Location Fees Lost
Washington, June 28. (United
Press) No disposition of Oregon &
California grant lands can or will be
made until the classification as com
pleted and money spent by those de
siring to secure filings on grant lands
in payment of location fees would be
lost, the secretary of the Interior
again warned those seeking grant
lands today.
The secretary's statement declares
that there is no way by which prefer
ence rights may be secured under the
law, and that any fees paid to so
called locators will be money lost so
far as the prospective settlers are
concerned.
"It is the policy of the department
that when the lands are ready to be
thrown open for settlement and entry
the public is to be notified thereof so
that every one will have an equal
chance. This policy will be strictly
adhered to," the statement concludes.
Less Men At Summer School.
Eugene, Ore., June 28. (United
Press) The war has hit the male en
rollment of the summer session of the
"University of Oregon's a severe blow.
LLast year 135 men attended the ses
sion. This year the number has been
cut down to 53. The attendance of
women, who make up the large ma
jority of students, has shown nothing
like so sharp a decrease.
The men attending summer school
Jiere are giving a military aspect to
the campus by drilling under the di
rection of Second Lieutenant Lewis
Beebe, of the second company, coast
j artillery corps, Oregon National
guard. Men attenumg tne summer ses
sion average several years older than
those here in the regular college sessions.

Now York, June 28. It is a mat

of popularity between' the ball play-jput off the field so seldom the fan
c who raises the rumpus on the field, cannot remember the happenings,
and the steady, easlor-going stnr who Of the 'belligerent type John J. Mc-
.Wercly plays baseball to win, leaving Graw, Charley Herzog, Arthur Fletch
er, John Evers, Hoinio Zimmerman,
Ty Cobb, Fred Tyler, Miguel Gon
zales and Rabbit Maranville are the
most prominent. And every one of
them is a popular player. Perhaps
there isn't a more popular man any
where in the national pastime than
the fiery leader of the New York
Giants.

The Braves, when they were driving
well and sticking around the top of
National league standings constituted
one of the greatest drawing cards the
game ever has seen. Every man on
the club was a fighter. The club won
its games by fighting. Bull-dozing
was one of its greatest assets and
the players made it go over.
Then there were the Athletics
men who rarely uttered a protest.
They merely played baseball and were
recognized as the greatest machine

Although to embark on a large
scale military expedition to Europe
will take many men from the ranks
of industry and trade, and the finan
cial aid we must render those who are
fighting with us will call for large
bond issues and heavy taxation, it
cannot be regarded otherwise than as
fortunate that the United States has
entered whole-heartedly into the war,
for that will help to end the struggle
with the least possible delay, and all
are wishing now for this outcome.
The taxes imposed on account of
the war are undoubtedly a serious
burden; but it must be remembered,
on the other hand, that the country
has for some time enjoyed a high
degree of prosperity, thus enabling
cur people to pay the taxes for which
the war calls.
There is, indeed, no light task ahead
of us and it is only the part of wis
dom to recognize its serious nature.
But the country is united and power
ful, and with no shrinking from the
duties of the hour we shall Dass
j through this trying-period unharmed
and triumphant.
The military situation in Europe
l.ns of late revealed some hopeful
features and some that were dis
quieting. Of the latter the threatened
collapse of Russia was the most seri
ous a menace which now seems to
have disappeared.
Although there has been some de
pression in the stock market, and
prices have gone down to a very low
level, and while some signs of hesita
tion in business have been discerned,
the general activities of trade have
not perceptibly slackened. It may be
the uncertainty of the past few weeks
arose merely because the general
policy of the government with respect
to the war had not yet been made
clear. Now that this is known, there
wculd appear no sound reason why
business should not resume the pace
to which it has been accustomed for
some time.
