WASHINGTON. 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. Speer said today that there
should lie a number of men in Doug

advantage of the opportunity lo en
