Oregon .Swamp Land claims have been
denied ami a new examination of about
50,000 acres ordered. Some of the fellows
who have been speculating in them are
liable to get cinched yet.
Under the present law s a man can secure
from the government ltitt acres by pre-emp-ion,
KiO acres uuder the homestead, and 1 00

Lake county is altogether too distressing
ly healthy a part of the world for doctors.
There are nly three doctors located in the

Order to get rich. Kxaminer.
Mr. Vanderbilt very recklessly denies the
story that he carries life insurance to the
amount of G'20.000, and, in fact, says lie
has none at all. In some things William is
shrewd, but we must s iy he has acted very
foolishly about this matter, Every life in
surance agent m NeiV York will be after
him now, and he will hive to insure or die.
The festive coachman ag'in appears upon
the matrimonial stage. This time he is a
youthful specimen, barely nineteen years of
age, while his bride is seventy-four and very
rich. Tlie marriage too:i place in St. Roches
church, Ontario, Tuesday. An exodus of
youthful coachmen to Canada is now ex
pected. The potato crop of last season, says a
Portland exchange, bids fair to prove more
remun-ralive than wheat. Large quan
tities of potatoes are being shipped to Cali
fornia, 8,00() to 10,000 sacks going down on
each steamer. About 2,000 sacks are
brought into town daily by farmers, who
receive half a cent a pound for them, which
puts tl.i per day into circulation.
The improvement of Snake river by the

the latter place.
Articles incorporating the Domestic and

Tm busines sin which the .corporation pro- I

Farmers are getting to stall-feeding stock
for market. H. L. Rudd, Ksq., has over a
hundrecUeheep and a car load of fine steers
lip. which-ne will have as fat as butter in
April. Others also are starting in on it.
One farmer near Halsej has 200 mutton
sheep feeding for the Portland market.
With a good shed and wa'er handy very
liht expense is attached to stall feeding
this season in consequence of the low prices,
for grain and feed. "
The snow blockade which occurred early
in December is joa beginning to tind its
way into Eastern papers, which devote con
siderable space to it and characterize it as
fthe longest and worst over expenieneed in
the United States. It will require con
siderable time and patience to make people
in the Eait understand this blockade was
the first ever experienced in Oregon, and
that the railroads were not prepared to cope
with something never dreamed of in their
philosophy. It will also be a difficult mat
ter to convince the people that Oregon is
not subject to such storms, and that while
other sections of the country are now inthe
midst of winter, this State is enjoying mild
and spring-like weather. Every journal in
the State can set this matter right, and as
all have the interests of the State at heart,
there is no doubt but they will let their
light shine on thi3 Oregon mist. 1
Arrangements are in progress for selling
the water power at Spokane Kalis to Eastern
capitalists.
There will he a large steam sawmill built

At Seattle, on Jan. 14th, William Lenard

"In Reading what siall we Avoid?"
The following article was prepared and

the young ladies, upon this topic
The press like many other good things

you to read poetry, and thun there are p ets
(as Byron and Swiuehuue) whom you should

Some novels a:e our teachers, some our de

fifty per cent, higher than Portland.
The dairy pi oduce dealers in San Fran
cisco claim to have the best organized and

Do not read from curiosity what good peo
