Through iinfortiuiiiti) delay the de sires of tills nnd othor Cuntrul Ore gon commtinltloH ifKnrdltiK tbu dis position of the lands embraced in tlio Ilenhnm Kullu seKrcKiithm woro not brought to tbu (i 1 1 on t Ion of tbu Div ert Lund Hoard before It bad sunt Its request to tlio Federal imtliorltles that a renuwal of tlio eontiTct tyliiK up tliesu latiilH bu grunted. Tbu ilonrd apparently know notb lnK of tbu fueling In this country ru gnrdlng those lamlH. It heard only the request of tbu C. O. I. Company, nnd knowing nothing of opposition, it granted that request. All of this Is too bad. '1 bo com miinltlus of thu district do not want tliosu liindH sowed up In another con tract und withdrawn further from development. Prospective settlers do not want to be deprived of their pos hibllltles. The railroads, existing nnd planned, will regret their contin ued non-productiveness. Much of these 171,000 acres Ik good 'land. Most of It Is apparently desirable dry-farm ncreago. Its do velopmunt now. will glvo now-com-urn n chnncu, It will mean tonnage for tlio railroad, wealth for tho commun ities and tuxes for tho county. Tlio' only wny to get iiitch development with any' reasonable promptness Is to throw the lands open to entry un der tho public land laws, Tho Irrigation scheme embracing them Is, (in extremely expensive one. Already ..It, Ihik been found iindeslr able. by competent Investigators. It would bu undertaken with funds only after several large tral Oregon projects, nlrendy pro nounced moro feasible, were complet ed; nnd nt tho very best thnt will not bo for ninny, tunny yenrs, If ever. The company Iiiih never turned u linnd with this segregation. Thero Is absolutely no reason to suppose, from the present situation, that It ever will bu able to attempt Its de velopment. There Is Iohh reason to hope that It. or niivone ol"o. could Interest the large amount of capital necessary. If , the segregation over Is to bo wnturoil, It will be accomplished only under tho district plan. And when the laud Is settled nnd (level rped, t will bo ns easy nnd easier than now. to bring that about. This is n mntter of flrut clnss lm portnnce to every Central Oregon community. Our representatives nt Washington should so understand It. And our citizens, community organi zations and newspapers should see to It tlmt tho well-founded wishes of this countrv In the premises becomo known nt Wnshlngton, nt Snlcm nnd wliirver elo It will avail. R will benefit all of uh, and hurt no one, to rvold .fnrthor contractu nnd open the Und to settlement. C. O. D. The Central Oregon Development League has ttlgnlflcnnt Initials. "C. O. D." means'cash on delivery." And tho League, like nil Central Oregon development, stands for that very thing. Centrnl Oregon Is ready to deliver. It Is going to "deliver thn goods" to .Mr. Strahorn. And In return, when he nnd his nssoclntoa deliver tliulr project, completed, Centrnl Oregon will turn over to them the cash, In tho shape of Hiiltnblo returns for their Investment nnd their foresight, Inge nuity nnd cournge. And whoever will bnnk upon Cen trnl Oregon nnd bring something here In the wny of brnlns, nblllty and in vestment, will get ample returns from bis actldn. Perhaps as never before Central Oregon Is anle to deliver. In equiv alents cf many kinds, there will be "rnph on development" In Control Oregon. Says the Oregon Journal: "High urn development in Oregon was put b:ifk years when Engineer Howlbv was lomoved." 'llowlby, It will be remembered, was the partlculnr pot of West nnd Sam Hill, who In turn were p. p.'s of the .Juimml'H.

Acrordlng to his own voluntary admissions, the former adjutant gen eral of Oregon under tlio West re gime had shortages In his recounts of over $2,000.
