EXTENT OF 300.000
PROMISES AS TO LAND
GRANT ARE DISCUSSED
BY JUDGE LITTLEF1ELD
Candidate Says That Legisla
tion Proposed to Givef ref
erence Not Possible.
QUESTION UP IN CONGRESS
Great Questions of Principle Are
Held to Be at Stake la the
Present Campaign,
Judge K. V. Llttlefield. candidate
for Republican nomination for con
gress from the Third district, dis
cussed the Oregon-California land
grant, its history and Its present
status at Gresham last night.
The largest and most enthusiastic
audience so far gathered during the
present campaign for any group of
candidates greeted the speakers when
the meeting was called to order by
George W. Stapleton, mayor of Greh
am. When Judge Littlefield was In
troduced he was most heartily re
ceived and his address was followed
with deep attention.
Judge Littlefield went into the
history of the Oregon-Calif orrTia land
grant and told how the vast tract of
land composing it was given to the
Oregon-California railroad by the gov
ernment years ago; how it was writ
ten into the errant that the land was
to be sold in tracts of not more than
160 acres to actual settlers and at a
price of not to exceed" $2. SO an ' acre.
Some Lands Withheld From Sale.
Some of the land had been sold un
der the terms of the. grant. Judge
Littlefield pointed out, but with the
passage of time and the consequent
increase in land and timber values
the railroad company had withdrawn
the lands from sale under the terms
of the grant and eold them, if at all,
at higher figures to large timber
holders.
Because of insistent complaint from
the state of Oregon, finally culminat
ing in a memorial from the legislature
addressed to congress, congress had
directed that suit be brought to for
feit the grant; and this suit hod re
sulted in the recent supreme court
decision, which had decreed that the
company had an equity of $2.50 per
acre In the lands remaining. This Mime
decision, the speaker explained, had
given congress six months from the
date of the decree to enact federal
legislation providing for the final dis
position and sale of the grant lands
to the public. This time limit. Judge
Littlefield explained, would expire dur
ing the middle of the coming month
of June.
Proposed Legislation Held Impossible.
"It is being said that legislation can
be secured which will result In the sale
of these grant lands to actual cottiers
at $2.50 per acre, and giving preference
rights to settlers who may have filed
A or settled on the land prior to tho pas
sage or these enactments.
"This is Impossible of performance.
These promises cannot be carried out."
Judge Littlefield said. "The supreme
court of the United States has already
settled the question. The whola Issue
will be definitely passed upon by con
gress long before the November elec
tion. "The land grant is not an issue in
this campaign.
"There are great questions of prin
ciple at stake in the present cam
paign." Judge Littlefield continued.
"Mr. McArtliur. one of my opponents.
Is in Washington, but there is a ques
tion of vital importance to the peo
ple of Oregon over which there is a
wide difference between us. There is
pending befor congress a measure
known cs the Sheppard - Hobson
amendment, providing for national
prohibition. Mr. McArthur takes the
position that because there was a ma
jority of 95 against prohibition in
Multnomah county, he will not vote to
allow the people of the United States
to pass upon the question of prohibi
tion. "Would Represent All the People.
"I hold that a congressman is rep
resentative of all the people of his
state. I hold that the people are to ha
trusted to speak for themselves. I say
that no man has a right to say that
tl e people of his state are not compe
tent to decide any question that af
fects their homes and their families."

tricts in the county will be In the
procession.
Mr. McCormlck is makine his cam.
palgn as th "country candidate for

LAW SCORES COUNTY CLERK
Coffey Accused of Being Receiver
for a Telephone Company.
'At a meeting of the Young Men's
Republican club held in the Librarv
hall last night. J. E. Law alleged that
John B. Coffey, county clerk, was in
the employ of the Northwestern Lonx
Distance Telephone company.as receiv
er during the same time that he was
county clerk of Multnomah county.
"Mr. Coffey premised in hi plat
forms of 1912 and 1914 that he would
oonduct the office upon a straight sal
ary as provided by law and would give
personal attention to the duties of tire
office," said Mr. Law.
"Mr. Coffey took office as county
clerk at a salary of 1250 per month,
had a salary fixed t 1400 per month
as receiver of the Northwestern Long
Distance Telephone company, and In
troduced at the legislature a bill which
bs lobbied for and which became a law
raising hi salary to' 1375 per month.
He also introduced and lobbied for an
other bill which passed, creating a new
clerkship In his office at a salary of
$200 per month. These two bills added
an expense to the tax payers of a sum
greater than the amount of money
which Mr. Coffey takes credit for bar
ing turned in to the county from fees,
naturalization and declaration moneys.
"In May, June and July, 1913, Mr.
Coffey made trips from Portland to
Seattle and California, on the time of
the taxpayers and drew from them full
salary for same."

Include No. 54 and 53, Operating
Between San Francisco and TtJftlaad.
San Francisco, May 13. (P. N. S.)
Eleven trains are to be pulled off by
the Southern Pacific company begin
ning May 21. E. E. Wade, assistant
general passenger agent of the com
pany, denies emphatically that this

petition. "We are trying to get back to some
thing like the schedule we had oefore
the exposition travel set in," said Mr.
Wade today. "As every one knows,
travel this year is not as heavy as It
was in 1915, and some of the trains
then needed are unnecessary today."
Two of these trains are on the San
Francisco-Portland run.
After May 21 there will be but three
daily trains to Portland, instead of
four. Train 54, leaving San Francisco
at 11:40 p. m. and arriving at Portland

ing at San Francisco at 5:30 p. m. th
second day.
Portland Southern Pacific officials
this morning received advices from San
Francisco to the errect that the pro
posed withdrawal of trains Nos. 63 and
54 from the Portland-San Francisco
run had been indefinitarly postponed.
The subject had been under considera
tion, however, at several conferences of
officials.
