Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1910-04-14

Washington, April 5. - With his
main object to prevent vote on bill,
Senator Hepburn, Of Idaho, for three
hours today held the floor of the senate.
He began his address shortly after the
senate convened, to prevent balloting
on Senator Warren's measure authoriz-
ing the sale of the surplus waters of
government irrigation projects, but he
gave much attention during his speech
to his proposed amendment to the rail-
road bill providing for public lands
court.
This line of discussion was continued
when, at o'clock, the railroad bill
was taken up, SO the change of sub
jects was only technical.
Advocates of state regulation and
control Of water power development
have decided to concentrate their ef-
forts to pass what is known as the
Smoot bill, the measure agreed upon
by the subcommittee of the senate pub
lie lands committee, appointed to
frame the conservation legislative pro-
gram. 1t is realized that the bill may
require some amendment, for discus
sion is sure to bring out its defects and
shortcomings. Nevertheless, the un-
derlying principle is approved by those
who believe in state, rather than ma
tional, control Of water powers, and
the fundamental ideas will be pre-
served if the great majority of West
ern senators are able to dominate the
situation and bring to their support
enough Eastern and Southern votes to
route the advocates of "Pinchotism.

is NEAT CALENDAR
Easily Made and One Of Most Useful
Articles on Young Lady's Desk
-ThinpS Needed.

One Of the most useful things a girl
can possibly have for her desk Ii q
calendar blotter. How often when wri.
ting letter does one have to stop and
think what day Of the month It Is. and.
although there may be q calendar In
the desk there are surely many times
when 1t cannot be found at the mo-
ment 1t is needed. And the plotting
paper is often old and nearly worn out
before one remembers to get a new
piece. Both Of these little troubles are
done away with by having a calendar
o.ottcr
The blotter can be made with either
IL sheets Of plotting paper or six. &C.
cording to whether its owner writes
much or little, and also whether she
uses up plotting paper quickly or not.
There Is very great difference be-
tween people on this question. The
sheets of paper may also either be
large enough to nearly cover the desk.
or there may be small pieces that are
picked mp and laid over the writing to
blot 1t. II the large sheets are used
they must be kept in a drawer Of the
desk at one end and one taken out as
1t Is needed; but the small ones can be
fastened together at one end, the
whole pad kept on the desk and one
sheet torn of when wanted.
To make the blotter all that is need
ed is pad calendar. and the right
quantity of plotting paper. Choose the
latter by the color of the decoration OF
your room and the calendar size by
whether your blotter is to be large or
small. II there are to be IL sheets Of
the paper paste one page of the calen-
dar on the upper left-hand corner OF
each piece Of paper. II there are to be
only six pieces of paper paste the jan
uary pages Of the calendar in the up
per left-hand corner and the February
page In the upper right-hand corner.

MAY SETTLE S.P. SUITS

The annual report of the attorney
general of the United States indi-
Gates that all signs favor the
compromising of the suits brought
by tie government against the
Central Pacific railroad for the
canceling of patents to valuable
mineral lands in Cling house,
Ramsey and other mining districts
in Nevada.
The lands patented, and for
which patents have been applied
/: for, land preliminary steps taken
toward issuance are within the belt
forty miles wide, traversed by the
railroad in crossing Nevada.
Every odd numbered section in
this entire mammoth checker
board, as granted to the railway
company as bonus for construct
ing the road, the government
agreeing to patent in due time
provided the land proved to be
more valuable for agricultural
than for mining purposes the only
two minerals excepted in this
provision being coal and iron.
That portion of the attorney
generals report referring to the
suggested compromise is as follow
"Twenty-fuor cults in equity
have been brought and are pending
in the district of Nevada against
the Central Pacific Railway COM
pany and othres for the purpose
of annuling patents issued. t. the
railway company under the acts of
July 1862 and July 2 1864. Thc
9ravamen of these suits lies in
the Allegation that the patents
conveyed land which was chiefly
valuable for mineral and known to
be such at the time when they
were issued. The acre age involved
is very large and the litigation is
regarded as having an important
bearing upon the development of
the mining industry of the state.
A number Of the cases are at issue.
and in some of them the govern
ment has already completed the
taking of it's testimony. The
department is prepared to proceed
vigorously if called upon but the
present indications are favorable
to general compromise which
will result in the restoration to the
public domain of practically all OF
those portions of the areas involved
which may fairly be regarded as
mineral land"
1t is claimed by some mining men
that patents have been secured by
the Central Pacific company
through disappearing the nature
Of the ground which was not of an
agricultural nature but contained
mineral lodes of great value. The
efforts to obtain patents in ding
house and White Horse district in,
this state have seriously impeded
the development of properties
there through The difficulty in
obtaining investment money while
titles remained in douDt.-Gazette.
