If he wants to make it as popu lous, as thrifty and as widely known as possible, ho cannot af would bo to givo tho holders a chanco to speculate. Tho tractH or claims would not bo home steads, in tho full meaning of tho word, but speculative oppor tunities. There aro about 100 men in Woodburn whom tho passage of this bill would please.

There has been more loss this winter than ordinarily, but not a great loss considering the sever ity of the weather and the length of time it was necessary to feed.
