Mrs. Gibber, wife of Captain Glbner, of Vancouver Barracks, read portions of a report of Major Field on the milk situation in the garrison. The report told of .troubles experienced in secur ing pure milk, and of the necessity of curing certified milk from Portland. It stated that there were more cases of tuberculosis at the local post than in any other post fn the United States, and fears were entertained that the post might be abandoned for some locauon jvnere neaitmer and more san ltary conditions existed. Since the milk situation was given more atten tlon, however, the number of cases has decreased during the last year.

Ohrenstein, C. S. B., member of the Christian Science board of lectureship, in the Second Church of Christ, Scien tist, East Sixth street and HoUaday avenue, last evening. The lecture will be repeated at the . same place this evening and Thursday evening - at' t o'clock. These lectures are free and the public Is cordially invited to at tend. , , Sassy Introduces peaks The speaker, wbo was Introduced by B. E. Haney, called attention to the works of, Jesus Christ teaching by example what God is, what God does and how God does what he does; heal ing of the sick and raising of the dead. "IMd, Jesus do these works through Ignorance or meVe belief In something, or did he da them because of a spe cific, demonstrable knowledge of their underlying principle or causer' asked the lecturer. "No rational being would claim that he did them through any thing but such knowledge, and if they were thus wrought through an exact knowledge or science, applied by Jesus Christ, were they not wrought through Christian science? That Jesus looked upon his works as a result of this sci ence, ts Indicated by that immortal ut terance: He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.'" This, the speaker said, could not be interpreted In any other than a defi nite demand . that those who under stand his teaching do aa he did. He added: Doctrines Are Explained. - "Recognition that no man has any other true mission than that which Jesus hadr led Mrs. Eddy to tbe dis covery of this science. It healed her when at tbe point of death aa the re suit of an accident, but she did not stoop with that. Nothing short of the prospective healing and redemption of all mankind could satisfy her loving reart. She practiced what she had dis covered, healing others and teaching them to do the same. , She made clear l.er doctrine In the text book of thia science, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,' a book that has done more f6r the alleviation of human ills and the reclamation of mankind than any book ever written except the Bible. She organised the church which now spreads its branches over the whole known world with members numbering hundreds of thousands who. like her and her immediate followers, have been healed, many-of -them of what are called Incurable diseases."

This transaction was intended as mortgage, . said Lind, and Smith later gave a conveyance of 7000 acres to the holding company for the ben efit of the creditors. Lind is un aware as to whether there is a rever sionary interest to Smith. These lands were unpatented, therefore not covered by the supreme court decision, and excluded from the amendment in the Chamberlain bill, which deals only with unsold land. Chalman Ferris characterized the whole matter as "a tempest, in a teapot." but expressed doubt of the wisdom of dealing with executory contracts in the pending bilL All ia One Bin, Bays Smyths.

IENERAL PLAN . OF CHAMBERLAIN J BILL TO BE USED Washington, March 20. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF . THE JOUR NAL.) With the hearings closed and the aotual framing of a bill under way, It la possible to outline the gen eral features of the plan the house committee on public land's will offer for settlement of the Oregon & Cali fornia land-grant problem. The bill introduced by Chairman Ferris in the house is to form- the framework of legislation. ' This bill Identical with 'one introduced by Senatbr .Chamberlain, except that it carries, ' in - addition, various amend ments proposed by Attorney-General Gregory...,: :. r Power to Bevest Title. In adopting this basts the commit tee determined the question aa to its power to : revest title in the United States to ths 2,300,000 acres of unsold lands in the grant, rejecting, the the ory, mat unless an agreement was reached with the - - Southern Pacific company., congress was ; restricted to the terms of the original granting acts in disposing. or the lands. , . The committee has also accepted the principle" ..that v heavily timered land a should not be opened to entry et iz.&o an acre, -tne . sum named in the granting acta The timber is to be sold., separately from, the land ; to the highest bidder, either in large or small tracts. ' , : ' Sale of Timber Xad. , - The biU Is expected to ; allow the secretary. of the interior, considerable latitude - as to the time of i offering timbeis land for sale, but under pro Visions " that i will , insure - its being placed on - ths market ' as soon as 'it can be sold for something like its fair market value.. Witnesses : have "esti mated 'the ralue-tef7 this timber from $30,000,009 to 10,000,008, but have CHRIST APPLIED STeed that much less -wni be realised If all 1s placed' on' the market at once. - After ' regaining- title, the blU will tieat .tbe lands In the nature of a trust to be held by the government, with a riewj to -aecurtnr Immediate . fettle tnent of land .claasea a agricultural, and the. disposition of timber for logging- operations.

This probably will be changed to 1.600.000 or 2,000,000 xeei, co auow l larger margin si value to. tbe settler to recompense him for reducing the land to cultivation. - The bill will allow the railroad $2.60 aa acre for all the unsold land, 1 setting off against hia the amount of unpaid taxes and sumi received by the. railroad.' in excess of $2.60 an acre for lands heretofore sold for higher prices, in violation of terms of the grant, the railroad in turn to be allowed . any 'credits due on claims. sues, aa depredations on the land and taxes above $2.60 an acre. Debits and credits thus claimed are to be settled by a uit for an accounting In the courts. The railroad company's offer to compromise and Quitclaim to the gov ernment - on payment of $10,000,000. the government to settle unpaid taxes and repeal the law requiring the rail road to transport government troops and supplies free of charge, has not been seriously considered. L The bill will provide for advancing money to pay taxes on the land for the last three years, which the rail road has declined to pay. thus extri cating, the Oregon land-grant counties from serious difficulties. right oa Torty-Zorty Clause. An Important feature to be set tled is the proportion of funds de rived from the sale of timber to be I paid, over to Oregon for schools and I roads.

Secretary Lane has recommended that these pro portions be cut to 20 per cent eah for the state and the counties. The Oregon delegation is preparing to fight for the -forty-forty" clause. The committee will not vote to put any of the lands into forest reserves. with the possible exception of 200,000 acres within the boundaries of exist ing reserves. Doubt exists as to the right to do this, offlflclals of the de partment of justice having suggested that the right to have ths land set uea or- go into productive use may oe neia oy the courts to oe one or tne values granted to the railroad. Bights of Actual Settlers. Actual settlers on the lands are to be confirmed in their titles but the sealers Tmu.tVv. bn on the 3' remains unsettled. Settlers on land classed as agricultural will be allowed ISO acres, while those on heavily tim bered .land probably will be allowed 40 acres, with preference right to pur chase up to 180 acres on paying mar ket value 'for the timber. . Sixteen thousand applicants to pur chase, who- tried to buy from the rail road in the past, will receive no con sideration. These applicants are scat tered all over the United States and Canada, and were solicited by "lo cators." of whom 8. A. D. Puter, once prominent In Oregon land fraud cases, is most prominent. . Whether the lands shall be classi fied by agents of the government, as recommended by Secretary, Lane and Secretary Houston, is a point unde termined.. ' Senator Chamberlain and the Oregon , delegation oppose this plan and propose to classify the lands by the bill Itself, avoiding the delay and expense incident to such work. Portland, Corvallls and other cities are asking protection against pollu tion of their water supplies, which would be threatened try opening to settlement lands comprised within wa tersheds from which thess cities de rive their municipal supply. This will be provided by placing such lands temporarily in forest reserves, or by giving cities a preference right to pur chase by paying $2.60 an acre. Tims for Bemsral of Timber. The Chamberlain bill provides no time limit In -which timber must be removed from the land by purchasers. It is contended that to require Umber to be cut within IS years, as proposed by Secretary Lane, would embarrass timber operators, and that no one will be hurt . if tbey choose to hold It longer, since the Umber will be subject to taxation as soon as sold, and purchasers will remove It aa soon as the market permits profitable oper ation. The Chamberlain bill proposes three classifications: Agricultural, timber and mineral. Secretaries Lane and Houston wish to add a fourth class to cover power sites., which . are said to be many and valuable. It Is prob able that the committee will allow some withdrawals forJ power develop ment, to be opened for development under general law. About 18,000 acres covered by exec utory contracts, where the rail rod sold In violation 'of terms -.of the grant, but purchasers have not com pleted payment, probably will be drop ped from the bill and dealt with in a separate measure' on the ground that It Is, unwise, to confirm these titles In -a bill disposing of ths unsold lands. . - WESTERNERS PLAN TO FORM SOCIETY OF THE WEST IN WASHINGTON Washington, March 31.

It is troubled with the Indigestion of "in visible government.' according to the complaint of some of its members, who were caught by the "harmony drag net thrown out at the time of the club's formation. They say it Is a "one man club" and they are trying to have the leaders of the organisation tell them whether the constitution and the executive committee are to guide the actions of the club, or whether "The Tall Tower" is to pe the donunat ins Influence. The next meeting of the executive committee promises .most lurid lan guage and a loud, demand for ex planations. The trouble datea back to the' recent visit of Dr. Nicholas Mur ray Butler and the rally at which he was the speaker of the evening. The story Is something like this: Wandering Koosers Invited Xa. When the Oregon Republican club was in process of formation an in vita tlon was sent out broadcast to all the wandering boys and those who had strayed after false gods, meaning tbe progressives, beseeching them to r.eturn to the fold. They came back, George Arthur Brown and all, busted up the Old Guard'a slate and all was as comfy as a cold kitten and a hot brick. Then Dr. Butler came to town, gome of the warm blooded and ardent mem bers of the onganization concluded that the "meeting should be turned over warm' to Dr. Butler, and suggested to John McCourt, president of the club, that George Arthur Brown be permit ted to preside at the rally, make a short but fervent opening and intro ductory address, stir. the audience up to a high enthusiasm, and then let Dr. Butler turn his 42 centimeters of eloquence and logic loose upon the fortifications of the enemy. Mr. McCourt demurred to this pro gram. He Was willing to let Mr. Brown warm 'em up, but he wanted to keep his presidential digits firmly clasped about the handle of the gavel.
