DALLAS TO BE GATEWAY IS , PROMISE. (Continued from Page One.) timber is to be tapped by a railroad for the purpose of bringing the logs down to be manufactured Into lum ber in a mill supposedly to be erect ed on the site of the old one. Titles Doubtful. The suit in question is one that attracted . a great deal of attention here at the time it was filed, but for a number of months has been practi cally lost sight of. It involves legal action on the part of the Government to reoover from the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad company lands in various parts of this state, which the company obtained through orig inal land grants, and which, it is claimed as a basis for suit, the com pany has forfeited by reason of fail ure to comply with the requirements laid down by the grant. Since that time the title of purchasers of the timber lands included in the grant has been doubtful and unmarketable, so that they cannot either be sold or used as security for the borrowing of money. Forty innocent purchasers are con cerned In the outcome of the suit, It is stated, all of whom have 1000 acres of the land or more, the numbeF of defendants being, reduced in that manner in order to take the matter through the courts as speedily as possible. Standing Unaffected. "This resolution and the bill refer red to," said a visiting timber man, in no wise affects the standing of the Government suit against the rail road company, and Is subject to the approval of the Department of Jus tice. As a matter of fact, with the private ownership Interests elimina ted, there Is less public sentiment In favor of the railroad company, and It will probably help the Govern ment side of the case. Undoubtedly if the Government would win its suit against the innocent purchasers involved in the suit, it would effect the title to thousands of others who had bought from the railroad only from 200 to 1000 acres." Inasmuch as in the words of the resolution, the lumbering industry is one of the most Important of the state, and because the purchasers of the railroad lands who bought them in good faith are embarassed in the conduct of their business, the Commercial club -will use its influ ence to bring about the relief sought. STOCK SALES FAVORED FOR CEMENT PLAJiT (Continued from Page One.) that the owners of these lands, who were Innocent purchasers, were ffrpatlv Embarassed by the litigation and could reoetve no returns on their invpatment. although they were re- nnirori to nav taxes on same. The resolution was directed to Oregon's delegation in congress and urges tne naasaee of Senate bill No. 44oZ wnicn if passed, will permit the land own ers to pay $2.50 per acre, the govern ment price for their holdings. In the event that pending suits are decided In favor of the government, the own ers would then have already paid the price demanded while, should tne railroad romnanv win. the title of the same would remain vested in the purchasers. A resolution was adopted asking the Southern Pacific to cut their run ning time between Dallas and Port land to three hours. A committee consisting of w. u. cohn w v. Fuller and U. S. Loughary was appointed to solicit support for the club from Dusines. men of the city wno are noi now members. Th Huh went on record as en dorsing the coming concert by the Dallas "band, February 28. various, other matters were brougnt and discussed at length but no r action was taken on any of tne sud-jects.

"It not only serves as a sign, and a source of lllumlna- tion of the entire front of my store at night, but it Is a clear and readable sign by day.
