LIST DESIGNATING MUST BE
CM BE
USELESS TO MAKE ATTEMPT BEFORE SUCH TIME
Until a list of lands designated by
the secretary of the interior as com
ing under the 230-acre act. there is
no need for homestead seekers of the
La Grande land office district to write
to Register Bramwell for information
on this subject. Local land officials
have been fairly covered up with let
ters seeklug information in this re
spect, and for the first time since the
ict was passed the press has been
Mowed to explain matters. The Oh
terver is the first paper in Oregon to
publish this ruling correctly.
The officials of the local land of
flce have received a letter from the
general land office regarding the en
larged homestead act of Feb. 19th of
this yenr. Many who have heard of
the act allowing homesteads of 320
acres, have attempted to file on this
amount of land. The letter referred
lo, Is in part as follows:
"It has been brought to the atten
tion of this office that In curtain of
fices applications for entry under the
enlarged homestead act are being re
ceived and suspended.
"Th instructions under tills aVt
have been approved not as yet been
printed for distribution. From time
to time lists designating the lands
which are subject to entry under this
act will be sent you. You are, there
fore, directed that any applications
under said act. for lands not listed,
souhld be immediately rejected and
this year Chance's great machine will
slip a cog and come a cropper.
Ciiless prognostications receive a
black eye, the same four teams that
have lately got Into the habit of oc
cupying the upper berth in the Na
tional League will again hold this
division. The only team that the
ilniiMst"i-s concede to have a chance
to crowd out either Chicago. New
York. Pittsburg or Philadelphia, is
Cincinnati. Kiwly season reports show
that .Manager Clark Griffith the'new
Red Leg Pilot, has got together a
lively bunch of youngsters and at the
same time has enough seasoned ma
terial on hand to lend ballast to his
craft. If If were not for the ran mat
"blowing up" is a favorite failing of
Hie 'Reds, the team would be taken
much more seriously.
Naturally John Mi O raw and his
Giants mcupy a prominent place in
the baseball horizon. McGraw is a
manager who likes to 'raise" his own
players and he has taken on a lot of
new fellows this year that are touted
to be 21 karat. Hell have need of
them. too. for like Chicago, he 'will
be without the services of two of his
former stars, big Poger Bresnahan
and the Irrepresible Mike Donliii.
McGraw may have found some won
ders in his new consignment but he
acrainilness of Rresnahan and Donlin
and the mauling that the latter wus
wont to give the ball are likely to be
sadly missed at the Polo Grounds this

, the parties notified that they will gala
no rights by filing of such applica
tions or by appeal from the rejection
.hereof. So rights whatever can be
acquired under said att, either by
application or setelement, prior to the
time the lists are received in the local
land office.'"
The letter Is not quoted in full, but
it will be seen that the local land of
fice officials have no latitude in the
matter and must reject any filings
for more than the usual amount of
land in a homestead until they re
ceive lists of lands upon which fil
ings for the 320 acre homesteads may
be made. The act applies to Colorado.
Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, Wyoming, Arizona and
New Mexico.
Only iaudB thatar e non-irrigable, non
mineral and do not contain merchant
able timber will be included In these
ilsts. Any homestead entryman of
such lands, upon which final proof
has not been made may extend hs
holdings by filing upon another
acres of the same character, lylnp
contiguous to his former filing. He
must, however, at the same time of
making final proof, show by two wit
nesses that at least, one eigth of hits
entry has been under cultivation con
tinually, beginning with the second
year, and that at least one fourth has
been under cultivation contlnuotisly
beginnlng with the third year.
terriestial ball. So McGraw says.
Pittsburg again looks good, despite
the fact that the first-base probleri
is still unsolved. But doesn't look
nny. better than it did last year. As
the Pirates lost out last year by only
a game or so, Manager Clarke is
counting, by the grace of Honus
Wagner and a litter break In the luck,
on resuming the old place at the top,
which Pittsbrug graced for three
years in succession. A new center
fielder and a new first baseman are
In the Pirate's line up and Clarke

bui uiu.
Almost without argument, the last
three places In the race are allotted
to Boston, St. Louis and Brooklyn,
with little speculation on how the
final shuffle will find them arranged.
Of the three St. Louis will be watched
with the greatest Interest, owing to
the Herculean effort that Bresnahan
is putting forth to make something
out of nothing.
"Brother Against RrntlHr."
Two brand new pictures, run for the
first time will be seen tonicht. trie
feature of which is "P.icther aginV.
Brother." This is a story of tne. civil
war in which one brother toes to the
Confederate eide and the .t!ie- stickB
to th old flag.
The sto.-y is thrilling from resin
ning to end and the effects will be
used so that it will be s"i u nnt
ual as U'o.
"The Cup of Tea and She" is the
other new picture and is a fine love
story.
