When it admitted Oregon, as a slate, (0 set it up io. house keep ing, it gave it the ICth and UGlh sectious in each township Tor common schools purposes which in the aggregate amounts to 3, 329.70G acres, 46,080 acre to start a elate. university with, making a total, granted on its admission into the Union tor educational purposes, of 3,375, 780 acres, add to this 46.C80 acres salt land and the whole granted on admission will be 3,421,S60 acres. 'Since admission, Oregon has been granted by the general government 1,507,096 acres. By adJing the acreage granted on admission to that given since and it will be seeu that 4,988, 962 acres of laud have oomt in to the possession of the state of Oregon and under its control. If all this land, was in a eolid tody it would'coine 7,795 square miles, aud if fenced in one field it would be as large as Union end Umatilla counties combine 1 with , five hundred fifty ihtee square miles' for a calf pasture, or a scope large enough after feociug Umatilla and Union counties to locate 2,212 home steads with one hundred sixty acres each. The question? that do or should concern every citizen in Oregon are, 1st. How much of this land does Oregon yei hold? 2nd. What has it to t-how for the proceeds of that disposed of? These queHtioiis are iiot urgd by the Observer to s?ir up criti cisin and cull forth denouuei allons and rtgiets that, so lirge a portion of this magnificent douation of land by the general governmeut to the state of Ore gon has passed from its possess ion leaving so little to show therefor, but that a more judici ous management of the temnant may beinaguruted. It is useless to whiue now because by im provident mauagemeut of the larger part of the over three aud oue half millions of acres turned over by the United Statts to Ortgon for educational purposes have beeu frittered away Or thai nearly 800,000 acres given by the U S to assist in construct ing wagon roads should have parsed from the ownership of the states to corporations and G. L FOWLER Truck and Transfer Wood and Coal Phone 1611 All order given prompt attaution. . practically no roads have ben builL Past wastefulness is only refered to with the hopethst the people, who under the ndJed re sponsibilities that the Initiative and Referendum has cast upon them, wi l lake a more careful interest in the landed property of the state and so far as is now possible look to it that, the remnant of the school land yet owned bv the state be better managed than in the past. HELP THE GOVERNMENT The fact that the large land holders in the binods of the Umatilla irrigation project are willing to concede much to the government and aid in settling all water difficulties-, will enable the project to be started before all others in the west alth jugli the prospects looked blue indeed for a lime. The Cold Springs Irrigation compauy, with head quarters at Echo, was the first company to declare itself with the government and others fell in line rapidly until now few obstacles stand in the way of the government engu eers. Subjected to sever but un- t 1 1 a a ej Luunteu viiwuieui lias oueu tue ot of the government engineers especially John I Whistler, ch:ef ngiueer, corporations with the sole thought of discodragirg and blocking tbe engineers, have assailed them from , every side. A few of the misled news papers took up the fight and nave cudgeled them through their columns. More sensible people understand the immense amount of red tape which a pro ject must go through, and they alone bave kept quiet and await ed the results of the investiga tions. True, the project will not be the largeft, yet 10,000 acres divided ud into small homes means much to any community. Later the project in Morrow county, water to be secured by diverting the John Day. .will follow and anotber body of land of an almost equal area will be .opened uo. The cost of irrigation will be over $40 an acre but those who have Been the benefits of irrigation on those arid plaius will Lot be grudge the price. The excitement of intending settlers is not as great as . it was when the first withdrawal of land land was made by the government as speculators have found that the land laws govern ing such settlement is not meant for them, but intended for the home maker only. The man who will ive on and cultivate the land is the one to get the benefit and he alone can specu late on the government's laud by living his allotted number of of year and paying his pro rata of the cost of reclamation.
