WHARTON, Cashier POINTERS IOR HOMESTEADER Conditions on Which Forest Re- serve Lands nay Be Acquired. Much uncertainty exists among settlers and others desiring public lands a ta tha condition! unon which agn cultural lands may be acquired in forest reserves under tbe agricultural settle' ment bill recently passed by congress, Folio wine are points condensed by the Crook County Journal from 10 structions to forest supervisors : That the secretary of agriculture may use his discretion about examining and listing lands under tbe proposed law. Only lands chiefly valuable for agri culture will be classified under the bill. Land covered with a merchantable growth of timber will not be declared agricultural, except upon the strongest evidence of its value, both as to pro duction and accessibility to a market. Areas known to have been occupied by actual settlers prior to January 1, 1900, will be examined firBt, and when such areas are found chiefly valuable for aericulture they will be listed, in order that the occupants msy make entry under the act. Anv one who was a bona fide settler on land within a forest reserve before January 1, 1906, but who has already exercised or lost his homestead privi lege, may, if otherwise qualified, make homestead entry under the provisions of the proposed law, but must pay $2 50 per acre for any lands entered. All applications must give the name of the forest reserve and describe the land, examination of which is requested by legal subdivision, section, township and range, if surveyed, and if Dot sur veyed,, by reference to natural objects, streams or improvements with sufficient accuracy to identify tbe land. Steven. Electee! Sheriff. Portland, June 29. Today Circuit Judge Frazer declared Robert L. Stevens tbe duly elected sheriff ol Multnomah county. Next Monday the successful republican candidate will be sworn in without opposition. When the end came the result was so one sided that Word's senior attorney, Henry E. McGinn, announced that there would be no further contest. The recount added twenty votes to Stevens' lead of five, as computed by tbe official returns. Hid plurality at tbe end of the recount was therefore twenty five. If the margin had been only three or four. Word would undoubtedly have carried the fijjht to the supreme court, but as it is he will take bis defeat philosophically and will gracefully give way to his successor. Big; florae Sale. M. R. Cowles of Alberta baa bought up a fine bunch of young horses fjr shipment home. They bad been select ed with a view to a epeedly service out of herda in tbe Paulina country. Mr. Cowell drove 250 head through town Wednesday morning on tne wav to Baker for shipment. A number of men along tbe South Fork let go a few head but the bulk of the trade was from Lillard, Jacobs and Morgan. The ."00 head contracted for will be held on the range until Septem ber. The price pid was withheld from publication but is said to have been good by one of the sellers. Holt Brown and Frank Duncan went along with the horses as drovers. John Day News.

A roeognUoa autnorlty The Weekly TIC At TELEPHONE. O. R. eV Ti. Conducting Serlea of Experlmeute. To connect tbe engine cab with the rear of tbe train and in fact any portion of it by telephone is tbe aim of the. operating deparment of tbe O. K. & N., and to that end a series of experiments is being conducted. So far they have proved unsuccessful, as conversation could not be carried on from one end of tbe train to tbe other, but the results were decidedly satis factory between tbe locomotive and baggage-car. At a recent session of tbe general managers ot tne various narnman roads the question of telephone com munication was discussed, and it was pointed out that if the system conld be appliel to trains so that the conductor and eogineer could talk wbile the train waa in motion operations could be facilitated. Accordingly orders were issued for experiments. It was found that the sensitiveness of the transmitter and receiver of a tele phone interfere with conversation. The vibration of the engine and the noise forward is carried to tbe speaker in the rear, with tbe result that it has proved difficult to distinguish the voice with out almost yelling into the instrument. The particular purpose for which tbe train telephone was suggested was for freight trains. Often 40 or 59 cars are started in one train, and in the event the conductor neglects to inform the engineer of tbe work ahead he is forced to climb over tbe entire train to consult with tbe "bead end." Another matter that baa been given prominence in tbe experiments is to provide cabooses on freight trains with telephone instru ments so when tbey are "bung up" at blind sidings and cannot get onto tbe line again without consulting the dis patcher tbey can connect with the tele graph wires, whicb are also used by the telegrapbone, and thus receive orders. Requisition was maJe yesterday for a dozen instruments, and these will be uaed oa freight trains and at stations where . telegraph " operators are not stationed. Cabooses carrying . telephones are equipped with a three-jointed pole, similar to a fishing rod, on the end of which is a book, connecting a wire run ning through the pole with the tele phone instrument and telegraph wire. Bv means of tbe apparatus a freight conductor can open communication with the dispatcher and conversation can be carried on at a distance of 75 to 10Q miles. The telegrapbone is working be tween Portland and Tbe Dalles satis factorily, and likewise north of Rose burg. At stations where there are no operators the phones have been found convenient. A request has been made for tbe service at Meacham tunnel, where considerable blasting will be done to widen the passage. Because of the absence of a telegrapher a pbone will be necessary so tbe workmen can be kept informed of tbe approach of trains and have the track clear. In tbe operation of tbe telegrapbone connection ia made with tbe telegraph wires so messages can be sent and con versation held at the same time. Tbe speakers can distinguish tbe working of the telegraph keys distinctly, but the talking does not interfere with tbe transmission of messages. Advertised Letter.

FA It .Tit-US OICUA.ME. Sherman County Will Imatllla. Imitate That Sherman conntv farmers have taken hope from the success of the In land Empire Wheatgrowers' associa tion . formed in this -city tbtee weeks ago, is shown by the fact that they have organized on similar lines, says tbe East Oregonian. George N. Crossfield of Wasco, Sher man county, attended the mass meeting in tbis city three weeks ago, at which time the TJ.oatilla county association waa formed and immediately on bis re turn tbe farmers of that county arrang ed to organize. A special from The Dalles says : A mass meeting of farmers has been called to meet at Wasco, Sherman county, Saturday, July 7, to discuss the price now asked for grain bags and the advisability of holding periodical sales of wheat, the same as woolgrowers sell tbeir wool. Prices tor grain bags are out of all reason, the farmers say, and they intend to hold off threshing for CO days, it need be, until they enn get sacks in the open market at Hongkong, or in the east, and bring tbem ti Portland. Enough wealthy and independent farmers are ready to pledge themselves to insure tbis being done. The price of bags in Moro is 11 cents each. An option on a lot of begs in Portland was held by a Sherman county man today at 71s cents, but his order for 150.000 begs was raised 2 cents as soon as the option ex pired, because his money had failed to reach the bank in time. The bags were there and farmers say they were worth no more than they were before tbe option expired. Arrangements are being made by the independent farmers to loan money to farmers who may need financial assist ance so that no wheat will be threshed until the cheap bags get here form Hongkong. Threshing is not expected to start here much before August 15, so tbat working in conjunction with Umatilla and Walla Wall farmers, Sherman county can get cheap sacks by direct buying in the open market, if not other wise, and still not delay harvesting dangerously long. After threshing tbe proposed organiza tion will take charge of all wheat offered for sale and invite outside buyers and millers to come and attend genuine wbeat sales. Where Toys Are Made. Until a few years ago all the toys the American children played witb were brought from Europe. Now every toy tbat can be made by machinery has its starting place In the United States. Tin and pewter toys aud all those tbat have clock wdk for a mov ing power are manufactured In Con necticut, New York and Pennsylvania. All the drums used by our American boys ore made in Massachusetts. Music boxes are the product of tbe people liv ing In Switzerland. Harmonicas and Jewsharp" come from Austria, while all wooden toys are of German make. AH dolls, with tbe exception of tbe finest and most expensive ones, which are made in Franca, are manufactured in Germany. The wooden Jointed dolls come from tbe Tyrol, but tbe others as well as all false faces aud masks are made in Germany. A Rainy Day Raco.
