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. A. K. Dufur Dead. Mr. A. K.

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. IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN THERE? If So, Yeu Are Richer the Amount Stated Which. Follows It. 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 enters heartily into the plan, and gives Pruning Shears, Pruning Knives, Budding" Knives, Pruning Saws, Tree Pruning Shears, Bean Pumps. Myers Pumps, Sulphur, Lime,Salt, Danne's Solid Sprays, AT space" today for the list. We suggest to those who discover that money is due them through publication in Tas Chronicle that they could do no better than paying for a year's subscription to this journal.
