THANKa to the courtesy of Senator Mtnderson , wo are in receipt of a copy of the bill H. H. 7004 , "To repeal all laws providing for the pre-emption of the public lands and the laws allowir.g entries for timber culture"as it passed the senate. The senate made sonic amendment's which will be probably con curred in or arranged by a committee of conference , and it will doubtless become a law substantially as it stands before the adjournment. Section 1 repeals the various sections of the revised statutes permitting the entry of public lands by prc-emptort , with a proviso that it shall nut affect any valid rights heretofore acquired or accruing under said laws , but all bona fide claims lawfully initiated before the let of July of this year may be perfect ed. Another proviso permits all per sons who have not availed themselves o the privileges of the pre-emption laws to make a second homestead entry it lieu of the privilege repealed. Section 2 repeals the timber culture laws and has a similar proviso that the repeal shall not affect bona iidc claims lax * fully initiated belorc 1st of July next Section 3 amends section 2301 so that "Nothing in this chapter shall be so construed as to prevent any person who has availed himself of the benefits ot section 2289 from paying the minimun price for the quantity of land so enter ed at any time after the expiration ol thirty calendar months from the date ol such entry and before the expiration o : five years , and obtaining a patent there i for from the government as in other cases directed by law on making prool of settlement and cultivation as provid ed by the law heretofore in force grant ing pre-emption rights. " Section 4 repeals an act to provide for the sale of desert lands in certain stales and territories , approved Marcl 3 , 1877 , with the usual proviso that it shall not affect the valid rights accrued or accruing under said law. or bona fide claims lawfully initiated before the 1st of July next. Section 5 provides that henceforth no public lands shall be sold at public sale or be subject to private entry except abandoned military or other reservations or lands of a special nature , the sale of which at public auction has heretofore been authorized. Section 6 amends the statutes so as to permit the settler on public lands , whether pre-emptor or homesteader , to transfer by warranty any portion of his claim for church , cemetery or school purposes , or for the right of way to rail roads , and such transfer shall not vitiate his claim to perfect his title. Section 8 is a very important enact ment and reads as follows : SEC. 8. That wherever lands have been withdrawn from sale or disposition on the part of the United States by rea son of grants made to aid in construc tion of railroads or other works of in ternal improvement , and such with drawals have been terminated by act of congress , executive order , or order of the land department , or where lands have been by operation of law reduced in price to one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre , and said lands have been purchased in good faith at said price , or entered with warrants or scrip , and the officers of the land department have issued certificates or patents thereon in accordance with such purchase or entry , without t > uch lands having firsD been proclaimed by the President and offered at public auction , and where , on the twenty-fifth day of January , eighteen hundred and eight3'-five , there were no valid conflicting claims thereto or settle ments thereon , all such entries , and the certificates and patents issued thereon , am hereby confirmed and declared valid and legal ; and all questions relating to such conflicting claims or settlements nhall be subject to adjudication and final decision in the department of the inter ior and the proper judicial courts ; and in case there is any actual settlement on any of such lands , in good faith , under the homestead and pre-emption laws of the United States , made prior to Janu ary 25 , 1885. the rights of such settler shall prevail against any previous entry at the price of one dollar and twenty- five cents per acre. The readers of The Journal will per ceive that the bill is a very important one. It appears to have been prepared with great care and will be generally seeeptcd in the west as a wise and time- lj measure. It will greatly ? tir up people ple who have not yet exercised the right of making a timber claim to get in their work before the 1st of July , and after tha't all unoccupied lands , except aban doned reservations and forfeited rail road grants , will be open to homestead ers and none olse. State Jourual. GALAXY of heroes whose blood has bc-n : sled in the Soudan war : Burnaby - by , Hicks , Karle , Stewart and Gordon , in the order of their departure , in addi tion to hundreds of England's "picked" soldiery. SENATOR MEIKELJOHN has introduc ed u bill in the State Senate prohibiting the playing of billiards in drinking sa loons. It is to be devoutly hoped that the measure may become a law. No amusements should be allowed in sa loon ? to draw thither the young. Bil liards and whisky should never be kept in the same building. This would be a great Ptridc in the matter of protecting the rising generation from the hydra- headed monster's relentless clutches. THE current issue of the New York Weekly Herald contains an apt illus tration of the situation in Soudan. The illustration is divided into two sections. The first one represents portly Johnnie Bull complacently poised on the recum bent form of a follower ot Mahomet , using a son of Islam , who has assumed a devotional attitude , as .a foot stool. The meanwhile a look of sublime com placency adorns Johnnie's beaming countenance. The Turk and Arab are both comparatively diminutive figures in this section. The aspect of section number two , which is illustrative of the British pobition as it actually exists , is very.difierent from figure one. In this , tin ? recumbent and puny figures of Turk and Arab suddenly and simultaneously assume a standing posture , indicative of their real might , much to the discom fort and discomfiture of Cousin John , who finds himself lliup , without warn ing precipitated from his self-elevated pinnacle of egotism to the dust of real ity and defeat. BEAVER BITS. Wore snow And a run away at Hamburgh. Wrn. Lfnlsey , Esq. , the unfortunate man. While transacting business at the P. 0. , Mr. Halsey's team ran away and broke one axle and one or more spokes out of u wheel belonging to his wagon , be'ond this no damage was done , unless Mi * . IL's having to walk home , a distance of about 4 miles , might be called damages. Our school closed , Jast Saturday. Mrs. Thompson has given general satis faction. Among those who witnessed the closing exercises on Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Townley , Mr. and Mis. V. C. Bodwcll , Mrs. A. P. Bod- well , Mrs. C. II. Russell , Mrs. J. Reeves , the Misses Ray and Bros. , Mr. and Miss Van Dyke. Master Fred and Roy Hen- dershot , Geo. R\an and sister , J. M. Haley and others. A good time is reported. C. H. Given has secured a good tract of land as a pre-emption , just over the line in Kansas. He will soon improve it-and call it home. Mrs. Given has been confined to her bed for several days ; but is rapidly recovering. II. W. Parker has sold one of his teams to some German friends of Mr. B. Lehn , price paid we understand to be $225.00. Prof. Lyon of Lebanon has organized a singing class which meets in our school house on Thursday 'evening of each week. On. last Thursday evening a full house was in attendance. Last Wednesday will long be remem bered by those who were in attendance at the grand dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Garrett. By way of brevity , we will simply say that that dinner was immense and we know whereof we speak. BE A VEIL Box JBIder islossoms. F.ev. Mann came out to his appoint ment , last Sunday. Rev.

Surprise parties are the order of the Jay , or the night rather , on the /jllow : I'he last being at the residence of Mr. \Yeygint. We learn that it was a com plete success. Miss Lou Chrysler closed her school n this ( list. , No. 3 , last Friday. An jntcrtainment was given in the eveniiiR to a large audience. The program con sisted of recitations and songs ; also an jssay by the teacher on education. The jxercises were interesting and well re vived by the audience. . \Ve suppose every one must know -hat the weather is cold and stormy , vith lots of snow ; so we will just say hat everything in this neck o' woods is still locked in old winter's icy embrace. The old fellow seems determined to sit n the lap of spring , but we are in hope hat old Sol's bright rays will soon hame him until he takes his departure or the north pole. Box Elder , ' Feb. 23.
