"The land covered in thia lint are within the Cascade forest reserve, and were purchased by these operator, and in fraudulent manner, for the purpose of Wing used a base or scrip for in demnity selection, and hnve already Imen used for that purpose. The gov ernment. however, after thorough In vestigation and discovery of the fraud ulent character of the application! by which these school landa were pur chased from the atnte, la taking tea toward setting aside patents to the land given in lieu of these aaid school sections. "If there is fraud sufficient, and there undoubtedly is. to justify the federal government in setting aside Hie patent to the lieu lands, there is surely fraud sufficient to justify the state in bringing Jsuit to set aside the deeds from the state to Henson and Hyde. t "Should the state recover title to these land they may be used as basis for indemnity selections, and at the present price of base would net the state easily about $7.VUXM.

Convict are being ' sent gradually to the varioua atate In stitution to act aa employes. In this capacity they will have virtually the same privilege that are"extended to the other employe. They will probab- ly be paid 25 cent day a spending I . ..... IT. money or to le piaccu to ineir cretin against the time of their release. "If 100 men at the prison can be placod at some employment which will lie of value to tho atate, a great sav ing can bo made." aaid the governor. "Estimating the labor of tnese men a valued at $2 a day, it would mean a saving of nearly $200,000 annually. "I am now working on plana where by I hoe to accomplish just this thing and pluce at least 100 men at work. A new contract with the Loewetilcrg & Going company will make such a move iHissible, and I believe it can be accomplished. "In the mcatnime as many men as I can sHHibly find room for will be plac ed at the institutions and have decent labor to ierform. I am satisfied under the conditions that they will need no ' guard and will be on a quicker road to reform than under the former system. Salem. May 4.- Member of the State Roard are grappling with the prob lem of allowing no deficiencies to pile up at the state institution before the next aeasion of the legislature and are finding the tank somewhat more diffi cult than it was at first supposed to be.

As a last and drastic move, there is a possibility that the salary of employ es may be decreased. Thi has not been given serious consideration so far. but has been mentioned and dis cussed. Objection is made, particularly by Superintendent f?tiner, of the asy lum, that such a move would mean that a large number would probably leave the employ of the state.

Recently, the aged poet fell sick, and for many days, while jhe lay in a hospital here, .his life wa despaired of. His daughter hastened Jfrom New York to nurse him. Under her care the poet rallied. When her father seemed to be gaining in strenght, the daughter went again to New York and immediately retumeM with Mrs. Miller. Then, after two months in the hos pital, Miller was taken to "Juanita Cottage," the retreat which he had built with his own hands in the height over looking the Pacific:.

Don't be misled by trickily-worded promises that warrant cars for indefinite periods. Some of these "guar antees," carefully analyzed, really mean nothing.
