Phop.e Main 81. DISPOSAL OF RAILROAD LANDS The Hertford Mail discusses the railroad land problem in a-very sensible, practical way. Its plan for disposing of this grant follows: "Under the decision of the supreme court concerning the O. & C. railroad lands, congress will have power to legislate concerning the disposition of the same. This situation is one of much interest to the people of southern Oregon. Up to the present time about the only persons heard from are those who want to get a $4000 tract of tim ber land for $400, and the ordinary hunker who thinks only of the question of taxes. "Both of these interests are of far less importance than the manner of the disposition of these lands will have upon, iha mininfr mill istrv of Jackson and Josephine counties. Most of the mineral lands of these two counties are Within the limits of the grant, a large part of which has been by the government deeded to the railroad company. This condition has been the greatest impediment to mining development during the past twenty years. "If one will look at a township map and mark each odd numbered section as railroad land, as the grant provides, it will be seen that each even-numbered section is joined on each side by a railroad section. "Under these circumstances the tracing and explora tion of mineral veins and deposits is impractical, because no sensible man will spend his money in that work when he knows that if the development runs into the odd-numbered section it will not be possible to secure the title from the railroad company. "There is no plan that could more quickly and surely kill the development of a mining country than the private ownership of each alternate section. It is too ebvious to need further comment. "When the disposition of these lands is before congress southern Oregon should make her desires known, and these should be based upon the future welfare of this county and not upon the present demands of the locators, grabers and tax maniacs. "There is no one policy that is adapted to all the lands. Each county or district should be dealt with according to the resources and nature oi the lands. In southern Oregon the principal question should be the restoration of the: title of the lands in the mineral districts to the govern-j incut, so that same would be open to the prospector, ex-j plorer and miner for all time to come. "If the mineral lands are in the timbered section pro vision should be made for the sale of the timber, while the j title to the land would remain in the government and be open to the prospector. "A commission should be provided to segregate and map out the mineral districts, and when this is done the' government should purchase these lands, as that is thc only means by which the same can be thrown open to the prospostor and miner." j Portland businessmen have petitioned their city council to allow dancing in hotel dining rooms, asserting that without it the city was losing much tourist trade. We can't believe it ; dancing is so common in dining rooms that a city where it isn't permitted ought to be enough of, a curiosity to attract tourists. SQUARE DEAL IN UNIONISM William A. Major, president Housesmiths and Struct ural Iron Workers of New York and Vicinity (Incorpor ated), has an idea. He draws attention to "the fact that in recent years there has been developing within certain labor organizations a pronounced sentiment and spirit in favor of a mutually square deal" this square deal taking the shape ot incorporation under state laws, resulting in "an equal share of responsibility with employers." In how many instances this sentiment has up to the present time been embodied in action is not stated, but what is particularly pleasing in Mr. Major's statement is the spirit that he himself manifests in the language he uses. It is "with a feeling of great pride," he' says, that he calls attention to the fact that "by no means all" labor unions are legally irresponsible, and he declares that "a large number" have assumed full responsibility "in their earnest and sincere endeavor to uplift not only their trade but the individual worker." If this spirit should become general among labor: union leaders, much more will have been accomplished j than what is directly involved in the mere fact of in corporation. Men who talk like this and whose acts square with their talk cannot possibly be guilty, in time of controversy, of the kind of conduct which has done so much to discredit the cause of union labor and has interfered so profoundly with improvement in the relations between labor and, capital. A sense of responsibility exerts a wonderful restrain ing influence and marvelously stimulates judgment. THE TREE .. , . PRI7F IVinilN -iS1 II IIII.L IIIUI1UIU 111 E Chairman Albert Says Horde of Winsome Youngsters Will Be Contestants The greatest blessing of nature is a tree. It may seem not only difficult, but somewhat unwise, to single out any one of the many attributes of this vast kingdom wherein we are wandering these days, and call it the best or the greatest. But again.-let it be reneated that, thp orp-nrpef hlpscino- of nature is a tree. Stand on the deck of some ship, with nothing around but water and sky, and still one has com pany, and still one has food for high thoughts, and still one is conscious of blessings far beyond human meriting. Scale the dizzy height of the Alps and come at last to a place whence all that can be seen is cloud and snow and sky, and the same is true of that place. Descend into the man-made caverns of the earth, and in the dim glare of the smoking lamps notice the formation of the walls around and feel the srtange.and pleasant coolness of the subterranean air, and almost a new world of wonder and beauty is opened to the beholder. But go out into the desert, where your only companion is sand, and though you have the sky and its ever present' inspiration, and though you have the same vastness which surrounded .you on the sea you feel the lack of a some thing; the need of a something; the intense longing for a something and when you stop to think, you realize that that something is a tree, and when you have come to that realization, you have made known to yourself the greatest thing in nature. Following the general baby pnrnde given in connection with the Cherry fair, the throngs that line the curbing this year, will be given nn opportunity to view n special pnrnde ot the prize winners. This is a new idea which with numerous other features was de emed upon by the committee 111 charge of which Joseph II. Albeit is chairman, at a meeting in the public library last night. Towns nil over the state will bo ask ed to send thei rbubies and already ed to send their babies and already have come in from ncniliy valley town? and the adjacent country side. Salem's oriental and foreign districts are to be represented, the children of the Chinese, Japanese mid other na tionalities to take part garbed in their picturesque native costumes. The little picaninnies will likewise be given u place of importance in the parade, and it is expected that these features will be among the most interesting and ap preciated. The pnrnde will start promptly nt 10 o'clock Friday morning, and it is desired that nil Salem residents make their entries Thursday as most of the out-of-town people will require the at tention of the entry clerks Friday morning. The entry books will be opened at the band stand in Willson avenue on Thursday nfternoon, July 1, nt 1 o'clock, and remain open until 5 On Friday morning, July 2, entries can be innde at the registration booths on the state, capitol grounds from 8:30 to 9:H0.
