Ofllcinls of the United States land of fices have recently been notified by tho Commissioner of tho General Land. Offica.as.l'p.llows.; . . . 1. Your attention is directed to tho net of Congress approved August 22, 1914 (Public, No. 183), which pro vides: That tho entryman mentioned in section 2291, Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended by theact of Juno 0, 1912 (37 Sa., 121!), upon filing in the local land office, notice of tho beginning of such absence at his option shall bo entitled to a leave of absence in one or two continuous periods not exceeding in tho aggro gato five months in each year aftor establishing rcsidonco; and upon the termination of such absenccuin each period, tho entryman. shall file notice of such termination in the local land olTleo; but in case of commutation the 11 months' actual residence, as now required by law, must bo shown and tiie person commuting bo nt tho time n citizen of tho United States. ?. Under this net tho five months' nbson o in oach residence year allowed by the first proviso to section 2291 may, at the option of the homesteader, bo divided into two poriods, but no more. The homesteader must at tho beginning of each absence, file a no tico thereof at tho local land office. but ho need not specify tho portion of tho fivo months' privilege of which he intends to avail himself. A notice of his return to the land must bo promptly filed at tho tormlnation of oach absence. i. If u homestendor has returned to the laud after an nhioiico of loss than five mouths and filed notice of his return, ho may, without any in-Un-voning rcsidonco, again iibiout him self pursuant to now notico -for the remaining period within tho rosldsnco year Two ulwonros In dinoiont ronl dciui' raiH, however reeknnod from tho dale when rldneo wiu oatnh-lUlu-d must bo sopiirfllml by n Mil ktiinlml poriiNl if ihoy tojfolkor tmiko tip more Hum five luaitlb.

If 1 1 PJf J&wtUN Id fitful HI iB M WILL 1TE CITYBONDS AN ELECTION WILL PROBABLY BE CALLED TO VOTE ON THE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVE MENT UONOS SOON. There has been considerable com ment of late on tho bonding picpos itiou and a great" .many havo asked why tho city docs not p;et to work and improve the water system. Tho fact is thnt tho city has nol yet taken over the water system, as the bonding company has not come through with tho money and until such time ns tho money is nvnilablc the .system cannot bo taken over. It is tho intention of tho city coun cil as soon as tho water 'bonds are disposed of, to hold another election to vote improvement bonds fr the wa ter system and to take up the city in debtedness. This will give the banks a chance to handle tho city paper more satisfactorily, and at the samo time the expense to the city will be loss as nil these outstanding war rants arc bearing G per cent interest and the bonds -enn probably bo sold for 5 per cent. The proposition was voted upon once before but it was voted down, many thinking that it was only a proposition to incur more indebted ness when in reality it would havo been a -saving to the city. Howovor, tho. proposition is now better under stood by tho people and at another election it will undoubtedly carry. As to tho water improvement bonds, these will nlso carry by a big major ity as it is generally understood that a now source of supply is needed as well as to improve and onlnrge the system in tho city. DR. 11. E. HERMAN WILL LOCATE AT THIS PLACE Dr. Hnrry E. Hermann is in the city and will locate here permanently Dr. Hermann is an eyesight special ist and is well known in Baudon as he has been coming hero for several years, staying fqr a few days, prac ticing his profession. He was form erly located at Roscburg, but has been making Myrtle Point his headquarters for the past couplo of years. Ho in now so thoroughly taken up with Baudon that he will make this city his headquarters from this time on. Dr. Hermann's family is now out in tho Willamette Valley but they will be hero in about a month. COL. AND MRS ROSA RETURN FROM CANADA Col. and Mrs. Rosa returned yes- ! terday from thier trip to Manitoba, tCanadn, and other points and report n vory plonsant trip. Tlioy visited the Calgary country and wont down to Minneapolis, Minn., where they at tended tho Minnesota State Fair, thoro being 81,000 people on tho grounds the day limy were thoro.

Haberly.) Non.Partizan Judiciary Nominations. Answer Yes. There is no reason why a judge should bo elected as a partizan unless it be that ho may decide cases, when elected, with a bias in favor of his own partizans. This is just what wo should not have. A judge should be absolutely unbiased so far as human nature will permit this. But with our present system our judges do some times show their partizanship in their decisions. The bill as drawn is not perfect, but is a stop in the right di rection. $1500 Tax Exemptions on Improve ments. Answer 320 Yes. This is another bill that is improp erly gotten up, and the amount is too great. $1,000 exemption on dwell ing and furniture and farm improve ments would havo boon better. But the bill is a stop in 'tho right direc tion in that it cases the burden of the poor man who is trying to secure a modest homo. Wo need to encour age home building and homo owning. But now the progressive man is fined for making improvements. A widow at Prosper paid $19.00 taxes on a small cottage and a few acres of stumps this year twice the taxes paid in tho east on a well improved farm of CO acres. Cut out every source of taxes that can possibly be done. Then cut out tax eating com missions and useless olllccrs. We should only tax franchises and public utilities. Public Docks and Water Frontage Amendment. Answer Yes. This bill, ns the next, is very im portant to tho people of Baudon. Tho state owns tho beds of navigable wa ters, and should not noil them but should lease them. In Bandon wo pay dockage to got goods over our own "property, because private owners have been permitted to build wharves up on this public property and now they derivo the benefit while the public the rightful owners pay wharfage pr dockage. Portland paid a million Vlollnrs to buy back property which was hers by right, so that she might build public docks and wharves. Those who have invested mi.iey in wharves or docks on tho propc ty involved are fully protected or compensated by these two bills. Thor r? there is no injustice done them. Lot the public keep whnt belongs to it for tho public benefit. Prohibition Amendment Answer Yes. Salem Tho 1m Grande $80,000 Elk's lodgo will bo erected by tho Palmer-Ellison Co. of Portland.

Bccauo it deprives women and child ren of the father's wages; dodges its own taxes and forces them on to those who derive no benefit from tho saloon; decrenses tho value of property; intro duces disorder, crime and lechery in tho family; ensnares our sons; dc bauches our daughters; decreases and stagnates legitimate business; creates financial panics; reduces bank depos its; prevents drinkers from owning homes of their own; decreases the number of wage-earners; also do creases their earnings; creates cheap labor; causes many to lose their jobs ("the last man hired, tho first man fired the man who drinks"); hinders and closes factories; drives capital away; destroys efficiency of workmen; multiplies accidents; injures tho in tellect; burdens the incapable; causes poverty; adds to our juvenile delin quents; doubles taxes; causes insan ity; fills jails and penitentiaries; bru talizes jman; transforms its votaries into hypocrites; is tho clearing house for dive-keepers; inflames the baser passions; is the tap root of tho so cial evil; shortens life; promotes dis ease; menaces the church and takes children out of school. If thoro be anything base or degrading, low and disgusting, the saloon and the drink evil are at tho bottom of it, and ns prohibition stands for the reverse, for everything thnt is good and pure and generous and just and clean and right, Tarn in favor of this amend ment. Let me close this installment with a few brief quotations of well known men: "Tho liquor traffic is tho most degrading and ruinous of nil human pursuits." William McKinloy. "It produces criminality in the popu lation nt large, and laV breaking among the saloon keepers themselves" Roosevelt. "It is a cancer in so ciety, eating out tho vitals and threat ening destruction; it must be destroy ed" Lincoln. "Tho saloon is tho first place tho policeman looks for crime nnd tho last place ho looks for virtue." W. J. Bryan. "There is enough barley destroyed by tho .brew ers in Germany to feed nil Europe. I pray God that ho may destroy tho whole beer brewing business." Mar tin Luther. "It has brought more desolntion to tho wage-earner than strike, or war or sickness or death; it lias broken up more homos and wreck ed moro lives than any other cause on the face of earth." Cardinal Gib bons. "It is bad for the homo, for humanity, for the church, for the country." Arch Bishop Keene.

LYONS JOHNSON1 MILL CLOSED DOWN SATURDAY Tho Lyons-Johnson mill closed down Snturdny temporarily, but will resume operations again as soon as the lumber market takes a little bet tor turn. Capt. Robert Dollar, trustee for the company, says tho price of lumber cannot remain where it is very lorigr as there are bumper crops all over tho United States and there is bound to be a gcnernl increase in business over the country and in that, case there will surely be a vigorous mar ket for lumber. HALF DAY SYSTEM IN PRIMARY DEPARTMENT The Bandon School Board, at a meeting hold yesterday afternoon de cided upon a half day system for tho pupils in tho primary grades. That is, part of tho pupils will come in the forenoon and part in the afternoon. This was mndo necessary owing to tho crowded condition of the rooms, as it was thought better to do this than to hire another teacher at pres ent. At any rate there is only ono available room in tho schools and this is tho teachers rest room, nnd upon in spection it was found that at present tho room was not in a sanitary con dition for holding school, until some shanges were made in the ventilation which would cost considerable and the hiring of another teacher would mean and added expense of $05.00 a month whoreas the present primary teach ers will do tho extra work for a con siderable less sum, and taking every thing into consideration tho board de cided that it would bo best to try tho half day plan during tho first semes tor at least.
