Cosilla, the man who surrendered

On Thursday and Friday evenings of

sor Cordley and Hedrick, of the agricul
tural college, will address the fruit
growers and those interested in fruit
growing on horticultural eubjects, fruit
pests, etc. We will give the program
full before that time. The subject is of
vast importance, and fruit-growers es
pecially will do well to attend these
meetinge. Wasco is destined to be the
banner fruit county of the state, and the
knowledge that can be gained from
these gentlemen will prove of inestima
ble benefit. Do not fail to attend tnese
meetings. .
New Woman at Eugene.
Eugene is setting the pace in the mat
ter of women taking a hand in politics,
and has perfected an organization for
that purpose. Woman suffrage will be
the principal object aimed at, but the
ladies will take a hand in the coming
city election, 'just to measure tneir
power and test their capabilities. Their
first attempt will be to elect city officers
who will prevent the sale of intoxicat
ing liquore. If they are successful, the
organization is likely to take an epi
demic form and become highly con
tagious. The city election takes place
next month, and the result will be
watched with more than usual interest.

THE TIRELESS SMALL-BOY
Tried His Genlno at Improving l'oster
Work.
The tireless aud ever-present small
boy is a source of perpetual wonder.
What he has done is naught to what he
will do. For bim there is always some
thing new under the sun, and novelties
in abundance in the shade. Genera
tions of email-boys have come and gone,
each finding some new specteB of mis
chief, some improvement over the back
number small-boy who preceded them.
Of recent years the improvement in
posterB and lithographs, and their
abundance in windows and on walls has
furnished new opportunities for the dis
play of the small-boys' skill. We no
ticed an example of thiB irrepressible
genius this morning on a building near
the Umatilla House. A patent medi
cine advertisement shows an enlarged
picture of a little girl's face, and one of
these was posted on the wall mentioned,
over some other advertisement, the pre
vailing color of which was a bright car
mine. How the small-boy discovered
that fact we do not pretend to say ; but
he utilized it to show his genius. With
his ever-handy jack-knife he had cut out
the eyes of the picture, leaving the
bright red of the under poster showing
through the vacant Eockets. The com
bination certainly made the most horri
ble picture we ever looked at, und is a
monument to the genius of the young
eter, who saw and utilized the combina
tion. One glance at his work will start
the shivers on you, and the second make
you turn away in horror.
Concerning Forfeited Lands.
An act to amend an act entitled "An
act to forfeit certain lands heretofore
granted for the purpose of aiding in the
construction of railroads, and for other
purposes," approved September 29th,
1890, and the several acts amendatory
thereof.
Be it enacted by the Senate and the House
of Representative! of the United States
of America in Congress assembled:
That section thiee of an act entitled
"An act to forfeit certain lands hereto
fore granted for the purpose of aiding in
the construction of railroads, and for
other purposes,", approved September
29, 1890, and the several acts amenda
tory thereof, be, and the same is,
amended eo as to extend the time within
which persona entitled to purchase
lanps forfeited by said act shall be per
mitted to purchase the same, in the
quantities and upon the terms provided
in said section and the amendments
thereto at any time prior to January 1,
1899:
Provided, That nothing herein con
tained shall be so construed as to inter
fere with any adverse claim that may
have attached to the lands or any part
thereof.
Approved February 18,. 1897.
From the above it ia deduced that the
forfeited lande, withheld from settle
ment by order of the Secretary of the
interior, pending the passage of the
above act, are now subject to homestead
entry. The entryman would perhaps be

compelled to make an affidavit showing
that the lands were not claimed in any
wav under the forfeiture act. "No in
structions have been received by the
local land office upon the subject, but we
believe the above course will bo pur

cations. .
A Narrow Escape.
Last Saturday night about 7 o'clock,
the attention of many of our citizens
was attracted to a light in tho moun
tains, apparently to the west of Mt.
Hood. It was supposed at the time to
be the camp fire of some trappers, as
the night was cold and a hot fire neces
sary to keep from freezing. The follow
ing day, however, word was brought to
town that Ed. Snyder's residence, in the
vicinity indicated by the light seen re
flected by the hovering clouds had been
totally destroyed" by fire, with all its
contents.
Tho fire originated by the explosion of
a coal oil lamp. Though none of the
family escaped with more than barely
enough clothing to coi-er their naked
ness, Mr. Snyder and wife consider
themselves fortunate that they saved
themselves and two children from hor
rible deaths. The children were in the
room where the lamp exploded, Bnd
their clothing was soon on fire. The
mother heard, the screams of her little
oneB and hurried to their rescue, seizing
them and rushing out of doors. By this
time the father was at hand and finding
the mother, as well as the children, all
ablaze, ho threw them to the around
and rolled them in the snow, thus ex
tinguishing the flames before either of
them waa seriously burned. The little
boy baby had possibly the most narrow
escape, aB the hair was almost entirely
burned from his head.
While it was almost a miraculous es
cape, this is a great misfortune to Mr.
and Mrs. Snyder, for they did not save
a single article of clothing or bedding
except the few pieces they had on their
backs, having to go nearly a mile to their
neighbors, barefooted and bareheaded,
Mrs. Snyder being at the same time
quite ill with inflammation of the
lungs.
In thia connection Mr. Snyder wishes
ub to thank the people ot Dufur in his
behalf for their generous assistance in
his time of need. Dufur Dispatch.
