Establish 18TF FEW DESIRE LAND 11,000 Acres Bring Only 13 Entries at Roseburg THREE CLAIMS VALUABLE Portlander Homesteads Tract With 7,000,000 Feet of Timber Hew Law Governs The opening to entry of nearly 11, 000 acres of government land at the United States loud olllce In Rose burg yesterday morning was not at tended by a heavy rush of applicants. Just thirteen entries were filed, aud these in the aggregate Involve less than 1600 acres or a little over one seventh of the total acreage available for filing. All of the land was for merly a part of the Umpqua National Forest. In reality, 91,840 acres in all were withdrawn, but of this some 80,000 acres were covered either by entries or railroad scrip prior to Us Inclusion In the reserve by President Roosevelt's bluuket order of March 2, 1907, Little of the land thrown open yes terday was valuable for elthor tim ber or agricultural purposes. This accounts for the small number of entrlos filed. Three of the thirteen applicants, however, got first-class claims. Two of theBe are Portland men, Robcoo A. Wall and Homer G, Mulholland, and the third Is W. Weekly, of Remote, Coos county. Wall entered a quarter section in Benton county which Is Bald to con tain 7,000,000 feet of standing tim ber, but, singularly enough, he made a homestead filing. Weekly also filed a homestead entry, getting 80 acres of rich bottom luud In Coos county, whl ill he Is going to convert Into a dairy ranch. Mulholland filed on a quarter-sec- mer- Hon In Benton county, which he es timates contains 3,600,000 feet of timber. HIb entry was made under the- new .timber and stone act, which I provides that the applicant must give an estimate of the timber from a per sonal examination, his estimate of the value of eueh timber and also of the laud. These estimates are sub ject to an appraisal by a government agent within nine months from the date of entry. If the appraisnl Is not made by the government within such time, the applicant can buy the timber at his own estimate. If he does not want to pay the price fixed by the government his filing Is can celled and he forfeits his fee of $10 which he pays at the time of entry. The appraisal of the government stands as the purchase price to the first entryman that happens along next and wants the land. Mulholland fixed the value of his timber at $876; the land he estimat ed to be worth $25 more, making the total value of bis claim, acocording to hlB own estimate, $900. In each of the other eight timber and stone filings the entry, save in two in stances, placed the value of the land alone at $25. The exceptions were In the filings of George C. Perkins, of Gardiner, and Herbert L. Wolleson, of Eugene. Perkins, who filed on 160 acres In the Smith River coun try, In this county, placed the value of his claim laud at $50 and the standing timber he estimated to be 900,000, worth $360. Wolleson who filed on a tract containing a fraction less than 161 acres In the same lo cality, gave the value of his land at $27 and the timber, estimated at 1, 500,000 feet, at $375.

President Roosevelt's order with drawing from entry the land opened yesterday was made nt the time Con gross was about to pass a law taking the power of creating forest reserves out of his hands.

Fight Over Port Hill. Astoria Is after the Port of Port land in tho bill Introduced in the House by Dean, of Lane. Whon the measure enme up for discussion this morning, a big light ensued Mult nomah county members contended that there was an anti-Portland joker in the measure. This, In effect, was that any port formed, waB granted under the law full control of all riv ers nnd harbors within the limits of the corporation and to tho sea. It wan argued that this would give Astoria authority to asHiimo absolute control over 'the lower river and provide the exclusive right of bar pilotage for everything In that connection.

Senator Abraham of Douglas Is the author of a normal school bill, In troduced this morning, in which It is proposed to divide the stato Into Ave normal school districts. The scIiooIb at Ashland, Drain, Monmouth aud Weston, Umatilla county, are to re main where they nro and an addi tional school is to be established aL Portland. ! It Is proposed to make the county judges of each district a normal taxa tion board, who shall fix the rate of taxation to support the schools, the tax to be levied as taxes are for county purposes. Ahruluuifs Lift) Safeguard. Killing a human being for a deer. a pheasant, a coon, a bear or some larger or smaller animal will become a crime If Senator Abraham's Sen ate Dill 73, introduced today, be comes a law. The bill declares that killing a human being by m intake for an animal Hliall be manslaughter. Abraham will work zealously for the enuctment of this bill for the reason that homicides of this kind have be come very common and there have never been any punishments Indicted. lHuln'K Deficiency Dill. The fight over normal schools will be renewed In the Oregon legislature with old bitterness. Already the skeletons of tho gaunt scIiooIb at Weston, Monmouth, Ashland and Drain are haunting the lawmaking body. Throe bills to fatten them up are In the House for their benefit and two In the senate. Tomorrow the vetoed appropriation for the Mon mouth school, passed last session, will come up In the Senate on special order. Tho bill appropriates $;tR.0OO for Monmouth and (27.000 for Drain the Drain sum having been tacked on to Monmouth as a rider. Drain came forth today In the House with a bill for $7,000 ap propriation to meet deficiencies at that institution between January 1, 1907, and Juno 26, same year. At the beginning of that period state money had ceased. The school con tinued from September, 1907, until June, 1908, in a precarious manner on donated or subscribed funds, since whk-h time It has been closed. For that period another bill will be in trod u red In b'-half of Drain to meet deficiencies by Representative Buch anan, of Douglas, for $0,000 or $6, 000. Today's bill w, presented by Keprcsentatlve At-gate, of that county. ill 'BmMl In tho S nato Senator Smith, of Marion. h: tntordi' a bill for one nfiQinl school In Ported and for the disposal of yi. ut firfnt nop- mal school bulldiTTa In sucfi manner aa the normal board may deem best. Jones J I us Another (Scheme. Representative Jones, of Douglas. has presented a bill "to move the Ashland normal to Drain, continue the school at Weston, and abolish that at Monmouth. It. therefore. nppears that the Douglas county leg islators are busiest or all in produc ing normal bills. Each of its four members of the legislature is father ing a bill of his own Applegate and Buchanan to make deficiency appro priations: Abraham to set un normal districts, and J olios to abolish Ash land and Monmouth and to establish Drain.
