a Boy Again.


I Readers of the Sun will be surprised
to note the wonderful change in the ap-
pearance of John Wanamaker, a likeness
of winch appeared in yesterdays issue.
They will also be pleased and gratified
to see that since coming to the coast he
has grown younger by about forty years.
and to give sort of debonair tinge to
his boyish appearance he has reached
his hair up in front a Ia ponapadour.
We know that John is entitled to put on
few extras since he rose to a cabinet
officer from an office hoy, but we never
before supposed that his vanity would
lead him to advertise himself in the Sun
as gay Lothario, with-a cast of features
that is calculated to break girls heart
from very vexation that he is married
and beyond her reach.

UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE,
Tho nal1oa Or Nov Q ;QQ

UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE,
The Dalles, Or, May 8, 1884,
The following extract from letter GA"
March S0th, 1898, from the honorable
commissioner of the general land Office,
approved by the honorable secretary of
the interior, will be of interest to parties
seeking to make proof on timber-culture
entries:
\ 1. ''That trees, seeds, or cuttings were
IN good faith planted according to the
requirements of the timber-culture laws
las amended by the first section of the
act of March Sd, 1891, before men
toned"
2, ''That the trees, seeds, or cuttings
SO planted, and the land upon which
they were SO planted were in good faith
cultivated for at least eight years in
manner prescribed in the timber-culture
laws''
3. tThat the claimant was qualified
to make entry under said Iaws.''
4. "That he has an entry subsisting
Hereunder"
5. "That the facts of the case are
such as to show the claimants good
faith in his proceedings under the stat
|utes."
By the above it will be seen that it is
not required that there shall be any liv-
ing trees on the tract at time of making
proof The applicant is simply required
to prove planting and cultivation for eight
years. JOHN. w. LEWIS, Register.
