Vancouver, "Weahv March: -tl, The

was the cause of considerable discus

was present, and participated, in the
discussion.
Mrs. Gibber, wife of Captain Glbner,

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

decreased during the last year. Mrs.
Glbner also stated that the medical
officers in the garrison will gladly co

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."

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

can be sold for something like its fair

- After ' regaining- title, the blU will

tnent of land .claasea a agricultural,
and the. disposition of timber for logging-

Umber will be subjected tb taxation
until removed. ' When -. the timber Is
off, the land ia to be offered for entry,
all lands to be sold at 80 pel' acre.
- Uberal farms to Settlers.
'.Because a ut , theL cost sf brtfirrag

to settlers are likely to be' made much
more liberal than in case of lands
classed as acricultural at the be fin
ning. . - v. , ... ... .
- In- the ; Chamberlain bill, land la

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

taxes above $2.60 an acre. Debits and
credits thus claimed are to be settled

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.

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. The Chamberlain bill pro-1 Otis Boylan of Alaska, and uue tfoy

schools, 40 per cent to the counties I in Portland two weeks ago. His two
lor roads, and 20 ' per cent to the I
federal treasury to cover cost of ad
ministration and profit. 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

When Sxeontlve Committee Meets;
and Committee Snows Xt
The Oregon Republican club Is
troubled with domestic strife. 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
