section of the foothills of the Coast
range of mountains and open up a new
oil field. Los Angeles was the only
place that ! got any encouragement,
which was but little, inasmuch as I
was promised by one oil operator who
was interested in. number of good
wells, that after the oil became ex-
hausted, or nearly so, in the Puente
Hills of that county that he would
come and look over the prospects of
Douglas, county. A. party from Los
Angeles is here and prospecting for
petroleum, and coal, and whether sent
by above named party for the purpose
l have not had the opportunity as yet
to learn.
I will hire to locate wells in the
foothills Of this part of the Coast
range, and, on, another's land, and for
capital from anywhere or source. My
price for locating well is 5000, and
/ do not ask dollar until the first
sale of oil is made when it is run in
to the pipe line from the tank. Pro-
vided, first, that the man or company
agrees to provide the regulation ma
chinery, so that it can have the power
to drill deep well, if necessary from
the particular location.

PLEADS FOR, SETTLERS
Hawley Says Homesteaders Suffer
Shameful Neglect.

Arguments on behalf of the bill for
the relief of the original settlers on the
Siletz Indian Reservation, in, Oregon
were heard Saturday by the House
committee on public lands. Represen-
tative Hawley and A. w. Lafferty
made strong pleas for the settlers.
Representative Hawley presented to
the committee numerous affidavits of
Siletz settlers, as well as petitions to
Congress from the Governor of Ore
gon and other state officials, in sup
port of the pending bill.
Hawley, in his appeal, said the ST.
letz settlers had gone upon the land in
good faith, resided there as much as
physical conditions would permit and
contended that if the Government had
examined claims Immediately after
suspending them, instead of waiting
years, sufficient proof would have been
found to justify the issuance of pat
ent in many instances. He said the
Government had subjected the settlers
to shameful neglect. He made a plea
that the settlers whose rights are now
lHVOlNeu ndu maze honest ana nard
struggle to obtain title, were bona
f1de entrymen, entitled to the consid-
Grafton, and that If the pending entries
are cancelled the title ultimately must
pass to other individuals under the
law.
The Government would not profit by
taking the lands from these settlers to |
turn over to others, said the Repre-
sentative, and the whole question was
the settlers who have held
out so long should obtain this land, or
1t should be turned over to
new settlers or to contestants who
have not suffered privations of those
affected by the pending measure.
A. w. Lafferty dwelt particularly |
upon the facts in the cases of his |
clients among the Siletz settlers, but
also discussed the general situation,
up Hawley's argument.
The committee took no action on
the bill. Probably no further hearings
will be held.

HOP MARKET ACTIVE
Over 800 Bales Are Bought, Mostly

In spite of the Easter holiday in
England, hop trading of an export
character has continued steady
throughout the week, says the Oregon

pendence, Friday, the Kola Neis Hop

STATE MAY BUYORBUILD
AUTHOR OF LOCKS BILL EX-
PLAINS IT'S PROVISIONS.
Says False Reports Are Circulated by
Enemies of Open River
Transportation.

ROSEBURG, Or, March 26-(To
the Editor. MANY people seem to
have gotten the impression that the
act appropriating 100000 for Free
Locks at Oregon City provided only
for the purchase of the old locks The
idea has been circulated by enemies of
the project who are opposed to the
opening of the Willamette to trans
portation under any circumstances. A
gentleman who was a member of the
Oregon Senate in 1907 and 1909, and
who did all in his power to defeat the
measure, is quoted to have said in q
speech last winter, at a banquet given
in honor of Congressman Hawley, that
the Jones bill only provided for the
purchase of the old locks, and that if
the measure had provided for the
building of new locks, he would have
supported it.
The act does provide for the build
ing of new locks, the matter being
left to the judgment of the Govern
ment engineers. The bill was drawn,
at my request, by Chief Justice r. S.
Bean. and he was very careful in pre-
pairing the measure. The act of 1909
only amends the old act, so as to keep
it alive until 1912, thus giving Con-
gress an opportunity to appropriate
like sum as the act of 1907, in which
the appropriation of 100000 by the
State of Oregon was made contingent
upon the Government appropriating a
0ll
act would have expired February 2S,
1909.
Section 1 of the Act of 1907 reads
as follows:
That the sum of $3OO,OOO is hereby
appropriated out of fund, to be
raised as hereinafter provided, to be
paid to the United States for the pur-
pose of assisting the United States in
acquiring by purchase, condemnation,
or construction, of a boat canal and
locks around the falls of the william
ette River at Oregon City, Oregon, and
all rights of way and property neces-
sary or convenient therefor, and
by the United States; provided, that
the United States shall, within three
years from the date of the passage of
this act, appropriate the sum of $780,
600, or sum sufficient to acquire by
purchase, condemnation or construc-
ton, a boat canal and locks around
the falls of the Willamette River at
Oregon City, Oregon, and all rights of
way and property necessary and con-
venient therefor, to be owned, operat-
ed and maintained by the United
States, free to transportation on said
River, said boat canal and locks to be
sufficient for the passage of all river
freight and passenger boats operated
by steam or otherwise. plying on said
river'
Section 1 of the Act amends Sec
ton 1 of the law of 1909 in this: III

ACROSS THE STATE
Hill May Build From Ontario to Coos
Bay.

PORTLAND, Or, March 29--That
James j. Hill will build an east and
west line of railway across Central
oregon, from Ontario to Coos Ray,
was stated on good authority during
the past week. The projected line will
connect with the Grand Trunk, the
Hill road now being built up the Dos
chutes, and with the Oregon Electric
in the Willamette Valley, believed to
be another Hill property.
This will mean a gridiron of new
railroads for Oregon during the COM
ing few years that will bring about a
development in this state never before
approached. All Central Oregon needs
is railroads; it has everything else but
people and the railroads will bring
them.
More Gasoline Motors.
An interurban service that is des-.
tined to meet the needs of the cities of
the state has just been announced by
the Hartman lines. Beginning this
week, gasoline motor cars will be put
in service on the main line of the
Southern Pacific between Ashland and
Grants Pass and another on the
Springfield branch between Albany
and Springfield. Another car of the
same type will be put on between
Pendleton and Umatilla on the o. r.
& NJ. within the coming week. These
motor cars are designed to handle To-
cal business in the territory they COW
er and serve the different commune
ties much in the same way as interur-
ban electric trains. They have been
found very convenient wherever tried
and will no doubt aid the development

New Records for Livestock.
