The approach of the day when the agricultural lands ot the O. & C. grant will be thrown open to homestead en try has brought many inquiries re garding the tracts, and the terms un der which they will be distributed, to the land office officials. Under date ot August 2, the Roseburg land office issuea a circular letter in which It answers the points most commonly broached by correspondents. It is stated that work of classification was commenced on August 1 in Josephine and Jackson counties, the work to proceed northward, and to be com pleted probably some time in 1917. The land office officials state their belief, however, that the lands in Josephine and Jackson counties will be thrown open some time during the latter part of the present year, not awaiting complete classification throughout the state. No estimate of the proportion ot the surveyed and unsold O. t C. lands In Josephine county, 172,460 acres, that will be classified as agricultural can be made. ' The lands classified as agricultural will become open to entry under the general provisions of the homestead law, with certain modifications rela tive to cultivation, and opened to entry in accordance with the act of September 30, 191 J, which states that "The president may provide for the opening ot lands by settlement in ad vance of entry, by drawing, or by some such method as he may deem advisable," under such regulations as may be promulgated by the secre tary of interior within the scope of this act. The opening of the railroad lands will follow some such general plan as given in said act. In addi tion to the usual homestead fees and commissions, 50 cents per acre must be paid for the land when entry is allowed, and $2.00 per acre at the time of making proof. Commutation proof will not apply to these lands, nor will patent be issued until entry- man has resided upon and cultivated the land for a period of three years, proof of which must be made within five years from date of entry. The area required for cultivation shall be such as to satisfy the secretary of interior that the entry was made in good faith for the purpose of settle ment. Only persons qualified to en ter land under the homestead law may enter this railroad land. Ex ception Is made of such persons who are otherwise qualified, but who have exercised their homestead right and who since December 1, 1913, have resided upon the land. To such per sons preference right is also given, and such person may also enter the subdivision having more than 300,000 feet of timber on which his Improve ments are located.

Trade with the allies has been only because the allies were able to come and get our goods. Trade with Germany will be welcomed if the channel Is opened to trade. Is a beautiful morning." I Several of the Irishmen in the crowd outside the jail fell on their knees and prayed fervently during the tolling of te bell which an nounced Casement's death. On the other hand there were a few In the watchers, men and women, who waved hats and handkerchiefs. Last night, guards said, Casement spent considerable time in writing, but slept soundly after he had re tired. Casement expected a reprieve and commutation of his sentence up to last night, but when darkness came he realized there was no hope, It was said, and, without emotion, went about setting his affairs in order. Casement was granted just one boon before his death and that was permission to wear his own clothes instead of the prison garb, to which he objected strongly on his entry at the jail. The government turned a deaf ear to all pleas for clemency of Case ment's sentence. Petitions have been coming in at the home office for weeks. It was in answer to these that Lord Robert Cecil asserted that no doubt existed as to the Irishman's guilt and that the only ground on which commutation could be based would be political expediency "a difficult ground to put forth In this country." Prison Governor Davis testified at the Inquest that Casement's death was Instantaneous. day. Picketing continued today. The excitement and nftrry-maklng which attended this work during the first few hours ot the strike Is dying and today saw red-badged pickets taking up In real earnest the task ot tramp ing the sidewalks in front of boy cotted places with their cries of "un fair house."

Heavy penalties are Inflicted for the revelation of parliamentary secret ses sion or cabinet decisions, but they cannot well be heavier than those which the parliament of Henry VII. In flicted for a nlmllnr offense. One mem ber of the bouse of commons was fool ish enough to toll the king himself what the commons had been debating , He was sent to the tower, and a spe cial act of parliament was passed by which be and his posterity were barred from sitting In the house of commons as the "representative of any place whatever' In the days of Queen Elizabeth a certain Mr. Hall, M. P.. was found guilty of revealing the de bates in the commons. He was ex pelled from the bouse, sent to tbeTower for six months and fined 500 s con alderable fortune In those days. Lon don Spectator.

PROGRESSIVES ARE IN MEETING TODAY Indianapolis, Aug.' 3.-Upon the de mand of a large majority of delegates to the progressive conference opening here today, the meeting was open to day to all comers. Since nearly every delegate bad a message to deliver, the session promised to be prolonged. The three-way split that divides the remaining progressive party leaders was emphasised today before the dele gates met. Three programs were presented by the delegates. They were: To let the national ticket go by default and not hold another na tional convention this year, but to call a party conference to be held soon after the election and start an aggressive four-year fight tor 1920. To endorse the candidacy of Presi dent Wilson.. To order a national convention and begin the best fight possible against both old parties. "There are only two possibilities for this conference to decide: Shall we have a national ticket, or shall we not?" said John M. Parker, the con ventlon nominee for vice-president, to the United Press. "There is no possibility that we shall endorse Wilson or Hughes," Parker continued. Parker said he believed there would not be a national ticket, because the party had no suitable man to head It He said he would refuse the nomln atlon for president, if It was offered to him. "If Wilson sees his opportunity, he will get a shotgun and go after Kltehln and Hoke Smith, who are op posing his child labor bill," Parker said. "He should tell these two lead ers that they are not fit to be In con Kress. It Is my shame that the south erners are the only ones opposing this legislation."
