It seems a trife early to talk of
the next football season, but it
seems OAC is to be in it again
and some considerable interest
attaches to the matter of coaches
for the various institutions of the
states. Sickle is our man and
much pride centers in the fact.
Concerning him and OAC, and
the coaches of other institutions,
the Telegram says:
Corvallis is to be congratulated
upon having secured the services
of DIR. A. c. Sickle as coach for
the OAC football eleven this COM
ing season. He is not only a
good coach but has the adyan-
tage of knowing the limitations
| of his men and can better work
against them. DR.. Sickle has
not been idle, as he has spent
much of his time at Ann ATbor

Hundreds, if not thousands,
of homestead entries are cancel
ed each year because OF the fail
ure of the entrvmen to comply
with the requirements of the
homestead law. In some instan-
ces the law is violated through ig-
norance; many times there have
been bold attempts OF obtain land
by willful violation of the law.
To protect the houest but unin-
formed settlers, and to warn the
land grabber, the General Land
Office has prepared a circular let
ter which gives full instructions
as to making honesteads and per-
fecting them, once they are mi
tiated. Itis the intention to send
a copy of this letter to every man
who hereafter files homestead
claim, so that he may, at the very
1outset, know what is expected of
him and what he must do before
be can obtain title to the land.
4 Through ignorance of the law
many bona6de eutrymen have
lost their land altogether, u have
4 been ten years instead OF FIVE in
! obtaining title. Many instances
are known where speculators have

FRAUD AND IGNORANCE.
Steps Taken by the Government
to Guard Against Both.

The following dispatches un-
der date of April 28 and 80, show
the government to be keenly alive
to evil results, both from fraud
and ignorance:
Secretary Hitchcock and other
officials of the Interior Depart
ment have determined to prevent
all forms of speculation in land
to be irrigated by the Govern
ment. AS was to have been ex-
pected, attempts nave been made
TO take up land nnder Govern
ment projects by means of SOL
diers' additional homestead rights,
by lieu land filings and other
processes contrary to the spirit
and intent of the reclamation law.
The first of these cases to be
brought up for official action was
promptly rejected by the Interior
Department, which held that land
under Government irrigation pro-
jects can only be taken up under
the homestead law and then only
when the settler agrees to pay his
proportionate share of building
the project; that is, the fixed price
per acre for his water.
The object of all these specu-
Ilators has been to corral large
quantities of land under irriga-
| ton projects with the view of sell
ing out at large advance. It is
recognized that the cost of irriga-
ton which must be paid by set
tiers on Government irrigation
land, will not begin to represent
the true value of the land when
watered. Land that will cost the
settler $Io to $50 an acre, will,
when irrigated, be worth $40 tc
1890 an acre. Mr. Hitchcock is
determined that spectators stall
not get a foothold on land that
lis being or is to be irrigated by
the Government. This land car
be controlled more easily than the
! average public land, and it will
be comparatively easy to head of
.|speculators. That is being done.

Wildwood Council Awards Ce.
ment Work to Lowest Bidder

An adjourned regular meeting of
the Wildwood Borough Council was
held last night, and the contract for
the laying of the cement sidewalks
and curbs in the park section was
awarded to Rudolph S. Blome Co., of
Chicago, the lowest bidder, by a
unanimous vote. Mayor Baker, Coun-
cilmen Bright, Cobb, Durham, Ham
ilton and Harris were present. Solici-
tor Zeller and the clerk were also pre-
sent. Several letters were read from
property who desired to do
their own work. A petition was also
read from several property owners ask
ing Council to award the work to the
lowest bidder. The fire escape ordin-
ance was finally passed and the
finance committee made a recommen-
dation of the appropriations for the
coming year. Mr.. Blome's bid under
the stone specifications, which was re-
garded by experienced cement workers
as an astonishingly low one, was as
follows: Walk, 10 2-10 cents per square
foot; Curb, 26 4-1O cents per lineal foot;
Sand filling, 81 cents per cubic yard;
Margin gravel, one dollar per cubic
yard. For the full amount of work
to be done these prices figure to a
lump sum of sd 900. After paying a
few bills council adjourned.
