I A writer In Bcribner's Magazine tells that the public domain in all gone, and that no more homesteads are to be had, save, perhaps, In the arid districts or the Pad ho Coast hi u tea, and that because the West once the mecca or ambitious young men, no longer offers the homesteader an opiortuntty the pop ulation now liockff to the cities for employment. To a man In a New York office, even 'though his infor mation is gleaned rrom reports by the Forestry Commission, this state ment might seem apparently true. To us of the West who know of the millions or acres of unentered gov ernment land, the story Is not taken seriously. It Is true that the choice land Is gone, but In the state of Ore gon alone something like 1G.000, 000 acres of government land yet remain. Much of It is fit only for grazing, and lies remote from trans portation, but with all theBe condi tions to contend with, thousands of sturdy American citizens may even now find good homes in this, the best part of Icicle Sam's domain. In the forest reserves are also in numerable tracts of hind that some day, in the not distant future, will he thrown open to entry.

Southern Oregon naa, In Its climate and soil, just the right elements to produce perfect fruit, combining size, color ing and quality, and as soon as these young commercial orchards, begin to bear sufficient to make their product a factor in the market, buyers will be on the ground to take the fruit.

' Wa.moes for Cold Weather I Mi- L0m It tflfl At a Joint meeting of the teachers of Jackson and Josephine counties a few days ago at Ashland, the Nor mal School question was out of the interesting themts discussed and res olutions condemning the action of the Legislature in withdrawing State support from the Normals, and also advocating the establishment of three Normals In the State were passed. Since four Normals were discontinu ed, two in Southern Oregon, one at Monmouth and the fourth at, Weston, east or the mountains, the I Inquiry naturally arises as to where the proposed schools are to he lo cated. On this Important point the convention remained silent. Perhaps the convention assumed that the Leg islature could wrestle with that prob lem, so that tho blame for any disap pointments might be placed on the lawmakers' shoulders. While we re gret the ahscense of our Normal schools, It seems an lm possible task to get the matter adjusted to meet general approval, and possibly that Is why shrewd politicians Impartially killed all four Institutions.

Therefore'; you are hereby commanded to appear at The Ironmonger and buy; first a good enameled roaster, it is necessary. DON'T use that old iron one longer. By so doing you can get one of the best Heed pattern, a woman'3 invention, for $1.75 to $2.75 and with each a 6" butcher knife will be given up to Thanksgiving Day. Furthermore; It is incumbent upon you to provide the proper tools for the carver. The butcher knife given with roaster is good but will not fill the place of a carving set. Good work is done best with good tools. Also do not forget that a good meat chopper is necessary in preparing that delicious stuffing, mince meat and other delicacies.
