Representative Ellis, of Oregon, has introduced a bill extending until Janu- • ary 1, 1899, the time in which settlers upon forfeited railroad lands can make payments. The hard times have made it difficult for settlers to make their payments, and Mr. Ellis has been asked to secure an extension. There ought to be no objection to the bill, and it will no doubt pass, if time can be obtained for its consideration. Senator Squire, of Washington, has prepared an amendment which he in tends offering to the sundry civil ap- -propriation bill, directing the secretary of the interior to apply $25,446 upon the penitentiary at Walla Walla. This is the amount that still remains unex pended of the appropriation of $30,000 made by congress for the purpose of . building a penitentiary in Washington.
