commissioners

THE commissioner OF the
general land Office has prepared a
statement showing the number Of
9fginal homesteads entered in the
several states and territories since
the passsge of the homestead act,
May 20, 1862, to June 20, 1883.
The grand total of homesteads
taken in this time is 60S,G32,
of which 1929 were in Oregon,
The greatest number of home
steads were entered In Kansas,
while the next largest were en-
tered in Dakota, next in Mime
sofa. The smallest number was
entered in Indiana. The first
three homesteads were entered
in Illinois in 1862. In 1878
4G homesteads were entered in
the same state. The number OF
homesteads entered in Dakota
gradually and rapidly increased
from rs in 1868 to 2,201 during
the fiscal year ended June, 1883,
the largest number of homesteads
entered by any state or territory.
During the last fiscal year 1888
homesteads were entered in Ore.

THE secretary of the interior, in
a decision just rendered, holds that
pre-emption settlement Unlisted
and filed in good faith is bar to
a timber entry under the verdict
of June 8, 1878, for the disposal of
timber lands in certain states and
in Washington territory. He
holds that where a settler alleges
that he has filled his declaration
of intention to become a citizen,
and fails for the time to secure
record evidence of the fact, such
evidence when procured may be
filed at any time before a general
disposition of the land, and when
filed is conclusive as to his quail
fcations as a pre-emptor with re-
spect to citizenship.

Half Trutli.-HaIf Lie.

By chartering deep sea-going
vessels to carry rails and other
material to Tacoma, for $3.50 per
ton less than the same could be
sent to Portland, the Northern Pa
ciic practically demonstrated that
Puget Sound is The favorite and
consequently the cheapest route
Wdlla WdUa Union.
ALL newspapers have standard
of justice, and it is common to all
acknowledge error when corrected.
The Union when it made that
statement some time ago was
shown its error by THE Historian,
and since then it has maintained
silence on Z subject of which it is
obviously forgetful. The pitiful
plea of ignorance will not avail
the Union for il has been informed
as to the facts in the case. At the
time to which it refers, the n. P
r. r. Co., had some large vessels
lying at Tacoma, where they had
discharged railroad iron, and were
obliged to take such rates as they
could get. They were given no
opportunity OF naming a rate in
the Columbia.
The assumption that ships en-
tering the Columbia must go to
Portland is another crooked part
of the Unions argument; this,
too, has been answered in TIE
AsToRIAS. 1t is sufficient to say
that the captain OF the last vessel
to sail from here for L. X, said il
cost him $4,000 less in entire
charges to load AT ASTORIA
than at any other Pacific coast port
that he had ever been, and that all
his port charges would not exceed
$4,000.
1t Is not necessary to make ex-
elusive mention of Portland in ar
guments concerning Columbia
commerce. VIII the Union for
once exercise its conscience, Just
to keep it from getting rusty, and
acknowledge its injustice in sup
pressing facts and coloring state
ments to the disadvantage Of the
seaport Of Oregon?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, known as
the Magic City, has had a growth
not less remarkable than that OF
some of the famous western towns,
In 1873 it was a ragged village Of
$500 inhabitants. In that year il
was nearly depopulated by a chol-
era epidemic. An era of railroad
building set in in the state, and
the intersection of two lines there
brought Birmingham's population
up to 1000 in 1880. A census
just completed gives the city in
1888, IL, ,34S inhabitants. The as
sessed value of property has in,
creased in three years from $3,-
100000 to $S,300,0OO. The
growth of the town is due 10 the
development of the iron mines in
the vicinity.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the
18th says: The commissioner of
the general land office said to-day,
in reply to inquiries with regard
to timber land frauds discovered
in California. II have had knowl-
edge of these operations for some
time, and nave had agents out
there making an investigation.
In consequence ofreports received
from them / have suspended
action upon all timber land cases
in California, Oregon and Wash
ington territory. Persons inter
ested are not getting any patents,
and they will not get any until
L am satisfied as to the
honesty OF their entries" In
explanation of the nature of their
illegal operations Commissioners
Mcfarland SAID: "Congress, by
special act, provided for the sale to
individuals of separate tracts of
timber land in California, Oregon
and Washington Territory. In
the procurement by one person Of
a large number of such tracts
through cooperation with others,
who purchased them only TO trans
fer them to him, is a clear viola
ton of the spirit of the law"

THE n. Y. Times says: The
Presidential Insects buzzing again

Field, an Associate Justice OF the

No one would blow il for him.
For months he has been forced to
hear praises of Mcdonald, the cid

Gratis of more or less eminence, but
never has the name of Field fallen
upon his longing ear. From his
lofty and secluded station on the
Supreme bench, he has scanned
the country from ocean 10 ocean,

that nearly all the sixty-five votes
cast for him at Cincinnati came
from the south, and therefore he
tells his intelligent friend how he
longs to do something for that part
OF the country. The tone of his
letter leads one to suppose that he
regards the north and south as still
warning against each other, and in
sore need of peacemaker. 1t is
a melancholy spectacle-a Justice
ofthe Supreme Court of the United
States, who has had this high judi
cial Office for twenty years, throw
ing aside his robe and bargaining
for the favors of politicians.

A TELEGRAPH MYSTERY.
Finding of Number of Boxes Containing g
Papers Belonging to the Mutual Union.

New YORK, Jan. 21.-The World this morn
ing publishes the following: eleven large
boxes, containing books and papers belong
ing to the Mutual Union Telegraph Com
pany were discovered yesterday in an OBJ
scure auctioneer's shop in Jersey City. The
motive for storing these books and papers in
such place would be an unfathomable
mystery were it not for the fact that
Attorney-general Russell has just made ap-
plication for leave to begin an action against
the Mutual Union company 10 vacate its
charter on the ground that it had
violated its provisions by an over-issue
of stock and it is therefore
but reasonable to suppose that these books
and papers contain facts which certain direc-
tors of the Mutual Union company wish to
cancel. The boxes, however, have been in
Jersey City for three months, which shows
that there was long ago, fear of some ex-
posure. The story OF the discovery is most
interesting one. According to James NJ.
Davis, a Justice of the peace, certain detec-
tives in New Jersey have been for some time
on the outlook for large quantity of silk
which was stolen. In their search they
stumble against certain mysterious boxes
stored in the warehouse of Lewis T. Wood, in
Montgomery street. The detectives, on max
ing examination, were surprised to find
not silk, but property clearly be
longing to some telegraph company The
fact was Immediately communicated to
the officers of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Mr.. w C. Humstone, of General
Eckert's office, was then detailed to investi-
gate the matter. The Western Union COM
pany it is said has been subjected to a
number of petty thefts of late, and it was
thought that the property might be some
stolen from that company. Mr.. Humstone
went Immediately to Jersey City, and an ex-
animation of one of the boxes discovered a
large leather trunk within, containing a case
of papers filed in an orderly manner. A
slight examination of these showed that
some, if not all, belonged to the Mutual
Union company. Mr.. Brown, general super
intendent of the Mutual Union, was notified,
and, with Mr.. Humstone, went to Jersey
City, where the trunk was opened, and, it is
said, Nj. Brown identified the papers as be-
longing to the Mutual Union. Subsequently
the boxes were loaded on truck and hastily
driven to another part of the city, where
they were seized by an attorney for Jay
Gould on the theory that they contained
property of the Mutual Union Telegrap ph
Company which was being wrongfully re-
moved from the jurisdiction of the State of

The Debt of Tennessee

New York, Jan. 20.-The following was
sent Governor Bate at Nashville, Tenn, to-
day:
"Referring to the communication of the Goth
ult., addressed TO you by a committee of Ten
nessee bondhOlders-a copy of which was for
warded to the Speaker of each House of the
Legislature-we protest against the assumption
that the compromise of last May, pursuant TO
which about half the State debt has been funded
for three-fifths of its amount, and at a reduced
rate Of interest, for period of six years, can be
overthrow, and the creditors of Tennessee
forced, by an act of its Legislature, to accept
half their dues and fourth of their interest
The compromise of last May was the second
agreed upon, besides several findings of interes
and bonds in default in former years. The bill
of settlement now before the Legislature is no
compromise, but an attempt to coerce the States
creditors, and as such is repugnant to every
sentiment of justice, morality and fair dealing
1t will not effect settlement.
