WHAr HAMMOND SArD.--Mr. Hammond
arrived in Portland yesterday on his way
to Astoria. Regarding the Oregon Pa
cific road, Mr.. Hammond said: Until
the supreme court decides upon the APP
peal brought before it we are not in a
position to do anything. II the action ol
Judge Fullerton in confirming the sale
to us is upheld, the road win be put in
tirst-class physical condition, the bridges
all thoroughly repaired, and then the ex-
tension of the road will be taken und or
consideration. The extension OF that
road would develop great lumber in
terest, and would make it valuable
piece of property, IL properly handled
and needed connection made. The first
extension will be to Independence

wagon road from Prineville, and COM

claim is based largely on the decision In
the case OF Cunningham supra, In which
the court held that Cunningham coming
within the scope OF the said confirmatory
clause, his claim was confirmed as
against the Canal company and was also
las against the United States con-
firmed;' also upon the language Of
the court IN the case of Donahuc VS. Lake
Superior Ship Canal, Railway and Iron
company, passed upon the same date.
Dec. 10, 1894, In which they say ION the
record as 1t now stands, IL would seem
that the plaintiff and the defendant we're
each owner OF an undivided half OF the
land In controversy" The question was
the same Ia this case as In the other, tho
only difference being In that Donahue
settled upon lands selected by the Canal
company In the comom limits of the
gratis known as the 0. and b. and Mar
quette aud State Line grants, ami Tor
that reason alone he could only acquire,
under the contirmatory clause of said
act, an undivided moiety OF the same.
1t will DO remembered that no entries
has been allowed these homestead or
presumption claimants; hence 1t is argued
that congress would not have intended
TO confirm to them their homestead or
presumption entries; that an actual set.
clement and personal occupation of the
land ON the first day OF May, 1883, formed
the basis for the confirmation, and that
congress intended 10 confirm to those
settlers who came within the
provisions OF tho act an absolute title.
We are OF the opinion, in view of the
wording of the two decisions mentioned,
that this contention is sound and that
act was in legal eject a confirmation OF
title rather than a confirmation Of the
right TO acquire title. We therefore
recommend that said land be approved
TO said claimant. If, however, 1t should
be held that said act of congress only
confirmed right to acquire title under
the homestead or presumption law, we
recommend that claimants proof be APP
proved, and that upon payment OF the
purchase price for said land, we be al
lowed 20 issue TO Der final receipt for
said tract.
We have reached this conclusion, not
without thorough examination OF the
evidence submitted in behalf of the
claimant. Der improvements on said
land are substantial and valuable, not
withs,anding the fact that she has been
harrassed and prosecuted by the agents
OF the Canal company and its transferees.
In one instance it appears that her house
was burned by them. We do not think
the Canal company. who instructed its
agents To burn the habtations of settlers
on these lands, are in condition to find
fault because .heir improvements are
not az extensive as they might otherwise
have been. We are perfectly satisfied
that the claimant is acting in good faith
with tie government and all concerned,
The legal questions in the other cases
mentioned will be passed upon in con
formlty it'll the views herein expressed.

One Way to Rid Poultry of vermin.

I will tell you how I completely
eradicated the biggest crop of lice Of
the large kind I ever saw on d lot Of
fowls, says writer in the Poultry
Keeper. took "a pound Of smoking
tobacco and put it in fifty-pound lard
tub, poured on about two quarts of hot
water covered it up and let it stand
over night. The next day being a
warm one, filled up the tub within a
few inches of the top with warm wa
ter; then I took each fowl singly and
dipped them in the soup up to
where they part their back hair,
or, to be exact, up to their eyes, letting
them get thoroughly soaked with it,
then lifted them out and let them
drain. I served every one the same,
and l can say that l completely
cleaned out the lice and did not hurt
my fowls in the least. They all did
well after it, and at present have not
got louise of any kind whatever on
them. The pound of tobacco was suf-
ficient for sixty fowls, the number I
dipped. filed the tub up with warm
water the second time after 1 had
dipped about thirty of them.

900 acres in cotton last year. She pro-

900 acres in cotton last year. She pro-
duces nearly a third of all the cotton
grown in the United States, and al
most a fourth of the worlds entire
crop. Her acreage this year is placed
at 1889, 136 acres, . reduction OF II per
cent. Our next largest producer,
Georgia, reports reduction of Is; and
Mississippi. next in rank as cotton
producer, one Of 10 per cent. Florida's
reduction is only per cent, but her
cotton acreage is never large. Every
other state shows decrease of not less
than per cent; and also every terri
tory except Oklahoma.
Missouri's reduction is estimated to
be 20 per cent; Arkansas. IL, and
Tennessee's, 8 per cent. Missouri's
crop is reported to be backward, but
a good stand has been secured and
fields are clear of weeds and grass.
The reports on Texas, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Indian territory. Tennessee and
Mississippi are satisfactory. In all
that section the crop is late, but look
ing well, and in fact reports generally
are now favorable.
The outlook, both as to prices and
to yield from the acreage planted, is
certainly promising. Prices are now
up and are not likely to decline much
if any. A big crop from the present
acreage will not put them down very
far, while a short crop is almost GER
tain to send them skyward.-St. Louis

The Chufa.

This is most valuable food for hogs,
and fowls, too, eat it greedily. This
crop can be planted from May to July,
in rows three feet apart, dropping the
seed about a foot apart in the row.
The precaution of soaking the seed
from one to three days before plant
ing is necessary to secure good
stand, but after the soaking they
should be planted during a dry spell.
The soil should be moist when the
seed are put in. About two hundred
pounds Of any good fertilizer will be
sufficient for an acre. The plants
when the first appear above the
ground, look like coarse nut grass. Two
plowings, and the same number Of
hoeings, will generally be sufficient to
keep down any weeds and grass, and
in about two months the ground will
be covered with the rank green tops,
which are excellent food for cattle
and horses. The crop natures in about
three months, and hogs then turned
in will fatten with surprising rapidi-
ty. 1t is the plan of an old farmer, in
stead Of digging and saving his seed,
to throw two burrows of earth on the
bed before cold weather sets in. He
says he has found that this will pro-
tect them perfectly until spring. A
half bushel of seed will plant about
an acre.-Southern Cultivator.
