Many women have desired to see tho

. esilate to call on account of not being
ecqainted with the family. Mr. and
Mrs. Farley-invite all who are curious to
see the little one, and ladies especially,
!o call and see it. While it is true they
have the little one in charge, they do not
concede it belongs to them more than
anyone else, and will take pleasure in
showing it to all who wish to see it. It
sleeps a good deal, but its office hours
are tolerably regular for all that.
The U. S. government, department of
agriculture, recently mailed pamphlets
to every part of the country, protesting
against the killing of hawks. There are
but one or two species which are unde
sirable. Farmers and others Would find
it greatly to their benefit to never kill a
hawk. They may occasionally eat poul
try, but it is generally known, or ought
to be at least, that the quantity is so
small in comparison with the vast num
bers of destructive rodents, gophers and
insects, consumed, that it is scarcely
worth considering. The notion that a
hawk should be killed because it is a
hawk is erroneous. Spare them.

The pamphlets issued by The Dalles
Real Estate Exchange are already bring
ing inquiries from the East. It is a
little soon to expect benefit from immi
gration as yet, in fact not a quarter of
the books have yet been mailed. ' Then,
too, a year or two years does not meas
ure the good that will accrue from this
excellent description of our excellent
resources and climate. The influence of
the pamphlets has practically no end,
for even after the last one of the large
number, which is sent hither and thither
to all parts of the United States, is de
stroyed, those who are induced to come
and settle among us will have other rel
atives and friends, whoee prosperity
they will want to share.
Among the letters which have already
been written to our' real estate men is
the following, a fair sample of the class
of citizens who will be attracted by the
information afforded by the pamphlet:
St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 15, 1896.
T. A. Hudson, Esq., The Dalles, Or.:
Dear Sir : I have been favored by a
neighbor with the loan of a small
pamphlet, issued by tbe enterprising
members of the Real Estate Exchange of
your city. I have carefully read and re
read the contents of same, and have
about come to the conclusion that the
Pacific Noithwest, or "Western Empire
of America," is the land of promise
which all people seek and a very few
find. The glowing accounts of prosper
ity and worded paintings of health and
- - n ,.-n, l :
cast my future happiness among you.
But I am afraid that my premature
hopes and joys of seeing heavily-laden
fruit trees, which I now picture in my
mind's eye as being my own possessions,
shall be scattered to the winds, and the
trees with their golden possessions rent
asunder and beaten down to the ground
as by a cyclone or hail storm.
My dear sir, I would not be writing to
a stranger in these words were I in pos
session of a good share of tbe "gold of
the realm." I would then be able to go
forth and see to my own satisfaction
what I want, and as I have not money
to scatter to the winds, I must trust to
someone el Be to help me find a situation
in which I can do more good for the
betterment of myself and the world
ultimately than I can at present.
I would be greatly obliged to you if
you would send me some literature re
lating to your county or locality, also
give me some prices and terms on 'small
pieces of uncultivated land, and if yon
have any small farms with some im
provements on them, give me prices and
terms. Any information you send .will
be thankfully received, not by me alone,
but several others who are interested
with me in casting for a future location,
and "to the West" we intend to go.

County Clerk A. M. Kelsay has taken
the trouble to list the unclaimed county
warrants which have remained in that
office longer than a year, and which are
yet payable if they do not bear date
farther back than seven years. In that
case the law provides that they shall be
cancelled. The clerk believes that the
various amounts rightfully due the peo
ple should ba paid, but that they would
not discover the debt due them unless
the list is published. Th Cheonicxk
