The Forbes amendments to the de linquent tax list bill »vere adopted. Under the hill as amended the formal notice of delinquency will be mailed 90 day* after the tax becomes delin quent, and 30 days later all unpaid taxes will be advertised In the papers.

The bill does not affect in any par ticular the status of the pending legl lalation between the federal govern ment and the Southern Pacific rail road over the title and ownership of the Oregon A- California grant lands. It merely asserts the sovereign right of tliij state of Oregon for ever to tax the lands, regardless of who ewns them.
