ASSESSING
OF 0. & C.
LANDS WOULD
APPEAR
TO DENY TITLE OF U. S.
Contention of Eugene Com
mercial Club, if Correct,
Would Uphold Railroad,
LAND TO BE OPENED SOON
State Expected to Receive $34,000,000
to Be Divided Evenly Between
Schools and Grant County Rotdi.
When Oregon receives i;s full share,
as expected, from the O. & C land
rran t fund, It will have approximately
$12,000,000 to add to Its Irreducible
common school fund and an equal
amount for use by the land grant
counties for road purposes.
But If the movement launched by
the Eugene Commercial club should
prevail to have the grant lands kept
on the tax rolls this year bv being
C. railroad company. It will appe.ir
that the Kovernment hus no title In
the lands and cannot dispose of them
for the benefit of the public, and Ore
gon's schools and roads in particular.
Under the provisions of the act re
cently passed by congress, the railroad
company is to be paid $L'.5U an aire
for the 2,30u,000 acres remaining in
he grant, the title to the land reverts
to the government, the lands are be
ing claHsifled and will be opened to
settlement and development as soon
as possible. It is expected that a
part of the agricultural lands will be
opened to entry the coining fall and
all of them will be opened to settle
ment before the close of next year.
Stat Share About $34,000,000.
Fifty per cent of the proceeds from
the timber and the lands, estirimtea
to be approximately JlM.uOO.Ooo. wMl
be divided between the Oregon school
fund a..d the land grant counties for
road purposes.
There is now somewhat more than
16,000,000 In the common school fund.
This Is loaned to Oregon farmers at
per cent Interest. If the expecta
tions from the grant lands are realized
about $12,000,000 will be added to
that, making a total of more than $18 -000,000
to be kept in an irreducible
fund for the benefit of the public
chiols of the state. It will also, m
pracMcal operation, make a great rur.il
credits fund.
The Income from the $12,000,000 to
be added to the school fund will ap
proximate $720,000 a year, to be- dis
tributed to the public schools in the
various counties. That surii will mean
a great deal to the schools in many a
district, where taxation Is hurdensoinc
And another $12,000,000 will le a bi-j
lift In highway improvement in the
land grant counties.
Contention Oppose Benefits.
But neither of these sums can be
realised If the contention of the Ku
gene Commercial club is correct, that
the lands can be kept on the assess
ment rolls in the name of the O. & C.
railroad company and taxes thereon
be collected from the company. If the
lands are to' be opened for settlement
and disposod of as public lands the
title is vested in the government and
the lands cannot be assessed again.st
the railroad company. If they can be
assessed against the railroad company
the government does not own them and
cannot dispose of them.
If the lands arc disposed of and
the common school fund is augmented
$12,000,000. the additional apportion
ment from the Income from this sum
over and above the present apportion
ment, which will go to the schools In
the various counties each year would
be as follows:
Many Counties to Benefit.

suffered the loss of practically all their
belongings.
The fire started behind a stove In
the grocery store, and spread rapidly
to some cans of kerosene on a nearby

the building, $300 on the fixtures. $700
on the sto k and $400 on the furniture

OUISVILLE
WANTED
L
FUNDS FOR FACTORIES
AND UNCOVERED THEM
Kentucky Metropolis, Smaller
Than Portia
Also Acted,
See what Louisville has done
The Kentucky metropolis, which is
not so large as Portland, wanted a
million dollar factory fund, just as
Portland does.
Did they talk about It? They did.
Louisville's business men admitted
frankly that without factories the city
would retrograde.
But they also acted.
A big campaign committee was ap
pointed. Each committeeman pledged
a certain definite amount of time and
effort.
At the appointed time they can
vassed the town. They went over It
with a fine toothed comb, o to speak.
They discovered money and civic
pride in quarters where It had not
been suspected. They found, alack,
the lack of It where the talk about
what others should do had been loudest.
Than rOrtland, lalked Dllll11 ral8ed the million dollar factory
iuna. ine suDscriptions, in ract, went
beyond the million dollar mark. When
the general committee and 15 special
committees totaled up their pledges
they found that they had $1,020,000.
The money is to be used in finan
cing Industries. The subscribers to
the fund become stockholders of a
corporation regularly organized and
conducted, which will Investigate the
merits of industries needing finance
and provide loans to these industries
when merit is proven. Desirable In
dustries will be attracted. The mil
lion dollars will be handled by "able
men with clean hands for the good
of the city."
For -"Portland a similar campaign
and corporation have been talked of,
but only talked of to date.
