DELEGATES SHOULD FORMULATE PROGRAM Governor Withycombe has issued a call for a conference, to be field at Salem, September 15 for the purpose of consider ing plans or disposition of the Oregon & Calif orriia Railroad granted Jands. Clackamas County delegates are already being named and they are formulating the plans which they will present to , the conference, claiming, as one of the counties with large acreage' of the gfant ltulds, that their plans should J)e given considerable weight. Lane county should have even of an interest in the con ference, for her acreage ok the grant lands is' even greater tfian Ts tjiat of Cafc'ltanias'. Tlie county' hirougli its county court is entitled to a number of delegates, and the county should also receive a portion of the delegates appointed by the State Grange and other state-wide organizations. The cdunty cdiirt has named its apportionment, and the other delegates should be appointed Avithln the next ten days, and then these delegates should get together and for mulate some of the principles upon any plan adopted must be based. C. Schuebel of Oregon City, lieading a group of business and professional men of that place has outlined a plan ,or two. He believes the state should buy the land from the rail roads, at $2.50 an acre and then sell it to actual settlers. The profit made by the state, he suggests, should "fie applied to the school fund. With this plan, he said, the state would make a profit on the land and settlers would secure homesteads at a reasonable figure. He believes that the timber should" be marketed separate from the land and'in cases where the stump land is, not fit for agricultural purposes, it should be reforested. In case' this plan is found impracticable, he urges that the fed eral government buy the land and sell it to actual settlers, tyrnipg the profits oyer to the school fund. I The -history of Oregon publia land's, has not been jto. tha credit of the state in the handling of these lands, and it "is somewhat of an open question as to, whether it is not rather late to attempt to being a state forestry policy. At any rate, the Lane County .delegation to this confer ence ought to be named at an early date, and it ought to be considering some of the broader principles to be discussed, Tho politician who isTalrcady to jump' sltlownya railroads and holler for tho "(leer poonul" la gonorally a nt tho employ ing no ono but himself and that at public oxponao. The rail roads are our biggest taxpayers and largest employers of labor. According to compilations Just completed by tho auditing department of tho O. W. R. & N. Company for 1014, tho com pany has oxponded for wages, taxes, construction and for other purposes incident to tho conduct of its business In Ore gon, Washington, and Idaho, an nggrcgato of $15,r73,355 This Is $50,893 for each working day of tho year. Although the exact proportion of this amount that wont for labor has not boon compiled, tho company nnounces that a largo per cent of their operating and maintenance oxpenso Is chargenblo to labor. Outsldo of operating expense, which represents two thirds of tho expenditure, tho appropriation for .Investment aiul construction, totaling over three million dollars, wis tho biggest charge for tho year. Tho company paid In taxes $1, 410,715. These figures are Impressive, as showing tho lnrge part tho railroad plays In contributing to the Industrial prosperity of the community It serve's. Were ono to trace tho extent to which the industries are dependent upon tho railroad for their growth and welfare, its irilluonco would bo manifest Into tho very foundation of our Industrial activity. ! Kind words for the Springfield auto tourist camp ground are beiflg spread abroad, and the popularity of the grounds gains everyday. It Is ono of tho well worth whilo efforts of tho community. Our idea of a mean woman is ono who refuses to pay tho Doctor after he has converted the )ate laniented's insurance policy Into ready money. 'r Never by any chance do tho summer rcsortcrs who send you post cards tell you anything yqu want tq know. ' That billion bushel Wheat crop Is real prosperity. Hayti is evidently afraid to be alone in tho dark. Three weeks more, and then school will begin. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend to our many friends and neighbors our sincere thanks tor tneir Kinu services, and sympathy In the sickness and death of our wife and mother, and ' also for the beautiful floral offerings.
