l'rcaches Against llopplcldng.
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.
Ask your grocer to send Diamond (D) or Homemade if you
want tho best.

State Corporation Commission
Successful In Oklahoma.
By P. E. PRINGLE, Merchant, of Guthrie. Okla.
UK now state of Oklahoma is not half so wild and woolly ns
outsiders have been made to think. I do not think that wo
have gone to excessive lengths of radicalism, and yet we have
done more to curb corporate power than any state of the
Union. Our plan of a STATE CORPORATION" COMMISSION'
HAS BEEN AN EFFECTIVE MEDIUM in bringing about this
condition, and I am here to tell you that the commission has beeu a
success, as THE RAILROADS THEMSELVES ADMIT.
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. THE RAILROADS
ARE CO-OPERATING with the commission and signifying their
intention to work with it for the mutual benefit of the general public
and of the transportation companies.

the land has returned to the owner
ship of tho United States.
"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."

ants, who rushed onto these lands
and paid high sums to unscrupulous
locators.
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.
