Evidence cf Fraud
Salem. Announcement lias t-een
made by ( P. Rabcoek. member of
the compensation commission, that
tiie checking of names on petitions,
asking for a reference of the compen
sation act to determine whether they
are bona fide has been completed, bat
that the matter of bringing a suit to
restrain the secretary of state from
putting the measure on the ballot is
problematical because of the lack of
funds.
"We found plenty of evidence of
fraud, and I believe that, had we the
money to gather evidence and prose
cute a suit, we could enjoin the sec
retary of state from putting the meas
ure on the ballot." said Mr. Bubcoek.

of slightly more than UH000, the big
sawmill and 1,000.000 feet of lumber,

WILL OPEN LAND TO ENTRY
Government to Hasten Classification
in Siuslaw Forest Section
Tortland. Because residents of the
lections of Tillamook, Lincoln and
Lane counties adjacent to the Siuslaw
national forest have been accusing the
fnited States forest service of delay
In opening agricultural lands within
the bounds of the reserve to settle
ment, the forest service has taken up
the matter of extensive land classifi
cation in that territory. The work
will be pushed forward, and If land Is
found which in the opinion of the ex
perts is more valuable as agricultural
land than as forest land, such terri
tory will be opened at onpe to home
steaders. The Saddle Mountain project In
cludes national forest lands in five
townships, located 15 miles southeast
of Waldport on Alsea bay, in western
Lane county. The total area in this
project, now to be classified. Is ap
proximately 61,000 acres. Much of
this land was patented as timber and
stone lands before the Siuslaw was
made a national forest in 1907.
As soon as the classification is com
plete, any lands which are found to
be chiefly valuable for agriculture and
not needed for public purposes will be
Immediately opened to settlement and
entry under the homestead lands.
