Dated Koseburg, Oregon, July 81303. H. C. Sloccsi, Jr. City Treasurer. The Homemaker for June contains a severe arraignmentof the recent land transactions in the United States inte rior department as follows : "About 25, 000,000 acres of public lands have passed from the government into private hands during the present fiscal year ending 30th It has been stated that fully three, fourths of the entries under the law named are of such a nature that they would not bear close inspection. Con sidered in the light of the spirit in which our land laws were enacted, they were frauds. Many of them are the grossest kind of steals. Here, then, are millions of acres of the government's best land required through fraud and perjury. Irrigated and made into homes for Amer ican citizens it would be of inestimable worth to the nation." JULY CLEARANCE SALE.

Crane and wife, of Long Beach, Calif., arrived in Boseburg Tues day evening for a few days visit with Mr. Crane's brother-in-law, Mr. Bristol. Mr. Crane and his wife are enroute home from Skagway where they have been on a pleasure trip. Mr. Crane states that Skagway once so prosperous a city, is now almost deserted. He is very much impressed with the country having visited all the places of interest along the coast including Treadwell mills on Douglas Island where over one thousand stamp mills are in operation. The trip north was made all the way by water, but coming back, from V ictena they came by rail. A voune woman was standing on a wide, smooth pavement alone in front of a church in Denver, waiting lor a car, no other person being within 200 feet of her, when suddenly, and from no ascer tained cause, her thin ekirts caught fire, and before any one could reach the Epot to aid her she was fatally burned. No cigar or cigarette stump lay near, no wandering electric spark, electricians say, could have caused the conflagration ; no noise of an igniting match was heard nor was any partly burned match found, and it seems incredible that a spark could have been struck from the pave ment by her shoe as she perhaps moved slightly. But this is not all of the strange case, for the night before this young woman, who was visiting friends in Denver, but so strong a pre sentment of some Budden and strange catastrophe impending for her destruct ion that she could not sleep, but was restless with acute distress all night. The cause of the fire must have been natural, yet connot be explained, and even more myeterious, to the average mind, is the source and cause of the message that forewarned her of her faf e. Verily, there are more things in heaven and earth than our ordinary philoso phies explain or underntandingly ac count for. , !
