CALLS IT A DISGRACE.
The Baker City Epigram Exposes the
Sturgill Bar Fraud.
The Baker City .Epigram is in
receipt of a communication asking
for the facts concerning the report
ed Sturgill bar strike on the Snake
river. Inasmuch as the Press
copied the reported find, it will aU
so give the other version of the af
fair as published in the Epigram:
"It will be seen at a glance what
effect such a false .report has when
sent broadcast through : the press.
About ten days ago the Democrat
published what it - claimed as a
truthful report from a reliable per
son of a rich strike at Sturgill bar.
It was claimed that $14,000 was
picked up off the bedrock, in nug
gets of all sizes, and that thousands
of dollars were still in sight, it
gave inference that there was plen
ty of the same kind of ground, etc.
Of course the publication did little
injury and created little comment
in this community where the pa
per is knowffastitterlyjUnre4itrrle
and the editors, at times, hardly re
sponsible for what they write. But
when it got out of. a small circle,
through the medium of other pa
pers, the harm is at once apparent.
During these hard times men are
deceived and lured , from their
homes and families by such artic
les in the . hope of bettering their
condition. I hey argue that where
such rich strikes are being made
thev surely could find something or
at least secure employment of some
kind. The Epigram is informed
by parties in from that Bection that
the story was a falsehood and that
while the mines in that neighbor
hood were being worked successful
ly not even an unusual cleanup
bas been made this season. Such
a course is a disgrace to journalism
It would have shown a little differ
ent spirit had the Democrat prompt
ly denied the reoort when it had
ample opportunity to ascertain that
it was Jaise,": ' ; 1 r- ;
NOTICE BY PUBLICATION.
A Decision Affecting Settlers on Lands
in Congressional Grants.
A decision of Secretary Hoke
Smith that is of considerable im
portance to settlers oulanda within
the limits of congressional grants
has been received at the Oregon
City land office. This decision was
given in a case appealed from the
commissioner of . the general land
office by the Willamette Valley fe
Cascade Mountain : Wagon Road
Company, in the case against , Geo
W. Hager, a homesteader. Thi
secretary says that he -"is satisfied
that the previous decision of the
department,' holding that tho fail
ure of the company to', respond to
the settlers publication of notice to
submit final proofs precludes the
company from making objection
thereafter to the allowance of such
entry, is clearly contrary to the de
cision of the supreme court and to
the established rules of practice,
and, therefore, such decision is
everruled.' , - ...
In the opinion filed tho secretary
says the right of the company did
not attach' to any particular sec
tion until after, selection; that the
filing of the map of definite loca
tion and the construction of the
road did not operate to . withdraw
the lands from settlement and en
try. The withdrawal become ef
fective when filed in the local land
office and it then operated to re
serve for the benefit of the company
the odd numbered sections within
the six-mile limit of the grant, and
thereafter such would not bo sub
ject to settlement and entry under
homestead and pre-emption laws,
He says:
"If the land withdrawn was not
subject to settlement and entry,
and if no legal or equitable right
could thereafter be acquired by
settlement and occupation so as to
defeat the company's right of sel
ection, 1 cannot see how the com
pany s right could be defeated by
failure to appear at the. local land
office and object to the final proof
in response to the general notice of
publication. The withdrawal by
the secretary was intended to with
hold these lands from settlement
and entry, for the benefit of the
company. Furthermore, the with
drawal of these lands for the bene
fit of the company was a matter of
record and the company should
have been especially cited to ap
pear. ihe publication of notice of
intention to make final proof is not
sufficient notice to a claimant of
record, but simply to such claim
ants as cannot be discovered by an
examination of records of the local
land office.
i( While I recognize the propriety
of the withdrawal made by the ex
ecutive to protect the company in
the exercise of its rights to make
selections in. satisfaction of , its
graut, I am also impressed with
the importance; of requiring the
company to make . the selections
necessary to satisfy its grant as
epeedly as possible in order that
the surplus remaining in the lim
its of this withdrawal may ; be re
stored to settlement and entry.
The reason alleged by the comp'any
for failure to make selections to
satisfy the grant is that the govern
ment has failed to have the lands
surveyed. This reason no longer
exists. The act of August 20, 1894,
authorized the deposit of a sufficient
sum by the owners .of grants of
public lands, fpr the purpose of
having a survey of the townships
within the limits of their grants.
If this company refuses to accept
the benefit of this act, it will be re
quired to make its. selections from
the surveyed portions of the lands
along the line of its road, , and , the
withholding of the unsurveyed
lands, along the line of the road
will be revoked. It will therefore
be notified that a survey must be
made of such lands as it desires to
survey on or before ' November 1,
next, and to make all selections
necessary to satisfy its grant with
in, ninety days thereafter,; and
therefpifc-4lje withheld lands will
be revoked." . . ;

INFECTED NURSERY STOCK.
Fruit Commissioner Dosch Finds a Bad
. State of Affairs at Canby.
; Since the discovery of so much
diseased fruit trees ii Eastern Ore
gon by Fruit Commissioner Hobbs,
which it was stated had been ship
ped from Canby, Commissioner
Dosch, in order to ascertain
the facts in the matter, visited
Canby and mad a a thorough ex
amination of the nurseries in that
vicinity, says the , Oregonian. He
found the stock in these nurseries
pretty badly diseased. Quite a
number of trees were "heeled in,"
preparatory to shipment, of which
about 90 percent were dead, and
of a large lot in nursery, rows, 75
per cent, were diseased. The nur
serymen were honest in their be
lief that the trees were healthy un
til they were shown to the contrary
by cutting the bark n the nursery
stock. t Adjoining nurseries were
visited and found to be in about
the same condition, except one or
two large blocks of prune trees.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRILBY.
From the Lips of a New York Gam n
Mickey.
"Say, Mickey, wat's Trilby?"
"Hully geel Trilby aint' a naw-
thin. Trilby's a dame. Why
don't you read, Jimmy?"
"Well, den, who's Trilby?" "
"Oh, youse fellows makes me
tired. Youse don'tknow nawthin.'
I read de book up at de doctor's.
Trilby was a dame wot was bro't
up in de Fourt' ward m Pans. Her
old man wuz a preachet, but got
ter hittin' d6 bottle to lively, and
he old ludy slung gin in a joint.
Dey got stuck on each other and
hitche up, but de booze got de best
of dem, and dey croaked in Paris
and left two kids. De girl was
Trilby, but the boy kid don't cut
no ice in de story. De girl wuz a
dandy, and some painter bloke got
stuck on her shape, and made a
model of her to draw from. Den
dey all got a-paintin' her and mak
in' chalk images of her left foot or
somethin,' an bo she met three Eng
lish guys who wuz in Paris learn
in paintin.1 There wuz a big
bloke, bigger'n Corbett, and a
Scotch mflg and a little dude. Of
course, Trilby's old man bein' Eng
lish, she fell right in wid dis push,
and soon she wuz mendin deir
socks and right to home wid dem,
"Bimeby the big fellow got spoon
ey, but youse kids can't understand
that part of it. Anyway, the little
dude wuz the winner, Dat's jufct
like do wimmin; dey don't know
when dey got a good thing. , If
she'd made a play for the big guy
I think he'd a flew the coop with
her, and den de story would't ha'
been ritten. But the kid wuz the
winner, ez I sed; but she gev him
de marble heart because she know'd
she'd been sittin' round wid the
painters widout "no close on, and
his folks mighn't like it. ' So den a
dago wat wuz a great musicianer
got in wid de gang and, of course,
he got stuck on Trilby, too. He
wasn't no good except fer playin.
the pianer, and wuz always pullin'
some one's leg and. wouldn't give
any one the . glad hand Who wuz
fool enough to cough up-well-, any
way, when the kid told her ho d
skip if she didn't marry him she
weakened and said all right.
"Den de kid's ma came over
from London and put the blinkers
on the whole racket and made
Trilby fire him, see? Den de dude
took sick and de dame went on de
bum fur awhile, when she met de
dago and he mesmerized her, samo
as de bloke did does guys up at de
museum last week, and hully gee,
how she could sing when she was
asleep-noi I mean when she was
under his influence Well in a few
years she made a big hit all over
Europe and come to London, and
wot d'yer think? Do night she
wuz to make her dahoo-dat means
her first appearance, see?-didn't
de dago drop ded in the box Beared
t' deth of the big feller I wuz tell
in' yer about wot was stuck on
Trilby in Paris, who wuz in de
theayter dat night! Gee! den dare
waz fun! She couldn't sing a little
bit, because de dago wuzn't deie to
mesmerize her, and she got sick
and the little dude got sick. But,
anyvay, they both croaked. But
youse couldn't tumble to dat part
of the story. But if youse could
read and understand dere's lots I
couldn't tell about dat would make
yer leak even if you wuz tuff. The
big feller wuz a corker, and the kid
wuz a game one. too, but yer can't
phaze wimmin. My Maag is jest
de same way, Hully geel" Sun

The Way It Turns Out.
The fresh newspaper man is thus
dwelt upon by Walt Mason in a
recent issue of the Nebraska editor.
In a Nebraska town there dwels a
man who has long held that he
could dit an ordinary paper suc
cessfully and not devote more than
one hour a day to the work. "It is
nothing," he has been accustomed
to say, "to write a column or two
of comments on the events of the
day." Not long ago the editor of
one of the papers in that town was
called away for a week, and the
man who knew it all was presuad-
ed to take charge of the editorial
columns in his absence. Tho first
day he did very well dashing off a
column and a half without trouble.
On the second he prespired freely,
although the room was cold, before
he got to work: on the third day
he walked the floor and pulled his
whiskers out by the handful, and
on the next he wrote about half a
.7
mm w
column and nearly broke a blood '
vessel in the effort. On the re-'
maining days he used the scissors
exclusively, and said that ha would
not be an editor for all the wealth-'
of the Indies. There aro lots of ,
men who think they could, edit
papers while dozing in hammocks. '

Explaining How It Happened.
The Telegraph Age tells how a
telegraph editor in a Boston news
paper office wrote a note of remon
strance to the telegraph operator,
because the setter of his copy had
entirely omitted the letters "f" and
"k," where they should have ap
peared., The operator applied to .
this note as follows:
