MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS Corvallls Commercial Body Asks As sistance of Other Commercial Bodies to Open the Willamette River to Free Navigation. JOKVALIld. Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) The Bentou County Citizens' League, which la the commercial organization of -Corvallls, Is agitating the opening of the Willamette to free navigation. A memorial petitioning- Congress to ac quire the present locks at .Oregon City or to construct new ones has been adopted. A copy of this' memorial has been forwarded to' other, .commercial bodies In t'ne Valley and In Portland,' requesting that similar-action- be taken, and that copies be forwarded the Cor vallls League. President B. W. Johnson, of the league, has also addressed a letter io the newspapers of the Valley, asking their assistance In the movement. The matter of calling a meeting of the rep resentative citizens of the Valley and Portland Is ulso being considered. The resolutions - adopted- by the League set forth a list of grievances In which the reasons for an immediate movement for ridding the Valley traffic of the lockage charge at Oregon City Is urged. The movement has also in contemplation- the completion of the plan of the Government engineers for further Improvement of the Willamette, ho that all-year navigation to this city c an be achieved. The resolutions passed by the league are as follows: Whereas, The principle of toll-taking as once applied to toll roads, toil bridges and other forms of locomotion and transporta tion. Is a relic of primitive civilization and in the main has long since been discarded along with the flail, the grain cradle and kindred implements. Whereas, Toll-taking as applied to water ways Is even more outworn and. outgrown in principle, and wholly out of harmony with the progress and requirements of the ape. Whereas. A toll-taking establishment la maintained at the Willamette Falls at Ore iron City in the form of a canal and locks on which a toll of DO cents per ton is taken on all freight that passes up and down the Willamette River, together with a toll on very passenger, every horse, every head of cattle or other domstic animal. Whereas, The said' CO cents per ton dif ferentfal in the lockage charge on foe river enables the railroads traversing the Wil lamette region to add 50 cents per ton. to freight they carry to or from Willamette Valley points. - Whereas. The said lockage fee, by reason of the differential It affords, the railroads add from $100,000 to $200,000 every year to the transportation cost of the Willamette re gion. . Whereas, The said lockage fee takes 1 cents from ths sale of every bushel ot wheat exported from the region and is In effect a toll of 2H cents on every. sack of potatoes, 2V& cents on every sack of sugar, 2 Mi cents on every sack of salt, 4 cents on every bale of hay, 5 cents on every bale of hops, K cents on every barrel of flour with proportionate exactions on every other artl clo shipped In .or shipped out of the Wil lamette basin, a section of country 200 miles long and 50 to 75 miles wide and support ing a thickly-settled citizenship. Whereas, Government engineers have re ported that a new and modern canal and locks can bs .built by the general Govern ment at the said Willamette Falls at a cost not to exceed $500,000, a sum that would be saved to the people of the territory by reason of lowered freight krates within three to five years. Resolved, That the Benton County Citi zens' League of Corvallls, being the commer cial body of -the city, hereby petitions the Congress of the United States at its com ing session to appropriate such sum as may be necessary to purchase the present locks and canul at the Willamette FaJls, or to build a new canal and locks there, to be maintained and operated under the direction of the general Government with provision for freight to be allowed to pass through such canal and locks without charge by which the said Willamette shall become a free and open river to the great advantage and benefit of a vast, rich and populous terri tory, and for the granting of this petition your petitioner will ever pray: liADY MACCABEES AT ALBANY Officers Elected and Albany Selected as Meeting Place.

Receipts Have Been Kept Vp by the ', Payment of Installments on Previous Purchases. N SALEM, Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) Sales of state land during the years 1905 and 1906 amounted to only 47,037 acres, or about 11 per cent as much as in tne preceding two years, when the sales ag gregated -over 433,000 acres. This decrease of nearly SO per cent is due chiefly to the act of the Legislature in raising the price from tl.25 to J2.50 per acre, but is also due in part to the course of the State Land Board in beginning prose cution of speculators -yho were purchas ing State land in violation of law. The decrease In receipts is not 60 great, however, for those who bought land prior to the advance in price have been making payments from time to time. The total receipts for the two years ending September 30, 1906, were J175.8D8.90, as com pared with SG76,964.58 for the preceding two years. The great decrease In re- celpts resulting from the diminution of sales will be apparent In the next two or three years, when deferred installment on previous sales will have been paid and there will be little money due on sales made during 1905 and 1906. Nearly all sales of State land are made on the install ment plan, the purchaser taking three or four years to make his payment. The falling off in business in the State Land Office in the last . two yean Is evident not. only from the de crease in acreage sold, but in the num ber;. of . certificates of sale and deeds is sued. During 1903-04 there were issued' 1745 certificates of sale and 1812 deeds. During 1905-06 there were Issued only 226 certificates of sale and 9S7 deeds. The amount now due on outstanding certifi cates of sale of school land is 460,213.70, or only about half the amount due two years ago. , . These figures are-gleaned from the bi ennial report . of the State Land Board. The -board also reviews the land fraud disclosures made by State Land Agent West and says that Where certificates of sale were Issued to genuine persons and upon applications that were not forger ies, it has been the custom of the board by majority vote, one member (Governor Chamberlain) dissenting, to issue deeds to innocent holders of said certificates, except on those- certificates on which in dictment was . found against P. W. Jewett. The board further recites the opinion of the Attorney-General that where cer tificates of sale are cancelled for fraud the holders are entitled to repayment, but since the board has no authority of law to repay under, such curcumstances It Is recommended that the Legislature pass an act authorizing the board to repay. The report says that "this would seem only just to the persons wno have been so unfortunate as to purchase the certificates and will . cause no loss to the State, for the . State will have the land, a considerable portion of which Is within the newly created forest re serves In Eastern Oregon, and can be used by the State as base for Indemnity selections, which can now be disposed of at $7.50 per acre."
