GOVERHMEHT TAKES STEP TO
SAVE MULTNOMAH FALLS
- Instructions issued by the commissioner
of the federal land office in Washington
will save from despoliation Multnomah
falls, the most beautiful of all the scenic
attractions along the Columbia. The
register and receiver of the Portland land
office have been instructed to withdraw
from all forms of entry, except mineral
Multnomah falls and the lands immediate
ly surrounding them.
As a result of the commissioner's In
structions the historic falls will be afford
ed the protection imposed by the forest
reservation laws, and regulations. The
tract of land included in the order of with
drawal consists of 600 acres along the
Columbia river, ISO miles east of Portland.
A custodian will be placed In charge of
the reserve by the government He will
have charge of the falie and surrounaing
scenery and it will be his duty to preserve
them from despoliation.
WILL SAVE THE FALLS
The order will terminate the efforts that
have recently been made to divert the
waters from Multnomah creek above the
falls for commercial purposes. The eff
orts caused general alarm among persons
who are interested in the preservations
of the falls for artistic and historical
reasons. ' ,
George - Wetherby recently filed a
soldier's additional homestead claim on a
tract of land on the bluff above the falls
and it was said that he was backed by a
commercial enterprise which Intended to
use the waters of the creek for private
purposes. The plan would, it was said,
limit the water above the falls, practical
ly destroying them. - '
Protest was immediately made. . His
torical societies and, other organizations
that were interested in the preservation
of one of the most beautiful natural won
ders of the northwest took steps o pre
vent its destruction. They were support
ed by public sentiment throughout the
entire northwest '
-The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company also went to the rescue of the
falls. Instead of arousing a sentimental
clamor to stop the proposed despoliation
the railroad company, through its attorn
ay, Arthur C. Spooner, filed a protest
Wetherby had filed on a 60 acre tract
with a view of establishing a commercial

STATE OAVI UP FALLS
' Mr. Spooner filed a protest contending
that the 50 acre tract sought by Wether
by was state land, the state having ac
quired it under the provisions of what is
known as the "Swamp land grant" which
became a law in 1873.
In the arguments that followed it de
veloped that a man by the name of Bar
rows had in 1 892 filed on the 60 acre
tract for homestead purposes. At that
time the government served notice of the
filing on the state and gave the common
wealth an opportunity of establishing its
ownership to the land. The state paid no
attention to the notice and made no effort
to establish its ownership ot the properly.
Barrows' claim is said to have been
abandoned or to have never reached final
settlement But when Wetherby laid
claim to the tract in 1 905, Mr. Spencer,
attorney for the O. R. & N., was appoint
ed by the state to establish its ownership
and to contest Wetherby's claims.
December 14, 1905, the land depart
ment at Washington decided the case. It
was held that the state's failure to es
tablish its claim in 1 892 when given the
opportunity forfeited its rights and that
Mr. Spencer was not permitted to contest
Wetherby's claims in behalf of the state.
His protest was accordingly denied.
The recent decision to withdraw the
land from entry, however, settles the case
permanently, it is said. The land em
braced in the order of withdrawal in
cludes the falls and land immediately
surrounding them and also the land on
which Wetherby filed his claims. The
subdivisions thus withdrawn, and which
will be created into a forest reservation,
are all of the fractional section 7 and
north half of section 1 8, township 1 north,
range 6 east
Multnomah falls are situated some 30
miles east of Portland on the Oregon side
of the Columbia river, and are in plain
view from the trains of the O. R. & N.
Company. The railroad company has ad
vertised the falls extensively, and they
are regarded as one of the most attract
ive scenic features of its lines. The falls
are 840 feet in height
