CALVERT, Press Supt. Grants Pass V. C. f. U. with constant people are justly asking ttiBt tne terms of the grant be complied with and that the National Government secure its enforcement. The terms of the grant are specific, and it is no in justice to ask to have that done which was agreed to be done. The lands were to be sold in tracts not to eiceed 100 acres to each settler and at a price not to exceed 3.50 per acre. In mak ing this grant congress followed iu a general way its policy of dealing with the public lands and it was clearly the purpose of congress to prevent the grant being converted into land monolopy, either by holding the lands out of market, or by selling them in large bodies. In company with Senator Bourne, I called upon Attorney-General Bona-, parte, and presented to him the memorial adopted by the Oregon Legislature at its last session, and ut..f.,..,i, nl fl.n A.tuu ihr.nt HAVE TO SELL LANDS two weeks later we called again opon T" . j the Attorney General and were Continued from first page I , ( greatly pleased to .find that he had Representative Hawley has given investigated the matter.

It hardly needs to be repeated that the present administration stands for the enforcement of the laws, and that it expects all lernous, great and small, to comply with their pro visions The opening up of these lands to develomeut and settlement will provide homss for a great num ber of people and will caue some of the best of the onoccupied lauds of the state to become available for ag riculture, fruit-growing, grazing and mining.

Said he yesterday iu a written com munication to The Oregojian: Salem, Or., April 13 To the Editor. Two able and excellent ar ticles hve been published in tbe'Ore gonian recently, concerning the lands grated by Congrefs to the Oregon & California Railroad and extending from Portland to the California line. One of tin so appeared on January 13, and the other on February 2, of this year. It is not my purpose to rostate the legal and historical matter with which these apers dealt. During the last campaign the matter of these grauts was a subject of interest, and I request opportunity thiongh the Oregonisn to report to the people what I have done thus far.
