It will be of interest to settler? on Government land to know that there has been a change wrought in the character of final proof re quired by the land department at Washington. Most settlers will remember Mr. Sparks, the commis sioner of the general land office, whose regulations have caused many a better man than himself to incur needless expense and great privation in trying to fulfill the requirements of the homestead law, as he, (Sparks), in his wisdom saw fit to interpret it. The chang es in final proofs as now required consist mainly in reducing the number of questions and- abbrevi ating them so that while the an swers will contain the substance of the Sparks proof, they will not require nearly the time formerly consumed in submitting the testi mony required. This-reduction of time will result in saving many a settler needless expense in keep ing his witnesses and remaining himself at the land office or county seat a day longer than is necessa ry. Mr. Sparks may have imag ined that his regulations would prevent fraud in taking land for speculation or otherwise; but it does not require much reflection to convince one that a speculator can answer any questions propounded to him-by the government as glib ly in a long technical proof as he can in a briefer one. The West Shore calls attention of tiie people of Oregon to the fact that if this state is to be properly represented at the World's Colum bian Exposition it will have to legin preparations at once. To be sure, at the last moment we can gather a few Itendf al3-of grain, a few wisps of grass and a few boxes of fruit, which, with a dozen or so chunks of ore and about a score of square blocks of wood, will do their duty as representatives of the great state of Oregon; but, however sat isfied with tin's kind of an exhibit Ave may have been in the past, it is to be hoped that there is within the wide limits of the state no one who imagines that a display of that kind will be acceptable in Chicago. It will take time, money and brains to make such an exhib it as will attract the least attention in that grand collection of the pro ducts and attractions of the world, and the sooner this-fact is realized the better. An organization ought to be made at once for the purpose of managing the exhibit in con junction with the state commis sioners and of properly employing the time, securing the money and enlisting the brains. Bear in mind always that a display to attract attention must be novel, interest ing and large, containing features that appeal both to the- eye and mind. The Spokane Falls Review says: The roll-calls of congress show that there are about a hundred repre sentatives absent from the capital looking after their political fences. Unlike Hermann of Oregon,, who remained in Washington to- look after the appropriations fou his state, many of these congressmen hold seats for close districts- in which political competitors mani fest a very lively disposition and cannot afford" to- lose- su point or two. Personal interests therefore prove foremost to those ot their constituencies. With fatal tornadoes, cyclones, electric and other storms in vari ous Eastern stales, the people of Oregon calmly pursue their way, satisfied with knowing that the worst we can complain ot is plenty of rain-and an. occasional, rise in. the rivers.. WHAT THE CENSUS FINDS. The census finds forty-two state.' n the Union instead of thirty ight. It finds the national deb educed from over $2,120,000,00 o less than $1,700,000,000 and tht lational revenue larger than evei efore. In the largest cities, where foui ind five story buildings were con iidered enterprising for hotels and )ffice structures in 1880, 1890 finds iant houses thirteen and fourteen stories in height, sky-scraping af i'afrs, with elevators running to the top. It finds the new houses fitted with steam and hot water heat instead of fires a house at a sum mer temperature the winter through, with never a hint ol smoke, dust or ' ashes about it. Great natural gas fields, unknown in 1880. have given a new impe tus to industry. Telephones ena ble us to speak to our friends 200 miles away or our neighbor in the next room. The modern apartment house has revolutionized the way of liv ing of the poor people in cities. With the bath room, the electric bells, the dumb waiters, the neatly finished light rooms, the man who can only pay a small rent has more conveniences than the millionaire lad a generation ago. The new census finds electric ights where the last census found gas aivd kerosene. It finds electric and grip cable roads where 18S0 iad clumsy, old fashioned omni buses and horse cars. It jooks along 150,000 miles of glittering railway tracks, girdling and criss crossing the country, where 1880 saw only 93,349. In the last ten years steam has shortened the dis tance across the ocean by nearly a day. The new census beholds the first fruits of that gigantic co operative idea which is the distinc tive feature of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and born of this idea the development of such colossal industries as history never recorded before. It sees such mining and manufacturing enterprises in the south as nobody dreamed possible belore now. In brief, it will see a new south out and out. Another fact it will meet will be $150,000,000 cold cash from Great Britain invested in industries in the Uuit3d States, where the movement had hardly begun ten years ago. The census of 1S90 finds us a happy, prosperous people, richer than we ever were before, at peace with all mankind. May it steadily grow until the next census, and may 1900 and all our readers wit ness further proportionate pro gress. Astoria n. Two years ago, says a New York dispatch, gold bars in the assay offices of this country amounted to $90,000,000; now the amount in store is only $&2,50O,000. These figures are being used by goldite journals as an argument against the remonetization of silver. It does not seem to occur to them that silver is still a commodity, and that this alleged withdrawal of gld cannot be charged up against silver. Before the agita tion of the silver question the flight of gold to the old world was attrib uted to the balance of trade being against us, and then we howled for more protection. Some one recently made Mrs. II arrison a present of a summer cottage, and as howl of protest went up from the democratic camp against her accepting it. When Mrs. Cleveland, was in the White house, some one presented her with a cow wliicb site accepted without one word of protest being made.. Groveu Cleveland is booked for a Fourth ot July oration in Rhode Island. He will not have many listeners. Rhode Island is a small statej and His Obesity will occupy nearly all of it. There are 2700 courts in the United States engaged' in granting divorces, and one marriage in every .twenty-eight is thus annulled. West Feliciana Parish, Louisi ina, may claim the honor of the irst census return, its list having een filed the 9th inst. The return s a very significant one; It shows J,178 whites and 12,367 negroes. There are 621 whites and 4,312 legro voters in the parish, a total f 4,933 voters, but this parish vith 621 democrats and 4,312 republicans gave Cleveland in 1888 1,795 votes and Harrison 16, a total of 1,841 votes, which indicates tnat something over 3,000 negroes did not vote. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castor; a.
