Nearly all of tills mail went to people who made Inquiries relative to Oregon within a few days of the time which i the mail was sent.

In one mail the lo cal railroad office was notified by the commercial club of 0 families who asked about rates nnd stated that they expected to come to Ore gon when the colonist rates wero in effect, and as far as they knew Hoseburg would be the location se lected by them. As usual tho larg est number of Inquiries wero from Illinois, with the usual largo num bers from Oregon. Washington nnd California. The mail indicates that a good many Eastern peoplo have come to these threo states within the lust 90 days and are not Just exactly suited with their presenl lo cations, nnd therefore make Inquir ies about, tho attractions and re sources of the Hmpqua Valley, with a view to changing. Tho average number of Inquiries wero received from Iowa. Minnesota. Indiana. Wis consin. Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. A larger number than usual were received from North Da kota. Idaho. Michigan, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Kansas, Colorado, Texas and New York. Tho local papers containing tho j writeup of the meeting held by the former North Dakota residents was 1 pent to a number of Dakota papers; and resulted in inquiries from Inter- j ested people.

Ing, tho court explained thnt tho point on which It had been granted had never before been brought to the attention of the supremo tribun al of this state. The court declared that tho raising of this point by At-tomey-Oeneral Webb had raised the gravest doubt as to tho correctness of the court's procedure nnd the sllb seiiuent consideration of tho ques tion by the court had entirely sat istled in that the point was well made by the chief attorney of tho state. 1-ognllly Xot Questioned.
