Portland. August 2 The pioneers
of Oregon were forced to undergo
many hardships in carving out
homes in the wilderness
To help
those pioneers, the Federal govern
ment granted to the Oregon-Cali
fornia Railroad Co. a large grant of
land to assist in building that road
ami to give tn Oregon more settlers
and more taxable property. The
government received its pay. all it
ever exweted. in the building of
the road and the concessions re
ceived

deposed of according tn the terms

Representative Sinnot is making
a last fight for the 40 per cent and

original bill, asking that the pro

Is there any injustice in thia re-
quest? Did the Federal government

lands under the original grant act?
Oregon did expect something from
the original grant, so why should
■he not expect it now? It seems
that there ia little room for argu-
ment as to the real merits of the
issue, but it is necessary to present
the facts to those who should know.

Made a Perfect Scare
The Albany Coast Artillery corpa
made the highest score with the big
guns down at the mouth of the
Columbia, of any corps at the meet.
At a moving target 30x60 feet and
at a distance of 10,000 to 11.000
yards, three shots were fired in one
minute and 63 seconds and every
shot hit the center of the target. Il
is doubtful if any amateur artillery
men in the United States can equal
this score
