ten o'clock Is the morning hour, while

A strange story is told of the discovery in
British Columbia, 500 miles north OF the
Little Dalles, of a deserted town. There
were twenty-six stores. some Of them con-
tanning goods, two saloons, one Of which
contained two billiard tables, and post
office containing letters dated 1855; but
there was no human being in the neighbor-
hood. Old miners say that the story has
foundation. though probably exaggerated.
About 1855 gold diggings were discovered
in that locality, and q considerable camp
sprang up, only to be abandoned when the
placers played out and q new Eldorado Was

A recent order Of Land Commissioner
Sparks forbids homestead and pre-
enlption settlers from cutting timber
on their claims for commercial pu--
poses The order is carollary Of the
recent orders by Assistant Secretary
jerks in regard to cutting timber on
public lands. The general land office
holds that until patents are issued by
the president to homestead and pre-
emption settlers they are simply
tenants and must observe the proper
limitations upon the Use they make Of
the land. The commissioner claims
that in the past large frauds have been
perpetrated upon the government by
sO-called pre-emptiOn and homestead
settlers ON valuable timber districts,
where men have made entries, cut OH
the pine or other timber and then
abandoned their claims. 1t is to put a
stop to this that the order has been
prepared. Secretary Lamar has ap-
proved it and the special agents Of the
Office will be instructed at once to keep
sharp lookout for violations it. The
bona fide settler is expressly permitted
to cut all necessary fuel and to clea'
land he may want for agricultural pur
poses; beyond this the order is pro
hibitOry.
