N, Cllllott and J. C. Needhum, and on tlm 17th of November presented In the housu by Mr, (Illicit, and on tho 8th or De cember in the senate by Senator Per kins. In tho house the bill has been referred to the public lands commit tee, and iu the senate haH not yet come, up for consideration. While not anticipating opposition to tlio measure, the league Is endeav oring to arouse a national Interest In tuo matter. Letters were written to some prominent person In each stato requesting that he accept the position of chairman of a state council, the object of which should be to Iniluenco representatives and senators In tho passage of the bill that requested the JAPS MAY GO HOME. If War Between Russia and Japan Comes Many Japanese Will Hurry te Join the Army. In time of war every Japanese subject is liable to service In the army, and no matter whore they are dispersed over the earth, the call of their country does not' fnll upon deaf cars. If tlm prospects of war become threatening, and Japan feels sure of having to fight tho Iliisslnns, several of the Japanese residents of this city will go home to enter tho army serv ice. Every Japanese enters the army at the age of 20 and serves for three years, when ho is retired and over after belongs to the reserve military force, subject to a call at nny time the safety of his country Is threaten ed. .Many of the youth escape this service by emigrating before reach ing tho age of 20, but a large major ity of those In this country have serv ed their time, nnd are properly a part of the reserve army of the em pire. A talk with the local leaders of the Japanese colony In this city reveals the fact that they aro very patriotic and would go home on an instant's notice if the country demanded it, but aro reticent about discussing a fight with Russia. During tho recent brush with Chi na, many of the Japanese residents of Oregon went homo to fight, and two now in this city, made the trip, only to return to America a year later, disgusted with not having had a chance to annihilate the Chinese. The residents in tho rendloton Japanese quarter expect n call any day for a return home, as the Jap anese papers are tilled with war talk, and the little "brown" boys are ready to buy a ticket RIGHT OF WAY SECURE. Columbia Southern Extension Run Through Rich ' Farming Will DIs. trict. President E. E. Lytle of tho Colum bia Southern this morning denied that the road had any trouble In se curing us right or way. says the Ore gon Dally Journal. Wo havo our right of way platted for the entire 100 miles or tho oxten sion to Bend," said he. "ir you no tice that map on the wall there, you will seo that the secretary or the In terior approved the entire right or way last July, and that no changes will bo made from what has been offi cially acted upon may be positively asserted. Of course, wo may in some cases change tho right or way for a few hundred feet, but tho no ns a wnolc haB been mapped out. we have no surveyors In the field look' ing over several routes. We know- whore we will go." "Land grabbers may rob legitimate settlers or a chance nt farm lands along the company's right of way, but tms cannot be Helped. "They aro not injuring us. as wo have our right of way and we will nanny make any fight under such circumstances." From reports at the unices of the company, it is certain that tho conn, try south of Shaniko, along tho Col. umbla Southern extension, will bo very materially Increased in value. Government land down there 1b gen erally taken up, where It Is at all ac cessible, and before a foot of track has been laid vast tracts of fine farm Ing territory will Jump from nothing to 125 an ncre. Tho forerunners of the boom aro in Iho country, nnd va rious speculations aro being exploit ed, most of which havo to do with farm land schemes, but tho townslte agent Is not absent.
