SUCCESS ON BLUE RIVER
MINING DEVELOPMENT SOW FAIRLY
IN PROGRESS THERE.
First Stamp Mill Gets Better Results
Than "Were Expected and Has
Kept at Work.
EUGENE, Or., Feb. 23. Interest In the
Blue River mining district is Increasing
every day, and the indications are that
the coming season will show extensive de
velopment in several mines, as well as a
great amount of prospecting. There Is
snow enough on the hills now to make
prospecting Impracticable, et there have
been- several men there all winter looking
for good ledges. Many prospectors are
waiting for the snow to disappear, when
they will go in for the summer.
The principal cause of the unusual In-
negative was klr. Schoch. He devoted
most of his time to rebuttal, and tore up
the opponent's arguments, showing that
there was no conspiracy of the Cape Town
Dutch, and he referred to the attitude of
England toward the Jameson raid. Mr.
Slewert closed the debate for the xtfflrma
tlve. The "Willamette team put up a weak ar
gument and wandered from the question,
while the Pacific team put up a strong
argument right to the question. The de
cision was unanimous in favor of Pacific
University.
After the debate a reception to the de
baters, judges and faculty was given by

The railroad prospects of Klamath Falls

now giving encouragement to this part
of the country. Their agent Is on his way
to Alturas, CaL, to talk railroad to those
people and. assure them that tho line will
be pushed to that point at once. Alturas
is only 00 miles from Lakevlew, and Klam
ath Falls is 115. If they come on to Al
turas and come no further they will hold
the trade of this country against the
Klamath Falls road. But the people here
believe that they will be compelled to push
on through to Lakevlew, as the resources
of this country will induce some road to

CORVALLIS, Or., Feb. 23. The total
enrollment at the Oregon Agricultural
College Is now 401, as follows: Seniors,
85; juniors, 40; sophomores, 82; freshmen,

now Functions of Different Depart
ments -at Washington Overlap
-Priest River Forest Reserve.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. In tho Olym-.
pic Reserve matter the Geological Survey
lias again blocked progress by a report
setting forth that certain of the lands
proposed for exclusion are not valuable
for agricultural purposes. The reason
for this statement Is that the alleged
oost of clearing timbered lands 1s $100
per acre. If It is a Tact that It costs
$100 per acre to reclaim these lands, then.
In the opinion of -the Geological Survey,
they are not suitable for farming pur
poses for the simple reason that such
lands, when cleared, are not worth $100
per acre.
Those familiar with clearing timbered
lands admit that It would cost $100 and
$200, for that matter, to clear an acre
provided the work was done In the most
expensive manner known to pioneers.
With less 'expensive methods, however.
It is claimed the land could he cleared
at a. cost that would warrant its use for
agricultural purposes.
Buf this is only one tiny feature of the
troubles that seem to be brewing between
the Department of the Interior and the
Agricultural Department as regards for
ests In general. The former department
has always looked after the land of the
country but the latter while looking after
what grows on the land seems to get over
the lino when it comes to forests. At
least, the opinion prevails in some of the
Interior Department offices that the Ag
ricultural Department Is inclined to go be-
'yond its Jurisdiction. Tho Forestry Di
vision of the Department of Agriculture
makes a specialty of forests and has ac
cumulated much knowledge regarding the
growth and preservation of trees in the
forests. This division seems to be grow
ing apace itself and its ambitious to as
sume complete and entire control. And
yet the Interior Department attends to
tho practical administration of forest
protection work while the Agricultural
Department sends out a number of pro
fessors and 'young men to study up on
forests and their protection and preser
vation. The Geological Survey, which ia
under the Department of the Interior,
also takes a hand in deciding what lands
are useful for a settler and a farmer and
what are mineral lands.
Indeed, if the various departments in I
which scientists predominate had their
way, the forest-reserve limits would re
main as President Cleveland placed them,
until they had sufficient time and suffi
cient appropriations to carefully survey
every township and section and decide
just what tracts are suitable for forest
reservation purposes, and what would do
for the farmer.
But in cases like the Olympic Reserve,
where the continuation of the forest-reserve
limits means practical confiscation
of property rights, there Is a disposition
to brush aside scientific theories ana pro
vide immediately for the settler and the
counties Interested in warding off bank
ruptcy. And yet, with the County Commissioners
of Clallam and Jefferson Counties, In the
State of Washington, assuring the Inte
rior Department that the continuance of
the present forest-reserve limits means
practical bankruptcy, the whole subject
Is hung up until the General Land Office
xind the Geological Survey can decide
whether a piece of land or certain pieces
of land are more valuable for agricultural
purposes than for timber lands.
Reason for Caution.
It is intimated that one reason why Sec
retary Hitchcock .proceeds with such ex
treme caution In all matters of this na
ture Is the fact that he and. his depart
ment has been made the -victim of certain
frauds.
It is certain, at the same time, that there
are many interested parties with an
abundance of scrip on hand waiting for
an opportunity to secure lands that may
be excluded from forest reserves. In or
der to protect settlers against scrlpowners,
an attempt has been made to prevent scrip
filing for three months after the lands
have been thrown open, thus giving the
settler the first right and chahce to se
cure a hbrae. This plan was suggested by
County officials in Clallam County, and
was Indorsed by Senator Foster. Never
theless, It may turn out that it is Illegal
to give settlers or any other class per
ferred rlghtB over scripholders.
Priest River Reserve.
A large number of petitions have been
received by the Department of the In
terior both for the exclusion of the Priest
River Valley from the Trlest River For
est Reserve and against the further ex
tension of that reserve.
The Spokane Chamber of Commerce and
other commercial bodies, together with
the Great Northern Railway Interests,
have manifested a desire to prevent the
'further extension of the reserve, and also
In some Instances against allowing the
Priest River Vallpy to remalrfMnsIde the
reserve limits. The argument is made
that settlers demand the lands in ques
tion, particularly the valley lands.
By a ruling of the Secretary 6t the In
terior, which has just been made, it Is
probable the proposed extensions to this
reserve will not be made, at least for the
present
There Is a tendency "here, however, to
apply theories to all forest lands, with a
view to protecting the water supply, hold
ing the snow In the mountains for the
dry seasons, etc. While these theories are
considered valid and pertinent, yet It Is
felt that the Interests of the settler should
not entirely be overlooked.

Stntement of Their Character ana
Prospect for Opening Reservation.
Harry Humphrey, special agent of the
Department of the Interior having charge
of the allotment of Indian lands on the
north half of the Colville Indian Reser
vation, gave the Spokane SPokesman-Re-Trfew
the following Information about the
prospective opening of the reservation:
"Indian Agent Albert M. Anderson, re
cently returned from Washington, is con
fident that the law will "be so amended
as to permit the reservation to be opened
soon after the proclamation by the Presi
dent. I expect that the order will be is
sued Inside of GO days, and from all the
Information I can get, the land plats will
do In the local offices and the reservation
open not later than June 1.
"The land In the north half of the reser
vation which Is to be affected by tho
opening order consists of 1,500,000 acres,
beginning on a base line on the Columbia
River and stretching east and west to the
north and south boundary lines. Of this
land It has been estimated 300,0(0 acres is
agricultural land, but I believe the
lamnimt to b a erreat deal less.
"Of this land principally the Indians I
chose and had allotted to them 54,800
acres, leaving a -total of l,446,TOO acres to
be thrdwn open In all, or 246,000 acres of
agricultural kind left for the rush of set
tlers, provided the estimates are correct,
which I question. The land chosen by
.the Indians i scattered over the entire
reservation, but lies principally along Ket
tle River, from Marcus up to the Inter
national Boundary. They took in an en
tirety all of two townships on the east
and north sides of Kettle River, all the
land In the San Poll and Curlew Valleys
and a lot of land on the west side of Cur
lew Lake.
"In conclusion, I would say the lands
on the Colvillo Reservation have been
largely overestimated, and the Indians
have a majority of the best, most of the
good land remaining being in Okanogan
County."
