The land - grant conference,
held at Salem last week, to dis
cuss the disposition of the Ore
gon and California land grant
problem, closed its session last
Friday.night. Two. resolutions,
which however. did not conflict,
were adopted, the first asking
congress to enforce the terms of
the original grant. These terms
provide for the, sale of the lands
to actual settlers at' $2.50 per
acre, regardless of the real value
of the kinds. The other resolu
tion provided fer a committee te
consist of the governor, the sec
retary of state, the state treas
urer, the chairman of the con
ference and three of its members
to be appointed by the chairman.
The purpose of this committee
is to confer with the Southern
Pacific Company, which holds a
$2,50 per acre equity in the land,
in an effort to secure their co
operation in the opening and
settlement of the lands, . without
litigation. As the people of Or
egon and the railroad company
are interested alike in the set
tlement and development of the
lands, for business reasons, it is
anticipated that an early agree
ment for the disposition of the
lands on an equitable basis may
be reached and the recommen
dations forwarded to congress.
But the railroad attorneys claim
for their company not only a
$2.50 an acre equity, but that it
may sell or lease the timber
and minsrals thereon. Really a
solution of the problem appears
remote, as far as Oregon is con
cerned, because the disposition
of the land is vested in coneress,
and it must be remembered that
Oregon is represented by a very
smixll percentage of the entire
congress.

which to congratulate most fer

clude the odds are about even.

The conference of delegates to.
the Western States Water Power
convention at Portland this week j
will probably do about ai much j
in changing the Ferris bill, as
did the Land-Grant conference
at Salem last week in settling
the Oregon-California land prob-'
lem. What the western states
want is a power bill that will be
liberal enough to induce capital
to develop our water power and
at the same time conserve the
interest of the people. East-j
erners nave not the same inter
est, or knowledge of western
conditions, but they have larger
vote. There is where hangs the .
doubt as to the results of the!
conference. i
