""" 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

Tho Dunbar Company's vocal quartet

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:

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. ,
