Domes In Oregon.
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.

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. Prob
