SURVEYORS IN THE FIELD and llarrlman Struggle for Ad vantageous Itontn In Scouring Heavy .freight Trarfic of tlie Inland Kiuplre for Portland. T.KW1STOX. Idaho. Jan. 13. (Special.) -A resume of the local' railroad situation tenris to show that the end of the next three yours will see Lewiston one of the important railroad centers of the Tnlaml Umpire. Kot only will the Snake and Clearwater Rivers be spanned by no less than trn bridges within almost as many miles, but both banks of the two streams win I be lined with steel rails east and tvci. and north and south, for the Snake runs Into the Clearwater neve at right angles. At the present time the only road en tering Lewiston is the Northern Paciflc. The Palouse branch runs from Spokane, the Clearwater from Stltes, and a branch line from t.'uldesac. TUo O. R. & Js is now building its extension from Rlparia, while the Northern Paciflc U extending- the Ctildc san branch to Orangevllle. The Iewiston A: Southeastern Electric Company is b lug from here to Grangevllle by the t southeastern Electric company is build way if the Snake River, and the Inland Em ire, an electric road, is preparing: to be Kiu construction work on its extension from Moscow to this place, which will Klve that road a through line from Spokane. The statement was made last week by an official of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul that within the next three months contracts would be let for the extension of the O. R. A N. from here to a point in Western Montana where connections will be made with the main line of the St. Paul. The siftniftcance of this statement wilr perhaps be better un derstood when the local position of the 0. R. & X., Northern Paciflc and the St. Paul has been made clear. Ajreement la Abandoned. AVlien vork was begun upon the Riparia extension it was given out that it was to Ic a Joint road between the O. R. & . and the Northern -Pacific- Since work commenced on the bridge here the Nor thern Pacific withdrew from the compact, leaving the O. ft. & N. to complete the Job. The Northern pacific then turned lis whole attention to the extension of tlif Culdesac. line to Grangevllle. The Northern Pacific has, made a. sur vey of the south bank of the Snake River with a. view -to ruiinlns a. line from Ripa- via to Lwlston, giving It a line Irom t'ira n peville, through Iewiston and Htpnria, to Portland. Tt is a fact tha t alirtoRt all the grain which the O. Ft. A ." - will handle on the north aide ot theSnaKe River, between Tllp&Hft and Iwlston, Is 18 i serf on the nouth side of the river In AVashlngton, and has to be transported to the Idaho side. With the Northern Facillc paralleling tho O. R. Nn on the opposite !".de of the river, the Harrtman road will lose t housands of tons of freight each year. Little of the grain raised on the nortn sld of the Snake can be handled by the o. Tt. Sz JV. because the farm land Is hljrh a bove the river and tapped by another hranch of the Northern Pacific. The LulM.nff ,of the Northern Pacific from Riparia to IL-ewlston will mean a bridge across the Snake River abou t half a mile above where it empties into the Clearwater. From this point the Northern .Pacific would use, its present tracks to Culdesac. and when that ex tension is completed, on to Orangeville, or thr Stltes branch. The O. R. & N. evidently does not 1n t ucl to stop at Iewlaton. Jt proposes to proceed up the north bank ot the t'lriirwatcr from here to a 'jiolnt about hn!f way between North L-apwal and - rrow. croon the river there, and run :ilong the south bank of the Clearwater to amw, At a point almost opposite Peck, the O. ft. A T. has made a survey up Ti I fc -n-on. The road will turn I most due south, running into Ne Perce on the M,z Pmcb Prairie. TheVft the Una will Ueanmer Short Line t Iom Gratifettille to Portland. Tue Culdesac extension of the Northern racific win also enter Gianpevine over the Camas prairie. H Is Raid ihat the f u 1 will not ntop there, but proceed on south to the Pacific, Iiiaho A Nonhern. This road, which 1 not a long one, has connections with transcontinental lines. It is said the major portion of Its stock: Is owned or controllcfi b- John 1' Voll- mer, -president of the first National Bank of Lewiston. one of the wealthiest men In The state, and a director in the Northern r'Btltlc. It would therefore not be hard lor the Northern Pacific to make possible traffic arrangements'. When these n- tensions are completed the O. Ft. A X. and the Northern Paolfle will have paral lel Jines from Grangevllle, almost 1000 miles to Portland. A year s;o the St. Paul made a survey u n the CI os rwnter Klver from Lewin ton to the JVlldUle Fork of the Clearwater, and followed that river to the confluence of the loeh-a and Slwa. A course mras tnken j i the Lochna Rfver to a point where It could branch off to either lolo m 0 paws through the fitter Root Mountains, connecting- with the trans con tf nentat line of the St. Paul in West ern Montana. At that time It was thought here that the Milwaukee Intended to come through I -owls ton on Its way to the Coast. When the route was later announced via Tekoa and E-Uenabura:, the Clearwater survey was forgotten. A eoupU of veeka ago, however. O. R. & NT. surveyors came to 1 .'wlnton and followed the old urvey p the Clearwater River to the mouth of the Middle Fork of the Clearwater, just abovM Koonkla. the survey being an the j pun 1 1 side of the river from the North rri r'scinc. Where the latter road crosses the nearoawr at KamiaH, three miles thi-j sic) a of Kooskln. th Milwaukee pra I lit res to cross the same river and pro-t-r-erl at right angles up the Middle forlc of t'w Clearwater Riven When the O. R. & N. surveyor reached tlte Middle Fork of the Clearwater River they followed Its easy grade until the influence of the L-ochoa and Sclwa ilvcis wre rPftehPd. I'hPii they took M former stream, and are now camped a boti t 30 mllps from Kooskln. It developed this week that the O. R. fi eurvfyor? are cross sectioning the tountry with tlift preliminary survey notes made t' the Milwaukee unrvryo t-'n i- -er - The O. It. A. IV . surveyors are In charge ot Engineer Cobb, jt i, a s'lRnlnoanl fat ihal h Ir nalng Mil. waukee time checks and Milwaukee re pint blank. Thfse devrlopments incline to the belief 1h.t thr 0. R. k N. intends to build from 1 tvjyton to connect with the Milwaukee it lomi point on Its transcontinental line in Western Montana. That will a-iva the O. R. A JC. a dfreet Hne from Mon tana down a water grade througli Lewis- ton ami Rlparia to Portland, as is al ready known, the Milwaukee' trans continental line parallels as much as possible the Northern Paciflc through Montana to the Coast at Seattle. Then come the electric roads which are building- into and out of wis ton. The Inland Empire has announced that It in tends to extend its line as fast as con- Pi ruction work can be done, from Waverly to Pullman and Moscow, and thence on south to Iewlston. This line will also require a bridge within the city limits of Iewlston. For motive power for the Moscow and Lewiston division of the Inland Empire, negotiations are under way for the pur Chase of the electric power plants and wire lines of the Lewlston-Clarkston Electric Company, a deal which will In volve about 1 .000.000. The Lewtston & Southeastern Electric road has done much construction ork the past year, and it Is not beyond the bounds or reason to expect it to be operating trains between Lewiston and Grangeville within the year. It has been said, and the story has never "been denied by officials of either road, that President James 3. Hill, of the Great Northern, Is behind the Inland Empire, and that as soon as the Lewis ton A Southeastern is completed that It will be absorbed by the Inland Empire, which Is a. Spokane corporation owning- five electric roads, including a streetcar system in Spokane. It Is the ultimate intention of the Tewts ton A Southeastern to build a streetcar line in Lewiston, extending it across a bridge over the Snake River to Clarks- ton. Wash., and In time gro to Asotin, six miles up the Snake River. And last, but not least, comes the an nouncement from W. H. Brancroft, of the Oresron Short Line, that contracts are to be let very soon for the Huntington extension to Lewiston. That road, to enter Lewiston under the most favorable conditions, will have to cross the Snake River from Washington about 20 miles north from here. "With the Huntington extension com pleted, and it will be In less than two years, according to Mr. Brancroft. Har riman will have roads entering Iewlston from three directions, and the Northern Pacific the same, the latter having a line north to Spokane, while the Harrtman system will have one from the south to Huntington. While discussing this matter today, an official of the Northern Pacific safd a man hlfrh in authority. In a position to know whereof he speaks; "Every one of the projected lines in and out of Lewiston is to be built. It is a battle royal between the Hill and Har riman Interests for supremacy In the Pacific Northwest. And It means tjiat Lewiston's population will double within the next two years." ' ABERDEEN WILL FILL STREETS Plank Roadways W ill Be Abandoned as Unsatisfactory. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Jan. IS. f Spe cial.) The change ot administration In city affairs means much for Aber deen the comlnsr year. When the city "was advftaeed from a third class to a second class position it increased j ths membership of the Council from seven to 12. and the chanare is ex pected to assist materially in brlnaring , about remedies In the way ot building 1 up the municipality which . will he i much more satisfactory to a large 1 majority or the taxpayers. A8 an instance ot the Improvement projected there is a plan to brlna- be fore the 1 .ea-lalature a bill providing for the mlina- of the 1 1 I. flats. These tide flats constitute the major portion of th city at present and without the proposed fill nothtna- could be je-ted in the way- of permanent streets, proper drainage or sanitary conditions it" the bill is passed by the Lpgisia ture the new administration - will n deavor to devise some plan for perm anent treets. It Is difficult to estimate the amount of money that has been invested in the streets of Aberdeen. Planking has always been used and last year it cost nearly f3o.00 to repair and bulla F street which are of little value. It is probable that a decided change in the manner of building and maintain ing streets will be decided upon. The Council, which went out of ex istence ten days ago, passed an ordi nance which gives to each member a fe for service of ?" each evening, and $10 a month for attendance at com mittee meetings. Each session of the C'c- wnf II will coat the taxpayers 6A.

KLAMATH LAND TRADE DEFENDED Superintendent Wilson Says That Interests of Indians Were Conserved. NO GRAFT IN EXCHANGE Asserted That There Is Richer Tlm bcr on Tract Acquired by In dlans Than on That Traded Road Grant Company. MATH FALLS, Or.. Jan. IS. fSpe clal. I i . G. "Wilson, superintendent of the Klamath Indian Reservation, visiting Klamath Falls on business matters re lated to the affairs of the service, stated" In an Interview with- the correspondent of The Oregonian that statements that have been published In reference to the exchange of Jand between ' the Govern ment and the California A Oregon Ltnd Company, are erroneous, and in response to questions gave the following statement concerning- the exchange of land within the California & Oregon Military Wagon Road Grant for a compact body at the northern boundary of the reservation: 'By direction of the Secretary of the Interior and instructions from the Honor able Commissioner of Indian 'Affairs, I was directed to make examination of the Land Grant lands, according: to the pro visions of the Act of Congress of March 3, 190o, directing the Secretary to make an investigation of the Road Grant lands within the Reservation with a view to determining the value of the allotted and unallotted lands, and also with a view to seeing whether or ,not the road grant lands could be purchased from the Call- forniat & Oregon Land Company, or to see on what terms the company would exchange the road grant lands lor other lands within the boundaries of the Klamath Reservation. I made this ex amination in August and September, 1906. In my report I gave the estimated value of all the lands along the old Military Road Grant, which Included 111.40O acres of allotted and unallotted lands, of which more than 21.000 acres had been allotted to different Indians on the Reservation. "In my opinion my appraisement of lands was rather low. compared with the price of lands of similar character adja cent to the Reservation. The lands ranged in price, according to my estimates, from l per acre to ahout S6 per acre, with an average top the whole acreage emoraced in the road grant of about $3.22 per acre. The valuation of Improvements on - the allotted land was placed at lO.OOO. I re Call statin in my reoort that I thoueht It wrong to take this land from the Indians ana tnat I did not think other land with in the Reservation should toe exchanged for the road grant lands, but recom- mended that the land bp purchased out- right from the land company and ' re turned to the Indians. ' . Could "ot Use Land. . . The I-and Grant Company had never toeen in actual possession of the lands, and because of the checkerboard fashion in which the lanq laj being; the oda- mimbered sections for three miles on eaoh side of the road and In some cases six miles, could not verv well use the land. On the other hand the Indians had im proved many of their allotments to some extent and were also using- nearly all of them to some degree and cutting1 wood and timber from sections of the road grant lands that were timbered and near their allotments. "Had it become neces sary to remove the Indians from . their allotments It would have been a most unfortunate thing and possibly would have caused serious complications. "When it was decided to exchange the road grant lands for other lands within the Reservation. I recommended the Saddle Mountain tract of about RO.OOO acres, extending- from the east shore of Upper Klamath Lakc to Spragne River. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs had thought of exchanging a tract of about 64.00U acres In the center of the Reserva tion. The road company would not ac- cent such imali mm In ixchange and t understood later had decided to ex "hante the road aranE land for aboi.ti St.OOO acres near Vamse- Mountain In ramps iii ami s, ranges ujj and 13.

It was also stated that a clear gain for some one of more than J OOO OOO had been made by the transaction! We all know that timber has been advancing In value very rapidly of- late, and that timber la worth practically whatever the timber kings wish to make It. I do not claim to know what the value of th 87.000 acres of land Is. but if the timber In this tract is Increasing- at so rapid a rate as has been intimated, the same must be true ot the timber in tlie Road Grant lands restored to the Indians. There Is In the Road Grant lands almost as much timber, if not fully as much, as In the tract of 8T,ooo acres, and in addition to that the allotments of the Indians. "True, some of tha Road Grant land sections, as ihawn b- my appraisals are worth but little, and on the other jiand thei are sections of the ol.tto acre tract that are worth but little. On the whole the 87,000 acre tract Is i good My of timber, but there are sections In the Road Grant land that far exceed in itumpage any section of the compact "body given in exchange. I stated m my report mat 1 considered the 87.000 acre tract worth as much. If not more, than the 111.400 acres In the odd-numbered sections of the Road Grant. I also stated I did not think: it right to take the land away irom tue Indians and felt that If taken the Indians should be reimbursed for the va lu of ment take cuch action aa might tit neces sary to have Congress make the necessay appropriation. ... Complaints Oome Late. "I have discussed the exchange of this and freely with different citizens of Kla math County. The Acts of Congress of March 3, 1P05, and of June St.- 1905. rela tive to this exchang-e have been published and it is a peculiar thing- to me that people will sit calmly and observe the ne gotiations for an exchange ot this kind, if there Is. any lust reason to oppose It. and then after it is completed be ready to accuse some efficient official of wrong doing." Siincrlntftndorit titqnn is a man 01 BD- parently clear discernment, well schooled in the Indian Service, In which he has oeen engaged lor a number or years ano has the distinction or toeing the youngest superintendent in the service In point of years. J-Tis acquaintance with Commis sioner of Indian Affairs Liipp dates from the visit of the head of the bureau to the Klamath Agency above referred to. Mr. Wilson Is very frank and direct in his replies to queries concerning the land transaction or any other matters con- cernlng the Klamath Agency Trtth vlilcli he has to do 'or. is familiar, and believes that the welfare of the Indians Is a trust have been, successful In gaining ttie con fidence of the industrious tribesmen who are turning their lands Into farms and pastures, incloslna- allotted 'lands with fences and mrildinsf riduses quite as cred itable as those of many of their white brothers who till adjacent lands. Captain O. C. Applegate. ex-Indian Agent and Superintendent of the Kla math Aftency. upon whose resignation Superintendent Wilson was appointed, is in full accord with Mr. Wilson, as to the facts in connection with the exchange. Captain Applegate regalds It as of im portance that if it were necessary to make an exchange for land -within the reservation it was fortunate that land could be selected on the outside border, but like his successor, he believes that the Klamath Indians should be repaid for the value of their lands. f OR DUNKING STATE FUNDS SEXATOR COLE WILL INTRO DUCE NEW LEGISLATION".
