Illtl l.lkely te Qalt I.lae.
It Is believed now that Mr. Hill Is
In a position to engage openly In de
velopment work that he will devot
all hla tlm to It aa soon as h can
relinquish bis connection with th rail
road enterprise of which h la tha
head. H haa frequently confided with
his friends his lov for development
and coloniaatlon work and hla compar
ative aversion for railroad work. 11
la a lover of natur and of outdoor
life and when onca h Is In a position
to devot hla tlm uninterruptedly to
this great enterprise h will make hla
presence and hi Intaraat In tha atat
felt.
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. Ha will
assist tha worthy farmer In every way
i mmjt for hla land and
to aeveiofc r i
take pains at th earn time that non
It passes into inf uauua v .
. . ... at... .t..
favorabla prices of this property will
compel a reduction In th figures at
tached to other land In th same terri
tory and against the prlcea of which
there haa been much complaint.
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.

Lard is made from hog fat It is not

Cottolene contains not an ounce of hog-fat
It is a vegetable product made from the

If you want purer, more healthful food,

you have eaten it, be sure that it is cooked
in Cottolene.

HIGH SCHOOL PRIXCIPAXS RE
PLY TO COLCMBL.VS CHARGE.
Educators Say There Was Xo Inten
tion to Slight Catholic Institu
tion In Schedules.
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

He was still conscious when dragged
out and rushed to a hospital, and re

bead. No broken bones wert found.
