Office, corner Court and Liberty Streets At The Corn Palace. Tho fol lowing from tho Sioux City Jour nal of Thursday, Oct. 1st, nud re fers to tho exhibit of the Orejjon Land company at the Corn pafrco festival, at Sioux City, under the charge of Dr. Minthorn who has just returned after a most pleasant trip. One of the fealurei of tho Corn Palace this weak is the Oregon ex hibit from Salem, tho capital of tho far on" Wes'.eru state. This exhibit, while sent here by tho Oregon Land company, and presumably in the interest of real estate, is of the most creSiLible character. It comprises sevenfy-flvo different varieties of wheat, tho quality of which it is safe to say cannot be excelled in tho world. The fruit industry which is a leading one of tho Wil lamette valley, is represented by a superior collection of apples and pears, which 1'ko mostal the pro ducts of Oregon where tho climate is mild and the seasou of fjrowth pro portionately long are superior in size and llavor to tho same varieties raised in any other country. Hut .what is the most surprising to one acquainted with tho soil aud climate of Oregon is the display of dried prunes, which are simply unap proachable in size and llavor. Samples of wheat and prunes are distributed to all applicants. The Journal is a recipient of a box of dried Bartlett pears aud Silver prunes, which are as sweet as honey of Hymettus. Tho exhibit was delayed en route and put in po sition Sunday afternoon and yes terday. The exhibit occupies a booth near tho right entrance to the Palace and it is well worth a visit. An Innocent Ahuoad. Bio. Besserer, of the Walla Walla Jour nal, tells this on himself: ''At the Portland fair they had a sufl'ed cow which they milked (?) whenever a person called for a glass of milk, fresh from the fountain head. The whole thing looked so natural that many who dranit tho milk, believe to this day that tho cow was a genu ine Durham. Tho Journal editor himself pressed forward to invest a nickel, and after drinking tho milk, right from tho cow, as he supposed, ho looked at the maid, with rosy cheeks, In a sort of quisieal way and asked, what makes this milk so cold?'' "Oh" said tho little vixon, with a roguish leer In her left eye, "don't you see, tho cow stands on ice." Wo saw tho joke and pulled out to mako room for another greeny, for they were quite abund ant, aud most of them come from tho bunchgrass country. Hiidence BuiiNKi). "Tho resi dence of Thomas Taylor, wh resides about twenty miles west of Eugene, burned to the ground Monday fore noon, together with all its contents, says tho Eugene Register. It caught liro about ton o'clock Monday fore noon aud is thought it must have been caused by a defective Hue. Mr. Taylor aud his brother were about 200 yards from tho houso digging potatoes aud tho remainder of tho family were at the house but tho lire burned so rapidly that they saved only a small amount of bedding. Tho loss will bo nearly $1000, with a small amount of insurance in tho State Insurance company of Salem. Tho loss is a heavy one to Mr. Tay lor and it is hoped he will receive all that is duo him from tho Insurance company." It is an assured fact that Mr. Taylor will receive every cent due him if his case is a just one. Tho State never falls to do full jus tice In their losses. Ed. Sti:aiincj Chickens. One night last week some unknown person or persons entered tho chicken coop of Thos Walker, who resides about ono mile and a half northeast of the fair grounds, and took forty chick ens. Tho variety of chickens stolen being a very quiet one, and will not make any noiso when picked up, tho thief had a good show to get away with them. In tho evening, after Mr. Walker and family had retired for tho night, ;ho chicken coop was raided without them hear ing any noise. Tho next morning Mr. walker went to liU work as usual aud Ids wife, on (ceding tho chickens, found forty lino chickens missing. No clue to the thief. A GuitOMo With Each Lot. .Tho Oregon Laud company aro al ways ottering great inducements t thoso who wish to invest in Oregon real estate but tills week they aro offering an untold bargain in some of their lots. With each lot sold the company liavo mado arrangements to furnish a handsome? chromo or photograph of tho treasurer, Mr, Chas. Moores. Mr. Moorea being a popular man the inducement will no doubt effect many sales. Charlie was wearing one of his pleasant smiles at tho tlmo tho photographer had him looking at tho "little bird" on top of tho camera. Wimui:ime.

Tho Tiventy-flrst Birthday of the A. 0. U. W., to ho Appropriately Ob served on the 27th inst. On tho 27th of this month the Ancient Order of United Workmen will have reached maturity; iu other words, will be 21 years old, and that organization, founded in such a small way by Father Upchurch, has in those 21 years reached grand pro portions aud is now recognized as one of the great fraternal aud beul ficiary orders of the country. The order is numerically aud socially very strong iu tins com munity, there beiutr two lodges in Salem, one lodge Protection No. 2 containing nearly 200 members, and Valley lodge ever 100 members. At the meetinc of Protection lodge last night it was determined to cele brate the 21st birthday of the order iu a luting manner, and, as tuc r.n falls on Sunday, the celebration wns set for Wednesday evening, the 80th, at their splendid hall in the State Insurance block. To that end a committee of arrangements was ap pointed, consisting of Ad. Dilley, Kraiik Davey und John M. Chae, whose duty it is to arrange a pro gramme and provide such an enter tainment as will be enjoyed by jtie.sH and becrcditable to the lodge. The order for the evening will be : literary programme, tmpper and dance, aud those who have attended at such occasions in the past will an ticipate this event with pleasure. A ft; lure of the literary program will be an address by ono of the most prominent speakers to be had, touch ing the history of the order, its aims, objects aud success; songs by some of the most accomplished vocalists of the city, recitations by several young ladies and music by a full orchestra. The programme will appear in the Capital Jouiinaij in due time. For the supper, the ladies "attarh ed" to the order can be trusted to irovlde amply aud acceptably, further pattlculars will bo given as they develop. Oregon School Land Assist ant Commissioner Stone at Wash ington has rendered a decision in the case which involved the question of proof in the school indemnity selections in Oregon. The decision reads thus: "Oregon was granted every sixteenth and thirty-sixth taction of laud for school purposes. Tho law also provides that, in case any of these lands have been entered uuder tne puunc land laws prior to the date of the grant, tho state should be entitled to indemnity therefore aud might make indem nity selections from any unoccupied public lands. In pursuance of this authority the stale, it appears, selected in the aggregate a largo tract of laud upon which expired pre-emption tilings were on record. The question at issue was whether the burden of the proof of tho fact that tho tilings had expired rested with the state or with the parties who mado the tilings. Tho assistant commissioner holds i. favor of the state, aud has directed that iu all such cases the pre-emptor shall bo required to appear before the local laud olllce within twenty days after receipt of ihe notice and show cause why the entry has not been cancel ed, thus throwing the burden of proof upon the entryman." It is said that there aro a large number of cases in the general land olllce which will be disposed of thus. Articles of Incckpoiiation.

GRAIN FIELDS ltURNEI) OVER. ' A (hirMion llctwcen Par mors and the Railway Companies The .Matter Liable to Cause Trouble. "In several parts of Oregon dur ing the last summer gram crops in ; the Holds were destroyed by sparks from locomotives, says the Oregon Ian. There appears to bo no statute in this state requiring the railroad companies to pay lor looses or dam ages thus caused, though, doubtless, payment could be enforced under the rule ot common law. Among the losers in Oregon last summer was Mr. J. II. Carse, of Carlton, Yamhill county. To hisapplication for reimbursement for his loss, Mr. It. Koehler, of the Southern Pacific, lias made the following answer: Portland, Or., Oct. 9, 1889. Mr. J. H. Carse, Carlton, Or. Dear Sir: I have catefully consid ered the reported loss by fire, which is alleged to have occurred on July .'list, and to have destroyed some of your crop and fenci, and, for the purpose of compromise only, I proller toadmlt that there were: 5) acres of wheat In shock destroyed (estimated at 100 bushels at 05 cents) - 88 00 37 rods of fence at 20 cents - 7 40 Total $95 40 From the fact it appears that wo have exercised due diligence and care in the opeialion of our trains; our engine was in good order and provided with proper spark arrester, but it is quite likely th.it the tiro would not have occurred sit all had you not cultivated a part of our risht of way and thus contributed to the destruction by reason of your grain stubbies to the railroad track. But moved by the desire of a pur chasing peace and avoiding long and vexatious litigation. 1 came to the conclusion to make you the proposi tion that we should equally divide this Ios and I am therefore willing, if you accept, to pay you one-half of 'the above amount, to-wit $47.70. This is made va an oli'er of com promise and shall not bo made use of iu case of any litigation. Very truly yours. It. Koehler, Manager. Mr. Carse has declined to receive I ho amount tendered as satisfaction for his claim, and it is probable Mint a suit at law will be the consequence." At the timcof the numerens Hies it was understood (hat the railroad companies would pay all losses, but now it looks as if the farmers who lost their grain and fences will be verv poorly recompensed for the same.
