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

school months, always resulting in
much Instructing practice for the par
ticipants and affording entertainment
for the listeners. The ' societies are
