It is now believed that the agri cultural lands within the forfeited O. A C railroad grant will be opened to settlement within the next tew weeks, especially that part of the lands in Southern Oregon where the work of classification will be first ac complished. The following from the . Oregon Journal has the stamp of u- thority from the federal official who -will be in charge of the work In this district, and shows that the govern ment has determined upon moving rapidly in the distribution of the tracts: "Louis Sharp, chief of the field division of the general land office, will leave with a large force of men during the coming week to begin the task of classifying the agricultural land of the Oregon tt California grant. He will commence his work close to the California boundary, in Jackson 'or Josephine counties, and work north until all of the 2,300,000 acres of the grant have been exam ined and put in the classifications in which each parcel belongs under the terms of the grant land act "It is guessed, for no one knows at this time, that approximately 800, 000 acres of the grant lands will fall , clearly within the agricultural classi fication, and this acreage will furnish 6.000 homesteads of 160 acres each. Jt is probable, however, that the classification will result in many 40 acre tracts being added to this, so that the total number of homestead entries which will ultimately come from the grant will be much in ex cess of 5,000. , ; "It is announced by Mr. Sharp that the agricultural lands will be opened to entry as rapidly as tfiey are classified, under the unit system. Under this plan as goon as Mr. Sharp and his crews finish the classification of a designated unit of land, this will be reported to the general land office, checked and accepted by it, and the local offices be notified to open, the tract to entry. It Is expected that the first unit will be ready some time dur ing the fail of the present year. "The entries will be made under the departmental regulations of May 22, 1914, relating to entry of land which has previously been withdrawn from entry. This is .practically the same procedure under which the land offices operate in the opening of In dian reservation lands to entry and settlement. "Under this system, after the local office gives notice that the lands are to be opened to entry application to enter the land can be made at any time within 20 days prior to the date of opening. The applications can be presented in person at the lo(al office, hy mall or otherwise,, under the gen eral homestead act. Theise applica tions, o made, will be received by the land office and treated as though filed simultaneously. "After the lands become subject to entry all applications to enter will be received and listed in. the order of their filing at the land office. "The register and receiver will handle all applications filed simul taneously under the drawing system. Where there Is no conflict the appli cation will be allowed, irrespective of whether settlement Is alleged. Where there Is a conflict between different applicants, and one of the applicants alleges prior settlement, Mb applica tion will be allowed and the other re jected. Prior settlement, tinder the land grant act, means that the ap plicant, duly qualified to enter the lands, "has resided thereon, to the same extent and In the same man ner as Is required under the home stead laws, since the first day of De cember, 1913, and who has Improved the land, and. .devoted some portion thereof to agricultural use and who J HEINZ MUSTARD SAUCE AN APFKTIZ1NQ CONDIMENT, OOMMMNO THE FLAVOR OF PUUB MV8TARD WITH FINE OliD VINEGAR AND PURE SPICKS.

"Where two or more conflicting ap plications, each containing allega tions of prior settlement, are made, a hearing 'will be ordered to deter mine the priority of right, which hearing will be restricted to those ap plicants alleging prior settlement "In those cases where applications conflict In whole or in part, and no prior settlement is alleged, the reg ister and receiver will write the names of the applicants on cards and put theee cards In blank envelopes and at 3 o'clock on the afternoon the lands are opened to entry, or one week later If the drawing can not be handled on the first day, the en velopes are to be thoroughly mixed in the presence of such of the appli cants as may desire to attend and drawn. As the envelopes are drawn they are to be numbered In the order of the drawing, and the applications will be allowed In the order of their drawing." LABOR DAY FISTIC BOUT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP ' Chicago, July 24. Representatives for Freddie Welsh and Charley White signed articles here today for a 20 round bout for the lightweight cham pionship before the Colorado Springs, Col., Athletic club, Labor day. The articles declare that both men may keep their 10-round engagements with Benny Leonard, of New York. Welsh meets Leonard next Friday night, while "White meets him August 10. , Jn case of either being knocked out by Leonard the Colorado Springs fight is automatically called off. Billy Roche, of New York, was named to referee the scrap. DENY APPEAL OF . ROGER CASEMENT London. July 24.

July 24-Men connect - ed with the Osean Rhederel confess - ed today that they are in the dark as to the present whereabouts of the Bremen, sister ship of the submarine freighter Deutschland.

The dilatory, daredevil diver boat Deutschland was still in this port of dreams and ocean going mosquitoes today. The dreams were more dopey and the mosquitoes more ferocious than ever, but actual facts about the Ger man adventurer's homeward voyage were stowed carefully In the doublet locked thoughts of the promoters. The Deutschland sister ship, the Bremen, is due, it Is said, "at any time." Whether clearance has been actually granted the Deutschland is closely guarded. It it has, the Deutschland must clear out for the capes by night or re-clear, and In any case she must submit to sealing of her wireless if she stays longer In port.

This la a generally admitted fact and needs no argument. We have, however, some troubles to con tend with and some problems to solve. One of these Is the pear blight. The southern Oregon experiment station Is doing some excellent work In this direction. Mr Relmer, In charge of the station, has been get ting together pear stocks from all sources, until he now has the largest collection of pear seedlings In the world, with a view to getting a stock that Is blight resistant. The progress .that he Is making was shown In a demonstration meeting held at the 'station near Talent last Thursday. iMr. Be-ltuer showed where hundreds of pear seedlings, of different vnrle- 'tles. had been Inoculated with the same culture, that many of them were very susceptible to blight, while some that had been repeatedly Inoculated lntti?ren cntl,roly ,mmuM .
