O) . Qlxz &iXs Q&lsxinn ASTORIA Oct. 10. IS77 Important to Settlers, 1'rom the Walla Walla Union. Tlve 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 law, which is now in force, provides that any party desiring to avail himself of the provisions of the .act must go !efore the Judge,or in his ahsence,the Clerk, 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 thel testimony is taken by the clerk in the -absence "of the judge,he is required -to certffy on papers to the absence of the judge. The officers of the Land Office are required to examine the papers thus madeoutandsent,and ifsatisfied with their regularity, and the sufficiency of the proof,up6n 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 riglits in the mat ter. The practical working of the law in the Walla Walla Land Di .rict will, in our opinion, he confined to the counties of Walla Walla, Yakima and Whitman, because the letter of the law provides for takin0 the tes timony "before the Judge, or, in his absence, be fore the clerk of any court of record of the county and State, or District and Territory in which the lands are situated", and theonly court of record in the 44I)istrict and Terri tory," is the TJ. 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 rerord 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. JJut in our opinion, proof taken before a judge or clerk of the Probate Court, ana sent to the Luna Umce, would not be considered good. We hope we are not wrong in our construction of the law, and would be happy to publish a decision of the Department overruling our opinion. Newspaper Ey-juaxts. 1. Bericf.

In i-outhern an e:ttern Oregon, cm l)ncini; twelve count iea of tho-tato, theie are li'nc nionlhs of s-pring, summer and Jail weather that are not urpa-d any where for all that i.- dt'.-irable for a de lightful and healthy climate, and M?areelv any diteaie, except that brought by inva lids who come from other states to be iPi-tored bv the liJe-civins power of a climate not Mirpa-sed on the globe, to benefit by the warm and he ding jower of Ihc warm and mineral baths ot i-oiuhem Oregon, and to nixunate in the delightful fruit- that excl in sucl) variety, quainity and quality. Tho month.- 'ot winter are distinguished lor light rain, dry snow, little fronts and a bracing atmosphere. Careful observation and minute investi gation by competent per.-oiis, private and official, establish beyond successful con tradiction that Oregon i- distinguished for the largest number of children to a family and the fewest number of deaths to the population of any state in the union. There is more fever and ague in Sacra mento valU'3T, California, in one ywir than there is in the whole of Oregon. In New England the deaths from tovr are one in every 2S3 of the population; in tho vjreat vt-ttne fleam-, ironi tins cause! are one in 15, and in the outhwe-t, such as in trt. Louis, they ait one in 1W, while in the state ot Oregon, the deaths from fever only average one in every 520 of the entire population. ffiForcibly is the case stated "by e Colorado Spiiuu Gazelle: ''The Ih casici-t way f..r a citizen of a place lo kill its prosperity is to J.urcha-eall his good Abroad, and the easiest way lo make people .go abroad is to neglect to advertise at home. People who don't believe tlmt advertising pays should not complain if people, attracted by the liberal ad verlisi w elite ot menhants m other places, go jtbroad to do iheir trading.
