A list of these lands by township and range has been prepared for each of the several counties within the Rosoburg Land District, containing these lands. These lists are intended to give merely an approximate area ol such lands in each township, based on the list of lands given in the decree of the federal court This list for any county or counties will be furnished on reciuest. ' This office has no mao for distri bution, nor does it prepare blue prints, i . ...:n j, . . . out wui i urmsn lownsnip piaxs snow ing location of all vacant land and un sold railroad land, at $1.00 per town ship. In ordering township plats, both the range and township number must be given, and remittance should be made by certified rheck or U. S. Postal Money Orde- l-.".;,'able to R. R. Turner, receiver. Personal checks may not bo received in payment. This office is not in a position to give advice as to the character of the land in any locality, and can not at tempt to advise any one in this re gard. As to the disposition of these lands, nothing can be determined until Congress shall act in the matter. It is probable that such action will be taken some time within the next six tnonths, and until such action ij had no information can be given by thi3 of fice. We would suirirest to parties interested to watch the daily papers, as whatever action Congress may take will bo given therein before this of fice has official information thereon to give out. Based on the lirt of lands given in the decree of the court, the ap proximate acreage of unsold railroad lands in the several counties of this district, at the time the suit was In stituted, was a follows: Lincoln, 1019; Benton, 27716; Linn, M620; Lane, 800,110; Douglas, G$7, 3fi0; Coos, 100,620; Curry, 8400; Jose phine, 172,400; Jackso 44,560; Kla math, 13,440. Total, 1,690,326. In addition to the above lands there nro other railroad lands in several of the counties named, that at the time the suit was instituted were unsur veyed, and hence not included in the Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Feb. 7. Can a high school stud ont getting a lunch in the school get more than twice the value of lunch secured elsewhere at the same price? That this is actually the case is shown conclusively in a comparison of foods and prices made by the department ot Domestic Science at the Oregon Agri cultural College. ; According to this ust the following foot and prices flie obtained at the high schools, hav- . mg a food value of 700 calories. In a typical school lunch the fol- fowing items at the prices given are ; procured: cocoa and whipped cream, 3c; egg sandwich, 4c; banana; lc; four .dates, 1 c; 3 cookies, 1 c; total 10c. Of the usual lluivehes purcha,socf elsowhere the following is 'said to be typical of those bought 'bit. high school students: 3 crullers, 5c; cup of coffee with cream and sugar, 5 e; total 10c. The food value of this latter lunch is 250 calories in comparison with 700 calorios of the typical school lunch. Reports from some of the schools of Oregon where lunches are served, show that there me other advantages connected with the 'practice of furnish ing the school lunch. It affords a means of furnishing instruction and training in preparing and serving meals economically and wholesomely. It also lends additional attraction to the work of schools and tends to ke.sp attendance and interest at the best. Teachers are frequently regular cus tomers of the school lunch which the? find to bo helpful and pleasant in comparison with the cold lunches which they might otherwise havo to eat. The following is a typical menu of the Kenton school of Portland: One apple; 2 slices of bread and but- , or; 2 crackers; and a bowl of thicK soup. , PAT FOLEY IN CHICAGO.
