The state of Uregon is now divided- into fiyoUiid districts, viz.: Oregon City.Roseburg, Lakevicw, LaGrand and The Dalles, the lo cal United States land offices for said districts bein? situated re speotively in the above named towns. The Oregon City land districts, originally the Willamette land district, embraced prior to March 2, 1853, (at which date Washington Territory was organ ized) all the land in the territory of Oregon, said territory prior to that time, embracing all that part of the territory of the United States which lav west of the Rockv mountains and north of the 42d parallel of north latitude; now comprising Oregon and the terri tories of Washington and Idaho, covering an 'area of over 251,0.00 square miles of land. The Or egon City land district now em braces all the land south" of the Columbia river to the 3d standard parallel, and west of the sninmit of the Cascade mountains to the PaciGc, containing an area of about seven million acres. The counties of Clatsop, - Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion, Poll;, Tilla mook, Yamhill, Bentpu and Linn, with the exception of a few acres in the southern part of the two latter, are entirely situated in this district. About two-thirds of the land embraced herein has been surveyed, a great deal of which is yet unsettled. Lands .lying near navigable rivers and railroads, have, of course, been first selected by settlers; and persons who de siro to settle upon government land in this district, should not expect to- find locations nearer than the foot hills of the Cascades and Coast rancres of mountains. However, by reason of cancella tions and relinquishments, tracts of land may be obtained in any part of this land 'district. There arc a vastnumber-of acres of va cant' government land in the Coun ties of Clatsop ahdCoIuinbia, tlio oil of whieh is very rich and fer tile, but heavily 'timbered. In fact, the land in this district re-' maining unclaimed, is generally covered by forests of fir inter spersed with hemlock,.cedar, Cot tonwood, oak, pine, alder, maple, ash and various ?pcciob of tiees of less- value. Fire.? have at difiercnt'l times raged furiously in the C.-is-cado and Coast ranges of moun tains, partly consuming" the trees for miles in oxtent, and thus leav ing the country in sonie places comparatively open; this is espec ially the case on the west side of the.Coast range. Water of tho purest quality is everywhere abundant, and range for stock is, in the foot hills, excellent. Dur ing the year ending December 31, 1881, two hundrod and fifty-six homestead entries aggregating 35,593 acres, and 188 preemption declaratory statements under sec tion 2259 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, covering 24,628 aeres of land, have been filed in this office; 144 claimants have made final proof in their homestead claims, covering 17, 821 acres, for which final receipts entitling them to patents, have been issued; 45,420 acres of land, in which are included preemption claims, timber entries under the Act of Congress approved June 3, 1878, and excesses in homestead applications', have been sold for cash at 81.25 and 2:50 per acre, the rate depending upon the loca tion of tho land. Correct. Tiie Walla Wiilb Union makes a center shot when it says: The Southern Pacific has demonstrated the practicability of carrying wheat from California "to New Orleans and St. Louis f&r a moderatefreijrliti TOTP. Ttl fflft frlirt infa nnttnminnl ... . - . 3Id per ton from California fields to the Atlantic coast, seems to Walla Walla people so small a charge that it is hard to realize that it is uota delusion and a snare. With the completion of the North ern Pacific a similar rate should be oflVred Washington wheat growers. If the management of the company will announce that they will carry wheat from East ern "Was-hinirtoii and Orcsnn to Duluth.-St. Paul ami Chicago .as cheaply as the Southern Pacific does from California to St. Lout?, they will be offering a greater in ducement to immigration than train loads of pamphlets by the most vivid writer3, and at the . r same time do much more to allay the hostile feeling entertained by many people than they could in any other, way. Only that. the wheat should como down the river and be loaded in deep sea-going vessels at Asto.ia. The Panama Canal. L"irroi: ASTonr.VH : Youk Washington correspovi ent is misinformed in regard to the De Lesseps canal. The work is not only begun, but a vcry large force of men and dredgers are continually at work at the ex cavation. The the character of the ground to be excavated is now found to be so much softer lh.ui at first supposed that it is beliewd j that only four years will be re quired for the work. The oot will be much less than at" first sup posed. But" it ma- strike the or dinary reader that it is strange how much news about tho Panama canal oomes fiom "Washington citv. One would think that De Lesseps with his army were dig ging a tunnel under the capital and that the old ironclads and newspaper correspondents were to be marshalled to stop him. The fact is, the average resident of Washington city can not under stand how any transportation in terest can be inaugurated without first securing a large land-giant or mail "contract in connection with it. Ann now, .ur nuuor, let me tell you a liule " "Washing ton nevis that your correspondent has omitted. The Northern Pa cific, Union, and Central Pacific railroad companies are making common caiiM'in a warfare Against the De Lessens canal. The' are now arranging tneir pools on way business across the continent, and the idea of any coinpetion coming up between these railroad-grant coiporations on tlnough business is sheer non&nse. They are afraid of the De Lesseps canal be cause after it is completed there will no longer be any chance to form pools on through business and keep up passage and freight, to double what they should be. Consequently they are moving all Washington, agitating the Mon roe doetiine, the -isicaragua canal, and other nonsense. Through a powerful lobby they are trying to get our government to commit su icide by preventing tho construc tion of the Panama canal. Isthmus. Tiie Oregonian turjlily come! to the rescue and now declares ''the bar must be improve'l.'' If that paper had stood in for bar iai proTement when the Portland Board of Thtdo were issuing cir culars warning foreign ship masters that no vessel drawing over ninc teen feet of water should come to the Columbia river, it would be in better grace with the people of Oregon to-day, than to come wheeling into line now, when every paper in the State is a nnit in demanding the improvement of our great national highway.
