Strath advances first high assessment of railroads in Oregon
A detailed account describes Mr Strath using Interstate Commerce Commission reports to justify unprecedented railroad property assessments in Umatilla County. He built foundations from volumes of data to set value by earning capacity and owner value, inspiring officials to follow suit across Eastern Oregon. His work, already drawing interest from Washington and Oregon assessors, aims to standardize higher valuations and serve as a practical handbook for future tax assessments.

The American domain and its rapid disappearance
A historical critique notes that the United States has appropriated or sold vast public lands, now approaching 475 million acres, with only about 500 million acres left in government ownership. It argues ongoing transfers threaten the era of free homesteading and questions the public domain policy, citing figures on acquisitions, cessions, and homestead filings since 1862. The piece warns that future private ownership could erase the republic’s frontier heritage.

Canada Rejects Our Laws on Public Lands Homesteads
Residents discuss a 4 month escape to pay 1.25 per acre for title calling a committed homestead a feature of land policy. A Canada-US study notes 26,000 Americans moved north last year seeking land, risking loss of the prairie avenue for settling families as tithe rights rise. The piece warns land hunger may end this escape from crowded towns within months unless drastic action is taken.
