' , '" The ibid winter of 1887-1888 made a terrible thinning in ranks of the jack rabbit army in this county, says the Harney Item, and the cold snap of last February killed many of them, but they are now About as plentiful as ever. They make a very good chicken pie in the absence of everything else. A man who occupies a responsible po sition with the Union Pacific was heard to say in Pendleton last night that if dome effort is made by Pendleton people, if some inducement is offered the com pany, it would undoubtedly result in the establishment of machine shops here. East Oregonian. The Third Regiment Military band received the money from the state for their new uniforms. - This band is im proving rapidly, and propose next sum- mer, giving an evenings open air concert once a week during the summer. It is suggested that a neat band stand be' built in the court house yard for its use, Business transactions are of ntmal note in mercantile lines. In financial mat ters, there seems to be a little more stringency noticed during the past week than formerly. The inquiry in some directions for money on loan has indi cated a slight evidence of pressure, though, with few exceptions, the de mand has been met without much diffi culty. The increased stringency experi enced in the east in the past season, is being felt on this coast, more or less, and in a measure has had a tendency to caution our brokers and put a check on promiscuous loans, even ou fair to good collaterals. The receipts of all kinds of produce has been very light for the past week. Shipments west have teen rather small. Some 250 tons of wheat has been shipped by rail." There is a large amount on storage still in first hands, with very small offerings to buyers, holders wait ing for better prices which they hope to get in the near future. It is question able whether their anticipation will be realized. The limited tonnage on hu mediate arrival and in port, has a strong tendency to hold prices at quotations European markets are lower and coiiHe quently are less active and futures are easier. Real, Estate. There has been i perceptible change in the real estate market since last report. A number of transfers are reported from in and about Hood River, and about the usual num ber in The Dalles and vicinity. Prices remain firm and dealers hope to . see more activity as spring comes on. Chicago markets, as well as New York, closed lower for May delivery. Xl for the former and 103. for the latter.

The "guard mount" and hop of A and C companies of the 3d regiment at the Armory last night was a brilliant affair. By the time the assembly sounded, 8 : 30, the big Armory was filled except the space reserved for the "sojer boys Four hundred and fifty chairs had leen provided but they would not seat half the crowd. At 8:45 "guard mount commenced, the boys going through the drill in an excellent manner, and show ing an increased prohciency m drill. The new 3d Regfment band furnished the music, and although it has been practicing but a few months did exceed ingly well. After "guard mount" Professor Birg feld's band came in, and about seventy couples took part in the grand march. In one quadrille forty -two seta were on the floor, and yet the crowd around the Armory did not seem to be diminished. Dancing was kept up until after 1 o'clock this mcrning. It was certainly the larg est crowd that ever attended a social gathering in this city, and A and C Company can justly feel proud of the interest taken in them. It was the best Guard Mount we ever saw outside of the army, showing that both officers and men are taking a deep interest in their work, and indicating that the 3d intends to make the other regiments of the state "get in and drill" if they expect to rank according to their numbers. The tax levy of this county for 1890 is , eleven and one-half mills, which added. . to the state levy of four and twelve thirty-fifths mills, and the school tax of five mills makes the entire levy for state ana county purposes twenty and sixty nine seventieths mills. Ochoco Review. It looks- very much as though the - tramps who stole the outfit from the box car Sunday night and hid it under Saltmarehe's platform had intended to et fire to some building in that portion (A the town that they might get a chance to plunder houses left unguarded. . H.vness-stealing seems to be a favorite avocation with petty thieves in Pendle ton at present. Several citizens have lately had harness and other articles stolen from their bams. Saturday night the stable of Levy Hays, who lives on 'ob hill, vm ' entered, and a set of double harness taken. So far there is no doe to the robber, who will probably soon open a harness store iu some other XVKJLrEMJi Oregonian, The persons who defined the boun daries of the proposed new -comity of Cascade made quite a serious mistake but fortunately their error was discov ered in time before the bill was intro duced. They supposed they were follow- ng the dividing ridge between the head aters of Mill creek and Hood nver, but they came over this side far enough to . include' several ranches on Mill creek, . and some out in the head waters of the 'Tygh. The eastern boundary will be -changed to correct this and follow as nearly as possible the summit of the ridge so that no one whose natural outlet ia The Dalles will be included in the ..new county. , Board of Trade Meeting, Board met at their rooms last night, A. S. Macallister, president, and B. S. Huntington secretary, both being present and the attendance being fair. ' A committee consisting of A. S.Mac-, allister, , Robert Mays and G. T. Farley were appointed to' go to Salem and urge the passage of Senator Watkins' portage bill, and to look after such other matters as are of interest to Wasco county. Hon. C. M. Cartwright and A. J. Dufur, sr., who will be at Salem, will assist them. On motion it was ordered that copies of the stock-books be made and given to the farmers for the purpose of securing stoclo-for the proposed steamboat line. On' motion it was ordered that the secretary inform our members of the legislature, that it was the unanimous sense of the board that the . present board of railroad commissioners should be abolished and the Minto bill should become a law.. The secretary was further instructed to request the members of congress from Oregon, Washington and Idaho to nee every effort to pass the Dolph bill appro' priating money for the completion of the Cascade locks, through the house. It was recommended that as the board of trade was maintained in the interest of the entire country around The Dalles that all our business men should join it Messrs. Printz & Nitschke are having the old platform and rubbish eleaned off the lot adjoining the store occupied by Snipes & Kinersly for the purpose of building for themselves a store for their furniture business in the coming season. Monday evening Mr. Watson who had been up the road on a hand car, on his way home discovered that some wretch had bolted two fish plates together and placed them on the track near the wil lows above town. There was an evident intent to wreck a train, and the attempt was foiled more by good luck than any thing else. Hanging is not severe pun ishment enough for this offence but un fortunately it is the limit beyond which we cannot go. The attempt to wreck a train should be made a capital offence. The regulations governing the locating of the forfeited railroad lands are ex pected at any time they having been perfected. The ; CHRoirici. . will give notice immediately on their arrival, to its readers. , The Tygh Monntaln Koad. Surveyor E. T. Sharp has retnrned from the Tvgh Ridge country, and in forms us he has made a preliminary sur vey of the proposed Tygh hill road, which the state is asked to aid in building and finds that it can be built over the moun tain, affording a comparatively easy grade not exceeding eighteen inches to the rod. He has made a lengthy report on the road, and sets forth the advantages to be derived by the large section of country, already occupied by settlers in Tygh Valley and. Oak Grove in giving them an outlet for their produce which they are now unable to avail themselves of. The state funds cannot be used in a more beneficial manner than in remov ing obstacles and opening up important highways. Let the legislature pass the appropriation asked. y Grapes to the Front. Mr. Chas. Pringle the well known New York expert in grape culture accompanied by Geo. F. Jones of the Portland real estate firm of Jones & Stephens paid a visit to The Dalles yes terday. Under escort of Mr. W, S. Cram, these gentlemen made a careful and painstaking investigation ot our agricultural resources, more particularly as to the quality of the soil for grape raising purposes. The result is that our slopes are pronounced by Mr. Prin gle as adapted to this industry, The visitors represent a syndicate con trolling several thousand acres of land which will be devoted to vineyard pur poses. Mr. Pringle has 75,000 choice. eastern roots now under shipment to this coast and a considerable acreage will be stocked this spring. Geo. Bancroft, the eminent Historian, died in Washington dtjr D. C; on the 17 inst. after a brief illness. He was born in 1800. : j -- Mr. E. i the city. S. dinger, of Hood River, is in City Council Meeting. The city council met last night to meet the committee on new charter which it was found was not yet ready to report. The report of the committee ' appointed to provide means by which to return the money used by Dalles City belonging to the water fund, reported that this was impossible to be done in time to make the funds available for present improv- ments. The same committee reported on the matter of letting the contract for laying pipes from the reservoir up Mill creek that the same be postponed tem porarily, until the new charter was per fected. Council adjourned to meet Wednesday night. ' Has Returned to Stay. Mr. E. K. Russell, who has located sonth of TheDalles about twenty miles, came back from California where he has resided for ten years and "pitched tent" in Wasco to make it his future home. Mr. Russell bas gone to work in earnest has built a good dwelling house, barn and other outbuildings, plowed and sown fiftv acres in wheat, fenced nearly his entire farm, dug 1000 holes two feet deep and four feet wide, for planting out fruit trees, he has displayed a great deal of energy since his arrival, which was a few month ago. Mr. Russel thinks Ore gon offers better advantages to the set tier than any place he has seen, hence his return to it. A False Iteport. The board of trade has not indorsed the division of the county or the creation of the new county of Cascade. It has taken no action whatever concerning said county considering it hardly a matter for the board to act on. Individual mem bers of the board very likely hold con flicting opinions concerning county divisions in general and this one in par ticular, but the board haH not taken action in any shape.

They were shown by Mr. Norton, and are certainly of excellent quality. Captain George Thompson tried some of this coal in his forge and is highly pleased with it, claiming it js nearly as good as Cumberland. An article elsewhere in this issue is good reading on this subject. A copy of the instructions which will be issued to the registers and receivers of the land office has been received by Thornbury & Hudson from their corresr pondent in Washington. It is therefore probable that the instructions will be in the land offices before many daya, to gether with a list of lands subject to en- try under the forfeiture act. It is proba ble the maps and descriptions of land are what cause the seemingly nnecessary delav. i Department op the Interior, ) General Land Office, V Washington, D. C, Jan. 3, 1891.) Registers and Receiver of United States Land Ojfices: Sirs: Your attention is called to the provisions of an act of congress entitled : "An act to forfeit certain lands hereto fore granted for the purpose of aiding in the construction of railroads, and for other purposes," approved September 29, 1890, a copy of which is hereto at tached, containing eight sections. The first section provides for the for feiture of all lands heretofore granted to any state or to any corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad opposite to and cotenninus with the portion of any such railroad not now constructed and in operation, and declares the lands for feited to be a part of the public domain, excepting, however, from the forfeiture the right of way and station grounds heretofore granted. The second section provides that all persons who, at the date of the passage of this act, are actual settlers in good faith on any of the lands forfeited, and are otherwise qualified, on making due claim on said lands under the homestead law within six months after the passage of this act, shall be entitled to a prefer ence right to enter the same under the provisions of the homestead law and this '.'jet, and shall be regarded as actual settlers from the date of actual settle ment or occupation. It is clear that this clause of the section allows the actual settler, if qualified, to make a homestead entry of the tract upon' which he had made settlement, and this as a preference right to be exercised within six months after the passage of the act. It is further provided by . said section that any person who has not heretofore had the" benefit of the homestead or pre emption law, or who has Jailed from any cause to prefect the title to a tract of land heretofore entered by him under either of said laws, may make a second homestead entry under the provisions of this act. The lapguage of this clause of the sec tion authorizing "a second homestead entry" refers only to those persons who have" heretofore made a homestead entry, but failed from any cause to prefect the same. In other words, the object of this clause is to allow any one qualified, who had not theretofore secured a piece ot land under the homestead law, to ob tain a tract of these forfeited lands under that law. and at the same tune to take these lands out of the operation of the pre-emption laws. No nre-emntion entry will, therefore. be permitted for these lands, and appli cants under the homestead laws will be required to make oath that they have not heretofore secured a piece of land under the homestead law, and if an entry has been made under said law that was not for any reason perfected, the facts in relation" thereto should be fully set forth. The third section provides: That in all cases were persons, being citizens of the United States, or who have declared their intentions to become such, in ac cordance with the naturalization laws of the United States, are in possession of any of the lands affected by any such grant, and hereby resumed by and re stored to the United States, under deed, written contract with, or license, from, the state or corporation to which such grant was made, or its assignees, exe cuted prior to January first, eighteen hundred and eighty-eight, or where persons may have settled said lands with bona fide intent to secure title thereto, by purchase from the state or corpora tion, when earned by the compliance with the conditions or requirements of the granting acts of congress, they shall be entitled to purchase the same from the United States in quantities not exceeding three hundred and twenty acres to any one such person, at the rate of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, at any time within two years from the passage oi this act, and on making said payment to receive patents therefor ; and where any such person in actual possession of any such lands, and having J i.i.n : l . ,-. j liupruvcu tile euuic, p w u i nj mo xiidl uav of January, eighteen hundred and ninety, under deed, written contract or license as aforesaid, or his assignor, has made partial or full payments to said railroad company prior to said date, on account of the purchase price of said lands from it, on proof of the amount of such- payments he shall be entitled to have the same, to the extent and amount of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, if so much has been paid, and not more, credited to him on account of and as part of the purchase price herein pro vided to be paid the United States for said lands, or such persons may elect to abandon their purchases and make claim on said lands under the homestead law, and as provided in the preceding section of this act. Where parties, persons and corpor ations, with the permission of such states or corporations, or their assigns, are in possession of and have made im provements upon any of the lands re sumed and restored, and are not entitled to enter the same under the provisions of this act, such parties, persons, or corporations, shall have six months in which to remove any growing crops, buildings and other movable improve ments from said lands. It is provided that the right of pur chase granted by tliis section shall not apply to any lands situated in the state of Iowa, on which any person in good faith has made, or asserted the right to make, a pre-emption or homestead settle ment. All the roads situated within said state have been constructed, except the portion of the Sioux Citv and St. Paul railroad between Le Mars and Sioux City. The grant for this company was made the subject of departmental decision of July 26, 1887 (6 L. D., 47,) and a portion of the lands south of Le Mars was by said decision directed to be restored, but, as far as the same are opposite nn- constructed road, they will come under the provisions of this act. An applicant for purchase, under this section, of lands in Iowa, will, therefore, be required to show that no person has in good faith asserted the right to make a pre-embtion or homestead settlement upon the land sought to oe purchased. -. Further provision is made that noth iner in this act shall be construed as limiting the rights granted to purchas ers or settlers by the act of March 3, 1887, providing for the adjustment of land grants made by Congress to aid in the construction of railroads, nor as in any manner affecting any cause of action existing in favor of any purchaser against his grantor for breach of any covenants of title. The fourth section merely repeals cer tain sections in acts making grants to aid in the construction of certain rail roads, in so far as said sections require the Secretary of the Interior to reserve lands within the indemnity limits of such grants. This section does not re store the indemnity lands, but removes any obstacle to the restoration by the Department, and steps will be taken at once to secure a speedy restoration of any such lands now withdrawn and not included in pending selections.- The fifth section provides : That if it shall toe found that any lands heretofore granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and so resumed by the United States and restored to the public domain, lie north of the line known as the "Harri son line," being a line dra.wn froin j - Wal lula, VKSBIngton, easterly to the southeast corner of the . northeast one fourth of the southeast quarter of section twenty-seven, in township seven north, of range thirty-seven east, of the Will amette Meridian, all persons who had acquired in good faith the title of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to any portion of said lands prior o July first, eighteen hundred and eighty -five, or who at said date were in possession of any portion of said lands or had ini- S roved the same, claiming the same un er written contract with said company, executed in good faith, or their heirs or assigns, as the case may be, shall be en titled to purchase the lands so acquired, possessed, or improved, from the United States, at any time prior to the expira tion of one year after it shall be finally determined" that such lands are restored to the public domain by the provisions of this act, at the rate of two dollars and fifty cents per acre, and to receive patents therefor upon proof before the proper land office of the fact of such acquisition, possession, or improvement, and pay ment therefor, without limitation as to quantity. Having determined that the terminal originally established upon the North ern Pacific railroad as constructed to Wallula, Washington, properly seper ates the lands earned bv the construc tion of the road to that point, from those forfeited bv the first section of this act, this section will have immedi ate application upon the promulgation of these instructions. This section also confirms to the citv of Portland, in the state of Oregon, the right of way and riparian rights hereto fore attempted to be conveyed to the citv of Portland by the Northern Pacific railroad campany, to a strip of land fifty feet in width, through certain described sections. The swth section provides that no lands forfeited bv this act shad inure to the benefit of any State or corporation to which lands may have been granted by Congress, except as provided bv this act, nor shall the act be construed to en large the area of land originally covered by any such grant, or to confer any right upon any htate, coporation, or per sons, to lands which were excepted from such grant. Provision is also made against the moiety in conflicting limits of grants for a main and branch Bne, appertaining to nnconstructed road and forfeited hy this act, inuring to the benefit of the com pleted line. , Section seven relates specially to the grant to the state of Mississippi, to aid m the construction of the road known as the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, and upon the condition that said com pany, within ninety days from the pas sage" of this act, sliall . accept the provisions of this act and file with the Secretary of the Interior a valid relinquishment ot all said company's interest, right, title and claim in and to all such lands as have been sold bv the officers of the United States for cash, or with the allowance or approval of such officers have been entered in good faith under the pre-emption or homestead Jaws, or upon which they were bona nda pre-emption or homestead claims on the first dav of January, eighteen hundred and ninety, arising or asserted bv actual occupation of the land under color of the laws of the United Mates, then the for feiture declared in the first section shall not, until one year after the passage of this act, apply to or in anywise affect so much and sucli parts of said grant as lie south of a line drawn east and west through the point where the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad may cross the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad in said state. Other lands, in lieu of those relin quished south of said point, may be se lected within the indemnity limits of the original grant, nearest to and opposite such part of the line as may be con structed at the date of selection. Special instructions under this section will be given to the proper officers when the point of crossing provided for shall have been determined and those lands upon which the act has immediate appli cation are formally restored. section exaht makes a special provision in relation to the giant for the Mobile and Girard Railroad Company of Ala bama, and as the questions involved are peculiar and will require some considera tion, instructions thereunder will not be issued at present.
