HEPORT ON ALLIEN AND OWNER
SUIP. The bill before congress to prohibit
aliens from holding land in this coun-
try, noticed some days ago, has been
followed up by an elaborate report
from' Mr. Oates of Alabama, one of
the members of the house judiciary
committee. Some of the statement
are of special interest. The commit
tee ascertained that certatn noblemen
in Europe, principally Englishmen,
had acquired and now own in the
United States about twenty two mil
lion acres of land. The land held by
untitled aliens probably amounts to as
much more. As the S. F. Btdletin
well puts it, this non-resident owner
ship is leading to a system of land
lordism incompatible with the interests
of free institutions in the United
' States. The foundation of this alien
system is laid in the western states
' and territories. It could not be laid
anywhere elso, because it would be
impossible to consolidate such large
holdings of cheap land- in a few hands.
' The bill does not propose to confiscate
' or annul any titles which have been
acquired by aliens, bu? it proposes to
create a disability on the part of alien
for acquiring large areas in the future.
The report points out that European
capitalists hare invested sums ir
American railroad and land bondr
covering perhaps 100,000,000 acres
and that the greater part under fore
closure sales will, in a few years, be
come the property of these foreign
bond-holders. Foreign capital hai
been employed to fence up thousands
. of miles of the public domain for tht
grazing of vast herds of cattle, to the
exclusion of the rights of meritorious
- settlers. The bill contains a provisicr
which compels foreign land-holder
to cease to .be such or to becomt
American citizens within ten years.
The report affirms that the bill would
correct such abuses as "that of a Mr.
Scully, who lives in England and is a
subject of the Queen; but owns 90,000
acres in Illinois, occupied by tenants,
mostly ignorant foreigners, from whon
; he receives as rent $200,000 yearij
- and . expends it in Europe. Thi
Scbeuley estate of about 2000 acres,
within the cities limits of Pittsburg
and Allegheny, from the rents ot
. which the Scheuleys, who are subjects
of the Queen, draw annually not le
than $100,000, is another instance oi
' ' alien landlordism in America. The
tenth census shows that the Uniteo
' States has 570,000 tenant farmers,
the largest number possessed by an
: nation in the world." It is probablt
, that the eleventh census will show s
' muchlarger number of tenant farmen
than existed ten years ago. It wil

there has been the largest area of lane
concentrated in the hands of non-resi
dent aliens ever known in the histor)
of the country. It will not escap
notice that at the same time immenst
tracts have been acquired by Ameri
cans. - But these are citizens who dc
: not propagate the worst evils of non-
. resident landlordism. They put theii
land on the market whenever they cai
get a reasonable advance on the firsi
cost. In this way it is segregated intc
homesteads. ' The number Of citizen

alien landlord is proud of his holding.

revenue He boasts at home of hit
'.. large dominion, and is not disposed to
furnish any encouragement to settlers
- who are citizens of the country. But,
; as a general rule,' the American land
owner has some pride of citizenship.
The country is gcod enough for him to
live in, it. He encourages improve
ment j, likes to help along settlements
; and raising towns. The greater pari
of all the areas now held by Anier-
. leans in the northwest are accessible
to settlers on some terms if the land is
lit for cultivation. Whenever a col
ony is seeking a large tract for settle-
. ment it is sure to have acy number of
offers on advantageous terms. But
these offers rarely, if ever, are made
by alien 'landlords. The one system
encourages the segregation of land and
the ' acquirement of homesteais, and
the other does not.
house against combined New England
and New York, which have always
been opposed to liberal appropriations.
All Eastern Oregon is interested in
the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific
land grant, and the Inland Em
pire has the greatest concern in a boat
rail way between this city and Celilo
to overcome the obstructions to navi
gation in tlis Columbia. These bills
should not bo allowed to slumber dur
ing the hole session. Ther should
be the same attention paid to them
after the election as before, if Mr.
Herman is interested in the welfare of
his constituents. It is very important
that mail routes should be established
between isolated points and we give
our congressman great credit for ac
tivity in these matters; but it is of
vital importance that settlers should
procure titlt to the lands on which
they have made their homes, and that
the Gjlumbia river should be the great
artery of commerce for the producers
of the northwest.
COLD FACTS.
The Sunday Welcome, of Portland,
speaks very truthfully when it says:
The Dalles does not appear to be
enjoying the full share of prosperity
that its citizens think the place is en
titled to. The real trouble with The
Dalles is the lack of self-dependence.
It has relied too much upon the favor
of a railroad company to make the
town a growing and prosperous place,
and if tome of its leading residents
would divest themselves of mossback
muted into the family of nations.
The day has been celebrated ever since
with becoming ceremonies, and every
generation has bad rehearsed to them
the story of the Revolutionaiy strug
gle, with its examples of bravery and
patriotism, of suffering and of sacri
fice. Republican government is no
longer an experiment, and every
American can point with pride to
the many ordeals through which the
country has passed to its present stable
ideas and go to work to build up their position as a free government. The aim

on the Columbia river is a move in I Darent to the most casual ob
the right direction toward making The
Dalles a more important place than at
present. There is no use waiting for
the completion of the locks or the
building of a portage railway. Get in
and rustle for yourselves and don't
wait for the government to improve
the river. If you do, it will not be in
this generation, or the next that The
Dalles will see the prosperity it de
serves. The importance of The Dalles as a

Ruch. Bids are now being advertised
tor the pumping system, as not only
die most available: but the single sys
tem which can be inaugurated for the
imount ot funds which we have re
ceived on the sale of the water bonds,
and there is the most urgent necessity
that the work should be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
Furthermore, if we pay an exorbitant
price for the old property, we purchase
n insufficient supply, an old plant and
his subject to a lease of seven years
of a local corporation. If we were to

families this ..vile slush for years to

The Dalles absolutely needs a new
facts cannot be de
nied, and the truth of the whole mat
ter is summed up in the terse language
of the Welcome, that if our citizens
had self-dependence our future may
be all we desire. For many years we
have depended upon corporations
whose interests were elsewhere, and,
in consequence, while other towns,
ith not nearly the resources, have
been prosperous and progressive, The
Dalles has simply held its own. But
a new epoch has begun in our history.
Hereafter this city will be completely
divorced from the railroad company,
and we must either stand independ
ently or fall by reason of the lack of
individual strength. We must look
these facts squarely in the face, and
make Borne preparation for the emer
gency. During the last month the
city has lost over 150 consumers, who
monthly sent in-, circulation from

verified by the use of the regular boat
to make the transfer from the burned
bridge. Snow blockades in winter,
land-slides in spring and burned
bridges in summer will always make

the traffic of the Colombia river. If
the people of The Dalles owned a com
peting line they could lessen the price
of freight, and have the transportation
directly under control. The Colum

this city an important shipping point,

If the commission are in harmony

the council will pursue the course it

there will he a constant wrangle.
bad families and pleasant homes in
The Dalles, but have now gone else
where. Something muse be done to
supply this deficiency, or else we' shall
find business on the down-grade, with
no chance to hold the brakes. A
woolen factory of itself would employ
nearly as many men as the O. K. & N.
Co. shops did, and, by reason of
its gain to the producer and cur
tailing the constant stream of money
sent out of the county for goods, would
be doubly beneficial to the community.

If The Dalles does not push to an
early completion the system of water
works adopted by the council it is
doubtful if any other plan will ever be
adopted. As usual, there will be dilly
dallying, and the outcome will be that
this city will either pay a fabulous
price for the old property and thereby
cripple herself for any new project; or
else the time will be frittered away by
useless experiments, until the $6000
a year interest have practically bank
rupted the municipality. We hope
the pumping system will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible, and
that it will not share the fate of other
schemes which have sprung into life in

The Art of Past Walking.
Walter Shy-law in Harper's Weekly. '
Persons who have never been trained to
walk fast generally quicken their gait by
bending forward and lengthening tbe
stride, at the same time bendiogthe knees
very much at each step. It is ptetty safe
to say tbat no one can possibly adopt
this style and keep a fair walk at a faster
gait than six miles an hour. . Tbe fast
walker must keep himself erect, bis
shoulders back, and cbest thrown out.
He must put down his forward foot and
heel first, and with the leg sTainbt. He I
must take strides so quick tbat they look
short. lie must, if be expects to get a
good stride, work bis hips considerably,
oveicoming the aidewise tendency of tbe
bip movement by a compensatory swing
ing of the arms. Tbe length of stride in
fast walking is astonishing to those who
look at it. A little figuring will make it
cl-ar why this is so. - There are 1,700
yards in a mile, or 1,760 strides three feet
long. To do a mile in eight minuted a
walker must cover 230 yards a minute,
or eleven feet a second. Now 220 steps a j
minute nearlv four a second is pretty
quick work, as any one may discover for
himself. Even three steps a second, or
180 to the minute, seems quick. Tbe
chances are tbat your eight -minute man,
although bis legs move so quickly tbat
the steps seem abort, is not doiog as many

It is intended tbat th6 southern
states shall send Republicans to con
