STATE OFFICIALS.
THOSE LAND MATTERS.

Representative Hermann was today
before the commissioner of the general
land Office and urged that telegraphic
instructions be forwarded the land
offices at The DaIles, Oregon City and
La Grande to allow land filings within
the restored limits of the Northern
Pacific railroad land grant. The act of
forfeiture was approved September 29th
last and the law made six months from
this time the limit within which filings
could be received but over four months
of this time has practically expired
already, pending the preparation of in
structions by the department, which
will go forward tomorrow by mail. The
senate resolutions extending the time as
recommended by the interior depart
ment were taken up by the house this
morning, but, on motion of Judge Hol-
man, who desires to offer an amend
ment, it went over until tomorrow,
when, if not sidetrscked by pressing ap-
preparation bills, it will be considered
and passed. In the meantime the COM
missioner will at once telegraph instruc-
tions to receive filings, SO as to save the
time consumed by the mail.
If the above statement which was tele-
graphed to the Oregonian Tuesday is
true, it will not be long before filings
viii be again received. But as the land
officers here have received telegram
stating that the instructions had been
sent by mail, the same day this telegram
was sent it is probably a mistake.
There can be no doubt though but that
congress will extend the time in which
priority rights can be asserted, as it
would be manifestly unjust to publish
the notices thirty days thus leaving but
week or ten days at most in which the
occupant of lands could assert his rights.
1t could not possibly be done in that
time.

Birds Eggs.

The old, wrinkled, duslzy aunties of
southern plantations will tell children,
do not eat the bluebirds' eggs; they
make you love to wander" They believe
that the pale blue eggs of that beautiful
creature, ''that violet of the air." that
bird with ''sky tinge on his back, earth
tinge on his breast" will make the greedy
nest robber restless as long as he lives.
No place, however enticing, can hold the
being who has once tasted bluebird' s
egg.
He who eats mochng birds egg will
be compelled to ''te1 all he knows" The
one who robs h1ldee's nest and eats its
eggs will surely break an arm.
He who eats doves. egg will be fol-
lowed by bad luck, while the egg of any
bird of yellow plumage will be sure to
cause fever, and he who eats an owls
egg will be always shrieking. The eater
of a crows egg will always, as old aunt
les say, ''be gwine on foolish like crow
does go on, Hal Hal Har But a par
tridge's eggs" they declare, 'sdu des make
you thrive an grow fas'; dey is de onlies'
sort er birds eggs dat you kin eat widout
fndin' 'em dangersome. Youths Com

The United States Government has
never understood and apparently never
wanted to understand the value of AL
aska. Secretary Seward was laughed at
when he made the purchase, and that
country has been a laughing stock ever
since. The fact of the matter is that
Alaska is rich in mineral and forest pro-
ducts, and her fisheries are the best in
the world. 1t is high time she be given
territorial government and the people
representative in congress. She now
occupies in the minds of the eastern
people, the place made vacant by the
settlement of the country between the
Missouri and the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and the consequent vanishing OF
the great American desert.

THE BILL IN DANGER.

There is an evident intention on the
part of the legislature to kill the portage
railroad bill. Miller chairman of the
house committee is bitterly opposed to it
and is keeping it from getting before the
house. 1t is probable that these tactics
will be followed until late in the session,
that the bill will be reported with an
obnoxious amendment, and that it will
not have time to get through. If Mr..
Miller understood the temper of the
people up this way he would hesitate
about following this course. Any one
who opposes this bill will hear from
Eastern Oregon should he ever be up for
office, and it is going to give the party
twenty years work to recover the ground
the defeat of this bill will lose for them.
The Union Pacific is making a hard
fight against the bill, and it's fate will
show whether the legislature attaches
more weight to the demands of the
people, or the commands of the Union
Pacific

Senator Dolph seems to take the lead
in advocating the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, and proposes that the
general government expend 800, 0,000,O 900
on the scheme. We do not understand
how the senator can ask SO large a sum
for he has frequently stated that it would
be unwise to ask any larger sums than
we have been granted for fear that we
would get nothing. 1t may be, and
perhaps is good policy to construct the
Nicaragua canal, but it strikes us forcibly
that the expenditure of a small portion
of that sum in completing proposed
river and harbor improvements would
be a better use for the money. A lump
sum and contract work on the obstruc-
tions to navigation in the Columbia for
instance would be thoroughly appre-
eiated.

They Agglutinate. A

The Dalles has at last found something
that it's citizens can unite on, and that is
in demanding an open river. We sim
cerely hope their wishes may he gratified,
and having found that they can unite,
and that the other fellows are not all
crow that they will maintain this cheer
fut frame of mind, and stand together
to build up their city. The Dalles has
unequalled advantages, the finest loca-
ton for an inland city on the coast, and
with proper unity she would soon start
a period of development that would make
her what she ought to be, the best city
in the inland empire. When she is
bounded on the west by Cascade county
with Hood River populous thriving
city, which will happen in the near fu-
ture, she will look back to the days of
her quarreling and wonder what it was
all about.-Hood RiUer Glazier.

The silver pool investigation drags
along slowly and will result in general
wbitewashing of all concerned. The
testimony leaves no doubt but that
many members of congress and senators
were guilty of buying silver previous to
the passage of the silver bill. There
would be no harm in this were it not
for the fact that their votes on the ques-
ton were supposed to have been in
fuenced by their interests. Investiga-
ting committees are generally appointed
to smooth over and cover up the things
they are supposed to investigate, and
this committee will not prove an excep-
ton to the rule

Fulfllment of a Dream.

The persons who place any reliance in
the prophetic qualities of dreams, an ar
gunent in support of their theory may
be deduced from an incident that oc-
CURED some time before the escape of
two prisoners from the Riverside peni-
tentiary.
The best known man of the pair, Paddy
McGraw, has a married sister living in
the hill district. About two weeks be-
fore McGraw made the perilous descent
to liberty DER the prison walls she
dreamed one night that her brother had
made his escape much in the same way
that it actually occurred.
She told several neighbors about it the
next day, who can vouch for the ac-
curacy of these statements. While she
had the sympathy of sister for a
brother, when she awoke to the reality
she had to content herself with the
knowledge that Paddy's checkered ca
reer was at an end for the time being,
and that while they knew where he was,
they also knew he was away from the
reach of all evil.
When the news of the escape became
generally known the above circumstance
was freely recalled, and dozens of people
are now familiar with the story in the
locality MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

Bruins Poker Blun.

George Cole, of Fairhaven, Wash,
who has had charge of Port Townsend
southern party of engineers for some
time past, was in the city the other day,
and talked freely of the experiences the
"boys" had had with big game in that
wild region. One of the stories which
he relates is as follows:
During the summer we had a pet
bear-one that we caught when it was
only few weeks old, and kept until it
got to be nuisance. We had trained
it down to a fine point You have heard
of the educated hog that could readl
Well, Ruby couldn't do that exactly, but
he could play cards, and when it came
to a bluff at poker he simply couldn't be
beaten. He was sublime.
GIVE seen him when there was a pot of
fifty or more Jumps of sugar-we al
ways played for sugar when Ruby was
in it-bluf the entire gang and rake in
the stakes when it proved he had moth
ing better than a pair of twos. No, he
couldn't talk; but he'd wag his head if
he wanted to pass, and his eye stood
him in good stead when it came to any
thing else. Wonderful eye had Ruby,
and 1 don't suppose we would have
killed him if we hadn't caught him one
day, after he had won nearly all the
sugar in the outfit, scratching his ear
and pulling out an extra ace from one of
the big wrinkles in his neck. Alas, poor
Rubyl He was a thoroughbred, but too
smart for this country, and we had part
of him for dinner that day."-Forest and

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan 30, 1891.
Register and Receiver, The Dalles, Or,
SIRs: | am in receipt of registered let
ter of January II, 1891, transmitting an
application by William r. Leathers for
the repayment of the fees paid on his
pre-emption filing 6OS9, for the n. E. u
sec, 81, 7. 3. S., k. 25 E. At the time
the filing was made, in 1887 the land was
reserved under the grant to the North
elm Pacific Railroad Company, by the
legislative withdrawal which took effect
August 13, 1870, and the filing was there
fore illegal. This portion of said grant
was declared forfeited by the act Sept
ember 30, 1890, but the forfeited lands
are not subject to disposal under the pre-
emption law. The filing has accordingly
this day been cancelled. You will
transmit the duplicate receipt and re-
inquishment referred to in your letter.
The repayment will be the subject of a
further letter. Respectfully,

The fruit interests of Oregon demand
the retention of the horticultural COM
missioners. The battle with fruit pests
has but just begun in this state and the
present commission has done excellent
work in making the fruit grower under
stand the nature of the pests, showing
that our orchards are afflicted, and rec
ommending suitable treatment. 1t

1t will be seen from the above that all
persons who have located railroad lands
in good faith, either under the homestead
or timber-culture acts, and have since
complied with the law, will be allowed
to make final proof and acquire title
At the same time it will appear, that
these lands cannot, under any circum-
stances, be acquired under the pre-emp-
ton laws.
