Novelty In Sunday School Orchestra,
What do you think of a brass band
In a Sunday school? The Baptist
Sunday school has the pleasure of
having a brass band, less the drums,
help them in their songs. This is a
novel feature and is creating much
Interest at this time.

THE 5-10-15 CENT STORE
Tracts'of 640 Acres '
MayBeHomesteaded
The United States land office at
Ilosehurg, haj issued the following
circular regarding the 640-acre home
stead act;
On December 29, 1917, the presi
dent approved what is known as the
040-acre honfestead act.
This act provides that any person
qualified to make entry under the
homestead laws may enter such lands
as have been designated "stock rais
ing lands", not exceeding 640 acres,
of unreserved public lands, is a reas
onably compact form. The secretary
of the interior is given authority to
designate, on application or other
wise, as stock raising lands, subject
to entry under this act, such lands
as are chiefly valuable for grazing,
which do not contain merchantable
timber, are not susceptible of Irriga
tion, and do not contain water power
or reservoir sites.
When an applicant applies to en
ter land that has not been previously
designated as stock raising land, his
application must be accompanied by
corroborated affidavit in duplicate,
showing that the land applied for is
of the character contemplated by the
act. Such application, accompanied
by the usual fees and commissions,
will be received by the register and
receiver, and suspended until the de
partment may actually ascertain the
character of the land.
While the application stands sus
pended, the applicant may not enter
or improve the land, until it has been
definitely designated as stock rais
ing land.
A former homestead entry of land
of the character described in this act
will not prevent a person taking up
land under this act within the radius
of 20 miles from the former entry,
but the total amount of land entered
may not exceed 640 acres.
In lieu of the area of cultivation
required by the homestead law per
sons entering land under the 640-
acre act will be required to show im
provements to the extent of 1.25 per
acre at the time of final proof, which
may be within three to five years
from date of allowance of entry. At
least one-half of such improvements
must be mado within three years from
date of entry.
It Is probable that considerable
amount of the vacant unappropriated
land of this district could come under
the classification of grazing land! On
July 16. 1916, there was vacant land
In tho various counties in this district
as follows:
Benton,, 3367 acres; Coos, 13,979;
Curry, 35,993; Douglas, 33,843, Jack
son, 55,885; Josephine, 33,843; Kla
math, 638,; Lane, 28,516; Lincoln,
1038; Linn, 319. One a portion of
Linn, Benton, Lincoln and KKlamath
counties are in this district.
This office will furnish on appli
cation a list, by township and range,
of the vacant lands within any par
ticular county or counties within this
district. We have no maps for dis
tribution but township plats showing
all vacant land and all unsold rail
road lands within the township will
be supplied at $1 per township plat.
The 640-acre homestead law will
not apply to tho railroad landB when
they may become open.

City Provides Funds
For Band Leader
At Tuesday's council meeting the
city council appropriated $50 per
month for the year 1917 for the pur
pose of paying the leader of the Ash
land band and the boys' band. This
appropriation will guarantee the
maintenance of these two popular or
ganizations. Finances for music, in
struments, incidentals and the sum
mer concerts will be raised by other
means, but the city's allotment of
funds puts the bands on A permanent
basis for the year and Carl Loveland
will be retained as leader. Mr. Love
land has received much better offers
from other communities, but has been
prevailed upon to stay with Ashland.
The -city is Indeed fortunate In being
able to keep a leader of Mr, Love
land's ability and enthusiasm.
"Bill" Loorais, pioneer member of
the Ashland band, who has played
drums ever since the present contin
gent of rauisc lovers can remember,
has been forced to give up band work
owing to other affairs, and his resig
nation as president of the band, a
position which he has held for years,
was accepted at band meeting Mon
day. Frank Jordan was elected presi
dent. Lynn Mowat is vice-president
and Clark Bush treasurer.
The band is working hard In prepa
ration for the big band dance to be
given February 2 and has secured the
very latest, dance music and Is prepar
ing it for this event. Another band
event which is bound to be well re
ceived is a concert which will be giv
en at the Vining theatre within the
next month with the assistance of the
boys' band and other musical talent.
