The following circular has been IS
sued from the State House by the Board
of School Land Commissioners. The
impression has been given out that the
parties who have purchased school land
were compelled to go to the local agent
of the Board and have certificate is
sued that they are the owners Of the
land. This we are informed is not the
case. Where parties live near the Cap
itol It is advisable for them to apply to
the Board in person, when they viii be
informed what steps are necessary to 90
to the County Clerk and have him issue
certificate that the title Is vested in
the person named, when new deed
will be issued, without any expense to
the owner. We would advise all who
have heretofore purchased land from
the State to examine their title and If
it Is defective secure new deed imme-
diately. The circular reads as follows
SIR Having been informed that
you are depending upon an old deed
from County School Superintendent
to certain School lands, OF which you
are now In possession, it is deemed ad-
visabIe In order TO protect your inter
est Of the State, TO call your attention
to the fact that the Board regards all
said superintendent deeds as made
and that without the power to convey
title to such lands, as the Territory new
er had any. title to them, they being on
ly reserved mot granted) by the
United States by the organic act, (see
act 9 U. s. Statutes at Large, p. 323,
section 20) and granted to the State
b9 the act of admission (see act IN u.
s. Statutes at Large, p. 3s3, section ~
and by the same act our State Consti-
tuition became our fundamental law,
which prohibits the sale Of such lands,
except by the Governor, Secretary Of
State and State Treasurer, (see Oregon
Constitution, article viii, section 5, and
on construction thereof, see General
Laws Of Oregon, compiled by Deadly
and Lane, p. 635, foot note ?
Hence, as far as practicable, to pro-
tect persons who purchased from sach
Superintendent, as also the assignees
Of such purchasers, the Board has de-
termined, upon proper application and
showing, to make to purchasers or their
assigns, confrmatory deeds for all such
lands 50 purchased and paid for, In all
cases wherein the State still holds the
title at the time Of such application
and showing.
AS the State has no record of such
Superintendent deeds, the lands inclu-
ded therein is liable until the making
Of such application and showing to be
sold and conveyed to some other per
son, and the rights Of such original
purchasers or their assigns thereby de
feated. Hence, you viii observe the
advantage that may accrue to you by
prompt attention to this matter. Ser
vices rendered in your case, done oy
this Beard is without fee or charge
4 If you know of any of your neigh
bors who are depending on such Super
intendent's deeds, you viii probably
confer favor on them by calling their
attention to the matter and showing
them this letter, which is applicable to
all similar cases arising In your county
as well as your own.
Very respectfully yours,

thirty-four men, says the Walla Wal

The Statesman says: Statistics 60
10 show the quantity of wool raised
in Oregon has increased $50 per cent.
in the last eight years, and as it Is
reasonable to suppose the same in
crease will follow in the next ten
years, the production Of wool will
amount to nearly 1000, ,OO0 pounds,
or 80, 500 tons. This amount Of wool
at only 10 cents per pound, would
make the sum of Ss, $50, 900.

than five years of age, he captured six
young seals while the Florence lay at
Annanitook; and it was reported that he
had been equally successful the preceding
year. In addition to his skill as hun
ter, he was possessed OF other accomplish
ments more nearly allied to those of
civilization, such as chewing and smok,
ing tobacco and drinking rum with all
the zest OF an old tar. The young girls
equal him in these matters, having been
trained to such evil courses by the un-
godly whaleman. : The Esqui-

There's many soft little bed
Whose pillows are moistened with weeping
For the loss OF one dear little head.
There are hearts on whose innermost altar
There is nothing but ashes, to night:
There are voices whose tones sadly falter,a
And dim eyes that shrink from the light.

Sandy Hook. The young ladies were
delighted, and amused themselves by
singing lively and secular songs. Mr..
Withers stood at the helm and was sur
prised to find that managing boat was
so much easier than he supposed it would
be. The three other young men were
secretly flied with envy, but as they
knew nothing whatever about boats. they
could not venture to criticise Mr.. With
ers' seamanship. }#
The breeze freshened, and as the boat
reached the middle of tbea bay it began
to roll heavily. About the same time the
sky grew dark, and the fishing boats be-
gan to seek shelter. One of the young
men remarked that it was about time to
"put about" which sentiments were
warmly echoed by everybody except Mr..
Withers. That unfortunate man undoubt.
edly would have desired to ''put about''
only he had not the remotest idea of the
nature of the maneuve..s The young
ladies still sung songs, but it was cnticed
that they now confined themselves to the
melodies Of Messrs. Moody and Sanky,
which they sung in subdued and seri-
GUS tone. .ETo
Fresher grew the breeze, and the young
Ladies grew more and more alarmed.
Again and again was the suggestion made
that they ought to "put about" but Mr..
Withers maintained a painful silence.
Presently fishing boat drove rapidly by
them, and the skipper loudly suggested
that unless they wanted to visit some
unknow locality, vaguely described as
the property of one David Jones, they
had better put in reef and run for the
lee of the shore. Accordingly demand
was made on Mr.. Withers that he should
Immediately adopt the ffsherman's advice
To the utter CONSERVATION of the com panv,
Mr.. Withers replied that if anybody
knew anything about managing the boat
he did not care to do it any longer; that
in fact, he knew nothing about sail boats
and that he had never been in one before
Whereupon he abandoned the helm, and
leaning over the side of the boat he com.
named with Nature for several consecu
tive minutes. -..r. .a.s..
| BY dint of cutting away every rope
that seemed to hold anything, the three
young men managed to get the sail down
They then got out the oars, and afte,
one hour of hard labor, during which
Mr.. Withers lay in the bottom Of the boat
tormented by his conscience and his
stomach, they managed to reach cove
mile or so west of Sandy Hook. Tn
boat was made fast, and the entire party
set out on foot for the Shrewsbury River
leaving Mr.. Withers physical and men
tai wreck behind them. How and whe1
he reached the city no one knows, but
is certain that he has since returned t
business, and that he carefully shuns al
his old acquaintance to whom he one
used to boast of his pretended seaman
ship.
This teaches us that it is always wis
to be honest, if thereby we can avoi

Lake Kennedy. and the Esquimaux,

The following account of Lake
Kennedy, a large body of fresh water to
the West Of the Winter quarters of the
Florence, is given by Capt. Tyson: The
approximate location of the Lake is in
latitude GO north and longitude 73o
west, but has not been accurately deter.
mined, as it is not known to have been
visited by white men previous to the year
1876. The natives often speak of this
great lake, of its fish and game, includ-
ing seal, and of its great size. The land
about it is vast plain or pruirie, stone
less and -treeless, but covered in summer
with tall grass, upon which the reindeer
feed in immense numbers. The natives
visit the lake every Spring to hunt rein-
deer: of which they kill great numbers.
They all agree in their statements of the
size of the lake and of the abundance of
game and fish. In the Spring it is the resort
of thousands of birds which breed there.
Among these birds are several species of
geese, the young Of which the squaws
destroy, in vast numbers, and pile in heaps
for dog food. The soil about the lake is
dark and abounds in fossils Considered
from scientific point Of view, this Sec
ton is interesting, and it is possible that
in a peculiarly one it could be made
profitable. 1t is not probable that so in
viting an Arctic paradise will long re-
main unexplored. Mr.. Kumlien OCCASION
ally joined the Esquimaux in their visits
to this lake and in their seal huts, but
none Of the other members of the expedi
ton felt active enough to do so. The natives
are nearly always travelling, either in the
mountains deer-hunting, or over the snow
clad ice foes in search Of seals or bears
and, being Light, strong and muscular,
they have greater power Of endurance
than the heavier and less active white
men. The natives can also sleep upon
theice when tired, and when hungry can
easily satisfy their appetite upon such
provisions qlp as as the country affords. White
men, as was proved in the case cf CAPT.
Hall, can accustom themselves to the
same mode Of life; and it is for the
purpose Of effecting this that the coloni-
zation plan of exploration is proposed
The case of Nep-e7 ken, Tyson's boy, is an
instance Of the inherent skill and cour.
