He says so him self and Oregon peoeple may hopo It will bo done. Ho also remarks that Oregon needs some way of open ing tho land granted to military road companies. Oregon has known the latter evil and felt It deeply for years. Sho knows she needs some way to open those grants to settle ment. The trouble is sho hns not been very honestly served in public ofllco else the men who have been keeping these holders of wagon road and military road grants would have used their brains to think out and put Into legislative enactment some salutary law, to mako tho holding of vast tracts of land Impossible. Such a law If properly framed could easily favor nil legitimate timber manu facturing or grazing enterprise and It has been tho practice In sonio sec tions of tho world to employ the weapon of taxation against mere speculation and to modify the provi sions for tho benefit of active and honest industry. It will be a piece of good fortune for Oregon if Mr. Harrlman will set tho pace for other companies by dis posing of tho Southern Pacific com pany's lands to actual settlors. It will also put money Into tho com pany's treasury which wo may hope will be used in extending railroads Into tho isolated districts of tho stato. These land grants for roads liavo been a curso to the Pacific coast. Fraud has been tho most dis tinctive featuro of most of them In ono form or anothor and tho stato las dorlved llttlo or no benefit from any ono of them. They have rested as a dead weight on tho spirit of tho people, discouraging onterpriso and barring progress. "Yes," said Ed. Jones of the Pioneer Hardware, "I won the game in the last frame of the twelfth in ning, doing It on a single which brought in three runs. You see, it was this way.' Merced and Modesto were tied for 1st place up to this, the last and deciding game for the championship of the San Joaquin valley league. The game was played at Modesto. The feeling was so in tense between tho two towns that it looked as though it might all end up in a row, and talk about crowds, there were fully ten thousand people there, about evenly divided, and tho tension at the time was so great that it seemed as though no ono had tak en a breath for fully five minutes. Wo won tho toss and took our outs. It was one, two, three order in jig time, but they gave us the same dose. "For eleven innings not a soul had gotten acquainted with the third baseman on either side, when In the first of tho twelfth, off two dinky hita and an error, two men came over tho pan, making tho score two to nothing. I was playing the key stone position for Merced and was eating up everything that came my way, daisy-cutters, liners and Texas leaguers. Both men were pitching like demons and it was our last chance. The first two men fanned out. Tho third got a pass; the next a single, when it was my turn at bat. I picked out my good old wagon tongue and strode to tho rubber. Cheer, upon cheer came from tho Merced gang, but jeers, cat-calls and hisses camo from the other side. "I told you I won it on a short single, and I'll explain. The first one over I fouled off. Hatsv, lap robes, whips, cushions, tin cans, and every thing loose was thrown In tho air. The next one I met about the middle of the bat, and it fell just over first baso and dropped into a tomato can, and before they could get it out of the wo had all crossed tho oyster and the game was won. Ah, me! 'Those were tho days they played ball," said Ed. as ho turned to sell a lady the can wo had all crossed the oyster and tho game was won. Ah, mo! Col. Cody of tho Cody Lumber Co,, has about completed his mill and in a couple of weeks will be running full blast. 4. 4. 4.

The Is sue is timely because of the cheap colonist rates which are now In ef fect and because thousands of peo ple aro anxious to come to this coast and settlo In pleasant cllmntlc con ditions. Enstern Oregon Is n mild and delightful climnto to thoso who bavo Bpent many wintors east of tho Missouri and north of tho Ohio river. Southwestern Oregon seems excep tionally lino to thoso who havo dwolt long In tho colder regions of eastern Oregon. , Jt is stated that nfter tho closo of September this jcar no mora colon ist rates will bo granted by trans continental lines. Whether this Is so cuu not bo verified except by tlmo becauso ovon transcontinental lines havo boon known to, chango 1111 ex pressed policy. But tho opportunity now Is ono which will probably bo useful to Coos Bay and this remark able region.

"Our investigation," said Mr. Gar flold, "hns brought to light tho fact that thoro is a lumber trust.
