THE CONTEST.

Last Monday was the elimination
of the political campaign in Oregon.
In Benton county, there were three
full tickets in the field, and the can
didates and their friends have used
all honorable means, and in some
cases, we fear, resorted to ,questiona-
BILE methods to secure the election OF
themselves or their friends. The
contest has been a severe one, the
Republican and Democratic parties
being nearly equally divided AMI
each hoping to achieve a complete
victory, have done all that politicians
could do to secure that end. In al

TAKING LANDS.
A BILL TO AID SETTLERS TO CHOKE OFF
JUMPERS AND SPEcULAToss.

WASHINGTON, March lO-The bill passed
by tho senate yesterday for the relief of
settlers is a measure of great i'm
portance to very large number of settlers
on the Pacific Coast. It was originally in
troduced by Booth, and his persistent efforts
procured its passage. both in the public land
committee and in the senate Under the
existing law the right OF pre-emption on
public land attaches from the date of settle
ment, but the ight of settler under the
the homestead law only from the date of
the entry. This bill provides that the land
shall be given to the first settler, whether
he claims it as pre-emptor or as home
steader. Senator Booth said on this point !:
There is no reason why the right of
homestead settlers should not relate back by
his alleging the date of his settlement in his
homestead affidavit, and the fact that set
tier now, before the survey, has no option,
but must claim under the pre-emption law
in order to cut under intervening settlers or
grants. Many settlers have already used
their pre-emption right, and are now, al
though in possession of valuable improve
ments, entirely at the mercy of intervening
pre-emptors, or railroad grants"
The bill next provides that the first set
tier upon an abandoned homestead entry
shall have preference right to acquire u
title to 1t after the original entry is cancell-
ed, and the last section substitutes for the
present roundabout and dilatory method of
canceling relinqueshed homesteads and tim
Der culture entries in the general land office,
the common sense provision that such re-
lin9uishments shall be effectual as soon as
they are fled in the local land Office Booth,
in explaining this section, said
''The ACCOMPLISHMENTS are nearly always
made as the result of purchase of the i'm
provements 10y some person who is looking
for a homestead, and if the cancellation were
Immediately noted, he by reason of his be-
ing party in the matter, would be able to
enter before any one else but as long as
in such cases are made as at
present, he has no advantage by reason of
such purpose. for in the interval it becomes
widely known in the neighborhood and at
the land Office that the CLAIM to that tract
has been relinquished, and all the jumpers
and spectators of both localities are imme-
diately on the alert to ascertain in advance
Of every one else the manner of the cancel
lation. This desire is no small source of
