- .. Trie Land Office Rulings.
. !. The Dalles, Or., April 8, 1891.
.' Editor Chboniclb : Please allow a
word in your columns in defense of out
raged justice." Your streets are crowded
with applicants to enter the forfeited
lands according to the provisions of the
forfeiture act which every school-boy of
the land has read and understands.
Among the .provisions of said act as
every intelligent man knows is one giv
ing the eligible applicant the right to
purchase at $1.25 per acre not more than
320 acres, and make payment any time
within two years from the passage of
said act.; -.Many have come from a dis
tance, intending to enter their lands
under thi provision, not having brought
the purchase money with them, as the
law does not ask it and are . very much
surprised, on presenting their purchase
applications, at baying them refused on
the grounds of not being accompanied
by the cash. I assume that this is a des
potic ruling ox Uaptain Lewis, without a
shadow of an excuse. All the instruc
tions they have had on which they
could possibly ..base their refusal of these
applications are contained in a letter to
the La Grande office which states "The
presentation of a notice of intention to
purchase under said section will not in
sure the land from disposal."
It certainly does ; not require, more
than a bushel of brains to enable any
man to see that this has no bearing in
the case whatever, and I challenge Capt.
Lewis to produce any instructions which
any reasonable individual can construe
as a justification of his refusal. And
further, if in his . mental bewilderment
he imagines be has a right to refuse these
applications, he certainly does know he
has no right to refuse to officially reject
them, for the 66th rule of the Rules of
Practice(a copy of which every land of
fice should have)8peoiflegg that the "reg
ister and., receiver , shall . indorse . upon
every rejected application the date and
the reason for rejection and.- note upon
the records a memorandum of the transaction-'
But he has even assumed the
authority to refuse to reject these ap
plications which would place them on
file for thirty jdays with privilege of ap
peal, corisequently many , parties are
held here away from important work, on
heavy expenses and - puzzled to know
what course to pursue. '.'.' " a " ''
I, claim this, is an inexcusable md un
just imposition on ' the - right of settlers
and the facts should be known to the
public. V . , . r -
.1 will say further that Col. Lang,- act
ing in the absence of Capt. Lewis who is
sick,, has at all tjimes shown a willingness
to act in harmony .with the original rul
ings and in justice to the applicants, but
strict orders .-from Mr. Lewis prevents
him from so doing. J. A. Soksbe.
. ' - The Portage Right of Wtyi
The dispatches inform us that senator
Dplph is tracing the history of the ap
plication for the right of way over : the
government land at the Cascades.
Major Handbury had recommended that
the government construct the road, pro
vided the state would agree to transport
over the road materials for. the govern
ment works. With the usual delay and
red tape nothing has been done further
than that one official thinks it would be
all right, and .another thinks otherwise,
and the boss of the red ' tape outfit and
high chief cockalorum of the circumlocu
tion office has gone fishing or something.
The chief of engineers had recommended
that the work-be -ordered done by - the
government but the.assistant secretary
of war in theJ Jibsence.-of Jthe secretary
referred he matter -to the Judge advocate
though. the secretary had po authority,

rising every day. ' ' '
Working Tor he Portage Road.
From a. --private jietter received by
Captain Lewisy'I'-of this, city, from the
Hon. Phil Metchan, state treasurer, we
are permitted to copy the following :
"The board entered into negotiations
with Major Handbury immediately after
the passage of the act, authorizing the
building of the Cascade portage railroad,
and that officer forwarded our proposi
tion, with his recommendation, to the
war department. . As we are unable to
proceed with our work until we secure
right of way we could proceed no further
until this is granted and we have peen
looking -for a favorable reply from the
department for some time. Just as soon
as it is possi Pie the work will Pe pegun
and I assure you no one is more anxious
than myselt to see it completed, and the
governor assures me of his anxiety in the
same direction.

G. Root and C. W. Hudson, yardmaste'r,
have" given; us a version s oft' the ; accident
that occured to Jim Blakney's team yes
terday' which places the ' matter: in -a
very different light. They assure us
that the engine was stopped three cars
lengths from the team, and that engin
eer Farmer waited, before moving, till
he received a signal from the driver of
the team indicating that he might back
up. After Mr. .banner started the en
gine. he noticed, that the team -began.- to
back. again, when he. promptly stopped
the engine the second time, and waited
until the team and . wagon . backed over
the bluff; when the engineer, switch
man and yardmaster went and helped to
get them out. The truth is, as they as
sure us t .the driver, . when the horses
first began to back a little, jumped out
of the wagon but the lines got around
the front stakes in such a way that the
more the driver; pulled the more the
horses backed, because the driver was
unconsciously pulling them back until
they backed over the bluff. .. The Choni

The high water mark, so far as wheat

when clhb wheat was- sold at, seventy
cents per bushel on board the cars at
Walla Walla. It has been some vears
since so bich a figure, has beert paid.
The. foreign markets are -strong as well
as the San Jeroncisco, iAstern and Port
land market. A conservative Puyer and
miller informs the Union that there is
but little wheat in this county and esti
mates that this side Of Snake river there
is hot more than 20,000 bushels of wheat
and also, that he had -never seen wheat
cleaned up so close, in fact it is the first
year that such a thing ' has happened.
Unfortunately the farming population cf

the benefit of the rise, having sold out
earlier in the season.-xWaZJa Walla

" Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever coidf we win ten
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in nature's way,
that as a punishment for some indiscre
tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. - The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose, in severe cases
there is 'a thin white " coating on '.. the
tongue. What to do? It is bnlv necessarv
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it;
and cute what would have been a severe
cdid within, one or two davs time. Try it
and be convinced.'" Fifty cent bottles for
