The city council met in regular ses
sion Monday evening with Mayor Gil
liam and Councilmen Quaid, Day, Cohn
and Warnock present.
Alter tue uispot-ition oi numerous
bills a resolution from the Heppner
Railroad &, Coal Company was taken up
It asked for an extension of a year's
time in which to construct a railroad
through the city limits along lines sped
fied in the franchise granted last Feb
ruary. The extension was granted.
The matter of purchasing three lots
ia the lower end of town from Mrs
eiiipiey was aiscuseeJ, but as no
definite price had been named the
matter was postponed to some future
meeting.
The matter of further street improve
ment was then taken up and after some
discuss'on it was decided to continue
with the work on Main, May, Church
and Gale streets. These streets will all
be graded and improved in a aimilas way
to the Main street work, now about
completed.

Cunningham, Hartman and Parks
were released under $2000 bonds, while
the others were let off with 500, which
was furnished.
The information was filed by Special
Land Inspector A. R, Greene. County
Judge Hartman, a prominent Democrat,
nown throughout the state, is charged
with taking and certifying to testimony
which he knew at the time to be false.
oe Parkes is charged with making out
the papers when he knew the subject
matter was unknown to the persons sup
posed to be giving it. Charles Cunning
ham is charged with inducing the others
to enter upon homesteads and gain title
to them for the sole purpose of trans
ferring the title in the land to him.
Ray burn, O'Hara, Baling, Jones,
anacneuora, James ana otters are
charged with making the fraudulent
entries. The specific charges against
them are that tbey filed on homesteads
which they had never seen and never
did see; made oath that they had re
sided thereon six months when they
were never near them; swore they had
erected houses thereon to the value of
$70 when they hadn't put a shingle on
the ground, and finally made final proof
and paid for the same with Cunning
ham's money.

"All the fences must come down."
That's what Uncle Sam at Washing-
ton told John H. Hall, United States
istrict attorney for Oregon. Uncle
Sam said a lot of other things, too, some
of which Mr. Hall rememebered when
he arrived home recently, others of
which he didn't think of for the moment.
"All fences enclosing areas of the
public domain," said Mr. Hall, inhaling
deeply of the warm midwinter breeze,
the like of which had not entered his
lungs since his departure for the
national capital, 16 days before, "must
be removed. The ultimatum from
Washington is final. I am instructed
to enforce to the letter the laws against
fires and trespass on the public domain.
I shall have all the assistance I need.
and when spring comes, inspectors will
get busier than ever."
"Every single solitary fence?" was
asked.
Yes, sir. I explained to the au
thorities at Washington that it the law
were enforced it should be enforced im
partially and rigorously. I told them
that stockmen have been enclosing
public land with fences from very early

When You Have A Cold.
The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
htt accomnlished bv the free use of
Cbamberlain'a Cough Remedy. This
remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its spulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces a free eiectoration
and opens the secreUona. A complete
cure soon follows. Tbis remedy will
curt a sever cold In less time than any
other treatment and It leaves the system
In a natural and healthy condition. It
counteracts any tendency toward pneu
tuonla. For aalt by Slocum Drug Co.
The demand tor beef cattle baa been
increasing steadily with the adyance
of winter. The prospects for pulling
cattle through the winter with the hay
now on hands is growing brighter and
brighter every day to stockmen, and
they are in no hurry to sell for this
reason. When the winter began it was
feared that feed would be short and
there was a rush to sell, especially from
the Interior. Several thousand bead
were bought from Interior stockmen by
the Seattle buyers at prices ranging
from fi.aj to $3.50 tor steers, cows at
do time reached $J. Just what could
have touched the market that this
Portland firm should pay $3.50 tor cows
is unknown.
