Roberts, of the United States land omce in this city, are about as busy a pair as can be found in a days' travel. Piled upon tne register s desx.a pile of tes timony taken in fifty cantestbfvses ready for them to examine and render upon. The fact that there are fifty tests awaiting their action does not any way imply that the office is behind its work, for such is not the case. Everv case and proof is set practically up to date and the affairs of the office were never in better shape, nor the patrons of the office able to receive more prompt or satisfactory service. The volume of business is as great if not greater than at any time for many years. There seems to be an ever increas ing demand for Uncle Sim's land, and on tne other hand there seems to ba an equally extensive supply.

A SWIfT DRIVER United States Land Office Receiver A. A. Roberts is now the posessor of ore of the finest and fastest driving horses in all Eastern Oregon) A few days ago Mr. Roberts was transacting business in Baker City when he chanced to see. what to him looked like a good horse. Mr. Roberts has had considerable experience with'good drivers and feels competent to judge. Therefor he hunted up the owner of the animal which had taken his eye and found that his attention had been directed to the wellknown trotter Mo-.te Georgor. The owner. Mr. J, B. Rogers was willing to part with the horse for a fitting consideration and as a result Mr. Roberts now has no dificulty in getting beyond the dust line. "A" NEW STORE Mr. C. S.
