MANY SEEK SUBSTITUTES Ilomesteaders Not Required to Take Places Numbers Await New comers) Before Taking Places In Vigilance Crowd. LA GRAND K, Nor. I". (Special.) Chagrined and disappointed at finding a lineup already In formation at the La Grande Land Office, land hungry dele gations from Grant County, John Day, Pine Valley and Intermediate points are tonight hanging around secluded corners and adjoining stores, reluctant at form ing In the line on account of the storm and cold, but for all that, on the alert lest some incoming train brings more laudseekers. The lineup, formed yester day morning, has suffered greatly In the last twenty-four hours. Cold rain, made all. the more disagree able by a severe wind, has chilled and soaked the entrymen to such a point that they are forced tonight to hire sub stitutes to hold down their chairs. The hotels are filled with landseekers who will be on hand to filo on Innd in Grant. Wallow and Baker Counties tomorrow at 9 o'clock. . The homesteaders do not have to stand In line If they have lived on the land during the last 30 days, but the timber and stone men are differently situated. A dosen at least of the 73 who came In from different directions last night were of the opinion that they could file as a homesteader, and when they found the lineup they proceeded to Join the vig ilance crowd. The line contains only the same orig inal :0, hut any effort on the part of lute arrivals to form an additional line will create a scramble for places. Though reluctant at forming the Hue. they are all in striking distance tonight and a line of .more thsn l'0 entrymen can be perfected In about three minutes. There were no disorders early this morning when the tardy entrymen ar rived on late trains, for they perceived quickly that they were outdone. Thou sands of acres will be filed upon, com mencing tomorrow mrtnrr.-". and It will bring hundred of new families to east ern Oregon, for It is said by cruisers that virtually all the Easterners are af ter homestead land and consequently have fettled for 30 days, eliminating the necessity of a rush in getting to the land office In the manner the timber and stone men do.

HOMES MAY CONSOLIDATE Soldiers' and Veterans' Institutions In Washington Discussed. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Nov. 10 (Spe cial.) An effort probably will be made at the coming session of the Legislature to consolidate the Wash ington Old Soldiers' Home and the Veterans' Home. It Is likely that the plan will call for the abandonment of the Orting Home and the moving of all the old soldiers to Port Orchard. Secretary of State Howell will ask that the Bureau of Statistics and Im migration, at the head of which Is George M. Allen, be made a more Im portant branch of the state govern ment. The Legislature will be asked to grant a larger appropriation than ever, that the state may go Into the publicity business on a larger scale. The plans call for advertising In East ern papers and magazines, and for work In conjunction with the immi gration departments of the big rail roads. To head off unfavorable legislation the institution of higher learning may advocate a plan to levy a one-mill tax, but distribution of the money among the university, state college and three normal schools has caused a wrangle, which may be carried to the Legislature.
