tion was expressed at the action of
Chief Engineer Nunn bt the Oregon
State Highway Commission In send
ing Dr. Losell, the analytical chem

U. P. Swlgcrt of the Pacific nriflge
Co. of Portland was present at tho

gratulated tho Uurns Commorclnl
club upon their work, bade thorn to
proceed to uplift tho community and
not let discouragements or iacK or
attendance, deter 4hem. from accom
plishing the object they had In view.
Mr. Swlgert was for soveral years
president of the Portland Commercial
club and he offered his assistance to
the club to get the slgnltures or
the Portland peoplo to our petitions,
not only because it would help Burns
but of benefit to Portland merchants.
Secretary Jones has prepared a
petition 'to bo presented to tho
Fourth Postmaster General for a
dally mall service between llend and

Senators and Hepresentatlves will aid
us in this much needed reform.

The Pacific Live Stock company

mentioned last week in its settlement .
with tho state land board of (ha

Sunt. A. H. Olscn wus lit tho city
tho foro part of tills weekand dis
cussed tho proposition with, several
people. Mr. Olson Kavo poKlllva
asauranco that the lauu wouia iia
sold Just as rapidly iik possible.
Mr. Olnen also stated it wan tha
desire of the company to dispone of.
the land at once. If weather condi
tions, will permit thu Kngiueerlug
features will ho worked ouv una .
fall In order that thu tracts may be
ready for sale at least by early
spring. It Is the intention to lay
out u system of ditches, rouda. and
everything tbnt will bo boueflclnl to
making .the land attruclivo to tno
purchaser.
Every aero to bo sold will carry
a full water right and will bu pro

promises to bo one of the best arrang
ed sales of real estate ever u.ttcmptT
ed lu this section. The fact that the
company feels the land Is too valu
able to devote to. stock raising la a
feature thai Indicates breaking up
of tho big holdings of the concern la ¬
this valley ,.and the., colonisation,
bringing In many families au'd" (hue
adding to the poptilatlba of the coun
try. This also iateana greater and
inoro Intensive production.
Mr. Olaen said' It was tha hope at
his concern to dljfposo of tho fin
unit of these lands at once. If they
can all be sold out during the com
ing spring It will suit the cesajaiyr
much bettor than If tho Kale ahoul a
contlnuo longer.
The only p6sslblo druwhaCk Uh thn
quick sale of these lands It would,
appear to the writer Is the prloe. Mjr.
Olflen was not In a position to ut&U
what the prices would ha. Of course
tho land will bo appraised In accor&
anco with Its producttveuesfl aui
each tract will bo priced on such
basis. The long term paymenta will
be attractive in the purchase of titers
lands und will be a feature, yet. the
prlco will govern to more or loai ex
tent tho rapidity of tbo movement of
this land to small holders. . ,
