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." .

This action was made necessary because
of a complaint made by those who pur

grain that had been ordered delivered to
them. They demanded an Investigation,
