on the night of June 21. Little
damage was done except to nip
i the potatoes and an occasional

sults from the freeze of June 5
brought out that the fall seeded

suffered very much, the damage
varying in different localities
from a loss of ten per cent of the j
, crop to the loss of the entire crop!

A new organization, The Ore
gon Industry League, has recent
ly been formed in Portland, the
object of which is to conduct in
educational campaign for the ex
tention of the use of Oregon-made
goods of all kinds, for the en
couragement ol all lines of in
dustry in this stale and for the
moral and financial backing of all
Oregon institutions. L. Samuel,
for many years prominent as a
leader on the movement for the
support of Oregon industries,
has been elected president of the
organization.
The campaign will be carried
on through publications in the
state, and the league may in
time establish an official publica
tion of its own. Meetings of all
kinds, where the league can pro
perly send its speakers will be
covered and all large conventions
in the state will be attended by
its delegates. Twenty-one lead
ing civic and commercial organi
zations of the city and state sent
delegates to assist in the estab
lishment of the new league and
it is to bring to its assistance
I practically every organization of
importance in the state.

Agricultural, industrial and educational subjects for uso in the greet I'uthe motion picture service
will be secured in Central Oregon and in the Willam tte Vulley, as a result of the cooperation of the
Great Northern railway. Ralph Earle, Northwest representative of the 1'ulho company, will visit
both sections of the state within the next thirty days nnd secure a set of dims that will be featured
in picture theaters all over the country.
last year Mr. Karle paid a visit to Harney county, in company with IJoyd W. McDowell, publici
ty agent of the Great Northern, for a cattle round-up and agricultural scenes. The film came out as
"Opportunities and a Million Acres," and was seen by thousand of people in the United States. It
was shown at Tonawama shortly after it was released. This year the film is going over the Pathe
circuit in Kurope and recent motion picture publications in Paris ran pictures of the Harney county
cattle round-up as part of a descriptive article on films released in Europe in May.
Iewis W. Hill, of the Great Northern, is a great believer in the motion picture as the means of
bringing the agricultural greatness of the American Northwest to the attention of the masses,

ceived a circular from the De
partment of the Interior under
date of June 6. that is of interest
to many entrymen in this land
district. It reads:
Your attention is directed to
the act of Congress of April 6,
1914, relating to the rights of
homesteaders who intermarry:
"Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the
marriage of a homestead entry
man to a homestead entrywoman
after each shall have fulfilled the
requirements of the homestead
law for one year next preceding
such marriage shall not impair
the right of either to a patent.
but the husband shall elect, un
der rules and regulations pre
scribed by the Secretary of the
Interior, on which of the two
entries the home shall thereafter
be made, and residence thereon
by the husband and wife shall
constitute a compliance with the
residence requirements upon each
entry: Provided, That the provis
ions hereof shall apply to exist
ing entries."
The act applies to claims initi
ated before or after its date, and
to become entitled to its benefits
it is required that each of the
parties shall have complied with
the requirements of the home
stead laws for not less than one
year next preceding their mar
riage. Where the parties, or
either of them, are entitled to
credit for such compliance prior
to entry, that time may be count
ed in making up the period of
one year, and it follows that
neither of the entries need be
one year old at the time of mar
riage.
The law confers upon the hus
band the privilege of electing on
which of the two entries the fam
ily shall reside. His election

facts as to the residence, cultiva
tion, and improvements already
had in connection therewith. On
ly in cases where the tracts in
volved are situated in different
districts will it be necessary that
the election and affidavits be exe
cuted in duplicate, then copies of
all papers must be filed in each
office.
The local officers will make due
notation of the filing of the elec
tion on their records as to the en
try, or entries, within their dis
trict, and will at once forward
the papers, with their recommen
dations, to the General Land Of
fice, which will promptly pass
upon the question of accepting
the election.
Though the election be accept
ed, proofs on the entries will be
submitted separately, as in other
cases; it will be necessary to
show residence on the selected
homestead from approximately
the date of the selection, and on
the entries of the respective par
ties before said date. The act
makes no change whatever in
the requirements as to cultiva
tion, and compliance with the
homestead law in this regard
must be shown as to each entry,
precisely as though the marriage
had not taken place.
If proof is made on the entry
selected as the home before title
to the other is earned, residence
may nevertheless be continued on
the perfected entry and credited
to the other. However, the act
has no application to cases where
the requirements of law have
been fulfilled as to one entry
prior to the marriage or to the
filing of the election.
