General W. H. Odell, as attorney for
the State of Oregon, has appealed tc
the Secretary of the Interior from the
decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office in the matter of
lieu land selections upon mineral bass
in Southeastern Oregon. The Com
missioner had rejected the selections
of lieu land made by Mr. Odell for the
state, assigning as a reason therefor
that the state bad already sold the
lands which It seeks to use as base.
Another reason assigned for the re
jection was that the mineral character
of the land had not been proven.
The Commissioner also held that
the proceedings for the adjudication
of the mineral character of the land
were Irregular for the reason that they
were commenced before application

Indemnity lands.

that the Keating postmaster had re

Washington. June 9 — Up to the preB
>nt time the Newport News Shlphuild
Ing Company has showu itself more
than able to cope with the Govern
ment in the construction of warships,
and if the showing continues to the
end. Congress will be forced to* con
clude that, so far as time is concerned,
at least, the Government can best have
its Navy built by private shipyards
rather than at Government Navy-
yards.
fjnder the terms of the naval appro
priation bill of a year ago, the Govern
ment navy-yard at New York was au
thorized to construct the battleship
Connecticut, and a contract was award
ed to the Newport News Company to
build a sister ship, the Louisiana. The
navy-yard and shipbuilding firm com
menced operations at the same time,
the purpose being to determine wheth
er the Government can get better re
sults by building its own ships or by
having them built under contract. The
New York navy-yard has been handi
capped. it is true, by labor troubles,
but aside from this the Newport News
Company has taken and maintained
the lead to such an extent as to call
forth general comment. It is true this
company is undoubtedly making unus
ual progress on tbe Connecticut, know
ing it is in competition with the Gov
ernment, but the experiment has also
demonstrated that Government navy-
yards are as likely to suffer from
strikes and labor agitations as are the
shipyards of private corporations.
One of the great complaints made
against some of the shipyards that
have had Government contracts has
been that they were hampered by
labor troubles, whereas, the Govern
ment was not so affected. The experi
ment at New York proves the fallacy
of that assupmptlon.
