Immediately after the report was published showing that the rail road will probably be constructed, there was a rush for cheap land in that vicinity. Within a few days every acre of. vacant school land within 35 miles and more of Coos Bay had been purchased. Some , of the land may prove to be of no value as a means of income, but in the desire to get w hat there was of value men took all there was to be had. The land cost them but $1.25 per acre,' so the loss could not be great in any event. Buying has also been active m Curry county, and piactically all the vacant school land has been taken. ' In anticipation of the creation of the large forest reserve in Eastern Oregon, all the Echol land in the area covered by the proposed reserve has been bought up. Some of it is said to be timbered, and will be worth what it cost on this account.

NEW SEAL ROOKERY, One lies Been Discovert d In Aleutian Group : by Captain McClcllan, . Washington, Aug. 21.

McClellan, commanding the cutter Manning, recording the dis covery of a new fur Beal -rookery on Bouldyer Island, in the Aleutian group. Lieutenant Burthoff went ashore with a boat's crew. He found a rookery of fur seal similar to those found on Pry byloff islands. Bouldyer is between the Arctic sea and the Pacific .ocean, fully j), 500 miles from San Francisco, but still within the United States jurisdiction. Lieutenant Berthoff ap proached the herd closely enough to observe that none of the seals had been branded, and there was no sign that white men in search of seals had ever been near ' the island. The Manning will continue searching to discover if there are other rookeries in that local ity. The suggestion is made that these islands may be one of the rendezvous of the seal during their absence from Prybyloff islands.
