Ruet set up through his

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.”

It is probable the indict-j
