McDonald, of Eugene, is in the city today. MHUSKBMHaVMsVaVHsnnMMK Suit Sale .. . HI Pay $2.50 Per Acre For Land When State Treasurer Kay this morning fixed his signature of appro val to the draft of a resolution, which has been heretofore agreed upon by the governor and Secretary of State Olcott, it operated as an acceptance of the proposal of A. C. Bhaw, made to the board some time ago, wherein, upon the payment of the minimum price of $2.50 per acre by his clients to the state, the state will surrender quit claim title to approximately 20,000 acres of land embraced in the 60,000 acro group of lands involved in the cel ebrated Benson-Hydo land fraud opera tions. This will mean the augmenta tion of the state school fund principal to the amount of 50,000 and is one of the direct results of the suit brought by the stato land board for the can cellation of tho deeds to the lands in volved in the Benson-Hyde transac tions. The suit to cancel the Benson-Hyde deeds to approximately 60,000 acres of state school lands located within the boundaries of the Cascade forest re serve in Linn and Marion counties, was brought by tho stato, nt the in stance of Governor West, after Ben son nnd Hydo had been convicted of fraud in the manner of securing pos session of the lunds nnd the case is Btill pending in the courts. A. C. Shaw, who represents holdings of lands em braced in tho Benson-Hyde peculations amounting to about liiyiUO acres nnd is made a jinrty defendant in the suit for cnncellution of deedR, offered to compromise with the stato land board by agreeing to pay $2.50 per aero ns his clients arc innocent purchasers, in exchange for a quit-claim deed from the stuto, and the acceptance of his of fer on the purt of the land board car ries with it the condition that Shaw must prove to the satisfaction of the board and tho department of the in terior thut his clients are innocent pur chasers. , Tho acceptance of Shaw 'a proposal iiIko operates to eliminate his holdings siimll as most of the business for the text of the resolution, which is n vir tunl acceptance of Shuw's proposal, rends: "It is the Bense of the board that innocent purchasers und holders in good faith of titles to lands selected in lieu of said base binds, shall be en titled to confirmatory deeds upon such showing being made to the bonrd with in ninety days, and payment of $2.50 per acre to tho state. Provided, how ever, that ench case shall be first, sub mitted by the board to tho interior de partment for approvnl. Books Threatens to Bring Suit Arthur Berridge, the Portland expert accountant who went over the books of the Mnrion county officers and pre sented a bill for $1523.11 for the job, did not appear before the county eourt at ita regular session yesterday, as he announced was bin intention when he left this city after bis bill had been refused by the county court. Insur ance Commissioner Ferguson approved the original bill for $1523.11 but stat ed informally that he thought the bill should be cut in half. The county eourt was even more conservative and offer ed to Bottle with Berridge for $350. This aum Berridge refused to accept and wanted the county court to pay him $500 on acount while the matter was pending settlement. The county court refused to comply with Mr. Ber ridge 's request. Berridge left this city with the' un official statement that he would com mence suit against the county to col lect the full amount. The county court, while not anxious to become entangled in a lawsuit, was willing to contest the claim with Mr. Berridgo in order that tho matter of the constitutionality of the law might be. tested. The county court of this county doubts the right of the stato to contract bills to be paid by tho county and moreover views with alarm any precedent which would per mit such action, because the court be lieves thut if the right is admitted in a small amount there is no limit to the obligations that might bo piled up by the state. No word was received yes terday from Mr. Berridgo explaining his absence, but his presence would not have changed the opinion of the coun ty court nor caused them to tuke ony other than their originul stund. Movement to Divide Distric 72 and 27 Into Three Districts Not Favored Ask Legislature to Order Publication Becaue the "Oregon blue book." and official publication which has been compiled and issued by the secretary of state and has treated such a great de mand from all public sources, "is al most invaluable as a supplementary text book on the civil government of the state and fosters a soirit of Da- triotism and loyalty," Secretary of State Olcott will roeomraend to the coming legislature that some provision De made tor compiling and issuing a laio-io Diue dook that shall "ful v set forth the official interests of the stato with such additional information as may be of greatest assistance to those for whom it is chiefly intended." secretary uieott calls attention to the original publication of the blue book, which was issued in 1811 in re sponse to an insistent demand for a work of such character and in harmony wits the custom of many other states, and particularly to the issuo of 1913 14, which was a very complete direc tory, not only of all state, district and county officials, institutions, depart ments, commissions, etc., but contained a wealth of information of more than ordinary interest nnd value to tho gen eral public that a second edition of the booklet wan necessary to supply the demand. It was very popular with teachers, students, city, county and state offi cials, and many other patrons of the variouB libraries of the state, and it was in great demand as a dependable handbook on all governmental func tions. "Requests for copies of it came in from nil parts of the state und it became evident that the Oregon blue book was regarded ns a reliable source of important and valuable information, say Secretary Olcott. The Inst ses sion of the legislature neglected to provide funds for the issue of tho book and Secretary Olcott got it out with the aid of the funds and the force of emitloves of his own deniirtment-. but he asiks the legislature to niuko such 'provision that the publication of the blue hook may be continued.

A spirited remon strance lias beeu filed ugainst. the divi sion of the present district 72 and the controversy promises to win warm be fore final settlement is arrived at. The petition for the erewtioii of the new district bears the signatures of H.

Tho remonstrance to the proposed new district is signed by W'm. S.

That, it would cause an increase In tales, as a BpocinI tax would have to be levied in the old district to maintain a six-months school. That the district (72) aa now bounded and school house located affords the great est accommodation to the greatest num ber of scholars in the district," nnd they pi ay for the maintaining of the boundaries of the district as they now exist. The petitioners for tho division of tho old districts and the creation of the. new base their support of the petition upon the contention that under the present arrangement their children have to travel from 2'd to 3 miles to attend school, while in the Jefferson district the petitions claim that their children have to travel five miles to attend school. They am willing to as sume tho expense of the erection of a new school house for the new district and bear such other burdens of expense of mnintniiiing the district wiiih would devolve upon them under the chanue, If allowed by the court.
