Hlchard Blair, who was leported

Hick, as lie was commonly called
was the youngest son of ex-assessor
J. 11. Blair, and brother of W. 8.
Blair of Paisley and Mrs. Iovte
iteeder of Silver Lake. He was a
young and strong man not over 21
years of age, and had always been
well.
It Is sad. ludeed, to learu of the
death of anyone, but when strong
young men like Dick are called upon
to answer to the summons of death,
It puts life on a very toppling foun
dation. .
The general expression Is. "too
bad; Dick was a good boy, and it
Heenis sad for a young man just
entering the prime of life to be so
suddenly taken away." But such Is
death, and all. soouer or later, will
be marked as victims.

OREGON IN
THE LEAD
Reclamation Service Finds Large
Sum to Its Credit For Irri
gation of Arid West.
MENTlf-FIVt MILLION DOLLARS
From the annual report of the An
ditor of the Interior Department we j
glean the following facts relative to
the reclamation service In the sixteen
pnblic land states and territories of
the West:
The proceeds of the sales of public
lands In these states beginning Julj
1, 1SW1, were appropriated by the act
ol J uue 17, l'J02, for the construction
and maintenance, under thedlrection
of the secretary of the interior, of Ir
rigation works or the reclamation
of arid lauds in said states and terri
tories. The fund accumulated under this
act and set apart In the treasury as
a reclamation fund for the three fis
cal years ended June 30, 11)03, amount
ed to f 16,4,3:!9D4. The amount re
alized for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1M, lias not yet been definitely
ascertained, but It is know that this
sum will Increase the fund approxi
mately to fii.lKW.OtK). The secretary
of the Interior Is conducting the op
erations necessary to the accomplish
ment of the purposes for which this
large and Increasing fund Is appro
priated, through the officers of the
United States Geological Survey.
The accounts of many geueral and
fpeclal disbursing officers connected
with this service, and claims arising
under contracts for the construction
of canals, reservoirs, tunnels, dams,
aud various other works necessary
to the prosecution of an undertaking
of such magnitude, are settled here.
The settlement of these claims aud
accounts present many new questions
for consideration and results In a
material Increase in the amount of
work performed in this office.
The total number of disbursing
agents In the Interior Department
whose accounts were examined and
settled during the year is 400, of
which 208 were the Indian service, 18
were pension agents, 144 were In the
public land service and 30 were mis
cellaneous. Oregon's share of the fund appro
priated for reclamation purposes Is
approximately f 4.000.000.
Destroyed Public Property.
J. P. Duke was up town Monday
and Informed us that some miscreant
bad destroyed the government gaug
ing aparatus anchored out in tbe
lake for tbe purpose of obtaining tbe
evaporation of tbe lake. Mr. Duke
was appointed by 8. G. Bennett of
tbe Geological Survey to make these
observations and be attended to it
every Saturday. Wheu be went to
take observations last Saturday be
found that some one bad taken tbe
aparatu from Its wooden frame,
which is firmly anchored in tho lake,
leaving the frame. It will be reiiflein
bered a few weeks ago notices were
published In both tbe papers here,
warning parties against mole4tlng
tbe boat left at tbe lake for use lu
making evaporation records, owned
by the Government, and calling at
tention to tbe law providing for a
flue of f-'X) for the molestation of
public property and a reward of 125
for tbe luforraant.
Tbe party who destroyed the evap
orating pan would do well to lay
pretty low, as the government Is
none too lenient with perpetrators
of such crimp.
Pastors Appointed.
The closing session of the Oregon
Conference of the Methodist Episco
pal church, which n. held in Eugene'
Ore., occurred on the 3d of Oct., nt
which time, the pastoral appoint
ments were made, for the ensuing
year.
Hev. M. C. Wire was elected presid
ing elder of the Eugene district,
which includes what was formerly
the Grants Pass district.
The charge at Lakevlew was given
to Rev. Sanrord Snyder. The Pais
ley charge to W. R. T. Brown, who
was transferred from the North
Dakota conference.
The districts have la-en changed
from 4 to 3. The Eugene and Grants
Pass districts have Iwcn consolidat
ed. The conference reports show a
very successful year In all aspects of
the church work. The next confer
ence will Is? held at Albany.
Was Not Accepted.
Rev. D. T. Summervilie former pre
siding Elder of this district, was ap
pointed by the Oregon Methodist
Conference to fill the Albany pulpit,
but the Methodist church at Albany
lelng owned solely by the local con
gregation It Is their right to reject
any minister appointed by the con-
j ference, and they have rejected Rev.
! SSttm ffikj.rt-tll..
The Methodists at Albany wanted
either Rev. Heppe, who had promised
to go to the Albany Methodist
churc h at Portland, or Rev. J. W.
McDougall of Grants Puss, who did
not desire to leave his charge.
The action tak-n by the Albany
church Is not due to any personal
objection to Mr. Summervilie other
than his extreme age.
Off For Elko.
Guy T. Bowman, who bas worked
In this office, as foreman for the
past three years, gave up the job
last Saturday, and Monday left on
tbe southern stage for Reno, whre
be will take tbe S. P. train for Elko,
Nevada, where he bas accepted a
position on the Daily Independent
as foreman at a good salary. Mr.
Bowman Is a first-class printer, and
has done good work lu this office.
We wish him success wherever be
goes, and congratulate tbe publisher
of the Independent on bis good for
tune In se -urlng a good steady fore
man. " '

bead of 2 and 3-year-old weathers to

not expire by limitation on August
W, That the right to select land
under tbe Carey act bas not expired
and will not expire at any time now
fixed is declared in a letter from Act
lug Secretary of the Interior Thomas
Ryau. Applicatious iiOW uu file &u3
new ones are being considered.

started to do. that of clearing up
the postoffice frauds.
Geo. B. Cortelyou, bad been select
ed by the president to fill the office
made vacant by Mr. Payne's resig
nation, when should come, and it is
likely that the place will go to him.
Cortelyou Is now chairman of tbe
National committee and has bis
hands full with campaign work, and
it is not likely he will undertake the
duties of Postmuster General till
after election, and even then Mr. Cor
telyou will have much to do In the
final settlement of the campaign
business, and may desire to take a
rest, so that several weeks, and pos
sibly months will Intervene before
Mr. Cortelyou is ready to take
