it is immense. We can remember when he
leaped out of Portland owing us bill, and
that was not immense.
IMPORTANT LAND CASE, Our readers will
find on the first page very important de-
cison by. the L. 5. Land Office at Washing

case referred to originated some seven years
ago, at or near kalama, in Cowlitz county,
wherein a farmer was threatened with loss
of his property, because it was likely to be-
come valuable for TOWNSHIP purposes.

this city are in the habit of entering row
boats tied on the bank OF the river to be
tossed by the waves made by passing steam
boats. Within a week two girls have fallen
in the water while thus engaged, and mar
rowly escaped drowning. Parents who know
they do this should endeavor to stop it be-
fore We have an unnecessary funeral or two

our companies is necessary at home on the
