Sale Of Round Valley
Indian Lands

The secretary of the interior has
authorized the public sale at Willis,
Cal, commencing at 10 o'clock a. m.
on August 29, 1916, of the undis-
posed lands in the Round Valley In
dian reservation, California, under
the act of February s, 1905 (39 Stat.
1900. The lands are located in Men,
docino and Trinity counties, Califor'
mia, in the San Francisco and Eureka
land districts, and have an aggregate
area of 44,106.73, which have been
appraised at s56,29O.79. The lands
have been arranged in 3O2 blocks,
having an average of 146 acres in
each block. The lands are to be sold
at not less than the appraised price
in the manner in which they have
been blocked out, though the superin-
tendent of sale may first offer less
than an entire block. Purchasers
will be required to pay at least one
third down, the balance in two equal
annual installments, with interest at
3 per cent per annum on deferred
payments, in addition to commissions.
No limit is fixed as to the amount
of land any one person may buy, and
no showing will be required as to age,
citizenship, residence, cultivation or
Improvements.
The lands are in general noun
famous. with small valleys, and are
almost entirely covered with brush
and timber. The timber, aside from
madrona, consists of oaks, valuable
only for firewood, and conifers, of
doubtful economic value.
The country is well adapted by ma
ture to almost any kind of agricul-
tural use. Vine and fruit, as we'll as
grain and alfalfa culture, should, 1t
is reported, be highly successful as
far as the raising of crops is con-
cerned, and poultry and dairy prod
ucts should do WELL Progress along
these lines has been hampered by
lack of market facilities. The near
est railroad point is Dos Rios, four
teen miles from Covelo, and eighteen
miles from the nearest point on the
lands to be sold. The preesnt princi-
pal industry of settlers is the raising
of cattle and hogs, and some sheep.
a schedule of lands and other in
formation in regard to the sale may
be obtained upon inquiry of the regis
ter and receiver of the U. S. Land
Offices at San Francisco and Eureka,
California, or of the superintendent
of sale, at the time of sale.

One-Third More
Autos Than Last Year

Receipts of the state automobile
department of the secretary of state S
office for the first seven months OF
1916 totaled $132,O44.5O, as COM
pared with $10S,SS1.5O for the en-
tire twelve months of 1915.
A steady increase in the number OF
motor vehicles in Oregon is shown.
Last year there were 1855 automo-
biles and motorcycles. This year,
with five months yet remaining,
there are 9O,5O4 automobiles regis
tered and 3,2O7 motorcycles.
The number of dealers who have
taken out licenses this year is 266, as
compared with 17S in 1915. Chauf-
feur registrations this year, number
ing 1928, are less than in 1915, when
Abb were listed. This is believed
accounted for by the fact that last
year the operation of jitney buses
reached its maximum and there has
been a decrease in the number oper-
ated since that time.
Oregon's gain in motor vehicles of
all classes in the last six years is
effectively shown in the following,
giving the number of the different
years: 1911, 6,42S; 1912, 1916;
1913, 1887; 1914, 19,245; 1915,
26,743; 1916, 1851.

S. P. Awards
Safety Medals

The Southern Pacific Company,
through Vice-President and General
Manager w. r. Scott, has awarded
gold watch fobs, suitably engraved
and bearing the company's safety en-
blem, to the six employees of each
division and general shop who dur
ing the last fiscal did most In the
furtherance of safety first work.
There are seventy eight in all. c. H.
Rippon, piecewOrk inspector Of the
Sacramento general shops, tops the
fist with the splendid score Of 1928
points. Last year Yardman H. A.
Kuehn of the San Joaquin division
stood first, in 1914 Shop Clerk H. P.
Hillman of the Salt Lake division
was at the top, and in 1913 Conduct
or William Schwab of the Sacramento
division ranked highest and won one
of the Hartman memorial medals.
The same method of ranking en-
ployes was used as in other years,
namely:
/. For each practical safety sug-
gestion made involving change in
standard, reporting of defect, new
work or which required actual labor
in its correction and which indicated
thoughtful attention on the part OF
the employe, 10 points were given.
2, For each suggestion which in
the opinion of the superintendent
warranted the issuance of instruc-
tions to employees but which did not
involve actual physical labor to cor
rect and which had not heretofore
been covered by instructions, 8 points
were given.
8. For each suggestion made
which in the opinion of the superin-
tendent warranted the issuance of
instructions to employees but which
did not involve actual labor to cor
rect but which had heretofore been
covered by instructions, credit was
given.
The award of the fobs is another
means used by the company to en-
courage employees to send in safety
neutrality-suspicious. which will
tend to make safer the life and limb
of patron and employe.

EDUCATION FROM JOHN D.

A poor man is known by the com pany he keeps; a rich man by how he spends his money.
 Take the case of John D. Rocke- feller, honored citizen of Tarrytown, N. Y., and decide to take off your hat to him if you ever meet him.
 John founded the General Education board as means of doing things worth while with his millions. He has given the board over $33,0OO,0OO. A list of what has been done with the money includes endowments for col leges and medical schools and some other things. The latter includes edu- cational work for negroes, farmers cooperative demonstration work in the South, girls canning and poultry clubs, money to the Southern Educa- tion board, supervisors of rural schools for negroes, expenses and salaries of rural school agents, other farm work, educational surveys, home makers clubs, girls and boys clubs, and rural education.
 Contrary to the beliefs of some, when John parts with his money there are no strings tied to it.
 John was keen and clever in accu- mulating his money and is quite as eff ficient in doing good with it.

ADVANCE GUARD Of DEMOCRATS
 AT ST. LOUIS

: St. Louis, June 10.-The advance guard of delegates came in scattered groups from Michigan and Illinois to- night, to the Democratic convention to be held here next week, and their number will be augmented tomorrow by others from all over the country.
 National Chairman McCombs said no matter what slate had been select ed in Chicago by either of the parties, it would not effect the plans of the Democrats to renominate President Wilson and Vice President Marshall. The naming of Wilson and Marshall after the 1902 delegates have adopted platform is expected to be carried through without hitch late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
 There is not storm cloud in sight, said Chairman McCombs to- night.

THE PRESIDENTIAL
 
CONTEST.

The Republicans yesterday nomi- mated for president Charles E. Hughes, former governor of New York and associate justice of the United States supreme court, and for vice president Charles w. Fairbanks, former United States senator and former vice president.
 The Progressives nominated for president Theodore Roosevelt, former president, and for vice president John M. Parker of Louisiana, late candidate for the governorship of his state on the Progressive ticket.
 MT. Justice Hughes notified the con- vention of his acceptance of the nomi- nation, and at once presented his resignation as member of the United States supreme court.
 The nomination of Hughes by the Republicans and of Roosevelt by the Progressives was predicted in As sociated Press dispatches to The Graphic yesterday morning. It was evident at that time that all hope of the Bull Moose and the G. o. P. parties settling their differences had been given up by the leaders. The Republi- cans were anxious to effect a recon ciliation, but refused to accept Teddy, and the Progressives could see no other candidate but the sage of Saga more Hill, Two tickets were inevit- able
 President Roosevelt telegraphed the convention from Oyster Bay that he was grateful, but could not "accpet at this tlme," and suggested that his con- ditional refusal be left in the hands of the national committee, which was done It is unlikely that MT. Roose- welt will refuse to make the race, although it is possible that, foreseeing defeat, his friends may later decide to let him withdraw, giving out state ment to the effect that Justice Hughes has announced for Rooseveltian poli- cies and the good of the country de- bends upon the defeat of the Demo- crats. And all that sort of guh, as usual.
 Democrats are jubilant over the re- suits of the Chicago conventions, feel ing confident that with the opposition divided the reelection of President Woodrow Wilson in November is a certainty.
 The Democrats are to convene this week in St.. Louis to again nominate President Wilson It appears likely that Vice President Marshall will also be re nominated, though strong ef- fort is to be made to have Governor Major of Missouri chosen as MT. Will sons running mate.
 The Democratic platform will be the strongest of any of the three, because the Democrats really have something to show for three years in office. The Democrats have made good" while alI the Republicans and Progressives have to offer are promises-all they have ever had to offer, for seldom have the Republicans redeemed any of their pledges, save those to the tariff barons and other big interests.
 The Democrats will go before the
