Vu Important Decision Handed Down tw Judge Bellinger Last Week. In the United States circuit court for the District of Oregon' Judge Bellinger last Friday handed down a written opinion in the case of the United States against the Oregon fe California Railroad Company. The decision is in favor of the United States, or more properly, the settlers in whose interests the suit was brought. It is the most important case which has been decided during the term of United States District Attorney Hall, and as he acted as attorney for the United States and the settlers, and won on every point, he has reason for gratification. The case involved the homes of a large number of settlers on both sides of the river in the Willamette valley, who have been holding their breath for fear they would lose the result of the labor of a life time. When the Oregon & California Railroad obtained its right of way from Portland southward, it was given a grant of 20 miles of land on each side of the tract. Some of this land had been taken up by settlers already, and to offset this a further strip of 10 miles outside the grant was set aside by the Government from which the i ail road could select to the amount of lands within its grant for which patents had already been given by the Government. These 10-mile s!rips were unsurveyed, and settlers went in and squatted, building their homes in the mountains. When the land was surveyed and thrown .open for settlement about 15 years ago, the i ail road crowded forward, applied for patents to the lands on which the settlers had squatted, and were granted them. This looked as though the labors of a life time were about to be swept away, for some of the settlers had gone in as early as 1863. The suit was the result, and its outcome is most satisfactory to the settlers, of whom a large number are involved, from Portland to the southern part of the state.

Time, trouble and money saved by buying children's dresses, at Kline's, 49o and upwards. In the course of a life time there are many ups and downs, and in cidents, small feithiu themselves, occur to change our entire life. Some seventeen years ago one of our fellow citizens, while en route from the Fatherland to Corvallis, being at this time a mere young ster, was obliged to change cars at Chicago and a necersary delay fol lowed. In the course of the delay a shrewd rascal, up to "Yankee tricks," accosted the youth in his native tongue, thereby manag ing in short order' to work up an acquaintance and inspire more or less confidence. He took our friend under his charge presumably to guide him to restaurant for a meal, but, although the fellow proved good company, they did not seem to come to any place where hunger could be satisfied. Finally the con fidence man, for such he proved to be, told the German youth that he would have to hurry back to the depot in order not to miss his train. As they had missed lunching to gether he suggested that he put up a lunch for our friend. This was a capital idea and the proposition was accepted. When the lunch was to be paid for the price de manded by the confidence man was $7. It seemed an awful price, but our friend was hungry, and be sides, he had heard tales of Ameri can liberality long before he de parted his native soil, so the money was paid. On opening the lunch there was found to be one single loaf of bread nothing more. All of the balance of the way out to Corvallis our friend pondered the matter ajd concluded that there surely must be money in the At the Opera House, next Satur day evening, scenes frcm the fam ous "Passion Play," as presented every ten years in the little village of Oberammergau, Bulgaria, will be produced, with the aid of Edison's wonderful moving pictures.

The Savior's life, from the very moment the shepherds first saw the star ot .Bethlehem and heard the joyiul tidings of the birth of Christ, until the sublime finale when the Redeemer slowly ascended to heaven, are shown by a series of photographic tableaux. The scenes of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the raising of Lczarus from the dead, the last supper, the trial and condemnation, the awful journejr to Calvary, and finally the crucifixion ot the Messiah, are all given on the canvas. Ihe expres sions on the face3 of the actors in the great drama can be distinctly seen, and everything in the picture, the costumes, scenery, etc, are strictly accurate. The originator of the drama, irom which these views were taken, had twice been himself an actor in the play as given by the Bavarian peasants, and after com ing to this country spent $125,000 in securing costumes and scenery and necessary parahernalia for the production. The views are made"! more interesting by the lecture which is given at intervals during the play. From Weight of Years. The death of Johnson Odeneal oc curred at 7 :30 a. m. Saturday at the county poor farm. It was only a short time since his arrival at the farm, and ha had appeared well contented with the place, and his treatment, notwithstand ing his struggle against becoming an in mate of the poor house, and stated that had he known how well he would have been cared for he should have been there two years before.
