The letter nliould hu directed to liny iiuimhcr of Congress with whom r.ny Oregonlan Ih acquainted.

T nil OregonlaiiB who linvc giv en the matter my thought, It In apparent that the inomliors of Con gri'HH from the eaHtem and uotithern Htntej cnHt their votus on the Clmm-lierlaln-Kerrlit hill without giving the fitntti of Oregon that conHldcrat'on. which Ih rightfully to ho expected from tho luglulatoiH of the United KtlltCH. The Chamherlaln-I'errla hill pro vides tho meaiiH for the dlsposnl of tho Oregon-California railroad grant landn and tho division of the funds to ho secured therefrom. No direc tion Ih Hindu to tho manner of ap praisal mid riottlumont of tho lands nnd wu uro ncccpMng tho division of the money an provided In the hill which wnn lift per cent to the school fund of Oregon, lift per cent to comi ties In which tho lands aro sltunted, 4(1 pur rout to tho general lecltinm tlon fund mill 10 per cent to the Fed oral treasury. A general objection does ciiiiiu, however, from all sec tloim of the Htuto r.s to the plan al lowing tho reclamation luirenii to expend tho inoueyH represented liy tho 40 per cent division wherever Its oltlopm may decide.

I'oiiitructlon of reclamation ('Iiiiinher Siiimii(n Hill, In support of the Slnnott hill, tho Portland Chamher of Commorco has sent I'lipKwi thereof with explanatory letters to all of the state sorletles represented In Portland, to all tho commercial clubs and Chamher of Commerce of the stHte, mid to every liottspapur. Kuril Is asked to make nil urgent roqueat to every resident of Oregon whom It can reach to be gin wrltliiK a series of letters to UMiiiheiH of Congrttas with whom the may be i;ciiilntud, particular ly those fiom the eHstsru r.ud south- orii staled, and to purwum with whom thoy have an iicnuslulatice residing la Hluli statoM In these letters the request will he madti that they ask their repriMi'iitatlvtM and wiualors to do justice to Oregon In this lustier . nil ii" support the Hlnnott. hill. Per the benellt or those writing letters, the following Information bus been tubulated and It Is considered advisable to quote The tuxod lands of nil kinds tu tho Htate of Oregon amount to 25,. 131.270 iutoh. The nun-tatcd lands In tho State of Oregon amount to 36,267,204 iipron. These Include Indian Kes ervatlom, National 1'urks, and Mon umonts, National Forests, .Military Hesorves, power sites, reservoir sites, co til resorvea, unappropriated Government lunds, lands filed on but not pstented, state school lands, and tho OreKoii-t'ullfornln land grunt, Muiy BroJix-tN In Htnte, There aro In the state, largely In tho southern, central and eastern tleru of counties, 32 projects for rec lamation of desert lands. These cover 1,108,699 acres and the total amount of money which will hu need ed to complete them Is 154.611,000. It Is not expected that such a sum inn bo reulUed through tho 40 per cent sale price of tho grant lauds which will bo devoted to tho recla mation work, hut whatever the sunt may bo, It will " vMuau pose In preparing these lands for tho occupation of settlers. If all of the .lands could ho reclaimed thoy would rurnisn nomes lor over iu,uuu u-.m- llles and add materially to the tax valuation of tho state. It Is prob able that over 2,000,000 acres of such desert lands ccn bo ultimately reclaimed nnd turned Into prosperous farms In this state, Oregon has already contributed $10,717,000 to the reclamation funds of tho United States, most of the money being need In the construc tion of projects In other states. On ly ?3, 701,000 have been expended by the reclamation service within the State of Oregon. "From the foregoing figures, it Is apparent that Oregon has tho best claim on all the revenue to bo de rived from tho grant lands which Ho within this stato und wo earnest ly urgo every citizen of tho state to begin nn aggressive campaign for writing of these letters to Senators and Hopresentntlves throughout tho east and south," said President Colt of tho Portland Chamber of Com merce. "Tho only chance to have the Slnnott bill adopted will ho through a vigorous campaign nnd evory citizen must do everything In his power to have It hacked up. I believe that eastern Senators nnd Congressmen will do tho right thing by Oregon when they understand the. situation." It Is Hiiggested that Oregon peo ple wrlto tho eastern newspapers, dallies nnd weeklies, published In their old homo states nnd by every means that occur to thorn', ngltato tho adoption of tho Slnnott bill, which should always bo referred to by number II. It. No. lGIiO". It Is hoped thnt every reader of this paper will, without further urg ing, appoint himself or herself n committee to perfect an organization to push forwnrl this campaign, bear ing in mind that tho Improvement of ono part of the Htate helps the whole state. i lotler i onii hiiggcMiil. Tho following Is Hiiggested as a form for n letter to he sent tu Con grcBsmon: "Since becoming a resident of Ore gon I havo naturally tried to become familiar with tho problems which confront tho people of this stntu and the development of tho state, and I rm writing you at this tlma feeling that your purpose) will ho to give support to this measure In Congress which will give exact Justice to the peoplo of Oregon. "A Ciiiiniliorln'n-Rtrrls bill dis posing of tho Orcgou-Cnllfornla land grant provides that 40 per cent of tho I'aveuuo shall bo turned over to tho reclamation service. Wo fear that tho reclamation olllclals wilt use thel arger part of these funds on projects outside of tho State of Or egon, therefore, wo ask for tho sup port of II. It. No. 10.V.I7 by Mr. Slu not, which provides that nil of tho 10 per rent shall bo used within tho State of Oregon. "Wo havo .Ifi, 267,20 I acres of iioti-tiiMihlo laud In Oregon. The taxed land consists of 26,f3 1,270 acies. A largo amount of tho noil taxed land Is In tho districts whero 112 reclamation projects have been surveyed and attempts made to re claim the land. If these could ho completed they will provide homos for more than 15,000 families and It would he In the prosecution of this work that the 10 per rent of tho ri'M'iiiHi referred to would b used. "Dromon has already i-outi United more than $10,000,000 to tho rec lamation funds of the I'ulted States, while out of tho $107,000,000 which has been expended by the Itoclnmn t Ion Service, only $3,500,00 havo been expended on Oregon projects. The balance of tho money libit gouu to other slHtew, whore we fenr thnt this land Kraut revenue will g.i un less we have tho support of disin terested men llktt yourrelf to see that Justice Is done this Htate. "The House Committee which hus the Klnnott hill In charge Is control led by the roeUmutlonlsts of the middle west, so I am told. There fore, It will take a strong tight to get justice for this state. "I trust von will pnrdon my ear iiestueas III presenting this matter, but It Is of grout Importance and I feel that joii must know something of tlitt situation. "I hope that wo shall receive your im must co-operation In thop iissago of tho Slnnott hill. 'Willi lost wishes, 1 beg to re main," Sincerely yours, It Is suggested that wiiere letters aro written to residents of other state who aro not members of Congress, that said communications contain the facta set forth In the foregoing letter, nnd that tho party o whom tho letter Is addressed bo requested to communicate w'th his congressman, and seuator immediate ly, BUY AT HOME This Is an advertisement.
