The committee owe it to themselves TuiViliiah pnch a statement and in all likelihood will in due time, but "Jus tice" knows he lies deliberately and with malicious purpose when he talks of hearing of only two persons obtaining relief. The coward dare not present such a statement for publication to an newspaper in this city. It's gross and "malicious falsitv would make him ashamed to do so. He has sent it to Portland that under the cover of a nom 1 de-plume he might conceal a name he would not dare to own where the facts are known. But the animus of the communication is perfectly apparent. The writer is some low hound who 'got all he could out of the committee and "' then because he could not get all he wanted he takes this revenge. While ' the committee may not have always acted with the best judgment.'.and pos sibly do not make pretensions that they did, they performed a great deal of hard, ' thankless work and we have no doubt afforded relief in every instance where they thought it was needed. Th Progress of Volmpuk. It is a rery interesting fact that the world language, Volapuk, is not only coming to be spoken conversationally by its enthusiastic votanes, but ta to be made medium of interlingual commu nication at the VTorlil s Columbian fair. Acamtilete record of proafress made in Spreading Volapnk since, that delightful national convention or. wsj votaries was held in Boston', considerably more than a year ago, would astonish all but the few who keep closest watch on the move ment. A significant circumstance is that recently the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the People's church, Boston, formally adopted Vola puk Tas'aTstudy 'orthat organizationy and a class of forty members (expected to doable shortly) Was formed, to meet each-. Monday- evening in the church a reading room for instruction. . r 'i Other noteworthy instance are as fol lows: The -people of Newton, quite at their own request, are to have a lecture tra 'Voiapua nnaer sne auspices -oi a ladies' association there.1 , 'Salem and Gloucester are to have lectures in Janu ary, and the interest all over - the coun try is similarly manifested. ,. Newspaper lessons,,. published... simultaneously all over the 'maritime provinces,, "Canada and the United States, have been -given weekly since ' Oct.' . 10.'" The Students write out the exercises of the lessons and send them to convenient points, as desig nated, for annotation, -and immense numbers of young and old of both sexes are following the lessons.

London Tit- Bits. Multnomah county ; has added two mills to its tax levy, which will raise a . , fund of $50,000 to be devoted to the im . provement of its 'public roads. The . county court has gone still farther and . ' has secured by right of purchase '-several L' rock quarries and gravel beds and two -stone crushers, and with these equip ! ments und material it is expected that the money spent upon the county reads will not entirely disappear in the winter - mud. The two (hills added to the tax levy of thls"county will not do much, it is ttui, relatively, where so much is needed to be done, but the sum that 'will accrue, if judiciously expended, as '' we trust it shall be, will afford immense relief to some sections and the precedent Once established of making special pro vision for county roads in the annual tax levy will not be' hastily abandoned bj county courts in the future. Ares of the Canadian Dominion. In the last - issue of the Statisti cal Year Book of Canada, com piled by Mr, Sydney C. D. - Roper of the statistics 'branch of the de partment of agriculture, we find that the total area of the dominion is com puted to-be 8,436,383 square miles. In this estimate 140,736 square miles are assigned to water and 8,315,647 to land surface. The table which yields this total is said to be an entirely new one having been' specially "prepared at the request of the compiler of the Year Book by the Topographical Survey branch of the department of the in terior. "The measures have all," we are told, been made anew, and checked, - and may be depended . on, in so far as war ranted .by the present geographical knowledge of the country. No change Will be inade in these figures unless based upon new information;" "As this is a question on which there has been good deal of discussion and much differ ence of opinion-,- it is satisfactory to receive this assurance from what, we may regard as the highest official and professional authority.

" ' Clatsop and' ' Jackson counties, like Wasco and Multnomah,' have ' ignored the findings of the state board of equal ization, and made their county levies on the basis of the county equalization boards' figures. Twenty-five . lumber . manufacturers mostly from the-south, have issued call for a convention at Washington, D. C, on February. 23 N to protest against free lumber.

Game Warden Taylor came in recently from- the 'lower country, where .he has been kept busy driving the Indians out of that section. Mr. Taylor reports that the Utes have been playing sad havoc with the game, slaughtering wherever they could. He was very indignant over it, and from his version of the mat ter he has good reason to be. He states that from the Iron springs divide to Yel low creek it is impossible to travel a hundred 'yards without finding the bod ies of deer lying around, and inmost cases nothing but the hides and. brains have been taken, the brains being used by the Indians in the process of tanning. On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park sections the rotting carcasses 'can be seen while on "Snake river they are so thick as to absolutely poison the air. . Warden .-Taylor estimates that since the deer began to travel down the Utes have killed between 5,000 and 6,000 of them, . and " what makes matters worse the major portion of them are does and rawnB, tne duces always remaining in I a the upper country till later inthe falL I jfJ The democratic members of both houses of congress will not strengthen their party in Oregon and Washington by opposing Senatos Dolph's bill for the refunding to the settlers on even-numbered sections of land ; within the limits of the grant" to the Northern Pacific which was declared forfeited, the differ ence between the price paid of $2.50 an acre and $1.25, which' is the difference between lands within and without rail road grants. : Every democrat on the senate - comru ttee is said to be opposed to the bill- and-will fight it to the bitter end.; If it pass the republican senate it will be killed m the house. ;1 his may be a sample of democratic economy, but ft is a piece' of 'flagrant injustice to the 1 first'-set tlerr5-who-- bad to pay $2.50 an acre-while thejiater: laawre-allowed to secure. the taiids lyirig- alongside at half that price. . -'- ' .. -. ."- ' .
