FURTHER DELAY UNLIKELY ally supposed to b of extended acreage, the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart ment of Agriculture has Issued an esti mate showing that In the states where these fields are largest their size aver ages a little more tnan 300 acres. California alone Is an exception to this rule, as in that state the average acre age reaches 19 acres. In North Dakota the average Is 115 acres. In Washington 110 acres, and Oregon 105 acres. Although there are some enormous fields of wheat In these states, the many smaller ones reduce the average size to that of an ordinary farm. New England has the smallest wheat' fields, the average of such fields In Ver mont being only three acres. The values of both wheat and corn land are greatest in Illinois, where the aver age value Is f-4 an acre for' wheat and tlflO for corn land. The Central West shows prlres ranging below those of Illi nois. Ltfuid values In the Southern states are low. averaging $32 for wheat and 127 for corn land. Ju&zc Wolverton Has Ruled That Railroad Counsel Mast Vile an Answer Brief Prepared by tiie Government's Attorney. Intervenors la the case of the Fnited States against the Oregon & California Railroad Company yesterday allowed their time for filing briefs to expire with' out presenting the document to the court. Neither was a copy served on Judge W. IX Fenton. representing the defendant coro- ! pany and its successor, the Southern i Pacific Company, nor upon B. D. Town- send, special prosecuting attorney for ( the Government. Juris Charles E. Wolverton, presiding at the trial of the controversy which . Involves title to all unsold subsidy lands, is out of the city, and It is believed to be Impossible for the attorneys rep resenting the Easterners who hsA-e en deavored to secure a foothold In case the court shall order the lands sold to secure aa extension of time. The court is remembered to have exhibited a de ae of Impatience at the long delays whi-h have heretofore been had in the hearing. In June Judge Wolverton re fused to allow Attorney Fenton longer than September 3 for filing a reply to the brief prepared by the representative of the Attorney-General and the prospec tive brief of the intervenors. Delays Are) Frequent. The Intervenors were represented and heard on oral argument of the litigation had in March. lt It la thought prob able that they will now be compelled to rest their case on that presentation of the law. although the question aa to extending the tlma rests In the discretion of the court. Should an extension be granted, a Ilka delay would be asked for by the Southern Pacific Company. Seventeen months have already elapsed since the lawyers first gathered to argue the law appertaining to the demurrer upon which the case rests, and the d-elslon of which prac tically ends the litigation, so far as the lower courts are concerned. Two years and ftve months have passed since tiio case was first started. At the time the oral argument was presented, there were only a few inter venors, but at the time Judge Wolverton ruled that no more should be allowed to encumber the record there were aev- arsl thousands of such applicants. The litigation is considered to be by far the most important ever begim on behalf of the State of Oregon. There remain of the unsold grant lands ttt.0PO acres, valued at .0u0.00. They were granted as a subsidy for the building of the railroad, as the Southern Pacific Company contends, while the Govern ment Is endeavoring to have the grant set aside because of the failure of the holding company to comply with the con ditions prescribed In the act of Con gress. Conditions Not Fulfilled. The conditions were that the company should sell to actual settlers only In quantities not exceeding ISO acrea and for a sum not larger than C an acre. The company has refused to sell In one case, and sold In greater quantities than the maximum in the other. The interveners were led to believe that by making a tender of the price of a quarter .section at C30 an acre, which the company would refuse, they would have a right to the land If the Oovernment should win Its case. For that privilege the Intervenors paid the land promoters from $100 to $15" esch. and were assured of legal representa tion. The fact that many of the quarter sec tions of land were filed upon from flvo to M times by the land locators, caused Assistant Ptatrict Attorney Walter O. Brans to attempt to secure the indict ment of the land sharks before the 1 nited States grand Jury. After falling in this. Mr. Evans went before the court and protested against more claimants be ing allowed to intervene. Judge Wolver ton put on the lid. and intimated that he would not again extend the time for preparation of the briefs. " GUI's Creditors- Get Order. J. 8- Gill, the well-known Portland lumber and timber operator, did not appear In the Vnlted States Court yes terday morning to answer the contempt proceedings charged against him. Mr. Olll haa been operating In Waahington County, and a number of his creditors petitioned to have him declared an In voluntary bankrupt. They asserted that some of his lumber had been Bold to the Frank Lumber Company, of which Gill was manager. Judge R. S. Bean then Issued an injunction re straining the Frank Company from de posing of any of the material, and Paxgc E. l.eonard. attorney for cred itors, began the contempt proceedings upon the allegation that two cars of lumber had been sold in Portland. At torney Leonard yesterday asked to have the rase continued on the ground that a oompromiso settlement is In progress. FAKER SENT TO ROCKPILE Jewelry Salesman to I -earn Value of i Precious Stones.

Although the -wheat fields of the Far West are geoar- TIME IS NOT YET BIPE JTOGE LORIXG DISCUSSES CON SERVATION POLICY. Adoption Cannot Be' Accomplished All at Once, Says Slassachnsetts Supreme Court Judge. "There Is no 'conservation policy." declared Judge W. C, Lorlng. associate Justice of the supreme court of Maa.a chusetts. at the Portland Hotel last night- "It Is certainly necessary to conserve our natural resources, as they are becoming used up. but no definite policy has been adopted. president Roosevelt saw that 'something should be done to conserve the natural re sources and he merely suggested an Idea of conservation. The adoption of a policy of conservation will take time. It cannot be done all at once. Presi dent Roosevelt started other things, and President Taft is carrying them out. The necessity of conservation should be considered In its broad sense. I think the conservationjif the natural resources is to use them to the b.-st advantage and the best policy to adopt remains to be seen. "I believe the East views conserva tion In this light. I think the West misunderstands the East as much as the East misunderstands the West. If the Western Governors who are to hold a conference on conservation were to invite the Eastern Governors, there is no doubt in my mind but they would gladly attend and discuss the matter. I think the Western Governors are chasing a shadow. The feeling in the East has been overrated in the West. Like all other problems, conservation of the natural resources will be solved, and in the best Interests of all concerned." Judge Lorlnsr lives at Beverly and Is a neighbor of President Taft. "Although I live at Beverly and know the President. I have not seen him this Summer," said the Massachu setts Jurist. "President Taft likes quiet and to be let alone. He wants rest the same as all of us and the people of Beverly do not annoy him. "The Judges In Massachusetts, even the Police Judge, are appointed for life, and they take no part In politics. Thry are not even supposed to know anything about politics." "Is there any particular reason for the change in politics In Massachu setts?" was asked. "There has been no change In poli tics." replied the Judge. "Occasion ally a Democratic Governor la elected, but I have never known the Legisla ture to be Democratic Tou know the people grow tired of one man or one administration in continuous control of affairs and want a change. Then they elect a Democratic Governor. It is of no particular party significance." Judge Lorlng is accompanied by Mrs. Lorlng and her maid. They left Beverly July . and have been spending; the Bummer In the Itocky Mountains. GITY PLANT MHOBIZED SALEM DECIDES TO BCT WATER COMPANY'S SYSTEM. Misunderstanding as to Qualifica tions of Voters at Election Is Cause) of Great Excitement. SALEM. Or., Aug. JR. (Special.) Demonstrating that the city desires to secure a pure mountain water system, the first step toward that end waa ef fected today when the charter amend ment authorizing the Council to pur chase the Salem Water Company's plant and to expend J7S.00 In extending the mains of the city, oarrled by a majority of 83 votes. The election was exciting throughout the day. A general misunderstanding as to registration snd qualification of elec tors caused charges of fraud and Illegal ity to be bandied back and forth, start ing early In the day in some of the wards, and aa the voting progressed the excitement began to run high. It to the general opinion that what ever irregularities may have extetsd In allowing balloting, these cannot be proven to be sufficiently material to set aside the flnnl count and It Is believed the Council will Immediately take action to float the bonds and take over the plant- The plan is to hold sn election as eoon as possible and determine whether a filtration plant, under municipal super vision, will be established or whether water will be piped Into the cfty from the Lfttle North Fork of the Sanltaxn or from the Breltenbush.

PRINTING FUND MUST PAY Attorney-General Gives Opinion That Money Collected for Space In Books Under Corrupt Prac tices Act is Public Fund. SALEM. Or., Aug. 15. (Special.) The opinion is generally expressed here that the election under the cor rupt practices, or Huntly act, will re sult in an expenditure of at least $100. 000 by the state. At this ratio It will also mean a great deficiency In the public printing fund for the next Legis lature to grapple with. Attorney-General Crawford furnished the Secretary of State's office with a verbal opinion today to the effect that money for pamphlets under this act must come from the public printing fund and that money paid into the Sec retary of State's office for space in the pamphlets must be placed In the general fund. At the present time, the public printing fund has $31,300.04. out of which to pay for the corrupt prac tices act pamphleta and the printing for the departments for six months. General Election First Vnder Act. Thls Is the first time a general elec tion in Oregon has been held under the provisions of the Huntley act and the Secretary of State's office has dis covered it will be a stupendous task to handle the pamphlets. There Is a possibility of 142 dis tinct and separate pamphlets to be printed under this act. It Is also pos sible for every voter In the state to receive seven distinct pamphlets, be side the initiative and referendum booklet. Under the act, each electoral dis trict and division where state officers are elected, la to be provided with a separate pamphlet referring to the re spective candidates in that district or division. In addition, there shall be a pamphlet for each political party. Con sequently, under the provisions of the act there shall be the pamphlet for the state officers, for 2 different rep resentative districts, 24 Senatorial districts. 11 Judicial districts, two water divisions and two Congress ional districts. But one District At torney Is running this year. Total of Districts Is 71. This gives a total of 71 districts, which, multiplied by two, each political party having separate pamphlets, gives a grand total of 14$ pamphlets which are possible for the primary election. As there are 1$ Prosecuting Attorney Districts, it may be seen in some years there would be a possibility of a total of 163 entirely separata pamphlets. With this astounding array of litera ture confronting him. the Secretary of State is further required to see that Democrats get their literature and Re publicans theirs. He must send a gen eral pamphlet for state offioers to every voter in Oregon, tnen ne must segre gate pamphlets for the various dis tricts and electoral divisions, sending Reoubllcans and Democrats their liter ature respectively for each of the var ious districts. Voters Get Many Pamphlets. For Instance, in Multnomah County, each voter may receive a general pamphlet referring to the state of ficers. He will also receive a pamphlet representing candidates for Joint sena tor from Multnomah and Clackamas Counties, also a pamphlet for the candi dates who would be Senator from Mult nomah County alone; still another pamphlet for the Representatives and still another for the Joint candidate from Columbia. Clackamas and Mult nomah. On top -of these would oome a pamphlet for candidates from the Second Congressional District, after which Is a pamphlet representing can didates from the Fourth Judicial Dis trict. A booklet showing the merits of the candidates for the water divi sion Is also Included In this library. These numerous editions will be re oelved by the elector shortly after he haa had an opportunity of absorbing the $2 measures which are aet out in the initiative and referendum pamphlet. Another Complication Seen. Still another complication is seen in Issuing these books under the corrupt practices aot In the fact that candi dates from any particular district or division may also have bound In the back of the general stats pamphlet, if he chooses, the qualifications for office he sets forth, along with his picture. If this Is done the Secretary of State must take care that none of these gen eral pamphlets are circulated outside of the particular district to which the addendum refers. The State Printer, under the law, is allowed to collect for the prfcoe of the entire book, when such additional binding la made. When it has been decided at the primaries who shall be the nominees for the respective parties, the nom inees, by a process of elimination, are allowed to repeat this entire move for the benefit of the voters at the general election. It is estimated that postage on the edition of these pamphlets bo- fore the primaries will be $6500.
