July 8 Action by Congress on the bill to revest the Government with the title of lands in She Coos Bay wagon road grant Is expected tu follow the report ! which has been submitted from the public lands committee favoring its passage. This report deals fully with the documentary side, so that reference may be made to the his tory of the grant, down to the pro posal of settlement made by the Southern Oregon Company last. De cember, that company being the present holder of legal title and sub sequent reports on the proposed leg islation submit led by Secretaries Lane and Houston and S. W. Wil liams, special to the Attorney-General. The bill Is summarized ami the urgument for It presented in the fol lowing excerpts from the report: "Section 1 of this bill provides that the Southern Oregon Company shall be paid the sum of $2:l2.4ti..lt for a deed, satisfactory to Ihe Attor ney-General of the I'nited Slates, i e eonveying to the I'nited Slates all the right, title, lllld Interest of said company In and lu the lands now In volved in the litigation pending in the Supreme Court of the I'nited States, amuunting approximately to 93.11011 acres, said sum of $:!:12.4A: -07 being Ihe value of said lands at $2.50 per acre; said value of $2.50 per ucre being Ihe value conferred by the granting act. which value the court decreed should lie secured to the Southern Oregon Compnay. "Section 2 provides for the pay ment of tuxes, which, according to the above letter of the Attorney-Gen eral, amount to $4118,846. 61 for the years 1909 to 19 16. "While the Government is re quired to pay lo the Southern Ore gon Company $2:t2.46:i i7, and for delinquent taxes $4118,846.61. total $641,3119.68. tills sum is to lie repaid to the Government from the sale of I grant lands and timber, and In addi tion thereto 7 5 ter cent of all oilier ' moneys received from said lands Is j to In- paid Into the treasury of the I l ulled States. That Ihe Government will be aply repaid is shown Iroin the estimates of the value of Hie lands." Arrangements have been complet ed with the local draft board which makes it possible to release the men who registered on June 5, 1918, for service in the Marine Corps. The board has found it difficult to let men go, as the number of first class j men in tin county bus been nearly 'exhausted. The Government has i riven instructions, however, that all young men who are registered and can meet the necessary qualifies .tions. shall be released for enlist ment in the Mariubs as soon as their I proper classification is completed Aliollt I The Murine Corps are now enlist ing men as young us 18 years, and Sgt.

It for more workers is sent out and the situation outlined as It Is at present. The rate at which surgical dressings have been produced has been con stantly increasing and Is now higher than the estimates, indicating pro vision for some months to come. This rapidly increasing production has strained the capacity of the manufacturers or raw materials to such an extent that thele has been serious dutifully in securing suffi cient guiize anil other muterials used in making dressings. There is urgent need for other kinds of Ked Cross work in making hospital garments, refugee gar ments, comrort kits and knitted goods. To make the things called for by the Government's estimate will mean that more women than ever before will be rei)Ulred to devote their time to this work.
