the scoring machine Of the 32nd. The

Americans took up the game, but not

make an impression there and it was
thought strange that the first real
movement should have been made on
Hawaii.
Harold Rice was unaware that the
Japanese intended to take up the
game at the time of the sale, despite
the fact that his own cook was one
of the prime movers in the affair. Al
though the pony purchased by his
monarch of the kitchen would hardly
rank with Carry the News, Helen C.

pony showed excellent polo sense, and

THE EUGENE CONTENTION
(Nredford Mail Tribure)

The Eugene commercial Stub has
called a meeting of counties contain
ing o. & C. land grant lands for Au-
gust % to formulate program to keep
the taxing power of the state over the
land grant lands, thus resisting the ac-
tion of congress in restoring the lands
to federal ownership.
The Eugene contention is that the
federal government, having once vest
ed the state with the power of taxa
ton, cannot withdraw this land from
taxation. Admitting that congress has
tne power to dispossess the railroad, it
is claimed the right of the state to tax
the lands exists. Yet the power that
gave the right of taxation can take
il away.
Congress mas appropriated Sl,600,000
to pay delinquent taxes on the land.
Before the money is paid, waivers of
the right to tax the grant lands must
be signed by the counties.
When title to the land is reinvested
IN the United States government, right
of taxation by the state automatically
lapses. 1t is hard to see how the Eu
gene contention can hold.
Congress has taken over these lands
because the railroad failed to live up
to the terms of its contract for their
