Governor Withycombe lias called a conference for Thursday, November IS of the seven state commissioners anil tlie Southern Pacific oitlcials to formulate some plan for tiie settle ment of tlie OregonCalifornia land grant controversy. According to resolutions adopted at tlie Land Grant Conference held in Salem, September 16-17, there was a general desire to reach an agreement between the state government and tlie corporation, to put an end to lit igation and open tlie lands to settle ment on fair terms. So fur as tlie members of tlie com mission have expressed themselves through (lie press, there seems to be a unanimous agreement that under no circunistanceH shall any of tlie 2.- 300,0011 acres lie added to tlie forest reserve. There is also a unanimous desire that tlie railroad company be re quired to pay up all back taxes for several years amounting to 12,000,- ooo, ami now due tlie eighteen coun- Rexall Tooth Paste is meant to pleas« you.

That is why it is the favorite among all our tooth preparations, selling faster than any other three of them.

Tlie states and counties are equal ly interested in keeping tills property, valued at about *40.000,000, upon the tax rolls as a big asset of rev enue for the future. It is variously estimated that there are possibly 400,000 acres of lids land suitable for homes, and on which honlflde settlers could locate and make a living. Soniii of the commissioners are very anxious that the State Land board should handle such lands as might he opened to settlement in such a way as to ilo Justice to the railroad company and at the same time add several million dollars t< the irreducible school fund. ft Is believed that after several preliminary conferences a final agree ment can be reached on some of these lines and put an end to a con troversy that for the past eight years lias held up the development of the state.

Corroborative to Western World’s review of the lumber situation in last week's issue the Oregonian lias since published the following: Lumber business in Portland and vicinity is beginning to improve.

But in spite of the adverse condi tions locally and in the foreign trade the lumber men are experiencing a pronounced improvement in their business on account of Eastern de- nands for their products. Logging operators. who have not been able to move their logs for more than a year, in the last few weeks have found themselves confronted with orders from mills and manufac- turers. Mills that have been idle or run ning on part time now are beginning to ship some of their surplus mater ial and are getting ready to increase their working forces if tlie market activity continues. It is improbable, however, that logging camps will find it necessary to operate through the winter. It is the custom even in normal times, to suspend activity through tlie winter months anil supply tlie trade from their surplus. They do not expect Die demand to become so great as to exhaust their surplus before Spring. Tlie activity among tlie logging plants lias been reflected in tlie banks if Portland, where tlie bulk of the lumber business of the Northwest is financed.
