That the Oregon A California land grant. If recovered by the United States gov ernment. should be donated to the State of Oregon as an addition to the irreducible school fund, is the opin ion of Superintendent of Public In struction J. H. Ackerman, who will head a movement to have the Oregon delegation in congress take steps to have such a grant made as soon as the land has returned to the owner ship of the United States. No better ditpoaltion of the land could be made,” said Superintendent Ackerman today in discussing his Idea. "The land was granted by the government to aid in the develop ment of the state of Oregon, through the building of a railroad. The gov ernment fixed a maximum price and established other real r let ion as to the sale of the land.” We do business far CASH.

District Attorney Manning yester day announced that he would indict State Treasurer Steel for his connec tion with the indicted officers of the Title Guarantee A Trust Company in their conversion of state fund«. Mr. Manning said he would not decide on what charge Mr. Steel would be indicted until he had made an in vestigation as to the relations be tween the state treasurer and bank official» It is probable the indict-j ment will charge Steel with convert ing the educational fund of the state to his own use by turning it over to the Title bank as a check deposit it Is learned at the dlwtrict attor-j ney's office that Mr. Steel would have been indicted at the same time bills i were returned against J. Thoburn! Ross, John Altcjilson, T. T. Burkhart I and George H. Hill, but for the fact I that he was wanted as a witness for the prosecution and had he been jn- dlcted he would not have been avail able In that capacity. However. Steel was a disappointment, to the «fate in the Ro«« Ulal. falling to shed any llgh^ upon his deposit of state funds and how they were handled by the bank. The attitude of Mr. Steel at the time was such a« to convince Mr. Manning that the witness was with- holding much that would have been material to the state, and it was for that reason that the district attorney I began a further inquiry Into Steel's 1 transactions with the bank, and: which undoubtedly will result In the Indictment of that official.--Orego nian.
