Samples of fine shoes made by the
Boston Shoe and Leather Co. at North
Dalles are on exhibition in the Chbokiclb

ble attention.
Representative Hermann was today
before the commissioner of the general
land office and urged that telegraphic
instructions be forwarded the land
offices at The Dalles, 'Oregon City and
La Grande to allow land tilings within
I the restored limits of the Northern
Pacific railroad land grant. The act of
forfeiture was approved September 29th
last and the law made six months from
this time the limit within which filings
could be received, but over four months
of this time has practically expired
already, pending the preparation of in
structions by the department, which
will go forward tomorrow by mail. The
senate resolutions extending the time as
recommended by the interior depart
ment were taken up by the house this
morning, but, on motion of Judge Hol
man, who desires to offer an amend
ment, it went over until tomorrow,
when, if not sidetracked by pressing ap
propriation bills, it will be considered
ana passed. In the meantime the com
missioner will at once telegraph instruc
tions to receive filings, so as to save the
time consumed by the mail.
If the above statement which was tele
graphed to the Oregonian Tuesday is
true, it will not be long, before filings
will be again received. But as the land
officers here have received a telegram
stating that the instructions had been
sent by mail, the same day this telegram
was sent it is probably a . mistake,
There can be no doubt though but that
congress will extend the time in which
priority rights can be asserted, as it
would be manifestly unjust to pnblish
the notices thirty days thus leaving but
a week or ten days at most in which the
occupant of lands could assert bis rights.
It could not possibly be done in that
time.

Thursday night near Boyd a fire was
noticed near Mr. E. S. Haage 's place, and
as Mr. Haage did not come after his
mail for several days the neighbors went
to bis place yesterday and found, his
house burned and his charred remains
among its ruins. There is no means of
ascertaining anything concerning the
matter, as he was a bachelor and lived
alone. He was a member of the G. A. R,
A coffin was sent out this morning and
the remains of the unfortunate man will
be buried today.
Since writing the above we learn that
Mr. Haage had been to Dufur Thursday,
and from the appearance of affairs, when
he got home he first built a fire and then
went to take care of his horses, these
when found were unhitched but had
their harness on, and it is supposed that
while unhitching them he discovered
that his house had caught fire and left
them to put it out, and that on entering
the house the ceiling fell on him. A
bucket filled with water was found near
where the door had been, which adds
strength to this theory, as he probably
first intended to try and save the house
and then giving this up set the water
down and made an attempt to save some
of his possessions. He served in the
Fifteenth regiment of the regular army
during the war. as commisary sargeant.
DIED.
At Hood River, Feb. 1, John Stanley,
aged 75 years.
Mr. Stanley was born in Broom
county New York in 1816, came to the
coast in 1849 and to Oregon in 1853. He
came to eastern Oregon in 1856 and was
with Col. Stentoe in the Yakima Indian
war. tie settled on nis place at Hood
River in 1858. and resided there up to
the time of hie death. The few remain
ing pioneers the record of whose lives
makes the history of Oregon, are rapidly
passing away, every day almost bringing
the news that yet another of the great
hearted band has gone over to the ma
jority. The funeral took place today at
Hood River.
At his home near Kinesley. Tuesday
February 3rd of pneumonia, Hugh M.
Baxter, aged about oU years.
Mr. Baxter was born in county Down,
Ireland, but came to America thirty
years ago. He has resided near Kingsley
in this county for about twenty-five
years. He was a large hearted genial
man, a kind and good neighbor and a
steadfast friend. He was suffering from
a severe cold while attending the meet
ing of the Farmers' Mercantile Society
here last week, and being a man of robust
build and strong physique he did not
take proper care of himself and a fatal
attack of pneumonia was the result. The
funeral, we understand, will not take
place until next Saturday.

and the third to finishing. The crowded
space of our columns prevent an ex
tended ' description at present. The
superintendent of the factory is a Mr.
Hall of Boston who has had years of ex
perience in the leading factories in the
east, and is a thoroughly competent man
ager. He has some twenty hands at
work at peesent and will add to the force
as fast as orders come in for work. The
factory can work 500 hands to advantage
and we predict that before year has
passed that number of men will be kept
busy in the establishment. Only the
best of leather is being used. The sole
leather is being brought from California,
the calf skins from Chicago and Boston,
while the trimmings are brought from
Philadelphia. It is confidently expected
that a tannery will be located here be
fore the season is over and the leather
manufactured right at home thus keep
ing large amount of money here that is
now sent awav.
Travelers are to be put in the field at
once and the factory will be run to fill
orders as fast as sent in. Mr. Fraser
takes a line of samples east tonight of
the shoes. He will visit Pendleton,
Baker City, La Grande and that section
going from thence to Spokane Falls and
the mining section.
F. B. Robbins will start today on
trip for Southern Oregon and the Sound
in the interest of the Boston Boot and
Shoe factory of North Dalles. He carries
a fine line of samples of the work to be
turned out, and is prepared to fill orders
promptly.

Samples of the Work Turned out at
North Dalles are on Exhibition.
In the front window of the chronicle
office have been placed some excellent
samples of the shoes turned out at the
Boston Shoe and Leather Factory now
in successful operation at North Dalles.
The samples are very handsome and
consist of men's, boy's and youth's Eng
lish grain and calf shoes, as well as
hand welt and Campbell welt, machine
sewed and Standard screw patent made
shoes. We have seen nowhere any
better made or more durable goods than
those on exhibition here, and the pub
lic generally are invited to come in and
examine them, for they will bear the
closest inspection. The goods are such
that their representatives can present
them with confidence and expect a fair
share of orders from the merchants of
the interior,
THE FACTORY, ,
The Boston Shoe and Leather com
pany's factory is now fully completed
and equipped and is prepared to turn
out work that will equal if not excel
any goods ever brought ' to the Pacific
coast. The factory is three stories high,
and has a frontage of 100 feet with one
wing of 75 feet and another of 50. The
building is large enough for the manufac
ture of 150 cases of goods per day, and is
one of the best equipped in the United
States. Nothing is lacking to turn out
the best of work. The first floor is de
voted to cutting of the soles of the shoes,
the second floor to the fitting of the soles
Alliance Objects.
The object of the Washington Farmers'
Alliance as set forth in the constitution
and by-laws is as follows : -
To unite the farmers of the state for
the promotion of their interest, socially,
intellectually and financially.
To secure the enactment of laws to
regulate the inter-state commerce and to
establish equitable relations between the
people and the roads, making the rights
and duties of each depend not upon
doubtful discretion, but upon positive,
enactment.
To secure the enactment and enforce
ment of laws prohibiting the use of free
passes by public officials.
To demand that taxation, corporate
and individual, shall be1 equalized, to
the end that the burdens of government
may be equitably borne by all who en
joy its protection.
To urge such changes in the constitu
tion as may be necessary to make the
office of United States senator elective,
to the end these high offices may become
really representative of the people and
cease to be representative merely of
state and capital factions and state
capital bargnins.
The scope and purposes of the Far
mers' Alliance", it will be. observed are
broad. No question which affects the
agricultural interests of the country,
whether social, intellectual, financial or
economic side, is foreign to it. It real
izes and urges the necessity of an educa
tion for our boys and girls which shall
be based on moral, intellectual and man
ual training and shall inculcate the
essential dignity and necessity of honest
labor. It recognizes the fact no calling
requires a broader range of practical
thought and training than does the suc
cessful farming of today. It feels that
no farmers home can afford to be with
out a liberal supply of the best moral,
scientific, agricultural and political litera
ture of the times, It feels that with
such supply, and by means of intelligent
discussion of those topics, it will be
possible to make every farmer's home a
school house, every mother a teacher,
inculcating a home training, shall retain
the boys and girls on the farm by mak
ing farm life desirable in an economic
sense, as well as satisfying to the higher
social and intellectual demands which
the young do, and the old should, cher
ish. It urges and provides for the dis
cussing questions of broad, methods of
treatment, cost of production, facilities
ot transit and exchange, supply and de
mand, and a host of others which the
quickened thought of the times is press
ing upon the attention of all who desire
to keep abreast of the world's progress.
Steel Barges Betas; Bnllt to Carry Coal
and Lumber to Southern Ports.
San Francisco, Feb. 2. There is stay
ing in the city at present a party of
gentlemen, headed by Captain Mac-
Dougal, of West Superior, Mich., who
represents some of the largest interests
in the United States. They are agents
of the American Steel Barge Company,
which carries on" large enterprises on
the great lakes and Atlantic coast. At
West Superior they have completed the
finest ship-building plant in the coun
try, and are at 'present building steel
barges of about 3000 register tons each
for use on the Pacific coast between
Puget sound and San Francisco. How
many of these barges will be built for
this coast has not been definitely decided,
but they will be supplied by the plant
as fast as the needs of trade require,
Captain MacDougal stated yesterday
that operations would be commenced
here in August. He said :
A great detriment to shipping interests
here, we hhd, is the manner in which
ships are discharging in San Francisco.
We propose operating principally in
bringing coal from Nanaimo, Seattle and
Tacoma, and lumber from the Sound
mills, but the dispatch that vessels got
in this bay in unloading is quite enough
to drive any new enterprise like ours a
way. On the lakes and in the East we
discharge at the rate of 2000 tons a day.
V e find that quick dispatch will be
given in loading at Puget sound, but the
trouble is in San Francisco. Whether
we will run to San Francisco has not
been settled vet. The Mexican and Cen,
tral American trade is verv alluring, and
we may eventually extend our line down
the coast.
It is understood that a millionaire
king is behind the enterprise, and that
its capital is over $10,000,000.
TRAINMEN'S GRIEVANCES.
Employes of the Southern Pacific Din
satisfied,, and About to Strike.
San Fbancwco, Feb. 2. The train
men of the Southern Pacific railroad are
far from being satisfied, and an import
ant conference will be held during the
coniiug week, which will determine the
advisability of a general strike. When
a settlement of differences between the
Southern Pacific Company and their
trainmen was effected last September
was supposed there would be no further
trouble. It seems, however, that there
are a number of grievances which have
been accumulating since then, and the
general grievance committee, represent
ing the Brotherhood of Trainmen of the
entire Pacific system, is now on the way
to this city to consult with General Man
ager Towne and Superintendent Fillmore,
From a member of this committee it
learned that not only are the brakemen
dissatisfied, but "the engineer, firemen
and conductors also have some grievances
which they want adjusted. The men
object to sweeping cars and cleaning
lamps, and want seasons when they are
discharged.
A Good Suggestion.
The Dayton Chronicle of 'recent date
makes th efollowing pertinent seriocomic
suggestions:
It has been suggested that the obstruc
tions in the Columbia river be removed
by convict labor. The proposition is to
select an equal number of convicts from
the Oregon and Washington peniten
tiaries and put them at work on the
Cascsde locks. By this means both
states can secure cheap work and at the
same time remove convict labor from
competition with the various trades and
occupations of men where the peniten
tiaries are located. It is further sug
gested that the soldiers stationed at
Walla Walla and Vancouver be em
ployed as guards. If the citizens of Ore
gon and Washington are anxious for the
opening of the Columbia river, there
seems to be no better method for its
ity accomplishment than the above
proposition. Our penitentiary is full to
overflowing and the population of that
is increasing every day. A large num
ber could be spared to work on the Col
umbia river locks and a sufficient num
ber retained to engage in the manufac
ture of grain sacks. We further suggest
that after a sufficient number are put to
worK on the obstructions m the river
and a full force is employed in the man-
utacture ot gram sacks, it there is still a
snrplus, that they may be employed in
sinking a few artesian wells on the
Eureka Flat'.. They could do this while
they are resting.
HOW WASHINGTON DOES IT.

homestead and timber-culture entries of
lands in section 5, township 3 south of
range 23, east, cancelled pursuant to his
relinquishment, and applications for re
payment, or have them stand for the
purpose of making the required proofs
and acquiring title. You will please re
port what action has been taken in the
premises. Respectfully,
L.EWIS A. (jROFF,
Commissioner.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 29, 1891.
Register and Receiver, The Dalles, Or.,
Sirs : I am in receipt of registered let
ter of January 12, 1891, transmitting an
application by William R. Leathers for
the repayment ot the tees paid on his
pre-emption filing 6089, for the N. E. VI
sec, 31, T. 3. Si, K. 25 E. At the time
the filing was made, in 1887 the land was
reserved under the grant to the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, bv the
legislative withdrawal which took effect
August 13, 1870, and the filing was there-
fore illegal. This nortion of said irrant.
was declared forfeited by the act Sept
ember 29, 1890, but the forfeited lands
are not subject to disposal under the pre
emption law. The filing has accordingly
this day been cancelled. ou will
transmit the duplicate receint and re
linquishment referred to in your letter.
J. he repayment will be the subject of a
further letter. Respectfully,
Lewis A Groff,
. Commissioner.
It will be seen from the above that all
persons who have located railroad lands
in good faith, either under the homestead
or timber-culture acts, and have since
complied with the law, will be allowed
to make final proof and acquire title.
At the same time it will appear, that
these 'lands cannot, under any circum
stances, be acquired under the pre-emption
laws.
The United States Government has
never understood and apparently never
wanted to understand the value . of Al
aska. Secretary Seward was laughed at
when he made the purchase, and that
country has been a laughing stock ever
since. The fact of the matter is that
Alaska is rich in mineral and forest pro
ducts, and her fisheries are the best In
the world. It is high time she be given
a territorial government and the people
a representative in congress. She now
occupies in the minds of the eastern
people, the place made vacant by the
settlement of the country between the
Missouri and the Sierra Nevada moun
tains, and the consequent vanishing of
the great American desert.
Professor Koch, who
is about to start for Egypt, gave a fare
well reception to his labratory assistant
today. The professor says he will prob
ably be absent from Berlin about three
months. He explains that he only par
tially disclosed the method of production
of his curative lymph, because he de
sired to stop the rush f dociors to Ber
lin. If he had described the method of
manufacture more fully, he says he
would have been more worried about
details. Great discontent prevails re
garding the published account of the
method of manufacturing the lymph
Numberless attempts to produce the
lymph have been made, but they found
Professor Koch's description totally
inadequate to enable them to make it.
Gladstone Will Not Retire.
London, Feb.2. Gladstone has on in
tention of retiring from public life for
the present. He has taken a house for
the season on Park Lane, overlooking
Hyde Park. It is known that the re
cent rumors of his intended withdrawal
from public life have hurt Gladstone's
feelings so much that he refuses to reply
to any .inquiry on the subject. Mr.
Morley is reported as stating, that Mr,
Gladstone is in vigorous condition, both
of mind and body, and perservering in
his advocacy of the great reforms which
he is certain will eventually triumph,
and that the liberal party is as united as
ever in support of their leader.

After a tew moments a boy from Boston
raised his hand. "Well, what is It,

the case, it would be advisable to write to
the publihers of that lexicon and call
their attention to the omission."
The apportionment bill has now passed

political parties in tne nouse and tne

made were a little upset by the subse
