THE NEW PUBLIC LAND BILL.

Many of our readers will doubtless be
glad to read this. which we take from
the HOxie Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, Mar II, 1889
DEAR HUMEs:-I enclose copy of the
Public Land Bill, BY which you will see
that the presumption, timber culture and
Communication sections of the homestead
law were not repealed.
Section one of this bill was passed by
the Senate, and in the House we attached
the other sections and one repeating the
laws referred. expecting to cut this re-
pealing clause out in conference commit
tee, which we did. presented q section
to this committee reducing all double
minimum lands to dollar and a quarter
per acre. but failed to securing its adop-
ton, but secured . compromise in the
provision of section two. This allows all
pre-emptors to change their entries into
homestead. even though they have
used their homestead rights before. This
will allow them to avoid raising the
money necessary to pay out under their
prescriptions.
Yours truly,
f ]. TURxaR.

OBERLIN.

Last week we spent pleasant day Wis
iting Oberlin, and not having been there
for two years. were much impressed with
the evident and great improvements Wis
IDLE through that period and this, not
withstanding the $4,000 fire occurring
there last year. The fine brick blocks.
water works. school house, and other
public improvements in the city betOken
live, energetic. public spirited people.
While the many large and finely stocked
merchandise stores attest a great amount
of private business. We met q large
number of the principal business men of
the city and can vouch for the kindness
and courtesy extended by one and all to
the stranger visiting within the gates of
their city. Particularly We we're impress
ed with the courtesy shown by the offic-
ers of the land department. Quite num-
Der of former Colby people are now in
Oberlin. Among those we met were &.
E. Chandler. now vice-presldent Of an
Oberlin bank; Frank Smith, DR.. C.. E.
Corporan, in the store of Art w. Allen *
Co.; J. w. Allen, now mayor of Oberlin.
and Mr.. Blake. formerly of the -four and
feed store of Clark s. Blake, in Colby.
but now connected with the firm of
Clark s Son. A call at the Eye and Opin
ion offices found both editors gone from
the city, while call at the Herald Office
found the editor absent. The managers
at all three places gave most cordial
greeting Oberlin is decidedly pro-
gressive, wide-a wake town.

Smallpox Still at St. Louis.

And now it transpires that there
is one more case of smallpox at st.
Louis. This time the Affiiction is
visited upon Rev. Vermisch, who
upon recent Sunday visited the
Lachappel family where the disease
was taking its course. When taken
down he was at Gervais, but was
Immediately removed to his home
near st, Louis where he is being
carefully nursed.
This makes five cases of this dis
ease in that vicinity, where two
deaths have alrsady occurred. There
were but two deaths in the county
out of more than II dozen cases.

-,nnthrr Addition to salem.

Messers. Stump q Vandyne have
purchased of Hon. Edward Hirseh
the thirteen acre tract of land be
tween Chemekete and State street
and Immediately east of the G. w.
GRAY residence. 1t is their purpose
to divide it into blocks and lots and
put it on the market. This is fine
body of land, in nice locality and
close enough to the business center
to make desirable homes for those
who wish to enter business or for
the benefit of Salcm's enequaled
educational advantages. The con-
sideration was $3.50 per acre, or So,
45O for the thirteen acres and is con-
sidered good bargain.
Mr.. Vandyne has recently located
in Salem, having removed here from
Independence, and shows bis faith
in the Capital City by depositing his
money among us. Having visited
the Sound country and different
portions of Oregon and Washington
Territory, he decided that Salem
offered a better field for investment
than any point he had visited. The
property these gentlemen have Just
purchased they will have survey
ed and staked off into lots at once
1t is indeed desirable and will make
a substantial addition to the rapidly
growing Salem.

Hazel Kirke.

The Boston Comedy Co., which is
filling weeks engagement at the
opera house in this city, opened to a
pleasantly filled house last night
with the old and ever popular Hazel
Kirke. This is play that is calcu'
lated to work on the sympathies of a
tender heart, and as the fathers
curse fell on the daughter there were
many eyes bedewed with tears. The
final reconciliation was acceptable.
The company gives a good perform
ance, some Of the characters being
finely sustained, notably "Dunstan
Kirke" and "Pitticus Green" They
present "East Lynne" tonight and
deserve big house. This is a most
forcible play, and one which they
are prepared to render in good style.

A great many people wonder how
Moody islpaid. The Telegram says
it is a question which few can an
swer, because the reverend gentle
man refuses absolutely to talk on
matters with representatives of the
press. "The Lord leads me, He
feeds me and He clothes me, " said
he, when questioned upon the sub
ject, "and he will give me all the
money 1 want, and at my time. "
One of the committee said to a re-
porter: owe are not going to pay
him a cent. He never takes pay
for his work. He will not permit a
collection to be taken in hisaudience.
However his expenses are paid by
us, and we intend to present him
with a purse when he leaves, prob
ably $500. But he wont use the
money for himself He has numer-
Gus charitable institutions which
he constantly feeds, besides a boys
and girls school in his native New
Hampshire village" ..
