port of the Army Board recommending:
Vancouver Barracks as one of the per
manent military posts, and that the post
accommodate a. full regiment of 12 compa
nies of Infantry and two batteries of ar
tillery, "will necessitate the erection of new

Improvements. The present barracks were

fantry in time of peace about TOO men.
Under tho new order the capacity of the
barracks will necessarily need to be more
than doubled.

Its attractiveness to visitors, has always
furnished an Important source of revenue
to Vancouver In that It gives employment

General Dn'In today received a letter
from Colonel E. E. Brit ton, of New York
City, chalrmun of the executive commlt
t e of the Interstate National Guard As

that every indication now seems to point
to the passage of the bill before Congress
for the Increased efficiency of the Na
tional Guard. In connection with the
work of the Interstate National Guard
Association, a meeting of which was held
lat month Ir Washington, D. C. Gen
eral Drln said:
Tho work of harmonizing the views
of dtlegstos from practically all of the
state, in the Union was one Involving
considerable labor and patlerro. The
.-titid talven by the delegates from all ot
the far Western States was practically
th same, but tho proposed legislation was
fr the country at lirgo. and not for one
section, therefore, it had to bo made gen-c-al
in its character. General C L'.
Gantenbein. Adjutant-General of Oregon,
who was elected one of the vIce-prcM-der-ts
of tho association, rendered par
ticularly valuaole prrvicc In the conven
t.or. Ills knowledge ot military matters
is not only good, but he Is a lawyer Qf
abllitv with a comprehen.lve grasp ot
any difficult Io;al question. Those of us
from the West certainly had no occa
sion to feel otherwise than proud of the
part tnkn In the proceedings of the con

PROVIDES RELIEF FOR SETTLERS.
Price "Which Applies to Those Hold
ing Lands in All Reserve.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. Senator Clark,
of Montana, has introduced a bill, gen
eral in character, for the relief of settlers
who have relinquished to the Govern,
ment title to certain lands for which
they held patent, and failed to secure
patent on other tracts In lieu thereof.
The bill provides that such settlers shall
be permitted by the General Land Office
to recover title to the original tracts re
linquished, or in event adverse claims
have beeu filed in the meantime, that
they shall be allowed to complete lieu
selections.
This bill was suggested by the action of
the department In the cases of a large
number of settlers who held title to lands
In that portion of the Olympic forest re
serve which was opened to settlement by
order of the President some time ago.
These settlers, believing their lands were
still Included In the reserve, not know
ing of the Presidential order, relinquished
title thereto, and sought to make lieu se
lections. When their cases were taken
up it was found that the original tracts,
being no longer in. the reserve, did not
constitute lieu base, hence the settlers
had no right to make lieu selections. Yet
these settlers had turned over to the Gov
ernment their title to the original hold-
lngs, under a misapprehension, and by the
decision of the department were left
without any lands whatever. The Gov
ernment requires that settlers shall re
linquish title to lands In a reserve be
fore they can make selection of other
lands in lieu thereof.
It Is this evil that Senator Clark pro
poses to cure. His bill provides that
where settlers, living on tracts which
they believe to be In a reserve, but which,
unbeknown to them, have been excluded
and the settlers are in consequence un
able to peffect a lieu selection, they shall
be entitled to recover the original tract
relinquished. In some Instances of this
character, however, the settlers find that
their original holding has been claimed
by another party, while they are at
tempting to make a lieu selection. In
cases of this sort tho Clark bill provides
that the settlers shall be allowed to per
fect lieu selections. Senator Clark says
the practice of forcing the settler to re
linquish title to one tract before he can
secure, title to another, while safeguard
ing the Government, rather takes ad
vantage of the settler, and he proposes
that those who act In good faith shall
not be injured In cases of the kind In
question. His bill is general in character,
and applies to all reserves, but was in
stigated at the request of settlers on
that portion of the Olympic reserve who
had been made to lose their entire hold
ings because they had no knowledge of
the order of the President withdrawing
their lands from the boundaries of the
reservation. There Is every probability
that the bill will become a law.
Foster and Hay Talce thr Matter Up.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Some 50 years
ago Matilda and William Burch. it Is al
leged, deposited a considerable sum of
money In a bank In Paris, or that the
money was deposited to the credit, at
least, of the Burches, and has never been
withdrawn. The matter of endeavoring
to secure the return of this money has
been taken up by James H. Causten, of
Sitka, Alaska, formerly a resident ot
Port Townsend. Wash. The matter has
been submitted to the Consul-General at
Paris, through Senator Foster, the re
quest for formal action having been made
on Secretary Hay by the Senator. Mr.
Hay feels that it Is doubtful, considering
the lapse of time. If the eiesired Informa
tion can be secured without specific and
detailed Information being filed by the
Interested parties.

secretary of the Consolidated Virginia
mine, which recently sold out to the Vir
tue Mining Company, has been In the
city for several days, arranging the de
tails of the transfer and receiving the
final payment of J10.0-W. Mr. Ferguson is
a prominent mining man of the Tintic
mining district in Utah, who has had
years of experience In the various mining
camps of the West. In speaking of the
mines of Eastern Oregon. Mr. Ferguson
slid there was greater inducement for
the investment of capital In the mines of
Eastern Oregon than any ellstrlct he was
familiar with. Mr. Ferguson says the
metal market can never affect the out
put of the mines here, because they aro
nearly all gold properties, and gold Is
the bislc metal of tho world's financial
system. Copper comes next to gold In
this regard. In the opinion of Mr. Fergu
son: therefore the valuevof the mines of
this region will always be stable and
fixed.

yesterday lynched Tim Townsend, sus

to lynch Townsend If they could get
their hands on him. Constable, Hun

Monday, with Townsend In custody, for

through Uklah, as they had fears that
the stockmen would carry out their

DELAY ON NEW CAPITOL
AVASHIXGTON nUILDING MAY NOT
BE C03IPLETED BY JANUARY.
In That Event," State Will Have Good
Dnninge Claim ttnc.ntlon ns to
Who Is Liuble.
OLYMPIA. AVnsh.. Feb. 12. The State
Capitol Commission has about come to the
conclusion that the Capitol annex cannot
be completed in time for the next session
of the Legislature, and It will be fortu
nate, indeed, if the halls of the House and
Senate are so far atlvanccd as to allow
the members to meet therein in January
next. Up to its last meeting the com
mission had hope that by properly rushing
the work of construction, the building
would be completed, buc since then that
hope has vanished. This fact has led
the Governor and other Commissioners to
consider the question of what recourse
the .state has in a monetary way. It is
known that the contractor Is under a
heavy bond to complete the work on time,
and for each day he prolongs It after Octo
ber 1 'he Is under a penalty of $50 a day.
But should the Goss Company make a
showing in court to the effect that It Is
not" to blame for the delay, the state must
look elsewhere to locate the blame. The
supervising architect Is also under a
heavy bond. The commission fixed, the
architect's bond at J30.0QO and the security
Is of the best, being In one of the largest
bonding companies In the United States,
and here is where the corr.uilsslon may
look to geteven for the delay. The con
struction company's bond Is for $163,000.
and the bondsmen comprise such heavy
capitalists as Colonel Griggs and Leonard
Howarth. of Tacoma. Should the blame
be finally laid at the door of the Goss
Company, it will be apparent that the
state has some hopes of getting even In
that direction, while should It bo proven
that Mr. Ritchie did not have the neces
sary steel plans ready when demanded by
the contractor, It will be seen that his
bond is .large enough to reimburse the
