The Kind You Have Always Bought. In Use for Over 30 Years
HOW LAND ESCAPES TAX
rniVATE persons own it, but
RECORD TITLE IS IN THE STATE.
Acltntion for a Law That Will Not
Permit Tills Cinalan of the
IJnrdcn of Government.
SALEM. April 15,-Clerk M. L. Chamber
lin. of the State Land Board, recently re
ceived from a few County Assessors re
quests for lists of persons who have had
state land deeded to them within the past
J ear. The object the Assesrors have In
Mew la to perfect their present owner
ship Indexes so that If purchasers from
the state have not recorded their deeds,
the land may be assessed and taxed. Mr.
Chamberlln says that while furnishing
lists of lands detJed Is outside of his
official duty, he will be pleased to give
every Assessor who declrcs It a descrip
tion of all the tracts deeded during the
year, with the names of the grantees. As
sessors are required to pay the cost of
typewriting, but this Is very smalt
An land Is not assessed while owned by
the state, and does not usually get on the
assessment roll until a deed Is recorded,
purchasers have learned that It pays to
keep their deeds unrecorded. Their title
Is secure, and It is not necessary to perfect
their record titles until they wish to sell.
The law regarding sales of state land
makes It possble,'ior purchasers to avoid
taxation by holding certlilcates of sale
and not taking deeds. When a man pur
chases a tract of land from the state he
makes a partial pavment and receives a
certificate of sale. The balance of the
purchase price Is paid In Installment, and
when all the payments are made and the
certificate is returned, a deed is Issued
Interest Is charged upon deferred pay
ments. By paying all the Installments ex
cept the last, a purchaser may hold his
land for an unlimited length of time by
simply paying interest at S per cent on
tho small balance due.
For example. acres of timber land
may be bought for tZO. and all except J10
or even Jl. paid. For the nominal sum ol
60 cents or 6 cents per year the pur
chaser may hold what amounts to a per.
feet title to the land, and have it exempt
from taxation. "While he has practically
paid for the land and may get a deed by
paying the small balance, the state still
holds the record title, and the land cannot
be taxed.
It cannot bo readily determined from
tho records how much land Is, thus held
by purchasers. From the last report of
tho clerk of the State Land Board It ap
pears that there are at least 3500 ccrtlH
cates outstanding, and there are probably
many more than that number. The acre,
age represented by the certificates varies
from 40 to 220 acres. Officials In a posi
tion to know estimate that probably one
half the certificates are now held upon the
lost installment of principal, and pajlng
6 per cent Interest. So far as the State
Land Board Is concerned, this Is very
satisfactory, for the Interest Is being paid
into the school funds of the state. But
while, the land Is really owned by Indi
lduals, the counties cannot tax It.
If these certificates were owned by set
tlers or by many Individuals of small
means, there would probably be little fault
found with the law. but as foreign syndi
cates and speculators' have bought up
many of the certificates and are holding
them as a peculation, the law is severelj
criticised. The act of 1SW regarding the
sale of state lands provides that not mort
than 230 acres shall be sold to any one
person. It has b?en found, however, that
timter syndicates hire unscrupulous per
sons to buy state land and Immediately
assign tho certificates to the syndicate fur
nishing the purchase money. The land li
thus being gobbled up by f peculators, who
hold it without paying taxes.
The same condition which prevails with
regard to timber land exists also In con
nection with the cultivated farms and city
property acquired by the State Land Board
ttirfilitrh tho fnraMntnrn rt mn-f r-iA- Tw
Instance, the board yesterday bid In at
iorcciosure sale wo acres ol the best farm
land In the vallpv. nnil nrtfonont tn tVtn
City of Salem. The price was the amount
mc uuaru iiau loaned upon me land, to
gether with cost, aggregating JS21C 12. Un
der the present law the board may sell
this land at the price paid, accept a part
payment. Issue a certificate of sale, and
irlve a depd nrhen tl final rtivrmATC feia

ine purcnaser, on the other hand, may

ium-s io return nis certiucate )3 deed can
be Issued to him, and, while he has full
title to the IftnH Via nnlria It C .
of the State Land Board, as owner of

There is no disposition to criticise the
officials of the Land Department for the
conditions which exist, and no one blame
speculators for taking advantage of a law
which Is in thlr favn. r,-A .
agitating the matter, among them As-
o.-ur iioD.iri. oi .Marion county, contend
that the law should be changed so as to
make tho purchaser's Interest In the land
assessable, or at least so as to require
him to make his final payments promptly,
and to take n riAiw) -mri nt It itn.. aaA-
so that the land may be taxed.

THOSE COLVH.I.E LANDS.
Description of the Section to Be
Opened to Settlement.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
"It Is a great disappointment," said J.
M. Hagerty. who Is familiar with the
reservation and Its resources, "that the
opening Is placed so far In the future. The
Washington delegation In Congress should
make the passage of the pending b'H al
lowing it to be opened at once their first
business until it is accomplished.
"Could settlers go on the land at any
time from now until June L they could
get In crops, at least of late vegetables
which would carry them through the win
ter; they could also put up hay and have
their buildings and necessary fencing
completed.
"There Is no section of the United States
today open to settlers, nor have I ever
known any place or section so rich as the
Colville reservation. Its advantages are
manifold. On the north half about three.
quarters of the land Is rolling, open bunch
grass land, on which a ton of bunchgrass
hay can be cut to an acre. The country
Li well watered, and there Is sufficient
timber for domestic purposes; about one
fourth of the country Is mountainous and
covered with timber, and contains untold
wealth In Its minerals. It will furnish a
home market for all that can be raised
forever.
"That strip of country lying between
tho Columbia and the Okanogan rivers
known as the north half has an area 4)
by TO miles, or more than 1.500.000 acres.
The Indian allotments have taken up less
than 100.000 acres, and' leaving 400.000 for
tho mountainous section and mineral,
leaves 1.000 000 acres, or homes of 1C0 acres
each for C0O0 families, or 30.000 people. The
mines will employ many times that num
ber within a few years.
"Could we have the reservation thrown
open Immediately there Is no question but
what the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific Railroads would both push the
construction of their roads into that coun
try at once. I was talking today to an
Immigration man who is connected with
all the large Immigration eoc'etles In the
United States, and he assured me that the
railroads already have 6000 people await,
ing the opening of the Colville reservation
to Join the stampede to get a new home
In almost the last place left to them In
America. There are as many In tho ad
joining states who have also been watch
ing the Colville reservation, and it wo
could get It open before June 1 It would
add 30.000 people to our population before
the taking of the next census and. with
our present population, would entitle us
to four Congressmen for 1902, Instead of
two, as at present."

THIMCI.IG ABOUT CREAMERIES.
Lane Connty Farmers Disposed to
Shift From Gralncroirlnir.
EUGENE. Or., April 13. The creamery
question is beginning to be the subject of
considerable discussion by the business
men and farmers. Thero seems to be a
good deal of demand for creameries at
various points in the county, but no lead
ing spirit to launch the enterprise. There
Is a small creamer In operation In Eu
gene, but it Is not a thorough success, for
tho reason that the farmers have not fur
nished sufficient milk. Dairying is new to
most of the farmers In this county, and
it will take time and demonstration to
show them the advantages of dairy farm
ing, over wheatralslng. A few farmers
have been keeping a few cows, from
which they derive good revenue. Some of
them patronize the creamery, while oth
ers make their butter at home. Three or
four dairy farms In tho county are op
erated on a fairly large scale, having their
own creamery, or cheese factory, and
handling their product in the approved
manner of experienced dairymen. Tho
dairy farm of S. M. Douglas, near Spring
field, Is the best-known. It Is a model
dairy, and Mr. Douglas Is getting rich
at It.

CONFESSION IS AN INCUBUS.
Amending? Present One Will Not Meet
NccesItlcB of the Case Must
Be Wholly New.
NEW YORK. April 15. Rev. Dr. Charles
Parkhurst. speaking in his pulpit in Madison-Square
Presbyterian Church today,
mado a vigorous assault on the Westmin
ster confession of faith. Ho said:
"We ought to have a new confession,
of faith. It Is surprising that the Pres
byterian church Is able to do as much as
It is doing with such an incubus strapped
upon us as we aro tottering under In our
present confession. In the first place, tho
thing needed Is not a system of theology,
for that Is what our present confession
is, but a simple brief Saxon statement of
a half dozen of the vital Ingredients of
Jesus Christ's message to the world, I
could get along with a confession of faith
containing but tho little that Jesus said
when he was trying to make a Christian
of NIcodemus: 'God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever bt.1Ieveth In him ehould not
perish, but have eternal life.' That gives
to us the doctrine of God's unlimited",
love, human guilt, the divinity of Christ,
salvation through Christ, "faith in Christ,
Immortality; every word Saxon, three
quarters of the words monosyllables, pro
found enough for any elder, simple enough
for anj 4-year-old,
"At any rate, we want a new creed.
Amending this one will not meet the ne
cessities of the case. Better give It a
dignified place In the museum for what
It is than hack It to pieces and revamp It
for what it Is not."
