The applicant to purchase land in not required to go on the land personally before he can make hie proofs and get his patent. That is the decision of the United Slates court of ap|**als in the Seventh district recently in a case that went up from the state of Wisconsin. It was the case of Stella W. Hoover vs Ernest N. Sailing. Mrs. Hoover filed first but made no proof of having gone upon the land to examine each quarter section. Sailing's grantor filed later but went on the land and so proved before the regieter and receiver, who gave him the land. On appeal to the courts the ruling was reversed and the land was given to Mrs. Hoover. Tins is a very important decision and is next iu au thority to the United States supreme court. It was made by Judges Woods, Jenkins and Grossip, three eminent United States judges. Gobble ’Em Up, Gentlemen. A similar law to the following was pissed at the last session, when all the river and streams were gobbled up, but which did not stick. I). C. Miles, of Yamhill, is the promo ter and introducer ol a bill providing for the improvement and use of rivers, streams and sloughs, which are not nav igable for general commercial purposes, and for the use thereof for floating, tran sporting and booming of logs, declaring such rivers and streams public high ways. Section 2 of this act says ; ‘‘Any indi vidual or association, residents of this state, shall have and is granted the ex clusive right to improve, regulate man age and control the floating, transpor tation and booming of logs and other timber products, upon any such river, stream or navigable waters. Such indi vidual or individuals shall file for record with the County Clerk notice of inten tion to operate on such streams, and shall further cause an accurate survey to lx made of the part to which they desire to acquire rights, together with the pro bable cost of improvement they propose to make. Within six months after filing notice and tluir map they shall begin and prosecute their work. This work must be in the nature of removing all obstructions in the streams. “Whenever it may be found necessary to secure land adjacent to the stream, this may t»c done by purchasing, or con demning, if the price is too high. “ The owners must also file with the County Clerk a schedule of tolls for which the logs and timber of other com panies or individuals will lx Boated through the body of water to which they have acquired such rights.’* Cowhoy Dances. Miss Ward in the January Pearson's give« the following «imping deecription of her first western cowboy da'ice: "It was with many misgivings, in apitejvf my partner s aa«u rn nee he would pull me through, that I take uiy place in the dance. •Honor yer pardner«. Rights the name." 8» far I bowed. as did the rest. "Balance you all " With a plunges« of a iiiadrlened steer my partner came to ward me, 1 smothered a scream as I was seised and swung around lake a bag of meal. Before I could get my breath I was pushed out in answer to Finn lady out to the right: Swing the man that stole the sheep. Now the one that hauled it home. Now the one that eat the meat. And now the one that gnawed the bones. Not tieing well acquainted with the private hietories of the men in the set, was a little disadvantage, Isit I was seised swung, and |sowed on to the next un il I finally arrived breathless nt the starting point. First gent sw mg your opposite pardner. Then yer turtle dove, Again your oppoait? pardner, And now yer own true love. I blushed in spite of myself at so publicly posing as my pardner’s “turtle dove,’ and “own true love,” while his sweetheart over in the corner, transfix ing me with a jealous glare, saw no humor in the situaiijn. Again came the command; First couple out to the right, Cage the bird. Three hands round. I found myself in the center of a circle formed by my partner and the second couple und then exchange places with my partner at the call: Birdie hop out and crow hop in. Three hands ’round and go it again. Allvmane left; back to pardner And grand right and left. Come to your pardner once and a half Yellow hammer right and jay bird left. Meet your pardner and all chew hay, You know where and I don’t care. Seat your pardner in the old arm-chair. By this time, feeling quite bruised and battered, I was ready for most any kii.d of a chair. PROVES A FAILURE. MANCHURIA A VAST LAND. The most populous province of Manchuria is that of Laotuug, which is penetrated by the branch railway from Harbin to Port Arthur. For a distance of 400 miles, extending from the Sungari river to New-Chwang, the railroad passes through a level, well watered region, densely crowded with population and under the high est state of cultivation. The total population of Manchuria is variously estimated from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000, but there seems little doubt that Laoting also has a popu lation of as much as 12.000,000, and that the total cannot be much less than 20,000,000. These, however, are largely Chinese. The Manchus are a fading race, their success in arms having, as is often the case, led to their ultimate decay, for ever since the establish- ment of the Manchu dynasty at Pekin, in 1644, they have been drawn in large numbers to Pekin and to Quaint Features of Life. the garrisons stationed in all the The kuiaer has issued a decree principal Chinese town*.

Peaceful Arts. H. P Kelloris the owner of a hundred- acre squirrel park on one of his farms two miles west of Ripley, Tenn.

Nations having irreconcilable lines of progress have seemed to be able to ascertain that which is most fit to survive only by the arbitrament of the sword, but who can say how many peaceful arts have been destroyed, how much the progress of the conquered race has been retarded, how much the spirit of intolerance, arrogance, vainglory and hypocritical cant has not been fos- tefeii in the victorious nation and has interrupted her development? “Civilization is not extended so much by stretching the boundary line as by the growth of peaceful arts; it is suspended during national con- flicts.” Ernest Schilling, the coachman who created a sensation years ago by elop ing with the daughter of Millionaire , Morosini, has returned to his old voca tion and is now coachman for a doctor in Astoria, N.Y.

Bradford, chief of the bureau of equipment, who has es pecial charge of all matters connect ed with couimunica.ions in the navy. Upon the recommendation of Rear Admiral Bradford, tests of various systems, which are declared to have worked satisfactorily, have been in progress between the Washington navy yard and the naval aeauemy. The admiral declined to make public any of the results of the tests, bui i ere is reason for believing that i.>ey have not shown the desirability ■ i the immediate equipment of the .service with wireless telegraphy sys tem. The recent maneuvers demonstrat ed the need of wireless telegraphy provided a reliable system could be obtained, but it has not been pro duced, according to Rear Admiral Bradford, and the navy will probably have to wait until something more satisfactory is found. The tests will not, however, cease. The department wants to find out just what each sys- tem is worth. And right alongside of thia discour aging statement of the naval officer comes the declaration of another tri- umph in wireless telegraphy achieved by Marconi, according to a cablegram received by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company, of New York city. Heretofore the inventor’s success has been in the transmission of sig nals and messages over the sea, and signals partially over the sea and par tially over land. These performances have been eclipsed by the receipt at Spezia, on the Mediterranean, of per fect Marconigrams or messages from Poldhu, in Cornwall, England. From the Cornwall station to Spe- zia, which lies between Genoa and Naples, the distance is about 1,100 miles. Previous to last week, though signals had been flashed a long dis tance overland, complete messages had not been transmitted more than 40 miles. How complete is his .new triumph is shown by the message of Marconi to his London office filed at Spezia, in which he said: “Perfect messages received inside Gibraltar harbor and throughout en tire course of Mediterranean tour, di rect from Poldhu, across France, Spain and Alps. All telegrams for king of Italy and minister received correctly on tape off Spezia.’’ Marccni, who is at Rome, declares in an interview that he has complete ly solved the problem of sending wireless messages over a distance of more than 1.500 miles, and that he is confident that communication be tween Europe and America will be established m the immediate future.

James Mooney, of the bureau of American ethnology, has just arrived in Washington after a few years’ study oi the Kiowa Indians and their methods of recording heraldry in their shields and tepee decorations. Mr. Mooney will make a similar study of the Arapahoe Indians for the Field Columbian museum at Chicago. Dr. G. A. Dorsey, curator of the Field museum, accompanied Mr. Moody to the reservation of the Arapahoe In dians and witnessed their sun Jance. His interest, becatpe so great in Mr. Mooney’s work that he gave him a commission for the Chicago museum. Mr. M ooney had copies made from the original tepees of the Kiowas by native Indian artists, showing the wonderful art of tracing heraldry through their shield and tent decora tions. From these paintings on buck skin a group of models will be made for the national museum. There will be a hundred tepees in the collection, all surrounding a medicine lodge, and f<dlowing the arrangement for the sun dance. In the collection for the Field Co lumbian museum there probably will be 150 models, the same ideas being followed out as for the national mu seum. Mr. Mooney’s illustrated report on the Kiowa Indian medicine lodges will be issued from the government printing office within the next few weeks. Imlthaniilan GWa Fine Gift.
