Oregon has an area of 96,000 square miles, or 61,459,200 acres. It is 3500 square mileB, or 2,240,000 acres larger than New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Is land, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Delaware all put to gether. As thickly peopled as Rhode Island, it would maintain a population of 30,729,600, and as densely populated as England, it would give habitation to 51,933,024 people. Of this vast domain, but 3,000,000 acres are cultivated. This leaves 58,459,200 acres unculti vated.

Each of the vessels is to carry the heaviest armor and the most powerful ord nance for vessels of their class, and to have the highest practicable speed.

It must be pretty cold in old Iowa, The recent storm reminds Baily, of the Britt, Iowa Tribune, of the old time winters. "Whew!" says he, "wasn't that blizzard dandy? Put us in mind of twenty .years ago, Used to fre'-ze a bottle of 4th proof alcohol around a stick and U8 it to knock the icicles off the teakettle spout when we were getting dinner. The sun dogs all froze to deatn tnat winter and a nightmare had her hoofs frozen off. A young fellow proposed to a girl over ut Upper Orove but his words froze in the air and never thawed out until June and then he was ac cepted by an old tuaid, ot) years old, who happened to be present when the words thawed out. This brought on a breach of promise suit, but it dragged Along until the next winter when the old maid and the records i'roze t-tiff and the court deolared the engagement broken off by host. It was nothing to go out and sink a Bhaft forty feot through the snow bank to find the oow in the morning, and when we found her Bhe gave ice oream; this is snow joke, The smoke froze solid in the ohimneys and they had . to make shoe pegs out of hollow logs to let the frost out of the farmers , boots." ..

General Miller, when this demand was first made, declined to grant them lime, and insisted upon an answer being given him by noon today. At the same time, he gave assurance that lives and property would be protected. - . . "The foreign residents then peti tioned General Miller to grant the extension desired by the rebels, as a fight would cause inevitable loss. This also General Miller refused. "At tbe designated time, a na tive commission again boarded the United States transport Newport and asked for delay, saying that tbey were unable to control the army, which occupies the city and surrounding country. General Mil ler re I used and prepared to land forces, seuding an emissary back to Manila fur instructions. "Ti e rebels are strengthening their position, and are preparing to resist. The streets of Ilo Ilo are full of armed soldiers, who are con stantly entering in every direction.
