Flies Value Nine Months After Filing, and Payment Mast Fol low in 30 Days WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 2. tfBeglnning December 1, unreserved public timber lands entered under the timber and stone act must be ' paid for at its appraised value and will no longer be sold tor a flat rate ot $2.50 per acre. Secretary Gar field today promulgated a regulation to this effect, basing it upon the lan guage of the law, which says that " timber land shall be sold "for minl- ' mum price of $2.50 per acre." Gar . field holds that If $2.50 is the mini ? mum price, a greater amount can leg ally be charged for valuable timber lands. Under the new regulation a per son desiring to make a timber entry must file his application, accompany ing it by an affidavit stating that he has been personally upon the land and must submit his own estimate as to the amount of Umber and Its value and value of land when clear ed. These filings will give him a pre ference right to the land. Within nine months -the govern ment will undertake to make its own appraisal and, when this is done, the applicant can have the land at the government's price, but his prefer e.Ve right will be forfeited if he falls Amake payment within. 30 days af ter the interior department completes Its appraisal. - Whenever the govern ment falls to complete appraisal w-t'n nine months, the applicant can Blankets The kind that will keep you warm and com fortable these chilly nights.

Where the government's appraisal is considered too high the land can be reappraised at the expense of appli cant. In no Instance will timber land be sold for less than $2.50 per acre. No entryman can cut timber during the time appraisal Is being made, nor before he receives a patent from the government. Last winter Secretary Garfield en deavored to persuade congress to am end the timber and stone act so as to provide for the disposal of tim ber land BjO appraised value. When congress failed to act it was announc ed that the secretary would do by regulation what congress had failed to do by legislation. Today's order is the carrying out of that threat. Garfield's order Ib not retroactive. It does not affect any entry heretofore made. . ANNOUNCEMENT.

PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 2. Late last night, J. H. Parker, former vice- president of che First National Bank of Baker City, was found glulty by a fury of perjury in connection with his filing on a timber claim. No further action was taken in the case today. The prosecution contended that Park er violated the law In swearing to a non-mineral affidavit. The -trial of the Baker City banker grew out of a tiling on a timber claim n Baker county by Parker on which the Huffnlo Gulch mines were being operated by Fred W under. V under complained to the government and the matter was laid before the fed eral grand jury and an indictment resulted. It is alleged by the gov ernment that Parker knew of the W under mining operations when he made oath that the land was more valuable for its timber than for Its minerals. It was brought out dur ing the testimony that the most mon ey taken out of the placer mines in one year was $600, while the average yield of gold each year was a good deal less than that amount. Hltftry a Mental Wreck. SAN FHANCISCO, Dec. 2. The Dally News today prints a story to the effeat. that William J. Blggy, chief of police, who Is supposed to have committed suicide In the bay Monday night, drank heavily for several weeks prior to his death. The article says in part: On, numerous occasions, Hlggy he- came miixtnl in nightly orgies. He imagined that every man on the street was & footpad, and more titan once while going home In his auto after a night's debauch he would halt Innocent pedestrians In rough lan guage and threaten to arrest them. He was also given to making spec tacular raids single-handed. Com missioner Leggett was compelled at several different times to remonstrate with Blggy." , That Blggy offered to sacrifice hlB position to avert attacks on the city administration was shown today by the publication of a statement by Police Commissioner Keil. It devel oped that Blggy called at Kofi's home on the night of the suicide to tender his resignation, but that Kelt ad vised Biggy not to withdraw under fire. Blggy was told by Kell that Mayor Taylor and the Police Com mission were- satisfied with his ad ministration. School Gardens.'

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2. Mark ing a new era, the meeting of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America, to bo held hi this city, opening this evening, will be one of the most important gather ings In the history of American church oa. For the first time the Protestant churches of the United States will be practically and official ily, though hot organically, united In one body. Delegates officially ap pointed by the highest judicatories of 30 religious bodies will be pres ent to the number of about 400, and the outcome of the meeting Is ex pected to be a general and united, ad vance In earnest evangelism and civic righteousness. The council will have no legislative authority. It cannot "draw up a common creed or form of govern- ment-or of worship, or In any way limit the full autonomy of the Christ ian bodies adhering to It.' It will avoid everything upon which the denominations disagree, and lay em phasis upon the things in which they can work (together. It will recommend to the churches concrete propositions for joint action where "the denominations can accomplish more together than apart." It will be the first federal council of the evangellstle Protestant churches of the country, the flrBt of ficial tuter-dcnomlnational assem blage of Amecrican churches, the first formal attempt made to demon strate their "essential oneness In Jesus Christ as their Divine Lord and Saviour." This federal council grew out of the preliminary conference on federation held In New York, in No vember, 1905. Each of the 30 de nominations have olhclally approved the propositions , and have elected their respective quotas of delegates to the forthcoming conference. The churches which have approv ed the plan of fedoration and ap pointed delegales to the Federal Council are: BaptiKt, Christian Con nection, Congregational, Disciples of Christ, Evangelical Gernran Synod, Evangelical Association, Free Bap tist, Lutheran, Menonlte, Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal.

One of the most significant devel opments of the Inst 10 years has been the adoption of pension plans by more than 70 great corporations. This Is one of the most tangfble ways in which wage-earners have profited from the country's recent Industrial prosperity. In 1898 the pension Idea was practically foreign to this coun try; now It is very much In the nir. in that year only one railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio, systematically granted retirement allowances; ftice 1898, 18 lines, representing one-third of the railway mileage of this coun try, have adopted automatic pension schemes. Ten years ago almost none of America's great Industrial corpor ations regularly made provision for their old men; now the largest do bo. or have at present plans under way to that end. Until 1900 pension endow ment funds had not Impressed our rich men as suitable subjects for phil anthropy; since then, Andrew Car negie alone has given nearly $2 0, 000,000 for this puriiose. Since 1903 the Standard Oil Co. has generously treated it Innottve men: It retires them on half pay at the age of 65 and on quarter pay at 70 years. Since 1900 many of the sulmidiary companies forming the United States steel corKrat Ion have granted pen sions; the directors have now undei consideration a plan, which will proh ably become effective next year, foi an automatic, pension scheme affect ing all their 200.01)0 employiw. The unpopularity of the Powder trust Is so great that Its president was re cently obliged to drop out of the re publican national campaign; this cor poration, however, rot in at fair wages Its used-up men.
