Grant could give Northern Pacific half of Columbia River land
A Pendleton observer argues a government grant to the Northern Pacific would require giving away alternate land within 40 miles of a new Columbia River line. He contends the old U S promises would strip vast tracts from northern Oregon, reducing vacant lands and reshaping irrigation and settlement prospects across Umatilla and nearby counties.

Land filing barred for spouses in reservation claim
A decision from the general land office holds that both husband and wife cannot file on the same reservation land. In the case Ben Burroughs v Rose Carroll, each spouse entry was blocked, since a wife's home is constructive with her husband. The ruling suggests a preference right for the plaintiff to file on the contested claim. The note mentions further similar contests and advises couples to maintain harmony after marriage. Electric Bitters is praised by S. A. Brown as restoring his wife’s health after liver issues. Me. and Mrs. John Keen have returned from Portland.
