Fort Garland, Colo., Aug 9. An esta'e nearly a large as the state of Rhode Inland is to he added to the inhabited portion of Oregon by the opening and colonization of the hls trlc Oregon military road land grant, corr prising 500,000 acres In a strip 12 rr.il-" wide and extending through southern Oregon. The company controlling the grant, has adopted the auction allotment; plan, this week successfully tried out In the allotment of 63.000 acres here, in the San Luis valley of Colorado. I carr.e hee to see how the new plan In going to work In Oregon. It was amazir.g to see the facility a : ; '! harmony with which 6752 farms and the same number of town lots were distributed among 6752 men, entiie strangers to each other, who hailed from 21 states and were rep resentative of the best class of mld d west farmers and land seekers. The lands are irrigable. The com pany has on deposit $250,000 for a reservoir and canals, and now has the plant about two-thirds completed. Th homeseekers pitched a tent city amor.tr the cottonwoods along Ute cieek, and put up a large tent In which the business of the land open ing was to be transacted. They elect ed three trusteeS, Kobert N. Rankin of Aurora, Neb.; George McNalr of San Angelo, Texas, and F. A. Hlberg er, Wichita, Kansas, to conduct the allotment. COFFEE .Insist on the roaster's name; never mind the country it grew or is said to have grown in. Your porm returni rout montr If lea ImI )Uj Stkilliiii't Ilcl. w. par turn The farms and lots had been sold by the San Luis Valley Land company and each man held a clearance re ceipt, nominally a contract for a deed to a farm and town lot. These con tracts provided for a distribution by the auction plan, but the holders had become uneasy, because the lunds looked good and there was a possi bility of lively bidding In excess of $150, the amount each had paid for his farm contract. After conferences with the postal authorities and R J. Martin, presi dent of the San Luis Valley Lund company, the plan of the company became more fully understood by the trustees, who then endorsed and pre sented It to the general meeting, where It was unanimously accepted. Thereafter not a moment's hitch oc curred. The partitioning went through with remarkable rapidity, and in six days the 6752 farms and 6752 lots were distributed. Briefly the plan Is as follows: An auctioneer who understands the nroeeedlng comes upon the scene with two boxes, a correct list of all contract holders, and lists of the farms and lots. He writes the names of the contract holders on a slip of paper and puts them In one box Similar slips, each containing num ber and acreage of a farm, number and block of a lot, are placed In the other box. After being well shaken the names are then drawn out and written on "club sheets," each containing spaces for 10 names. Each club elects a cap tain, or has one appointed. The auc tloneer now draws from the other box slips containing the farm and lot numbers and as thpy come out they aro written In the space opposite the name of the club members. The par tltlonlng Is then conducted from the club sheets. Plats of the farms und lots having been distributed to each contract holder, he Is enabled to know what he Is getting. As each number Is called out by the auctioneer the club captain having that number on his list responds with a bid of $150 for the person whose name is opposite. If the person desires a farm other than the one drawn for him he can get It by bidding a premium above the $150. The plan thus gives him power to make his own selection of a farm and lot. The auction feature is the thread from which hangs the whole proceeding, and the bidding Is the test by which It Is made valid under the postal laws, although sen timent against bidding premiums was so strong that the bidding was kept down to n low minimum, only a few premiums were bid, and the highest was $250. The plan has been hailed with Joy by land men the country over. It offers a solution of the problem of carrying on large operations in sell ing and colonizing remote western lands under the double handicap of Interstate commerce commission pas senger restrictions and the govern ment's prohibition of land allotments by lottery. There will be some minor changes made for the Oregon opening plan. UIILTI CLFRK SETS M CI V. It. VAX WERT IX A RO MANTIC COURTSHIP. Cainptx-H-Qiilnn Wot Wing. Miss Maud M. Campbell of Weston, and J.

The arrests were made on susplc In, but a "sweating" given the men by Chief Davis yesterday afternoon brought forth the fact that they knew something of the disappearance of wheat In Umatilla county, and when Chief Davis told Steel that his "pal" had confessed, he likewise gave the officers some Information. The sarnn ruse was worked on Stantorf and he "coughed up." The men were seen to drive out of Milton Wednesday evening and yes terday morning they came to this city and offered seven sacks of wheat for sale nt the City mills.
