HOOD BlYSlt GLAOirH, TOTEJJDAY, JUKE, 71003 aft N. P. SETTLERS MAY TAKE LIEU LAND Settlor who bavo taken up land 'u Klickitat county upon tlie old North ern Paoillo grants, soon red under con ditions of building the branch line from Alnsworth to Tacoma and the main line from Wallula to Foreland, will not be compelled to surrender their present holdings under the latest instructions from the acting commis sioner transmitted to Keginter Uillis, says a Walla Walla dispatch. The set tlers are given the option of electing to retain the lands entered upon, or to surrender them and take lieu land Instead. The overlap of the railroad grants and the subsequent rulings, reversals and supreme court decisions served to completely mix the titles and claims and the tanglu has resulted In the'.now instructions, given as follows: "The luud heroin described are within the primary limits of the grant to the Northern l'aoillo Railroad com pany for the constructed branch line for its road between Alnsworth and Taoonia and was listed by the com tianv on aoooiiut of the grants July 27, 1887. These lands are alsojwltbin the withdrawal on general grants for the unoonstruoted main line btttoen wai' lula. Wash., and Portland under the forfeiture act of September '.), 18!K), for the reason the listing therefor was canceled by letter "F" of June lit, ltSO. "On April 25, 1905, the secretary of the Interior issuod Instructions in tnis oluss of oases which are to the effect that in the adjustment of the grant to the said company within the overlap iu question, the company must be credited for the full . amount of the odd numbered sections within the primary limits and such said sections as were disposed of under the former ruling that the company was entiueu to a moloty of said lands as are to be listed for relinquishment ty tne com pany under the provisions or tne com nanv act of Julv 1. 181)8. "Now, therefore, the homestead claims described, appearing to coma within the provisions of said act, you are hereby instructed to notify eaob entryman. or his transferee, it any, that he will be allowed 00 days after notice within which to elect to retain the land covered by bis entry, or to rellnoulsb the same and take otber lauds in lien thereof In manner and form prescribed by oliloe circular of February 14. mrj. Issued under said act, and that should he fail to file bis formal election alter due notice, suon failure will be oovered by bis entry, iu which event the lands will be listed for relinquishment by the company without f urthor notioe from the claim ants. " Homesteaders Net Freeholder. Attorney General Crawford has ren dered an opinion touching on the qualiHcdtion of witnesses in swearing in a voter under the new regulations, The attorney-general says: "Replylim to the question request lug opinion of this office aa to whether a person who has lllod ou a home stead, otherwise being qualified, can be a witness to sweat in a vote on election day under our election laws; that is, is be a freeholder so as to be one of the six witnesses required for that purpose," permit hid to say that all depends On what the courts hold to be a 1 reehoidor, and ive liud by ex amination thut lu the case of (State vs. Kuglaud, 75 N. 0. 12, i:i, and tlar lend vs. Htate, Southern Keporter Hun. 8:w. tuo word 'freeholder' la de lined to be one who owns lands In fee or for life, or for some indeterminate period, and in the oaie of fore vs. Iloke. 48 Mo. Ami. 2Ti-2U. it Is held that the word 'freeholder' Is geuerally used to designate tbo owuer of an es tutu iu fee lu laud. The same detlni tioii Is given in several other rases. "Therefore, taking the above dellui tlon of what constitutes a freeholder, 1 am of the opinion that a person who has lllod on a homestead Is not a free holder in the sense that outltled him to be one of the six witnesses required to swear iu a vote, on eloutlon day, unless he has a freehold In other real' ty." It Didn't Come Hack. Don't be too generous about loan ingjyour garden hose to whoever asks for it, or you may find yottrailt minus tho means of Irrigating your lawn as did a Dalies family last evening. But unlay evening about OiliOa young man called at the door and said he'd like to borrow the hose to water a lawn down ou the corner. Doing "easy," or nut dreaming of fiaud, the fuiu.ly allowed hi in to carry it away. LaHt evening when the hour came for irrl gutlug the hose was still minus. Call ing ou the "corner" neighbors fiey found none of them had thought of borrowiug it. and finally the truth dawned on the "easy marks" and the secondhand store was visited. There was the hose, wbioh had been bought Saturday evening for 11.50, Marshal Wood is after the hose man, but it is likely be bus skipped by this time. Chronicle. Have Formed an Association. The strawberry growers in the vicinity of Canby, Oregon, hive or guulzed an association this bouhou and are going to keep prices at a respect able figure for some remuneration to themselves for their work. About fifty sores are represented by those who signed the charter. The pi lees llxed are as follows: Canning berries, 4 cents per pound when picked ami marketed by the owner, and 3 cents when picked by the buyer; $1.20 per orate when the buyer picks the berries and furnishes his own orates, fly agreement eaob member of tho associ ation will pay a line of for a viola tion of any of tbo terms for disposing of their crops. May W eather. D. N. llyerlee, local weather obser ver, reports the observation at flood Klver for May as follows: The weather. has been for a great part of the mouth a little above the uornial in tcmpcratui. The normal mean temperature for May Is 5(1 de grees, while this year the meau tem perature was 58.33 degrees. The nor mal mean maximum for May is 07 de grees, while the mean maximum this year was 07.07 degrees. The normal mean minimum, too, is lower, beiug 45 degrees, while the meau minimum foi this year was 1) degrees. The preoipitation shows a plus, the normal precipitation for May being 1.26 iuches, and we receivod 1.52 inches of rainfall. There was a light frost ou the Itith which did uo damage that was notice able. Altogether the mouth has been very favorable for all crops, including te berries, for had the weather been stioh as we are having now tho output would have been cut very much of what it now is by reason of the bei ries ripeningjbefore attaiuing market able size. Meager Fruit Crop on Snake. W. L. LaFollette, wbo bas an or chard of 250 acres at Wawawai, Wash savsln tbe SDokeainan-Keview: "Taking it as a whole, we will have about 2o per cent of a ct.eiry crop, Peaches will be about 25 lor cent. pears 50 to (K) per cent, prunes and plums 80 to 90 per cent and slrawber rles about 50 per cent of an average crop. We will bave bout 300 crates of strawberries where we should have at least 500 oiates. The drought of last year hurt tbe strawberries more than tbe cold weather this year." Mr. La FolJette is also an extensive Brain grower, bavins a large grain ranchbe tweeu Pullman and bis fruit farm. He savs tail wheat in tbat sec tion looks better than iu almost any other part of the Palouse country, and a eood vield Is practically assured. More snow oovered the ground there than in many districts where tbe oold snap of March killed so much wheat. Mr. La Follotte said tbe rain now falling is one of tbe most tiirely the Pulouse oouulry bas eier known and be predicts an average yield or grain, Hall Damages Fruit Crop. Creston, Wash., May 29.

Apple Outlook Is Ilrllllunt. II. (Jreeiiberg, one of tbe fruit farmers on Orchard prairie, Wash., declaies that tbe protpeot foi the ap pie crop tbis year is really flue, lie has 28 acres in apple, and he expect to get from 0000 to HOOO boxes. "Last year tbe worms were so bad that 1 ouly got 1000 boxes." said he, "The year before we bad a good crop, and I bad about 4400 boxes, which netted 38 cents a box after the cost of boxes, picking and deliveiy at Hill yard bad been deducted, we are spraying with arsenate of lead for the oodiing moth, me trees are in spieu did shape." Spokesman -Review. Error In Apple Statistics. An article which has lately been g3 Ing tbe rounds of tbe papers In lljl nois purporting to boost tbat state into tbe nrst place among tbe apple producing states of tbe Union has caused no little comment among tbe fruit people on account of Its exagger atiou. Tbe report Is said to bave been glv en out by Oeo. Foster, secretary of tbe Ulluola'tlortloultural society, and It credits Illinois with having 13,000,- 000 apple trees tbat produce 9,000,000 Dusheis annually, while Kansas has 11,000,000 trees which produoe 8.000, 000 bushels. According to the same report Missouri has 20,000,000 trees which yield (3,000,000 bushels and Michigan has 10,000.000 trees which produces ;i,ijou,uuo bushels and Arkan sas 7,000, 000 trees which produoe 2, 000,000 bushels. Several local apple men v. ho are in formed on tbe apple prcduotlou throughout the country smilu blandly at this seemingly comical caper or Mr, tester's to -booHt Illinois Intu ILc top notch as an apple state, and the con viction appeals to be entertained by most dealeis tbat Mr. Foster has got his arithmetic warped by subjecting it to the burning rays of local puUiot- lsm. Acoonllng to the most reliable fig ores available tbe number o: barrels of apples produced in Illinois list year was 525,000. Aliowii g throe bushels to the barrel it Is easy to see that the number of bushels Is short of 9,000,000. Accordlug to reliable sla tittles the estimates applied to other stul.es are as badly out of line as the figures having reference to lllinoi produced 2,100.000 bushels lu l;Xr which was tbe banner year so far iu the applo prouotlon lu tins count i v. but no yearsiuoe tbat time has Illinois reached the million mark, and In t.u l the produo Ion bas grown small every year despite tbe report that the numbet of .trees baa been Increased so rapidly. Hut the contention that Illinois Is the heaviest producer of apples is so Illmsy that It excites little setlous at tention at tlii bauds of tbe trade wbo know "what's what' lu apples. It is estimated here that, four counties in York state produoe more apples than entire state of Illinois. The year 1906 it Is put down lu a government report that the entire York state crop was 2,800,000 b.irrels, whereas iu tbe year llHia the production was 0,250,000 bar rels. Kveu Pennsylvania was credited last year with. 2,100,000 bairels fund Virginia u said tohave yielded 1,'JMi,. 000 barrels. Michigu is credited witb 1,800,000 barrels, a figure slightly iu exoeus of tbe estimate Mr. Foster gives. Local apple nieu say that statistics frequently tell stories and the general Impression is that the leport credited to Mr. Foster by the daily papers of the state is very misleading. It Is generally admitted that the uumberof apple trees throughout Illinois is gradually Increasing and ItLlB couced ed the day may come wheu apples will he produced lu this slate in as large quauities as are giowu in the older apple sections, but, tbe local trade Is not disposed to take credit for giow lug the most apples until they are actually produced.
