Localizer: The sur-eying of the poblio lands in this state continne to be kept back without any good reason for it. It should be borne in mind that the state is entitled to several thousand acres of land for ata e usee, and the longer the land in the state remains nneurveyed the less the chances there will be to obtain the qoott that of right belongs to the state. - The selections cannot be made until the land is surveyed. Squatters s:e all the time appropriating these lands and soon all tbe best will be taken, and if the state gets her portion it will be Hobson's choice, in the mountains of necessity, otherwise the gift will be lost entirely. , ,' Deputy United States Marshal Stnnott returned yesterday from a two weeks' j tont through Malheur, Harney and other coun ties, during which be bas traveled some 700 miles, aays the Portland Oregonian of the 21at inat .

East Oreaonian: W. S. El lott is np fioin Umatilla after medical attendance, hrvicg met with a rather enrious accident Monday. Ue was riding in the yard in the cab of an engine, when the water glass broke. There were 160 pounds pressure, and the explosion was terrific, filling the cab with ste m and hot water., Tbe force was such that a piece of broken glass com pletely peoetiated the calf of Mr Elliott's leg. inflicting a painful wound. He will be 'laid on tbe shell" for a week or more. Salem Statesman: The friends of Frederick Zorn, the Pendleton wife-mo derer, have aent a lengtlv petition to tbe governor urg ing that Z urn's death senteoce be commuted to life imprisonment Zorn it will be re membered, is sentenced to be banged on August 12ci. He eh t his wife wbo died. Then he shot an old woman, but the shot was not fatal. And then he fired a ball into hia mouth. But the shot failed to reach a yital spot and tho fellow survived only to receive the death sentence. It is not probable the governor will make any interference. Charles Herman, the half breed Iodian, who was arrested here a few days ago fur e ling liquors to Iudians, and was sent to Portland to be tried for the crime, com mitted suicide yesterday afternoon in the Multnomah county jail, the act tor which be was arrested proved more serious than at first apprehended, for the whisky sold by him was poisoned and caused the death of three Indian on the Warm Springs reser vation. He pleuded guilty to the first crime; but it appeared very likely that the U. 9. grand jury would hold him for murder for furnishing tbe poisoned liquor. Herman was a morphine fiend, and Ins daily allow aoce in jail waa not as large an amount as that to which he was accustomed. This, together with the crime ot murder, perhaps caused an aberration of mind, and made hini tear a piece out of bis blanket aud hang himself to the cell window. Chief Oanapo in Salem, Beppner Gazette. Chiet Canapo, of the Columbia Indians at Yakima, and his interpreter, Charley Ike, of the Warm Springa Indiana, a bright youDg fell iw, who can speak extraordinari ly good English, were in Stlein last week to see the "head man" of the state, who hap pens to be Governor Pen' over, but as be was id Portland they had a long conference with Attorney General Chamberlain bout their grievances, which are the result of what tbey claim is tne unjust imprisonment of two young Indiana in the penitentiary for maliciously killing sheep id Grant coun ty. At the trial three Indians were con victed and sentene d from Grant county to serve terms of aix months each in the state prison. About tbiee months ago they were taken to Salem and turned over to Superior tendent JJowo og, rut later one of them was released on account of being almost at death's door with coosnmntion. The two remaining Albert Cuentck and Seotchit are nephew and .stepson of Chief Canapo The chief exul med at some length that "Ma two I oys were convicted merely on oircurnstantial evidence. The sheep were found dead and near them were seen t'acks and from that all of the evidence was taken to fast n the crime upon them However, thiA ato y is quite different from the Gcaut county side oi' the affiir. yet oo story is of so little importance but' tbat there are two sides to it. 1 Important Circular.

To the Hon., - the Mayor and Common Council of Dalles City, Oregon. Gestlemks The undersigned respect fully represents that he is a resident of Dalles City, out ot jail and a tax-payer thereof, nnder protest. That your petitioner resides npon tbe bluff in said city, tbe headquarters ot' tbe cham pion hose team and of the festive bovine, as neteinaiter siaiea. xaat ine tune was, not Certain baking powder makers are publishing, falsified extracts from the Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists and others. As to whether any of these baking powders are equal to the "Royal," the official tests clearly deter mine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 per cent, more leavening strength than any other 'cream of tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome. . As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by th.e use of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third, besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit,' and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable advan tages not to be had in the use of the low-grade, cheaply made baking pow ders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities. ling ago, when the inexpressible ponnd master was auroaa in tne city, and peace ana narmony reigned supreme in the bail wick of yours truly.

A oUFFEBEB. ' Terrific Fire at Fossil. ' Conaon Globe. Monday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, the large livery atabla belonging to Charles Mc- Kenzie at Fossil canght fire, presumably from a cigar stump, and within a few sec onds the enormous structure was a seething mass of roaring flames. Eyerything "was as dry as powder, and it was only a second nn til tbe fltmes spread to Elmer Barnaid'a sa loon, nnder tbe same roof, tti6uce east across the street to Anderson's salcon, thence to the old Coats blacksmith shop thence to tbe Hoaford building, occopied by Mrs. F. M. Jndd. By almost supe human efforts the large merchandise store of W. W.tSteiwer & Co, just north across the street, was saved by spreading wet blankets all over the roof, it being protected also by a row ot large poplar trees. P. Pottertoo'a large furniture establishment was saved also by wet blankets. - Had Steiwer ft Cj's store canght fire there ia no doubt the entire town won d have fal en a victim to the hell ifh fiend. Tbe scorched boards of that aod Pottertoo'a building are evide ce of the nar rowness of their escape. Several dwelling houses had th - paint roasted out ot them also, those of J. H Putnam and Mr. Ca -penter, aod were saved only by the most determined efforts. The livery stable was the most valuable building destroyed, and we are informed that the building vi not insured. One horse, belooging to Charley Branson, who bad the stable rented, perished in tbe fUmi-s He also lost a lot of bay, harness, etc., and the kind-hearted citizens at once raised about $100 for him. We have not learned if aoy of the other buildings were ins. red or not. The loss is about $5000. The burnt die trict lies in the east edge of tbe town, and as tbe wind waa blowing furiously from the west at the time, bad tbe fire originated anywhere in the west end ot tbe town, noth ing but ashes would now be left to mark the beauttlul townsite ot iosail. The Chicago lire. It is quite remarkable bow of late years the public fancy bas turned towards pic tares; within the last decade, newspaper after oewspaper has been compelled to illus trate their publications' daily. Tbere ia wide-spread desire to see. A book without illustrations is like roast turkey without the "fixings" rather uninviting and not alto gether palatable For years back the great artists have turned their attention to the it' lustratinz of history, and they have done more to give ueeple an idea ot how xrett battles were fought than aoy description o them could have ever doue. The last erea effort to pictoriallv represent any histori al event is the Uyclorama ot the burning ol Cntcago. This is said to be by far the most diiheult subject ever attempted, and it wa thought by inaoy to be impossible to faith fully portray. - If one may judge from the glowing accounts given of this arnt scene by the Unicago press, it must be the tnos remarkable production in the realm of art Tbe effc-cta produced are startlingly realistic and faithf ally show the situation iu Uhtcago when the (treat fire was at its height. This uuiaua aod remarkable exhibition is attract ing a great deaV of attention in tbe world's fair city. It is boused in elegant quarters on Michigan Avenue, hetvr en Madison ana Monroe, aud will remain in Chicago until after the world s fair. " State Agricultural College. Tne agricultural college ot, Uregoo is located at Corvallis, and bas four courses of study ad nineteen instructors. Ol late years tbis institution bas been verj much improved, aod furnishes a means of scientific and literary education, to- getber with practical instruction in the mechanical arts, that cannot be obtained elsewhere.. Tbe total annual ct in cluding board and lodging, tnitioc, uni form, and books, fuel, ltgbt washing, etc will amount to f 145, and this places the means of acquiring an educa:inn within the reach of almost every iudus trions man or woman. With these ad vantages the college at Corvallis should be liberally patronized, aod it is rapidly becoming a popular institution in the state. Speoial Council Meeting. The common council met last; (Thursday) evening pursuant to the call of the mayor. Present, a lull council. ;, The mayor stated that he balled tbe meet- ing for tne purpose of presenting the matter pf reconsideration of the action of the night previously in ordeVing tbe engine to be kept without steam, and also considering tbe resignation of the chief engineer. On motion it was ordered tbat the engine be kept with steam uutil the next meetiog, aud that the question of keeping thecngine busines at the next convocation: also (hat invitations be extended to the chief and as sistant engineers and citigena generally to per ct. differenceo ROYAL BAKING POWDER Strongest, Purest, Most Economical. b present and express their opinions on tbe sno) ct. resignation ot tjhiet Engineer run was read and on motion accepted.

Can you ask more t From an exchange we learn tbat 'he resi dence of Mrs. A. V. Maxon on the Klicki tat bottom, on the Camas Prairie road, was destroyed by fire July 29th, together with considerable fence, outbuildings, etc. The fruit trees and garden were also ruined. But little was saved. The wind was blow ing a gale, and from the time the fire broke out but a few minutes elapsed until the rain was complete. Mrs. Maxen succeeded in getting the littlo children out of the burning building. Kogers, a young man working on tbe farm, carried out a part of the things below stairs, but the furniture, bedding ana clothing in the upper story, burned with, tbe building. The -loss wa about $1500, insurance $800. The tire oc curred at 2 o'clock in the morning, and it was likely caused from fires in the adjaeeot forests; probably fire brands were carried by the wind.. . Eleetrie Bittera.
