IHLCAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON CAN STEP CHILD BE CITIZEN BY NATURALIZATION : There may be persons in Ma rlon county and other parts of Oregon who will be Interested in the Bltuatitm here presented. John Smith came to the United States as a child a few years old. . His father died in a short time, never having been naturalized. His mother married in a few years and while John Smith was still quite young his step father became a naturalized citizen. I'i John, now a man grown, a citi zen? The proofs at the abovo facts are complete and in his pos session, so there is only the le gal conclusion to be reached. A Salem citizen asked advice from a Unittd States official on the matter and has received the following:: "The bureau of naturalization for administrative purposes holds that step children do not become citizens by virtue of the naturali zation of the step father, and ad- ? vises all such persons to apply for and procure citizenship in their own personal right. Therejs ttt affirmative statement in the law conferring cmzensnip upon h ' step child by virtue of the natur alization f the step father. There are numerous court decis ions "which are conflicting, some courts having derided that the step child is naturalized by vlr ture of its step father's naturali zation, while others take the con trary view, and as the matter has never reached the supreme court of the United States, it still re mains a moot question. I do not know of any decision of any of the Oregon courts touching the matter, so that It is virtually im possible to say Just what the status qf the step child is until such time as we get a final ad judication of the matter." Under the naturalization laws the citizenship conferred upon the man made bis wife also a citizen and section 4367 of the U. S. statutes, included in the new law on that subject says: "The children of persons who have been duly naturalized un der any law of the United States, or who, previous to the passing of any law on the subject, by the government of the United States, may have become citizens of any one of the states, under the laws thereof, being under the age of twenty one years at the time of the naturalization of their par ents, shall. If dwelling in the United States, be considered as citizens thereof." Inasmuch as John Smith's mother became a citizen while John was a minor the average layman would conclude that the intent of the law is to recognize him as a citizen upon reaching his majority. There is enough of uncertainty about the matter, however, to cause John to look into it further. SIX CENT DYM1TE discovered; is claim Seattle, Wash., Dec. 18.

Farrar, postmaster, igain urges every one to hurry up with mailing. And again the old .njunction is given not to enclose letters in packages, and to tie packages instead of sealing them.

Nor may one mail tinsel cards, unless enclosed in an envelope. In mailing packages to eastern points, Mr. Farrar gays one should remember that in the Christmas rush there is likely to be a delay of a day or more. It is already too late to mail -packages to stateB on the Atlantic coast and expect them to arrive before Christmas. Monday, December 18, is the last day for mailing Christmas presenU to arrive before Decem ber 25 to the following states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas.
