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

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.

CQmpnJes;-unnounced while here today
thataTrangeme$ts -have been made for
"VunnThg a 2009-Jpot tunnel at the Bald
Mountain, mine, The.tunn'el will strike
the ledge on the 900, 1100 and 1300-foot
Ifevels. If is. to be eight eet wide and.
seven feet hlgh with double track and

ore cars will be operated by electricity,
Thet power will be developed by water, of
which the company Is possessed of 1600
horsepower. 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

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. The men In the first place were
wanted on the charge of stealing some
cattle near Sweet Home, In this county.
Shaw was arrested after a desperate re
sistance, In which several shots were
fired, and a flesh wound received by him.
Pettljohn escaped, and was recently cap
tured near Prlnevllle. The evidence In
the cattle-stealing case being uncertain,
it was dropped, and the indictment made
for the larceny of several articles from
the residence of Mrs. Moss, at Holley.
Shaw came here from Idaho, two years
ago and Pettljohn has long had a bad
reputation In the Sweet Home country.
They will be among the largest men in the
penitentiary, one being 6 feet 2 inches In
height, the other 6 feet 3, and each weigh
ing 210 pounds.

BAPTISTS LESS LIBERAL
CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS
FALLING OFF.
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.

Waa Convicted of Larceny.
OLYMPIA, June 25. The Supreme
Court today granted a new trial to P.
J. Concannon, convicted In Pierce County
last year of grand larceny. Concannon
Is a detective and was for a long time
a member of the Tacoma police depart
ment, but at the time of his conviction
he was managing a private detective
agency. The case against blm and the
circumstances surrounding it attracted
considerable Interest at the time of his
arrest and trial. He was accused of as
sisting in stealing musical Instruments
to the value of $350 and his conviction
was secured through tue testimony of a
notorious character, one Joe Dunlap,
said to have ben an accomplice in the
theft. The state endeavored to show at
the trial that Concannon Induced Dun
lap to commit the theft in order that the
latter might be captured by Concannon,
and the detective "make a reputation"
thereby, the real thief having been prom
ised leniency. Dunlap was an opium
fiend, and referring to the testimony of
such people the Supreme Court says:
"The habitual use of opium by Dunlap
Is known to utterly deprave the victim
of its use and renders him unworthy of
belief."
