G overnor W ithycom be has
called a conference for Thursday,
November 18, o f the 9even state
commissioners and the Southern
Pacific officials to formulate
some plan for the settlement o f
this controversy.
A c c o r d i n g t o resolutions
adopted a t the Land Grant Con
ference held jn Salem, September
16-17, there was a general de
sire to reach an agreement be
tween the state government and
the corporation, t o put an end
to litigation and open the lands
to settlement on fair terms.
So far as tbe members of the
commission have expressed them
selves' through the press, there
seems to be a unanimous agree
ment that under no circum
stances shall any of the 2,300,-
000 acres be added t o tbe forest
reserve.
There is also a unanimous de
sire that tbe railroad com pany
be required t o pay up all back
taxes for several years am ount
ing t o $2,000.000, and now doe
tbe eighteen counties in which
the Land Grant is located.
The states and counties are
equalled interested in keeping
this property, valued a t about
$40,000,000, upon the tax rolls
as a big asset of revenues tor thé
future. *
It is variously estimated that
there are possibly 400,000 acres
o f this Land Grant suitable for
homes, and on which bonifide
settlers could locate and make a
living.
i:
Some o f tbe commissioners are
very anxious that the State Land
Board should handle such lands
as might be opened to settlement
in such a w ay as to d o justice to
the railroad com pany and at the
same time add several million
dollars to the irreducible school
fund.
It is believed that after sereral
preliminary conferences a final
agreement can be reached on
some o f these lines and pat an
end to a controversy that for
tbe past eight years, has held up

History records many an instance
in which trivial incidents have
shaped the destinies of nations. It
appears that a small silver inkstand
ana the quick wit of a prime minis»
ter once played an important part
In the history of the Netherlands.
William 111., king of the Nether
lands, was a man of violent and un
governs hie temper. Although in
general a clever statesman, he was
inclined for some reason or other to
involve Holland in the trouble that
was brewing between France and
Germany in 1870. He was deaf to
the appeals of bis ministers, who
foresaw the rain to the country that
war would bring.
Thorbecke, the prime minister,
resolved to make one last attempt
to change his sovereign’s resolution.
On entering the royal presence
Thorbecke was greeted with a rough
“ Good morning! What’s the news ?”
“ Nothing particular, your majes
ty. Only the people of The Hague
are talking a great deal of nonsense
about your majesty.”
“ About me!” exclaimed the mon
arch, in wrath. “ What do they say
about me?”
“ Well, sir,” answered the old
statesman, “The Haguers declare
that' your majesty has become stark
mad!”
Before he could utter another
word King William, bis face purple
with rage, jumped up and seized a
heavy silver inkstand with the in
tention of hurling it at the bead of
tbs premier. Fortunately a project
ing angle o f the inkstand caught in
me UDieciotn ana arsggea it on
the table with everything upon it.
In the confusion the discharge of
the missile was delayed for • mo
ment.
“ Sire,” mid Thorbecke quietly,
“ if your majesty hurls that beauti
ful inkstand at my head The
Haguers «ill have much reason for
their assertion!”
For s minute the angry king
gaaed in silence at his minister;
then be gradually lowered his arm
and replaced the inkstand on the
table. He walked to one of the
windows and stood looking out into
his seat and said, as if nothing had
happened:
*
“ And now tell me what you bavw
got to Nay.”
An boor later, when the states
man left, he carried with hiin the
monarch's promise to issue a proc
lamation that would declare the
neutrality of the Netherlands.—

A New York theatrical manager
was advising a friend to be eeutious
in an undertaking he had in view.
“ Yon can’t take too many pre
cautions,” he asserted. “ 'An ounce
of prevention,’ as the copybook used
to aayr 1* better than seven pounds
of allopathic, homeopathic or hy
dropathic cure.* One of the most
contented men I ever knew was the
most cautious. He was deaf and
dumb, and he n6»er went to bed
without putting on boxing glovea.”
“ Boxing glovss
gloves? What for?"
“ So that he wouldn’t talk in bis
sleep.”
