Production had been tre mendously increased along many lines under th* stimulus o f war demand, and with mor/ labor needed than could be obtained, it was inevitable that wages should go to the top knotch. That they could be held there, with the army demobilised, the mu nition plants shut down, and ship building cut down, wm certainly a vain dream, however, much we were all benefitting by a period of full em ploying at the highest wages ever. But to strike now for the mainten ance o f a war scale of wages, is the worst possible remedy.

A budget will be made at once cov ering cost o f propoaed building and some time during February a cam paign will be made to socure sufficient funds to properly take car* o f the show. A tentative classifier Uon has already been made, which snows over $40,000 in premiums, making this show second only to the International. The fat stock and dairy interests have been given equal prominence, as well as the horse, sheep, gdat and hog men, with an appropriation o f $6,000 Tor night Horse Show. Fat stock re ceived $6,000 which is 60% over any previous recognition. Mr. Plummer also says, in a letter to County Agent Smith that they pro pose to ask tho legislature fox cn ap> propriation o f $26,000 to be used for premiums only; but we igugiae-thmt this year, when every effort is being made to reduce the str.te budget to bring it within the possible income for the year, $26,000 appropriations won’t grow on every bush. C. R. Smith, a Wealthy capitalist o f MenMha, Wisconsin, art to be paid $232,000 and the counties in which the lands are located are to be paid about $600,000 in accrued taxes. A percen tage o f the proceeds fo r sale pf the lands is to go into the school fund, another share to roads and port dis tricts, and the balance to the federal government , • • J i* In 1863 congress turned the lands over to the state o f Oregon on con dition that they be sold at $2.60 per acre in lots o f not to exceed 160 seres, the proceeds to be used to aid the building o f a military road. The state transferred the lands to a private cor poration on condition that the Com pany would carry out th* terms of the grant. A fte r that no requirement o f the grant wm respected. The provision that the M le should be on a hMis o f $2.60 per aero wm violated. So was the requirement that sales should be in lota not to exceed 160 acres. No road that could be called a road wm built. The whole process wm sham and camouflage, was delinquency and bad faith. One company that got hold of the lands bonded them fo r $1,600,000. The grant became the subject of spec ulation and barter. The violated cov enants In the case finally attracted the attention o f the government and suit wm brough for forfeiture. The hold ers of the lands were beaten in court. Congress wm authorised to restore Uie lands to the government on terms harmonious with the original gran t And after 66 years, the process o f restitution is actually taking place. The lands pro going back to the gov ernment for school, road and other purposes.

Besides the reason given above for net faexsating the price at present there b on* other.
