SETTLERS IN WESTERN CANADA
Government Opens Immense Districts
Adjoining United States.

Ottawa. Jan. 2s.-The bill dealing
with lands for settlement in Alberta
and Saskatchewan. which is being
considered by parliament IL passed,
Will open up an immense tract Of land
for settlers. The land is well suited
for cultivation. Owing to the enor-
nous grants of agricultural lands
made by the late government for the
encouragement of railway construc-
tion in Manitoba and the northwest.
aggregating some 100000 acres in
all, the odd-numbered sections over
the best part of the prairie provinces
have been tied up until the railways
selected the particular lands they pre-
ferred. This selection has now been
completed in all but the region north
of Lake Winnipeg that was reserved
for the Hudson Bay line, SO that the
additional numbered sections are now
free for settlement.
The land, according to the pro-
visions of the bill, will be for actual
settlers, but II any homesteader wants
TO purchase unoccupied land adjoin-
ing the quarter on which they have
made their homes, the new law will
enable them to buy 1t at SO an acre.
The bill has met with no opposition
and II is expected that in the course
of very short time the lands In
Manitoba and southeastern
will be open Tor settle
ment.

THOUSANDS ARE COMING.
Cheap Rates to Oregon viii Bring
Many Homeseekers.

In circular letter sent out to Ore
gon newspapers today, Secretary Tom
Richardson, Of the Oregon Develop
ment league, says:
This state was never so we'll pre-
pared to take advantage of the colo
mist one-way rates to oregon. as at the
present time, because many thousands
of people are asking regarding farm
ing opportunities in Oregon, and are
receiving literature from many of the
organizations holding membership in
the oregon Development league, rep
resentative Of all sections of the state.
Commencing March 1, and continu-
ing daily until April 80, tickets will
be on sale for any point in Oregon,
for $25 from Kansas City and all
other Missouri river points: this also
means from st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and all the territory west, including
the most important agricultural sec
tions of the United States, and from
just where we want our home build
ers.
These tickets are good by way of
Portland all the way round to Ash
land, or to any intermediate point,
also to Astoria; and to all points east
of Umatilla the rate is $22.50.
Holders of these tickets can get
stop-over Of 10 days at any point in
Oregon on the o. R. & N. The same
privilege is given to all holders of
tickets between Portland and Ash
land, on the Southern Pacific, except
that stop-overs are to be secured by
depositing tickets in the Union depot
at Portland.
The rate from st. Louis is $50, or
s275O to points in Oregon east Of
Umatilla. In fact these rates are
available to 30,000.000 people, en-
bracing the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys and all the territory contigu-
Gus thereto.
The different commercial bodies In
this state that are sending out litera-
ture, have adopted the very sensible
plan Of giving the rate to their towns.
For instance, Pendleton makes her
advertising effective when she puts
s2250 in big type. as the rate from
all points in Kansas and Nebraska TO
Pendleton. while Ashland can make
just as effective an advertisement by
making 1t $25. briefly describing the
beauties of the trip, etc., etc.
Every citizen OF Oregon should get
busy and write to friends of this op-
portunity to come out to this country.

LAST YEARS MISSING SHIPS.
Many More Lost During 1905 Than
During 1906.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Lloyd's cas-
ualty returns to hand for 1906 show
marked improvement over those of
1905. During the past IL months "a
vessels, of 22,0S5 tons burden, were
officially posted as missing, involving
the loss of all their crews, a sacrifice
of over 400 lives.
In 1905 the total of missing vessels
was no less than SO, involving over
1000 lives of the "a boats posted as
missing last year. 20 were British
owned--five steamers and 15 sailers
ranging in size from the London
steamer Aqud Of 3045 tons, which left
Barry for Buenos Ayres, and never
arrived, down to the Fawn, a small
sealing schooner of SO tons. 1t was
reported to the British board of trade
last month that 81 British ships, or a
total of 26,291 tons, had been lost
with 2o2 lives. Seventy OF them were
sailing vessels and 81 steamers. 1t is
estimated that most of the wrecks
were by collision with submerged
derelicts, great many of which are
reported to be drifting in mid-ocean.

TO DIVIDE UNION
COUNTY d.
VISION FIGHT is ON.
People Of Union Determined to Have
County Seat and VIII Seek to Gre
ate Nesmith County With Union the
Capital-Town Of North Powder
VIII Seek Annexation to Baker I'm
Case Of County Division.

Another effort will be made by the
people Of Union to divide Union coun-
ty at the present session OF the Iegis-
lature, creating Nesmith county with
Union as the county seat.
Strong petitions bearing the sigma
lures Of at least so per cent of the
voters of the proposed new county
have been quietly prepared, and will
be sprung upon the legislature in a
few days.
However, a new complication has
arisen and North Powder will ask to
be annexed to Baker II Union county
is divided. Both Representative Dob
bin and Rothchild of Union county
oppose the division movement.
The Baker City Herald says Of the
matter:
The town of North Powder wants
to become part of Baker county, ac-
cording to ]. K. Gilkerson, who has
just returned from brief visit to the
town on Bakers onrthern line. There
Is general sentiment in North Pow
der that that town ought to be part
OF Baker county and II the citizens
can effect the change they will prob
ably do so.
The plan of Union to divide Union
county into two counties. Union and
Nesmith counties, as It is proposed
they be known, meets with some favor
In North Powder, providing the Union
people will allow the citizens of that
place to unite with Baker county.
The proposed division of Union
county is the result Of the fight for a
county seat which has been waged
for years in that county between Union
and La Grande. Having been refused
the coveted capital Union has deter
mined that she will manage to become
county seat by organizing Nesmith
county, and becoming it's capital.
The sentiment in North Powder il
In favor OF this scheme, provided it
does not interfere, but rather offers
an opportunity for the village on the
Baker border to become a part of this
county.

WAlLA WALA HAS GOOD WATER BUT IT
IS ENDANGERED THROUGH FAULTY intake

contains more than 2 parts of chlorine
per 100000 parts of water it is consid-
cred to be derived from urine.
The oxygen required to oXidize the.
organic matter present was found to
be 0.O25S parts per 100000 parts of
water This indicates the total amount
of all kinds of organic matter in the
water. Water requiring less than
OO5 parts of oxygen per 100000 parts
of water is considered very pure in this
respect.
The ammonia formed by the reduc-
ton of nitrites and nitrates present
was found to be 0.012 parts per 100000
parts of water There may be as many
as 0.O3 parts per 100000 before the wa
ter is looked upon with suspicion. The
nitrites and nitrates are oxidation pro-
ducts of the heterogeneous organic mat
ter
Summing up the results of the analy
sis we find that from the standpoint
of poisonous metals the water is pure;
from the standpoint of ammOniOuS
compounds, very pure: from the stand
point of chlorides, very pure: from the
standpoint of albuminOids, of medium
purity; from the standpoint of total
organic matter, very pure: from the
standpoint of nitrites and nitrates, OF
medium purity.
The conclusion then is that the water
from a chemical standpoint is pure for
drinking purposes. That which seems
to be most Objectionable by the aver
age person is the presence of some
sediment, which is principally sand
and therefore harmless. The presence
of sediment and such things as small
fishes should be overcome in taking the
water from the creek.
