WHERE THEY ARE GOING.

Since it has been definitely settled
that Mr.. Yesler is preparing to com
nence work on his new four story brick
block between the Yesler- Leary build
ing and the Post building, the various
firms doing business in the wooden
buildings new occupying the ground
have been looking about for some place
to continue during the building of the
slook. For the purpose of ascertaining
what arrangements had been made, a
Posi- lNrELLIGENCER reporter called on
the different business men yesterday
and procured the following statements:
Mr.. Y. c. Miles. of the firm Of Wad-
dell d Miles, mammoth dealers in
stoves and tinware, said: I'VE have been
looking about for stand for some time,
but have found nothing 80 far 10 suit

of our store will be torn away altogether.

along until the new building il 10. We
have already secured quarters in that,
when completed"
Johnny wenzler, OF the firm of Urcle
Jimmy & CO., cigar and tobacco deal
era, was next interviewed. He said:
"You know, have a little building of
my own on Front street, and think We
will move into that"
Not being able TO find Mr.. Lowman,
the book dealer. the reporter hunted up
Mr.. Yesler. and asked him what pro
vision he Was going to make for him
Mr.. Yesler said; II intend to raise up
my hall, on Front rect, and pnt nice
store under Ii. The front will be used
by MIR. Lowman and the rear by Mr..
Meister as beer hall, with a front on
Cherry street"

the reporter to the agent, where are

PEELED to vacate your present location?''
II don't care about saying. Just at the
present time," replied the agent, but
after little urging he stated that he
would move into the basement of the
Post building, in the quarters formerly
occupied by the company.

Friends and advocates Of FORGETTING
unearned land grants TO railroad cor
porations will be cheered by the action
of the House of Representatives on
Tuesday in passing the bill forfeiting
the grant IN aid of the Oregon and Cali
fornia Railroad. The decisive vote by
which q 9 bill was passed, viz, l3i TO Y,
ia still more encouraging. showing, AZ
may fairly be presumed, that il Ia the
almost unanimous sentiment of the
House that the Recommendations Of the
Committee on Pubic Lands in favor Of
forfeiture of all lands not earned &C
cordinR to the terms of the various
grants, ought TO be carried out.
The amendment of Congressman
George, providing that lands oppo-
site to. and coterminous with, portions
Of the railroad constructed within the
time fixed by the charter of the COM
pany was defeated, and the whole grant,
embracing 3,379, 69s acres, is, by the hill,
declared forfeited and restored to the
public domain.
This bill could have been passed at nc
better time during the present session.
It serves notice upon the Republican
party, assembled in Convention at Chi
cago, and the Republican Congressman
and Ssnators-of whom there are many
in attendance there that the Demo
cratic majority intends TO make the
question Of land forfeiture an issue in
the coming campaign and thus puts the
former party on its mett.e. There Is nc
doubt that if the Republican platform
| il silent upon this subject Its Demo
cratic opponent will take strong grounds
when its Convention meets next month
and thus put itself in accord with a yer,
large portion of the industrial classes
| of the nation. In our Judgment, neither
party can afford 10 ignore the populal
demand upon this question.
The next forfeiture bill in order TO
o pnsidera,ion by the House is, il VI
mistake not, that relating to the IN
earned land grant to the Oregon Cen
trail Railroad Company. We expect Il
record its passage by still more deci
sive majority when it finally comes be
fore the House.
Z. S.-Since the above was in type
