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. Oregon

men who have the energy and pluck
to shake the shackles of the congest
ed centers from their shoulders and
seek homea In the western land of

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

BE IT KN0W.V; to all people, especially the ladies, that
Thanksgiving Day will aoon be here, and that it behooves you
to have on hand the proper equipment. 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.
Be thankful that the Ironmonger has these articles in stock.
