Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING- OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 19U. WAR FOR BUSINESS San Francisco and Seattle Both Want Transports,. CHANCES NOW FAVOR SEATTLE SoBthcrn Port Want Government to Continue Present Service,' lnt Root Wants to Let Contract to Seattle Company. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Dec 4. Secretary Root will de cide on Wednesday next whether troops and supplies xvlll hereafter be transport-, ed to and from the Philippines by Gov ernment transports or by private steam ship line3. In other -words, he will decide whether to accept the recent bid of the Boston Steamship Company and make future shipments from Seattle, or reject that bid and-"retain San Francisco as a shipping base. Officials of the War De partment, who have made elaborate cal culations since this bid was submitted, have concluded that the Government would save money by throwing- the trans portation business into private hands. The Cjuartermaster-General, who has heretofore held out strenuously In favor of preservation of the transport service, now admits that the other scheme is the more economical. San Francisco Interests are thoroughly alarmed over the prospect of losing the Immense Government business, which means millions of dollars to them each year. Their Congressional delegation is straining every point to prevent the change, and even begs for a readvertlse ment, in order that San Francisco ship pers may have an opportunity to get the Government business, but they cannot as sure Secretary Root that actual bids will be submitted, and the Secretary will not promise to readvertlse. The fact that the figures now in his hands are so favorable, on a first and fair competition, rather in clines him to believe that the time has come for the change which he has long advocated. The only qualifications of the Seattle situation which embarrasses the depart ment is the present lack of quarters for troops arriving and waiting to embark. There Is some objection to releasing troops on board the Garonne, which It is proposed to anchor in Seattle harbor; yet other officials think this will provide ad equate quarters of a temporary character with Vancouver Barracks so near. The fact that James J. Hill desires th adop tion of the Boston Company's offer, which would banefit him Indirectly, has t-"own considerable Influence in the direction of Seattle. Between now and Wednesday San Fran cisco erpects to formulate all possible arguments against a change of the pre vailing system. Recognizing that Army officers are now making an appraisal of all Government property at San Fran cisco and the vicinity, they are preparing for a last grand struggle, with the chances against them. Sooner r later Secretary Root is determined the trans ports must go. and if he becomes thor oughly convinced that the present oppor tunity justifies the change, it will be made regardless of Congressional Influ ence in bshalf of either port. Government Building- for Nome. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Dec. 4. Senator Quay today intro duced a bill authorizing the construction of a public 'building at Nome, Alaska, to cost over $150,000. NO LAND FRAUDS- (Continued from First Page.) through hte representative in Oregon was endeavoring to procure the release of private claims upon several tracts of land in Oregon land which I understand was valuable principally for timber so that the state could select these as lieu lands, and this gentleman was to pay his agent when they procured title from the state the um of JS per acre. I Immediately called the attention of the members of the State Land Board to such facts as I had obtained, and I understand that the plan was frustrated. "Over the selection and deliberation of lieu lands of the state, and the contro versies over mineral lands, the delega tion has' no more control than The Ore gonlan. Reference to these .matters Is not made through the members of the delegation. They are not brought to our attention by any officer, state or Na tional. 'But It seems to me that the officials of the Interior Department, Instead of continuing to play the. part of common scolds, and place the whole state under suspicion, should make a specific charge of specific violation of some law against some specific person. I shall be ready to render them all the assistance in my power." Moody Says Xo Wonder. Representative Moody, commenting on the editorial which says, "Secretary Hitchcock's arraignment of Oregon pub lic land abuses is just," and concludes with the statement, "It is a fair presump tion that this wholesale manipulation of public lands has been perfectly -understood, not only by the State Land Board, but also by Commissioner Hermann, Sen ators Mitchell and Simon and Representa tives Tongue and Moody," says: "I am not surprised that the Secretary of the Interior would suspect that there might be something wrong In the dispo sition of the public lands of Oregon when the returns from The Dalles district alone, with which I am best acquainted, show that applications to purchase lands under the timber and stone act have grown from about 230 to about 1500 entries In the past 12 months. "In other words, there had been filed in that office, prior to January L 1902, In 27 years since the establishment of the office, only about 250 sworn timber state ments, covering 40.000" acres, while in the past 12 months there have been filed about 1250 entries, covering 200,000 acres. It is not strange, with this remarkable show ing from one land district In the state, which, with the possible exception of Burns, contains timber In less quantity and value than any of the other five dis tricts, that the honorable Secretary of the Interior's suspicions should be aroused, when you consider that each applicant to purchase under the timber and stone act must first take the following oath: That I have made no other application under said act: that I do not apply to purchase the land above described on speculation, but in good faith to appropriate it to my own ex clusive use and benefit, and that I. have not directly or Indirectly made any agreement or contract, or In any way or manner with any person or persona whatsoever, by which title I may acquire from the Government of the United States may Inure In whole or in part to the benefit of any person except myself. "The addresses of the applicants range from Maine, to Montana. "If the leading paper in the state, in seeking to Investigate this matter, chooses to throw, by Its general assertions, a dragnet about the officers of the land de partment of tee Government and state, as well as the Congressional delegation, in order'to catch the guilty, lit any there are, I have no objection, providing they prosecute their investigation until the in nocent are freed from the stigma of their sweeping insinuations." . KLAMATH IXDIAX LANDS. Can They Be Horocstcaded, or Does State Own Them? OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 4. The Land Office is trying to settle the question as to Tvhether ceded lands In the Klamath reserve can be opened to homestead entry, or whether they belong to the State of Oregon under the swamp grant.
