""V Dolph on Timber Lands. Senator Pclpt'i bill amending the timber-land act has been reported fav erably from tho coismittce on public lands. The measure is one of giral importance to Oregon aad Washington territorjr, and there ii every promise that it will toon btcouie a law. In reporting the bill bick Dolph said: "The act of Jons 3, 1878, for the tale of timber lands in the (tatei of California, Oregon and Nevada and In Wasbiagton territory wm intended to authorize the sale of lands ebiefly val uable for timber for commercial par potts. In the Grit section of the act the words 'and net fit for agriculture' uccar. The were evident) put in the lair for the purpose of including from the operation of the act lauds which, although timbered land, are of reh a character as to be suitable for homesteads, and which may be proGta Mr cleared and cultivated. The secre tary of the "interior his construed the law to mean that, if the lands when cleared of the standing timber and fctuups would be fit for cultivation, they cannot be purchased under tha act, and has suspended all entries of Mich lauds. The result is that the lav ender this construction is useless and fails to accomplish the purposo it wa- intended to accomplish. All the laud in western Oregon and in western Washington upon which valuable titn bar grows is good land and will, when cleared, if it ever is, of the timber and stump?, be suitable for agriculture. The natnral wealth of western Oregon and Washington is laigely in timber, and the timber will never be extensive ly eut down and burned te clear the land for agricultural purposes. - In most casts the man who takes a home itead or pre-emption claim upon such lands intends to secure his title for the timber by an cvasien of the law so far as cultivation is concerned. The set tler who would make the necessary bona fids improvement upon a quarter section of this heavily timfcerea land, seen as is seug'it for its timber, and ahould comply with the requirements f the homdstead law, would prove a damage rather than a benefit to that portion of the country. The cost of clearing such land is at least $100 per aore, besides which the clearing would endanger the valuable timber upon stublie and private lands by the liability of tho spreading of fires which are al ways set in the clearings during the Jrv season. TJnder the prestnt ruling f the interior department the nicit valuable timber cannot be purchased under the act of June 3, 1878, provid ed the 'and could be cultivated after the timber is removed. To expect any one to make a home upon inch land until the Amber is removed for com uercial purposes is idle. To allow parties te secure'such heavily limbered land under any law upon the pretense that it is for a home is a farce. It is not taken for agricultural purposes and will not be. It should be sold as tim'oir land. In western Wahingten it is stated that land can be purchased of private parties, from which the Um bo r has bten either cat or burnt off, for $1 per acre. The amendment pro prosed by the bill to the existing law is to strike out from the first section the words 'and not fit for agriculture,' and from the second section the equiv ahat words 'unfit for cultivation and,' so that land in the states and territery mentioned in the law, which is chiefly valuable for timber, and which, iu its present state, is unfit for agricnhural purposes and cannot be rendered fit for cultivation except by an outlay many times greater than the value of the land after it is cleared, can be sold for its timber, and the timber, instead ef being wantonly destroyed for the purpose ef clearing tho land and made the means of wholesale destruction to the forests of the country, may bo. manufactured and made to add to the wealth of the country, and the lands by that proeess fitted far agricultural purposes, so that parties can purchase this land of the government for com- morcial purposes and not be compelled, if thajr cure it at all, ta take it an dtr the homestead and pre-emption Jaws, and in most cases to evade the law as to cultivation, to procure title." Col. Howlttt, recently appoiuted Receiver of the Yakima Land Office, will not, it is said, accept the position. He has a clerkship in the Oregon Legislature which will keep him uutil after the 4th of March, alter which time his tenure at Yakima would be exceedingly short the prospect being tneit excellent that he would immedi ately be succeeded by a Democrat. An ardent Colorado journal thus cleverly extends to its exchanges fra ternal New Year's greeting: "May the new year bring you less of sorrow, and less to borrow; better health and mere of wealth, more work and more money. May you all strike it rich, four feet wide and a thousand ounces to the t:nl" Peek's Bod Boy- 'HelloP said the grocerymaa to the bad boy, as he same in looking cross. "DanVsay hello to me," said the boy as he toek up tho store cat and went to the sausage machine on the courier and began te turn the hand!. "I am no telephone." "Well, you areatransmitter ail the same," said the groceryraan lau ghing at his attempt at a jako, "but drop that, eat. What you want to r art cat for, putting her in a susage grin dtr?"' Oh, I ain't a going to hurt your cat, but I wish every cat was dead. Our cat got me into an awful scrape last night, and I was .no mora to blame than the man in the moon," said the boy, as he sat down on a box. Everything that gees wrong is laid to me, 'tause I use to be a little jtufl in my youth. That shows that a bey ought never to be tuff, 'cause it sticks to him at long a he lives." "Give us the cat story," said the groceryman as he sat down by the soy and tried to raise his drooping spirits with a glut of re'trn apple cider. "O, I wish I had never been born, cr that I had been born twini, or trip lets, to there would have bern meie ef "us to stand the racket. . Last night I went to bed at nine e'cloek, and left pa and ma up playing youcur. I don't knew how long I had been asleep when I heard a rattling down in pa and ma's room, and pa yelled murder, and ma yelled polics, and a window was smashed, and I heard a tat smll- ,T , . , " , , CEUui.1..un,.un.wUl.jcilH fire, and then IJgrabbsd my pants and went down stairs to te what4the row was, and halp put out tha fire. I rushed into the room, and there wat the offulest smell ef burnt hair I ever smelted. Ma was au on a chair in her night clothes yelling and pa was stand ing looking out of tha broken window, tho top was off the coal stove, the stove door open, and the coal hod and the coal scattered all around the ear pet, and pa was all mussed up, with bleod on the front of hie night shirt, and a scra'ch on his leg. When J came in pa grabbed me by the n'ck and said ho would learn me to fill the coal hod with bUek cats, and I thought pa was crazy. Ma grabbed pa and told him I was not to blame, and about that time a polieemau pounded at the door and wanftd to know what the riot was about, and pa told him every thing was all right, and t policeman told the drivor ef the chemical fire ex tinguisher he could go home, and then pa told me what was the row. It spems our old black cat didn't hae no mors sense than to go ts sleep in the coal hod, on top of the coal, and just before pa got ready to get into bed he went to fill up the stove, and he pour ed the cat right into the Ere. Well, I spese you would havo died to see pa. As quick as the cat slruch tho fire the woke up, or maybe she woke up going down tho reservoir, but anyway there was am e o u w in the stove, and then tho cat came right threugh one of tb mica doers and struck pa with her tor nails, and began to walk en him, and howl. Pa was so scared he dropped tha coal hod and grabbed the est by one leg and threw her through the window, and then he began to dance around. I guess at first he didn't know whether it was a for-sure cat, or only imagination, cause pa has get ts talking a iitttle Tom and Jerry during the holidays, and his nerve are a little unstrung. I expressrd n-y xorrow that the eat should have been scorched, and that made pa mad, 'cause he said we all thought mor3 of tho injuries the cat had received than we did of his being scratched from Genesis te Revo lations, and he said what I ought te have deno was te go around the latt thing before I went to bed and see that thero was no cat in the coal schut tie. He said I owed that, at least, to my family. Pa is tho unreasonablest man I ever. Who would over think of looking for a cat in a coal schuttlel After pa had given nt fits about it, he began to jaw at ma, and told her she ought to know better than to yell se." "Say," said the groceryman, stepp ing the boy, "1 want you to toll me taerntb. Did you have anything to da with putting that cat in tho coal scuttle) For if you did, that sotties it with me." "No, sir, I hope to die if I did," said the boy. "Did I ever do any thing to cause yon to think I was a cold blooded heartless villain? Have I ever harmed a dumb animal? I have saved lots of dnmb animals from harm, but I never injured one in the least. No, it was an accident, such as might occur in any family, but I bet you pa never empties a coal scuttlo again without! analyzing it for tracts of a eat," and tie bad bor wont oat feeling hurt that not only his pa Vuf his old friend the grocer man should take him to be a boy who would scorch a cat. Seattli, W. T., Feb. 1. Tha " I 1 Northern Pacific Express Office in this ' city was hurgalized last night. The less has net yet been made knawn. . After Many Years. A day or two ago Ger. Sypher found a heavy anchor chain on the beach near Fioras lake, leading eut into the turf in such a manner at to make it probable that the anchor ii still at tached to it. Thtt calls to mind a peculiar, shipwreck which happened there something like eighteen years ago. A large vessel, a barque, was seen drifting aimlessly around just north of west of Cape Blanee in such a manner at to indicate that the waa, deierted. She was seen thtre a day or two gradually approaching the shorn, and during the night, or early in the morning, she drifted in on the beach at the place where the anchor is new found. We never learned her name, where tha bailed from or whence she eame. She was lumber laden, probably from the sound for San Franciteo. The cargo furnished material for several houxes in this vi cinity, and parti of her ironwork uay yet be seen all through the csnntv. No humains were found upon or near tho wreck, and, aeeordiug to our in. formation, tho boats, clalhing, papers and imtiuuien's were misting, show ing 'that the bad undenbtedly been abandoned by her crew. Did they reach part? Who shall tolil It is only one more of tho many mysteries of the sea. 'Southwest Oregon Itec order." A Portland paper of tha 2Ut says a.l" f "". t&e American ,h,P U- kuthard Hurlburt came up beforo JUJS Daa(j 3 ady yesterday for mat on a charge of maltreating Djru inicio Giurcovich, one of his crew. The tailor teatified that soon after the ship passed Cape Horn the captain tlrettled him and banged him against the mizzenmatt. The mate and two saHoru testified to tho sanio thin. The cap'ain, who appeared a mild mannered man, tes.iSed that the tailor was called into the cabin to be admon ished a'oeut hu stylo of steering, and that theonly violi-.ice used was what was necessary to get him expaditieusly out of the cabin again. The captain further stated that the first officer had struck the long named sailor over the head with a belaying pin and made the blood come. He was discarged. The mate has been arrested, and nill be tried for his bit of amusement. One would suppose that ship's crew would be cool headed just after round ing the Horn, and that if a man did to far forget himself as to bang another's head with a miz7enmast or a marlin spike, the matter would have bean for gotten before arriving here. But some people remember trifles a long time. England Aroused- Last Saturday afternoon another attempt was made to blow cp tho House of Parliament and tho White Tower in the city of London with dy namite. Many persons were badly in jured, and great excitement prevails all over England. A man named Cunn ingham was arrested on tutpicion seen after the explosion, and is being tiied for the crime on circumstantial evi dence that strongly indicates his con nection with the fiendish plot. Other arrests have since been made. Old Eng land is thoroughly aroused, and will leal eteruely with these would-be in discriminate murderers if they are caught. The people of the United States have no sympathy with such eutrages, and do not believe in redress mg grisvances by any such meaus. A Minnesota paper tays forty years ago the land en which Minneapolis no.Y stands was purchaied for ?l25 per acre. To day the tamo land is sell iug iu choice localities at 1,500 per foot. While the city has enjoyed great prosperity in the past year, its streets are eiowdsd with idle men, and the boom is apparently as badly bursted at that of Portland. The ad vantage, however, is with Portland; it has gone through the psrieJ of cdopse and is now having a steady, healthy growth. Australians have discarded the horse-bit and substituted for it a car rago, consisting of a steel band placed, over the front bone of the horse's nose, to which appliar.ee the reins are at tached. It is claimed for this substi tute for the bit that it gives complete control over the horse without infliet ing the least discomfort or torture. The Seatle, W.
