STABLES Groceries WIIL APPROVE SURVEYS Matter of the Government Lands in 7-9 and 6-9 May Soon Be Settled. Polk county citizens who hare taken claims in the unsurveyed tracts of government land in 7-9 and 6-9 are watching with anxiety every move taken by the government in the matter of these lands. A report in the Tele gram, which follows, indicates that a settlement of the matter is not far off: "Approval of the surveys of the re maining portions of the former Siletz Indian reservation are expected to be made very soon, according to private advices received recently from the general land office. One full town ship and two half townships are embraced in these contracts, the sur veys were made some time ago, and the field notes and other necessary data transmitted to the commissioner of the general land office by the United States Surveyor-General with a recom mendation that the surveys be ac cepted. "These unsurveyed lands Include all of township 7 south, range 9 west, and the south half of township 6 south range 10 west. They are situated in the extreme northern part of Lincoln county, and contain some of the finest timber in that region. Under a spec ial act of congress passed August 15, 1894, it was provided that title to all the lands embraced in the former Siletz Indian reservation could only be acquired under a special home stead law, requiring three years' actual settlement and cultivation. "The Siletz lands have lately at tracted a great deal of attention by virtue of their enormously rich resources in timber, and in conse quence it is not believed there is any vacant government land left within its confines. In fact it is claimed that the townships hitherto unsurveyed are covered with settlers' cabins, and under the provisions of the homestead laws they will be preferred purchasers for a period of 90 days after the approval of the survey." Mesdames Gerlinger Entertain. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger and Mrs. L. Gerlinger, Jr., entertained about thirty invited guests at the home of the former Friday afternoon, in com pliment to Mrs. Edward Gerlinger, of Portland, who was , up for a short visit in this city.

Bollman, who has had charge of Company H, since Captain Cborpening was obliged to move to Eugene, was elected to the captaincy of the company Thursday night, receiving a large majority of the votes cast Mr. Bollman has won the respect and admiration or every member of the company during the time of his lieutenancy and the feel ing of the men toward him was clearly manifested by the unstiDted applause with which they received the an nounce ment of the result of the election. The election was held by Captain Meade, of Company F, who had come up from McMinnville for that purposo. After the election, Captain Meade made a short address to the members of the company, complimenting them on their work heretofore, giving them best wishes for the future and extend ing to them a hearty invitation from the members of his company in Mc Minnville to visit them in their city and attend any of the social functions given under their auspices. On Friday, the following evening, Mayor Hamlin, of Portland, held an inspection of the company, the men being fully equipped and in heavy marching order. The members had expected, and had prepared for the Annual Inspection, but Friday night's inspection proved to be only a prelim inary, designed to put the men in per fect preparation for the real Annual Inspection which is to be held Friday night, February 5. Major Hamlin professed himself well pleased with the discipline of the company and the general condition of its equipment and gave the officers and men a number of valuable sug gestions for the work of preparing themselves to the best advantage for the Annual Inspection. Three Deaths in Pioneer Family. Oren G. Savage, a prominent pio neer farmer of Polk county, for many years a resident of Eola, died early this month near Los Angeles, whither he bad gone last Fall for the benefit of his health. His death was due to pneumonia, a strange epldemio of which has wiped out practically the entire pioneer family within a single year. His elder brother, Alfred Sav age, died but a few days before him from the same disease and another brother, Lewis Savage, is lying so near death at bis home in Salem, that he has not yet been told of the sad occurrence in California, which has taken from him two of his nearest relatives. To add to the seeming mysterious fatality that is pursuing the family, comes the . news that Simtns Connelly, a half-brother of Lewis Savage, succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at his home in Palouse, Washington, last month. Alfred Savage was 75 years of age at the time of bis death aDd Oren Savage was 65 years of age. Mr. Connelly was about 62 years old. James McCain, one of A. J. Hera bree's attorneys, has informed County Clerk E. M. Smith that the hearing of bis client's case, which was to have come up before the Supreme Court, January 14, has been continued. The Court has not yet definitely set a time for the hearing. Of course that faucet split. We have them. Guy Bros. 2t RIPE OLIVES direct from grower. I am the only grocer in Dallas handling them.

HALL $ HAYES FURNITURE STORE Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. . .'. . .. It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or koroBone there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and'adjustlng. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than eleotrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and reoreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so muoh what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
