This office has had frequent inquiries
concerning the manner in which land
may be taken when the Siletz Indian
reservation is opened. The Oregon City
Enterprise, published at the seat of the
land office, gives the infornia.tion in the
following manner: “The bill provides
that mineral lands, if any, shall be dis
posed of as other like lands, the balance
of the lands to be disposed of under the
townsite or homestead laws.
Home
steaders will pay at the tune of filing in
addition to the regular fees, fifty cents
per acre on the land entered and on
making final proof another payment of
one dollar per acre. Final proof is to be
made within five years from date of en
try and not less than three years of ac
tual residence on the land shall be es
tablished by such evidence as is now-
required in homestead proofs to perfect
title. The bill provides that the presi
dent shall by proclamation declare the
lands open to settlement, such date of
opening to be sixty days from the time
of the issuance of the proclamation. As
no proclamation has yet been issued by
the president relative to these lands,
Senator Dolph in order to hurry up the
matter has written the secretary of the
interior asking him to call the attention
of the president to the matter, that no
further delay may be had in the opening
of the reservation.’’
Trotting Record Has Dropped Sec
ond by Second and the End
is Not Yet.
From the time that old Lady Suf
folk first beat 2:30 to harness over
the Beacon course at Hoboken, N. J.,
in 1845, the world's trotting record
has been equaled or reduced thirty-
five times by fourteen different trot
ters. The advance has been steady
and gradual in the main, and shows
that on the average about five sec
onds marks the progress of each
decade. The following' table shows
the best trotting record as it stood
at the end of each decade from 1845
to the present year:

summer to make investigation, and
they received evidence sufficient to
satisfy me some big lumber dealers
fired the forests in order to hide the
evidence of their timber stealing*.
The evidence is not sufficiently strong
to warrant charging any particular
man with the deeds. However, I am
informed the states of Michigan and
Wisconsin have appointed commis
sions to investigate the fires. Until
we know the results the insurance
organizations will do nothing. There
is a possibility, however, in the event
of the failure of these commissions to
develop the matter that some insur
ance unions will take up the prosecu
tion themselves. I am confident
that the state authorities can secure
all the evidence necessary if they
try.”

SWINE INDC8TRY.
There are two branches of the live
stock industry in Oregon in which
breeders are feeling hopeful. The
demand for Jersej- cattie and pedi
greed swine has been improving for
the past year.
The call for Jerseys came first but
at the present time breeders are re
ceiving many inquiries for swine qf
the various breeds.
The growing interest in these lines
bodes well for the farming industry
of this section. Good cows and good
hogs will go a long ways toward
bringing about an era of prosperity
for the farmers of Oregon and Wash
ington.
In spite of the fact that hogs are
selling for less in the Pacific north
west than elsewhere in the United
States, hogs, at the prices they now
sell for here, pay better than any
thing else produced on the farm ex*
cept the best grade of butter.
In the end our hogs must bring as
good prices as any produced in the
United States, if not better. The
conditions under which we must
grow them make healthy hogs
and sweet meat. Our climatic con
ditions are quite similar to those
found in Ireland, Denmark and West
phalia, the countries which produce
hams and bacon that sell in the
markets of the world for much high
er prices than the best American
corn-fed product.
There is little danger of loss from
cholera when hogs are raised on milk,
clover, alfalfa, peas, potatoes, wheat
and barley. These are the kinds of
feed which this section produces and
they are the kinds of feed which
make the best quality of pork.
Prunes and other fruit which may
be for any cause unfit for shipment
should be fed to hogs and will aid in
promoting their good health and
giving superior flavor .to their flesh.
This is not the country for great
farms devoted almost exclusively to
raising and fattening hogs. What
what we want are a few hogs on a
great many farms and not a great
many hogs on a few farms.
A large amount of damaged wheat
is this year being shipped from east
ern Washington to Nebraska to be
used for fattening hogs. The farm
ers who buy this wheat must be
obliged to pay twice as much, at
least as those get who sell it. If there
had been a reasonable number of
hogs in eastern Washington one year
ago it would have been an easy mat
ter to have made profitable use of all
this damaged wheat, and much of
that which is not damaged, at home.
Under existing conditions there
can be no prosperity for the agricult
ural community which uses the pro
ceeds of exported wheat to pay for
imported dairy and pork products.
The prosperous nations are those
which export choice butter and
prime bacon.— Rural Northwest.
