mining i.titip that every mining camp
would be better oil without. Members ol
one ilass ate designated as claim hogs.
They arrive in a dlsttkt early and stake
off all available vaiant ground, do no
work and hold their claims through the
medium ol relocation, hoping to sell to
ome neighbor who needs the ground.
The other class hangs around, watches
the movements of busy miners and when
they neglect to comply with some teclini-
cal requirement of the law, hastens to
jump the claim Involved, hoping to ac-
quire title to the property or else be bought

IN Till: Sunday Morning Oregonian Is 1
a two column eulogy " George Daniels,
of the New York Central, for his wonder-
lul adverting ol Oregon, and samples are
given of his "most striking advertise
ments," The "most striking" Ot these
Is the one headed, "In Oregon." It Is a
verbatim reproduction of one of Colonel
! Donan's "flyers," published last spring
bv the O. R. ' N., and all the rest are
rehishes of the same series of squibs
! written by the Colonel for that road.
Cortland papers paid no attention to this
splendid work when Issued right thereat
home, but when it comes all the way from
New York, stolen, they are thrown into
ext.icles of intellectual delight- Comment
Is unnecessary.

sentative he stated that, as a democrat,
, l heartily endorsed the action of the ten
democrats in the legislature who voted for
' Mitchell. Ills reason for this attitude, of
' course, is that he holds his citizenship
above narrow partisan fealty, and recog-
nate outcome of the senatorial deadlock.
