THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST B1. 1909.
STATE HAS NO POWER
TO STOP LAND LOTTERY
SALEM, Or., Auk. 31. "Since tlio
transaction between (lie Rooth-Kelly
Lumber Gompnny and the Oregon
bililary road grant was purely a gov
eniment transaction, I cannot see
wherein the state lias any right of
interference in the lottery proposi
tion of the Oregon Valley Land com
pany, wherein there is to be a draw
ing upon approximately 300.000 acres
of agricultural lands in Lake and
Malheur counties," said Treasurer
Steel, the only member of the state
land board in the city this afternoon.
It appears that the Oregon Valley
Land company purchased 500,000
acres of land in Lake nnd Malheur
counties from the Booth-Kelly Lum
ber company and segregated 300,000
acres of the tract as agricultural
and is attempting to pine eit on the
market under the lottery system nt an
average of $200 per ract of from
10 to' 1000 acres. E. T. ITehfield
of Guthrie, Okln., says the majority
of the land is practically worthless,
and proposes to appeal to the state
land board to block the deal.
NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP
NOT BUMPER, SAYS HILL
ST.
If you are particular in regards
to what you cat for breakfast, you
should get the habit of eating at the
Louvre Cafe. Their hot waffles and
maple syrup can't be beat.
PAUL, Aug. 31. A nolo of
warning to crop statisticians who are
predicting a bumper crop of wheat in
the Northwest was sounded by James
J. Hill in an interview yesterday.
Much harm will bo done to tlio busi
ness of tlio country in encouraging
overspcculalion by the statements
sent broadcast that the Northwest
will harvest n bumper crop, according
to the railroad magnate.
"I believe that the Northwest will
harvest a crop that will be about "0,
OlIO.OOO bushels larger than some
previous years," said Mr. Hill today, i
but the statement that a bumper crop
fs expected is far from true."
Prepaid Raiiroao Orders.
"Something which is of consider
known is the system of prepaid or-
able interest to the public generally!
and which is uerhnps not generally
ders now in effect between stations
of the Southern Pacifio company
and all points in the United States.
By means of this system tickets may
ba purchased at Medford from any
olace in the United- States and mail
ed or telegraphed direct to the party
wishing to come here. Sleeper ac
commodations and small amounts of
cash in connection with these tickets
may also be forwarded at the same
time."
