Fight Against Conservation Is Nut for Benefit of Homesteaders, But for Monopolistic Corporations and Giving Latter Heritage of People. When President Taft, at the in stance of Rhh. rd A. Balllnger, sec retary of tt'O Interior, opens up the timber lands of Oregon to settle ment tho big timber Interests will gobble up what they and tho rail roads do not already possess, and tho homesteader will have, as bo fore nothing. Such Is the Balllnger brand of conservation, declares United States Senator George B. Chamberlain. Such Is tho preparation lor serving the Interests that tho secretary of tho interior has mado wMle appar ently planning for the anall settler. Laughs at Balllnger Senator Chamberlain laughed at the statement mado by Balllnger while In Portland recently that ho favored tho restoration of all lands to public entry that are available for agricultural or commercial pur poses. "If a homesteader finds agricul tural land In tho middlo of the for est reserve ho can settle on it law fully" ho said. "There 13 nothing In the withdrawl act that prevents homesteadlnz on agricultural lands, no matter wh.'-.t their location. The assertion of the secretary that all lands, including tho timber areas, must bo restored to entry, If any are restored, is ridiculous. Senator Ch mberlain explained what ho meant by saying that restor ation of forest reserves In Oregon "will mean their gobbling up by the timbored Interests. By an act of March 3, 1891, tho president was empowered to from lmo to time set apart as national reserves timber lands In tho various states and terri tories. This power was caused by President ltoonovolt, thus setting at naught Bellinger's assertion while in Portland that the present administra tion has made the only substantial progress toward true conservation. By necessity the work had to bo quickly done, nnd many timos with out careful examination of tho soil or tho growths within tho reserve. Many of tho lands included in tho now reservations had been granted to tho railroads. In these instances the railroads woro given tho right to deed ovor their holdings to tho gov ommont, receiving in roturn equal areas in lieu, thereof without tho re serves, Tho Northern Paoific was ono of tho railroads, said Senator Chamber lain, that availed itself of this op Notes from Rogue River Valley vnlloy. Mr. Parker comes to seek a health resort for his family and at tho same time a place in which to continuo in tho fruitgrowing indus try. Ho left Monday evening on the motor for Ashland and will return after a visit in that locality. W. E. Kahlcr, who, after resting a few days and recuperating from the effects of his trip to Newport and) tho Willamette valley, comes forth and states that during his absence he saw a bigger country than tho Rogue River vnlloy, but not a better one. Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Jeffers will not leave Central Point, but it is un derstood will build n neat home at somo other part of tho city nnd set tlo down for life. Owing to the non-arrival of ma terial, work ia lagging on the county bridge at this point. If tho county court docs not at tend to tho unsafe placo at Griins ley's slough at Agate much damage is sure to occur at that point. Tha road is wojl nigh impassable. Tho Y. M. C. A. building fund is in tho immediato vicinity of the $7000 mark, and the returns nre not all in as yet. It is estimated that almost $S000 mil be the result of the final win duo. The Y. M. C.

It surrendered and deed ed to the government practically worthless lands in tho Mount Ruinicr forest reserve to receivo in return thousands and thousands of acres of Oregon's best timber lands by what is called indemnity selection. The act authorized the railrcnd to select lands in any state where its lines ox tended. Tho Northern Pacific rail road had at tho timo about 30 miles of railroad in Oregon. "This right of indemnity selection granted to tho Northern Pacific rail way and the scrip which it had," said Senator Chamberlain, "would enable that company or its assignees to se cure title nnd get possession of the splendid forests of Oregon now held in reserve, if those reserves are ever opened up by congress or by execu tive proclamation. "I have been uiformcd that the Northern Pacific railway company has a contract with the Weyerhaeu ser interests, under tho terms of which much of tho right of indemnity selection has been sold to the Wey erhaeuser interests, but selections are made in thu first instance under this contract by the Northern Pa cific Railway company. In addition to this, there is danger that tho tim ber nnd stone act would be availed of in tho future ns in the past to sc euro these timbered lands in the in terests of eastern syndicates. No body understands this situution bet ter than Louis W. Hill, and nobody understands better than he that the fight against conservation in tho west is not a fight in the interests of tho people, but rather for the benefit of the larger interests which I have mentioned. Thero is very littlo lnnd within the reserves of Oregon that in fit for homestead settlement nnd the plea for those who are in search of home stcads is absolutely without inent, for, under tho law as it is today, the actual homesteader can procure title to lands within these reserves under tho homestend law where the lands are more valuable for agricultural than for othor purposes. "This," continued Senator Cham berlain, "explains why Mr. Hill of the Great Northern is so anxious to have tho forest resorvos of Oregon open ed up to settlement. I nm in fuvor of opening up tho agricultural lands for settlement, but not of handing ovor tho timber lands to tho interests that have already hogged as much as they can. I boliovo in n policy of sano conservatism. That is tho pol icy of Theodore Roosevelt and of Gifford Pinchot. It means tho with holding of valuable timber from in terests that will use it in creating monopolies nnd in maintaining extor tionato prices. It moans using dis crimination in restoring lands lo en try so that tho homestender who actually builds a homo can secure farm lands while at tho sumo timo preventing tho big timber interohts from obtaining a greater hold than they have at present."
