Land commissioner Croft has chang
ed his mind again, but this change, this
time is for the better. The filings al
ready made, under the forfeiture act are
declared good. He allows they ought
not to have been made, but seeing they
are, he will let them stand Such, filings,
however may be subject to an adverse
claim till the sixth day of April next
when all forfeited lands are open to en-
try. Those who desire to purchase the
lands and are otherwise qualified may
file a simple application to purchase,
without any payment of fees. They
have then two years in which to paw for
the lands. An act of congress extends
the time, wherein the occupant. of the
lands; at the time of the passage of the,
forfeiture bill, may enter the same, to
six months from the date of the issuance
of instructions from the department at
Washington. All persons who were oc-
cupants, of the lands at the time of the
passage of the act of forfeiture have
preference right Of entry extending till
at least the third day of July next, or
perhaps the third of August, for the in
structions on this point are not quite
clear. A batch of Instructions was is
sued to the local land offices, on the
third of January last and another batch
on the third OF February but there is
no question, that settlers have till the
third of July to make their entries.
This will give plenty of time and there
need be no unnecessary rush with claim

PoRrLANp MUST AWAKE.


Events of great interest to Eastern
Oregon are rapidly crowding upon each
others heels. The late census demon
strated in a surprising manner THAT the
cities on the Sound were rapidly out
stripping, in the race for population and
commercial supremacy, the city at the
mouth of the Willamette. The North
ern Pacific had pushed its way through
the mountain passes of Washington,
carrying with it to the tide-waters of
the Sound the immense products of a
vast territory that formerly paid tribute
to Portland While the city on the
Willamette slept, her rivals on the
Sound were thoroughly and successfully
awake, and Portland at last began to
realize that her commercial supremacy
was steadily but surely slipping through
her fingers. Then came the hope of a
line of road on the Washington side Of
the Columbia, connected with the Hunt
system, that would tap the great wheat
belt of Southeastern Washington and
Northeastern Oregon, and give promise
of successful competition with the North
ern Pacific and the Sound cities in the
carrying of the products of this vast ter
ritory to the Pacific seabord by way of
Portland. During all the weary wears
that preceded the completion of the
Northern Pacific, the monopoly
that controlled the Columbia river
pass, soothed Portland's slulnber
while it fattened on her commerce and
sucked her blood. Her richest merch-
ants and bankers were shareholders in
the monopoly and Portland was content
w1thai. But history makes itself rapidly.
The Hunt system is no more 1t is prac-
tically, and for all time, merged in the
Northern Pacific, and the hopes of a
competing road on the north bank of the
Columbia is, for the present dead and
as Cesar. But Portland is at last awake.
A half million of money, no insignificant
sum even for SO large a city, is to be
spent in deepening the channel of the
Columbia. When this is accomplished.
vessels of the deepest draught can land
at her wharves. A twentv-eight feet
channel at the mouth of the Colum bia,
as the successful result of the jetty will
make Its entrance, at all stages of the
tide, as safe rs that of any port on the
Pacific coast. But when all this is ac-
complished one thing more is needed.
The deepening of the river channel will
leave Portland largely as she is. Port
lands commercial supremacy depends
upon an open river to the sea, and the
hand of fate has at last linked her pros
perity or adversity, as great commercial
center with the fortune of the Inland En-
pire. The God of providence is God of
compensations and Portland g extremity
is DUR opportunity. Portland must have
an open river, and all the people of the
Inland Empire say, Amen. -

GAMBLING NO CRIME IN WASH
,.....s INGTON.

The Washington legislature has white
washed Judge Sachs, of Port Townsend,
and the state win have to pay 81, ,192 .97
for the material. The Judge was charged
with gambling, with playing faro, or as
it is commonly called "bucking the
tiger, with being frequenter of gam
bling houses, and with descending SO low
as to gamble with Chinaman. The
worst of it is the charges seem to have
been proved, but the legislature has
practically decided that these things do
not disqualify man from wearing the
judicial erminie and drawing fat salary
of $1,000 year from the state. The
decision argues very low moral senti-
ment. Judicial authority ought to be
associated with high moral rectitude.
No man is morally fit to pass Judgment
on crimes in which he, himself is also 9
guilty participator. No drunkard is fit
to sit in judgment on another drunkard
and the same is true of a gambler. Men
lose all respect for law, when its execu-
tion is in the hands of transgressor
Bad as gambling is in the private citizen,
and no words can paint its dernoralizing
effects, it is doubly SO in one whose Off
cial destruction demands that he should
be pattern and example to others. The
moral effect of the decision of the Wash
ington legislature is, in every way, bad.
1t is as much as saying that no amount
of moral misfeasance disqualifies man
fog any official authority or position in
that state. gf@'4 .fiiy is.1c-ii -

In 1861, for the purpose of raising funds
to prosecute the war, congress passed
an act levying direct tax upon the sew
eral states proportioned to their popula-
ton. The net amount that Oregon con-
tributed under that law was $29, 1859. .57.
Congress has just passed an act to reem-
burse the several states which paid their
apportionment, and under this law the
treasury of this state will soon be en-
riched by the amount she paid to the
general government thirty years ago.

row Escape.

About two o'clock Sunday morn.
ing the Waterman at Smith Il Sons
planning mills, franklin street, dis.
covered flames bursting out of the
rear of Mrs. Howerton's residence,
on the corner of Commerce street and
University avenue The alarm was
promptly given and the family
aroused. The fire company and citi-
zens responded, but too late to save
anything of consequence, as the
house was practically destroyed be-
fore they arrived on the scene.
Some articles of furniture were
saved in a damaged condition. Only
one room in the house, used as a par
lor, was left standing. The bed
clothing and wearing apparel of the
family were nearly total loss.
Mrs. HoWerton discovered smoke
pouring through the cracks around
the door of the antic or lumber room,
and thinking she might save some
thing from that department, opened
the door to enter, when her head was
instantly enveloped by the smother
ed flames, from which she made a
very narrow escape for her life. The
left side of her face and left hand
were badly burned, from which she
has since been great sufferer.
The fire originated in a lumber
room in the rear of the house. Rats
are supposed to have ignited a
match. No other theory has been
advanced.
Mrs. HOwerton used a gasoline
stove for cooking, and other than
this there had been no fire in the
house for week. The building was
nearly new, a two story frame resi-
dence costing about $500 or $4,000
The furniture etc., will amount to
$500. The house was insured for
1900 and the furniture for $3.50.
Mrs. H0wertOn was reported better
this morning, and suffered less from
her burns. The family have not yet
located and are scattered around
among their friends. They will prob
ably move temporarily to the Pearce
place, on Fifth street. AS soon as
Mrs. HoWerton's brother ar
rives arrangements will be made
either to rebuild on the former site
or elsewhere. This point has yet to
be decided upon.

DR.. MCCALL
He breaches Two Able 5ermohs to Well
Pleased Audiences.


Rev. T. S. P. Mccall, president of
Bethel Female College, Of Hopkins
vile, preached morning and evening
for the Baptist congregation yester-
day. Both of his sermons were
heard by good audiences. His ser.
mon in the morning was especially
appropriate to the occasion. His APP.
pointments were most acceptable to
the church. His unassuming man
ner, plain, yet forcible preaching
drew all hearts to him. AT the MORN
ing service he alluded tenderly to the
late pastor, and paid suitable tribute
to his memory. Although personally
not acquainted with DIR. Sears he had
heard and read sufficiently of him to
appreciate his great service in the
cause of Christ. The theme of his
sermon at the morning service was
Love, from a text from the 1st epistle
of John 3-2-"Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be; but we
know that when He shall appear we
shall be like Him, for we shall see
Him as He is" Proceeding on this
line, the minister appealed powerfully
to his hearers to cultivate that love
here referred to by the beloved disci-
pie, John, and drew contrast be-
tween Paul's and Johns idea of SON.
ship and heirship, which though APP
parently conflicting was in reality the
same. The central thought brought
out by the sermon was that the
Christian life must be modelled after
that character of love referred to
scores of times in Johns epistle-a
principle that grows insensibly, ex
banding day by day into greater
strength and beauty, and at last,
while it doth not appear what we
shall be, we know that when the
Savior shall appear we shall be like
Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
