Burney, register of the Oregon City land office and is of snch general interest as to merit publicatien: United States Land Office, ) Oregon City, Or., Feb. 3, 1887. j Editob Astebian: Your letter of the 24th ult., stating that you would publish in The Asto bian (as an item of news, without cost) a list of patents remaining un called for in this office, has been re ceived. In response to your kind offer I have to say that there are now in this office about fifteen hundred patents ready for delivery. It would be quite a job to make out a list of said patents, stating the name.of each patentee and the num ber of each entry. It would take more time to make such list than I am able to spare. If the holder of a certificate or receipt (issued from this office) will send such certificate or receipt to this office, stating his or her postoffico address, the patent called for will, if it is here, be transmitted to such person by mail, free of any expense. If the patent is not here the certifi cate or receipt will be returned to the sender. As a general fhinc the patent for a claim is received here irom the gen eral land office about eight months or a ytar after date of tbo certificate or receipt; so a certificate or receipt dated within a year past should not be sent here unless notice has been re ceived by the claimant or holder that the patent for the same is in this of fice. However, an inquiry as to whether a patjnt may be in this office will al ways meet with ready response, as I wish to have the patents promptly ran into tue Hands of the persons properly entitled to them. Jfor over four yeras last past it has been the rule of this office, when patents have been received here from the general land office, to notify each claimaut to whom patent issues, by mail to. the postoffice nearest his claim, to the effeot that the patent for his claim has been received and that the same will be delivered to him upon surrender of the certificate of receipt issued to him from this office. There are patents in this office which were issued from the government over 25 years ago; and others is sued at various" dates since then, numbering, as aforesaid, about 1,500. These patents should be ob tained from this office by the pat entees or the present owners and put on record in the proper county of fices. In order to obtain the delivery of a patent the certificate or receipt issued from the land office for the claim must be surrendered If the certificate cr receipt has been lost or destroyed the patent will oe delivered upon an affidavit (which must be sworn to before an officer having a seal) setting forth owner ship of the land (describing the same in accordance with TJ. S. surveys.) the facts as to the loss of the certificate (or receipt) issued from the land office to the patentee, or (if the fact as to the loss of the certifi cate (or receipt) ii not known), that the affiant has made dil'gent inquiry and search with a view to finding such certificate (or receipt), that he has not been able to find the same and verily believes it has been do stroyed or irrecoverably lost; and that he makes the affidavit for the purpose of obtaining the patent fur said land. Parties iu making inquiry in rela Hon. to patents should state the name or tu&patentee and tue location by section, township and range of the iaud. Respectfully, W. T. Burnet, Register.

Bowers nodded pleasantly to the right and left, and took.asrat at one of "no tables whero Gonzalo was presidine ine visitor was a man who wouid'be conspicuous in any crowd." A quick eye, long, somewhat honked nose, a face bronzed by exposure, and a thin, attenu ated black mustache gave him the ai- pearance of either a tronti rsman or a veteran circus manager. He watched tne .game closely for s mie time, when his eye fell upon the large silver buttons on GnzaIo's coat. These s enied to hold his gaze, for, without removing his STiitiny. lie moved his char directh opposite t 0 little Mexican. In a few minutes a smile overspread his features, and he got up and went t . the. bar for a drink. Wiping his mils ache on a big yellow iiandana handkerchief, he stepped behind the table and whispered something in the Mexican's ear. The little propriet .r bowed graciously, say lug, loud enough for those around him to hear: "Si, Senor, 1 p'ay whatever game you Free Trade. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking oft' revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving the bur den of home manufacturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Floicer and Boschee's Ger man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to iucrease the size of the bot tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Floicer for Dyspepsia and 'Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized oountries.

The smile or uowers did not leave his face. Itseemed to glow even more radiantly when tnev sat down faciiu each other, and when he took from his p icket a large pursr tilled with gold it widened into almost a Iaii'h. "Ef you've no objections, partner," said Bowers, with lonuwh it of a drawl iu his enunciation, "we'll make it old sledge." At that time old sh-dge, known later as seven up, was a favorite Ameri can game, and its popularity h id pene tiated even the wild woods of the ex treme west. 'Eet makea uot de slight differans to me what a game eet is," replied the d ip per Gonzalo, as he took n new pack of uuius nom me uauus or one oc the ser vants. "All right, then, old bov; old sledge it is, and we'll make itfo"rS"0a game," and Bowers laid his black telt baton the floor. The game commenced, and at first Bowers lost. This, however, did not dis- turo 1113 equanimity in the least. He chewed at the end of a cigar, as was his habit, ran his hand through his long black hair, played with a large seal ring that adorned hisIeft little linger, and still smiled. A few idlers dritted back to where they ivjere playing, but the two antagonists wero so quiet that thev lost uiteiest and went back to more enliven ing games. Bowers, after some time, began to win. At first every second game; then two out of every three. The Mexican sent tor another pack of cards, as ho sai.l. "to change do luck."

Jb acini: his opponent, he kept his eye fixed on the handsome Kieen jicketot ihe proprietor and the silver buttons. They appeared to have some fascination for the rough riverman. Gonzalo sat listlessly in his seat, evi dencing but little interest in the game. His cards he held low as his hand rested on th. table. At : o'clock in the afternoon Boweis was Sl.800 ahead, ami the Mexican had awakened to a decided Intel est in the game, lie proposed to increase the bet to jjilOOon each game, which offer was piomptly accepted. Tho other tables had become deserted now, and there was a crowd gathered about fins two players. Side bets weie offered on each game by the spectatois, and the excitement was growing intense. Bowers paid no heed to those around him. He had come, he said, "to get all the honey out ot the gum tree, and he was a go m" to do it" At 3:30 ho had won 2,GO0, and at 4 o'clock, when he called for a diink, he was $4,000 in gold ahead. Gonzalo was somewhat pale, but there was not a tremor in his hand. He ex plained that they had leached nearly the. limits of his pile, but would plav two more hands for S500 each. Bowers won both. The Mexican rose from the table and shook hands with his antag onist, and both adjourned to take a glass of wine together. Bowers received the admiring glances of the crowd as he. strolled leisurely out of the saloon, still chewing his cigar.
