for the prospect of locating a colony

Mr., Washburn is delighted with the

Will develop into veritable paradise

to be ample water to thoroughly re-
claim all the land under the canal ana
that water will be turned upon large
tract by April l, next year.

1t is possible that he will return to

An act was passed during the last
session of congress establishing bu-
reau of naturalization and immigra-
ton and to provide uniform rule for
the naturalization of aliens through
out the United States.
The bureau is under the department
of commerce and labor and the clerks
OF the several courts must procure all
the blanks required for naturalization
from that source.
The attorney general of this state
was notified by the commissioner gem
eral Yesterday through the governors
office. TO advise the courts of this
state that on and after September 81.
this wear, their naturalization jurisdic-
uon will cease unless they comply
with the terms of the act. According
10 the act only the following courts
are given jurisdiction over naturaliza-
ton:
limited States circuit and district
courts now existing or which may
hereafter be established by congress
in any state; United States district
courts in the territories. the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia and
the United States courts of records in
any state or territory now existing. or
which may hereafter be created, hav-
ing a seal, a clerk, and jurisdiction in
actions at law or>equity, or law and
equity. in which the amount in con-
troversy is unlimited"
According to this the county court
in Oregon will have no power here

aliZaticn papers are to be divided,
one-haIf kept by the clerk of the court
in which the naturalization is perfect

The work of "justifying'' for natur-
alization will not be so easy under
this law as it has been in the past.
No person who is opposed to organiz-
ed government or who teaches that
kind of doctrine can be admitted to
citizenship and all applicants who

Athena Farmers Find Much OF til'

The Athena Press says Of forty-fold
wheat grown in that vicinity:
The value of forty-fold wheat does
not appeal very forcibly to A. ]. Wag-

who are engaged in wheat raising
north of town.
While there are many instances
where this variety of wheat has been
known to yield we'll in this vicinity,
the instances are not to be found this
season. which for the past month has
been marked with excessive heat and
draught.
With these conditions, which began
when the stalk of the grain was rank
with sap. wheat ripened so rapidly
that the head shattered out badly
when struck by wind. and the straw
necessarily weak, breaks to the ground
easily. This year the above is true
with all varieties of wheat, but the

To this order Armstrong not only
made no objection, but assisted in its
fulfillment. He took off his doublet and
threw it to one of the men who ap-
preached him, then held his arms out
stretched that another might with
greater ease conduct his examination.
A third paid minute attention to the
saddle bags, and a fourth took the
saddle itself off the horse The search
brought to light some papers which
the officer scanned, gaining thereby
much information regarding the price
of cattle.
The captain gave the papers to a sub
ordinate and directed them to be tied
together. He now took from his belt
folded sheet, opened it, and read it's
contents with care, glancing now and
then at the man before him. Appar-
emily the comparison was to his salts
faction, and he restored the document
to its place with a grunt of approval.

The animal was impatient to be off,
but the young fellow on his back
curbed its eagerness with a master
hand as one born to the saddle The
captain had employed the interval in
writing brief dispatch, which he now
handed to the young horseman.
