OREGON RECLAMATION
BILL PASSES SENATE

Washington, June 1.-The house
bill providing fOr reclamation by the
government of 100000 acres of ore
gon land granted the oregon and
California railroad, was passed today
by the senate The lands, valued at
about $30.000,0 900. are alleged to have
been forfeited by violation of the
terms of the grant, which required
their sale to settlers at $3.50 an acre.
Amendments were adopted ia pro-
vide that so per cent Of the proceeds
of resale should go to the state of
Oregon, 10 per cent to the reclamn-
ton fund for use in Oregon,
and 10 per cent TO the fed
eral government
The house bill provided that so
per cent should so to Oregon for the
use of the roads and schools, 10 per
cent to the federal government, and
tion fund. Another amendment pro-
vides that sales of land should be
made for cash.
The lands were granted the rail
road in 1866 with the restrictions
that they must be sold to actual set
tiers in not greater than 160-acre
tracts and for not more than $3.50
an acre. Charges that the railroad
lad sold part Of the lands in large
lots to lumber interests at higher
rates and later had Withdrawn them
from sale, were not disputed

EXECUTIVE OF STATE
HAS POWER TO DRAFT
MEN FOR ARMY SERVICE

Santa Fe. June lit + not
a matter of general knowledge over
the state that the present militia law
provides for a draft to fll out organi-
cations and create new ones, at such
time as the governor may deem nee
essary for various causes. One OF the
listed causes is for invasion of the
state, or danger thereof, and il Is the
opinion Of many who are in position
TO know that the present mobilization
of the First regiment ON the border
Is to protect the state from the danger
of an invasion such as occurred at Co.
lumbus only a few weeks ago Such
being the case, Governor Mcdonald
Is amply empowered to cal on the
mayors of Incorporated cities and
towns for lists of available, unmarried
men, between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five, and order a definite
number selected by lot from this list
to report to the commanding officer
for service, Severe penalties are pro-
vided for failure to report when such
orders have been issued, and IL Is hard
TO find even the slightest flaw in the
law which might leave loophole for
some unwilling citizens to eyade mill
tary duty IL drafted.
There Is not the least talk of the
governor calling for draft nj the
present time, as the latest reports
from the camp ~ Columbus are that
the present force of recruiting officers
now on duty all over the state will be
able 10 raise the number of men re-
quired to put the regimental organi-
zation on a peace footing within a
comparatively short time. This will
naturally render any draft unneces-
sary, but il Is clearly within the pow
or of Governor Mcdonald to draft
men for the states needs If the re-
quired number cannot be secured 9TH
erwise, and 1t is known that not only
the governor, but also other state Of
ficials are willing to go to almost any
