""" THE DUNBAR COMPANY. Tho Dunbar Company has been upon the Ljeuum platform for thirteen years nnd tins toured many times ncrosn Amertcu. u all they have trav eled iuoro,tti)in :to0,000 miles, equal to twclvo times iiroiiml tlio world. They liavo given more than 2,000 concerts. Thero is scarcely a largo coureo In tho United States that has not had UiIh company ntouo time or another. Bovcn-ty-flvo per cent of their dates aro re turn dates, Tho Dunbar Company's vocal quartet work represent but ono portion of tho IF the federal supremo court upholds the decision Judco Wolvcrton. ns seems probable, tho Oresion California rnialroad grant will revert to tho government, and it is up to the Oregon delegation in congress to see to it that tho property is not tied up in non-taxpnying for est reserves, but that the state receives tho property to sell to actual developers. This land was originally given to the railroad in order to promote tho development ot the state. The railroad failed to comply with tho conditions agreed upon, and held the property for speculative purposes. "It avoided pay ment of taxes for almost the entire period of ownership through keeping the property unsurveyed, and hence off the assessment rolls. Failure of tho railroad to comply with its agreement makes possible the use of the land for its original purpose the development of Oregon. This can best be accom plished by turning the title over to the state, to sell at actual valuation, the proceeds to be used in development of the counties containing the property, either by the state or by the counties themselves. This could be accomplished in several ways to the great advantage of the taxpayers and for tho upbuilding of the territory. For instance, the laud could be usell as a perma nent endowment for the state university, for the state Agricultural college and for the school fund, the money derived from the sale to bo invested in four per cent county or state securities issued for highway building, railroad construction and other development projects. Such a plan would relieve the taxpayers by furnishing ample funds for the schools, upbuild the latter by making them among the richest endowed in the country, and tit the same time furnish tho people cheap money to carry out de velopment schemes that will enhance the value of isolated regions, increase the population and make possible devel opment of natural resources. The O. & O. land grant comprises 2,074,1 Gl acres, esti mated worth from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000. Much of it is valuable timber land other mineral and agricultural land. Some is worthless except for grazing purposes, but it will average better than $15 an acre. The following fig ures show the acreage in the various counties and tho amount of taxation the counties arc losing this year through the railroad's refusal to pay taxes: PREPARE DISPLAYS FOREXPOSITIONFROM SOUTHERN OREGON Counties Acres nenton n,W-.l wiucKtiinuiS . io Columbia - - 17.C7D Coos - . .... 106,563 Douglas - C16.S4:t Jackson ...... 41.731 Josephine . ............-.... -....167, ISl Klamath 3,0 1 5 299,606 , 15,906 , 61,966 , 30,256 9.047 , 37.018 . 29.7U , 17,932 28,683 VJ.tXJIWl !'

Total - 2.07 4.161 J466.872.S0 It is evident that these western Oregon counties arc the sufferers by the litigation over the land grant, and they will suffer still more if the lands are permitted to bo grabbed by the government and either sold and the pro ceeds kept outside the state or placed in uon-taxpaying reserves, G5 per cent of whoso receipts go out of the country. These lands are tho so-called "irarrinian preserves," held up by the railroad for the benefit of future genera tions of railroad speculators. It would bo the irony of fate to use the lands to build a rival railroad to open up the country and break the railroad's monopoly but it would be simple justice. Jackson county's 4-11,791 acres -would yield from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000, enough to hard-surface all our main roads and in addition construct and equip a railroad to tho sea. Josephine's 1G7,!81 acres would furnish $2,000,000 cap ital to open up uow sections, run branch railroads to min ing regions and build a sceuic highway down the Rogue. Douglas county's ()1G,0(K) acres would yield from $8,000,000 to $12,000,000, a fund ample to network the county with modern highways and build a railroad to Coos Bay- Other counties allcctcu would protit similarly, .an era of development unprecedented in the history of the north west would follow. The population would increase by leaps and bounds and Oregon become the leader in the pro cession of material progress instead of the laggard she now is. The occasion offers opportunity for real constructive statesmanship. , I FOR 11 ACRE TRACT K.
