There was an increase in the acre age disposed of, due to the operation of the Rinkead law, under which several hundred thousand acres of a i . at Am m wrr iana were disposed oi in western Nebraska at the rate of 640 acres per entryman. This tells its own story. People are afrajd to enter upon the vacant public domain. The? are not land .lawyers, A failure to comply with the requirements, not alone forfeits their claim, but under the very harsh construction of the law, subjects the settler to indictment. Special agents of the government are not satisfied to kindly warn and notify him of his non compliance but are eager to nonncp nnnn him and insist on a forfeiture, and then a punishment -The worst feature of the whole busi -wss of a so-called square deal is that Whpn t.hp noor follows' claim is can- Celled, the rich scrip-holder steps in and MbM it with his svrin Th result is land entries by the people diminished, and 20,400 entries less are made for same length of this year compared with last, country is set back.

THE PROGRESSIVE STORE FULLERTOK & RICHARDSON SYSTEM, ORDER AND CLEANLINESS ARE THE GUIDING RULES OF OUR LABORATORY THE DRUG STORE OF QUALITY NEAR THE ROSEBURC FAIR AND IMPARTIAL REPORTS." In its "fair and impartial" report of the land fraud trials the Portland Telegram of Tuesdav said in reference to the farmer jurvmen and Senator Mitchell: "The gray-haired Senator scanned the faces of the jurymen as they filed : up asking to be relieved from duty, weighing, apparently, his chances of acquittal at the ands of this body of honest farmers, who, more than any other class of men, abhor "graft" and attach more moral turpitude to this form of disnonesty than to all other crimes in the calendar." This is a sample of the Oregonian and Telegram's "fair and impartial" reports of the land fraud trials, but we would like to know what this editorial moralizing and tips to the jurymen as to their duty, moral con victions and responsibilities in such crimes, sandwiched promiscuously in these "trial reports" have to do with the proceedings at bar. It is simply the old story. Both of those un scrupulous papers grasp every op portunity to prejudice the public and influence the jury in theirt "fair and impartial" reports of the trials by such moralizing, comment and ex planation, all under the guise of "fair and impartial" reports of the trials. There is no such thing as fairness and impartially toward the defendants in these cases, never has been and never will be. on the part of the unscrupu lous sheets issued from the tall tower by Harvy Scott, who has long been after Mitchell's scalp and who con siders this the opportunity of a life time to get him out of his way and he can be depended upon to grasp every opportunity afforded in this direction, fair or foul. Judge De- Haven seems to understand and ap preciate this fact and has denied the jury the privilege of perusing any of the Portland papers during the course of the trials. CHICAGO STRIKE REVELATIONS. In the light of revelations made be fore the grand jury now sitting at Chicago, "Con" Shea, president of the Chicago Teamsters' Council, stands forth unmasked. He is a boodler and a grafter, as well as a traitor to his fellow laborers, whom he sold into idleness, into want and into hunger, in order that he might put money in his own purse. The secret is out. The prime moving cause for the dec laration of the strike and for its pro longation is known. It was that "Con" Shea, for heavy money consid erations, had agreed to call out the teamsters and keep them out as long as possible. It is hideous, this story of Shea's perfidy as disclosed to the grand jury. Here is an extract from recent dis patches: A representative of one of the big firms offered Shea JIO.UOU to call a strike against a rival firm. The amount made Shea open his eyes to the possibility ahead. He saw a good thing and became busy in short or der. As a result, the rival firm "doubled the ante" and added $10, 000 more to have a strike called against its competitor, and prolonged as long as possible. The total amount paid is said to have been $30,000. Perhaps Shea will be punished for having levied blackmail. But no punishment can be adequate for what he has done. Poor, miserable, delud ed, mistakes strikers! rr-L j. i e c if. i n i The trial of Senator Mitchell is on D . , j Portland.

Many distinguished mem bers of the National Good Koads As sociation will be present and partici pate in the deliberations of the meet ings. Their years of practical ex perience in road building will be ex plained and demonstrated to all who attend. Every road supervisor and progressive farmer in Douglas county should attend this Good Roads Con vention. The mail order and catalogue houses never let up on advertising "because times are dull" and as a result they continue to take the dollars out of the country that might otherwise go into the pockets of the merchant. It may seem like throwing money away to ketp on advertising, yet it has been pretty well demonstrated that if you want the business you have to go after it. and the proper way for the merchant to do that is to use the columns of the local paper.

Homestead and timberland entries and final proofs are still being held up in the Roseburg land office dis trict; scores of entrymen greatly in convenienced; the development of the country retarded and many im portant industries demoralized all on account of the stupid, recreant and malevolent policy of the Hitchcock combination. The rights and wishes of the people are ignored and even relief by the appointment of tempor ary officers to conduct the business of this land office district is denied them. There is no excuse for hold ing up the business of this land ortice district in such a high handed manner. It is no less than an outrage.

WHY NOT GROW ENGLISH WALNUTS We wish to call your attention to the fact that the Knglish Walnut is the coming of another great iudustry, one that will in time bring milliona of dol lars into the handa oi tbe producera of our state, should they take advantage of ti e good opportunity open to them. It has now been demonstrated beyond a doubt that this is the ideal home of the Knglish walnut. Brooke a Sons, of the Carlton Nursery, are in receipt of a large quantity of Knglish walnuts, gath ered for exhibition purposes, which were grown in niHtiy parts of Oregon and throughout the Willamette valley. In most every instance trees of In-aring age produce good crope of nuts. Of course, we find nuts of many varieties coming from trees grown from store nuts and seedlings of degenerated nuts, but among mem some distinct vane'.iee w h cb are known in our markets . manv are uuteof good size and excellent quali ty. In all cases they were well filled, and the meat of the most delicioue fla vor, proving that all we have to do ia to plant varieties of the right sort. Many of our most prcgrestive farmers and 'usiness men foreoee the great future of the walnut throughout the Northwest, hence many trees are U-ing planted Many are becoming rich in California Why should we stand back when our country wil produce nuts equal to or 1 etter than any grown in the world, in our fertile valleys ami over our rolling hills where timU-r and trees of all kind thrive, along with our mild climate why should we not'.' Now, what kind shall we plant" We advise those of good size, kuown to be ! proline tH-arers, ami nuts of the greatest i-omiuercial value. 1 he Carlton Nursery I carries in stock the of t tie leading va rieties which are know n to le self-fer- : tilizing, good growers, and bear at a 'very young age: we have known in SMM instances of trees hearing one boalbel at six years. However, we claim l that on good -oil and with proper care 're can le made to aver.tge one bushel at seven years, which at the present market price of 14 cents, at an average of 3S pounds pot bushel would bring $1 B0 er tree. Beil g planted 30 feet span, making alsuit fifty trees per sere, . w mid bring $21" an acre, and from that time oa the prod actios siil increase very rapidly ; the trees will live for ' many generation". We are importing from foreign coun tries some mil. ions id dollars worth of , nuts everv Tear. Whv not plate our- 1 selves in position to receive that money , : and distribute it among ti e producers n , 1 the Pacific Coast? Walnut trees should I set wt en they '. are yearlings, iu order that the main I ' tap riot may be removed from the ground, which is an essential point in the stress of the growth, and al-o the, Is-aring qualities of the tree. Nature', provided this tree with a tap r.-.t that it could go deep into the earth ai.d thereby gather plenty of moisture. We find in some instance?- trees that fail to bear, j yet Mooni profusely. Seing trees is ; , full hlMim and fading to bear, some are uiujer tbe impression that it must be . . Icause they were caught by the froet, I which we find by investigation is not t.-ue but in a very few cases. We have learned that the fault lies in the imper fection or rather no pollenat ion or sta mioate blood of male ibloeeom appears . mature,! and drops iff some four weeks before the female blossom or pestilate bods, which produce the fruit, made their appearamc. l.ence the tree is not! fertilized, therefore fails to I ear. All of our most prolific learers are those that the female biaeaon and male blossom appear about or nearly the same time, hence the fertilization occurs and the , tree will bear heavy crops of nuts. We wish to make one more suggestion ' that is that walnut trees will do well am 'tig other trees, where there is a va cancy. Vegetables, berries or other like crope can be raised among the trees tie ; first few years, therefore giving the trssi cultivation and receiving in return BOSaS compensation for your labor, j Krom a commercial standpoint these nut bearing tree are not ouly valuable for their fruit, but also for their wood. i Everybody ia familiar with walnut fur niture, and costly at that, particularly what is known as French walnut ve ; neering. The annual report of the Oregon state ! board of horticulture for 1904 tells us that at Salem are many Knglish walnut 'rees that have been !earing live to fit teen years, and Hiram Smith says one oi his lure five bushels of nuts this year. A.W.Johnson, at Portland, says he knows a tree at Hillsboro that is two feet in diameter, and that it bears eight ! to ten buhels per year. J. 1. Switxer. St Helen's, has a tree that was never cultivated, which is 22 years old and liears five sacks a year. J. A. Postal, Lafayette, hae three treee that bear fifteen bushels. Pr. V. Fink's trees at Iallas liear four bushels each. They are eleven years old. All who eat of them say they are better than those grown in California. "Speaking of the commercial value of the walnut wood allow me to mention one instance. Some thirty years ago a Mr. Wright planted forty acres in French walnuts in Southern California, 20 feet apart. When the trees were be ginning to crowd each other, being then about 20 yeara old, he bad every other tree rut out and sold them for 72,0iX), thus bringing more than the land cost originally with compound interest on the improvement, together with the cost of the trees, labor, etc., besides the sale of nuts off these trees for twelve years or more, and then Inning left a most vg)uaue piece of property, yielding a arR9 income."
