(By Charles Hyskell.)
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.

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.

Meanwhile each was sending the
young woman In Omaha glowing let

with a terrible accident this week,
says the Pullman Tribune. He was
working about the separator of a
threshing outfit and reached through
a belt to replace a chain belt on a cog
when his arm was caught between
the rapidly revolving belt and the
wheel, terribly crushing and maim

threw him forward and his head
struck another wheel, fracturing his

of whom hall from L'mntllla county,
were arrested by the police yesterday
on advices from across the state lino.
Informing the police that the met.
were wanted for stealing grain from
the fields In that county, says the
Walla Walla Union. Steel wag ar
rested at 11:40 yesterday morning,
and a few minutes later his compan
ion, Stantorf, was lodged In the city
Jail.
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. Patrolman Mc
Cauley appeared on the scene, and no
tified the mill men to defer payment
until the Oregon officials could be
cemmunlcated with.
Constable Dikes of Milton Is expect
ed to arrive In the city today to re
turn the men there for hearing. Dykes
made a trip to this city last week In
search of the men, who, it Is claimed,
stole wheat from a field near Milton
and disposed of It here. In explain
ing the theft of the grain Stantorf said
he didn't steal It, but simply took It
and intended to pay the owner as soo
as he had returned with the money.

explosion, says the Waltslmrg Times.
As the story came to us Walter had
just charged the storage batteries of
Dr. H. A. Mount's machine and was
engaged In charging the batteries on
his own machine, when It Is presumed
he crossed the wires In some manner
causing a spark which ignited the
gasoline, causing a tremendous ex
plosion. Mr. Wood was blown out of the
auto hed, the automobile caught fire
i.nd before the flames could be ex
tlnguished the shed was In ashes. A
tank containing 160 gallons of gaso
line which was stored close to the
fhed failed to explode, which proba
bly saved the destruction of his fine
residence. The loss is estimated at
about $3000.
