(OaSSOB SEHTI8SJ. JACICNOSVIM.K Sathrdat, December 12, 1SP5. ts I?i7Js &y Dolplu "WAsniHCTON, Dec 9 Senator .Dolph has introduced1 a bill asking the Ttpealof all la,ws allowing entries for timber culture; also law authorizing -the tale of desert lands in certain .states and territories. In addi'.icn to the repeal of these laws the biM pro tide that any person entitled to enter a homestead shall on complying with all the provisions relating to home steads, ba entitled to enter one entire fteclion or less of desert Inn da or mountainous land. All lands exclu sive of timber and mineral lands which will not, without irrigation, produce some agricultural crop, shall be deemed desert landp, and lands exclusive of mineral lands and chiffly taluable for timber, which are so mountainous and rough that they cannot be plowed and cultivated shall be deemed mountain land, and these facts shall be ascer tained by proof of two or more wit nesses, whose affidavits shall be filed in the land office at which the lands are subject to sale. The 6eertUry of the interior is to provide for cross examination of such -witnesses, and for production of proof on behalf of the United States. The bill also provides that any piece of public lands three fourths ef which is desert or moun tninou? land shall be classed as desert or mountainous land, as tne case may be. Mr. Dolph also introduced a bill for forfeiture of the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad from Wallula to Portland. Also for admission into the Union of the state of Washington. Also for the relief of Thomas Gunnean, of California. Also for the relief of John Fitzhugh, of Oregon. Also for the relief of the states of Texan, Colo rado, Oregon, Nebraska, California and Nevada. This bill pro ides for the completion of certain proof in con jiection with tho claims of these states for expenses incurred in the enrolling, subsistence, arming, etc , of troops alled into the service of the-United States. Also for relief of survivors of the Whitman massacre. Also for relief of the First National bank of Portland, Oregon. This bill appro priates 18,399, being the amount ad vanced by the bank to contractors who built the revenue cutter "Corn in," and used by them in construction of the vessel. Also for construction of a custom house at Portland, and for this purpose 3500,000 are appropriated) Also for the relief of Ben Holladav. When found 'necessary to keep meat or poultry longer than was expected uprinxle pepper,, either black- or red, over it. It can be washed off easily when ready for cooking. Powdered charcoal is recommended to prevent meat from tainting, and some assert that "when fowls have been kept bo long as to turn greenish, they can be made assweet amj fresh as , ever by sprinkling with powdered chorcoal an hoar before cooking." It may be that the charcoal can make meat sweet, or fowl awett again, luitafter-a taint lias gone so far ai to discolor it, we do net believe it can ever be brought back to a healthy state, and certainly should not idviie the experiment. A greenish tinge is a sore-indication of decay, but that charcoal, either in lump or pow dered will arrest an well as prevent this change, is doubtless true. In hot weather it is always advisable to keep a jar of charcoal in the clospf ready for use when needed. Democratic journals are quite se vere in their criticisms on Clevelsnd for not attending the funeral of Hen dricks. Among the most srcastic-in its remarks is the Chicago "Herald," which says: "The 'one life' of which wp have heard so much in this coun try, since Mr. Hendricks death,-., is that of a two hundred and forty pounder, wearing a 7J hat and a No. 10 boot, with other things to match. What would the timid do if t.iat 'one life' was that of a child Gve yp.rs old, as isithe case in Spain! Tho Presi dent may aseet with -an accidrnt, but the country will not lia-e to sit up with him through th whooping cough croup, as the Spaniards will with their chief executive." Judge Dawne, who was removed by President Cleveland shortly after his appointment, "for cause," has disap peared from Alaska. He left Sitka on the 2nd of-November in an Indian canoe, and is believed to be somewhere in British Columbia. As a matter of fact, he has been teen on the Skeena river. It is taid he is wanted at Portland for an unsatisfied claim of S30.000. Hen. Jijhn Shrrcian, of Ohio, was elected President pro tern of the Sen ary. Tfie lienor was rfiVred John A Lngr.r,.if -Illinois, bin hu respectfully dtclinfU. According with the suggestion of Judgd Deady that mortages might be talued for assessment in proportion tuSbe'valaation put on land for that purpose, mortages have been assessed in Multnomah, Clackamas and Col umbia counties at 50 per cent, of their par value, in Polk at 663, in Wash ington at 75, in Marion at 80, and in Benton, Douglas, Linn, Lane, Uma tilla and Yamhill at par. It is said that the Portland money bag-, who own exlemave mortages, will refuso to pay taxes in the counties where they are nsressed at par, -and will contest, (be matter in the United States su preme court. It is doubtful if thall court will try to regulate the assess pssoientof taxes in this state, where the assessment law has been declared constitutional by the supreme court of Oregon. Mr. Ht-ndrickt is the fifth Vice President who has died In office George Clinton during the first term of Madison, Etbridqe Gerry during the spcond term Madison, William R. King, Vice-President under Pierce aud Henry Wilson during Grant's second term, being his four prede cessors. Senator Stanford of California has given 20,000,000 to endow a univer Mty in which young men and women are to be taught the practical duties of business life, and the old worn out curnculuras are to be neglected. This is the largest sum ever given by one man to any object of public character. Cotter's Fine Whiskies.
