Well, soon will the wiseacres be tell-

It has lieen suggested that a bill be
presented to the next legislature com
pelling cattle buyers to brand stock
either in their regular brand or a road

W. II. Kogers, of Sodgewick City,
Kansas, Is among the new arrival in
Oregon in search of homes. He has
TisiteJ several ortions of this state and
has foniul that the chances lor the farm
er of small means are much letter here
than in Kansas.
"There are splendid opportunities in
Oregon," said Mr. Kogera, "for a man
with $500 to $ l.tXW to invest, as he can
buy the makings of a line homo with
that amount. Land is valuable in Kan
sas, and a quarter section cannot l
purchased for less than f.'HMK) to $iilKH).

yet, but I anticipate no trouble in dia

as they are now. However, gixnl larms

as agriculture is flourishing there, but I
don't like the hard Winter nor the hot
summers. 1 can staiui me cviti oeticr

'Oregon shonld U better advertised

rule every year in Kansas, and so times
are not always as properous as now. I
think now is a good time to move, while
lands are in brisk demand buck there.
"Kansas people are in ignorance of

Important Century Data.
The Kxaminer Is now publishing from
week to week a series of important dales
and happenings of the Nineteenth Cen
tury, beginning with the year 1K01,
"the legislative union established be

ending with the "West Indian hurri
cane" in l'.itXi. This important data
will Is: concluded in our issue of Jan. 3,
HMJl , the end of the twenty-second vol

important to be preserved by all our
readers, and we would suggest that each
subscriber take the issues of this paper
from December ' Vi to, and including
January 'A, paste them together in book
form and put tbem away fur future
reference. As The Kxaminer is no a
cut and pasted in hook form the four
issues containing this century data will
make a neat Isjok.
