News comes that Ferra, who figured In General Lee's report of the Ruiz case, and who was In jail with the tin fortunate American In Guanabacoa at the time of Ruiz's death has been arrested quietly, probably as a warn ing to him and others that while Spain consents politely to a frco American investigation she has her own ideas about the duty of her sub jects in a case of this kind. Ferra asserts that he Is an American citi zen, but not registered. It is a'lso said that since Mr. Cal houn's arrival and Just before General Leo began his Investigation word had been passed down the line that all persons who talked over much about foul play will hear from it later, no matter how prodigal the American government may be with promises of protection at any cost.

L ESTATE, Is Now Beginning to Move, A Salem Firm- Sells a Large Tract Near Scio, Ileal estate h: s been a drug so long that actual sales create 'surprise and are a sure indication that an upward tendency In values Is setting in. F N. Derby & Co, the Capital city real estate firm, has Just closed a deal transferring 2 470 acres choice farm ing lands In ono tract near Scio, on the forks of the Santlam, to Min neapolis patties for $33,t00 cash. Dr. A. F. Hlnz and Mr. M. A. Lang, representatives of the St. Michael's Colony Co , have spent some time at Salem and Albany looking over large tracts, suitable for a colony of 140 families of German -fanners who are coailng to Oregon in a body. The lands comprise the Harry Shclton estate, tho Win. Cyrus estate, and thoT. D. Plckford estate about four mile! southeast of Scio, on Crab tree creek. Tho Albany papers aro claiming the credit of this big sale, but It was made and closed by the Salem firm above named. Mr. F. N. Derby and Jefferson Myers, are both Salem real estate men, and they are very much pleased with the result, as It will sunply a very desirable class of Immigrants with farm homes In tho best kind of a farming country. This Sam firm Is thoroughly ac quainted with the best valley lands, and was able to direct tho managers of tho colony to a choice tract of good land In the Forks ot the Santlam which could bo obtained at reasonable figures. The colony, which will consist' of 140 families of well-to-do Industrious Bavarian German families, will arrlvo this fall and next spring. Tho lands were selected with a view of raising hops, fruit, gardening and dairying. They come from the stato of Minne sota, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ne braska, and will go to work to carve out comfortable homes. Tho lands, which -aro very fertile, aro already partially improved, will bo divided up into small tracts, each family be ing allowed what they can till them selves. Tho chief advantages which at tracted the colonists to Linn county were competing transportation lines, both on rail and water, the rich boII In tho very heart of the "Willamette Valley, and tho low rate of taxes In Linn county, resulting from econom ical management of county affairs. Tho promoters of tho colony enter prise say that tho departure of tho colonists for Oregon will bo followed by hundreds of other homo 6eekers who will come to Oregon within tho next year. Many of them will, lb is believed, alsolocatoin Marlon county, Mr. Lang and Dr, ninz, who havo charge of tho -colony enterprise, aro woll Informed, wide-awake business men and courteous gcntl6men, and seem to be tho right men to carry tho undertaking to a successful term ination.
