Total disposals of government land In
Oregon, Washington Und Idaho for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, were 1,55,
S12.C3 acres. Oregon's total was 540,128.63
acres; Washington's, 49S.948 acres; and
Idaho's, 516,536 acres.
Disposals o government land In Ore
gon last year -were larger, with one ex
ception, than those of any year since 1E93.
The exception was In 3S96, when railroad
selections amounting to 1,158,707.70 acres
ran the total disposals up to 1,467.472.22.
Oregon Is getting the cream of the im
migration now coming to the Pacific
states. Those who buy deeded lands are
able to pay their way, and those -who take
Tip government land come with ample
means to make a home.
Reports received from the principal land
districts of Oregon disclose a healthy state
of affairs. Officials receive many letters
from Eastern people, who want to know
about Oregon, that land, as Receiver Gal
loway, of the Oregon City land office, so
aptly puts it, where "people do not have
to spend six months of the year in feed
ing out what they raise during the other
elx months." The Dalles office Is doing
fine missionary work for the state In dis
tributing the descriptive literature which
the'O. R. & N. Co. has placed at Its dis
posal. The O. R. : N. Co. is one great
factor in the upbuilding of the Inland
country. Without doubt, nine-tenths or
the people who have settled east of the
Cascades in the past two years had their
attention first called to Oregon through
the efforts of this company.
Disposals of government land for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, will be
larger than those of the year ended June
SO, 1899. In the Oregon City district land
business for the six months ended
December 31, 1899, will show an increase
of 100 per cent over the business for the
six. months ended June 30, 1899. Receiver
Galloway says that timbered lands, which
a few years ago were passed over in con
tempt, are now eagerly sought. New meth
ods and ideas in farming and agricultural
economy explain this tendency. The sa
gacious new-comer sees in the timber a
source of revenue from sale of wood for
fuel. He realizes, also, that land which
produced the healthiest native trees Is the
best land for horticultural purposes. In
the La Grande district original homestead
entries average about 50 a month. This
means the settlement of 600 families a year
in this district, which comprises Union,
Umatilla, -and Wallowa counties, and parts
of Morrow; Grant and Baker counties.

Homestead Entries Seiner Blade
at
the 'Rate of Fifty a Month.
We take pleasure in presenting a general
resume of the business of the United
States land office at La Grande during the
past year, and calling attention to the
fact that our past year embraces a period
from June SO, 1898, to and Including June
80, 1899. It will not be amiss for us to
state that of the number of offices In the
United States ours Is one of 115, and of
the state of Oregon, one of six. Of the
total acreage of the state, our office has
Jurisdiction over 8,843,000 acres, embrac
ing all of Union, Umatilla and Wallowa
counties and parts of Morrow, Grant and
Baker counties.
Baker county has total of 1,166,000
acres, of which 748,833 acres are surveyed
and unappropriated; 11,335 are unsurveyed,
and 405,832 are appropriated. Of the unap
propriated lands there are 60 per cent
timbered, 5 per cent arid, 25 per cent
grazing and 10 per cent rarmlng. During
the year 8542 .acres were appropriated un
der the various acts, homestead, desert
land, timber and stone and mineral laws.
Grant county has a total of 1,363,000
acres, of which 1,000,004 acres are surveyed
and unappropriated; 60,821 acres are un
surveyed, and 304.175, are appropriated. Of
the unappropriated lands there are 50
per cent limber, 35 per cent grazing and
15 per cent farming lands. During the
year 11,786 acres were appropriated under
the acts above mentioned.
Morrow county .has a total of 511,000 acres
in ourdlstrlct, of which 272,330 'acres are
surveyed and unappropriated and 238,670
acres appropriated. Of the unappropriated
lands 25 per cent are timbered, 40 per cent
grazing, 25 per cent, arid and 10 per cent
farming. During the year 9890 acres were
filed on under various land laws. All of
the land in this pounty in our district is
surveyed.
Umatilla county has a total of 1,991,000
acres, of which 820,371 acres are sur
veyed and unappropr.ated, 38,957 acres un
surveyed and 151,360 acres reserved within
the Umatilla Indian reservation. Of the
unappropriated lands there are 35 per
cent timbered and mountainous, 35 per cent
arid, 25 per cent grazing anfl 5 per cent
farming. During the year 28,547 acres
were filed upon and appropriated under
the laws heretofore mentioned.
Union county has a total of 2,028,000
acres, of which 844,137 acres are surveyed
and unappropriated, 478.000 acres unsur
veyed, and 705,863 acres appropriated. Of
the unappropriated lands, 75 per cent are
timbered, 15 per cent grazing and 10 per
cent farming. During the year 13,802 acres
were entered under the laws as above.
Wallowa county has a total of 1,782,000
acres, of which 766,736 acres are surveyed
and appropriated, 662,347 acres are unsur
veyed, and 352,917 appropriated. Of the
unappropriated lands, 65 per cent are tim
bered and mountainous, 30 per cent grazing
and 5 per cent farming. During the year
23,306 acres were filed upon under the vari
ous land laws.
Prom the foregoing, It is apparent that
in our district during the year 103,873 acres
have been appropriated.
During the fiscal year from June So,
3897, to June 30, 1898, the cash receipts of
the office were in round numbers $21,000,
and from June 30, 1898, to June 30, 1899,
c. little below $40,000, thus showing nearly
a doubling of the receipts of the office dur
ing the latter year.
Our original homestead entries for the
past six months' have averaged about 50
per month. This showing is of Itself as
good as we could desire for our state, as
it means 50 persons, or heads of families,
a month, going upon undeveloped tracts
and making homes for themselves. A lit
tle figuring will make apparent the fact
that in our district the past six months
800 practically new homes have been se
lected and 300 families established and
taken up their residence upon them.
Each county in our district could, to a
person with a versatile pen, be made the
Bubject of a lenghty and entertaining ar
ticle, as Grant, Morrow and Wallowa
counties furnish the bunchgrass ranges for
our stock, cattle and sheep; Umatilla and
UnTen the finest lands for grain, fruit and
sugar iet? wi& forests of timber; Baker

county, the finest mineral belt and large

Our railroad facilities are of the best, as
the enterprising managers of the O. R. &

to the best of markets; the cattle to the
stockyards in best condition to command
the highest prices; the lumber to the con
sumer building a home in our own state,
and to the competitive markets of the
East, thus making one of the largest fac
tors to induce the coming settler to appro
priate the fertile lands within our district

THE DALLES DISTRICT.
Officials Receive Many Letters From
Intending Settlers.
The fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, was
one of the busiest la the history of The
Dalles land office, since its establishment,
January ll 1875. A recent report, ema
nating from the general .land office, and
published In The Oregonian, shows that
last year's business of The Dalles office
was in excess of that of any other in
Oregon; and, indeed, it was not equaled by
any land office in the entire Northwest.
This was largely due to the sales of pub
lic lands, neaa- the close of 1S9S, the last
year in which lands could be purchased
under the act of September 29, 1890, the
lands Involved in the old Northern Pa
cific land grant which were declared for
feited by the act already mentioned.
The total sales of lands of the fiscal'
year were 43,254.40 acres, bringing $116,t
495 1L Most of these sales occurred be
fore January 1, 1899, though the January
business of the past year was very large.
This was augmented by a very great
number of original homestead entries,
810, though the average monthly business
of the new fiscal year bids fair to exceed
that of the last In the matter of original
homestead entries. The total business
of last year, briefly summarized, was as
follows:

The office has also "received an unusual
number of inquiries from Eastern people
about Oregon and the Northwest To all
of these, answers have been made, and
each has received Instructive literature
concerning our section. This office is un
der obligation to W. H. Hurlburt, gen
eral passenger agent of the O. R. & N.
Company, and others for reading matter
furnished for use in the line mentioned.
While the Interests of our people are
common, yet no doubt the transportation
companies have received their full share
of benefit, but none Is more deserving
than the O. R. & N. Co. Its efforts to
Inform Intending settlers of the advant
ages of the Northwest have been pains
taking and expensive. Their kindness In,
furnishing the land office with descrip
tive and other literature has saved Kb
officials a great deal of labor, and has
(resulted in much benefit to alU The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Company, with headquarters at The
Dalles, also burnished some splendid ad-,
vertlslng matter, which was used with
good results.
Judging from the Interest manifested
in the acquiring of all kinds of lands, the
future of this district Is very bright,
which seems to be shared, generally, all
over the great Northwest.

THE SPALDING.
A Model Apartment House, Conduct
ed by Miss H. F. Spalding.
In every growing city there exists a de
mand for rooming , accommodations near
the business center for families, business
men and visiting strangers. Realizing
.several years ago that this demand was
manifesting Itself in Portland, Miss Helen
F. Spalding, a lady well known and ap-
nrAiMnfsrl In cnMnl ntrnliac onrl nt- tVio fiflmn
time endowed with acute Huslness in-
stincts, decided to erct a building adapt-
ed to the requirements of this class of
tenants on her property at the corner
of Park and Alder streets.
The new venture was christened "The

CENSUS OF OREGON
4 "
Enumeration of .1900 Should
how About 425,0 joy eopie. ;
INCREASE 35 PER' CENT' SINCE 1890
Btaitnomsh County How Haa
i Larger 'Population Thanf the
' Entire State Had Iai875.
The census of 1900 -will, if well taken,
give Oregon a population of, about 425.
000, an increase of 111,233, or 35 per cent,
since 1890.
The population of the Btate when the
school census was taken last year was
407,283. This figure is reached bytak-
i ing the ratio of school population in
each county, according to the teaerai
census of 1890, and the state census , of
1895, striking an average ratio therefrom,
and multiplying It by the school popula
tion reported for 1899. Very nearly the
same result Is obtained by taking the
j ratio of "school population to the popula
tion of the state at large and adopting
the same process of averaging and. multi
plication. In 1890 this ratio was 3.15, and
in 1895 It was 2.85: an average of 3. Mul-
j tiplying this average by the school popula-
tion of 1899, the result obtained is 397,-
224, or 1Q.059 less than the county test
shows. Allowance for errors in the school
census of 1899 and Increase In population
between then and June, 1900, ought to
show a population of not less than 425,000
next year.
While the school census is the best
available test, short of actual enumera
tion, of the population of the state. It
does not possess the merit of absolute
accuracy. If It did, It would not show
decreases In some of the best counties In
the state. While there has been much
shifting about of population during the
past five years, It does not seem, possible
that counties like Clackamas, Douglas,
Marlon, Washington and Yamhill have
lost ground. StIU It is noteworthy that
Douglas, Marlon, Washington and Yam
hill reported fewer persons of school age
In 1899 than they did in 1895. in Clacka
mas county the school population was the
same in both years.
It has nbt been considered advisable In
making this computation to take figures
farther back than the census of 1890.
There Is too much disparity "n the ratio
between sehodl population s,d the total
population to give any results that might
be obtained real value. Thus, in 1875 the
ratio averaged from 1.78 1 in Linn county
' to 417 in Coos; In 1880, from 2.35 in Linn
i to S 30 In Clatsop; and In 1885, from 1.53
in Crook to 3,61 in Clatsop.
Comparisons between the total popula
tion, school population, and ratios for
1890, 1895 and 1899, are shown in the fol
lowing table:
