TIERNEY, Agent' ' Arlington, Or. SCHOOL LAND FRAUD. tale Will Hold Back Titles to Large Tracts In Oregon, Raiem John Do Lalttre, a Minneap olis banker, appeared before the state land board last week to show himself nd members of his family to be the innocent purchasers of 20,000 acies of state land sold to various persons In U00 through the mttlumahlp of II. II. Turner and A. T. Kelliher. The board was not entirely satisfied with the showing made and gave him until July 25 to submit further evidence. At that time the board will probably make nown its policy regarding the Issuance of deeds to holders of state land certi ficates which have been fraudulently obtained. At the meeting of the board an order was also made which will result in a teat mandamus suit being brought to determine whether an Innocent purch sser of a land sale certificate is entitled to a deed, even though the certificate was fraudulently obtained. . This order wss made at the request of W. II. Holmes, who came before the board as the attorney for the unnamed client. He presented two certificates of sale, Is sued upon applications bearing the names of II. A. Wild and I. U. (iirard, and sworn to before H. II. Turner, the notary public, who is supposed to be under indictment for his connection with state land transactions. The two ertlllcatee are from a large number which Mr. Holmes said are hypothecat ed In a Chicago bank. KREBS MEETS WITH SUCCESS. Hop Raisers are Signing Up for Big Pool for 1005. Salem President Krebs, of the Ore linn Hopholdcrs' association, baa re turned from Ht. Paul, in the norm enu of this county, where a meeting of growers was held. Mr. Krebs says that ahuul 45 growers were present and that all Bigned agreements to transfer their 1005 crop of hops to a cortwration ol growers to be formed at Salem at some future date. Committees were appoint' ed to secure similar agreements from those growers in the St. Paul, district who were not present. Mr. Krebs says that the movement for the organisation of a growers' cor poration is meeting with much greater success than he anticipated. In the Independence district, all but three irrowers nave siuneu agreements to transfer their hops to the corpoiatlon The enthusiasm with which the grow ers are taking up the project convinces Mr. Krubs that MR per cent of the llH)o crop will be in the bands of the corpor at ion. The plan is to have the affairs of the corporation managed by a board of di rectors composed of growers elected from the various districts by the grow era themselves. TITLE CLAIMED BY 8TATE. Klamath County Land Good Now Only for Hay. Salem The state of Oregon has as serted title to 4,500 acre of land in the vicinity of Swan lake, Klamath county, and questions the right of about doten settlers to acquire the una from-the government under the home stead laws. In order to determine the rights of the state and the settlers, the government has assigned a special agent at Klamath Falls to go with Slate land Agent Oswald West and ascertain the character of the land. Though the state's claim is adverse to the settlers, there Is no intention on the part of the state land board to oust the settlers from their homes. On the contrary, the assertion of the state s claim will be a protection to the set tlers, for It will remove all doubt as to the validity of their title. If the In vestigatlon should result In a decision that the state's claim is good, all bona fide homestead entrymen will be given an opportunity to buy from the state at the minimum price of (1 per acre. There is room for dispute as to the character of the land. It is low and for a considerable part of the year is covered with water. Late in the sum mer the water recedes sufficiently to permit bay harvesting, and the settlers save a crop for winter feed. In many, and perhaps all instances, the settlers cannot live on the land all the year, for the reason that it overflows. If it is in fact swamp land, the settlers could never acquire valid title through their homestead entries, the experience of the Warner valley settlers being an il lustration of the outcome of an effort of that kind. Some of the settlers realize the condition of their title and are de sirous that the state press its claim in order that they may know whether they can secure the land from the govern ment or not. If they cannot, the soon er they find it out the less will be their 1 s. If they can. the determination of that fact will leave them with indts putable titles. In the case of the YV arner valley lands the state sold the swamp lands to men other than the settlers, and litiga tion has thus far resulted adversely to the settlers. In this instance the state will settle the question of title before Helling the land, and then, if it be de cided that the state owns the land un (Ht the swamp land grant, will give bona fide homesteaders a chance to purchase. Year of Growth at 'Varsity. University of Oregon, Eugene The class that was graduated this year not the largest class ever graduated by the University of Oregon, there being 31 members only, but the increase attendance and the general character ot work done is such as caused every alumni to approve of the regime President P. L. Campbell. One of the greatest changes made in the univerai ty during the past year was the adop tion of the partially free elective sys tern. That change was made as a re suit of the firm growth of state higl: schools, thus milking it possible for the university not only to abolish the pre paratory department, but also to place the student upon his own responsibility in choosing a course of study. One Bar Made Easier. Independence The government dredger in the river below here has completed its work on the bar and will iro on down the river to smaller ob structions. The work is expected be completed by July 1. No work will be done above this point this year. clwnnel 35 feet wide at the bottom and 45 at the top is being cut. This will give four feet of water during low water and will enable the boats to make the run between Salem and this place throughout the summer, which has not been possible heretofore. PORTLAND MARKETS. -X.J 1 MS5 HAY HARVEST IN LANE COUNTY. Vetch Has Come Into Popular Favor and la Raised Generally. . Eugene Farmers in this county are nearly all in the midst of hay harvest. and for two weeks all energy will be directed towards putting in the hay for market or for winter use. The crop is the best that has been seen here for years. All kinds of grass has grown better than usual and on account of a shortage a year ago there is an in creased acreage. There is an immense amount of vetch, which has proven to be one of the best fodder crops ever introduced here, for the triple reason that it is very nourishing, yields a heavy crop and enriches rather than impoverishes the land. Its use has become general and nearly every farmer raises more or less of it. Less grain will be cut for hay than usual, on account of the abundance of the purely hay crops. Hop Men Demand Thirty Cents. Hillsboro A meeting of Washington county hop growers has held here last week to consider an offer for the 1904 crop. It was voted to not accept the quotation, and the prospective buyers were notified that no offer of less than 30 cents would be given any considera tion. Practically all of the hops un sold are in the hands of growers who can afford to hold, and there is no in clination to part with holdings unless at the price named above, and it is im probable that they would even sell at 30 cents.

First Crop of Alfalfa Cut. Pendleton F. B. Holbrook, manager of the Oregon Land s Water company, of Irrigon, was in the city last week at tending the good roads convention. Mr. Holbrook says that the first crop of alfalfa in his vicinity has been cut and stacked, and that the second crop is already a foot high. Strawberries in that section are nearly gone, and black cap raspberries are on the wane, having been ripe for several weeks. Grain Ready for Threshers. Milton A number of farmers north and east of this place have binders at work binding their grain, which is al most ripe enough to thresh. While it may be bound before it is entirely ripe, the berries are perfeclty formed, and while yet in the dough it ripens in the stack. The yield of grain being bound will be far above the average, as crop conditions have so far this year been ideal in this vicinity. Stewart Campbell James Campbell r' THISTLE BAR CAMPBELL BROS..
