Croker is evidently going to play the

with" his countrymen,, but in -adversity,
he prefers to be beyond the sea s But
Croker's power is .evidently, broken In

will ever. become as powerful sf he has

STATE LAND BOARD'S LOANS.
Salem real estate values are receive
Ing some serious blows at the hands of
a j few designing; politicians who art
seeking to defeat for renominaUon the
members of the State Land ' Boar J.
which lis, composed of the , Governor,
Secretary- of State. - and Treasurer.
The Bordmade V toan on a 33-acre
tract of land nedr the Fair Grounds,
for $2300. the borrower paying off at

Interest, ' Politicians are now seeking
to make capital out of this loan, claim
ing that the land is Insufficient secur-1
Ity for the loan. Property In that
it Vic- 1
inity is selling for as high as $150 .' at
. . ... -
acr, and many are asking $200 for
their land. When the fact is consid
ered that good farming land any place
on the Howell and Salem prairies, out
ten or fifteen miles from Salem, is held
frorn S9 to t"& an acre,' does It not ap
pear that property almost within the
shadow of the Capitol ought to ' be
worth that much? v ' . ; . ',
There Is not a town In Oregon so
dead that land similarly situated as
this tract in question is not worth fvv'r
llOd an acre, butthese politicians are
ad-crtislng all over the stats- that land
lb the immediate vicinity of .Salem Is
worthless. Kv ' " ' '

none who knew the earnestness and
