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-,

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

the best of the onoccupied lauds of
the state to become available for ag

Editor. Two able and excellent ar
ticles hve been published in tbe'Ore

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. This
grant of many millions of acres of the
best land iu the stace was made by
congress primarily to aid the develop
ment and settelemeut of Oregon, and
was intended to aid the railroad only
as a means of aiding the state. This
pnrpose of congress in making the
grant is the ground upon which the
