SUGGESTS HUNTER'S LICENSE Fish and Game Association, at Annual Meeting, Formulates Protective Legislation to Be Presented to Lawmakers Soon. Important legislation resolved upon by the Hah and Game Association: That the sale of same and frame 'fish be prohibited altogether In this state, this to Include ducks. That a bounty be placed upon the aVina of wolves, cougars, wildcats and crews. That the duck season end on Feb ruary 1. That the flsh laws remain as they are, except that the open season for bass be between March 1 and November 1. The establishment of a tax of XI a year for hunters. Oregon's sportsmen gathered together last night at the annual meeting or tne Pish and Game Association and decided upon "what laws they -wished to be passed by the coming session of the Legislature. They elected officers and decided to hold a big barbecue at the time of. the week's shoot to be held by the trapshooters next June. There will then be present many sportsmen from all over the state, and the occasion will be fitting lor a sports men's Jollification. Th'e leading discussion of the evening was concerning the Chinese pheasant and duck situation, and the consensus of the meeting was that the salvation of game In this state Is in an entirely closed sea' son. That means no market whatever, not even for ducks. This was objected to immediately, and at the time overruled, but later In the evening the minority had their say. No one seemed to care about selling Chinese pheasants, and it was readily agreed that these birds could only be preserved by prohibiting their sale. But ducks are another matter. Men like Colonel Dunne and Will liipman, who are known not to sell their ducks, urged that it be al lowed. Their argument was that the maintenance of big feeding establishments down the river was the only way to bring ducks In, and that the most of these establishments were maintained by selling the ducks. They also argued that the public-ought to have an opportunity to buy ducks. But the meeting had already vot ed that all game, including ducks, should not be sold. JTbe other leading piece of suggested rIcgIslatlon Is the enacting of a hunter's license of SI to all comers, the funds raLsed, expected to be $15,000 or $20,000 yearly, to be used for the maintenance of the Game Wardens. Other resolutions were the supporting of the trout hatchery on the Coos River, the placing of bounties on wolves, cou gars and wildcats which destroy the deer, and crows, which cat the pheasant eggs; the shortening of the duck season to Feb ruary 1 to do away with the disastrous Spring shooting, and the change In the tiavs law, making the open season from March 1 to November 1. It was agreed that It would be r crime for small mouthed "bass ever to be introduced Into Oregon waters. Dr. Ncy Churchman said he considered all bass the prizefighters of the fish world, and did not need protec tion of any kind. Eastern Oregon's special laws were left for that section of the country to deal with itself. There was suggested a change In the duck law, prohibiting shooting of birds while on the resting grounds, but as it was found that mat ter had been suggested for personal rea ons, it was laid on the table. The new officers of the Fish and Game Association are: President, H. B. Tron son; vice-president, Thomas Ayer, of Pendleton! secretary. A. EL Gebhardt; treasurer, John Cran. ALL AT SIXES AND SEVENS'.

PLAGES THE BLAME Maxwell Says Congress Allows Timber Land Steals BY NOT REPEALING THE LAW He Says Nation Has Lost $70,000,000 by Failure to Annul Timber and Stone Act Recommendations of Forestry Congress. . "WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The Importance of public forest lands to mining was the theme of tho morning meeting of the con cluding session of the American For estry Congress. A. L. Fellows, consult ing engineer of the Government Rec lamation Service, discussed the devel opment of water power as related to forest reserves. He contended that the forest areas should be reserved by the Government, and should not be left in the unregulated domain of the United States. Dr. David T. Day, Chief of the Division of Mineral Resources of the United States GeologicaHSurvey, contended that It was no longer necessary to give coal, asphalt and other mineral lands In the Govern ment domain practically free to prospec tors, and s&W that the Government should apply some such regulations to govern the sales and leases of these public mln eral lands as are applied to the lands -belonging to Indians. Forestry and Mining. Captain Seth Bullock, supervisor of the Black Hills Forest Reserve, discussed the question "Will the Administration of the Forest Reserves on a Conservative Basis Retard Mining?" To arrive properly at a solution of this question, he said. It would bo necessary first to determine to what extent the mine Is dependent on the forest, and in discussing the matter he referred chiefly tp conditions existing In the Black 31111s Forest Reserve, with wnicn ne is thoroughly familiar. He then pointed out how In the success ful prosecution of the work reaulrcd to make a mine productive and remunera tive to Its owners the use of forest timber is an absolute necessity. It could be truly said that a veritable forest has been "used underground In the mines of the Black Hills during the few years thev have ben In operation. In addition ta the timber used underground in nrecious metal -mln. ing. large quantities. Captain Bullock said, are required on the surface In the erection of ore reduction works and build ings required to house the machinery necessary in conducting the business of the mine. The question of an ample sup ply 01 water, ne said, is an Important one In the business of mining In the Black Hills. Large sums of money have been expended in supplying: the stamp mills and reduction works with water rlved from the mountain streams, the continuous flow of which Is dependent on the preservation and maintenance of tne xorest conditions at their sources. captain Bullock, continuing:, said: It follows then that the forest and stream are dependent each upon the other, and suc cessful mining upon both. The dependency of the mine upon the forest having been established, the question arises, "What is tho best plan for securing a permanent supply of tho necessary Umber? My reply Is, Intel ligent and practical forestry, which cap best be obtained under forest reservation laws administered with business-like meth ods. Onr system of forest reservation, as at present conducted, has been established but a short time, the first public timber sale under It having been made in Novem ber. 1000. Since then, giant strides have been made In protecting the forest from waste, depredation and fire. The present system could bo Improved upon by replanting and reforesting. In successful forestry there should be a seed time as well as a harvest. Denuded areas in and adjoining the reserves suitable to the growing of timber should be then plant ed with trees adapted to climate and soli. This, with a practical administration of the forest reserves, an administration beneficial alike to' the forest and the mine, one that takes Into consideration not only the pres ervation and propagation of tho timber, but the necessities of the mine as well, and gives the latter the most liberal treatment compatible with the permanency of the for est, will not. In my opinion, retard mining, but, on the contrary, materlallyaaslst it. T. J. Grler, superintendent of the Home- stake Mining Company, of South Dakota, made several suggestions as to how forest reserves help mining. He recommended that the -Government "give away for the taking" all the dead and down and Insect ridden timber now sold off from the Gov. crnment lands. Maxwell Scores Congress. A sensational address wae made by George H. Maxwell, the executive chair man of the National Irrigation Congress. who .spoke as delegate from California. He scored Congress for Its refusal to re peal the timber and stone act, and de clared that the House public lands com mittee, the "Western members of which he alleged had "deliberately prevented action" on the measure and thus "allowed the stealing to continue, should be held up to public obloquy and lashed at the cart's tall with the whip of outraged Na tional sentiment. He took Ltsue with a statement in President Roosevelt's address yesterday by wing that If the forests were left to the "West they would continue to be "skinned, but added: "It Is to Eastern sentiment and euch men as Theo dore Roo3evelt and Grover Cleveland that we have forest reserves and protection." Continuing, Mr. Maxwell said: La year, with 1S5.000 acres In the Chippewa Indian reservation, Minnesota, the stumnace alone was sold 'and the Government realtred ? 15.06 an acre, still owning the land. At this rate, Hie Government has lost, under Its dis posal of 3.000,000 acre through the timber and stene act. since President Roosevelt's message In December, 1902. recommending Its repeal. J3S.S78.00. besides losing control of the land. but the majestic timber of Oregon and the Far Northwest, where the timber stealing Is new centered, is wortn double that of Minne sota, and In thec ijco sears the Government has lost $70,000,000. or $3,000,000 a month. Mr. Maxwell made the following recom mendations: How to Stop Timber Steals. Create Immediately Into foreit reserve every acre of public forest land more favorable for timber than mining or afrrlculture; pa the b-ltl consolidating all Government forest work In the Department of Agriculture, as recom menced by the Preident; repeal the timber and stone -act. as recommended by the Pres ident, and thus stop clean tic timber steals; pass the Appalachian bill; plant trees on the groat plains, appropriate as much for forest planting as for forts and navies, and repeal all tariff upon wood, lumber, pulp and forest products. Major F. A. Fenn. supervisor of the forest reserves in Idaho and Montana, denounced the destruction of Umber in the vicinity of mining camps by pros pectors, and said that unless supplement ed by adequate protection against fire, economical use of timber would not sub serve the miners" needs. Many New Laws Recommended. The committee on resolutions pre sented Its report today. The resolu tions recommend: Fall protection and preservation of the forests- adequate protection from Are and reduc tion or the burdrn of taxes on land held for forest production so as to Induce forest con servation: repeal of the timber and stone act and enactment of a substitute authorizing the proper Federal officers to sell timber growing on public lands when the sale shall be for The public welfare; Congressional action confining exchange of lands within a forest reserve for in 1 Would You Like to Have a New Range for 30 Days Absolutely Free?

A BUCK'S RANGE SET UR IN YOUR HOME FREE FOR THIRTY DAY'S TRiAL MANN FRIES BACON Chairman of Interstate Com , mission on the Fire. ACCUSED OF FALSEHOOD Illinois Congressman Brings Him to Book for Saying Members Are Un der Railroad Influence He Refuses to Give Names. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The meeting of the House committee on Interstate com merce today was replete with sensational Incidents. A hearing was being given to persons interested In the Cooper-Quarles bill. E. P. Bacon, of Milwaukee, chair man of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, was first heard. From the moment he took the stand until he left it, Mr. Ba con was subjected to scathing rebuke by Mann of Illinois, for certain statements made by him In a publication known as "Freight," as well as In public addresses. Mr. Mann quoted from a statement al leged to have been made by Mr. Bacon that owing to the opposition of the ma jority of the two committees of Congress, there was no possibility of legislation to further restrict the carriers. "Do you think that was true?" Inquired Mann. Bacon answered that he believed it was true at that time. "I know," angrily retorted Mann, "that It was a libel and a slander. I know It was false and I believe you knew It was false." Bacon calmly replied that he did not want to be classed as a falsifier, which only served to further anger Mann, who said that people who write articles must be held responsible for what they write. Again reading from tho publication re ferred to, Mann said it was stated In Mr. Bacon's address before the St. Louis con vention, "that over three-fourths of the Representatives In Congress owed their presence there to the Influence of the rail roads, and he asked Mr. Bacon If that statement was his. Mr. Bacon answered that his remarks had been extemporane ous, but he had no recollection of making the statement. "1 believe," said Mann, "you thought any man In the country could go out and libel any member of Congress. It fortunately is true that people generally pay no attention to such statements." Mr. Bacon insisted he never made the statement, but admitted saying that four members of the House committee had de clared they would permit no act(on on the part of the committee on any bill until definite action was taken upon the Cooper-Quarles bill. "We want to ascertain who those four men are." demanded Mann. The witness, however, refused to an swer, saying It would not be proper for him to name them. Shackelford of Missouri, then indignant ly inquired: "I ask you. sir. If" Mr. Shackelford was one of them?" "No. sir," was the reply. "You went over to the Elhlns bill," said Mr. Mann, "and because the com mittee won't follow you fast enough, you say we arc under the Influence of the railways." Mr. Bacon denied making the state ment. The witness added that after the revised Elkins bill -was agreed upon he had endeavored to, have It become law Mann then spoke of a banquet given at the Union League Club In Chicago, at which he said an attempt was made to Influence him In favor of the Elkins bill. "I laughed at them." said Mann. "When they read the pooling clause of the hill, I said It had as much chance as a snowflakc In Hades." The Senate committee on Interstate Commerce agreed to take up all bills re lating to railroad rates and kindred sub jects on Friday. January 21. It Is ex pected that hearing will be had on some of the bills and that others, may be re ferred to sub-committees for investigation. WAS MARRIAGE LEGAL? Certificate Issued by Filipino Official Declared a Forgery. CHICAGO, Jan. 6. Investigation as to whether or not Captain David B. Mulll ken. Twenty-seventh Regiment, was le gally married in 1901 to a 20-year-old Fili pino girl has led to the charge that an alleged certified copy of the marriage cer tificate is spurious. William Adams, civil counsel for'Mullt ken, declared the document "false, fraud ulent and a forgery." Mr. Adams then produced another paper, which, ho said, was the original certificate of Mulliken's marriage In March, 1901. to Regina Bat Ismo, daughter of a Filipino merchant. This original. It was asserted, had never been filed with the authorities In the town of Escalante. Occidental Negros, P. I., ac cording to law, and the marriage there fore waa Invalid. Forgery of another marriage certificate, it was charged, was resorted to by a Filipino Justice of the Peace to shield himself from punishment for neglect of duty. This forgery, It was stated, was used against Mulllken. Lieutenant Ernest Murphy, Interpreter, testified that in his opinion Captain Mul liken's paper is the original, and the other was probably written 'from the memory of some Filipino official. An admission by Lieutenant J. M. Kim brough, Judge Advocate ana prosecuting official, that the Filipino Justice of the Peace neglected his duty and illegally re corded the certificate was declared by Mr. Adams sufficient to convince the court that the whole charge is Inspired by fraud. "We can show that one of the wit nesses who signed this alleged certificate was a cattle thief and ex-convict, and not to be believed under oath," declared he. Frederick Emery Resigns. WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. The resigna tion of Frederick Emery, chief of the Bureau of Trade Relations, has been ac cepted by Secretary Hay and he will re tire March 31. AT THE HOTELS. THE rOKTLAXD. A It Davis.
