IN BUSINESS PART OF CITY
City Attorney Aroused Over Disregard
for All Building Codes and
City Laws.

Following the holidays "A campaign
to force building owners in the bus,-
ness section to comply with all fire
regulations is to be made, according
to an announcement made yesterday
during the meeting of the board OF
city commissioners.
In many sections of the business
section there is an utter disregard for
all requirements in the way of fire
prevention and fire fighting equip
ment and il is upon the owners of
such properties that the forces of the
police department and the fire mar
shal are TO be focused.
In the same block with the city han
there are several hotels and rooming
houses constructed without regard for
the fire equipment necessary and in
one instance a rooming house has been
constructed with a back porch on the
second floor made entirely Of small
timbers with no steps to the ground.
The fire marshal is not permitted II
close this rear entrance to the room
ing house on the second floor, and yet
TO leave it remain in use presents
hazard almost as dangerous as no exit
at all, for three persons rushing upon
it at once would be enough weight to
tear it from its fastenings. The only
way of exit from the rear of this
rooming house is by jumping at least
s feet, which In stampede probably
would result in death to those trying
to escape from the flames should Il
fire originate in the front end of the
rooming house.
Such conditions as that should not
exist" declared John b. Meserve, city
attorney. who favors campaign to
eliminate from the business section
all such hazards, many of which are
to be found on some of the most re-

ance OF the decision of the United
states supreme court in the Oregon and
California land grant case can scarcely
be realized insofar as it concerns the
fnture development and settlement of
the state of Oregon.
The grant lands consist of approxi-
mately 100000 acres reaching from
the California to Washington bound
ary and of that total probably 500,
acres arc capable of immediate agri-
cultural development. 1t is estimated
that more than one million acres of the
grant will be classed as agricultural
land and thousands of the acres of the
agricultural land as are fertile and de-
sirable as any to be found in the state.
The Chamberlain-Ferris act, which
has been sustained by the supreme
court, provides that this vast tract of
land shall be Immediately classified

original granting act Much of this
work Of Classification has already beea
made, and, now that the supreme eourt
has finally determined the controversy
between the government and the rail
road company, the lands will be throws
open to the public in the shortest pos
sibie space of time.
Some Open to Entry.
This means that the agricultural land
will be subject to entry, under the
general provisions of the homestead
act, by actual settlers. The settlers
will be required to pay the govern
ment $3.50 an acre for the land fifty
cents at the time of filling, and -
when final proof is made. Final proof
will depend upon settlement and culti-
walton to all practical purposes the
same as under the homestead act
The Chamberlain-Ferris act also pro-
vides that the land classcd as timber
land-that bearing not less than 300,-
600 board feet of timber to the forty
acre tract-shall be sold to the highest
bidder, under competitive bids as rapid
ly as a normal market may be found.
The purchaser of the timber is Sivem
certain agreed time within which to
remove the timber, and when that has
been done the stump lands are to be
classed as agricultural lands and thrown
open TO entry and settlement, under
the terms of the homestead act, but
without cost to the settlers.
What the decision means to Oregon
development can be visualized by the
fact that it throws at least 100000
acres of agricultural land open to set
tiers in tracts of l60 acres at price
of $3.50 an acre.

MUST HELP THE FARMERS

Owing to conditions arising on the Pacific coast, due
to the war; there going to be scarcity Of labor for the
farms Indications point to the northwest being the
ter of the great shpbudng movement and this will take
thousands from other pursuits. There will be tremend
demand for men in the logging camps and at the
mills and naturally with high wages this will draw much
labor from the farms. Agriculture just now the most
important of all our industries for that all others
depend 1t follows therefore that some must be
provided for aiding the farmers both in the immediate
future in getting his crops in, and later in harvesting
them In short time there will tie strong demand for
labor in the berry patches and at present means is
provided for meeting this demand Then will come har
vest and with the crops grown is to every person IN
the state to they harvested God helps those who
help themselves 1t is up to us to gain this assistance
More than that it is time to begin right AS the
farmers will not be able to handle their crops without
help it is up us in the cities to help themor go
hungry Some steps should be taken at once to organize
our forces and arrange for every person able to work
doing his or her share this line home guard to help
can be called on to be sent to farms needed until not
particle of any crop is allowed to to waste Instead OF
taking vacation of two weeks month in the noun
ans the seaside should all arrange to take that
season the farms where sure get all the outdoor
exercise we need and at the time assist the farmer
in his task of feeding Hard work will not appeal to
most city dwelles they do as big days work as
persons used to it but they can do something TO nep ana
this they should do The Commercial Club could do mo-
work Of greater Importance than getting organization
perfected in Saem that can be depended on TO go
where sent and to do whatever called on to save Oego
food supply In the berry patches the children can do
rood work and this should take the place OF the hop pick
ing season for them and for many families Five hundred
or thousand Salem men giving up two weeks or month
during the year to aid the farmers will go long ways 10
ward solving the labor problem in this vicinity and with
the system in operation over the state all danger OF loss
of crops will be eliminated The outlook just now is that
CITY folks will have to get in and do some OF the farm
work or along with Others tighten their belts from out
side instead of from the in.
