"The purchase of the grant is
closed so far as the Minnesota cap
italists who have been looking IT
over are concerned" stated Colonel
G. p. s. Wood in an interview given
to the Portland Telegram when
speaking for the purchase of the
Military road grant sale. 1--WE ex-
pect to receive an acceptance of the
offer by wire within a few days, and
just as soon as we can get down TO
it, the vast tract will be placed on
the market in numerous cities at one
time. 1t will be the first move to-
ward the great scheme of upbuilding
Oregon, which Mr.. Hill has had in
mind for some time and 1t is only
natural that his close intimates
should be the first to know what his
definite plans are. Such, and no
more, are the connections between
the buyers of the big tract and the
Hill forces.
"As representing the Boise II
Western, can say frankly that con-
struction will begin just as soon as
the engineers find out what is the
most practicable route to follow in
the swing across the state. I don't
believe Mr.. Hill himself knows just
where the road is going. He has
simply decided to invade Oregon,
and he will build the road along the
route that the surveyors determine
to be the straightest, the one with
the easiest possible grades where the
most productive and resourceful re-
gions of the untapped empire can
be developed.
"While Coos Bay is named as the
present official western terminus, l
am not prepared to say that that
will be the point on the coast to
which the rails will actually be laid" "

M'ALESTER, Okl., June A-The firm of
McMurry, Mansfield G. Cornish, of which
J. Il. McMurry was a member, was dis
solved about a year ago. Since that time
McMurry has devoted himself largely to

for delegate to the last national convention,
but was defeated in the state convention.
During the Oklahoma constitutional con-
vention a commission was appointed by
William H. Murray, president of the con-
vention, with authority to investigate the
advisability of the purchase of the segre-
gated coal lands by Oklahoma.
The hearing continued several days and
at that time there were informal offers of
$40, O00, 900 for the lands.
About a year ago the Choctaw council,
presided over by Green McCurtain, chief
of the ChoctLw nation, adopted a resolu-
ton offering to sell the tribal property,
which consisted in part of the coal lands,
to the government for S6O,OOO,00O.

House Conferees
Win Struggle for
Reclamation Act
Provision Authorizes Issuance of $50,
100000 Worth Of Certificates
for Completion of Work.

WASHINGTON, June 24-The house CON
ferees won their fight for the house pro-
vision in the bill authorizing the issuance
of &O,O00OO worth of certificates OF in
debtedness for the completion OF existing
reclamation projects, on which IT is pro
posed TO spend the money as raised They
made the concessions, however, that the
provision should be modified 50 that the
power OF approving projects should rest
upon the presto ?nt alone. Tne house pro-
vision would have required the approval
also OF the army engineers.
The senate opposed turning over to army
engineers the question Uf examining and
approving projects, on the ground that
many OF the projects had been developed
to a point where they must be continued
according to the CrIgInal plans or all of the
money already invested would be lost
An effort To reconcile the differences
was made at the White House today, when
the president had the conferees to lunch
con- lie proposed that the question of
having the projects examined by the army
engineers be left to the discretion OF the
executive, and the senate conferees Were
willing 10 accept this suggestion.
The matter was not settled, however
until after another conference at the cap
itol, and the agreement resulted oniy after
still further concessions by the senate
conferees. After considerable debate the
senate accepted the conference report.

In lew days the Christmas gooc S

plating buying should make up their
minds to buy at once. Another
thing thss the early shoppers will
accomplish is that it gives the clerks
more time to wait on their custom
ers AMI they are thus enabled to
show the goods better and help the
purchaser select what he needs.
The early shopping plan will also
help and benefit the poor tired girls
who must stand behind a counter

the last moment, it will require hard
work on the part OF the clerks and

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

1t is said that in the upper air
all the varied sounds of earth,
however discordant blend into
one harmonious strain This for
IDLY illustrates the spirit of
Christmas. which is that of peace
and harmony.
The discord aud rivalrIes Of the
business and social world are SUBJ
dued when the Christmas bells
usherin the day. which more than
any other day IN the year speaks
of peace aud good will.
Men may differ in their tLeO-
logical conception of Christ, yet
all regardless Of creed regard
him as the supreme central figure
in the worlds history, and his in
fiuence the most benign aud pow
erful.
Today knowledge and science
brings Its wisdom aud gifts apd
lays them at the feet of the Christ
child just as the wise men did 2
thousand years ago, and the mas
ses however much they may be
enstranded from the various
churches, bow in alteration at the
mauger as did the shepherds of
old.
This is no sentimentallsm on
their part but the natural result
OF the truth that the spirit of the
Corist is surely leaving all man
kind and leaving the impress of
his own likeness.
