Some of the finest and heaviest timber In the Pacific northwest is embraced In the wagon road company's grant. The figures quoted, however, show j the intrinsic value of the Minneapolis , company's purchase and give an lnk I ling of tremendous profits to be de i rived with in a few months when the I agricultural and grazing lands are put on me maricei ana sola. Granting that the timber is worth only the $5,000,000 which has been of fered, the balance of the 700,000 acres in the grant represents a cost price of $2,500,000, or $3.50 an acre. Of this 700,000 acres, nearly 300,000 lie In Crook county and include the richest and most fertile agricultural and Irrigable lands In central Oregon. Thousands of acres of the tract- are worth today between $50 and $100 an acre. The same run , of values lir.lds true throughout the confines of the grant In Harney and Malheur counties. The men who chose the land years Ago for the road-company for a distance of six miles on either side of the line had the entire country to pick from and they selected the meat of central Oregon from Albany to the Idaho line. With scrip quoted -at $13 an acre, the purchase of which Is the only means open for the acquirement of large Bodies of government land, a greatly enhanced value is given to the company's holdings which cannot be classed as agricultural areas, but In stead will be sold for grazing purpos es. The grazing lands, however, rep resent but a small part of the 700, 000 acres held outside of the timbered districts in the Cascades. American League. Washington, May 18. The score: R.H.B.

Evidence of the powerful Influence the advent of a railroad is having in the develop ment of central Oregon and the price of its lands, is shown m the offer made a few days ago by an eastern timber syndicate to purchase the 200,000 acres of timber land lying in the Cas cade mountains and embraced in the Willamette Valley ft Cascade Moun tain Wagon Road company's grant. This grant, stretching from Albany eactward across the state to the Ida ho line, was purchased by a group of Minneapolis capitalists a few weeks ago and Includes 900,000 acres. The purchase price was $7,500,000. It Is stated authoritatively that the Minneapolis company was offered 15, 000.000 for its timber land alone, an equivalent of $25 an acre for the 200, 000 acres. The offer. It is understood was not even considered. Timber Good Roads. A special representative of the U. S. department of agriculture, Wash ington, D. C, Dr. Maurice M.

Mattle. daugh ter of this alliance, married Theodore Roosevelt, sr., whose son, Theodore Roosevelt, was president of the Unit ed States." ; This is a paragraph from the report of a house committee recommending ne erection or a monument, at a cost or Z500, to the nemory of Generals Daniel Sstewart and James Screven They were members of what the re port calls "a little band of cultured and pious men who, with their famil ies. settled in Georgia about 150 years ago. iney called themselves "The Midway Society." Screven, who had a record as a brave and daring nut riot, was killed in one of the battles of the revolution.

He was wounded by a b at Pocatalogo, South Carolina, cap tured, and confined in a prison ship at unarieston. On a stormy night he and eight others slipped through port holes nd swam through mighty waves to shore. Stewart entered the service again and fought to the end -of the war, much of the time with Sumpter and Marion. Soon-after the close of the war he was at the head of a regiment chas ing Indians along the cost of Georgia The trouble was that the Indians were robbing the settlers of cattle and horses, pillaging houses and murder. Ing families. He was a presidential elector and voted for Madison. When Stewart returned home after the revolutionary war he found that his tranquil plantation, near Rice boro, had been occupied by General Prevost, commanding - the British troops in the south.
