Charles V. Galloway, state land
agent of oregon, has prepared the
following brief statement on the state
and school lands of the state for the
benefit OF homeseekers:
The state lands OF Oregon are of
several different classes and may be
conveniently designated as school, in
demnity, university, college, swamp,
tide and overflow and farm lands.
Nearly all of the lands now for sale
by the state are of the two first
named classes.
The school lands consist OF the 18th
and S6th sections of each township,
the same having been granted to the
state by act of congress, approved
February IA, 1905. Indemnity lands
are such as may be selected by the
state to satisfy losses caused by settle
ment or reservation of or deficiencies
in the 10th and seth sections.
OF vacant and surveyed school lands
the state has now for sale approx
mately $4,000 acres. Excepting
about 5000 acres, all of these lands lie
east of the Cascade mountains; the
larger acreage being Malheur, Harvey,
Lake and Crook counties, with con-
siderable areas In Baker, klamath,
Wheeler and Grant. The remaining
counties OF eastern Oregon have a
comparatively small acreage Of school
land not within forest reserves, rang
ing from 500 to 5000 each.
State lands are sold under the direc-
ton of the state land board, compos-
ed of the governor, secretary OF state
and state treasurer. Inquiries and
communications regarding such lands
should be addressed to the clerk of
this board, whose office is at Salem,
Ore.
The uniform price of school lands
is now. $3.50 per acre. Payments is
permitted in five annual installments.
as follows: One-fifth of purchase
price in cash at time of purchase, one
fifth In one year with interest at 5
per cent per annum, one-fifth in two
years with interest at per cent, and
the remaining two-fifths of purchase
price on demand with interest at 6
per cent, interest on all deferred pay
ments payable annually.
With the acceptance of the appli-
cation to purchase and the first pay
ment certificate of sale is issued.
According to the new law, which went
into effect on May 25. 1907, the de-
mand payments will not be permitted
to stand for a longer period than five
years from the date of the issuance
of the certificate.

connection with the Pilot Rock dis
play at the district fair:
"The saloons Of Pilot Rock refused
to assist in the expense Of an exhibit
at the fair of the products of this
neighborhood.
"Their plant was that the saloons

day'-and the slot machines have
been put out of commission, and that
Pendleton is to blame, for the reason
that Pendleton wants to kill Pilot

RESCRIPT ANENT
TIDE-FLOWED LOT

Judge Tanner today handed down the
following rescript in the case OF Joseph
Benjamin VS. Theodore o. Gladding:
This is bill in equity brought to re-
strain the defendant from occupying. f,ll-
Ing In and building upon a certain tide
flowed lot. The defendant demurs TO the
bill on the ground that IL does not ap-
pear In the bill that the complainant has
the exclusive right OF filling in and oc-
cupying the water lot described in the
first paragraph Of said bill. We under
stand the defendant In the light OF his
argument TO mean that the accompanv-
ing sketch OF the water lot In question.
and the land adjacent thereto, shows that
the said water lot is appurtenant to the
land OF the defendant Immediately ad-
jacent thereto. and not adjacent or ap-
purtenant TO land OF complainant.
The complainant, however. states
In his bill that he has a deed conveying q
all the rights OF the original owner OF his
own land and that OF the defendant ada
cent TO said water lot We think there Is
no doubt that the owner OF uplands can
convey his rights In the tidc-nowed land
adjacent 10 the uplands. separate and
apart from the uplands
This being so. we think the complain
ant has stated such title TO the water
lot In question that II would entitle him
upon proof thereof TO enjoln the defend
ant from the acts complained OF. The
demurrer must therefore be overruled."
