Being of greater strength than any other baking powder, it is also the most economical in use.

It furnish ed the power for running tlm machinery at the Centennial Ex position, nt Philadelphia In 1870, Gen. U. S. Grant starting the engine there. It was purchased by Geo. M.

We are directed to accompany tho same by our joint opinion. If, In comply ing with your direction in this mat ter, wo shall bo led Into a fuller discussion of tho question or ques tions Involved than would at the llrst glarco appear to be necessary, wo trust that you will bear in mind that wo occupy a position that give us a knowledge that cannot bo ob tained readily by your olllce. We fuel that no apology Is needed on our part for endeavoring to place all matters bearing on this question beforoyou to the end that you fully understand Just what an approval of the list means. It has been urged upon this olllco that when It was decided that tho stato was entitled to indemnity nothing was left for this olllco but to accept the lists, and for the honorable commissioner Tho plstoii rods are OJ InohcH In diameter.

This has been urged by the clerk of the board of school laud commissioners for tho Mate and by the attorney for the board. With telegrams nd letters and personal visitations the state has reminded us of bees about the bunghole of a elder barrel; and so persistent has It all been that it became necessary in our Judg ment to Inform the stato that wo would have to give u portion of our time to the transaction of other business of tho olllce. other member of tho lauds are already sold at an- these 3.ao IHT steam Is sunnlled to thoeniiii i.v iiiivu aivt'i uoiien oiinusiacK or 12 acre, while by legls at vo enactment .1 L uur!!!-.vT. .Iwfc!

'i nous trict any amount of land, cither in forty acre tracts or whole sections, either on even sections In railroad limits, or any land outside. It Iras been urged by these disinterested persons (God save the mark!) that as a citizen of Oregon the register of tills olllco should assist the state in this matter! That if tho olllco would pass tho liBts lavorably, no futher trouble would be experienced, and lnferetitially we suppose the laborer, worthy of .his hire, would get his pay. We do not claim that the existence of this state of facts has a bearing on the question of contiguity which, wo take It, is the main question involved, and which your olllce must puss upon, but it certainly has a bearing, and should bo properly considered In connection with the ring's Wash ington attorneys. Wo are every day business men, In no way Inter ested, im.i.cdiatcly or remotely, in tho outcome of this matter, futher than to assist yourself In the prem ises, and thus discharge our duty ns officers of your department, and as citizens of this state. Wo have had tho "sand" to do in this matter what appeared to bo our duty, as we were capablo of understanding it, regardless of presure brought to bear upon us. Now, as to tho gist of the matter as we suppose it will appear beforo you. The state is entitled under Governor Stone's decision to Indem nity. Can she select It regardless of contiguity, regardless to tho size of tracts? If tho selections must be mado "as near as can 0e" to the lauds lost, then no; but if there is a rule of practlco of your olllco con struing tho statute to mean any where in tho district, aud in the case sucli a construction of the statute is doubtless proper. You aro now confronted by no such state of facts. Tho loss the state has sustained in tho Warm Spring reservation amounts, ap proximately to 30,000 acres, if, as the state urges, an unsurveyed loss Is as good as 0110 that is surveyed. As to the immonso amount, possi bly a quarter of a million acres, of land passed over by tho state, be fore selecting tho bargained away-iu-advauce lands, and also as to the relative amounts of vacant and en tered lands you can consult the maps of your oftlce, wlilch show Just how tho whole case stands. 1' or a section on tho mountalus of tho Warm Spring reserve they are willing to tako sixteen forty aero tracts laid upon tho spriugs and watering places of a purely pastoral country. Wo transmit two afllda vlts mado by citizens nf tills state and eiitrymcu under the United States laud laws, and wo can And any reasonable number of men throughout the district who will corroborate the statements made by atllants. Wo feel that tho disposal of tho government lauds to actual settlers, and the development of this portion of tho state, will Ikj retarded If in the matter of selections both con tiguity and tho size of tracts selected aro disregarded. It is probably not necessary for us to add that in our Joint and several opinions the selec tions as made are against tho inter est of the general government and of this state, and aro against sound publlo policy. Wo are conscious that wo have "argued tho question," and can only plead our knowledge of the "true inwardness" of the matter as Justlllcatlon. Hespectfully, I A. McDonald, Register, T. W.

HOWARD PHELPS, S SALEM LAND COMPAQ Incorporated 188 Capital Stock $30,000.- POSTOFFICE BLOCK, - - SALEM, OREGO Washington is coming Into view right in the front line and with its marvelous natural wealth and ad vantages of an enduring quality will forge to the front and lead all other states. The secret has crraduallv leaked As early as 1800 Ameiicans were fully alive to tho fact that there was a value to real estate in and around cities of this country which did not attach to that of any other nation in the world. Tlw sviitan nf flita til nnatll unfit! stood when we stop to think that In out that the Willamette valley, aud allother countries up to that time particularly the country compos real nronertv belonircd larcelv not B Plk antl . Marion counties, is to the individual but to a line of in- the most worthy or nil countries yet licritance-a perpetuity that oflered brought to the general notice, and no incentive to acquisition or trade, that till within the past two years At that time all mercantile pursuits the people living here 0o happily and and trades were looked upon as be-1 contented have been too modest to ueath the dignity ot genteel dm). ; i""""" ".,",, luu WUU"J IU UJU UUIOIUTJ MUUU. During the rush to the south and north of them, they have looked on with an half amazed wonder, never dreaming in a few short mouths tho charms of this valley would be found out and attract thousands of people servantsbut ' search of Jusr such an earthly pie, and as a vulgar adjunct of life which contributed remotely to their comfort. Hence men who dealt In real estate In a commercial way were looked upon as little better than professional gamblers. This did not apply to agents alone for they were little more than to anyone who was known to be J paradise. dabblliig in real estate Foreigneisaiid descendants of no bility living in tills country could not perceive that the will of the peo ple was the sovereign of this nation, aud that individual was an equal part of the sovereignty, thus attach ing to them a right or joiut owner ship of the nation whose proierty tuey couiu acquire aim convert, oy legitimate means into individual holdings absolutely in their con trol. L'iviui: them the right to buy and sell as they please. This value is best realized when we thitiK it was an opening for the poorer classes to acquire homes, aud with commen dable vigor they sought to secure property as quick'y as possible. The progressive had faith in his govern ment, in hiscountry antl his town. and when he had secured his home he added to his holdings and "pro 1 iiaruiy uas tins ueen realized tin it is also seen that it is the last, almost, in the United States that has not been crowded full to over flowing. There is little need for us to re mind men of capital and experience of this opportunity, for they are thinking aud acting for themselves. Dut we do think it is a good idea that the laboring men nnd farmers, the bank clerks and store keepers aud the professional men win are too busy In their practice to give much thought to financial matters the teacher and salesman, in fact, the masses should look this field over aud make good, Judicious In vestments before It is too late te reap the full benefit. We believe that this is an "oppor tunity of a life time," and that it is uniiKeiy that it will ever again oiler Salem and the Willamette valley so far in front that she will hold her own against all competitors for years to come. Property Is now within your reach, nnd if you do not take advantage of your opportunities it will not be our fault. We are free to admit that we arc Interested in your welfare in n selfish way, and that our incentive to inter est you in property is largely due to the small commii-sion which will fall to our share, but it is not all, ns you will perceive upon reflection.

Living in a country possessed of a fertile soil aud beautiful scenery, it is natural for the inhabitants who give a thought to such tilings to desire to locate upon high and sightly ground, aud where there is deep, rich, black soil. In a country like this valley, of course, there are noblufl's. Near the river are prairies like the one which lies to the east of Salem. Hence to And the highest, sightli est and healthiest ns well as the most fertile you must seek tho highest of the level ground in sight. 1 11 select ing and buying our own homes we were influenced by these qualities, and believing that we are an average in our tastes with other men, we have made our investments nnd secured other property to sell in the nnH !..
