GOING 70 ALASKA.
Prof. Shaw Will Collect Speci-
mems in Far North,

Prof. w. T. Shaw, formerly
of OAC but now with the Wash
ington State Col eye at Pullman,
is to spend the summer ia Alas
ka, and dispatch from that city
saws:
Professor w. I, Snaw of the
state college department of zool-
ogy has oeen employed by the
college authorities to spend two
mon hs in Alaska during the
coming vaca t1ou, CO Letting
specimens of northern birds and
mammals for the college mus
cum. Immediately after COM
mencement Professor Shaw will
proceed to Seattle, and thence to
.Sitka, Alaska, which place. he
will make his headquarters while
collecting specimens. The pro-
fessor expects to secure certain
specimens of birds from the
rocky islands which are scatter
ed along the sea coast near Sit
ka. Having completed his COL
lection of birds, he will visit the
Kadiak Islands, if time remains,
where he hopes to secure a Ka-
diak bear. These bears are re-
puted to be the largest and fer
cest of Alaska's wild animals.
A popularity of the collection
will exist in the fact that the
birds, we'll known in the tenn
perate climes by their plumage,
are entirely different in plumage
when living in their northern
habitat during the summer
mouths. For instance, the loon
has an upconspicuous slate-color.
ed plumage in the winter, but
when found in Alsska during
the warm season, its plumage is
of a metallic blush black, strik-
inglv marked with white. Most
birds who change their habitats
from north to sorth at different
seasons of the year exhibit more
or less corresponding change OF
plumage. In arranging his
specimens, Prof. Shaw will at.
tempt, by comparison, to show
this popularity. -'.'

"The simplest, plainest laws
of health are outraged every hour

Did Adam smoke? Did Eve

gum? Did the children of Israel

becca eat gum drops and ice

Adam was the first and was made
perfect from head to heel. How
long would he remain so after
eating a mince pie just before CO.
ing to bed? Suppose he had
slept in a bed room five by seven
with the windows down, the
doors shut and two dogs under
the bed? Suppose Eve had laced
herself up in corset, put on
tight shoes, sat up at all hours of
the night eating her fill Of thrash

wonder that he lived to get

HURTING RAILROAD LANDS.
Many Towns Sending Seekers
The Outlook Uncertain.

There is considerable discus
sion just now of the probability
of the railroad lands throughout
this section being put on the
market. 1t seems that prospect
i've BUYERS are plentiful and that
there are those who even con
template looking up the exact
location Of certian tracts of which
they desire tc become possessed
and to 60 all the way to San
Francisco to tender to the rail-
road company the price of the
land, which it is reported will
probably be sold at 81. SO per
acre.
While the railroad company
will not be in position for some
time to accept such money, even
if the lands are placed on sale,
it is figured by some that it such
a tender is made in advance a
prior claim to certain tracts will
thus be established, ard when
the real nuying time arrives 1.-THE
early birds will get the worms.
1t was reported that a party of
100 was to leav Eugene Satur.
day for San Francisco with the
object in view of making a prof
fer of the price of certain par
GELS of land with the idea of thus
securing a claim in advance on
fhe desired tracts, and quite
number of persons have also been
passing through this city :ecent-
ly, bound for coast points for the
purpose of selecting 16o-acre
tracts on which to make applica-
ton.
The Eugene Guard of Satur-
day throws more light on the
subject in an article which says.
There is considerable excl e.
ment here over the prospective
sale of the splendid timber lands
now held by the Southern Paci-
6c which were originally offered
to the Oregon and California
Company. Several attorneys
have been at work lately on the
legal questions involved and it
seems to be the common opinion
that these lands will be sold tor
$2. 50 per acre, and that those
who make the first offer to buy
will be the ones to whom The
land will be sold. 1t is this be-
liet that took A. c. Woodcock
and S. D. Allen, attorneys for
two different bodies of men, to
San Francisco this week with
about 300 applications which will
be filed with the Southern Paci-
6c Com pany and a tender of the
purchase price will be mad
The most common plan is for
the intending purchaser to pay
the cruisers a specified sum, US
ually 500 for location. If the
title passes to the applicant then
the one putting the applicant on
to the land will receive an addi-
tional fee when the title is re
ceived. Other agreements which
are notifications of this one are
made by different iocators.
1t IS not possible to tell how
much of this land is timber
and now much is not, but even
low estimate would make the
holdings of immense value. The
total Il nd remaining from the
original land grant and still in
possession of the Southern Pacl-
hc are little less than 500, 600
acres, with an assessed value of
$I,Io7, ,S3S.
