THE LAND-CHANT RESOLUTION.
"Innocent purchaser" tricks did
not avail at last to bar passage of
tho Fulton land-grant resolution in
tho House of Representatives at
Washington. Tho resolution was
adopted by that body after a two
months' fight with rnilroads and
timber syndicates, which constantly
tried to hide their illegal acts with
pleas for Innocent purchaser amend
ments. All these amendments have
been rejected and tho resolution
stands adopted just as It was writ
ten three months ago by Mr. B. D.
Townscnd. Any one of tho amend
ments would have defeated tho pur
pose of the Government and the ends
of justice, since the railroad and the
timber syndicates would have posed
successfully as innocent purchasers.
Now It may be expected that the
Department of Justice will at once
begin the suits authorized by tho
Fulton resolution "to enforco any
and all rights and remedies of the
United States of America in any
nanner arising or growing out of
or pertaining to either or any of the
following acts of Congress" granting
lands for railroads and for tho Coos
Bay wagon road.
Tho resolution will authorize the
Government to bring suit either to
compel sale of the land In compli
ance with tho terms of tho grants,
or to disposses the companies of tho
lanu by forfeiture proceedings. Thcso
alternatives will bo presented to a
court of equity. While some author
ities maintain that the Government
does not need tho Fulton resolution,
others assert that there can bo no
forfeiture proceedings until the Gov
ernment asserts tho right to havo
the lands revert for non-performance
by the companies of the condition
subsequent.
The Fulton resolution is the fruit
of ono year's work by tho Govern
ment. In that time the Govern
ment's special attorney, Mr. Town
send, made his Investigation and
report and tho Fulton resolution has
been adopted. Persons who aro
really Innocent pin chasers will not
bo molested, according to tho Gov
ernment's plan. Portland Oregonl
fin. Absolutely no Foundation For
Rumor That Steamship Was
On Fire Off Coos Bay.
Tho wild rumor from Portland
that tho steamship President, run
ning between San Francisco and
Seattle was on lire off tho Coos Bay
coast Friday, was absolutely without
foundation. Tho President reached
'Puget Sound early Saturday In good
condition nnd did not havo any
trouble on tho trip.
How the rumor started Is not
known. It Is presumed that some
ono got wireless messages at Port
land mixed up to such an extent that
nn Investigation was thought worth
while.
The wires being down nil day Sat
urday prevented an Investigation of
it then and It was not until Sunday j
that it was definitely learned that
the report was a canard.

(Continued From Pago 1.)
of people have been waiting to see
what the outcome would be when
Mr. Townsend took his fight into
Congress in the form of tho Fulton
resolution. Now that home-seekers,
actual bona fide settlers see that the
Government Is taking tho matter
seriously, they will flock to these
lands at a faster rate than the state
has ever known. I am confident of
that. I look to see a good share
of tho most available parts of tho
unsold portions of the grant gobbled
up within the next six months, not
only by people In this state, but from
all over the country.
Value of the Land.
"Tho railroad company, I under
stand, holds these lands worth about
$25 an acre, and the settlers under
tho law aro entitled td buy them at
$2.50 an acre. The 21 suits which
I have filed In the courts hero are
tho only cases so far where people
have undertaken to compel the Ore
gon & California Company to live
up to the law as set down in the
acts of Congress of 18G6 and 18G9."
Lafferty prepared a resume of the
legislation and historical facts rela
tive to the land grants to the O. & C.
Company for Attorney-General Bona
parte, and this resume was used ef
fectively in the hearings before the
public land committees of the Senate
and tho House in the fight for the
passage of the Fulton resolution.
"The contention of the railroad
company has been all along," con
tinued Mr. Lafferty, "that it had a
clear title to these lands, and that
It would not be compelled to sell for
$2.50 an acre or in tracts of only
1G0 acres each, and then only to
actual settlers. They have sold a
great deal of timber lands to the
big timber syndicates In tracts of
from 50,000 to 75,000 acres, and
nobody knows how much they got
for It.
"Whenever any people havo set
tled on quarter-sections and have
gone to the land agents of the O. &
C. Company and tendered them $2.50
an acre for this land, and demanded
a deed, the railroad officials have
laughed at them, but with the Ful
ton resolution now effective there Is
no reason why the entire tract from
East Portland to the southern boun
dary of Oregon should not now be
settled with amazing rapidity, for It
gives bona fide settlers much greater
guarantee that they will eventually
win out than they have had up to
this time."
The essential feature of the situa
tion and the one that will mean
great things for Oregon in the event
of the Government s final victory in
the courts is the fact that no time
Is to be lost In bringing the matter
before tho Federal court In this dis
trict. On the other hand, the O. & C.
Company be depended upon to put
up a powerful fight, for the reason
that the possession of $60,000,000
worth of land Is involved; a tract
bigger than two entire states of the
Union, and increasing In value very
rapidly.

sell it to every nierchiiiit and adver
tise the retail price so. I can't get
as much per sack as 1 do for
flour. Give me the exclusive sale
and I will drop all other brands."
Now What Do You Think of That?
This man hnndles n brand of Hour
that costs 10c. per barrel loss than
Sound lllne, and other brands of
Hour of equnl grade and has tho
nerve to charge 10 cents more per
sack
REMEMBER.
If you pay more than $1.10 per
snek for the best grades of AVashiiig
toii Hour you are paying too much.
At $1.40 per sack there is a hand
some profit for the merchant.

You then know the QUALITY IS
THE BEST and tho price Is the

OUR PURE PORK SAUSAGE
Hams must be trimmed and shaped and the nice lean
pieces of pork cut from the hams, with just enough of the fat
mixed In to make the sausage cook right not too fat and not
too lean seasoned with pure spices and made in as cleanly
surroundings as though In your own kitchen. That's how our
sausages are made. All pork used In our sausages has passed
government Inspection and we call them just what they are,
"pure pork sausage," nothing more nor nothing less. There
are "fancy brands" of sausage In the market at double our
price that can't touch them for goodness.
