On those two requeate to congress the land grat ronferrnre. at Its clos ing session here late tonight, earned to agree, but further than that there was little harmony of opinion. Home delrgatea wanted to put through a resolution asking the ron fervnee to create a committee to meet with the Southern Pacific company, owners of the land. In an effort to rrach a compromise. There was vigorous opposition to that plan on the ground that the atate hus bottling to compromise; that the supreme court bfca defined the rights of the railroad tn the property, and that to deal further with the railroad woruld only be to sacrifice some of the rights and Interests now enjoyed by the state. Another element among the dele gates proposed that the conference ask congresa to appoint a sub-committee from the public lends commit tee of the two houses to come to Ore gon for 'he purpose of examining the lands and determining what disposi tion shall be made of them. Opposition to thla plan waa found ed on the fear thai such a committee would not be able to gauge true con dltlons. and that the committee's vie It would lead only to further conserva tion which would further retard the actual development of the stats. Yet another suggestion appeared b fore the conference tonight, and that Is for the conference to ssk congress to make .the state trustee for all the lands pending their sale to actual set tiers. Under this plan, which was present ed on the floor of the convention late tonight by Chris Schuebcl, ot Oregon City, and backed by the dolegutes rep resenting the State grange, the atate would have authority, under Ita true teeshlp, to' sell the agricultural lands at 12.60 an acre to actual settlers and to dispose of tha timbered land at Its actual value. As rapidly' as sales are made the stute Is to pay to the rail road $2.50 an aero and tho remainder Is to go Into the Irreducible school fund. P. F. Dunne. Bouttiern Pacific at torney, brondedo the resolutions "ono of the most curious Infelicities I ever have heard of." In conclusion he suggested that "sane, practical and the sonslble thing for you to do Is to appoint a commit tee to confer with the railroad so thnt we can get together and settle this thing." His utterances on the subject aroused the ire of Senator W, A. Dlm lck, of Clackamas county, who urged the dulogutes not to be misled by the statements of' tho railroad attorney Into the belief that the sale of the lands could not be enforced. Senator Dlmlck was a member of the sub-corn-(Continued on Page 4.) .
