THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 1. 1906. GURRY IS LEFT OUT Rogue River Reserve Will Not Include Land in This County. PINCHOT INFORMS FULTON Withdrawals Will Stand as Made, and Determination Will Be Reached on Probable Addi tions From Area In Future. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 30. Senator Fulton had a conference with Forester Plnchot today regarding the proposed creation of four reserves !n Oregon in the immediate fu ture. Fuiton told Plnchot the people of the state had no suggestions to make re garding any of these reserves, except that in the Rogue River country' they asked that none of the land now withdrawn in Curry County be permanently reserved at this time, and that those lands in Curry County lying along streams which ars withdrawn be immediately restored to entry. Plnchot agreed to abide by their wishes, and when the Rogue River reserve is created. It will not include any part of Curry County, though withdrawals in that county will stand. Later on it will be determined how much of this area shall be added to the reserve. There being no objection to the Goose Lake, Fremont and Heppner reserves, they will be created along the lines of withdrawals now in effect.

By Monday or Tuesday the President will probably reappoint W. C. Bristol as District Attorney of Oregon and James Wickersham as Judge of Alas ka. These nominations failed of confirma tion at the session Just closed. The Sen ate never considered Bristol's nomination because the subcommittee to which It was referred did not report. This committee, after examining the records in the case, concluded to take no action. Whlle the showing against Bristol was not such as, in the opinion of members of the com mittee, would Justify rejection or their nomination, they yet did not care to give Jiini their Indorsement. Later, when Secretary Hitchcock brought pressure to bear on the Senators to force confirmation of Bristol, the subcommittee took a determined stand and flatly refused to take any action whatever. The depart ment of Justice has not dipped into the case since Bristol s second nomination, but feels. Inasmuch as he has made him self familiar with the land-fraud cases to be tried this Summer, and inasmuch as the Senate did not see lit to reject his nomination, it Is only fair that he should be given a recess appointment and thus be permitted to assist in the prosecutions. Senator Fulton will Interpose no objec tion to this programme. With Judge Wickersham the circum stances were different. It has been dem onstrated that practically the entire Sen ate favors his confirmation, but Senators Nelson and McCumber, for personal reas ons, filibustered to prevent a vote and succeeded. Inasmuch as Wickersham has acq tutted himself on charges filed against him, the President and Department of Justice are standing by him and Intend to hold him in office regardless of what these two Senators may do. Wickersham is now on his way back to Alaska. ALL OREGON BILLS PASSED Pacific Northwest Representatives Leave for Their Homes. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 30.
