Timber Land Proofs.
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

the dance.

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

starting point.

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.

And grand right and left.

By this time, feeling quite bruised and
battered, I was ready for most any kii.d

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

1903
Naval Officer Says Wireless Tele
graphy Is Unreliable.
“No reliable system of wireless
telegraphy has yet been developed.’’
This staiemeut was made by Rear
Admiral Royal T. 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 Burean of Ameri
can Ethnology, to Perform Mis
sion for Chicago Micaion.
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.
