througn the Oregonlan m-v-s ljuriii;
Beginning Diicernber. 1, unreserves
public timber tands entered under the'
timber and stone act must be paid, for
nt us approisea value and will n-T
longer be sold for a flat rate of $2.50
per acre. Secretary Garfield today
promulgated a regulation to this ef
fect, basing It upon the language of
the law, which says (hat timber lund
shall be gold "for minimum price of
$2.50 per acre." Garfield holds that
if $2.50 is the minimum price, a great
er amount can legally be charged for
Valuable timber lands.
Under the new regulation a person
desiring to make a timber entry must
file his application, accompanying It
by an affidavit staging that he hat
been personally upon the land and
must submit his own estimate as to the
amount of timber and its value and
value of land, when cleared. These
filings will give him a preference right
to the land. '
Wlthln nine months the government
will undertake to make its own ap
praisal and, when this Is done, the ap
pllcant can have the land at the gov-
! ernment's price, but his preference
right will be forfeited If he fallb to
make payment within 30 days after
the Interior department completes its
appraisal. Whenever the government
fails to complete appraisal within nine
months,, the applicant can secure the

Already nine timber and stone, ap
plications are tied up in the La Grande
office of the United States land de
partment, as the result of a message
received here yesterday Instructing the
local officials to await further instruc
tions regarding the acceptance of timy
ber and stone proofs under the new
i land bv makinar navmeht at his own
'appraised valuation. Where the gov
i ernment's appraisal is considered too
high the land can be reappraised at the
j expense of the applicant.
In no Instance will timber land be
sold for less than 2.50 per acre.. Xo
entryman can cu timber during thf
time appraisal Is being made, nor be
fore he receives a patent from the gov
ernment.
Last winter Secretary Garfield en-
deavored to persuade congress to
amend the timber and stone act so a
to provide for the disposal of timber
lind at appraised value. When con
gress failed to act it was announced
that the secretary would do by regu
lntlon what congress had failed to do
by legislation. Today's order Is the
carrying out of (hat threat. Garfield's
order is not retroactive. It does not
affect any entry heretofore made. ,
