' THE MORNING QKEGOXIAX, TTTUKSDVY. DECEMBER 8, 1910. - 0 the Government had not yet filed It brief. I wrote up a resolution to be In troduced In Congress, instructing the Attorney-General to proceed with the case with all convenient speed. Sena tor Chamberlain Introduced the resolu tion In the Senate and Representative Ferris, of Oklahoma. Introduced It In the House. It may or may not have helped. But. while I am in Washing ton the next two yeara as Representa tive from this State. I shall leave no stone unturned to push this land grant suit along. A final decision, either for or against the enforcement of the terms of the grant, should be secured In the Supreme Court Inside of the next three years. Then both the people of Oregon and the railroad company will know where they are with reference to thl gigantic body of land, the proper administration of which so materially affects the prosperity and development of this State."

Representative-elect A. W. Lafferty. of Portland, announced yesterday that be would do. everything; In hl power to push the litigation along to a de. rlsion by the Supreme Court. Mr. Laf ferty stated that one of the planka of the platform upon which be was re cently elected, declared In favor or openlna- up to settlers the J.SOO.000 acres of unsold land remaining In the bands of the Oregon California Bail road Company. The lands involved were granted to the railroad company hv the acts of Conaree or April 10. 1. and May . 170. Both acta pro vide that the lands shall be sold by the company to actual aettler only. In quantities not greater than a quar ter section to any one settler, and for prices not exceeding 12.50 per acre. The grant originally amounted to a little over S.ooo.000 acres. The com pany has sold nearly !.." acres, and In doing so disregarded the terms, of the law. says Mr. Lafferty. Suit Begun Threw Years Ago. September 11. 1T. John L. Snyder and a half doxen other rltixens of Co lumbia County, alleging that they had made actual settlement upon tracts of the land. Intending to make permanent homes thereon, nied the first suits ever brought to test that part of the law requiring that the lauds shall ba o, to settler. Nearly a year later, irptember 4. IV the Government, lctlng through Special Prosecutor B. . Townsend, filed a similar suit, ex--rpt ttiat the Government aeked. first, that the title to the 2.3O0.Q00 acres of unnM land be forfeited, because the railroad company had violated the term of the grant In selling nearly 1 nno.nno ai res contrary to law. or. sec ond, that a decree be entered requiring the company to comply with the law hereafter, provided the court should -cfue to enter a Judgment of absolute forfeiture. I.ater. another feature wa rtrie! to the raw by the filing of a bill ,of Intervention by several thou ann.l applicant to purchase tract of the land, who did not claim to be set tlers thereon. QucMiuna to lie Decided. - A hearing upon the case wa had before Judge Wolverton from March i I to IJ. If. In the I'nlted State Court at Portland. Tha railroad com pany filed demurrer to all three et of complaining litigant, to-wlt. the artual settlers, the uovernment and the applicanta to purchase, who were not settler. The railroad contended by these demurrer that no legal causa vf action was embodied In any on of the three theorle advanced. A de murrer I supposed to raise all law points presented by the Issue In a :ae. and. therefore, the forthcoming; leclsion of Judge Wolverton upon Ihese demurrers Is awaited with great Interest. The n)eclslon will settle four luestlons. as follows: First May an actual settler who In (nod faith take actual physical pos session of a quarter section of the land. Intending to maka It a perma nent home, compel the company to convey to him at the price of 82.S0 an acre, as fixed by the Federal statute? 4econd May tha Government secure a decree forfeiting all the unsold land to the United States, because of the sale of a portion of the grand hereto fore by the company contrary to law? Third May an applicant to purchase a tract of the land, who haa not made actual settlement thereon. acquire any right by bringing a suit? Fourth May the railroad company keep the land .and do with It as It (.leases? Appeal to Supreme Court Sure. "No matter what decision Judge Wolverton may make, the case will be Immediately appealed to the Court of Appeals at San Framlaco. and aftrl decision there. It will be appealed, to the Supreme Court at Washington." declared Mr. Laff.Tty yesterday. "The litigation was started over three year ago. and ought to have been in the Supreme Court by thl time. I filed the first suits for the settlers myself, and f shall stay in the case till It Is decided by the highest court tn the land. I have no doubt that the settlers will win eventually, but I want the final decision to be rendered In time to do the present generation ome good. "When this litigation first started some laymen said to me that It would last 20 years. I merely smiled at what I thought wa extreme exagger ation resulting from popular prejudice. Kut I am now beginning to believe (hat the laymen were not far wrong. Thl case has been pending for over three year, and the demurrer to the complaints, the first step In the trial of a case, has not yet been passed upon. The court is not to blame. The liovernment took considerably over a tear to file Its brief, after the oral hearing was had In March. 1909. Then the Government made no objection to rxtending the time for the filing of a closing brief by the railroad com pany till October 15. 1910. "Applicants" Being Swindled. "Of course those who are trying to get quarter sections of this land mere ly for making application have no chance. They are being swindled if they are putting up money for the filing of applications. It Is reported that thousands have been ao swindled already. The law says that the land shall ba sold to actual settler. It doe not say 'actual applicant.' If the rail road company would accede to the re questa of the thousands of non. set tlers and sell to them. It would b violating the very law that we are trying to enforce. -While In Washington, n. C. on pri vate business last April, over one year after tha oral argument of the land grant caaa at Portland. I learned that BUTTER MAKERS TO SCORE Third Annual Convention Will Meet at Tacoma December 15-10.

List Includes 117 Cities. The list Includes 178 cities which had in 1900 a population of 25.000 to 100.000, and 69 cities which have risen above the 25,000 limit since 1900 and one which haa fallen below the 100,000 limit since 1900. It Is. of course, not as yet a complete list for 1910, since some other cities which had less than 25,000 population In 1900 will undoubtedly -enter this group. The aggregate population of the 177 citle In thl group for which the 1910 count has been completed Is 8,578.466. The same cities had an aggregate population In 1900 of 6.002.407. The Increase during the decade Is, therefore, 2.376,059, or 42 per cent. Omitting three cities. Muskogee, Niag ara Falls and Stamford, not Included In the data for 1S90. the aggregate popula tion of the remaining lis cities in 1910 Is 8.497.614: lnl900 these cities had a popu lation of 5.962.799, and in 1S90, 4.451,81. The absolute Increase during the decade 1900 to 1910 was, therefore, 2.534,815. and during the decade 1890 to 1900, 1.510,918. and the percentage of increase from 1900 to 1910 was 42,5, as compared with a per centage of 33 In the previous decade. Of the 175 cities for which comparative figures are given, 121 show a greater ab solute increase in the decade 1900 to 1910 than In the preceding decade and 89 show also a higher percentage rate of In crease. With the data for both groups of cities approaching completeness. If Is notice able that the smaller cities, as a group, seem to have maintained, during the dec ade 1900 to 1910. a rate of growth consid erably above that maintained by the larger cities, the rate for the aggregate population' of the smaller cities being 3D.4 per cent and that for the larger 31.8 per cent There was no such contrast in the decade 1890 to 1900. during which the smaller cities increased In the aggre gate 32.5 per cent and the larger 32 per cent. As regards rates of Increase, the cities between 25.000 and 100.000 for which the 1910 population is announced are dis tributed as follows: ElRhtn cities show rates of 100 or mors PFour"cit!es show rates from 00 tw 99 per CfVv. cities show rates from 80 to 89 per "Seven cities show rates from 70 to 79 per "Nine cities show rates from 60 to 9 per "Fl'fteen cities show rates from 50 to 59 P"lxtCc"n cities show ratw from 40 to 49 TwenVy-slx cities show rates from 30 to Thlrty-thr. cities show rates from 20 to 29 per c-nt.

Rembrandt's picture of his wife, the first of this new series, appeared in thd November number, and Carriere's child picture, "Intimite," appropriately appears in the Christmas number. ' Timothy Cole is the greatest wood engraver living perhaps the greatest that ever lived. When he dies there will be no one to take up his work. Libraries, attics and bookstalls will be searched for old copies of this magazine to obtain merely the impressions of these cuts by Cole. Good art will predominate in the Christmas Century and in subse quent numbers as it has in the past. Great artists always find in The Century sympathetic reproductions of their works, and in the readers of The Century sympathetic appreciation of their art. The Christmas number, which will be eagerly anticipated by all regular readers, is a very good number for new readers to begin with. SS cents a copy, 14.00 a year.
