These are some of the other In tantes recited where the state failed D receive more than a fraction of the alue of the property sold: Quarter-section of timber land: In owlttz County estimated in 1901 to arry 1,367,000 feet of timber and sold tn that basis to Joseph O'Neill ; estl aated by committee's cruiser to carry 11,435,000 feet of timber. Quarter section in Cowlita County, ?tl mated by state cruisers in 1901 to arry 1,258,000 feet of cedar and no Ir and sold on such basis to A.

Timber on section in Pierce County sold IpVil 13, 1901, for $2287.60; estimated, by lonimittce to be worth now $100,000. Another case ia noted where Peter, Hubert and Albert Schafer of Matlock, Vash., are accused by the commit fe of bidding in a quarter section of fend for $2400, paying down 10 per cent (nd no more since then, and of subse Jiwntly logging off $2000 worth of timber. ; The committee submits copies of let 'frs dating back to Aurust, 1907, showing riat the land department was advised of Jie removal of the timber but had done lothing except to notify Schafer Brothers h August, 1900, two years later, that un fesa the timber were paid for the mat pr would be placed in the hands of the it torney-OeneraL No Graft in Deposits. In response to numerous suggestions !he committee took up the matter of the Kate Land Office deposits to determine rhether the Capital National Bank, of Dlympia, had been paying Land Com nissioner B. W. Ross interest thereon. rhe committee finds that the average tally balance of the Commissioner from Skid to 1910 was $194,063.32. A letter from 2. J. Lord, the president, is submitted, tenying that any interest or consider ation whatever had been paid to Ross tor the deposit. Mr. Lord also offered lie committee access to the bank's books, klr. Ross submitted an affidavit of the lama purport as Mr. Lord's letter. The committee makes the following Upcommendations in part concerning the and department: Land Laws Lax. The caws herein mentioned and referred io represent sales In different counties on ;he west side of tlve state, and have been n en tinned an flagrant instances of fraud ind Incompetency. The looseness and laxity f the land laws, the dishonesty, Incom leteiu'y and inefficiency of ruts?rs, to fether with other conditions, convince the lommittee that the state has been for years i somatically defrauded, and the people of Si state have lost millions of dollars by the sale of state and timber lands for rrnssly and ridiculously inadequate consid iration. Reliable cruises that have been hade under our direction disclose that care ess. Inaccurate. and perhaps dishonest irulsen. heretofore made by state cruisers, jave resulted in the loa to the state of great minimis of money, running Into incredible Ifrures. In addition to the foregoing irregularities, knot h?r source of even greater loss to the itate has been the poor judgment disclosed ji the selection of indemnity school lands intl state granted lands. A striking in it a nee of this was the selection during the rears of 19ul to 1904 by representatives of :he State Land Commissioner of about 40. M'O acres of land in Kittitas County. At :his time there was available for- selection 1 large area of valuable, timber and agri rult ural land In the state. Instead of so rurtng for the benefit of the people of the itate ihvse valuable lands, the Land Com ntssloner and his inspectors made their se lertintis from practically worthless grazing lands. located on the hill tops in Kittitas County. These lands so selected are still jwned by the itatv, and it is doubtful if at tfte time of their selection or now their talue is more than $1.25 per acre. If the Land Commissioner had exercised proper tudKmont ami diligence, and in the interests f thrt people of the state, he could have elected laud worth at this time from 30 :o $150 per acre. The same conditions exist :o a more or less -extent in other counties. Rliere equally worthless land was selected Inn tead of valuable timber and agricultural and. Board Should Be Reformed. I'nder the present land laws the State Board of Iand Commissioners is composed if an elected Commissioner, the State Fire Warden, and the members of the Stale Tax Commission. the Commissioner of Public Linii beinsr the chairman of the board and ha vine ri"iiH-t charge of all the affairs of the state s land office. In the opinion of Ihis committee the system for handling the time's land business should be changed. The prose nt members of the Board of Land rcmmissloners. other than the elected Com missioner, have duties to perform in their re pectin offices, which should and vir tually do require ail of their time. Conse quently they are in a position to pay but lit tie attention to the duties imposed upon them as members of the State Iand Com mission. We recommend that th? next LWti;a:ure amend the laws to provide for l. land commission to be composed of one flee live Land Commissioner and two mem bers with vijual authority to be appointed by the Governor; this commission to select from among its members the chairman. We recommend further that the next Leg islature provide for an immediate and thorough cruise of all limber lands owned by the state. Concerning other departments and Institutions the committee says in part: Asylum Bills Forthcoming. The committee has made exhaustive In quiry rnto matters pertaining to the insane; the manner of commitment; the advisa bility of requiring guardians or relatives of insane persons, financially able, to pay the fost of maintaining such patients lri the ttate's institutions, and after consultation with the superintendents of the two state asylums, and the principal Probate Judges of the state, will present to the lyll Legis lature certain bills dwxned to remedy and Improve existing conditions. We dprecate th apparent Jealousv and rivalry existing between the State College sod tho University. o Washing Lou, These two great Institutions in this, the greatest state of the Northwest, should work In closest harmony. In rdr that they might fill to the highest degree their respective ft laces In modern education. We feel that n this state there ought to be but one university and one experimental and agri cultural school. Climatic and other condi tions in Eastern "Washington are peculiarly adapted to the maintenance of an experi mental and agricultural school In that sec tion. We believe that if the college at Pullman devotes Its efforts primarily to ex perimental, agricultural and scientific work, and the university at Seattle continues to develop Into a university of the highest type, the best interests of the state would be thereby subserved. ' The committ-e suggests that a recommen dation be made to the Legislature for the appointment of a committee consisting of several members of the Legislature. tw or three disinterested but progressive school men, a member of the Bureau of Inspec tion and Supervision of Public Offices and a few substantial business men from dif ferent parts of the state, to consider all questions relating to the government, main tenance and curricula of the state's five In stitutions of higher learning, and make lecomrrrendattons to a succeeding Legislature in accordance with its findings. Xorma! Schools Too Many; The necessity for maintaining three normal acbools in the state Is not apparent to the committee, and. while we have n- reoommen- riatlons to make in this crmneetion. we be lieve that a future Legislature might rear ranga the normal schools with benefit, to the dtate as a whole. Training School Xoeds Additions. We, believe that the riest interests of the children demand a separate school for the boys and for the girls. We do not mean by this that either sex should be removed to an other part of the state, but that another farm, specially adapted to tre raising of fruit and agricultural products of all kinds, and dairying as well, should be secured within a lew miles of the present Institution ana buildings erected thereon for the boys, and that the present site be used, for a girls' school exclusively. In this way both insti tutions could be under the care of the same j superintendent. e believe that an appropriation should he made for the erection of a hospital building on the present site, as the old frame building now being used as a hospital Is nothing more or lesa than a fire trap, and from a sanitary point of view absolutely unfit for the purpose to which It Is devoted. We believe also that an appropriation should be made for greenhouses, where the girls cUld be taught how to grow flowers. We believe greenhouses could be made a source of revenue to the Institution, besides being a great help to the girls of the school. If all the children are to be retained at the one school, it Is almost imperative that a largrn gymnasium and playroom be erected fur the boys In the near future-. Oil Inspector Exonerated. On February 18 and 1Q, 1910, the committee held an Investigation of the charges preferred by 13. H. Thomas against F, A. Olark, State Oil Irwpector. All testimony offered In support of the charges was received and considered fully. Tha committee finds that the charges were not sustained. An Inspection of the testimony, together with other data considered, convinces the com mittee that the present oil inspection law Is mur or lew useless and has not secured to the consuming public of the state the results and benefits that were originally intended. We suggest that the Governor give the matter attention, to the end that remedial legisla tion may be suggested to the next Legislature, and that either the present law be abolished or that It be made more effective and bene ficial In Its general scope and operation. State Fair Officials Lax. W spent nearly three weeks In checking the accounts - of the etate Fair, at North Yakima, for the years lt'7, 11, ltJt and a part of 1010. We found nothing to Indicate dishonesty on the part of the commissioners or officers of the association, except that rumor has it that a certain young man formerly in the employ of the association had collected a matter of $60 due the association and had not accounted for same. This matter Is being looked after at the present time and we are assured if the rumor is correct the money will be paid Into the association. We find that there has been gross negligence and apparent incapability on the part of the secretaries in the keeping of accounts. There has been great extrava gance also in the expenditure of funds and we believe altogether too much money spent for horeeracing. Our criticism does not apply to the present commissioners and officers. State Dental Board Scored. On February 25 and 26. 1910, the com mittee held an investigation of the State Dental Board upon written charges filed by E. J. Brown, of Seattle. " After examining many witnesses and con sidering the mass of testimony, the com mittee finds: That the statute creating the Dental Board makes no provision for the examin ation of applicants in any certain subjects relating to dentistry, and confers on the Dental Board unlimited powers as to the scope of the examinations to be given. This portion of the statute Is susceptible of abuse, and results in different Boards giving different examinations and prescrib ing different standards and qualifications for the securing of licenses, and the com mittee feels that the best interests of the state will be subserved by an amendment to the dental law, prescribing the subjects in which applicants shall be examined and the qualifications necessary to pass such examination. That the proceedings of the various Den tal Boards have not been open to public inspection, as provided in the statute, and that applicants taking examinations have been denied access to the papers? records and files of the Dental Board, and that the secrecy maintained has given rise to criti cism and suspicion which has brought the State Dental Board into more or less dis repute. That the Dental Board In at least one case demanded and received the statutory fee of $-5 for an examination which was not given, and later issued a license to the applicant based upon his grades in an examination given six months prior thereto. The committee considers this unwarranted and reprehensible conduct on the part of the Dental Board, and mention this case as additional evidence of the arbitrary and unlimited powers exercised by the Board under the present law. The financial report for the year 1908 and lftt9 presented to the Governor shows that each member of the Board ha? charged and received, in addition to the $,.K per diem allowed ty the law, railroad far to and from his home to the nlace of holdine exam inations, as well as a fiat rate of $.',.00 per nay to cover expenses. sucn practice should he condemned, as in the judgment of the committee It is a violation of both the letter and spirit of the law. That the charge alleging- conspiracy, fraud and collusion between the Dental Board and the State Dental Society was not sustained by the testimony Introduced.

F Heidei, assistant engineer of the Bureau of Good Roads, Department of Agriculture, arrived in Medford tonight to take up his work on the Crater Lake road, which he began last year but had to discontinue when an injunction was secured tying up the $100,000 appropriation made by the Legislature.

W HITMAN' TO MEET OPPOSITIOX Bill for Sale of Fort Walla Walla to College Goes Over. OREGOXIAN XEW9 BUREAU, Wash ington, April 8. Senator Jones yesterday called up in the Senate his bill authoriz ing the sale of the Walla Walla military reservation to Whitman College at $150 an acre. Senator Scott objected, saying the Government had erected buildings on the reservation which are worth $162,000. and he declared it bad policy to sell these buildings and some 600 acres for approxi mately $01,000. "'If we are going to donate this reser vation to Whitman College, let's do so. and not donate it under pretense of mak ing a sale." he said. Senator Bairkett also protested against passage of the bill, contending the War Department might desire to re-establish an Army post at Walla Walla. Senator Jones declared Fort Walla Walla would have been abandoned some years ago. but for the fact that Senator Ankeny. residing in' Walla Walla, had prevented the War Department from carrying out its desires. When Ankeny retired, he said, the troops were removed from Walla Walla and the post will not be rehabili tated. Xev-s'-rhelesfi. tb bill went over, to come upr Development of Alameda Park Makes Investment Opportunity Alameda Park Offers the Average Man, With Fair Income, the Best Investment Opportunity in Portland, Which Means the Best Opportunity in the Northwest Lots in Alameda Parle ! Priced 25 to 50 Per Cent Below the Market, and Values Rising Rapidly Prices $800 and Upward. A little over a year ago Alameda Park was opened for sale. The nam "Alameda" was given this beautiful seetiou of soma 139 acres after the tjoTile ard of that name, which. 4s the Spanish term for "shaded drive." This bouhs ard extends not only through Alameda Park, but through Irviitgton and out to the Country Club. When completed, and improved, It will be the fashionable drive of Portland. Location Alameda Park lies, for the greater jmrt on a high plateau rising 250 feet above the Willamette, commanding a magnificent view of the city and river, and the suow-covered mountains. The soil ia well adapted to lawns, and will grow anything that the housewife may wish. The altitude and the character of the soil are absolute insurance against water in cellars and consequently damp houses. Every lot in Alameda Park 5s high and dry and sightly. The Park is situated adjoining and overlooking Irvington on the north, two miles from the business center of the city, and. lies between 21st street and 33rd street, Fremont street and Prescott street. Car Service It is reached by the Broadway carline, which runs direct to the entrance at the present time, and, beginning May first, the Broadway cars will operate to 29th and Mason streets, the center of the Park. When the Broadway bridge is built, and Mayor Simon says that it will be built witlun his present term of office, Alameda Park will be from fifteen to seventeen minutes from Fifth and Washington streets. With this magnificent high bridge, there will be no more delays on the way to and from the business section. Besides, it is planned to express cars through to Alameda Park so as to cut the running time down to the minimum. The high bridge will eliminate the river as far as interruption to traffic is concerned, and there will be no East Side and West Side; it will be united Portland. Of course, the Irvington, Holladay and Alameda Park residence districts will profit most by this arrangement, being the sections benefited most by the high bridge. Improvements and Restrictions Alameda Park lots have sold with remarkable rapidity when one considers the conservative policy of the Alameda Land Company in insisting on desir able residents, first-class residences, and best street improvements. The building period has begun and a score of homes are being built, with scores more to follow during this season. As to the improvements, Bull Run water is now piped throughout the tract ; cement walks and curbs are being constructed by Elwood Wiles, who has the contract for this work throughout the property; the gas mains are being laid; the sewer will be installed early this Summer, and all wires are to be placed under ground. Paving will start immediately upon the completion of the underground work, which would place it in the early Summer. Every street in Alameda Park will have these improvements. . Competent engineers are drafting the plans for a central heating plant to heat every home in Alameda Park. This project, though not yet assured, will in all probability be carried out ; very flattering indorsement has already been given this plan. When installed, a plant of this character will insure adequate heat in every room of every house all day and all night at an expense very considerably less than the present inadequate, smoky, dirty, troublesome, ex pensive furnaces, and other private heating apparatus generally. The Prices Low Notwithstanding ehoiee location, altitude, healthfulness, improvements, re strictions, car service, all of the best, Alameda Park is priced fully twenty five per cent below the market value. A thorough investigation of all residence properties on the market will convince anyone of the truth of this statement. It is an almost daily occurrence for prospective buyers to remark about the comparatively low prices asked for choice building sites in Alameda Park. Many people remark when asked to consider investing in the Park that they prefer to buy where the neighborhood is all built up, and ask why they should go into a district not fully developed. The answer to this is that the fully-developed section has realized its advance, while the one in process of development has a future before it with consequent increase in lot value which means profit to the investor. The Investment Opportunity Alameda Park is at just that stage the building stage. One year hence it will be practically settled and prices will consequently be full fifty per cent greater than at present. The moral is: plan to buy a lot in Alameda Park now and reap this advance. A few minutes spent in seeing Alameda Park itself will be more satisfactory than whole pages of newspaper space. Therefore, everyone who is at all interested should see at the first, opportunity. SOME FINE NEW LOTS In round figures, one hundred more lots have just been added to the Park and are now open for sale. There are beautiful view lots among them. All the one hundred lots lie well on a tree-dotted, sunny southern slope. Simply take Broadway ear and go to Alameda Park, Prices will advance upon the completion of the Broadway extension to the center of the tract, May 1, Alameda Land Company, owner of Alameda Park, 322 Corbett building. i Broadway Bridge CONSUMPTION IB A.
