BOMQARDNER DENTIST Office over Jackson's Store HOME PHONE IN EARTHQUAKE 75,000 PEOPLE REPORTED LOST At Medina 12,001) l'crlsh In Earth quake and Tlilal Have Ile of Sicily Devastated. Home, Dec. 29 A special dispatch received here from Palermo, Sicily, says the dead at Messina as the result of the earthquake and tidal wave of Monday are estimated at 12,000. Scores are still alive beneath the ruins of the city. Owing to the In adequate means of rescue at hand it will be Impossible to bring these people out alive. Other dispatches received here place the dead at Mes sina at even more appalling figures. The Trilmna publishes a telegram saying the casualties will reach a total of 75,000 persons. This report has not been substantiated. Twenty thousand persons were killed, according to one estimate, by an earthquano which Monday de stroyed most of the human habita tions on the eastern half of the Is land of Sicily and In the department of Calabria, Italy. It Is believed to bo the greatest disaster Of modern times. Reports arriving late all tend to confirm the statement that the catas trophe will equal that which oc curred in 1783, when 40,000 per sons perished at Messina. Swept by Tidal Wuve. According to late advices Messina. In Sicily, was terribly damaged by the first shock and later three fourths of the town practically was swept from the earth by a vast wave from the sea. Hundreds met death In this inundation. Calabrian towns, Palm!, Heggio, Sirilia and Bagnara are reported to have been destroyed completely, be ing now merely masses of ruinB. Many hundreds wore killed or in jured in each place. It Is reported that Rcgglo met tho same fate as Messina. Mount Aetna seems to have been the center of the disturbances and that portion of Sicily within a radius of 40 miles seems to have been laid waste. It Is not known whether the volcano Is in action, as that section of tho island Is complete ly cut off from the world, even the railroads of the entlro eastern half of tho city being destroyed. Tho village of Stefanianlconl, the inhabitants of which number 23,- 000, was virtually destroyed. Only five persons were killed, but many were Injured. King ami Queen to Aid. Queen Helena has refused to allow her husband, tho King, to go alone to the scene of tho disaster. She said she would not give up her privl' lege of bhariug her husband's dan gers and consequently both King and Queen left Rome this afternoon for the south. Tho Pope has been notified that the entire religious communities of Messina and Regglo, Including bish ops, priests, monks and nuns, have been wiped out by earthquake and fire. The region devastated Is subject to earthquakes and probably 250,000 persons have been killed by these phenomena in Sicily and Calabria In the lust three centuries.

The Issuance of the commission follows the attempt of the gas com pany to recover $10,800 paid to Lin forth for damages done his house on the finding of a Jury. Orchard, who Is serving a life sentence In Idaho stated that he blew up the Llnforth house In an attempt to kill Captain Bradley, who then resided there.

They are an em ployers' liability law, a measure pro viding a general eight-hour work day and a law that will put an end to the employment of convicts In competition with union labor. The bill for the employers' liability law has been prepared and the two other bills arc being drafted. These three measures have been indorsed and will be supported by tho State Grange.

This would leave the Blue Itlver mining country In Lane, while the presont Bohemia district, In both Lane and Douglas, would be Included within the boundaries of the new county. From the Bohemia district In Douglas the line would run west to the coast and include within the limits of the proposed Bohemia coun ty the towns of Yoncalla, Drain and Gardiner, all of which are at present In Douglas county.

NEW ENTRY" LAWS ON TIMBER LANDS U. S. LAND OFFICE MAKES REVISION AflVrt t'nocenpled, .Nun-Mineral, Tim ber and Stone Lands aud Define Method of Obtaining Title. New regulations concerning the taking up of timber and stone lands buve just been Issued by the United States Land Office. As tome of them are very sweeping in character we give them below for the information of our readers. "Any lauds subject to sale under the (oregoing acts, may, under the irection ot the Commissioner of the Ueueral Land office, upon application or othorwiee be sppiaiaed by smallest legal subdivisions, at tbeii reasonable al lies, but at no less than I'i.DO an ere, and beieafter no sales will be made under said acts except as pro- ided iu tbete regulations. "All reserved, unappropriated, uon- miueiul, surveyed, publio lauds with- u the publio lsud states, which sre valuable cblatly for the timber or stone thereon aud unlit lor cultiva tion at the date of sale, may be sold under this act at their appraised val ue, but in no case at less than 2.50 per acre, in contiguous legal subdivi sions upon which there is no existing miulug claim, or the improvements of auy bona fide settle claiming under the publio land laws. Unreserved and uuappiopriated ands are lands which are not includ ed wihtiu any military, Indian, or other reservation oi lu a national forest, or iu a withdrawal by the gov ernment for reclamation or other pur- uses, or which are not covered or embraced In any entry, looatiou, se- eotion, lor nliug which withdraws them from the public domain. ' Unoccupied lands are lands be longing to the United States upon which there are no improvements be longing io any person who Jhm initi ated and Is properly maintaining a valid miniug or other claim to suoh lands under the publio laud laws. Abandoned and unused mines, shafts. tunnels, ot buildings occupied by mete trespassers not socking title un der an; law of the United States do not pteveut timber and stone entries it the laud is otherwise capable of being so entered. "Non-mineral lauds are such lands a are not known to contain any sub stance reooglzed aud classed by stand ard niithoiitles ts mineral, in such quantities and of suob qualities as would, with reasonable prospects ol success in developing a paying mine tbereou, induce a person ot ordinary prudence to expend the time and mouey necessary to suon development. "limber is defined as trees ol suoh kind and quantity regardless of size, as may be used iu coustruotiug build ings, Irrigation works, railroads, tel egraph aud telephone lines, tram ways, canals or fences, or lu timber ing shafts and tunnels ot iu manufaa tuiing but does not include trees suit able far fuel only. 'Lands valuable chiefly for timber, but uunt for cultivation are lauds which are more valuable for timber tbun they are for cultivation in the oouditlon in which they exist at the late ot the application to purchase, aud therefore include lands which could be made more valuable for cul tivation by cutting and clearing them of timber. The relative values tor timber or uultlvatlou must be deter mined from conditions of the land existing nt the date of the applica tion to purobase. "Lauds in all publio land states may bo sntered, but timber aud stone entries can not be made In the Ter ritories or iu the Uistriot of Alaska. "One timber aud stone entry may be made tor not more than KW acres bv anv person who is a citizen of the United States, or who bus declared bis intention to beoome such citizen, if be is not under 21 years of age, and bas not already exhausted bis right by reason of a former applica tion tor an entry or that kind; or nas not already acauired title to or is not claiming under ths homestead or des ert laud laws through settlement or entry made since August 30, 1800, on other lands wbioh, who toe lana ne applies fcr, would aggregate more than 3'J0 acres ;or ib)by an association ot suoh persons, or (o) by a corpora tion, eacb ot whose stockholders Is so qualified. "A married woman may mane entry if the laws of the Btate in wbioh she applies permit married women to purobase sod hold for themselves real estate but she must make the eutry for her own benefit, and not in the iutereat of her husband or any other person, and she will be required to show that the money she pays for the land was not furuisbed by her bus band. ' "Any qualified person may obtain title under the timber aud stone law by peiformiug the following acts: (a) Personally exumining the laud duall ed; (b) presenting au application aud sworn statement, accompanied by a filing fee of 810; (o) depositing with the reoeiver tho appraised price of the laud; (dl publishing notice ot his ap plication and proof; (e) making final proof. "Examination of the land must be made by the applicant iu person not more than thirty days; before the date of his application, in order that he may knowingly swear to its char acter and condition.
