of the land frauds" in asserted by Statt
Representative ('. Schuebel of Clacka
mas county In a statement given to
the press this morning.
"There are approximately 2,500,000
acres of land claimed by the railroad
company according to the best infor
mation that I have. About 500,000
m res Is agricultural land, not valuable
for timber, and the balance chiefly
'valuable for timber and In ome ln
utatiren when the timber Is removed
1he land can be used for agricultural
purposes, but the greater part of th
timber land Is in the mountains and
will never be used for agricultural pur
poses. The supreme court In passing
on this case said: 'This, then, belni;
the situation resulting from condition',
now existing, incident, it may be, to
the prolonged disregard of the cove
nants by the railroad company, the
lands invite tiow more to speculation
than to settlement, and we think,
therefore, that the railroad company
should not only he enjoined from sales
In violation of the covenants, but en
joined from any disposition of them
whatever or of the timber thereon, and
from cutting or authorizing the cut
ting or removal of any of the timber
thereon, until congress shall have a
reasonable opportunity to provide bv
legislation for their disposition in ac
cordance with such policy as It may
deem fitting under the circumstances,
and at the tame time secure to the de
fendants all the value the granting
acts conferred upon the railroads.
Give Company Equity.
"'If congress does not make such
provision the defendants may apply to
the district court within a reasonable
time, not less than six months, from
the entry of the decree herein, for a
modification of so much of the injunc
tion herein ordered as enjoins any ills
position of tho lands and timber until
congress shall act, and the court In ltd
discretion may modify the decree ac
cordingly.' 1
"This, then, beyond any question
gives the railroad company an equity
of $2.50 per acre and also indicates
that the supreme court is not In favor
of the strict enforcement of the grant,
because the lands tend more to specu
lation than to settlement.
"The plan adopted by the confer
( Ti-p, provides for selling all the land,
agricultural as well as timber land, at
J..ru per acre. If the land was to he
sold to ai-tual settlers only, it would

"The only object then can be to eret
possession of a quarter section of tim
ber land that Is worth $10,000 for $400
and sell It Just as soon as title Is ac
quired to tome large timber corpora
tion and the Individual make the profit
In place of the profit going to the
school fund for the benefit of the peo
ple of the whole state."
Mr. Schuehel said there were 1 1 i r s
factions represented In the land grant
i onference, viz., the railroad company,
n large number of speculators who see
possibilities of reaping .a harvest and
the poor man who actually delres a
tract of land for agricultural pur
poses. Should Further Education.
' "I believe the best Interests of the
people would be served by selling the
agricultural land to actual settlers
and Belling the timber land for what
It is reasonably worth and placing the
profits in a fund that wiH assist In
educating the children of the coming
generations as long as Oregon remains
n state.
"1 have no sympathy for cheap poli
tics or tho fellow who Is trying to cet
hold of a quarter section of tlmbe.'
that is worth $10,000 for $400 under
the guise of being an actual settler."
Uepreseritati ve Schuebel said he In
tended to attend the conference when
It convened again and try to hae his
defeated amendment adopted over th
c ne framed by tho corporation interests.

lie added that the heaviest financial
burdens were now carried by England
and Germany, but he did not believe
such expenditures enabled anyone to
form a conclusion regarding the dura
tion of the war; at least no such con
clusion could be reached concerning
Germany. He said;
Germany Is waging war almost ex
clusively by means of materials pro
duced by herself. She is exerting all
her producing energies. And the money
raised by Germany Is paid out to Ger
mans. America Will Grow Rich.
"The common expression that money
stays In the country may not mean
much, but the fact that Geimanv wag".s
its war not with money but with lis
labor, exerted in its most intense form,
means everything.
"Germany cannot be broken financ
ially as long as German energy, confi
dence and efficiency are not broken."
Dr. Arthur Halomonsohn of the Ger

will recover sooner from the war, but
that America alone will grow rich and
more powerful than ever.

He says that France has already
borrowed $6,000,000,000; that her best
productive regions for coal and iron
are in the hands of Germany: that
France must soon pay for foreign im
ports with gold, and that the flood of
Irredeemable paper money, which she
has issued will bring about an acute
c risis, and that "no one can tell what
will become of her."
These views are Important because
they are the opinions of two of the
greatest financiers In Germany.
New Tork, Sept. 21. (I. N S.)
Colonel Roosevelt will run again as the
Progressive candidate for president If
he thinks he has a chance to win. That
is the opinion expressed by Victor Mur
dock, chairman of the Progressive na
tional committee, today.
Division among the Democrats, the
possible nomination of William H. Taft
by the Republicans as a result, and
following both the happenings an ex
cellent chance for another presidential
fight on the part of the Progressives,
this is the vision of Mr. Murdock, who
attended a meeting of the county chair
men of New York state at the Hotel
Manhattan.
"To my mind, there Is bound to be
an explosion in the Democratic party
in the next six months," he said. "The
chances are then that the Republicans
will renominate William Howard Taft.
This will give us an excellent chance
If we show that we mean business.
This will call for a vigorous candidate
and a vigorous platform,"

the first of its fall and winter
Ht series of bi-weekly luncheons,
Governor Withycombe urged a
greater preparedness for na-

from a published statement
that two Portland school prin-

practice of having pupils march
to and from their classes, the
theory being it fostered mllitar- f

pared to defend ourselves. If lk
we smother the spark of pat- 4t
riotlsm in the schools we will

' children in their preparation for
citizenship."
Following his address, the
governor was made an honorary
life member of the club on mo
tlon of President Blaine Hallock.

WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. MASON
Former European Manager of
the United Press.
New York, Sept. 21. Exhaustion of
the German's artillery ammunition Is
the reason operations against the Rus
sians are indecisive.
The German advance has slowed
down from a run to a shuffle and
their large operation now result only
In minor advantages.
All of Field Marshal von Hlnden
burg's strategy has been unable to
overcome the Dvina defenses8 which
are infantile compared to the Vis
tula defenses. The capture of Vilna
apparently exhausted the Germans
more than did the taking of Warsaw.
From the Riga operations to the
Galicinn struggle, lack of Germanic
vigor Is apparent. Highly Important
Russian positions have fallen, but
with the way theoretically cleared,
the Teutons now seem to be getting
into deeper difficulties.
This condition Is not due to the
fact that the czar is now commanding
nor to a repletion of Russian ammu
nition. It is due to the Germans' ina
bility to establish a decisive su
periority in munitions.
The Russians lost theirs by capture,
graft and Inefficiency. The Germans
blew theirs up In the unprecedented
operations In the past five months.
This has given the Russians the ad
vantage. Absence of artillery ammu
nition necessitates close range fight
Injr. and equalizes the casualties. The
czar, however, can afford to lose
.more men than the Germans can.
Hence, the Germans must proceed
cautiously.
Woman Spy Is Sentenced.
London. Sept. 21. (T- P.) The
British government has sentenced a
German woman spy to 10 years' im
prisonment and has shot her male
companion, it was officially announced
today. Names and circumstances,
however, were withheld.

loring more clever than you will see in my dis

Progressivlsm Dead Issue, He Says.
San Francisco, Sept. 21. CP. N. &)
"Progresslvism is a dead issue In the
east."
Such is the opinion expressed here
today by William C. Ralston, after a
two months' trip in the east, during
which he conferred with leaders of the
Republican and Democratic parties ami
formed his ideas from close survey of
the situation.
The San Francisco Chronicle today
quoted Ralston in part as follows:
"There is not the slightest doubt
as to the attitude of eastern people
concerning the Progressive movement.
It ie no longer In their minds. And
the wonder is that there should still
be a trace of it in California,
"Some I met were sarcastic In their
allusions to our political situation.
California is politically impossible,' was
the comment. 'It asked for protection,
and it needs protection as much, if
not more, than any other state in the
Union, yet it Is a hybrid.' Through
out the east the wage earner is regis
tering Republican. This is true, both
in the great manufacturing states and
in the middle west. These states are
the backbone of the Republican party,
and nowhere do you hear anything
more of the Progressives. I have it
on excellent authority that Colonel
Roosevelt has announced that he will
be for any Republican for president
who is not absolutely inimical to him.
That, I take it, means a candidate
who may not be personally at outs with
him. This ts only important in that It
is convincing that the Progressive par
ty is a thing of the past."

mines are officially recorded as productive.
