Ii the immigration that is coming to
this coast from the frozen eastern states
had a few copies OF the COURIER to
illustrate this part OF Oregon, there
would not be SO many oi them stopping
in the northwest. The fact is that this
part OF Oregon ia not as fully advertised
as il thould be. II would pay the county
to appropriate a certain amount oil
money to the COURIER to advertise its
resources. On Tunnel 0 creek and its
tributaries there is a large amount oil
land that can be bought cheap. The
said land is well adapted TO the raising
of fine apples. II has natural drainage,
with no irosts at the time Of apple
blooming. 6. w Chaplin tells us if any
one comes to Leland looking for land,

we're $50 Indians. These consisted
mostly Of the Willamette Indians, and
the report 10 more favorable as TO educa-
ton than at the Grande Ronde Agency.
The agent in 1894 reports that there were
l69 OF them that could read and write,
and Of the whole number, 354 could
speak English. Since the allotment Of
lands 10 the Indians on the reservation,
there had been borne 50 children on the
Grande Ronde Agency, and the parents
Of these children desired land for their
babies. At the klamath Agency. the
agent reports the population in 1893, to
be $50 Indians. OF these there were 442
males and sos females. They were inn
proving very rapidly, and they had de-
creased little since his last report"

Lord Kitchener again "regrels TO re-
port" very serious disaster In South
Africa, The Beers have captured
General Methuen and four guns aiter a
hard battle. Methuen was moving to
Llchtenburg with 1900 men and four
guns. The British had moved out Of
their camp about three O'Clock in the
morning and just before daybreak we're
attacked by the Beers under Delarey.
The Beers attacked on three sides and
soon siampeded the British mules, who
forthwith ran away with the baggage
wagons, throwing the entire British
column into dire confusion. The
British lost three officers and 38 men
killed, five officers and ~ men wounded
and 200 men missing. Methuen was
wounded and taken prisoner. The
ability OF the Beers TO inaict an injury
TO the British Of so serious nature as
this comes as a surprise TO many who
believed them almost at the end Of their
resistance. Their fighting qualities are
surberb and they show fertility Of re-
source and ability in the unequal war
fare which seems almost miraculous.

To Help Mining Exhibit.

The Grants Pass Board Of Trade have
instructed their officers TO proceed with
the construction OF the Josephine
county chamber OF exhibits, and while
the building committee are ready and
anxious 10 begin at the earliest possible
moment. they find that the amount Of
cash subscribed will barely purchase
the materials used In the construction Of
the building as per plans and speciGca.
tions now on hand. This leaves one Of
two courses open to tho committee,
namely, TO change plans and build a
smaller and cheaper building, or raise
more money and labor. To cheaper
the building would be to detract from
its effectiveness as an advertising
medium and this no citizen who has
seen the plans is willing TO do. There
fore the only course left open to the
committee Is TO appeal TO every citizen
OF Grants Pass TO come to the aid Of the
committee, put their shoulders to the

Eureka Eastern Railroad.

George II. Proctor, one Of the pro-
moters Of the Eureka & Eastern railroad
was in Redding last week and told Of
the project to a representative of the
S. f. Bulletin. He said
Though the field work has been
carried on 10 quietly as to excite little
attention, every mile VI the road is
surveyed. We surveyed from Eureka,
on the coast, TO the Sacramento river,
just above Redding, On the east side
OF the river, out through Burney valley,
we adopt a full survey made by the
Union Pacific several years ago. In
brief, this is the route:
"We run from Eureka little south Of
east across Humboldt and Trinity coun-
ties. We bear six miles south of Wea
verville. 1t is impossible to pass
nearer that town, owing to the topogra
ply Of the country. OF course, a branch
will eventually run TO Weayeville. We
come straight through the Shasta divide
to Tower House through old Shasta
and straight down Middle creek near
the public road to the Sacramento river.
We cross the river at point near the
northern limits Of Redding. To go up
Pitt river at once is out Of our way, so
we run up North Cow creek to Hatchet
creek, pass back Of Carlberrys, down
Burney creek, through Burney valley.
thence following the general course Of
the Pitt river to Fall River mills,
through a corner NJ Lsssen, past Alturas,
in Modoc, and Lnkevew, in southern
Oregon, and northeastorly through Lake,
Harney and Malneur counties to Weiser,
on the Oregon and Idaho line.
From Weiser there is a narrow-gauge
line running 100 miles north, This will
ba widened to the standard gauge and
j. j. Hin will build south from the
Great Northern to connect with this.
From the Fall River mills branch line
will run to the southeast through Lassen
county to Termo, to connect with the
Northern California and Oregon to Reno,
Nevada, which becomes part OF our
system.
The road from Eureka to Redding will
be 100 miles long. Its greatest elevation
will be 1000 feet, and the heaviest grade
will be per cent. Captain DeLamar
and haye been working with Mr.,
Hartman for four months to prevail
upon him to build branch line to
Bully Hill. Tho Shasta Mineral Belt
Railway Company is surveying for
road to Bully Hill. II they build it, all
right, but We have promised Captain
DtLamar the railroad to Bully Hill
within six months.
Asked whether his company should
put on line Of steamers from Eureka
to the Orient, Proctor said We are
building railroad; doubtless the
steamer line will take care Of itself.

The republicans figure a majority OF
200 for their candidate in the Fort
Wayne district and expect to beat
Miers 65 votes in the second district.
Both these districts usually give a

publicans have no better chance to
win in those districts than democrats
have in this, the 18th district.

The United States a Roomy Country


During the last fiscal year the
United States disposed the public
land which amounted in the aggregate
to 10, 4Ss, 535 acres, or 80, 45O square
miles. This is just about equal to
the area of Indian Territory and to
that of the state of South Carolina.
1t exceeds the area of each of nine
states and the combined area Of sew
eral of them. 1t is greater than the
area of any German state, except
Prussia, is slightly greater than the
area Of Scotland, but little less than
the area of Ireland, and much in
excess of the area of Greece, Swltzer-
land. Denmark or Belgium.
But there is still plenty of land to
spare. The total vacant and subject
to entry comes to about nine million
acres, and though this includes three
hundred and sixty-eight millions in
Alaska and considerable per centage
of valuelesS territory, there is large
margin to the good.
