concessions held by Americans for
a projected railway between Sallna

The reasons diven we're that condi.

prejudicial to the de facto govern

with former Dictator Huerta.
At the same time preparations are

OREGON wEATHER
THE Q. & c. LAND GRANT TANGLE

THE o. & c. LAND GRANT TANGLE
Proceeding upon the contention
that, title having been once vested in
the railroad company. and the lands
Of the o. & C. grant having found
their way upon the tag rolls of the
various counties through such in
dividual ownership, congress exceeded
its constitutional rights in attempting
to revest title in the United States.
Lane county citizens are demanding
that the lands be retained upon the
tax rolls. The county judges of the
interested counties were called to
Eugene to consider the various
phases of the question. and to take
such action as may be deemed advis-
able for the immediate protection
and mutual advantage Of the several
counties"
Legislation already enacted. and
other legislation proposed, deals most
unjustly with the land grant counties.
The counties were developed. and
roads and bridges constructed, with
the grant lands included in the area
from which revenue was to be de-
rived to meet the expense. The county
government is now left high and dry
with congress stepping in and cut
ting of source Of revenue. then.
through legislation, giving elsewhere
the bulk Of the land value. The MEM
bers Of the Salem conference were
right when they demanded that the
railroad be required to dispose Of the
land according to the terms Of the
original grant. That would have
placed the burden where it belonged
upon the delinquent company and
not upon the general public. It
would also have protected the coun-
ties In the matter of taxes. The Lane
county citizens who have called this
conference of county officials are
working upon the hypothesis that in
the end this idea will prevail.

HUGHES FOR BETTER BUSINESS
METHODS

Republican Candidate Hughes is
making a plea for the success OF his
party in the interest Of the business
OF the country. Speaking at Portland,
the leader of the G. o. p. discussed
the tariff and advocated business-like
methods in government, particularly
systematic budget system.
There is no private business in
the country that could exist as the
government is run, without any prop
er organization, he declared. "Pm
for a sound, business-like administra-
tion. II we are to measure up the
demands that are before us and take
our place worthily among the ma
tions Of the earth, then we must have
ability to resist importantly and the
making Of public Offices into public
snaps. Pm against them. We must
save this country every day-it will
not be conserved simply by indulging
in good wishes around the club
tables"
Hughes referred to the United
States system Of government as or
ganized like a watch-delcately ad-
justed and requiring that It be kept
in order"

This new position also brought up
into closer contact with the French
artillery lines.
The artillery duel gradually grew in
intensity towards the close OF the
day until the hail OF shells flying over
from the batteries In the hills and
valleys in the rear fairly made ones
head swim with Its intensity. II was
only upon realization that the French
were firing not by guns nor by bat
teries. but by whole successive lines
OF artillery. many OF them extend
ing miles in length, that j was able
to grasp the extent OF French pre-
paredness In heavy artillery for this
advance on the Somme.
From time to time this unceasing
artillery roar was Intensified by angry
spurts and sputters OF machine gun
fire, either as the French repulsed
German counter-attacks before Clery,
or as French gunners voluntarily gave
vent to few volleys as warn
ing to the Germans OF the lnadvis-
ibility OF leaving their trenches.
Towards sundown the German fire
dwindled. The French fire likewise

that the days battle had ended, the
French still holding their recently
conquered positions between Harde-
court and Buscourt and before Clery,
an impression which the evening COM

EXPECT v|LHJALMUR STEFANSS0N
FOREMAN IN POL AR REGIONS FOR
EXPLORATION OF PRINCE PATRICK

Nome, Alaska, Aug. 15.-Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, the Canadian Arctic explorer
who went into the Polar regions in the
summer of 1918, probably will not return
to civilization during the present season,
but will continue his work of exploring
newly discovered land north of Prince
Patrick land. This news was brought b.
six members Of the Stefansson party who
returned here today on the power scEoon-
er Alaska.
The party aboard the Alaska was under
DR. Rudolph Anderson. Stefansson's chief
subordinate, who had been exploring and
charting the coast line bordering Union
and Dolphin straits and the Coronation
Gulf region, far east Of the mouth of the
Mackenzie river.
All of the party which left here on the
Alaska in July, 1918, returned with the ex-
died at Bailey island in May. 1915. The
members Of the party here are: DR.. An
derson, J. J. O'Neill, geologist: John Cox.
surveyor; DR.. Jeness, antaropologist;
Fritz Johansen, oceanographer, and
George wilkins. photographer.
The schooner was under the COM
mand of Captain Sweeney. who joined
the expedition while it was in Arctic
waters. The entire party was in good
physical condition and expressed them
selves as having enjoyed their long
experience in the Arctic. despite the
many hardships encountered.
Most Of the time since the spring Of
1914, the party has been in quarters at
