MOODY AND LEASE LAW
HARKBY MAX DOESNT LIKE REP
RESEXTATTVEtS COURSE.
Therefore He Urges the Nomination
of Williamson, in the Interest
of the Settlers.
BURNS, March 26. (To the Editor.)
I am a cattle-grower. In a small way, In
this (Harney) county, and a reader of your
valuable paper, and I see in the issue
thereof of the 14th inst. a dispatch in
which I find the following:
Los Angeles. Cal., March 13. William S. Mc
Cornlck. of Salt Lake, has telegraphed Senator
Thomas Kearns, of Utah,-at Washington, that
lie will accept the position of Secretary of the
Interior in President Roosevelt's Cabinet should
a vacancy occur through the resignation of
Secretary Hitchcock. "All that has been done,"
said McCornlck. "Is that Senators Kearns and
milliard have asked me whether I would accept
the place, and I answered that If the President
offered It I would accept."
In the same issue of your paper I find
the following- dispatch:
Washington, March 13. Senator Millard con
firmed the report that he had asked W. S. Mc
Cornlck If he would accept an appointment as
Secretary of the Interior, but said in doing so
he had acted entirely upon his own responsi
bility, and that h had not assumed to repre
sent the President or any one else. He added
that he had heard many rumors that there was
to be a vacancy at the head of the Interior
Department, and Mr. McCornlck being. In his
Judgment, especially suited for the place, he
asked him If he would accept It the place were
offered him. i
Upon inquiry I ascertain that Mr. Mil
lard, who is so hopelessly saturated with
rumors of a probable "vacancy" at the
Ihead ot the Interior Department and so
actively searching for a successor for Mr.
Hitchcock before Mr. Hitchcock has -even
Buggested that he is about to resign, or
before the President has even intimated
to him that he needs his advice on the
subject. Is the same Mr. Millard who, "by
(request," introduced In the United States
Senate what Is commonly known as the
"Millard bill," to lease the vacant pub
lic lands In a large portion of the "West,
which tdll is now pending In Congress,
and, among other obnoxious proposals,
provides that the Secretary of the In
terior shall have sole power to administer
Bald act and shall be authorized to per
form any and all acts, and to make such
miles and regulations as may be neces
sary for carrying the provisions of said
act into full force and effect,
Although Mr. Millard says he asked Mr.
McCornlck, "on his own responsibility,"
It strikes me that he may have forgotten
just how he came to ask Mr. McCornlck
to accept such high office, and that pos
sibly the "request" of the same party
(the American Cattle-Growers' Associa
tion) that Induced him to father and in
troduce said lease bill, also had some In
fluence in. .causing him to start out like
Japhet in search of a father, to find
some friend favorable to the leasing
fraud to construe, make rules for. and ad
minister the bill in case it should pass
in Congress.
I also learn, upon reliable authority,
that Mr. X.usk, of our French-Glenn live
stock Company, is also president of the
so-called American Cattle-Growers' Asso
ciation. sX whose request said bill was In
troduced. I further am reliably informed that
Mr. McCornlck, of Utah, although' he
spells his name with an "1", is a relative,
though distant, of Mr. Eugene A. McCor
nack, of Oregon, who for many years has
been and still is the land agent and at
torney of the French-Glenn Livestock
Company and its predecessors. And by
the way, I further learn that Mr. Eugene
A. Cornack is a brother-in-law of Mr.
Malcolm A, Moody, who claims to be an
anti-lease man, and who is now seeking
o. renoinlnation as Representative in Con
gress forthis state, yet who, in his letter
to the people of this district, which has
toeen syndicated in certain newspapers of
the state, shows that he has bent his
head to the great land lobby In "Washing
ton, and although he says he opposed cer
tain provisions In the bill, yet insists
we can't oppose the leasing of the public
lands as a measure, "though conceived in
iniquity," but that this power In favor
of -changing our manner of doing busi
ness, upsetting and doing away with the
safeguards thrown around the homestead
right and the free exploration and de
velopment of our public mineral lands by
(the poor, lonely, but wealth-disclosing
prospector, is so great that it "has sug
gested," which means threatened, the
members from the range district, that
they propose to force through Qongress
some leasing proposition, Jn fact get upon
the public domain some kind of a plaster
or broad-spreading blanket to retard the
"West in its settlement and development
by the homeseekers and homebullders,
whose attention now seems In a great
measure pointed this way, and that all
our members shall have the right to do
is to help them shape a bill. Does it not
appear as if .Mr. Moody was rather weak
kneed in the leasing scheme, and instead
of opposing the scheme itself has given
(way to the threat that we may only take
b. hand in shaping such a bill?
We also -notice in your issue of March
15 or 16 a picture of a fine-looker, Mr.
John B. Allen, of Seattle, "Wash., and
underneath the same the remark Mr. Al
len "is being urged by Senator Foster
as Secretary of the Interior in place of
the present Incumbent."
Now we have a remembrance that In
1900 this same Mr. Foster Introduced the
first bill to lease the public lands, and
it now appears as If he was also looking
for a fathe'r to administer, make rules
for, and enforce, the provisions of a lease
bill.
And we are all lead to npk why It is
that this endless chain of bill-drawers. re
Quest bill introducers, relative?, brothers-
in-law, and attorneys of already vast
land-owning corporations, are all, "upon
, their own responsibility." so earnestly,
each on his own hook, sec-king the ap
pointment of some one who may look
through their eyes in construing and en
forcing such bill as they might possibly
Jiave passed?
"What does it mean?
We suggest that this state wants no
limber-kneed Congressman on the leasing
question, and that we better nominate
und elect, regardless of party ties or af
filiation, men like Mr. J. N. Williamson.
Who, in 1900. before he sought the candi
dacy for Congress, announced his" position
in no uncertain language In your issue of
February 2, 1900, in closing which he said:
There may come a time in the distant future
when prudence will require some disposition of
the fragmentary remains of our public domain,
but let us wait until we are sure that nothing
Is left but fragmentary remains.
When, as yet, there are thousands, yes mil
lions of acres susceptible of being converted
Into homes, it Is too soon to begin parceling
out the public lands In large tracts.
What does it mean?
Does it mean that our Juan Hill,
rough-riding, and Western-loving Presi
dent Is, by this great lease power, to be
compelled to ask any one of his Cabinet
for his resignation, and to be forced to
fill his place with a man chosen by, and
- in sympathy with, that grasping power?
We believe, although a long way off,
we understand 6ome of the true and noble
principles that Inspire our loved Presi
dent and that when he chooses persons
to fill Vacancies in hU Cabinet he will
not do jt at the request of any American
land-grabbers' association or combination
that taxes each head of cattle and horses
of its members at the rate v of 2 cents
to raise a fund for some undisclosed pur
pose, or any association or combination
that is now, or may be, petitioning him
to stay and suspend the decrees of the
courts ordering destroyed the vast ln
closuTes of public land that have been
and are maintained in violation of a law
of the United States making such ln
closures unlawful.
We have faith to believe that our Presi
dent will be President, while he Is Presi
dent. JOSEPH I TURNER.
FROM COUNTY TREASURER
Replies to a Communication in The
Sunday Oregonlnn.'
PORTLAND, March 3L (To the Edi
tor.) The Sunday Oregonlan prints an
anonymous communication signed "In
quiring Taxpayer," in which some reflec
tions are cast upon the manner in which
the County Treasurer's office is conduct
ed. As a rule anonymous letters are be
neath notice and are only written for
some base or mischievous purpose, but
since you have seen fit to give "Inquir
ing Taxpayer's" communication seml-ln-dorsement
by publication I would ask you
to grant me space In which to publish
the following facts, which any taxpayer
honestly desiring Information could have
ascertained by calling at my office, where
the books are always open for Inspec
tion. On January 1, 1902, there was on hand
applicable to call warrants, as follows:
General fund $ 2,332 56
Roadfund 131 44
I received from Sheriff Frazier during
the month of March, 1902, as follows;

March 24, 1902 637,134 33
Total ?999,522
Of the $999,522 75, the apportionment
the different funds was as follows:

(N. B. I overcalled warrants on March
12 $40,415 55, In anticipation of tax re
ceipts from Sheriff. The balance, $342S 77,
Is due to the fact that the amount was
not large enough to call warrants in
dorsed July 1, 190L)

Amount of county and road war

The mind of your correspondent Is
doubtless confused by the various funds.
As shown above there was on March 30
but $4160 50 on hand applicable to tlje pay
ment of -uncalled county and road war
rants. The balance of the money In the
hands of the Treasurer belongs to the
state and school funds, and will be paid
over when due under the law. The state
money Is paid half on May 1 and half
Ortnhpr 1. And thr srhnnl mnnpv la nnnnr.
tloned in April and will be paid when j
called for.
It has been my purpose and desire since
I have been County Treasurer to save the
county every cent of interest that was
possible, and I have called In warrants
as fast as I had any money In the funds
which I could draw on, and have even
called ahead in anticipation of receipts.
My Interest Is not only as County Treas
urer but also as a taxpayer, and If your
unknown correspondent can show me
above his signature how I can call war
rants faster I should be under many ob
ligations to him for his kindness.

TO CANCEL TAX LIENS.
Judiciary Committee Decides to Re
port Bronaugh Ordinance.
At the meeting of the judiciary commit
tee yesterday it was decided to recom
mend the passage of an ordinance intro
duced by Bronaugh at the Jast meeting
of the Council. This ordinance provides
for canceling all apparent Hens for taxes
levied by the former municipalities of
Portland, East Portland, Alblna and Sell
wood, down to and Including those levied
for the year 18S7, upon property upon
which all city taxes have been paid or
shall be paid for the years 18S8 to 1902. in
clusive. It must be understood, however, uiat
the ordinance does not apply to street
liens or sewer assessments, but only to
general taxes.
The ordinance regulating the plumbing,
ventilating and drainage of buildings and
to provide for the registration of plumbers
was not taken up by the health and police
committee, the Inspector of Plumbing not
being present.

A CREEK FULL OF GOLD
RICH 3IINTXG DISTRICT IN JOSE.
PHINE COUNTY.
Placers and Quartz Mines on the
Gallce Produce Annually
$40,'00O to $50,000.
Gallce Creek, Josephine County, Ore
gon, has for years been one of the prin
cipal gold producing districts In the
West. Lying between the Cascade and
Coatt Mountains with the California
Range on the north and the Slsklyous on
the south, Is a rich body of mineral land
on which to day more work and money
is being expended In the equipment of
hydraulic mines than In any district of
eoual size In the world. All the essential
features required In placer mining, rich
ground, plenty of rain, timber and a mild
and healthful climate, are found In this
district.
This particular creek was discovered
In 1S51 by a Frenchman named Xiouls
Gallce, who with six others was mur-
dered by the Indians. However, the rich
ness of the claims soon became known,
and hundreds flocked to the new dis
covery, coming over the mountains from
Crescent City and other points in Cali
fornia. It is possible that every ledge and
gravel bar on the creek and In the sur
rounding hills was known of within a
very few years. Quite i town sprang up
at the mouth of the creek, and the camp
flourished and prospered while the bed
of the creek was being relieved of Its
golden treasure. At that time only a
few boulders lay on the bed rock of the
stream, and It was only necessary to
turn the stream through ditches or flumes
and clean out the crevasses. Thousands
and thousands of dollars were taken out
In this way In a few years, after which
the miners commenced working the bars
and benches along the stream and Its
tributary gulches, dumping their tailings
and from 20 to 30 .per cent, of their value
Into the bed of the creek.
When the Frazer River excitement
broke aut the camp was almost deserted,
and several companies of Chinamen
took advantage of their opportunities
and for a year or two were left undis
turbed In their rich possessions. But
the men returning drove them out and
commenced to revive the conditions of
early days.
The large ledges running through the
country have each had a boom and
though containing rich values, the placer
mines have kept up the standing of the
camp.
Several pioneers are still contentedly
at work there- The Green brothers who
have owned every mine In the district
are now developing a very promising
fhiartz ledge. They owned at one time
and practically equipped the mine re
cently sold to the Old Channel Mining
Company for $90,000, and upon which
nearly $50,000 has been spent. Charles
Sanders, whose fortunes have also flucu
ated with those of the camp. Is now liv
ing a quiet life after years of "mule
punching" on a little farm and peach
orchard on the banks of the Rogue River.
William Crow, also the possessor of a
prize peach orchard, Is a veteran of many
Indian skirmishes. He erected a saw
mill at thq mouth of Taylor Creek in
the early days to supply lumber for the
booming towns of Galice. He alno built
a wagon road along the river connecting
the. mill with the camp.
Along the creek there are several plac
ers In operation. The principal ones be
ing the Green and Harmon group and
those of Cousins and Atkinson, now the
property of the St Helens & Gallce
Mining Company. The former owners
have spent thousands of dollars In con
solidating and equipping this property,
and the new company will Immediately
install a water power sawmill to supply
them with lumber for future operations.
The creek Is peculiarly situated for ex
tensive operations, there being no fishing,
farming or navigation interests to inter
fere as in most places In California where
good mines are shut down on that' ac
count. The plan deemed favorable by engineers
for years, that of working the entire
creek bed over again, which Is richer now
than at first, will undoubtedly enrich a
company that can control the entire creek
and concentrate the water through high
ditches affording pressure necessary for
successful operations.
Gallce Creek Is producing now from
$40,000 to $50,000 per -season, which means
only about six or seven months, most of
which goes to the mint and smelters
of California, and consequently swells the
output of that state to the detriment
.of Oregon.

scholars in all parts of the world. Mr.
Burnham was senior astronomer at 'the
Lick Obsep'atory in California 'when he

TO CLEAR SIDEWALKS.
Inspectors Llllls and Murphy Begin
Crnsade Against Obstrnctions.
Sidewalk Inspectors LiUIs and Murphy,
who were authorized by City Engineer
Chase to enforce the ordinance prohibit
ing the obstruction of sidewalks, began
their labors yesterday. They visited a
number of places in the business district
and they found the majority of the mer
chants willing to comply with the law.
This was especially true In the matter of
bicycle racks. Many merchants said the
racks had been placed outside their doors
without their consent, and they were glad
to have the obstructions removed. Mr.
Llllls said that during his travels he
learned that about two-thirds of the bl-
cycle racks In the city were owned by
the proprietors of bicycle stores and car
ried advertisements of wheels. Com
paratively few of them were used by
wheelmen, and the lnsnectni-K Intnnrt tn
L secure an express wagon today and
gainer up an or tnem tnat are unclaimed.
The ordinance also Includes In the list
of obstructions beer kegs, theatrical sign
boards, bootblack signs, barber poles,
woodpiles and market and store displays.
The grocers and fish and game dealers
have" been allowed a space of two feet for
displays, but they have been In the habit
I seen by the Inspectors yesterday said they
uuiu n.eep wunin ine two-root limit and
they were pleased to learn that the mat
ter had been taken up by the city au
horltles. Except In Isolated localities
beer kegs have not caused much com
plaint, but they will have to follow the
unclaimed bicycle racks. The sign
boards and poles will be next In order,
and then the Inspectors will have strenu
ous work, for they will have to start In
on the woodpiles.
ANNUAL PARISH MEETINGS
Trinity, St. Dnvld's and St. Mark's
Elect OUlcers.
The annual meeting of the congregation
of Trinity Episcopal Church was held last
night, and vestrymen were elected for the
ensuing year as follows: John McCraken.

Gllsan. A meeting of the vestry will be
held this morning and a warden, clerk
and treasurer will be appointed. The
matter of renairinir the rntrvVi rr-ivi
pwas recently damaged by fire, was 'brought
up ana was referred to the vestry. It la
not probable that the vestry will take
any action until the iosa ls-adjusted. The
adjusters have estimated the damage to
the building and contents at $9000, but
some members of the vestry think this
sum will go but a short way in paying
for the repairs.
St. David's Episcopal.
The annual parish meeting of St. Da
vid's Episcopal Church was held last
evening, 'and the following vestrymen
elected: Dr. S. E. Joseph!, A. L. Tyler,

B. Kennell, treasurer; Dr. S. E. Joseph,
A. L. Tyler and John Seeley, executive
and building committee; F. W. Berry,
Captain F. H. West and J. G. Royle,
finance committee. Reports received from
the executive committee and the treasurer
showed a very favorable balance, that
will be devoted to the building of the new
church and also indicated that the af
fairs of the church were progressing very
favorably In every way.
