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

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
