New Tork Mall (JARHELD WILL INSIST. A dispatch .from. "Washington states' that If congress at this session refuses to repeal the timber and stone act. Secretary Garfield will take matters nto his own hands and put an end to the abuses that have been Deme- trated under the law. Mr. Garfield Is the first secretary of the Interior to discover rthat the timber and stone act does not arbitrarily fix tne Drlce of timber land at $2.50 per acre, but merely fixes that as the minimum price at which timber land shall be sold. It Is his contention that the secre tary of th Interior, under tne law! has authority to demand a Higher price where timber land Is worth more, and he proposes, In the event that congress does not act, hereafter to require timber entrymen to pay theappral.ied value for all lands taken under this law. Lands worth only $2.50 will be sold at that figure, but lands worth 10 to $20 per acre will be sold at those figures and lands of lesser value at corresponding, prices. There have been numerous confer ences In the department about, this proposed change, and It has been de cided to take no action until after congress adjourns, thus giving con gress an opportunity to act If It. so desire. .
