OREGON CITY, April 28. (Special) Rev. John M. Linden, pastor of tho First Baptist church, has instituted a vigorous cru sade against tho' members of his church picking hops, stating that it is encouraging tho liquor Interests. In a sermon Sunday night, before a crowded church, he said. "It requires a quickened con science to crystallize action against hop-picking, which is part of the process of beer-making." A Sermon and What do you think of the prohibition side of the ques tion? It's in the sermon. I In 1907 Oregon hop growers raised and marketed FOUR f MILLION DOLLARS worth of hops. $ If Oregon is voted "dry" no market in the world will take Oregon hops. If Oregon votes for prohibition, Oregon brewers will have no use for barley or hops. Do Oregon hop growers want to pay FOUR MILLION DOLLARS a year for the experiment? Let. us stop closing business up and try opening it up instead 4VV4VV4-SSVVVVVVt-VVVVV-J-VVVVVV4VVV ANOTHER REASON Why mother has so many failures in bread-making is that tho experience of bakers has proven that it requires tAio blending of soveral brands of Hour to securo satisfactory results because no ono brand contains all tho elements of the wheat. Then It also re quires careful attention to have oven temperature- which Is almost Impossible to securo In privato homes. Our bread is always tho same. Uniformly good.

It ban already brought about a big reduction in freight rates fiO per cent on lumber, 30 per cent on coal, 40 per cent on oil, 20 per cent on grain and is now arranging a cotton tariff that will bring relief to our fanners, who are heavy producers of this crop. That's prettv cood for n body that has only been in existence since Inst November, isn't it ? These reductions' mean a saving of millions of dollnrs annually to our people. What is more, instead of kicking.

"No better disposition of tho land could bo made," said Superintendent Ackernian, today, in discussing the idea. "The land was granted by tho government to aid tho development of the State of Oregon through the building of a railroad. The govern ment fixed a maximum price nnd es tablished other restrictions as to sale of the land. Itallrond Has No Claim. "As I am informed, the railroad company sold part of tho land for practically enough money to make up the total to which It would bo entit led at the maximum rate on the whole grant. The company has therefore no further claim to tho land, especially in view of tho fact that It has refused to carry out tho terms of tho grant and aid In the de velopment of the state. Having onco granted tho land, there is no reason why tho government should now de sire to retain it. It could not use tho land for the development of tho State to better advantage than by turning It over the public schools of the State. "If the land were so donated to the state, proper restrictions could be made to prevent its sale to spec ulators. So much of it as is located on the headwaters of streams could be withheld from sale by tho State and made a forest roservo for the conservation of water, Tho State could adopt tho plan of selling tho mature timber, and not tho land, thereby protecting tho young growth of timber and preserving tho forests for future generations. Help Development of State. "At the same time, the Irreducible school fund, which is now only about $4,000,000, would bo practically doubled. All the children of the State would get the benefit of the grant, and the improved condition of the public schools would very appre ciably aid in tho development of the State. The original purpose of the grant has been accomplished through tho building of the railroad. The progress of the State has been retard ed because the land was not placed on sale under the terms of the grant. The government should make such disposition of the land as will most nearly remedy tho wrong that has been done."

In Linn county alono possibly 50, 000 acres of these lands have been filed on and applied for and the ten der made to tho railroad company ofllces In San Francisco. Fees rang ing from $15 to $50 have been paid for this privilege, and the parties lo cating tho seekers after timber lands assured them that they would havo a priority of right and have tho first undisputed claim to tho lands in question should the government suc ceed in their efforts to declare tho lands forfeit. Fakers nt Work. When tho matter was first made public tho rush for these claims was akin to madness, and parties well versed In the subject declared that not ono of them could possibly ac quire any prior right to the lands in question. The madness for timber lands reached such a height that hundreds of local parties and from elsewhere wore induced to pay large sums into the hands of locators, whoso only motive was gain, with no thought that tho parties so located would ever bo able to realize on the lands in question. A most elaborato program was followed, and if complying with all possible legal requirements amounts to anything the claimants for these lands should receive consideration. The plan was as follows: First tho persons desiring to be located accepted tho cruise of some locator, and on being acquainted with tho description of tho lands made an affidavit to tho effect that they had settled on these lands and were actual residents and homeseek ers. Not Worth the Fee. This application was filed with the county recorder and placed on rec ord, together with a statement that the tender had been made the rail road company, and that their appli cation for purchase had been reject ed by the railroad company. Over 300 of these papers have been rec orded in the office of tho county re corder and according to the decision they are not worth the fee of re cording. In addition to tho above many of tho claims have been duplicated and even if tho applicants should havo an opportunity to purchase endless liti gation would ensue. Many of tho parties In applying for the lands were induced to apply for lands in other counties without any Idea of settlement or sincerity on the part of tho would-be possessor of these railroad lands. In fact in many in stances, tho affidavit reads that they aro actual residents on the lands ap plied for when the citizens of this section and in other portions of tho state know that they aro engaged in Business and havo made no attempt o comply with the laws relating to -esidenco and settlement. The whole matter is decidedly complicated, and the ruling of tho iepartment that these are of no con sequence and worthless will bring some order out of the chaos and save endless litigation and possible pro secution of false affidavits made by tho seeking purchaser. $559555$$?$$ A Few Cents Invested We are now prepared to store your goods.
