THOSE RAILROAD GRANT LANDS

If the Capital Journal had the solution to the o. & c..
land grant problem in its own hands, would turn them
over to the railroad company without any strings at
tached That would settle the question at and put
it squarey up to the company to work out its own saliva
tion
In common with a majority of the people of this
state believe the railroad company forfeited all claim
to the lands by failure to keep the covenants of the grant
Long drawn-out litigation however, has failed to estab
iSh this point the supreme court deciding that the title
is vested absolutely in the o. G. company, and that
the grant is rrevOcabe What then can be done?
The people have lost their main contention and there is
nothing to do but make the best of it, and the sensible
course would be to give up the losing fight.
Any legislation adverse to the companys claims will
only result in litigation, tying up the lands in-
definitely even for purposes of taxation.
If the lands are turned to the railroad company
no legal objection to their taxation could be raised and
the company would be forced to dispose of them at the
earliest possible moment in order to escape an annual
tax expense OF approximately $5OOOOO AS long as they
were held in their present shape this would be splendid
addition to the tax roll, and it would in a few years
absorb the total value of the lands
The value of the grant lands is grossly exaggerated
by impractical conseTvationsts, Ignorant OF the real
facts Possibly 100000 might be fit for settlement
where home builders could exc out precaous existence
Hundreds Of thousands Of will never be worth one
years taxes levied against them The most valuable the
limited area of timber land and upon this the company
would be able to realize considerable sum of money
The contention that much of this timber land would be
valuable for agricultural purposes after the timber is
logged off may be true but it requires two or three gen
eraons to remove the stmps and make it suitable for
such purposes.
We know the character of the land better than many
of those who are so active in advancing theories for
handling it, and make the assertion that if the grant
was turned to ShreWd and experienced company
$3.50 an acre. and taxed at the present basis of valuation
while they were attempting to dispose of it, that
pany would probably go into bankruptcy before they
finally closed up the deal.
The solution proposed is too simple we admit to ap
peal to the theorists and conservatonsts, but if the
railroad people told to take the land do as they
pleased with it, punge up taxes on it every year. the
way they would move to get it into the hands Of private
owners would be an object lesson in business hustle that
would be worth watching.

a friend. At his funeral service we
did not pay last tribute to his mem.

tribute tonight for as long as the
Knights of Pythias exist in Oregon,
tribute will be paid to Lou Stinson. I
am glad to say that not all of our
roses were ,.ept for his grave, for
many fine things were said Of him
while he was alive, and many times
have / seen the tears roll down his
face when he was recipient of the ova.

Many Hops Purchased
In Independence District

Portland, Or, Dee. 14.-Hop supplies
in the Independence section have been
further reduced by the purchase of
about 900 bales of well-known growths,
The most important deal reported, and
one of the largest of the season, was
the sale of the Percival crop of 6S7
bales to the Wolf Hop company, at a
reported price of 10 cents. Porterfield
& Sons, crop of ll2 bales was brought
by T. A. Livesley & Company, who al
so obtained the Cook lot of SO bales.
There was some doubt as to the prices
received for these two crops, but it was
believed the former brought 12 cents
and the latter l2 cents or little bet
ter.
California wires indicated a fairly
steady market in the south, where 10
to 12 cents was being offered for Son
Omas. The Bussman crop of $50 bales
was bought bv Wolfe at llIa cents,
Proctor bought two lots at II cents and
Donovan one lot at II cents.
There is much curiosity as to the
unsOld stock of 1915 hops in Oregon
but the dealers have not yet undertake
en- to check up the lots, and may not do
so until after the first Of the year.
Shipments to date amount to about
10000 bales. The association is be-
lieved to hold about 10000 bales, and
stocks in dealers hands, not shipped,
are estimated at 5000 bales If the
crop was 100000 bales, which is the
average estimate of hop men, it would
indicate that only 5000 bales are left
unsold in Oregon, outside of the asso,
citation.
