United States Land Office, )
The Dalles, Or., May 3, !93.f
The following extract from letter "A"
March 30th, 1893, from the honorable
commissioner of the general land office,
approved by the honorable secretary of
the interior, will be of interest to parties
seeking to make proof on timber-culture
entries :
1. "That trees, seeds, or cuttings were
good faith planted according to the
equirements of the timber-culture laws
s amended by the first section of the
act of March 3d, 1891, before men
tioned." 2. ''That the trees, seeds or cuttings
so planted, and the land upon which
they were so planted were in good faith
cultivated for at least, eight years in
manner prescribed in the timber-culture
laws.'"
3. "That the claimant was qualified
to make entry under said laws."
4. "That he has an entry subsisting
thereunder."
5. "That the facts of the case are
such as to show the claimant's good
faith in his proceedings under the stat
utes."
By the above it will be seen that it is
not required that there shall be any liv
ing trees on the tract at time of making
proof. The applicant is simply required
to prove planting and cultivation for eight
years. John. W. Lewis, Register.

The Author of the Sun's "Reformer"
Either Ignorant or After a Scalp.
The Dalles, May 4th, 1893.
Editor Chronicle:
A correspondent of the Sun, who
signs himself "Reformer," wants to
know what has become of the Chronicle
correspondent who signed himself "An
other Citizen." He wants the latter "to
rise and show that "Citizen" was ignor
ant of what he is talking about or that
he uses the truth with "miserly frugal
ity." If "Reformer" had carefully read
"Citizen's" last production he would
have seen that no further explanation
was necessary. "Citizen" made the
statement that it cost the city "for the
superintendent" $1,500 a year. The
phrase "for the superintendent" was
confessedly obscure, but it was plainly
calculated whatever its intention might
have been to teach that this sum was
the amount paid for the services of the
superintendent. When "Citizen" ad
mitted, in his second communication,
that the superintendent's salary was
only $75 a month the only object that
the Chronicle correspondent had in
view, namely, truth and fair play, was
accomplished. It was idle to enter into
a war of words with a man who did not
seem to know the difference between a
water commissioner and the superin
tendent of the water works, or with one
who used the truth with such "miserly
frugality" as to charge that the "water
commissioner" handled nearly as much
money as the city treasurer who had to
give bonds, while the former was ex
empt, when everybody, with the possible
exception of the Sun's two correspond
ents, knows that no water commissioner
handles a dollar of the water funds, and
if it was intended to complain because
the superintendent did not give bonds,
the cause for such complaint has been
removed by a legislative amendment
that requires all future superintendents
to give bonds in the sum of $5,000. The
question of salaries is largely one of
opinion. I do not think any of them is
extravagant. If I thought otherwise I
should say so. On the other band I
think the salary of the superintendent,
against whom "Citizen" seems to have
a special grudge, is very moderate in
deed, and I make the prediction that
no water commission will reduce it for
many a day. "Reformer" would cut
down the recorder's salary to $50 a
month because "good lawyers" have
been heard to say that "any lawyer"
could afford to do the work for that sum.
It is however, a matter of common re
port that the lawyer who now holds the
office will not seek a re-election because
there is not enough in it for him at $100
a month. Be this as it may I am clearly
of opinion that a lawyer who would ac
cept a $50 a month recordership would
be some briefless incompetent that the
city might find dear at any price. I
write this simply as a citizen, having
the public welfare as much at heart as
"Reformer." I am not concerned, ex
cept as a taxpayer, directly or indirectly
in the salaries of city officials, but I de
test that particular species of "reform"
that wastes its energies in wailing over
the degeneracy of the times, in making
groundless insinuations of extravagance,
if not corruption, against public func
tionaries and in seeking to build itself
up by pulling everybody else down.
What does "Reformer" mean by asking
me to explain "how it came about that
such an amendment to the city charter
passed the legislature with reference
to the water commissioner?" I have
read the amendments and cannot for the
life of me, see anything wrong in them.
There is no provision relating to a
"water commissioner," but one provides
that after the next election, the super
intendent who shall be appointed shall
retain office for three years unless re
moved for cause, and shall give bonds
in the sum of $5,000. If "Reformer"
confounds the superintendent with a
water commissioner, as "Citizen" has
done before him, and refers to this pro
vision, he will have to explain himself
what is wrong in it for I cannot. If
"Reformer" knows of anything that is
wrong in the legislative amendments
or in the actions of the water commis
sioners, let him come out and tell it like
a man, and not rest in insinuations and
inundoes that can have no effect on the
intelligent reader but to lead him to
suspect that all this "reform" jangle is
but a covert political attack on some
city official whose scalp is wanted to
adorn the armor of "Citizen" and "Re
former." Another Citizen.

A Boy Again.
Readers of the Sun will be surprised
to note the wonderful change in the ap
pearance of John Wanamaker, a likeness
of which appeared in yesterday's issue.
They will also be pleased and gratified
to see that since coming to the coast he
has grown younger by about forty years,
and to give a sort of debonair tinge to
his boyish appearance he has roach ed
his hair up in front a la pompadour.
We know that John is entitled to put on
a few extras since he rose to a cabinet
officer from an office hoy, but we never
before supposed that his vanity would
lead him to advertise himself in the Sun
as a gay Lothario, with a cast of features
that is calculated to break a girl's heart
from very vexation that he is married
and beyond her reach'.
