OREGON LAND GRANTS.
Eight Monster Gifts of Public Land to
the Corporations.

The Portland Oregonian, in recent
review OF land frauds in Oregon, says
of the land grants made in this state
in the past:
Eight land grants We're made in Or
egon between 1864 and 1870, three of
them to railroads, that of the Oregon
& California, from Portland to the
southern tsate boundary, being the
equivalent of strip SG2 miles long by
20 miles wide Go alternate sections
on each side of the road, with a To-
mile indemnity strip outside that
limit); the Oregon Central, from Port
land to McMinnville. 40 miles, having
the same breadth; and the Northern
Pacific, from Portland to Goble, 40
miles long and of that width also.
Not all the lands in these limits could
be secured by the railroads, because
either occupied by settlers or because
the three grants overlapped each
other, but I0-mile indemnity strips
were granted, and between 5000, 900
ard 100000 acres We're obtained.
The railroads were built, but the
lands were not devoted to the pur-
poses for which congress intended
them. They We're to be sold only to
actual settlers, IN tracts of not more
than 1f0 acres to one purchaser and
for not more than $3.50 an acre, but
these restrictions have been evaded
ard probably at last successfully null,
lifted by the companies. Meanwhile
the great bulk of the land is retained
and the Southern Pacific has refused
in inc last three years to sell lands of
the Oreson & California and the Ore
gon Central.
More flagrant still has been the
record of the five wagon road grants,
which extend east and west over the
state. The roads were not built as
agreed; in fact for the most part they
were not built at all. These grants
were one from Albany to the eastern
boundary of the state; another from
Eugene, and third from The Dalles
to that line: one from Roseburg to
Coos Bay, and another from Corvallis
to Ydquina bay. The theoretical area
within all the wagon road tracts was
a5out 100000 acres, made up of al
ternate sections within three and siN
mile limits,

BARBERS ADVANCE PRICES.
Haircuttimg S5 Cents After Next Sat.
nrday, January 5.

By official action of the BARRIERS of
Pen6leton, taken last night the price
OF haircutting has been raised from
% to S5 cents. The new deal will
go into effect on Saturday, January
5, consequently those having locks re-
quiring the shears will do well to
visit a tonsorial shop before that
date. Aside from the advance in
haircutting that of facial massage
has heen raised to so cents and those
who have razors of their own will
have to pay SO cents to have them
honed at any shop within the city.
Some time last summer an attempt
was made to advance the local tom
serial prices, but the movement fail
ed. This time the BARRIERS declare all
are in on the deal. The price of shaw
ing has not been changed.

February and figure out the price to
be charged for grain bags in 1897.
While we nave to pay $27 bale 6or
jute as against SIS last year, the board
can figure saving of something like
$3.50 month on power and this will
be figured out of the expense of pro-
dnction which will take so much off
the price of grain bags made at the
Institution,
while 1t is probable that grain
bags may lie higher than last year, II
is possible that penitentiary bags may
be considerably lower than the trust
price,"

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as TO many
OF the so-called patent medicines CON
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals OF more or
less influence. this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention TO this subject, 1t has, in.
considerable measure, resulted IN the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected OF containing the Injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
N. Y, rtook time by the forelock," as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients Of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has com
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermOre, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper. 1t will be seen that
the, medicines contain no alcohol or
otl.. ht0it-fJrming drugs. Neither do
the contain any narcotics or Injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots Of
medicinal plants found growing in tho
depths OF our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead OF alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, az In obstinate
cases Of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionablo from It's tendency to produce a
craving for stlmulants, DR.. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerlne, which OF itself Is q valuable
remedy in many cases Of chronic diseases,
being superior demucent, antseptc,
antiferment and supporting nutrltiye.

HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention as
Well as Good Soil.

Did you ever see a rosebush which
despite the most beneficent environment
Of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never TO achieve a healthy

A ton of manure will not help a plant
that has canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect
You cannot cure Dandrunf and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and

you must lock to the cause OF the

Democrats May Decide.

As there are but 25 republican sem
ators, aside from Mays who will not
likely attend because of his recent
conviction, Haines has a majority of
his partisan brethren. However, it
REQUIRES IL votes to elect president,
without Mays, or 16 with his vote.
deadlock over the presidency 1t is
rumored that the opponents to Sena
tor Haines will refuse to go into eau
Gus. Should they do so and the con-
test be waged in the senate itself the
balance of power will be held by the
democratic senators.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-03

That Senator Haines is now leading
the race for the presidency of the up
per house in the legislature. is declar-
ed by local men who have but recent
ly returned from Portland. Just now
the City of Roses is the center of much
political activity and it has become
Mecca for legislative aspirants. But
recently a prominent Umatilla county
man was in the metropolis and while
there he was shown through the
stables where the various political
roadsters are being groomed for the
event at Salem on January IA. Being
intimate with many of those who en-
joy the sport and with some who may
go upon the track themselves, he had
an opportunity to size up the situa-
ton at close range.
At present the race for the presiden-
cy evidently lies between Haines and
Hodson, of Multnomah, though the
former seemingly has much the bet
ter prospects. Senator Hodson Is
handicapped by the fact that his own
delegation is divided. Aside from his
own vote he is said to possess three
more. But there are two. those of
Messrs. Malarkey and Nottingham
upon which he has no lien. In fact,
Dan ]. Malarkay is somewhat of
candidate himself though he is said
to be making no efforts towards land
ing the toga. However, should a dead
lock occur among the republicans 1t
is possible he may be entered as a
dark horse. That he would show some
speed as much is generally known.
Senator Whealdon, of Wasco, is an
other who has been accused of desir-
ing to preside over the deliberations
of the state senate. But the friends of
Senator Haines say he is with them
and whether such is true or not, it is
evident he is not a very active candi-
date just now.

Good Record

M It was noted, to the credit of the
discharged men Of the Sixth infan-
try, that the relief of over 100 men at
one time from the restraints of army
life was not accompanied by scenes
of disorder Of any kind. It is rare
that SO many men can be turned
loose after years of strict discipline
without q natural tendency to raise
a little hades. Such being the case
the city authorities added men to
the police force in order to be- on
the safe side. but there was no occa-
sion, as it turned out, for this pre-
caution the men behaving in a way
which rejects credit upon them, their
late officers and the army in general.
The Tribune stated when they came
here, that the men of the Sixth were
an exceptionally fine lot, from COM
mandant down, and it has had NO oc-
casion to revise its opinion since. \

Great Transformation.

Editor Tribune: In this mornings
issue of your paper + noted a very In
teresting historical document pub
.lished by Curator Fish Of the States
Historical society, namely the. report
of Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter, county
superintendent in the year 1873. The
report shows only one school in Bur
leigh county at that time, and follow
Ing this report was a comparison be-
tween the school population, etc, at
that time and the present. q
The comparison Is interesting. but
1t failed to take into account the fact
that. Burieigh county, in 1873, was
about twice its present area.
Through the courtesy Of Gen. e. A.
Williams, who was a member Of the
legislature at the time. the writer Is
informed that Burleigh county was
created by legislative act Of january
Y. 1873 According to this act it In
5cluded all Of the present Emmons
county excepting the 1--WE townships
on Its south side; all Of present Bur
leigh county executing range rs, and
including about i've townships In the
southwest part Of Mclean county.
The report Of Mrs. Slaughter, show
ing that III 1873 all this territory
had only one school and no school
expenses, IS historically interesting,
and goes to show what a transforma-
ton this country has witnessed In the
last thirty years. Very truly,
