Activities of the I. W. W. were bit

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 6. The sub-committee in
charge of the Coos Bay wagon road bill
today framed a report to be considered
later by th full public lands commit
tee. This report proposes that the two
land-grant counties shall receive 25 per
cent of the receipts from land sales,
the remaining 75 per cent to be turned
into the Federal Treasury.
As the bill was introduced, the- re
ceipts from Coos Bay land sales would
have been distributed, Just as Oregon
and California funds are to be dis
tributed, the state sharing equally with
the counties and the reclamation fund
getting 40 per cent.
As the sub-committee has drafted the
bill, the state gets nothing and the
reclamation fund nothing.
When Oswald West recently appeared
before the sub-committee he urged the
claim of the counties, but had little to
say about the rights and interest of
the state, and the sub-committee's
finding against the state is not lncon
