HILL GETS 800,000 ACRES Oregon & Western Colonliatlon Co. Property In Central and Kaatrrn Oregon will bo Opened for Settlement by Hallway Man Louis W. 11111. whose resignation u president of the Great Northern Hallway U expected shortly, has se cured control of 800,000 acres of land In Central and Eastern Oregon from the Oregon & Western Colo nisation Co. and propose to throw. It open for Immediate settlement Associated with Mr. Hill la w. y. Davidson, a St- Paul capitalist. In this connection also. Dill Itantcy of Duma haa announced that be will .throw open to settlement within the next few years 200,000 acres of his Harney county holdings. The land acquired by Mr. Hill and associate was originally known as the Willamette and Cascade Moun tain land grant. This strip, which extended eastward for 400 miles, was to be the basis for a bond Issue for the construction of the road. The bonds were Issued, the road built and the bonds ultimately found their way Into the hands of French capitalists. These holders refused to throw the country open to settlement, hold ing the rost area In Its original un improved condition and realizing nothing on their investment. Finally the Oregon & Washington Colonli atlon Company was formed. . The land extends from the western slope of the Cascade Mountains cast ward to Idaho and includes aon.o of the best portions of Crook, Jla.noy and Malheur counties. The principal towns within the tract aro Prlneville and Durns, although the deal does not Include much actual town property. Alternate Quarter Sections. According to the terms of the original grant the company that agreed to build the military road was dseded only every alternate quarter action,-so the 'property acquired by if. Hill '! bis associates is spotted with farms of settlers and other largo tracts held by smaller cororatlons and Investors. With the purchase or this Immense acreage, the syndlcato will bo ablo to control virtually the cntlro water supply originating along the territory Included In tho holdings. A large part of tho Malheur River runs through tho eastern part of tho land. This river drains Malheur Lake, ono of the largest bodies of water in Kastorn Oregon. To tho northwest of Hums tho Crooked Itiver takes Its source and runs In a northweatorly course and empties Into tho Des chutes River about IB miles west of Prinevllle. Thcso two rivers form tho chief dralnago system of central Eastern Oregon. From the fsct that the development of tho Iramenso hold ings will depend to a great extent upon Irrigation, the water supply Is considered one of the groatest assets of the acreage. teo of a republican form of govern ment to tho states belonged to the political department of tho Govern ment and camo up, for Instance, on tho admission of Senators and mem bers of tho llousa to their respective bodies. LAKEV1EW IS BUSY OKXGON SYSTEM WINS :? & Supreme Court Upholds Initiative and Referendum. WASHINGTON. D. 0. Only Con gress, and not the Supreme Court of the United States, may object to the Inltlativo and referendum method of legislation In the States, so the Su preme Court haa decided. That tribunal held that the ques tion of whether a stste still main tained a republican form of govern ment guaranteed by the Federal Con stitution after It adopted the Initi ative and referendum is a problem for Congress, and not a judicial one for the courts. The decision is based on the claim of the Pacific States Telephone ft Telegraph Company that a tax upon It, Imposed by the initiative and ref erendum method in Oregon, was un constitutional. The initiative Md referendum provisions In Missouri, California, Arkansas, Colorado, South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Maine and Arizona bung in the balance. An adverse decision would have af fected the proposed legislation of that character In many other states. Chief Justice White announced the decision of the court. Nono of the Justices dissented. The court alro gave a similar decision In reference to an ordinance In Portland, Ore., for the construction of a bridge. The chief Justice said that "a singular mlsapprphenston" bad exist ed on both sides of the ease, but that the "mists and confusion" were dis pelled by the decision of Justice Taney years ago, In which he dis posed of the Dorr's rebellion ques tlon. That was the cose of Luther versus Oorden, he ald.aud decided that the enforcement of the guaran- Citlzens Prepare for Development league Meeting. LAKKVIBW. Ore. Determined to make tho coming meeting of tho Cen tral Oregon Development Leagua one of the big events in Oregon this year, tho Lakovlew Commercial Club has appointed W. Lair Thompson and Q. V7. Illce as two members of a com mittee of three to have general sup ervision over tho meeting. As a compliment to the women of the city the club appolntod Mrs. E. K. nine- hart, president of the Women's Civic Improvement Club, as the third member of tho committee. ' Kxtenslvo arrangements are being made for tho celebration. One of the plans under consideration Is a veni son, trout and sage chicken dinner for the entire assemblage. It is planned to send a party of ten after deer, a group of tho sarao size after chickens and a larger party to obtain trout. It Is believed by some that this would show some of tho local products in a most appreciable way. Other unique features are to be on tho program, and tho citizens of Lakevlew will lie well prepared to entertain all of its guests.

GRAPE STAKES SET Indications nro for Knrly Cwnrtrue tlon of Rnlluny to tho South. In connection with tho rcitort of tho Oregon Trunk Railway buying property at La Pino, tno lnior-.Moun-tain of La Pino contained tho follow ing last week: "It Is known that engineers have recently In-en ongnRed In setting L'rniln taken nil tho rlcht-of-Wny south of llond to Lava llutto and overy thing scorns to point to early construction work by the road. Tho road seems to recognlzo that tho 33 nillee to Iji Pino would Ik tno oest im vim- pt'tloii ut any on its lino In Central Oregon. It would get tho business or thu country as far south aa Summer I.ake. where now tho bulk of tho business goes over tho Narrow gaugo to Rono and San Francisco. Rulldlng to La Pino would eliminate thn hnni nvor Ijivn llutlo by freight ers, which Is the cause for tho busi ness getting away from Portland and tho road. "This glaring fact also remains: It Is only CO miles from Chllllco, tho nmiiml tnrmtnua of the 8. P.. to Crescent, the entire distance being the easiest kind of grade. ir tne H. P. ahniild build to that point this summer, and tho Oregon Trunk not go on from Rend, that road would nni nniv pM all thn buslnesa from Fort Rock, Bllvor Lake.
