"In offering this film service the
extension division of the university
feels that it Is leading out in phase
of education that is to become both
popular and important in the next
few years" said Earl Fitzpatrick, as
sistant dean Of the extension division.
"The scope of the service will be de-
termined by the demand for the pic
lures, but next year we expect to
have an assortment of pictures that
will cover the educational field from
college audiences clear down through
the grades"
AS few high schools have moving
picture machines, it is suggested that
the school principals arrange with
some public-spirited picture house
proprietors to show sets, at free en-
tertainments. Simple motion picture
machines can now be purchased reas-
onably.
A few of the pictures on the circuit
next year may involve a slight
charge, but the bulk of the service
will be free.
The Ashland high school has a
built-in projection room, fireproof
and up to date, in the gymnasium.
However, the school owns no ma
chine, although it is hoped that in
time one will be added to the equip
ment.

Montague Paper
Boosts Celebration

Montague Messenger: Ashland
was we'll represented in Montague
last Sunday when a delegation Of
about twenty-five came over the
mountain in machines bearing ban
ners and placards announcing their
big Roundup and Fourth of July cele-
bration. The affair will last three
days-July 4, 8 and 6-and has for
its purpose the dedication of the mu-
nicipal mineral water project recent
ly completed there.
For the main attraction the Ash
land committee has secured practical
ly all of the big feature acts of the
Pendleton roundup and have tagged
their show as the Rogue River
Roundup.
Great preparations are being made
by the residents and boosters of the
Granite City for the entertainment
of the large crowds that will visit the
city during those three days. Ash
land has the best natural environ
ment for entertaining crowd of any
town in this part of the country. Her
beautiful parks make it an easy mat
ter for her guests to keep comfort
able. The newly added attraction OF
the mineral springs and the general
hospitality of the bunch around the
town are enough to assure a good
time without the added feature OF
the big program.

actual settlers, and at prices exceed
ing $3.50 an acre. 1t was these sales
that were made the foundation of a
claim on the part of the government
that the company had forfeited its
title to all the lands unsold, which
claim was rejected by the United
States supreme court.
Can Sell Timber.
In view of the decision of the su-
preme court, the company insists
that, being the owner of these timber
lands, and under no obligation to sell
them, and in fact it being impossible
to sell them under the restrictions Of
the grant, it has the right of any
other owner to dispose of the timber
on those lands, just as it would dis
pose of any other crop produced by
the land, at the same time admitting
that when it comes to sell the land
itself it must do so under the terms
of the grant. The cutting Of the tim
Der from these lands is in fact step
toward making them fit for settle
ment, so that they may be disposed
of under the terms of the grant.
"But the government contends that
the company shall not be allowed to
realize more than $3.50 an acre for
any of these lands, even though they
may be worth many times that
amount because of the timber there
on, and that therefore the company
has not the right to dispose of the
timber growing upon these lands. 1t
is strange indeed that the govern
ment should now maintain that the
company has no right to the timber
upon these lands, because for many
years before coal was used for fuel it
used this timber as fuel, without
question; and the right to do this is
clear, because the act of congress

1t would seem that Pacific coast

The Southern Pacific's Position in the
Oregon California Land ContrO-
versy.
In view of the widespread interest
taken in the Oregon and California
land grant situation, President
Sproule of the Southern Pacific Com
pany has issued the following explain
alton of the railroad company's posi-
tion in the matter:
Court Settles Title.
The United States supreme court
held that the company is the owner
Of the lands under the grant, with
absolute title, subject only to the
restrictions that when it chooses to
sell these lands it shall sell them only
to actual settlers in parcels not ex-
ceeding 100 acres, and at a price not
exceeding $3.50 an acre. 1t reversed
Judge Wolverton, who had held that
because the company had sold these
lands with the timber thereon in
larger parcels than 100 acres, and to
persons not actual settlers, and at
prices exceeding $3.50 an acre, the
company forfeited its title to all the
lands unsold.
After receiving the grant the COM
pany offered the lands for sale in ac-
cordance with these restrictions, and
in early times sold substantially all
OF the lands that were suitable for
settlement, at prices not exceeding
$3.50 an acre. But as the remaining
lands were Of character not suitable
for actual settlement, being timber
lands in the mountains, it could not
dispose of such lands by selling to
actual settlers only, no such settle
ment being practicable.
Thereafter the company did make
sale of timber lands in larger tracts
than 100 acres to persons other than

Free Service to Government.
And further, this grant required
the company to carry free for the
United States government its mails
troops, munitions of war and public
stores, over this railroad without
limit as to time. The value of this
free transportation at regular rates
which has been furnished the govern
ment equals $2,0S4,467, which
amount exceeds the receipts of the
company under the grant by $685.
641. 1t embraces the service be-
tween Portland and the Oregon and
California state line.
From the experience of the past we
may be certain that the company will
be called upon to furnish the govern
ment free transportation of the value
of SIS, 900 per annum, and this is a
perpetual obligation. Now, If we
could sell every acre of the land at
present unsold, viz, 100000 acres,
at the price of $3.50 per acre, this
would yield $4,000, 900, which would
be used up in eighty years by the free
transportation which we are bound to
furnish the government, leaving the
company thereafter-for all time
to furnish transportation to the gov
ernment without compensation.
Has Right to Sell.
But there is a considerable quaint
ity of this land, at least 100000
acres, which cannot be sold at any
price, hence the amount that could
be realized by sales would be some
thing like $3,OOO,OOO or $4,OOO,OOO
at the utmost, from which expenses
of administration and taxes must be
deducted.
The company therefore insists
upon its legal rights as the owner Of
these lands to dispose of the timber
thereon, and any fair adjustment of
this matter with the government,
all the facts, would not
deny to the company this right, a
right which in a similar transaction
between private individuals would
not be questioned for a moment.

granted the land ito secure safe and

OF course such object could not be
accomplished without fuel to produce
motive power.
And further, this provision of the
law implies that the road shall be
maintained, and certainly the use OF
this timber for ties and lumber to be
used in the construction and main
tenance Of the road would seem to be
matter beyond doubt.
Further, the government. in the
third section of the act, expressly
granted the company the right to
take timber from the government sec
tions of land adjacent to the line Of
road, and under Section 10 II allowed
the taking of timber from lands ex-
cepted from the grant by reason OF
being mineral In view of this ex-
press grant, to take timber from
lands owned by the government and
not included in the grant, upon what
pretext can the government deny the
company the right to take timber
from the lands ganted to the COM
pany?
Purpose Was TO Aid.
The facts show that the position
of the government, If carried out,
would force upon the company a
large financial loss; in other words.
while this grant was one to aid the
construction OF the railroad, it would
turn out to be, If the position of the
government is correct, the means

Summer Salads

The one dish that in these hot days can
tempt the appetite when others fail. Is a
crisp. cold salad. While the man of the
house may think it's only half meal from
a masculine viewpoint, 1t makes mighty
good entree for him. There are plenty of
salads which are made up of meats and
vegetables combined, enough to serve for
n substantial luncheon at least.
The dressing par excellence is olive oil,
or French dressing with plenty OF oil In 1t.
This not only tones up the system but II
improves the salad.
For many years lettuce has been looked
upon as the salad plant. 1t forms the
foundation for almost any salad. But the
leaves should be white and crisp to be a
complete success. Wilted, dirty leaves are
fit only to throw away.
After you have washed all the dirt out
of the salad, allow 1t to stand in ice cold
water for an hour or so. renewing the
water when IL gets warm. Add bit OF
lemon juice or vinegar TO the water to
make II more crisp.
Wipe each leaf OF lettuce between the
folds OF a clean towel before using. Having
thus prepared the foundation for your
salad. the rest is simple. In these days
of timed meats, II is possible TO get variety
for every day in the week.
II you like a slight flavor of onion or
garlic, rub the salad bowl in which the
salad is to be served with slice OF onion
or a Glove OF garlic.
Beef Salad-Cut into dice rather
large cold boiled potatoes, and put them
in a bowl. Add the contents of a tin of
beef loaf or fresh beef loaf cut into small
pieces. Marinate in French dressing. Put
on Ice and when ready to serve add table.
spoonful OF picked beets, teaspoonful OF
chives. and tablespoonful OF parsley,
chopped fine Serve on lettuce leaves with
bit OF grated hard boiled eggs on each
portion.
Tongue Salad-Cut a can OF OK tongue
into small cubes and add a loose cupful OF
finely chopped cabbage. a cupful of finely
chopped cucumber pickle, hard boiled
eggs. also chopped fine. and teaspoonfll Of
celery seed and salt and pepper to taste
over this pour mayonnaise dressing TO
which lemon juice has been added
Chicken Salad-Chop one cupfuI OF tin
ned boned chicken and a cupful OF Eng
Iish walnut meats. Add a cucumber
pared and cut into cubes, and an equal
amount OF celery MarnRte with French
dressing and garnish with mayonnaise in a
bowl Of fresh lettuce leaves.
