BUREAU Or TrfB JOURNAL.)
Chairman Ferris of the public lands
committee, of tha house la unshaken
y all the telegrams' and letters that
v poured In upon him from Oregon,
urging that 40 per cent of tha proceeds
from timber sales of the Oregon & Cali
fornia land grant be turned over to the
state of Oregon for schools, and 40 Per
ent be returned to the land-grant
counties for road a
This Is shown by the report of the
"committee on the bill, which Mr. Fer
ris drafted, which has the tone of apol
ogy for allowing as much as TQ per
cent of the proceeds to. go to "the state
and counties. After setting forth the
provisions of the bill providing for di
vision Of the funds, the report says:
' ? 'f Zclaloa Bessie Best.
"Naturally, this was a question that
brought about much discussion in the
bearings and before your committee.
Th result above indicated was the best
solution Cf the matter your committee
could make, and while this may seem
extremely liberal to the state of Ore
gon, It must be remembered that the
lands in question are now and have
been subject to state taxation, but with
tha passage of this bill will be exempt
from uch taxation until disposed of
by this government."
- Before this report wan made to the
house. Mr Kerrls submitted the draft
to, several members of the commutes
who had been active In framing the
measure, among them Representative
olnitott of Oregon. Mr. Blnnott asked
, that a few words be added, setting
forth the fact that the development of
tha state of Oregon has been retarded
'by the long delay In settlement of
these lands. He was overruled and the
language - set forth above was ap
proved. SV - . Uttls Comment Made.
While the report contains 39 pages
of fine type, it includes little comment.
It gives In full the granting acts, the
supreme court decision, the innocent
purehaser act of 112. and the final de
partment reports. Except as referred
to In roese documents, there is no ref-
' ireace to the claimants under appli
cations to purchase, and no discussion
Of the details of the proposed legisla
tion. Practically the only comment vun
' leered by the committee, aside from that
above gven in reference to the division
of proceeds from timber sales' is a
paragraph calling attention to the six
months period allowed by the supreme

Despondent Young Man Who
Is Orphan Relates Tale of
Hard Luck. '
Despondent and fearing that he was
going to be sent to the state peniten
tiary, Chester Kelson. l years old and
an orphan, who has been kicked about
most of his life, attempted suicide in
the, county Jail last night by gouging
his' wrist with a tin star taken from
tobacco.
Instead of fending him to tote peni
tentiary, Deputy Sheriff Bob Phillips,
whourested him yesterday afternoon
for burglarizing, a house at Loma
Acres, on the Mount Hood line, became
interested in him, and waa instrumen
tal in getting him off with a suspended
sentence, and this afternoon paid his
railroad fare to Troutdale, where he
ha a job- with the Warren Construc
tion company.
For seven years Nelson was in an
orphans' home. When he left to work
for himself he waa followed by a
streak of hard luck, according to bis
story. At 17 he was sent to the state
reform school.
But now he has a job with a con
struction company, and he was walk
ing from Portland to Troutdale when
rhe broke into a house owned bv
Charles E. -Hall and took a roll of
blankets and other camp necessities.
When arrested he told Deputy Snerlff
Phillips he had taken the things for
nis camp at Troutdale.
When Phillips returned to the Jail
last night to have a talk with Nelson,
the jailor found the prisoner iu hla
cell with his wrist cut. His only state
ment was that he would rather die
than go to th penitentiary. Today
Phillips called in Mr. Hall, who was
willing that a charge of simple larceny
should be preferred against Nelson.
District Judge Bell sentenced him to
pay a fine of IdO and suspended the
sentence.

GERMANS ATTAIN TOP
OF HILL 304, TAKING
ENTIRE NORTH SLOPE
(Continued Prom Pif One)
sl Hons, the Teutons hacked persist
ently at positions in the ravines west
oi Pepper Heights hoping to drive
through to the Meuse and force
retirement rrom strong works.
ATTACK ON HILL 304
IS MOST VICLENT OF
THE WAR, SAY FRENCH
Par!e. May 8. (I. N. S.) The omis
sion from the German communique of
all mention of their attack on Hill No.
804 is significant Presumably, the
German staff is not sure that their
attack will succeed, and probably wish
to avoid the Unfortunate mistakes
made about Deadman's hill," which was
prematurely announced as .captured
long ago, and which is still occupied
Dy tne j?r,encn.
The attack on Hill No. 304 is be.
lleved to have been the most violent
yet known in the war. The Germans
had brought aa many heavy guns as
possible and had accumulated asphyxi
ating Domos. xne attack began at
night, and by the early hours Of the
morning the slopes northwest of Hill
No. 304 had been completely churned
up. The sice was unrecognizable.
The French had moved out of their
positions at the foot of the hill, with
drawing to those higher up.
After their furious bombardment the
Germans sent a division to attack thn
hill, but failed. The French had pre
pared'a successful enfilading and cur
tain artillery fire, and the German in
fantry never- got beyond the loot of
the hill.
If Hill No. 304 could be caponed or
turned, Deadman's hill, for which the
Germans have been striving for weeks,
would be affected; but the main point
is that the latest German assault, in
stead of being made nearer Verdun, is
being delivered farther off. I Having
Jailed In their blows west of the Meuse,
the Germans are spending themselves
in frantic efforts farther away from
their objective.
