Fourteen women with paint brash and bucket in hand re cently lined up iD front of the parsonage fence at Gresham, arjd in four hours they put on a new coat of white paint, doing the work in a very satisfactory man ner. The ladies were members of the aid society and there was no money in the treasury to hire the work done with. It is said that the men of Gresham were very willing to let the women do the work. Many homesteads have been canceled lately in Eastern Oregon. In the vicinity of Ukiah, seven in a body were thrown out at one swoop. "Coder present conditions, the homestead law is a difficult problem, not only for the govern ment to maintain, but for the actual settler to comply with. The day when a man could go out and file upon a good farm has passed away long since, and today it is almost impossible to comply with the real intent of a law that was passed to contend with conditions that are not here. Continuous residence and making a living up on latter day homesteads are two important questions that abso lutely refuse to harmonize. The law says that the settler shall do one, the other, the settler must do. Thi department wonders why a man would want a claim that he could not go out and make a liv ing on. While there is some logic in this, still it is true that these claims represent value that would bo a great help to many a poor man the class of people that the government wants to help. The law needs to be modified. The question is one that should be made a special study of by our Western representatives. Oliver Pierion Suicides, Oliver Pierson, a pioneer of Morrow county, was found dead in the watercloset back of the Hotel lone at about 5 o'clock WedneS' day evening.

Mr. Pierson was an old-time aet tlei and favorably known citizen of Morrow county, haying lived here some 25 years. He sold his ranch in the Eight-Mile country several years ago and has been in Sweden, his native country, until his return a few weeks ago.
