo Japanese detail and the African performance got scant mention and that was evidently sent around to the newspaper office the ladies' missionary society. Hearst has failed in his campaign for the prcsideutal nomination be cause he did not adopt the Hon. John ltarrctt ns his running mate. That team would have constituted not only the Greatest Show on Karth, or elsewhere, but it would have beeu mighty diverting to sec their effort to get ahead of each other in jackasstical conspicuosity. According to the text of the cir cular issued by the general land office at Washington, carrying not ice of the amended law authorizing the taking of land applications and proofs outside the land office, it is made clear that such papers may .be executed outside of the land district in which the land lies, pro vided it be in the sanic county. From this it appears that such business may be transacted at Bend for laud as far south as the southern limit of Crook county, including all of township 22 south. Beyond that limit the business musttbedonc at Lakcvicw, Silver Lakt or Klamath Falls. Tliercls a U. S. commissioner at Silver Lake, the county clerk at Klamath Falls and the land office itself at Lakcview. The senate committee on public lands last Monday ended for this se4on the attempt to change the land laws. The bill to repeal the desert land act and the commution provision of the homestead laws was killed by a tie vote, Senator Fulton voting against the measure. He took the very saue position that proper enforcement of the laws will prevent fraud under them; that they are not of themselves more conducive to fraud than other laws and that their benefits are too great to admit of setting them aside lightly. Senator Ful ton is undoubtedly right. And it is not impossible to get a careful ad ministration of the land laws. This will be difficult if land officers are to be clieap politicians ignor ant of their duties and careless of the results of their acts, but with men of honesty and intelligence iu office the land affairs of the govern ment stioulu be as tree ot frauds as any other department of the public service. Considerable improve ment along this ' line has beeu made in Oregon in the past two years and more may be done. The "wide open" practices of two years ago have been entirely checked. It is to be observed, too, that the greatest abuses were under the lieu laws; indeed, all the looseness touching private applications and proofs was but a drop in the bucket compared with the crying evils of the scrip business. Individual claimants had small show for any thing the scrippers wanted. That, it is true, is largely fortified by statute, but the howl about the homestead, and desert, and timber and stone laws comes with bad grace from those so prominently identified with the enormous lieu laud profits. In this matter legal light comes wofully near to being moral wrong. The action of the house of representatives in pass ing n bill to prevent locating for est reset ve scrip on timber laud is a step in the right direction, but the senate will not take the matter up until next winter ami then may defeat it. TELEPHONE OUTFIT ARRIVES. UnouRh litiulpmcnt for Twenty Allies of l.lnc Now on Unrnl. Freight teams arrived last night with telephone instruments uud paraphernalia sufficient for so miles of line for the Deschutes company. The poles are set lor about five miles of line. The work of construction is goiug for ward and the telephone line will be in operation soon. The ditch excavation has been progressing satisfactorily the past week, though stormy weather interrupted the work two days. The road machine came iu for slight repairs Wednesday and went out again next day. General Manager J. O. John ton is expected to arrive tonight, com.iug in from Shnniko with hit automobile. He will spend sever al days here. F. C. Rowlcc, went to Prineville Monday to buy horses for the Deschutes company. He and Mr. Lovell returned Tuesday night, not having found horses that suit ed them. - Notes of the UullJcrs. The stone vault of the Des chutes company is completed and the adjoining office building is boarded up to the top of the second story. The dining room addition to the Drake residence is well along to ward completion and the frame of the other addition is up. New plate glass windows .hnyej super seded the smaller ones in the "front of the main building. rMilliard T.

Merrill will next begin work on a new store building on the west side of Wall street diageuully across the corner from the store of the Uend Mercantile Company. It will be 20x40 feet on the ground and two stories. The Pilot liutte Inn has begun to look very much like a hotel. Work is progressing very rapidly. The partitions are being put in, and the fire place in the office is completed. Frank Hedges, of Oregon City, this week bargained for a lot in Bend and he will put up a dwelling house there in a week or two soon as the lumber can be obtained. Shaw & Hrosterhousare building an addition on the east side of their saloon. The new structure will be used for a short order restaurant, which will be run by Jack Fatter- son, of Prineville. lid. Halverson is building a dwel ling house on the Lytic townsitc near C. I. Cottor's. The Pilot Butte sawmill outfit arrived from the railroad early iu the week and it is being rapidly put into position for service. The mill is expected to be iu oper ation by the middle of next week, though the gang edger and the shingle mill are not yet here. They are expected any day. Work on the O'Kane residence is well along and it will be ready to occupy within two weeks if labor can be had. There is shortage of builders as well as of building materials, which materially delays construction work. CONTUST NOTIOK. DcpAttiurut I'Mhe Interior, V. H Laud OUtCe, The Dalle, Otrgmi Arll I, 19"!
