P" ft33k ii i i m.vt vitf fia CHAMBERLAIN'S S KNATOIt CIIAM13I0RLAIN has introduced in tlics sen ate a hill Tor the disposal of Hie lands in the O. & C. lsiiicl grant t lint i.s hy far tho most equilahle and best solution of (he problem ,ye( offered the most satisfactory for (he people of (he region affected. The hill eliminates speculation, recognizes (he right of (he stale, the land grant counties and the national treas ury to share in the proceeds from sales of timber. Jt opens the mineral and agricultural lands for entry and provides for the sale of the timher. Following the decision of the federal courts, (he hill recognizes the interest of the Southern Pacific in the lands at $2.50 an acre and no more. An in the granting act of 18(J(), congress was authorized to amend, alter or repeal the act making the grant, the hill utilizes this authority to amend. The bill provides that title to the laud shall he vested again in the United States. The land is divided into three classes: First, mineral, comprising all tracts "chiefly val uable for minerals"; second, timber lands, those that are non-mineral having a growth of timber amounting to a million feet to a quarter section a quarter section being defined as any four contiguous forty-acre tracts or any number of smaller legal subdivisions together containing 160 acres, to enable all heavily timbered land to be classi fied as "timber land"; (bird, agricultural land, compris ing all not classified as mineral or timber. iMineral lands are to be open to exploration and entry upon passage of (he act. Timber lands are not to be dis posed of until the timber is removed, at, which time they will automatically become agricultural land. Agricul tural lands are made subject to entry at local land offices .under the homestead laws, no patent issuing until land litis been resided upon and cultivated for five years and until (he settler has paid 2.00 an acre, f0 cents at appli cation and $2 at proof, no entry (o exceed 1(i() acres. Ap plication for entry cannot be made until ninety days after 'passage of (he bill, but during this ninety-day period actual settlers on the land December 1, li)lf), shall have a preferred right to enter the lands upon which they have been residing, unless it is classifiable as timber land. The timber upon the land may be sold for cash, under sealed bids, upon notice given by the commissioner of (he general land office, as soon after the passage of the act as possible, sales to be made according to the smallest legal subdivision. Purchasers .receive patents Hiei'efor, in which title to tho land is expressly reserved. The timber can be cut and removed at any (hue within discretion of (he purchaser, who controls the land meanwhile. All money received from sale.", of either land or limber go into (he United States treasury in a special fund desig nated "The Oregon and California Land (Irant Fund," to be disposed of as follews: For each acre within the grant, (he railroad is to be paid ,$2.00 an acre. Forlv per cent of the balance is to be paid the statu of Oregon for the estab lishment and support of public schools; -10 per cent shall be paid to the respective counties in which (he land is situ ated for the construe! ion of roads, highways, bridges and such olhcr public purposes as (he county authorities may dire.ct; and (he remaining 20 per centum goes to the na tional treasury. The bill provides a method whereby agricultural land may reach the hands of the actual settler, but it docs not immediately place the land on the tax roll as a speculative plan would. It means far more for the development of (he country, however, and that, rather than locking up our resources for speculative profit, is what Oregon vitally needs.
