After depicting In true colors and a most entertaining style the men that elnoe the encroachment upon the reign of the red men have constituted the sparse, widely-scattered and isolated population of the vast stretches of east ern Oregon.' but who are now rapidly passing before "civilisation, development and railroad construction." the speaker led to the question of public ownership of the railroads. lie took up the strain Introduced by President MacMaster, in Ha said a number of wonderful ' and beautiful cities are being built all along the Paclflo coast, from lower California to Alaska, and proudest of them all. be said, la the beautiful city of Portland.

"I would rather have been assigned some 'other subject," Colonel Wood ex plained, "because Z have talked, on east ern Oregon so much and so often that perhaps you have about run out.

The movement, he explained, had been started largely because the exigency ex isted especially in regard to eaatern Oregon, but he could see no necessity for the adoption by the state of this amendment now with th Hill and Har rlman interests contending for control of the eaatern Oregon business. Colonel Wood does not see .the matter In that light. Hi went on to explain that now Is the ttma for the state of Oregon to get Into the domain of some 12,000,000 acres of undeveloped- land and secure its right of way for rail roads that within the- hext It years would have an aggregate value of mil lions, so great that It could hardly be Imagined. VAnd you will have to come to It some time," he continued,' "so It Would be better to obtain these rights now, when the land may be had for the ask ing..- . ;.: Ha said the state should build and own. railroads and lease-them to com petent railroad managers, but have the aay as to, bow they wars to be run.
