The Eastern Oregon delegation
in the legislature should memorialize'
congress to pass a bill providing for
the re-payment of $1.25 per acre to
those persons who purchased the
even sections of land within the for
feited railroad limits of the Northern
Pacific, who paid 2.50 per acre for
the laud.
In this connection it might be
proper to mention the fact that about
nine years ago D. P. Thompson se
cured puwers-of-attornoy from many
of these people, authorizing him to
collect excess money of 1.25 per
acre. At the time it was understood
Mr. Thompson was to go to "Wash
ington and pass the bill granting re
payment. This he did not do. The
question has boon asked us several
times as to what condition these
powers-of-attorney held by Thoinpi.
son would leave the settler in should
congress grant them relief. Mr.
Thompson, we think, is now out of
the matter, admitting that he was
ever in. He has done nothing, at
tempted nothing. Beside, these
contracts, if not void, were voidable,
and were never worth the paper they
were written on.
A contract to influence lesislation
would find little favor in the courts.
If the bill can be passed, those sign
ing the contracts need have no fear
that the3 will cut any figure in the
re-pa3'tnents.
"We have received a printed blank
petition, several of them in fact,
which we are asked to sign and for
ward to the Oregon delegation in
cougress. The petition is against
the passage of what is known as the
Loud bill, providing tor excluding a
certain class of publications from the
list of second class matter. The
matter proposed to be excluded is
second class all right, that is such of
it as is not third, fourth, or no. class
iit all, being of the Indian-killing,
moonshine detective sort of litera
ture that ought to be excluded from
the mails entirety. VTa cannot sign
the petition, but respectfully request
our delegation instead to give the!
bill the benefit of their votes. The
country is Hooded with a lot of rot-
ten slush, called by its authors litem-
ture, that should never be allowed te
pass outside of tlio doors of the
ofiices it was printed in, and the
Loud bill will assist in suppressing it.
The blamed scientists have been
turning their microscopes on the
towels used by the human family,
and pronounce them full of microbes,

Senator Thurston, who wns at one
time attorney for the Union Pacific
railroad, says he has not taken inter
est enough in the Pacific railroad
funding bill to know anything about
it. As it only involves n, matter of
$130,000,000, perhaps it is too small
an affair for Nebraska's senator. It
strikes ns it is time he began to in
form himself, as the matter is now
ho fore congress and seems to the
average citizen of this coast impor
tant enough to demand the attention
of every senator.
Congress would do well to pass an
act compelling assisted railroads to
take out patents for their lands, and
for all of them. As it is, the gov.
crnment gives the lands to the rail-
road companies, and the latter only
take out patents when they sell the
lands, thus escaping taxation. They
should either be compelled to own
the lands or forfeit them.
Max Pracht announces himself as
a candidate for the position of gov
ernor of Alaska. The Yukon now
has two mouths, one of which is sixty
J miles wide; but if Pracht gets up
j there, both of them will go out of
business.

VISITING TOILETTES.

Without Wrap.
Toilets for culling are. being built
Willi special reference to. outdoor wear
without a wrap, or, at best, for a loose
cloak or mantle, of fur, to be left in the
carriage or the hall, llodir.es of heavy,
warmly lined broadcloth arc popular,
with boleros or small ICtons of fur or
velvet. A tiny black velvet bolero is
trimmed down the fronts ami most odd
ly about its edge by a frill of thickly
plaited black ribbon which stands out
from the figure almost like a ruche
above a very tight and high eeinture
of moire. The bodice beneath is plain
to the point, of severity, with a military
choker, about which is tied a black rib
bon, with n short, square bow under the
chin. In the tortoise-blue broadcloth,
with black elvet bolero, overlaid with
tr.ti''i f cream lloniton and caraeulc
fur, black moire ribbon rullles, and
eeinture, the effect is stunning. Motifs
of fuv ami hv--e are used to trim il;
skirt in deep, square scallops, knee
deep, with plait ings of black ribbrui
N-neath. Whole blouses of glace-printed
velvet are very Ktvnehx , with thick
ruehes of fur about the throat, and
perhaps fur sleeves and a yoke of fur
on the. broadcloth skiit. latches of
fur seem a bit improbable, but de
signers are capable of making a fab
ric serve every purpte, however for
eign to its popular i.-.e. They are usually
made of earacule. Ihat thin, espensive
and very fashions ile fur. that is so
adaptable. Uulllcs of this fur nreal.-o
stylish. The, are. rather, circular
llounees in different widths, sometimes
as an edge to a very short bolero, some
times encircling n skirt about hem and
knees and still higher about the back
breadths only, giving that smart, bouf
fant eft'eet to the tournure. Choix of
-able, of .seal, of I'ersitih lamb are worn,
an well as of eara"ule. They are
formed by two loops of four and two
sharply-pointed ends thrust throiif'h a
buckle under the chin, to fasten a boa
or collar reaching far below the waist
and edged with sable tail?.
Northing is so trig and appiopihue
