THE MORNING- OBEGOjSlAff, , .TUESDAY, ;DEGEMBER 16,. 1902: It NOT FOR SEATTLE She Must Gel On .Without the Transports. ROOT WILL MOT LET COHTRACT Secretary Tells "WHklHgrton Delega tion laCoHsrres He Will Xot Re advertliie for Bids, TVor Will He Sell Transports OHtright. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Dec. IS. Without saying so in 50 many -words. Secretary Root- today gave Senator Foster and Representative Jones to -understand that he does not Intend to accept the bid of the Boston Steamship Company, for carrying troops and sup plies to the Philippines, but ttIH for the next six months, at least; continue the transport service from San Francisco. The Secretary says the improvements made at can Francisco in the -way ot barracks, freight depots, hospitals, etc., cost 5750.000. and it would not be justifiable. In his opinion, to duplicate these accommoda tions on Puget Sound, particularly as the bids recently called for cover only about seven months' time. Furthermore, he stated flatly that Jie would not entertain the idea of sending troops from any North Pacific port at this time. While admitting that the Bos ton Steamship Company Is a reliable Arm, that would live up to the terms of Its agreement, the Secretary said he would not guarantee them or any other com pany 73 per cent of the Government's business, as stfpulated In their bid. Senator .Fester and Mr. Jones told the Secretary the Boston Steamship Company ha 3 submitted a bid In good falih on the call iFsucd by the department, assuming that soma award was to be made, and, 'after tha submission of their proposition to take the Government transportation business at an exceptionally low rate, lower than the present cost to the Gov ernment, 11 was but fair that their offer should be accepted. They explained that the extremely low rate could only be fulfilled on the condition that the com pany got a large part of the Government business, and would prove a losing in vestment on a smal scale. They told the Secretary there was an abundance of wharfage and warehouses at the disposal of the Boston Company -at Tacoma and Seattle, and that there would be no diffi culty in handling all Government-business from those ports. The Secretary showed great familiarity with commercial conditions on Puget Sound, but still contended that, as. a busi ness proposition, it would be unwise to make a change at this time. He said he would not readvertlse for other' bids, nor would he, under any circumstances, sell the transports unless some provision was included in the contract whereby the Gov ernment could 4uy them in again at any future time at the price paid hy their purchasers. No decision- will be made un til the Secretary has another conference with President Windsor,, of tho Boston Steamship Company;" probably later in the present week. n This decision of the Secretary means that present methods will be continued indefinitely, that what troops and supplies- cannot be carried on transports will go on commercial steamers under special contracts, in. which all Pacific Goast ports will share. FOREST RESERVE FUND. Bills to Raise Jioncy After Hitch cock's Idean. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 15. Bills were Introduced In the Senate ihd "House today along lines recently Indicated by Secretary Hitch cock, providing for the creation of a spe cial fund to be .derived from the sale of timber, stone and other natural products of forest reserves, and from leases for grazing, for hotel sites, etc., to be set aside with a view to making the forest reserves self-sustaining. Senator Perkins, who, introduced the bill In the Senate, says that under present conditions the only resource of forest reserves which may be disposed of for a money consid eration are the timber, mineral and medicinal-springs. During the fiscal year 1901 ?2?,C0CT was derived from the sale of forest reserve timber, while last year the amount fell to ?25,000. There arelabout 1.250,089 sheep now grazing within tho re serve -annhually, and 220,000 horses, and cattle. It is suggested that a charge of 5 cents per head for old sheep, and 1 per head on cattle be Imposed hereafter, which would bring' an annual revenue of about $412,000 or $112,000 in excess of the amount now annually appropriated for the care and protection of reserves. In addition to this, he said, there are many sawmills, hotels, Summer resorts, stores, etc, which would be glad to pay a small sum each year for these privileges. He believes that such aj system would not make the reserve self supporting, but .would do much toward winning the goodvwill and enlisting the-co-operation of the people In the states where reserves exist. Bills were also Introduced in both houses authorizing persons employed In forest reserves and National parks to ar-4-est persons violating laws and regula tions relating to reserves and parks, such person when arrested to be arraigned be fore the nearest United States Marshal. It is shown by the authors of the bills that the present patrol system is Inade quate, because rangers -and supervisors, while they may witness violations of the law, are without authority to bring of fenders Into court, and before the proper authority can be brought on the scene' tne offenders escape The Attorney-General, who favors the proposed bills, com ments on tho present system of reserve protection,, saying: "It is singularly deficient in that It does not provide any efficient means for the arrest of persons violating the laws and regulations governing reserves."
