That Mr. Kill also la seeking to gain control of other property In Central Oregon la evidenced by th recent activity of men who ar said to be closely asaoclated with him. I. II. Hol land, manager of th Pacific Livestock Company, th headquarters of which ax at Bursa recently reported that negotiations for th sale of th com pany's ranches to Mr. Hill war under way. Other Laad May B Saagbt. The report that Mr. Hill alao Is mak ing efforta to gain control of other large holdings In the central part of th stat haa been persistent for th last few months. By his repeated utteraneoa on fre quent visit to Portland Mr. Hill haa shown that h Is heartily and alncerly Interested In th development of Ore gon and that h la a believer In tha aoundneaa of th theory that low-priced land to attract tha aettler la th best means of developlpg and benefiting th ' Whll th actual figure at which Mr Hill and hla partners hav obtained possession of this Central Oregon prop, rty haa not been determined. It Is low enough that tlvey will b abl to plao the property on th market at a com paratively low price. Price Law, la Rewart Mr Hill. It Is understood, has mad plans to offer It for sale to legitimate settlers at attractive prlcea.

This transaction. It Is believed, means as much, or more, to Central Oregon and to Portland than th construction of two competing lines of railway up the Deschutes Canyon a year ago. It will open the way for an army or settlers who will hav th protection of a great corporation interested In their prosperity thrown about them. It probably will mean th Influx of thousands of honest and well-intentioned farmers, who will contribute materially to th development- and prosperity of Portland and numerous small cities In th central part of th state. Development la A -mured. Development of th agricultural re sources of this great acreage will aid materially In relieving PorUand from th neceaslsty of sending millions of dollars to tb East and Middle Weat every year for poultry, dairy and farm products that should be produced In the atate. Renewed railroad activity In In terior Oregon also will be an outcome of this Investment by Mr. Hill, as the railroad la sure to follow the settler. In fact. Mr. Hill and hla father often hav aald that If they are sure that the settler has an Inclination that he wanta to fill up a certain portion of the country, the railroad will be found there just a little ahead of him.

Principals of the three Portland high" schools yesterday denied charges brought by Columbia University of un fair discrimination against that school In the scheduling of athletic contests. "We are willing to meet Columbia TJniveraity In all sports and will give them a game any time they want it," said Mr. Herdman. of Washington, yes terday: The only reason we have bad no games with Columbia this season is that-they failed to ask for them. If Columbia still wishes a basketball game they can have it. "There Is no lnterscholastic league, continued Mr. Herdman. "The schools which drew op the schedule for the basketball season decided that they wanted games and consequently met and drew up a schedule." Columbia University asserts that it had promises for games from all the principals, but T. T. Davis, of Lincoln High, declares that he never spoke to Columbia or any of the other schools about games and was under the im pression that Lincoln had played Co lumbia. "I know nothing at all about the athletic affairs of the school, aa I leave that entirely to Mr. Roberta and Mr. Garman. memSers of the fac ulty." he said. Jefferson Is on good terms with the Peninsular school, having played it In football. Two games have also been scheduled between the two for the com- 1U8 uaocuou n "The high schools have so arranged the schedule that they cannot well give us games without Interfering with the regular plan, or placing them so far In the season tnai ii wuum uo possible to keep our team In shape, said Father McGinn, of Columbia, last night. "Some players on the other teams recognize such a thing as an ln terscholastic league, too, for a number have remarked that even If games were planned they would not affect the championship of the city, as Columbia was not In the combine. Mr. Roberts, of the Lincoln High, told us In a let ter which I still have, that It was not then convenient to play the Columbia team, but that later in the season a game could be arranged. Three times attempts were made to get a date with Lincoln, but each time It waa post poned." CHINESE AVIATOR FALLS Tom Gnnn'a Biplane Bucks and He Is Burled Beneath Wreckage. OAKLAND, Feb. 22. Tom Gunn. the Ban Francisco Chinese aviator, had a narrow escape from death at the meet here today when his biplane fell from a height of 150 feet and burled him beneath the wreckage.
