At GUST THE SOLDIER'S WISH. i -------- These lines were written April 27, 1847, by H. LeRoy Groat, a brother of Rev. E. G. O. Groat, o f this city. The author was about lti years o f age at the time. The poem has a special signifi- canee at this time. Before the battle of Buena Vista a soldier made this re- quest to his comrades: “ I f 1 die, bury ure iu a retired spot by myself, for 1 scorn to be laid iu a Mexican grave.” UHt. honest men and women lire to be bilked out of their savings in a new way. It has been decided to throw the “ ngru-ul tural” portions of the Oregon A Call fornia grant open to settlement, and supposedly reputable newspapers are beating the big drum and shouting of homes on this land for homeless faiui lies. Witness this from the 1'ortlnnd Journal: “ Within the next five years fields and meadows will begin to yield their harvests, where up to now the wilder ness has brooded in solitude over a po teutial empire of productive industry. Homes will spring up and the sounds of civilization will drive still farther west ward the silence and the loneliness of the forest. Men and women who are willing to pit their brawn, their industry and their patience against the resistance of the virgin land will begin their march of conquest. The school house and the church, the village and the town, will rise to meet the call of a coming people and a better day. ” It is hard to understand how a news paper of such undoubted excellence as tin- Journal can lend itself to misrepre sentation like this. How can it baldly assert that new homes will spring up 011 this land where now deserted homes stand as mute ev ¡donee that a living can not be made on it f I f the writer who penned this gush is merely ignorant, he ought to visit some o f the O & O. “ agri cultural ” land ¡11 l.ane county and see some of the houses that have been built on it and then abandoned. The simple and unadorned fart is that the really valuable agricultural land in the Oregon \ California grant was sold o f f long ago. The railroad did not want to retain anything but the timber. The so-called agricultural land that still remains is either worthless in character or is so completely isolated that making a living on it would be ini possible. The grant lands are valuable principally for their timber, and land with .'100,000 feet of timber to the forty cannot be taken up.
