The Ore u .National guard is very active in its efforts to obtain a suitable and per manent rifle range near thia city, lie .tides being immediately available for the use of mix companies, including those stationed at Vancouver, Wash., the range would attract any Ciiited Slates cruistTH and other naval vessels tu this port, since this practice is re quired ol the navy aa well. The mat ter has been taken up with the United St at on was department, mid strongest possible endorsement has gone forward from tlu Portland Commercial club and other organizations of Fort land.

' RAILROAD PROPRIETORSHIP WILL NOW BE TESTED First of t he government 's active slops toward breaking the land grip of tho Soul hern I 'nc i f ic in ( rcgon is marked by the Fulton resolution, which appeared hi the senate last Tuesday, directing the department of justice to begin court proceedings to enforce the rights of the United States. The rail road for nearly 40 years has ignored important terms of the Oregon Jt Cnl i forum land grants, that favored the public; namely, that tho lands should be sold at a price not exceeding $2.fi0 an acre, only to actual settlers and in tracts of not more than ItiO ncres to each purchaser. These suits will involve close Io :,IHI0,000 acres, held by the railroad and by persons who have bought from the raitroad in vio lalion of the terms nf tho grant. The resolution also direcls tho depart ment of justice to start suits to en force Hie rights of the I'nited States as to t he wit goo road grant between t'oos Hay and Koseburg, where O'J.OiMi acres of land are held by the Southern Oregon company a group of uon resi dent landlords, chiefly William W. Cra po. William J. Kotcb, Fliiah Smith. pi. ni.lenl, and Prosper W. Smith. These men are residents nf New York and Host on. According to the terms of this gtaut, made in ISiiH, the lands were to be sold for not more than $-.30 an acre and iu tracts of not more I h:in Hio; acres to each purchaser, Hoth tho Southern Pacific and the Southern Oregon companies refuse now to Hell the lauds nt '.'..'ot tin acre, and the railroad refuses to sell at nnv price. Hot h companies have sold large areas in bulk, ignoring the ltio acre limit, and at pri.es frequently much in excess of F-'.."it an s.re. The. railroad hss made such in bs to otherse than uctu;tl set tiers.

One of the aims: " A new church building by Septem ber, Hum," is almost aure to be real ized. At Christian Church Sunday. A large and appreciut ive nudience was in attendance Sunday morning. The minister spoke on the subject. "The Newness of Christianity." The sermon in part was ns follows: ' 'Christ in nit y is an original relig ion. It was not handed down by tra- dit ion. 1 1 was not the uotgrowth of human philosophy or reason; il was not compiled from preceding religions but it was new. "Wo are assured that the facts of history fully justify the following con clusions: (1) Christianity is the only religion thua far developed in the world that ia udapted to all mankind, to every individual, race or nation. (2) It ia the only regilion that promisee the forgiveness of sin. (3) Tt ia new nr original in promising eternal life.

" In hia opening remarks he called at tention to the sermon on hell delivered the previous night and said: "It is not God 'h wish that any should periHh. Strictly speaking, it is unit the govern ment, but the criminal that builds the penitentiary. So it ia not (lod but the sinner who makes hell. Hut find has put blocks in tho sinner's way to keep him if possible out of hell. Among these are the Bible, a mother's prayers, a ( .'hrist inn home a nd ot hers.
