These must be expected in localities remote from the centers of popula tion and from transportation The six United States land offices in the state of Oregon, where all in formation relative to government lands may be had, are located at Portland, Multnomah county; Rose- burg, Douglas county: Lakeview, Lake county; The Dalles, Wasco county; La Grande, Union county, and Burns, Harney county. There is a register and receiver in each of fice, and the records are open to the inspection of the public While there are nearly 20.000, 000 acres of eovernment land avail able for settlement in the state, these figures convey no information as to the worth of this land or the acreage suitable for the making of homes. The greater portion of the govern ment land, not vet taken, is howev er, not adapted to agricultural pur poses. The Dalles land district embraces Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, and parts of Crook, Morrow, Grant and Clack amas counties.

The London Lancet has au article in a recent number in which it pre dicts the passing of the broom and predicts that its place will be taken in every household by the vacuum cleaner. The broom, it says, is likely to become as obsolete as the copper warming pan.
