Ed. At last tho people of Oregon, Wash- Ilngton and California are boglnnnlng to seo the light of day on the ques tion of "timber frauds," a cry emu lating from the, interior department nt Washington, in a "stop thief" style, branding tho Coast as a hotbed of cor ruption, fraud and general cusscdnoss in timber land matters. Tho animus of this movement Is now becoming pretty generally known. rho trouble does not lie in tho fact that private Individuals havo sought to better their condition by paying Jnclo Sam the price he asked for 80 ar ICO acres of timber land, exercis ing their timber rlghls In getting it. to that Is not the real troublo after ill; tho cry of fraud Is chiefly a sham to hide the real purpose of the de partment. There Are big syndicates In this Rountry that have bought up and con trol enough script to cover every acre lot government timber land in tho three Ktates mentioned. These syndicates bought this Bcrlpt for speculative pur poses. Thoy got It for little or noth ing and now it is worth $60 and up ward per aero and they want to un load. Thoy have fought vigorously I against tho policy which has allowed $2.50 an aero for government land when script Is worth twice or three times as much. .

If he says ho expects to profit by getting the timber under his rights by paying the government tho fixed price, he is a 'speculator," and Is shut .out. But If he has script he needs no particular right under the law, but can plaster It over with Undo Sam's tim ber as he pleases, or as long as tho script holds out. - This of course Is not speculation. Tho department In terprets this as business. It Inter prets this as not playing into the hands of corporate Interests us against the individual. The ery of fraud In Oregon timber seems to have been ostensibly an ex cuse for changing tho policy of tho Interior department from protecting tho rights of individuals to serving tho Interests of big corporations, al lowing them to gobble up timber lands by use of script There have been instances report ed where special agents, in putting questions to timber applicants in mak ing proof, have asked tho applicant why he did not ubo script instead of money. This leads us to ask what rotation exists between tho Interior department and holders of script? No one will object to proper uso of govornmpnt script but tho reversal of policy toward tho sottler In the inter est of the scrippor cannot bo too so vorely condemned. The policy being pursued nt Wash ington In Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California. RIGHT TO SELL TIMBER CLAIMS. A Former Decision Cited In Which a Case was Carried Up to the U. S. Supreme Court at Washington. TImbor land claimants, who have proved up and paid for their lands, but havo not yet recelvod patents, aro feollng much easlor, says tho Medford Southern Orcgonlnn. Tho Bonoral opinion scorns to bo that tho harsh interpretation of the word specula tion being mado by tho land depart ment will not stand. This is further strengthened by tho fnct that there Is a decision of the United States su preme court bearing directly upon tho point nt Ibsuo-. In effect, tho decision states that tho claimant is nt llborty to sell tho land at any timo, and In this case It was mentioned that land was sold for which paymont had not yet been mado to tho government. The decision follows tho ovldonl common sense view of tho matter, that unloss thoro Is a conclusive or rnngomont to turn over tho land for a certain consideration for tho right, the claimant is acting entirely within the law and within his rights. The decision was rondored In tho caso of tho United States vs. Mont gomery nnd Budd, and was carried up from the stato of Washington. It ap pears In tho U. S. Bupromt court, vol ume 1-il, pago lfi-t. It reads In part as follews: ' Tho particular charge Is that Budd before- his application had unlawfully and fraudulently mado an agreemont with his co-dofondant, Montgomery, jf.

What, then, is tho evi dence upon which tho government re lies? It appears that Montgomery purchased quite a number of tracts of timber lands In that vicinity, somo 10 000 acres, as claimed by ono of tho witnesses; that tho titlo to 21 of theso tracts was obtained from the govern ment within one year, by various par ties, but with tho same two witnesses to tho application in each case; that tho purchase by Montgomery woro mado shortly aftor tho payment to tho government, nnd in two Instances a day or two beforo such payment; that those various deeds rccito only a nominal consideration of ono dollar; that Budd nnd Montgomery wero resi dents of the same city, Portland, Ore.; that ono of tho two witnesses to these applications was examining tho landa In that vicinity and reporting to Montgomery, and that the patentee, Budd, years oftcr his convcyanco to Montgomery, stated to a government agent who was making Inquiry into the transaction that ho still hold tho land and had not sold it, but that It was "In Boak." But suroly this amounts to llttlo or nothing. It sim ply shows that Montgomery wanted to purchaso a largo body of timber land, nnd did purchaso thorn. This was porfectly logltlmato, and Impllos or suggests no wrong.

It Is a little nirlwiB that the carnival proposition still holds in Oregon towns. I'ortiaiH), the mother city. Is guilty twite in a season. Albany will prob ably not bo thiiB caught again The Dalles and other bunchgrass towns are having thalr truq. The opportuni ty of legitimate amusement Is always welcome. But these carnival people are usually loarned In all the learning of the Egyptians, with special teach ing In tho school of graft. Fraternal orders having the eonllden'e of the community used to stand bank of this sort of tiling. After a more or less doubtful experience the higher frator nal courts frowned on carnivals. In result, financially, a carnival Is equal In effect to a Portland holdup. Mor1 ally but the moral part of such things - Is another story. How in tho namo of decency can the American people be Interested In tho doings of a filthy snake-eater, or the Jam or dirt-eating of a trlbo of dirty Doras? It Is all ono If Dtrty Dora is Easau in disguise, it would serve thorn both right if Dirty Dora Is Mrs. Easau, or If Easau is Mrs. Dirty Dora. It Is contrary to all the articles of wnr and all tho decla rations of Independence for the pub He to bo amused with exhibitions of people diving from great heights Into tanks of water, or looping loops on foot or horseback. If peoplo feel tho need of strenuous experiences such as this, lol thorn try acquaintance of tho hangman. The latter functionary should also doal with this hoodlum confetti business. Wo can't suitably npo Creole customs even a llttlo bit And tho confetti nulsaueo calls for burning a rng, or evon a llttlo hot tnr and somo Imitation feathers. N. H. Looney Is Selected.
