COST IS HELD ONE BARRIER Only Possible Result Would lie Recommendation for Disposition, Is Opinion, and Such Plan Is Declared Bad Taste. SALEM, Or., July 7. ( Special.) Nihe members of the State Senate and State House of Representatives, two of them Democratic (senators. have written to Governor Withy combe that they have the utmost confidence in his ability to solve to the best advantage the Oregon & California land tyrant case, and agree with him that a spe cial session of the Legislature for the present, at least, should not be called. The letters were in response to in quiries of the Governor as to what the Legislature thought of his proposed plan of procedure. Answers from the other members are expected this week, and it Is believed that virtually all will oppo.se a special session and ap prove Mr. Withycombe's course. 11. Slrayer, of Baker. State Sena tor, who Is one of the two Democratic members of the upper house, says in part; DiMpOMitlon IMan Im Offered. I have carefully read your plan with ref erence to the Oreson-CaJlfornia land grant and approve of much of ft. I especially ap prove of your position with reference to the special session. I fall to see what. If any thing, a special session of the Legislature could accomplish, further tlian possibly to suggest a pla.n, and that would have little or no weight, and, in fact, in my Judgment would be bad taste. The Senator suggests that Congress be urged to turn the land over to the state, with a provision that the state classify the land, sell it to settlers, set aside a small percentage to cover ex penses, and apply the balance on the payment of the total equity held by the railroad. Governor! Stand Im Approved. Samuel M. Garland, of Lebanon, the other Democratic Senator, writes the Governor: The plan outlined by you for the sale and settlement of these lands has many ex cellent features. I have no better plans to off er. Your position as Governor of the State gives you extraordinary opportunities of acquiring first-hand information along these lines. You are therefore much better qualified than any member of the Legisla ture to devise and carry out a suitable pla.u relative to the sale and settlement of these lands. I do not w ant to hamper or embarrass you by any suggestions. Any feasible plan that you may suggest will have my hearti est co-opera lion. As to the calling of an extra session of the Legislature I fhink that an extra session should be called only in case of an. emergency. If you. as Gov ernor, believe that you can handle the mat ter alone without the assistance of the Legislature in session, then I can see no need of calling an extra session. If. on the other hand, you feel the need of the advice and assistance of the Legisla ture in this matter, I believe that the mem bers would be willing to make the sacrifice necessary in their attendance upon the ses sion. This is a matter that you must de cide yourself, as the responsibility of calling an extra session, ,if one Is called, will rest with you, and I do not think that any pres sure hould be brought to -bear upon you in this matter one wav or the other. Senator Kiddle Gives Views. j E. K. Kiddle, State Senator, of Island1 City, inclosed in his letter a copy of one he wrote to ex-Governor West in reply to a query from him which in part is as follows: Yours; of the !;th to hand, inclosing copy of your letter to Governor Wtthycombe advocating calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of taking some action relative to the acquisition and dis position of the Oregon -fc California rail road land grant. I am very much pleased to see that some of our prominent citizens have discovered that they were "Asleep at the switch" when endeavoring to interpret the meaning of the so-called "Midnight resolution" and that t!eir "nightmare" over the passing of the resolution has aow left them: and that they are beginning to "See the light," and are willing to acknowledge that the resolution was -A step in the right direction." and that the state has some in terest and equity In this property that should be closely guarded and looked after. My position lias not changed regarding this matter, since voting for the resolution, and I am ready and willing to lend my aid and assistance at any time to further the de velopment of the resources of the state. Caret u 1 Action la U rgd. In his letter to Governor Withycombe Senator Kiddle says: As to calling a special session of the Legislature. ! do not think any call should be made until we have at least some Idea of what we want to do, and have formulated some plan whereby the Legislature could pass such laws as might be necessary to assist in carrying out und putting into ef fect such plans as might be devised. E. V. Littlefield, Representative in the Legislature, of Portland, says in part: I have given this matter considerable thought and I see no necessity for a spe cial session of the Legislature. I do not see how the State of Oregon can purchase these lands for one very good reason, and that is this: The Oregon & California. Railroad Company is held to be the owner of these lands, and I doubt very much If the said railroad company would consent to any ar rangement by which the title would be transferred to the State of Oregon. The railroad has title to the property and they are entitled to the sum of $2.50 per acre when the lands are sold. The surplus from the sale of these lands I suppose would become payable to the United States Government unless the Gov ernment should by some appropriate legisla tion turn over the surplus to the State of Oregon for the benefit of the school or other fund. I'roblem Held One for CongresH. These are problems which would have to be worked out by the Oreon delegation at "Washington, and. of course, we are desirous of having these funds inure to the benefit of the state, but in addition to this, of far more Importance to us is the settlement and development of the lands involved. W. W. Card well. Representative In the Legislature, of Roeeburg, says in part: Mr. West's proposition for the state to buy the lands for i;.5t an acre and then go Into the real estate business of peddling the land out, is entirely impracticable. Should the state buy the lands and then under take to sell them at a profit It would re quire the establishment of a new depart ment, which for convenience we will call "The ItailroAd Land Department." This department would have to have a head er chief commanding a salary of at least ;:o)f a year; probably ; deputies at salaries averaging $NhrO a year each; Hirt cruisers at salaries of $1 sf each : at l-at in clerks and stenographers at salaries of lr-o each ; office equipment costing J20.io, and probably five or six engineers, together with a dozen or more Inspectors, two o three draughts, etc. Long Period I eel a red Needed. It would require at the lowest posnible estimate years to dispose of the lands. The result would be that it would cost the state about V.,4MfO,t)to to sell the land. Add to this the purchHse price of the land ty.rHMMMio acres at $i..o per acre and we have the neat little sum of about ?lO.O(Mt.ot;0. In the meantime the state has received no In come by way of taxation from the unsold lands. Declaring that the value of the land Is greatly overestimated, Mr. Cardwell suggests "that the only rational thing to do is to let . the title to the lands remain ri-rht where it is and to benefit by such revenue as the land will yield to the state In the way of taxes. Let the railroad company do its own sell ing at $2.50 an acre and we will have more money at the end of 20 years than if we undertake to sell the land ourselves." Cost Xoted mm Barrier. Ployden Stott. Representative in the Legislature, of Portland, writes that he is confident the Governor -will use his best judgment concerning the callinir of j a special session of the Legislature," and adds: "A special session of the Legislature would be very costly, and I think before calling one a great study of the complicated matter should be made, and know that you will do so be fore calling a special session." L. J. Wentworth, Representative in the Legislature, of Portland, says: I am tersonatlv stronarl v oiiunn.! tn lh calling of a special seKiin of the Legist-- ture. I can see no eood from a special ses. j ...-..., iwi i u nut iteiieve mm very muny members of the session have any clearly defined policy formulated at tne present time. I know that I huve not ben able to arrive at anything (Win He in my own mind, and behe e mat any immediate action would be h.-istllv considered and possibly ill-advised, and I believe that you shoul'l discourage in every pon-dbte u ay the calling of an extra v.w.nn, ut least until such time as the state may have some weil formulated and genera'ly acceptable plan to plae before Congress. E. D.. Cusick, State Senator, of Al bany, writes: I am in hearty accord wit h your views, both as to the lack of necessity of an extra session and the disposal of the lands. 1 feel that we are fortunate fn bavins a iiovernor who can grasp these uestfons so firmly, for it appears to me th;t you advanced the first really sane solution cf the problem.

Plan Is to Keep Guardsmen Together Until Arrival of Liberty Bell for Escort. GENERAL WHITE ADVOCATE Patrol Infantry Drill on Kill at Cearliart for Today and Land Will Be Inspected for At tack and Defense Purpose. CAMP JACKSON. Goarharl. Or.. July 7- (Special.) The extension of the encampment of the Orecon National Guard to 11 'days is proposed to keep the company together until the arrival of the Liberty Hell. Adjutant-General Geora-e A. White is in Portland to ob tain the extension of time. He main tains that the escort of the Liberty Hell would be a Kreut deal larger by keep ing the men in camp one day loncrr than originally planned, than It would be if the men were mustered out and then mustered in a era in for this occa sion. Not only aie the company officers and enlisted men of the Third Infan try bcint; put through more thorough tests of proficiency at this year's camp of instruction than in years here tofore, but the mounted officers aa well are comins; in for their share Orders w.-re issued today requiring each mounted officer of the regiment and each mounted officer attached to the reslmcnt for duty to take an equestrian test. The test consist of varied kinds of rldinsr. Including clearing; a hurdle 30 inches hl;h. A physical examination also is required. After battalion and regimental exercises the officers of the regiment assembled at the Colonel's tent today for a conference. The prob lems that will be worked out In the afternoon exercises of Thursday and Kriday. theoretical, tactical, were ex plained. A problem to be solved to morrow by each battalion involves a knowledge on the part of the officers not only of their respective grades, but also of the next higher commands. Each battalion commander will act as a regimental commander and the three senior Captains of each battalion will be assigned as battalion commanders. The other officers will be assigned to positions in advance of their present rank. On the proficiency shown the In spector will report to the War De partment at Washington. Following the officers conference relative to the proposed theoretical tac tical march, the officers and non-commissioned officers were taken for tac tical walks and infantry patrol prob lems were solved. The battalions represented Invading forces of which a battalion had landed and was attempting to learn the posi tion and strength of the defending forces.
