Considerable interest is being
aroifsed here over the railroad lands
here, to be opened up on the 22nd of
this month. The squatters, who have
been on since December, 1913, con
tinuously, will probably have no
trouble in holding, their claims, but
those of a later date who have been
away a good share of the time, will
find other applicants and the for
tunate one will be determined by a
drawing.
William Alt, who has been living
on a railroad claim longer than the
law required, up on the Sandy river,
near Brightwood, made a lot of im
provements, has been notified that
his land has been set aside for water
power site. This is a case of rank
injustice, as Alt has complied with
the law in every respect and is an
honest, hard working citizen. This
land is good agricultural land and
not necessary in the least for a
water power site. About one-fourth
of the state is now held out of use
by a set of grabbers and grafters or
foolish and absurd theorists. This
land is intended for settlers to make
homes on and thus develop the
state. They tell us to raise men,
food stuffs, and yet prohibit us from
using the land.
So much water is taken out of the
Sandy river by the P. R. L. & P. Co.
at the dam for their power plant at
Bull Run that the stage pf water Is
very low and the Chinook salmon
can hardly get between the rocks
and cannot get into the ladder to get
over the dam, and consequently are
dying by the thousands. People are
told to eat fish and save meat and
yet have an armed watchman to keep
everybody away from fish that are
an absolute waste. They are' not
even taking the eggs. Who owns
this state? The people or the cor
porations ?
Another case of injustice is tak
ing over the land on the Little Sandy
for the Bull Run reserve and pro
hibiting the settlers from using it
for a range. By no possible stretch
of the imagination can water fall
ing on this slope be carried into the
Bull Run, which is Portland's water
supply. This works a hardship on
the people around Marmot. Some
men in authority ought to be in an
institution for the feeble-minded.
Over 400 machines were out last
Saturday and Sunday, going up into
the mountains for a cooling breeze
and fresh mountain air. Lots of
fishermen were in the crowd enough
to get all the trout anywhere near
the roads. It is estimated that twice
as much money is spent on automo
biles as there is spent for public instruction.

Thrift, Conservation and

Then came Busch Made Furniture, an industry born at a time when the
pledge of thrift, economy and conservation became the paramount virtue
of, every industry and household in the land.
To buy Busch Made Furniture is a consistent fulfillment of that patriotic
pledge, for economy and serviceability are characteristic of Busch Made
Furniture.
Our line will be complete, it includes Dining Tables, Buffets, Chairs,
Library Tables, Breakfast Tables, Kitchen Cabinets, Dressers, Beds and
Bedroom Suites.
The material that goes into Busch Made Furniture is select and steam kiln
dried in our own plant by our new process.
Busch Made Furniture is made of oak, ash, fir and cedar and finished in
golden wax, natural wax, porcelain white and satin ivory enamel.
The new freight rates now in effect make the shipment of Eastern made
furniture absolutely prohibitive. By buying Busch Made Furniture you
save the exorbitant freight charges and the dealer's profit. We will sell
direct to you at the same prices other dealers have to pay for their furni
ture. That is why our new line is called the "economy line." That is why
you should buy Busch Made Furniture, because service is built in, not put
on afterwards, and is made to yield every atom of its wonderfulness.
In next week's issue of this paper we will have a more complete descrip
tion of Busch Made Furniturewatch for it.
