Congregational Church Free From
Debt

The report of Jay Matteson, clerk of
the board of trustees, presented at the
annual meeting of the First Congrega
tional Church and Society held Tues
day evening showed that every dollar
of the Indebtedness had been wiped out
and that for the first time in q quarter
of century the Society was free from
debt of any kind. Two years ago the
Indebtedness amounted to So, 600, Of
which $4, 700 represented the balance of
SO, 600 on the mortgaged Indebtedness.
To cover this pledges were given pay
able quarterly during two years, and
the report showed the entire amount
paid save $l23, part of which will be
paid later. To cover this deficiency
and some floating Indebtedness several
hundred dollars were solicited by the
trustees during the past week in order
to clear every debt. Special observance
will be made Sunday morning of this
event in the life Of the church and Rev.

THE OREGON RAILROAD LANDS
Congregational Action Explained

the Time.
7:30 o'cloCl, p. M.

Saginaw, West Side, Mich, Oct. D.
Editor Owosso Times:
AS per our conversation, | herewith
outline to you the so-called Oregon
Railroad land grant, about which INV
opponents are having so much to say:
In 1867 the Government set aside
certain lands in Oregon to aid in the
construction of railroad from Port
land, Oregon, to Sacramento, CAL,
and on to San Francisco. Two com
panies were organized about the same
time. One company began the con-
struction of railroad on the east
side of the Willamette River; the
other on the west side of that river,
both companies claiming the right 20
earn the land grant above mentioned.
They engaged in litigation over this
right and finally one company pur-
chased the property of the other
company and thus became the sole
claimant for the public land to be
given in aid of the roads construc-
ton. Much time elapsed while the
matter was being litigated in the
courts of Oregon. The representa-.
tives of the railroad company went 10
Congress and asked for an extension
of time to build the road in which to
earn the grant. Such extension was
granted in 1869, but in this extension,
limitation was placed, limiting the
amount of land that could be sold by
the railroad company to any one in
dividual to quantities not exceeding
100 acres and at price not to ex-
ceed $3.50 per acre.
The great Willamette Valley, one
of the richest agricultural districts in
the United States, came within the
limits of this railroad grant. The road
was built, the land grant was earned,

less than S11, 600 In excess of last year =
appropriation to meet county expenses,
although there is one item of $50, 900
for good roads. embraced this year,
that was of course not included in the
1911 budget
The amoant of the budget last year
was $7l, ,574.56 Last yesr $15, 900 was
raised to pay off an inetsllment of court
house bonds which have just been paid,
and this is missing this year, as the
next payment isn't due for two years.
There is also difference of $s,400 in
the contingent funds Of last year and
this year SEQ, 900 being raised in 1911.
The funds are fixed as follows: Off
GERS salaries, $98, 900; contingent fund,
$11, 900; county road fund. $50, 900; poor

More Light As To
Duty on Sugar Beets

The Payne tariff law Is the first
one in which sugar beets were ever
enumerated.
The bill as 1t came from the ways
and means committee, Of which
Cong Fordney was a member, pro-
vided duty of 25 per cent. It was
passed by the House in this form.
The Senate reduced the duty to
10 per cent.
In the conference committee
Cong. Fordnev made a strenuous
effort to have the duty fixed at 25
per cent. but the Senate members
refused to yield and by majority
vote the duty was fixed at 10 per
cent.
No sugar beets are being imported
under the Payne law. Probably
none ever will be 80 long as Ameri.
can farmers will grow them.
Michigan sugar factories cannot
afford to purchase Canadian beets
because the cost averages s1.4s
ton more than Michigan beets.

Mild Winter Predicted.

Capt. Guyman, of the Detroit
mounted police, is of the opinion that
We are going to have mild winter
He says:
"All our horses have failed to put
on any extra coats this fall. Last
year at this time we had to clip about
seven of our horses, as thew had ter
ribly thick coats, and all of the
horses had heavy coats at that time.
This year they have coats almost as
fine and light as in Summer. You
can't fool Mother Nature, and she is
not providing the horses with heavy
coats this fall. 1t means that we are
going to have a mild winter"

REPUBLICAN TO WIN
Conference Shows Outlook Good in
This County-A Full Vote Means
aCIean Sweep

A conference of the Republican coun.
ty committee and workers from the
different precincts of the county was
held Thursday afternoon in Corunna.
Reports were presented showing excel
lent prospects for Republican victory
in the county. 1t was admitted that
the vote on the presidential candidates
would be close with the probability of
a small plurality for Pres. Taft. As to
the state ticket little doubt was ex
pressed that the Republican candidates
would make good showing. Predic-
tions were made by several of the COM
mitteemen that Cong. Fordney would
receive more than his party vote All
present manifested great interest in the
success of the Republican legislative
nominees and the wish was generally
expressed that the party voters make
special effort to poll every vote possible
to ensure the election of the two candi-
dates and thus give two votes for the
return of VIM Alden Smith to the u.
S. Senate. Every report indicated but
little opposition to the Republican
county candidates, the voters generally
being will satisfied with the present
efficient officers who are candidates for
re election. With a full vote cast, the
belief was general that the Republican
ticket from top to bottom would win IN
thecounty.
The striking feature of the conference
was The report from nearly. all of the
number of Democrats who intend to
vote for President Taft and the Repub.
lican ticket. wishing to take no chances
on a reversal Of the present prosperity
This is feature of the campaign which
has been known for some time to the
committee and party workers and as
election cay draws near the number of
Democrats who are stating their inten,
ton to vote the Republican ticket is in
creasing.

CHANDLER ENDORSED FORDNEY.

Four years ago, A. l.. Chandler, vF
this city, was member OF the COM
mittee on resolutions at the 9Th dis
trict convention which elected the
delegates to the national convention.
That committee presented the follow

convention and it was adopted with
out question: 1--WE are proud of the
record of our distinguished represen-
tative in Congress, the Hon: J. W.
Fordney, and we note with satisfac-.
tom his advancement in the halls of
national legislation" Since that time
Congressman Fordney has been still
further recognized by being appoint
ed to the leading committee in the
House, and today is one of the rec
ognized leaders on the Republican
side. Besides that b gave months Of
hard work and st,>Ry to the prepara-
tion of tariff bill which amply cares
for every interest of his district and
state, and has been repeatedly thanked
by men all over the country for
the fairness he manifested in Sc
curing law which protected the
producers of other states as we'll.
Beside this he has been watchful for
the sugar industry-the Michigan su-
gar producer--and was easily one OF
the strongest opponents of Canadian
reciprocity. In addition he has look
ed after the welfare OF the veterans
in the way of pensions and pension
legislation, has cared for the postal
interests of the district as well az
any man could. and, to be short, is
now more than ever entitled to have
said of him just what the committee
