Will Work Nightsv
The Chas. K. Spaulding Logging Co,
is having lights put into the Salem saw
mill, with a view to running the planers
and perhaps other machinery with night
shifts. The Citizens' Light I Traction
Co is putting in the lights and will fur
nish the "juice" for running them.
This means the steady employment of
an additional force of men at th'e big
mill. Mr. , Spaulding, who is now in
charge here, does not., say what othed
additions will be made to increase the
output of the nijlls, but there is no
doubt that his company will keep up
with and ahead, of t fie demands made
upon them, and they will not stopit
this. They will go out and hunt up
prospective 'demands. ?
B. B. Byan's Runaway-
Yesterday forenoon as R. R. Ryan was
driving a fractious team down East
State street It took fright at an ?W
trie car in front of C. E. Budlong'S
grocery store and ran into a telephone
pole, breaking one hind wheel down, one
of the horses breaking loose and leav
ing the other fast to the carriage. R.
Reramington, who was riding with Mr.
Ryan, jumped out and sprained his an
kle slightly. Dragging the buggy clear
of the pole, the other horse continued
his run down State , street, with the
driver hanging onto one line for dear
life. 7n some way the bridle slipped
over the horse s head in such a manner
as to render it unmanagablc. After
crossing Twelfth street the horse got
loose from the rig, leaving Ryan still
holding to the line. lie might hav?
been sittmgthere yet if some of .his
friends had "not informed him that his
horse was gone. After the horses were

threshing, presumably because it did
not get away too.

IT TAKES ACTION
State Land Board Adopts Orders Per
taining to Ftttnre Disposal
of Lands.
No lion Money to Bs Accepted Upon
r Outstanding Certificates Nor Deeds
" Issued On Certificates Except Upon
"Approval of State Land Officials.
(From Saturday's Daily.)
The approval and adoption by ' the
state ' land board yesterday afternoon
of the orders outlined at the meeting
Tuesday afternoon officially; inaugu
rates the new system : of disposition ef
the- state school lands and make it
practically impossible for farther fraud
to be perpetrated upon tho stare if the
proper diligence is pursued by the offi
cials. One of the orders, whieh now
becomes a ruling in effect, provides
that no tender of payment upon the list
of certificates furnished the board by
the Marion County grand jury, as
showing evidence of fraud having been
committed, will be accepted by the
board unless approved by the clerk of
the board and the state land agent.
The other "ruling as to the effect that
no deeds will be issued upon any out
standing certificate except upon the
written approval of the clerk and stats
land agent, after thorough investiga
tion.' ' - .
The list of certificates furnished the
board by the grand jury, as bearing
evidence of forgery and fraud, com
prise approximately 1,700 In number
and represent in the neighborhood of
1,000,000 acres of timber and agricul
tural land,' valued at from $2-50 to $12
per acre. Unless the holders of these
certificates appear before the .board
and prove conclusively-that they were
procured regularly and without fraud,
the certificates will be subject to can
cellation bv the board, and th title nf
the land will revert to the state, "
- - . - ;
well as all moneys paid upon them will
be subjeet to forfeiture. These lands,
whieh are recovered to the state, will
then be subject to disposal under the
new system. ;
The new form of application blank,
as described in The Statesman of yes
terday, was also completed, submitted
to the board and approved yesterday
afternoon. ' The preamble under which
this new application blank was adopt
ed reads: "Inasmuch as the bosrd has
in a number of instances heretofore
been imposed upon by fraudulent ap
plications to purchase state lands.
therefore, in order to further guard
against such applications, it is ordered
that from and after this date, all ap
plications to purchase shall be in the
following form.' The application must
be sworn to before a county clerk or
notary public ! The signature of the
applicant must j be witnessed by two
persons personally known to the eoun
ty clerk or notary public, who must
Sign tbe affidavit. The two witnesses
must also mske separate affidavit, giv
ing their full names and places of resi
dence, to the effect that they are per
sonallly acquainted with the applicant
and tnat, in their belief, he makes the
application in good faith and for his
own nse and benefit. The attestor mnst
also make affidavit as to the frenuine-
nea of the aignatures of the two wit
n esses.
The full texts of the two orders made
by the state land board, the subetanee
of which is given above, follow:
Payments on Certificated State Lands.
Wheress, tbe grand jury for Mari

that a certain list of certificates were

and in order that no further payments
