The last Congress passed a law which will in its enforcement save many homesteaders the time trouble and-expense of a- personal trip to the Land Office, when it becomes desira ble or necessary to make -final proof for their claims. The new la7, which is now in force, provides that any p"arty desiring to avail himself of the provisions of the act " must go before the Judge,or in his absence, the Clck, of any court of record in the county and State, or district and Territory, in which the lands are situated, with his witness, maue the proof, and take the affidavits required by law, accor ding to the prescribed forms. The jndge or clerk taking the proof, is required to transmit it with theproper fee and charges to the -Register and Receiver of the Land Office, if the testimony is taken by the clerk in the absence of the judge,he is required to certify on papers to the absence of the judge. The officers of the Land Office are required to examine the papers thus madeoutand sent,and if satisfied with their regularity, and the sumciencj of the proof,upou the receipt of the full amount of money due, to issue the proper receipts and make the required returns. If the officers are not satisfied with the papers, they are required to notify the party and advise him of his rights in the mat ter. The practical working of the law in the Walla Walla Land District will, in our opinion, be confined t. the counties of Walla Walla, Yakima and Whitman, because the letter of the law provides for taking the tes timony "before the Judge, or, in his absence, before the clerk of any court of record of the county and State, or District and Territory in which the lands are situated", and the only court of record in the "District and Terri tory," is the U. S. District Court, which holds terms at Walla Walla, Colfax and Yakima, and has a clerk at each place. The law may possibly have been intended to allow the proof to be taken before the judge or clerk of any court of record in the county, in which case the proof could be taken before the judge or clerk of the Probate Court, that being the only Court of record in this Territory, be sides the District Court, recognized by the Land Department. But in our opinion, proof taken before a judge or clerk of the Probate Court, and sent to the Land Office, would not be considered good. We hope we are not wrong in our construction of the law, and would be happj' to publish a decision of the Department overruling our opinion. Most expeditious mute to Oregon Is hv Tail to San Eranen-eo, California, and thence to Portland, Oregon, by the diiect steamer line, bailing every Saturday morning. The state is protected on the west by the cou-t rango from tho strong gales of the Pacific octan, and on the eat from snow fciorms and cold winters by the Cas cade range, The trade winds of the Pa cific, from the north wet, keep the sum mer months of Oregon sufficiently cool to iuipirt vigor and energy to body and mind. The trade winds from the south west in winter, and the warm currents of the Pacific ocean are (sufficient to keep the winter months mild, comfortable and healthy; the one protects from extreme heat, the othei from extreme cold. And the magnificent br.ow peaks of Mount Hood, Mount Jefieron, and their com panions, stand a lajthlul sentinels, on the Cascade range, re3y a .oon a, the sun goes down, to cooi the labor and toil. The coast, cascade, and other mountain ranges, the ocean breezes, the ocean cur rent, and the mountain snow peaks are worth all the doctors in the United State to the people of Oregon, for lengthening life and securing health. They are so many physicians that are in constant at tendance to guard and protect the health ot the people. NEW GOODS! NEW PRICES! GEORGE W.
