Would Amend the Homestead Law Representative Flawley has introduced a bill amending the three year homestead law so that settlers who were residing upon unsurveyed public lands at the time the three years' bill became a law may, when their land is surveyed, have the option of perfecting title under the new law or under the old five-years' law bill, further amending tne three years' law, by reducing the amount of cultivation required. This latter amendment is drawn in the interest of homesteaders on land in a timbered country. Railroad Rumors. question, but one or the other will be used, is local opinion.

The Oregon Eastern began construction operations at Vale in May, 1912, when the local construction and material yards were laid, and which are now stocked with thousauds of tons of steel rai's, fir ties, bridge timber, structure steel, and other construction materials.
