i TE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1901. OREGON HAS ADVANTAGE BIJIS-JCASf : BE BBIIT CHEAPER HERB THAX AT BATH, ME. Salem Man Thinks It Would Re- quire Little Effort to Secure Removal of Plant. SALEM, Or., June-25 A. T. Kelliher, a TPell-known timber-land cruiser, of Sa lem, has just returned trom the East, where he- went about four months ago, to sell timber lands. "While he "was gone !Mr. Kelliher YisJjted Maine, Massachusetts, 2Cew York,, Michigan, 'Wisconsin, Minne sota and deer, states; Hts dealings were PTlnclpally-'A'tith; men'.whn are. heavily In terested Incumbering. shipbuilding pr tim ber land '&$&iIa.tiop.J biit he had oppor timitiviq.mfcet Inrfm at all occupations. Mri Kellllter says as soon as Eastern pedplfe flnd that a man is from the Coast they jpiy ITm.-wJth questions .regarding thfe country Aid; tlte OpjortuhiUes for hofflemakln)rthe investment of capital. Ha -found people better informed on the State, of yas"hlngton than on Oregon, and qulteiiaurapy" they -have formed the more 'favorable pnfhlon ofthe northern state. However, , Mr. Kelliher says Ore son is getting no sniall share of the Im migration now coming to the Coast, al though the people here do not notice the Increase In their population. Oregon. Js a big. state, with plenty of Vacant Jand, and a thousand families 'can come and make their homes In the valleys and on the prairies within its boundaries. As Clerk M. L.. Chamberlain, of the State X.and Office, remarked recently, the state alone has sold nearly 100 improved farms to Eastern people who have brought their families here, but this fact would pass unobserced but for a reference to the transactions of the office. As Mr. Kelli her says, because we are making very little noise, it must not be concluded that there Is no Increase In the population of Oregon. When asked what he thought of the future of the timber land business In Ore gon, Mr. Kelliher safd much of the land recently bought In Oregon has gone into the hands of people who want to hold It. They bought the land cheap and by its Increase in value have made enormous for tunes, which will continue to grow until their descendants will inherit thereby al most Imperial wealth. But not all the timber land has been purchased with a view to holding it, as a time investment. Pacific Coast lumber is known in the East, and in every large lumber yard west of Maine and north of the Ohio River, "may be found products of Ore gon and Washington forests. Most of the Coast lumber shipped East is in the form of long, heavy timbers, for use in bridges, docks, etc Thus far Washington has se cured the most of this Eastern trade, but Oregon timber is becoming better known, and Is recognized as being of as good a lually as that of Washington. Charles Gilbert, a prominent lumbering man of lPuluth, Mnn., has Invested Jn 25,000 acres tof timber land Jn Tillamook County, and also In large tracts in Washington. In conversation with Mr. Kelliher he did not hesitate to state that he considered the Oregon timber the best in quality. Mr. Kelliher spent considerable time in Bath, Me., a city that turns out more "wooden sailing vessels, tonnage consid ered, than iny city in the world. The ma terials Tor the building of these vessels are brought from Maine. Canada, Oregon and Florida. Practically all the materials tor the building of such a vessel In Ore gon can be found almost at the water's edge. Mr. Kelliher figured carefully on the comparative cost of shipbuilding In Maine and In Oregon, and arrived at the conclusion that the cost here would be but two-thirds as much as It is in Maine. He therefore feels confident that within a few years some of the large shipbuild ing firms of Bath, Me., will move their plants to the Coast. He thinks it would Tequlre but little effort to induce some of these concerns to come here now and use Oregon materials and Oregon labor in the building of wooden sailing vessels. In any event, however, as the timber in the Eastern States becomes more scarce, the development of lumber manufactories on the Coast will steadily Increase, and the forests will become the great wealth pro ducers pf this section of the country. When .asked whether Eastern capitalists will continue to Invest in Oregogn timber lands. Mr. Kelliher quoted Howard M. de- Laittre. vice-president of the Bovey deLalttrc Lumber Company, of Minneap olis, as saying that since the -white pine timber lands in the Northwest are cor nered, atid are 'p'ractically all In the hands of capitalists, -who can and -will hold them tfntil they get the price at which they think the lands should sell, the price -will never go any lower; and as the opportun ity for Investing in such lands is prac tically exhausted, he believed 75 per cent of the money realized from the sale of -white pine stumpage In the next few years would be re-Invested In other timber lands on the Coast. He estimates that the money realized on white pine stumpage in the Northwest, in the next few years, will amount to J30O.COO.O00 pear year. Men who have been making from 10 to 50 per cent per annum on their timber-land In vestments will never be content to put their money Into bonds or other gllt-edgo Securities, which yield a profit of only 2V4 to 4 per cent. They will continue to look for timber land Investments, and conse quently the activity in timber-land trans- actions, and Jn the development, of the Jumberlng Industry will steadily increase. Mr. Kelliher will remain In Oregon about fix weeks to make the formal transfers of some large tracts of timber Hand ho hn sold recently, and will then return to the' East. fBHAI,BM KIVER CHARTER. 'P6tInnil Company May Intend to Start n City nt Mouth of Stream. 'ST. HELENS. Or.. June 23.-Joseph Gas tonA president. R H. Kllham, secretary, -and W. T. Webber, surveyor of the New" York & Oregon Coal & Timber Cbm- tPanj of "Portland, have filed In the office 'of the County Clerk a map and charter of the?Cehalem River and jts tributaries within the bounds of Columbia County. The impression Is general here that the company has taken out this charter with 'the Intention of starting a city at the mouth of the Nehalem River, and will put in saw mills and shingle mills- to work Aip the raw material as it shall be floated down the Nehalem River. The New York and Oregon Coal Com. pany was organized several months be fore the session of the Legislature which enacted the law under which the com pany Claims the exclusive right to fix rates of toll for logging on the Nehalem "River. When first organized, the company was going to build a railroad into the Nehalem Valley, and sought by various means to control the timber of the valley, even trying to get options to the amount of 50,000 acres, which it promised to buy. Another view is that Mr. Gaston and his company are seeking to control the Nehalem River for their own accommoda tion and gain. OREGON HEADS THE LIST. Tt 3Ia Best Mineral Exhibit at the JfJn-nAmeriean Exposition. BAKER CTTX June 25. From Colonel EmmettiCallahan;"wh.o has Just- returned tb.

Fifty men are working, on this property. The Mammouth- mine, which is near the Bald Moutnain, is working 25 men. Over 2500 feet of development work has been done, and preparations are being made for sinking a shaft of 1500 leet. Electricity will be the power used about the Mam mouth, the same as at the Bald Moun tain. Stamp Mill to Be Erected. The Gray's Peak Gold Mining Com pany, which recently purchased the Maiden's Dream and Devil's Dream mines, near Suropter, is arranging for the erec tion of a stamp mill. The two claims were sold for $18,000 each. Some 1300 feet of development work has been done. SCALP BOUNTY WARRANTS. Indication Are That the Appropri ation Will Prove None Too Large. SALEM, Or., June 25. Under the pro visions of the new scalp bounty law, the counties pay the scalp bounties In the first ' Instance, and at each term of the County Court send to the Secretary of State an account of the" amount so ex pended, whereupon the Secretary of State draws a warrant for two-thirds of the amount. Thus the county pays one-third and the state two-thirds. Up to the present time the state has paid out by the; Issuance of warrants on this fund the sum of $3425 29. This shows, there fore, that the counties and the state to gether have paid out $M,f3? 92. When the law went Into effect there were al ready some coyote scalps in the hands of those who had killed the animals, and It is restlmated that the amount expend ed tflus far represents the bounties taken during a period of four and one-half months. At this rate the total lor a year would be $37,701 12, of which the state's shire would be $25,134 OS. The state appropriation is $25,000 per annum, or $50,000 for a period of two years. In some of the counties court is not held every month, so there may be quite an accummulation of scalps that have not been reported. On the other hand, it may be that many of those presented soon after the law went Into effect were taken early in the year. These figures indicate, however, that the demand upon the state scalp bounty fund under the new law promises to about equal the ap propriation. The scalp bounty war rants Issued under the old law are being paid off with the proceeds of the special 1-mlll tax levied by the Legislature for that purpose. Sentenced to the Penitentiary. ALBANY, Or.. Juno -25. Thurston Petftl john and Frank Shaw, In the Circuit Court this morning, pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny from a dwelling, and were sentenced to the penitentiary' for one year.

ARE Speaker Before Willamette Ao elation Said Too Much Empha sis Waa Pat on Baptism. SALEM, June 25. At the opening of the Willamette Baptist Association this morn ing, the report of the nominating com mittee was received, and by Its adoption Deacon W. W. Brooks, of Portland, was chosen moderator and Rev. C. A. Nut ley clerk. The report on home missions was read by Rev. Ray Palmer, and this was followed with an address by Rev. C. A. Wooddy on the work of the Home Missionary Society. A general discussion of the subject was participated in by Rev. J. H. Beaven, Rev. G. R. Varney, Rev. C. A. Nutley, Mrs.. Ray Palmer and Rev. W. E. Hopkins. The report on home missions was adopted. Devotional exercises, consisting of sing ing, prayer and Scripture reading, were conducted by Rev. A. W. Rider. The report on education was read by Rev. J. H. Beaven and aiscussed by Revs. Wooddy, Hunsaker, Varney and Bliss. Rev S. K. Delble presented the report 'on rellsjous literature, and after a discussion by R,evs. Lapham, Edmunds and Wooddy, the forenoon session was closed with prayer by Rev. W. E. Hopkins. The substance of the report on educa tion is that "our educational Interests as a denomination In this association are bound up solely In McMlnnvllIe College, and for this Institution we feel ourselves In duty obligated to work and pray." The work of the college Is given un stinted praise and It is made a matter of special commendation that the school has arranged for a course In theology. During the day a little leaflet on the subject of home missions was distributed among the delegates. It is a presentation of figures in behalf of the state missions under control of the state convention. It shows that In the year 1900 the average contributions to state missions was 23 cents per capita. These statistics are fol lowed with a showing that the contribu tions are decreasing and the question is asked: "How long will it take to evange lize Oregon at this rate?" On the last page of the leaflet are the following "Facts to Remember:" "Oregon became a state In 1859. "It has a population of 413,532. "It has 6S21 Baptists In co-operation with our convention. "The Home Mission Society sent Us first missionary to Oregon in November, 1845. "The society has spent here about $133,579 for missionary work, and for build ing churches, $10,800. "The society gives for 1900-01, $2 for every $1 given by us, the limit being $6000 from the society. "We nave under appointment 30 mis sionaries, with aver $8000 voted for their support. "We have a debt of $1835 84, drawing 6 per cent Interest. i "New and destitute fields are calling for aid, and Christ bids us send them the gospel. "One dollar from every Baptist would wipe out our debt, pay our missionaries, and enable us to go forward to keep pace with the spirit of the twentieth century and the speed of God's love." At the afternoon session Deacon. W. W. Brooks presided as moderator. After singing and prayer Rev. F. C. Stanard read a report on the "State Con vention." This report was adopted with out discussion. Rev. George R.. Varney was the next speaker, addressing the association on the report on foreign missions. He said the Baptists put too much emphasis upon the form of baptism to the neglect of other matters of Just as vital Interest to the Lord's cause. He presented large col umns of statistics showing that in the matter of contributions for the spread of the gospel, the different denominations stand in this order: Presbyterian North, Congregational, Methodist North, Baptist, etc., placing the Baptist Church fourth in the list. It might be said that the Bap tists should not be expected to give as much as the other denominations, whose members are known to be on the average more wealthy. He admitted that this might have some weight as to the Pres byterians and Congrcgatlonallsts, but said the Methodists are no more able to give than the Baptists. To show further that the Baptists are not helping in the spread of the gospel as much as are other denominations, he produced other statistics to show that in contributions per capita and per hundred dollars of church property, the Baptist Church stands nlqth .in the list. These statistics did not please the speaker, and he wanted to know -whether Baptists were consistent In permitting eight denominations who were held to be disloyal to the teachings of the gospel to excel them In the work of spreading that gospel. Rev. W. Hopkins, formerly a missionary In India, gave a lively description of the condition of the work in that field. The afternoon session closed with five-minute addresses by Revs, Palmer, Beaven and Varney. This evening Rev. C. A. Wooddj preached a doctrinal sermon, taking as a tent "God So Loved the World," etc. A grea fact, a great act, a great compact, were the three thoughts around which the sermon clustered a great fact, God loved the world; a great act, God gave his Son; a great compact, that whosoever would, believe on him might have eternal life. The world recognizes the existence and power of God and yearns for bis love, said Rev. Mr. Wooddy. but would never have known it If he had not revealed it In this great act; In this act we have the assurance of our salvation. OREGON CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.

State Superintendent Ackerman and Superintendent Roblnnon, off Multnomah, Principal Speakers. SALEM, Or., June 25. The second day's session of the Marlon County teachers' Institute- opened with a greatly increased attendance, 170 teachers being present It is noticeable that the plan of holding all the sessions In one room, Instead of divid ing the teachers into classes, la a good one, and adds in no small degree tV) tho Interest and effectiveness of the institute. The teachers attend promptly and. remain nntll the close of each session. Each teacher gets the benefit' of all the lectures, and each speaker has the advantage of a good-sized audience. The work of the in stitute partakes, more of the nature of lectures than of Individual instruction In the details of the various subjects. Superintendent of Public Instruction Ackerman was not able to be present at the sessions yesterday, as he was away from the city, working In the effort to bring the National Editorial Association to Portland In 1902. He was present to day, however, and gave an Instructive ex planation of many of the new features of thfr public school act, passed by the last Legislature. Superintendent Robinson, of Multnomah County, addressed, the teachers upon the prlnclplo of phonics and upon" the subject "2x4-8." In this latter discussion be Il lustrated many effective uses, for this equation In almost all mathematical com putations, In which factors are or have been used.
