the company is now STRANGELY eager
to pay. which change of heart ia
credited bv the settlers and their
attorneys to be due to the hopa of thus
defeating the conditions of the primary
grant law.
In Oregon the theory Of attorneys
for the settlers who have gone onto
the grant lands is that the railway
company held merely as trustee aud
should not be assessed by the local
authorities. This trust theory is COM
bsted 7isorously by the company
officials. While they felt that the
grant conveyed perpetual title they
were glad to leave their lands nm
patented. so that they could not be
reached by local assessors. But as
soon as the grant is attacked and is
charged with being nothing but a
conveyance in trust the railway COM
pany officials are breaking all records
IN paying taxes on its holdings.
3 If the Oregon condition to the grant
laws could be applied to the grants
made in other states. there would be
no nee1 OF the law that has been
passed bv Congress to compel passing
all such lands to patents. The COM
oanies in those states would lie crowd
ng the assessor to raise the assess
nent. so as to fortify title in every
way possible.

To Improve Public Health

People of Oregon are to be educated
on hyRienic matters as to ways of
protecting themselves from commu-
nicable diseases. the instruction to
o1me from the State Board of
Health. which outlined a campaign
for that purpose at its quarterly meet
ing held at Medford.
Farmers especially are to be en-
lightened concerning methods of pre-
venting communication of disease
from animals to man. Among the
methods planned for doing this will
be the inauguration trains sent out to
teach farmers how to farm scientif-
cally. There will also be lectures
and exhibitions of models by experts
to be employed by the board to attend
the farmers institutes.
Among the important topics to be
dealt with in this campaign of educa-
tion will be the determination Of
house-fiies, and how best to prevent
tuberculosis and typhoid fever
1t is planned to have prepared small
models of sanitary bungalows for use
of people with weak lungs to demon
strate to them how they may guard
against lung diseases The board
will also try several makes OF paper
cuDs, to be used only once like nap
kins, and then destroyed. These. it
is planned, will be introduced into
schools to guard against the spread
of disease through drinking water.
It was the opinion of members Of
the board that the use of tin buckets
and pans for transporting berries to
the canneries should be condemned.
as the acid, it is believed, acting ON
the tin, may form lead poison. which
will be transmitted to people eating
the fruit later.
Ordinary cloth napkins were dis
credited by members of the board,
who advocate the use of the paper
article in public places, AMI at homes
where napkins may become mixed.
e Dangers arising from slack methods
in the slaughter of animals will also
be taught to the public ~ the Board
Of Health. The attention of the
board has been called to slaughter
houses where wells have been dug so
close to places where waste meat and
blood are deposited that the water
must become impregnated with its
ilth This water, it is said, is used
BY employees for washing the meat and
heir hands before the meat is
handled. Such slaughter houses will
)e forced to improve conditions at
,nce.
Schools throughout the state will
.eceive especial attention from the
State Board of Health. A systematic

Oregon Not Largely At
fected.

Oregon is not largely affected fol
the present, in the bill passed by
Congress requiring immediate survey
and patenting of grant lands, thai
local communities may levy taxes
against such holdings. In the list oi
unpatented lan1s furnished by the
Interior Department but 28O 1856 acres,
of the Oregon & California holdings
are set forth as subject to the provi-
sions of this new bill. Practically
all this land is merely grant, which
the company cannot press to patent
now, because the indemnity sections
selected are yet unsurveyed by the
Government, or no indemnity acreage
is available.
Only few years ago Oregon had
bitter complaint to make on this
score. OF the 100 600 acres in the
Oregon & California grant, from 20 tc
25 years vera permitted to laEse
without the company taking patent
for any more of the land than had
been sold. or was ready to be sold at
once. During this quarter Of a
century, when the company was
carrying its vast holdings under mere
title of u grant law, to keep them
off the Assessors taxroll or for other
purpose, the citizens made many COM
plants. From 1890 on, the bulk of
the acreage given in both the East
and the West Side grants was patent
ed by the company. Since then such
portions as have not been sold have
been subject to taxation by the local
authorities, except something less
than 300. 900 acres, which the company
cannot yet pass to patent.
In the original grants, the odd sec
ons for all lands lying within 20
miles of either side of the railway
lines was embraced. Where such odd
sections had already passed into
private ownership the grantees were
given an indemnity selection in the
strips of land 10 miles wide on the
outer edge of the grant. Not being
permitted to go beyond these indemnity
strips, which have a maximum dis
tance of 80 miles from the railway
line, and surveys in some portions of
these strips by the Government being
slow, the company has been unable
to make it's indemnity selections for
all the land conveyed by the grant.
While the fraud upon Oregon of
grant lands from patent
to aviod taxation ceased from 10 to 20
years ago. up to the time of bring
ing the suits by a number of settlers
to compel the company to convey
these lands to actual entrymen upon
tender of 50. so an acre. in the year
1907, the Oregon & California had |
paid but about so cents an acre on its
average holdings of the grant region. !
During those days the company |
that the grant was going to
be perpetual, and not in trust for the /
settlesr who would claim it, and that .
forfeiture would be impossible.
Since the suits were filed and the
later began its forfeiture /
the railway company has
shown the greatest solieitude known .
in the West to pay the taxes on these \
ands. In some instances its officials .
nave oo-operated eagerly with county .
officials in having the tax rate in
,reased. with what is supposed to be

much as the maximum price which /

and under the terms Of the grant.

Every Monday, as soon court assemblies, II
is the custom to read decisions on cases witch
have been considered and on "hlch 'he court
is to pass judgment. If the decision OF great
case is expected the courtroom always Is crowded
and the members of the bar, newspaper men an"
others who have been present before on IKE
occasions. look anXiously to see which Judge IS
TO read the important decision. If any one OF
three four justices is to read 1t there IL DIS
tinct sense of disappointment. because nobody
except the reading Judge is likely to hear the
decision. In other words some of the judges or
the supreme court have such weak voices that
not the men closest TO them can catch what
they say and everybody must wait until the deci-
sion can be read before knowing what 1t means.
This inability or perhaps lack of desire on the
part Of some CT the justices to read out loud, is
great trial 80 the newspaper correspondents who
are anxious to telegraph the news of the decision
at the earliest moment possible. There are other
troubles which besCt the correspondents as well
those which come from the poor enunciation
ard the weak voices of some Of the justices.
Legal language is the hardest kind of language
for the ayman to understand, and the result is
that when the decision is read the first part OF
occasionally makes it seem certain that side
has the case, while the tail end of the deci.
sion may reverse everything and give the case
to the other side

The newspaper correspondents from the great

The group on the porch was talk

storekeeper was telling a story.
There was Teller travelin' through

Louis POst-Dispatch. He was
stranger in these parts. One day he
came across bunch O hawgs that
had big Sits in their ears He tiggered
at them Sits They was too big fer
brands. What else could they be?
After a bit a native come down the
trail Jess lookin' at them hawgs,
said the stranger. You was says the
native. Dye min tellin' me what

said the stranger, Not at ALL says

says the native, that's it. We have

There was a salvo of very hearty
outdoor laughter at this, and Mr.. Ant

THAT remin's me of one they used
to tell down on the Arkansas line"
he said. There was a Teller goin'

There was about 30 of 'em. and they

would spin aroun on their noses,

The traveller watched them hawgs fer
10 minutes, an the more he saw of.
EN- the more they puzzled him.
Finally he went on through the
woods till he came to a house There
was man out in front. He was
baskin' in the sun. Is them your

proceeding would be dubbed undignifed, and
Judge White manages to control his flow of wit
when in court, but when the tribunal is not in
session he gives his mood full play.
Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, Of Of
the most distinguished American scholars and
one of it's rarest humorists, has great deal OF
the fun of his father in him, but selfconfessedly
he tries to hold its expression in check on many
occasions because it might be said that he
trying to make Oliver Wendell Holmes the
second appear Oliver Wendell Holmes The
first, and this the present justice modesty holds
to be impossible.
Not lcog ago a lawyer went to the residence
of of the associate justices of the Supreme
court, a married man and who the lawyer
thought the staidest of the staid. The Wis
itor had gone to the justice to get some ad
vice on behalf Of person who he know was
family friend CT the one of whom he was seeking
advisory help.
1t seems that the mans wife had died, and
while the husband a kindly disposed and
most excellent man generally, his fathern-law
and mother-nlaw insisted taking the chill
dren who had been left motherless. The wild
over did not want to part with his children and
neither did he want TO make fight which
would bring the children into public notice and
show that he had had breach with his wife's
father and mother.
The lawyer who calling the justice
said, What would you do if your fatherin-law
and motner-inlaw your wifes death tried to
get your children away from YOU" The answer
came quick and sharp I'd tell them to so to the
devil"
Now it happened that the Justices wife
sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at this strong
expression from the judicial minded looked
with trepidation at Mrs. Justice. expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her hus-
bands outbreak The visitor relieved and
also somewhat surprised when Mrs. Justice said.
I'D tell them to go to the devil, too"
The household court being thus unanimous,
the lawyer went away and gave advice to his
client and the presumption is that within day
or two the father-in-aw and motherin-!aw went
to the devil.
The justices Of the Supreme court put on their
robes in a room which is across the main corri-
dor of the capitol from the courtroom. In order
to reach the bench they obliged to cross the
