BEST CHAIRMAN III
Wahington, D. C, November 5.
A splendid tribute to the legislative
Industry and ability of Congressman
N. J. Sinnott of Oregon was paid him
on the floor of the House by Con
gressman Scott Ferris of Oklahoma
when he stated that Sinnott was the
best chairman that the Committee on
Public Lands had ever had. .
The tribute, which was warmly ap
plauded was all the more gracious
and forceful on account of the fact
that Congressman Ferris had him
self been chairman of this big Com
mittee for several years prior to the
present session of Congress. He Is
Chairman of the National Congress
ional Democratic Committee at the
present time, as well as ranking mi
nority member of the Public Lands
Committee. The compliment to the
Oregon member was made during re
marks by the Oklahoma Congress
man on the Mineral Land Leasing
Bill now being considered by the
House; and appears in the Congress
ional Record as follows:
"The gentleman from Oregon (Mr.
Sinnott) is entitled to the very great
est credit. He spent nights and
nights and nights, and tedious nights
they were in the most thorough In
vestigation In connection with this
bill. The gentleman has always
been active on the Committee, but
this year he has assumed the respon
sibility of the chairmanship with all
the term Implies, and Is really the
best chairman the committee has ever
had."
The Mineral Land Leasing Bill
which Is now before the House of
Representatives and In charge of "the
gentleman from Oregon" Is one of the
most Important bills before the pres
ent Congress. It -provides In place
of the present more or lesB archaic
mining laws In regard to coal, gas,
oil, oil shale, phosphates and sodium,
for a system ot leasing this character
of mineral lands now remaining In
the public domain to those who will
develop them and pay a royalty to
the United States for this privilege.
The administration of the law is left
largely In the hands of the Secretary
of the Interior and he Is emnowered
to fix the amount of this royalty, pro-i
vlded It Is not less than one-eighth
of the value of the oil produced by
the lessor of a piece of mineral land.
The U. S. Director 'of Mines has
brought out the fact that the oil be
ing produced in this country Is not
keeping up with our present demands
for petroleum and gasoline and that
we are now Importing some from
Mexico and elsewhere. He also
brings out that the shortage Is likely
to Increase because our demand for
gasoline Is Increasing rapidly. This
present bill is designed to encourage
the opening up of our undeveloped
oil lands and at the same time guard
against the waste hitherto connected
with oil development and to safe
guard the Interests ot the government
and the American people as a whole.
Secretary Lane In writing to Chair
man Sinnott regarding the bill S.
2776 as it came over from the Senate
said that In his opinion It was on the
whole the best leasing bill that had
passed either House ot Congress.
The Loyal Daughters class of the
Christian Sunday School will hold a

AUTOCRAT
ING OVER STAMP SALE
Oregon Elks have completed or
ganization of a statew.de movement
to dispose of Oregon's quota ot War
Savings Stamps, Treasury Certifi
cates, Thritt Stamps and other Gov
ernment securities. although no
roimal drive is to be made, every
loyal citizen will be urged to pur
chase to the limit of Government se
curities. In every county an organization of
Elks and other prominent citizens
has been euected to handle the work
ot the campaign. But two months
remain for the disposal of the work,
and as a result the people ot Oregon
w.li be urged to "buy now to the
limit."
The campaign being waged to dis
pose ot these Government securities
uus two distinct angles. The Elks
assumed the responsibility for the
success ot the campaign, first to re
tain Oregon's place as a state which
has always answered the requests for
financial assistance made by the Gov
ernment, and second, because in the
sale of these securities is recognized
an opportunity to preach the lesson
ot thrift which has been to some de
gree lost sight of during the last few
months.
"Thrift," said Harry G. Allen,
President ot the Oregon State Elks
Association, "is an important factor
It the people are to successfully com
bat the high cost of living. If the
people of Oregon will respond to our
appeal and invest to the very limit in
Government securities, such as War
Savings Certificates, they will find
that they have adopted the real meas
ure of abridging the high cost ot liv
ing." Five thousand limit members,
men and women, who will invest thu
limit allowed by the Government,
$1000 maturity value, is the goal set
by the Oregon Elks. A determined
effort will be made to obtain this
quota of limit members, which to
gether with the purchases of small
amounts expected from people of the
state, will bring success to the cam
paign. Fritsch is Sole Owner of

J. W. Fitsch, the Philadelphia
Diamond Grid Battery man, is now

Sheriff Sliutt Resigns.
County court is in session this
week. Among other things coming
up for consideration, is the resigna
tion of E. M. Shutt, who has served
as sheriff of Morrow county since last j tendered his resignation which is to
January. Mr. Shutt gives as his take effect as soon as he can be re
reason for quitting the office, insuf-, lieved, probably about December 1.
flcient Day for the services rendered : Mr- Cummins has purchased a home
and the duties required. In other,'11
words the salary of the office does not
measure up to the present day high
cost of living and Mr. Shutt believes
he can do better financially in other
lines of endeavor. Also, at the time
of his election the war was still on,
and he had anticipated considerable
activity on the part of the I. W. W
and pro-Germans. The coming of
peace brought the finish of that men
ace, and routine office work does not
hold strongly to the red-blooded
sheriff, who likes to get out after the
criminally Inclined. Tho court has
not yet appointed Mr. Shutt's suc
cessor. REWARD.

GET AWAY FROM BIG
FUEL BILLS.
A representative ot the Izard Gas
Heating Company ot Portland is giv
ing daily demonstrations ot what this
wonderful automatic gas generator
will do, at the Peoples Hardware
store In this city. The Izard Gas
Generator Is a simple contrivance
w hich can be attached to a cook stove
or range ot any size, the fire Is easily
started, controlled to any degree of
even heat and there are no ashes, sut
or disagreeable smoke. The entire
attachment is tho most simple of Its
kind on the market and is found in
general use throughout many sections
of the Northwest aud especially In tho
Willamette Valley. The fuel used Is
coal oil, which Is burned in the form
of gas. A little oil goes a long ways
in this burner and as a result the fuel
bill is reduced to a minimum. (Jo
