Skinner Makes Statement.
Discussing-the history of the fight
to secure physical connection at tna
points named. Mr. Skinner said:
.'.'."Years ago the question of physical
Interchange between the Oregon Klec

sented to the Oregon Hallroad com
- mission on complaint of South Port
land firms who desired a connection at
Jefferson street.
'"The connection was ordered by the

Jng In over a score of high
powered automobiles of late
Ht models, approximately 250 gyp-
4t sles passed through Ashland

city over Monday. They said
Ik they were headed toward some

refused to name, where a re- -
union of the gypsies in the

commission, but the commission was
restrained from enforcing the order
by the courts. A similar question waa
again before the Oregon commission
on complaint of certain shippers at
Albany, In which track connection be
tween the two companies at that point
was requested. The Railroad commis
sion under date of May 26, 1914, de
cided that from the evidence there was
not sufficient intrastate traffic in
volved to Justify the Installation of
the track connection and the commis
sion ordered the complaint dismissed.
Appealed to Federal Court.
"Further complaint, however, was
made In June. 1916, by a number'of the
principal shippers at Albany, and the
case was heard by the Oregon commis
sion August 6, 1915. On the evidence
the commission in its order of De
cember 27. 1915, found that the con
nection should be made and ordered
that It ahould be done within SO days.
"The Southern Pacific, however,
through the federal court, secured a
temporary injunction restraining the
commission from enforcement of its
order, and the Question comes up for
final determination before the federal
district court on May 18.
"The Southern Pacific people have
Indicated their intention to appeal the
order to the court of last resort, and
regardless of the decision of the dis
trict court it is probable that the legal
question, as to the findings of the pub
lic service commission will not be
worked out for many months to come.

Some stories will bear repeating.
Now, there's the story of the Million
Dollar OWL.
Behind the OWL cigar stands a
million dollars' worth of slowly-curing
leaf. This supply, selected when
market conditions are favorable,
makes sure that the cigar-maker gets
the same grade of tobacco for every
OWL.
You know that "green" leaf has little
or no flavor. To make the leaf mellow, it
must be thoroughly cured.
Curing requires an average of 18 months.
During this 18 months, this non-productive
supply of tobacco, always a million dollars
in value and frequently more, lies idle in
the OWL factories so that you can be sure
of getting the same mild smoke in every
OWL you buy.
A million dollars of good smoke in
surance ! Did any other cigar manufac
turer ever take so much trouble and so
much expense in guaranteeing satisfaction
to his customers ?
That is why the OWL, never disappoints
the men who smoke it

Hood River. Or., May 9. Six com
mercial and industrial units of Hood
River county now have In course of
preparation a set of resolutions that
will be forwarded to Congressmen
SInnott, McArthur and Hawley of
Oregon commending the provisions of
Senator Chamberlain's Oregon-California
land grant bill, providing for a
division of 40 per cent for the school
fund of the state; 40 per cent for the
road fund of the counties in which the
land Is located, and 20 per cent for
the general reclamation fund, and
urging these representatives in con
gress to hold the Chamberlain senate
bill intact when It reaches the house.
A separate set of resolutions will be
drawn and forwarded by the board of
directors of the Hood River public
schools. the city council. united
granges of the valley, Commercial
club, bankers, and the Hood River
County Bar association.
County Hay Act.
It is expected that as soon as
County Judge E. K. Stanton returns to
the city, the county court will take
similar action.
The concerted movement on the part
of the Hood River county organization
is due to the effort of Judge A. J.
Derby, county attorney for Hood
River county. In discussing the mat
ter, Judge Derby said. "It is evident
from the prompt responses received
from the citizens and organizations of
Hood River to forward to Oregon's
representatives in congress resolu
tions urging them to stand by and
fight for the Chamberlain bill, that
the effort and work of Senator Cham
berlain is appreciated in the fullest
measure, and that the citizens of
Hood River county are anxious to
contribute their influence to the final
passage of this bill.
Hood Soesnt Snare.
It Is true that Hood River county
will not share in the 40 per cent
county road fund if this bill passes
with tnis percentage Intact, as there
Is none xt the land" grant in this
county.
"However, every citizen and county
In the Btate should be unselfish in the
matter for the general benefit of the
state at large, and it behooves every
citizen and organization in the state
at this critical time to go on record
in favor of this division, and to en
courage our congressmen to fight for
it, and to Impress both senate and
house of representatives with the
justness of this cause, and that Ore
gon' citizenship la vitally Interested
in the ultimate issues of this meausre
now pending in congress, and that
means so much for the public school
interest of the state."
