SALEM. Nov. 20. (Special.) The pro
ceedings for the creation of 100,000 acres
of "base" in Eastern Oregon, made
public through The Oregonlan dispatches
from Baker City, disclose the further
fact thatjhe State of Oregon has entered
upon a policy .of attempting to avoid Its
own deeds by using, as "base," lands
which It has already sold. If the state
shall contlnueits present course regard
ing mineral base, titles to hundreds of
tracts of school lands heretofore sold by
the state will be rendered unsound arjd
hereafter no man can claim title to school
land through the mere fact that he has
a deed from the state. As it is commonly
expressed, tho state has begun sellingts
land twice finst selling the land In place
at $1 25 per acre, and then permitting
base hunters to condemn the land' as
mineral; whereupon the state renounces
Its claim to the land, relinquishes it to
the Government, selects other land in
lieu of it and sells the lieu land to an
other purchaser. The first purchaser Is
ousted from possession and given back his
51 25 per acre, with interest at 6 per cent.
"If a- private individual should do what
the state is doing, he would' be branded as
a fraud." said a. prominsnt man yester-,
day, who has had considerable-to do with
state land matters.
If ythe state is to continue the policy
now entered- upon, it should at once give
notice to the general public that any man
who accepts a conveyance of school land
based upon a deed from the state must do
so at the risk of being ousted by the state
at sbme later time, unless he knows be
yond question that there' Is no mineral
upon the land.
Ilovr Scheme la Worked.
The manner in which a purchaser from
the state may be ousted under this lieu
land scheme may be stated in the form of
an illustration: John Smith finds school
'land that he believes to be worth the
price the state asks for it. He pays the
amount required, and receives either a
certificate of sale or a deed. He sells It
to a newcomer from the East, and it
passes through the hands of several per
sons who rely upon the deed or certificate
of sale from the state as an absolutely
safe title. Finally some operator in "base"
lands discovers that this land has mineral
on it. Ho begins proceedings to adjudi
cate Its mineral character, publishes his
notices in some obscure paper, and gets
his decision from the Federal Land De
partment without the owner of the land
knowing anything about It. This done,
he asks the State Land Agent to permit
him to use this land as "base," and the
request Is granted. This land which has
already been sold by the state Is then sur
rendered by the state to the general Gov
ernment, and the state takes other land
Instead. Some new purchaser, who has
paid the base hnnter $1 50 per acre for the
base, gets a deed to the lieu land and the
first purchaser finds himself a trespasser
on Government land. If he will come
to Salem and surrender his deed, the state
will give him back his 51 25 per acre and
interest, but he is out his improvements.
This is a policy the state has recently
adopted and It has been, brought to light
by the protest made In Baker City. A
large quantity of the 100,000 acres, which
It .was sought to have adjudicated has al
ready been sold by the state and In an
swer to inquiries State Land Agent L. B
Geer Informs The Oregonlan correspon
dent that If the land should be declared to
be mineral he would use It as base for
the selection of lieu land. In other words,
he would make application, over the sig
nature of Governor Geer, to relinquish the
state claim to this land, and take other,
land Instead. On the face of It, this pro
ceeding would seem to be a breach of
faith with the first purchaser and The
Oregonlan correspondent inquired how the
state could lend Itself to such a scheme.
Mr. Geer replied that the state never ac
quires title to mineral land. The general
Government gave the state every 16th and
SGth section, except mineral lands, etc.
Now, if a ICth or 3Gth section be mineral,,
the state does not acquire title to it and
cannot give title. A man who wants to
buy school land should first ascertain
whether it te minerl, and if it Is, he Js
presumed to .know the law and should
not buy It.
State Doesn't Support Its Deeds.
According to Mr. Gcer's view 'of the
matter, the state does not give up the
land nor take any part In the adjudi
cation by which the land is declared to
be mineral. Some private individual
snows the facts to the Government land
officials and the Government "wrests"
the land from the state. Sincp the land
has been "wrested" from the state, the
state has a right to take other land In
lieu of it, and has a right to sell the
lieu land.
"But don't you think the stae should
protect the man- who holds a deed from
the state, to the extent, at least, of chine
the first purchaser nqtlce that the state
is about to oust-him?" wrs asked.
"The purchaser does have notice I
through the publication .required by the
Government land officials. This is all
the notice that can be given. We do not
have 'the 'address of the owner of tho
land, and If the original certificate of
sale has been assigned we do not even
know who owns the land. The law re
quires notice by publication, and that is
air the holder of the'-certificate or deed
is entitled to."
"Then a man who buys land from the,
eta to must read all the obscure country
weekly papers near Ills land in order to
know whether some man is trying to con
demn his land as mineral?"
"Ye3, sir."
"Don't you think the state ought to
protect its' purchasers-?" .
"No, sir; the Government doesn't pro
tect homesteaders or other, persons who
take public land. If a man takes timber
land under tho homestead laws he Is
liable to lose it in a ctfntest In which his
only notice is given through a newspaper.
The state should tio no more than the
Government does." '
Not Honorable Practice.
This explanation seems to meet the ob
jection to the' policy of dispossessing
purchasera from the state, yet few will
be found who will say that the state, is
acting honorably toward those who hold
Its deeds when it aids or quietly permits
base hunters to step in and take the
lands once sold. It would seem that the
state should cither not give a deed in
the first Instance, or, having given It,
the state is in honor bound to defend
that deed, at least to -the extent of refus
ing to be a party to the proceedings by
which it is made void.
As quoted above. State Land Agent Geer
says that the state Is not a party to the
adjudication by which the land is "wrest
ed" from the state. That may be true,
but General W. H. Odell, who conducts
the adjudication proceedings, has his
desk -in the office of State Land Agent
L. B. Geer, in the Statehouse, the state
encourages the adjudication .proceedings
and has recently raised the price of lieu
land, excepting those lands secured upon
mineral base adjudicated or In process of
adjudication, and the Governor makes the
application by which the lieu land Is se
lected from the base thus created. Be
sides all this the state makes $1 25 per
acre by the transaction by which it
throws out one purchaser and lets In an
other. It may be that the state is not
a party to the transaction, but the man
who gets thrown out will always have a
more or less persistent belief that the
state had something to" do with the deal.
General Odell tells The Oregonlan cor
respondent that in adjudications upon the
character of land, the question is not
whether the land Is more valuable for its
mineral deposits than for Its timber or
agricultural resources. If the land can
be shown to be mineral in character it
will tie so declared, even though Ht may
also carry a wealth of timber or be per
fectly adapted to farming." A man who
buys state school land is not safe, there
fore, in ascertaining that the tract he
wishes to buy is chiefly valuable for its
timber, or that it will make a good farm.
He must determine that it is not mineral
land.
In all the years that the state has been
selling school land, it has never given
purchasers warning that they must guard
against buying land which has mineral
upon It. The 'state has pretended to the
public that It had a right to sell any
school section, and school land has been
bought and sold with 'that understand
ing. Men who are in a position to know
say that hundreds of tracts of school land
have been sold because they had timber

COUP BY THE RAILROADS

DISMAY IN THE nVBRIDE CAMP
Plans of the Anti-Commission Forces
Not Likely to Fail, Unless Senator
Smith Should Witndravr In Or
der to Help Preston.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 0. (Special.)
Inthe .indorsement of Senator J. J. Smith,
of King County, by the railroad forces
for President of the Senate, the railroads
have gained what Is considered a signa'i
victory over Governor McBrlde. As a
matter of t fact, the railroad managers
seem to have executed the smoothest
piece of good politics In the recent, po
litical history of the state. They have,
according to all surface Indications, exe
cuted a coup d'etat, and the Governor is
facing what seems to be certain defeat,
so far as the organization of the Senate
Is concerned.
It was all done very smoothly and very
quickly. Dr. Smith, who Is one of the
youngest men of any prominence In state
politics, was himself unaware of what
was going on when his name was pre
sented to the King County Senators last
Saturday as a candidate for President of
the Senate. Smith is friendly to the rail
roads, and had all along believed that
either Senator Hamilton, of Pierce, or
J Senator Baker, of Klickitat, would be
selected by the railroad managers for
President of the Senate., Saturday after
noon Senator Smith arrived here to attend
a caucus of the Senators-elect from King.
County. He was Informed that his name
had been agreed on as a King County
candidate for President." After a little
discussion he agreed to run, backed by
the seven Republican Senators' from King.
This was done in the office of Senator
Pre3ton, King County's candidate for the
Senatorial toga. The story was imme
diately wired over the state. Monday, at
Tacoma, Senators Hamilton and Baker
met in conference with the railroad man
agers. The situation was talked over In
detail. Senator Hamlltqn, while long de
siring the Presidency in order to even up
certain matters which have been standing
since the last session between, himself
' and Governor McBrlde, declared his will
ingness to get out of the race If thereby
harmony would be promoted, and the de
feat of the McBrlde commission bill be as
sured. Senator Baker, who has long had
aspirations to the honor of presiding over
the deliberations of the Senate, after medi
tating for some little time, announced hii
willingness to sacrifice himself. It being
clearly shown that King County, with
seven votes, held the balance of power
bot in the organization of the Senate and
in the fate of the railroad commission
bill. It was further shown that for the
railroad forces to accept- Dr. Smith as
President would be to give King County
one of the choicest Legislative plums and
would naturally place the King County
Senators under obligations to the rail
roads. Senators Baker and Hamilton, after the
conference, went out together for a little
heart-to-heart talk. Few words were
spoken, and then It is related one Invited
the other to take, a drink. This function
being performed, together they signed a
telegram to Senator Smith, announcing
their joint withdrawal from the race for
President of the Senate, and that they
would support hirn.
The full Import and significance of this
move on the part of the railroads has not
yet become thoroughly understood over
the state, except among the politicians
who are in close touch with events. There
is no question that Senator Smith is op
posed personally to the passage of the Mc
Brlde commission bill, but neither the
Governor nor his friends have the least
fear that he will be fair In his rulings
as the presiding officer of the Senate.
Still his selection by the King County
delegation as President of the Senate, and
his Indorsement by the friends of Senators
Hamilton and Baker, make his election
practically certain, and this means that
the railroad forces will obtain1 the prestige
which goes with having succeeded in elect
ing the President of the upper chamber.
There is one phase of the matter, how
ever, that remains to be examined. It is
this fact, that in the resolution Indorsing
Smith for the Presidency of the Senate
by th; King County Senators, the follow
ing language was used.
The newly elected Republican State Senators
from King County resolved. That we present
the name of Senator J. J. Smith, of King
County, as our candidate for the presidency of
the State Senate, such candidacy to bo at all
times subordinate to the candidacy of Harold
Preston for the United Stataes Senatorshlp.
Now, this resolution makes It obliga
tory on Senator Smith to withdraw from
the race if at any time between now and
the organization of the Senate it shall be
found that his election would handicap or
injure Mr. Preston's interests. Since hLs
indorsement by his colleagues from this
county for the presidency. Senator Smith
has several times told Mr. Preston that
he would step aside if at any time he
(Preston) believed it necessary to protect
his Senatorial interestn.
It is just possible, In view of these
facts, that Governor BcBrlde. who hao
not, yet given up his attempt to organ
ize the Senate, will induce Mr. Preston to
ask Senator Smith to get out of the race.
The Governor is a very determined and
a positive man. He Is one of the most
aggressive fighters In the state, and. If
all reports- from Olympxa are true, trie
Governor 13 not at all pleased by the
sway, things l)ave been going. He was par
ticularly Incensed, it is said, at tne trick
which the railroads played on him, and it
is now stated by persons who should
know, that the Governor is busy trying
to undo the work of the anti-commission
men.
In the event that McBrlde is unable to
gather any considerable strength for a
candidate against Senator Smith for the
presidency, it is not improbable that he
may ask Senator Preston to pull the
King County candidate off and thus re
open the fight. Such action by the Gov
ernor might result In a sacrifice of Mr.
Preston's candidacy, and It is altogether
doubtful whether or not the Governor
would go to this extent In his fight
against the rallroadE.
Efforts are now being made by the
friends of the Governor and of Mr. Pres
ton to bring Senator Smith and Governor
McBrlde together in order that an agree
ment and understanding may be reached
between them. Senator Smith and the
Governor are close personal antl political
friends, and it is believed that a satis
factory understanding may be reached
between them by which no opposition to
Smith for president would appear next
Winter at Olympla.l
The line-up at present for the further
organization of the Senate- seems to be
Senator Hamilton as floor leader for the
anti-commission force, as chairman of the
committee on railroads; Senator Baker as
chairman of the appropriation committee,
and either Senator Clapp. of Jeffer
son, or Senator Van Dc Vanter, of
King, as chairman of the fisheries com

Project of Minneapolis Mill Itc
aulres 150,000 Bond.
ST. PAUL, Nov.To. One of the big
milling companies of Minneapolis bonded-
one of Its mills for an indefinite period
to grind nothing but Canadian wheat.
The bond demanded by the Custom-House
and given today is for $50,000. According
to the terms of the bond the mill shall
have continually within its walls Gov
ernment storekeepers, who will see that
only Canadian grain Is used. The grain
will be delivered to the mills in cars from
Canada, which will be In charge of Cus-tom-House
men. The entire product of
the mill, flour, bran and shorts will be
loaded Into bonded cars and will be taken
East for shipment entire to Liverpool.'
The custom heretofore was to ship the
grain from the Canadian Northwest
bonded through the United States to Liv
erpool. The grinding of the grain in Min
neapolis instead of in England will create
a great saving in the expense of transit
to Europe.
JOHN HANCOCK'S ESTATE
Seeks to Recover Money Lost in
Revolutionary "War.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20. An attorney of
the city has filed a petition, says a Bos
ton dispatch to the Times, asking that he
be appointed administrator of the estate
of- John Hancock, the Revolutionary pa
triot. John Hancock, late in the JSth century,
was to soma extent an underwriter, tak
ing insurance risks on vessels out of
the port of Boston at the time when, re
lations between France and this country
were strained. Some of the vessels so
insured by Hancock were captured by
French privateers and condemned in the
French prize courts. The underwriters
had to pay the insurance, and Hancock,
like many others, was a loser In this
way.
The purpose of the appointment of an
administrator Is to recover from the
United States the money which John Han
cock was compelled to pay.
