Snap Shots at the Devil.


The publication called Rams Horn"
uses its horn on Mr., Satan as follows;
The devil feels proud Of the man who
joins the church to make money.
The devil never gets chance to loaf
about IA home where good man lives.
The man who belongs altogether to
the devil is generally the last to find it
out.
The devil has to work extra hard to
get hold of the children who have good
mothers.
Every time sermon is heard without
repentance the devil gives his fire an
other stir.
The devil probably finds good deal
of satisfaction in watching the woman
who loves to talk about her neighhors.
The man who simply wants to be egood
enough to get to Heaven is not man
that the devil wastes any powder on.
The devil is not much afraid Of the
preacher who measures service to God
BY the amount of money in it for him
sell
1t isn't likely that the devil feels much
out Of place IN the company Ola man
who doesn't patronize his home newspa-
Per.
AS soon as church members begin to
give more money for missions than they
do for cigars and tobacco, the devil be-
gins to ieei aneasy,

Cold stormy weather this week. On
the hills the snow is about ten inches
deep, while in town the ground is barely
covered. Stock Of all kinds are doing
well on the range.
Ed Copner and Morgan Ward went to
Condor Sunday and attended the revi-
val several days, returning home Tues

A number OF valuable presents have

To man who has given the subject
much thought, this modern inveighing
against mortgages and other forms Of Sc
curties Is ridiculous. Giving mort

The litigation between lawyer Goode
and Alex Berry still boils with unahated
fury. Berry moved to Marion county
about three weeks ago, taking along a
few head Of horses on which Goode
claims to hold mortgage. Last week
be had Berry arrested on charge OF lar
ceny by bailee, and Constable Carlisle
went down to Salem and brought him
back to Arlington. Berry demanded a
trial, and as Goode did not appear to
conduct the prosecution, Squire Zeigler
dismissed the case and Berry was turned
loose. Thus poor old Gillian IL sin for

the unnecessary expense.
An exchange very trutbfully remarks:
"A newspaper man has no business to
seek office. II is his business to try and
get an Office for the other fellow; TO
sound the praises Of the candidate re-
gardless of his own private feelings; to
whoop her up for his man and let this
same man forget all about him when he
is elected; 10 defend his candidate
against the unjust attacks Of the opposi-
ton, and then see that whatever fayors
his candidate has TO bestow goes TO the

OF Interest to Settlers.

An answer from w. M. Stone, Acting
Com. Of the General Land Office, in re-
ply to letter written by Jacob Bortzer
+of Shelby, says:
Department Of The Interior, Gem
eral l.. O., Washington, D. g.,
Oct. ", 1882.
Mr., JAcoB BoRTzER, shelby, Oregon.
Sir:--In reply to your letter Of Aug. ~,
1892, have to state that settlers on for
feited railroad lands lying between Wal
lula Junction and Portland, Oregon, have
an extension Of one years time to pay
for their lands, under law passed the
first session Of the SD congress. This
law applies only to the third section Of
the act Of forfeiture Of Sept. 20, 1890, and
extends the time Of payment until Sept.
70, 1893, to actual settlers who were re-
siding on or improving their lands when
the forfeiture took place. Moiety lands
reserved for the benefit Of the Cascade
Branch Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
including the alternate odd sections,
numbered /, s, 8, 10, ETC., are not sub
ject TO entries.
Very respectfully,
w. NJ. sroNE,
Acting Commissioner.
The above letter was sent TO the land
office nj The Dalles BY Clerk Lucas, and
following is their reply:
us. Land Office, The Dales, Or,
Dec. is, 1892.
JAY p. Lucas, ESQ.,, Co. Clerk, Con-
don, Oregon.
Dear sir:--I am in receipt OF your let
ter Of the l4th enclosing certified copy Of
Hon. Coni.'s letter under date Of Oct II,
1892.
This Office has held I'm every cage, !,
where the question has been raised, that
the so-called extension act applies to ac-
tual residents only. The act approved
June %, 1892, which amends the Sd Sec.
Of the act Of Sept. 20, 1890, uses these
words: $50 as to extend the time with
in which persons actually residing upon
lands forfeited by said act shall be per-
mittcd 70 purchase the same in quanti-
ties and npon the terms provided in said
section at any time within three years
from the passage Of said act"
The words Of the statute are very
plain, and we do not see how they can
be construed differently from the way
we have construed them. We shall,
however, write 10 the Hon. Commission
er, calling his attention again TO the
matter, and will advise all parties inter-
ested by publication or otherwise as
soon as reply IL received.
Respectfully,
JoHN w LEWIS, Register.

was born January "a, 1880, and
died April IA, 1892. All that is
truly good, noble and beautiful

manly child. He was intelligent
beyond one of his years; and so gen.
tie and affectionate was his dispo-
sition that he naturally twIned him.

knew him. After almost five weeks
of intense suffering, his gentle
spirit took its flight, and our Heav.

loving ones along the path of chris

home, where "God shall wipe all
tears from their eyes, and there
shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying; neither shall
there be any more pain: for the for
