Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, Jan. . 21. It be
came known here today that Presi

quences if the California legislature
does not keep its promise to post
pone anti-Japanese measures. Roose
velt no longer conceals his feelings of
alarm. Last year be averted a crisis
by settling the controversy arising
over the discrimination against Jap
anese students in the schools of San
Francisco, and he Is now afraid the
legislature will kick over the bucket
by proposing some law obnoxious to
the Japanese government. The pub
lic mind in Japan Is again Inflamed,
and a few days ago the Japanese am
bassador visited Roosevelt and ad
vlBed him to use his efforts to pre
vent the California legislature from
doing some rash act.

Added Interest is given to the

the ease with which "a certain Or

course,) could occupy the harbor and
utilize it as a base of operations
against the rest of the const, as well
as the Panama canal. The report

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all were withdrawn, but of this some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.
Tho names of the timber nnd stone
entrymon, together with their tim
ber estimates and values, follow:
Ambrose Middloton, of Eugene,
120 acres In sec. 10, 19-9, Lane coun
ty; 1,000,000 feet, $275.

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. Regardless of what
had been filed on or selected under
tho lieu land law, the president's or
der swept almost every, bit of unpat
ented land Into rosorves. Thore It
remained until the government could
select the best timbered tracts that
had not been appropriated. This was
followed by throwing the remainder
open to entry, and the order for the
opening yesterday Is one of scvernl
that have boon Issued from the In
terior Department since that tlmo.

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.

Ahi-ahums Normal 1 1 ill.
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.
