Th act of congress of August Hth,
849 which establish! tna ferrit.t
government of Oregon fifty six year ago.
dealt mor liberal with Oregon at to
tchool land, than it had up to that date
thown to any other state or territory, by
giving two section in each township or
quar mil of land surface within its
borders. Prior to that time only on
taction No. 16 in each township was
granted for th tupport of common
tchoolt. Oregon got the sixteenth and
thirty sixth section in each township, just
doubl what any othar state or territory
had received.
Paragraph twenty bf th act stablish-
ing Oregon as a territory reads:
'When th land in said territory shall
b eurveyed under th direction of th
government of the United States, pre
paratory to bringing th same into mar
ket Motion numbered sixteen and thirty
tix in each township in said territory
thall be, and th same is hereby, reserved
for th purpose 0f being armlied to
chool in said territory, and in th states
and territories hereafter to be erected out
of th same."
When Oregon adopted the present etata
constitution, preparatory' to becoming a
tut on Sept 8th. 1857 in paragraph
two of articl ight it wa declared that:
Th proceed of an th lands which
hav been or hereafter may be granted
to this state, for educational purpotet;
all the proceedt of the Ave nur,dred thou
sand acres of land to w.iich th.s tiaie it
entitled to by the provisions of an act ot
congress, entitled "An act to appropriate
the proceed of the sales of tae publ c
lands, and to grant pre-emption richta."
approved September 4th., 1841, and also
the five per centum of th net proceeds
of the tales the public lands, to which
this state shall become entitled on her
admission into the union (if congress shall
consent to such appropriation of the two
grantt last mentioned) thall be set a Dart
at a separate and irreducible fund to be
called th common school fund, th
intrst of which together with all other
revenue derived from th tchool land
mntiond in thi section, thall be x
clutivtly applied to the tupport and main
tainenc of th common school in each
district, and the purchas of suitable
libraries therefor." "

'Th act of congress admitting Oregon
did not consent to the 600.000 acres and
five pr cent on tales of public land
going to the tchool fund but to th. W.r-
nal improvement fund, but the 16th. and
56th. sections did.
