PCJR EST RESERVE IN CTREGO
RECORDS IN THE STATE LAND OFFICE AT SALEM CORROBORATE SUSPICIONS
OF COMMISSIONER HERMANN W LETTER NO. IV.
SALEM. Oct. 10. (Special.) As shown by j companled by Mr. Williamson, and on
the records in the General Land Office at tha day there were filed In the State
rr m n n,..r tt Land Office 18 applications for the pur-
Washington Commlssione. Binger Her- , appllcanta a

mended for withdrawal W J. N. wimam
sson, then Congressman-elect. Hermann's
reason for this refusal was that a very
large part of the tract which Williamson
-wanted withdrawn was covered by private
claims or w is In private ownership. The
records in the State Land Office show that
this reason was well founded, so far as
Btate lands are concerned, for it appears
that Just before Mr. "Williamson made his
recommendation there was a rush to buy
the state lands in the townships affected
by the Williamson recoirimendatlon. It
further appears from the records that
Williamson himself had some interest In
the purchases that were made; and it is
common talk among land operators that
Gt the time he made his recommendation
Williamson held certificates of sale of a
considerablearea of stae land In that re
gion. As is usuallythe case where men secure
3arge tracta of state land, the records in
The Land Office do not show the transfer
of title. The state law provides that only
20 acres of school land shall be sold to
one person, and Jn order to secure more
than that quantity a man must do so
through other persons who purchase from
jjhe state and then make assignments to
Iilm. The state law provides that an ap
plicant must swear that he wants the land
lor his own benefit and not for the pur
jpose of speculation, and that he has made
Jno agreement, express or Implied, for the
Cale or disposition of the land in case he
ts permitted to purchase it. Notwithstand
ing this strict provision of the state law,
it has been found that thousands of pur
Chases are made by persons who do not
ven know the location of the land they
purchased, who did not hai'e tho money
with which to make the purchase and
"who made assignments of their certificates
of sale almost as soon as they had se
cured them.
It Is in this manner that a few specu
lators have secured title to school lands
fwherever forest reserves were about to be
created, and after the reserves were cre
ated the lands were valuable for use as
"base" for the selection of lieu land. If not
Snore valuable for the timber they con
tained. The land was sold by the state at
$1.25 per acre, and as soon as a reserve is
created it immediately rises to a value of
$4 to $5 an acre, as base, even though It
3s in Itself entirely worthless. Because a
Very large part of the Government and
Btate land, in the townships recommended
tby Williamson for withdrawal, had al--Jready
passed into private control and
"would be available as base. Commissioner
Hermann refused to withdraw the town
ships from entry. '
"Williamson Gets Land Fever.
SALEM. Or., Augr. 1, 1002. Hon. M. L.
Chamberlain, Salem, Or. Doar Sir: I will
ea that Mr. J. A. Bocps checks on land
ko the amount of one thousand ($1000) are
honored at the Prlnevllle National Bank.
iTruly yours. J. K. WILLIAMSON.
The foregoing letter, on file in the office
f the State Land Board, is the first rec
ord here that shows any connection which
Congressman J. N. Williamson may have
2iad with public land transactions. The
J. A. Boggs referred to was a resident of
Prlnevllle, Crook County, and ttfe letter
heads he used In corresponding with the
clerk of the State Laud Board show that
he was a dealer in Umber lands, farm
lands and land scrip. An inspection of the
correspondence in the State Land Office
shows that in the three months prior to
vthe writing of the Wlllianjson letter, Mr.
.Boggs had secured from the Land Office
a complete list of the lands for sale in
Crook County and had secured particular
Information regarding some of the lands
which Mr. Williamson afterward recom-
inended should le added to the Blue Moun
tain forest reserve. Mr. Boggs had occa
sional correspondence with tho State Land
JDepartment as far back as August. 190L
"but It was not until after April 1L 1902,
that his correspondence became frequent.
On April 11, 1902, he wrote Clerk M. L.
Chamberlain as follows:
Please inform me whether or not the
Tollowing school sections arc vacant, and It
Xaken. to whom:
Township 11 south, range 1C to 19 cast.
Township 12 south, range 10 to 10 east.
Township 13 south, range, 10 to 20 cast.
Township 14 south, range 18 to 20 east.
Pardon my being such a bother, but when
We Eastern Oregonlans get a Governor we
iwlll try to be good to you.
If I can be of service to you. out in this
land of enormous distances, call on me.
If there is any base to be had I can use
fi. section, at a reasonable price.
Part of the lands described are within
&hc territory afterward withdrawn from
entry for the purpose of placing them in a
forest reserve. Others of them are in the
Sownships which Mr. Williamson tried to
iave withdrawn for reserve purposes.
Mr. Dorks Get Busy.
That Mr. Boggs did a large "business In
-fctate lands is Indicated by the fact that
in the months of June. July and August,
1902, he procured from the State Land
Office large quantities of blank applica
tions for the purchase of school land and
blank assignments of certificates of sale.
On July 20. 1902, Mr. Boggs. addressed a
letter to tho clerk of the Land Board mak
ing Inquiry regarding school land in Tp.
21 S., R. 1C R, and on July 21 an inquiry
regarding land in Tp. 13 S., R. 20 E., and
on July 23 and 24 Inquiries regarding lands
In various townships In southern Grant
County and northern Harney and Malheur
Counties. Some of the lands referred to
were afterward recommended by Mr. Wil
liamson for withdrawal for reserve pur
poses, and some of them were included In
the Blue Mountain reserve. The letter un
tler date of July 24 was typewritten, but
at the top of it Mr. Boggs wrote the fol
lowing words with a pen:
"This is for Mr. Williamson and myself.
Bend bill to me."
Two days later, on July 26, 1902, Mr.
Boggs addressed another letter to the
clerk, which letter was evidently not In
tended to be a part of the public records.
EThe late M. L. Chamberlain was not a
Inan who considered his public business a
personal matter, and he placed the letter
on file, where It still remains. It is as fol
lows: PERSONAL.
PRINEVILLE. Or., July 20. 1002. Mr.
Chamberlain: The last three orders ' for
corrections are for Mr. Williamson and my
self, and you will confer a great favor on
us If you will hasten the forwarding of
the same to me. Send bill to' me. Respect
fully. JAMES A BOGGS.
In haste.
At this time Mr. Boggs was evidently
doing an enormous business, for to his
letter of July 23 he adds a postscript
which is as follows:
P. S. 1 am in somewhat of a hurry and
you will accommodate roe if you will send
the above at the earliest moment. I don't
get timo to sleep. JAMES. A BOGGS.
Over Forty Application Piled.
The last letter written by Mr. Boggs
from Prlnevllle was dated July '26, 1902.
On July 23 Mr. Boggs was In Salem, ac-
only thing In the records to show that
these applications were filed by Mr. Boggs
Is that the first of the bunch was In
dorsed by the clerk with the name
"Boggs." to Indicate by whom they had
been delivered. All the receipts for the
money paid wero issued In tho name of
the applicant. On the following day three
more applications were filed bearing Hop
kins' name, and sworn to on July 28. On
August 12, nineteen more applications
were filed, also bearing Hopkins' name,
and sworn to on various dates from July
26 to August 1.
These applications were for the purchase
of practically all of the vacant school
lands In the townships which Mr. Wil
liamson afterward recommended for in
c'i3lon in a reserve, either as an addi
tion to tho Blue Mountain reserve or as a
separate reserve in Wallowa County.
Tho J. W. Hopkins who served as no
tary In taking tho affidavits of all these
applicants for state land was a lawyer at
Prlnevllle. He was a particular friend of
Williamson, and Am Williamson's recom
mendation secured a clerkship in the Ore
gon Senate In the Legislature of 1901.
On September 20 Mr. Boggs wrote from
Portland to tho clerk of the Land Board
saying that he wished to cancel his for
mer order for corrected lists of state
lands in Crook County, as he wished to
close up his accounts in that connection.
Threa days later Mr. Williamson wrote to
Commissioner BInger Hermann recom
mending Uiat tho townships in which this
land had peen purchased should be placed
In a reserve.
Williamson Sells Oat.
There were associated with Mr. Wil
liamson in his state land purchases two
other men whose names are not known,
and Williamson owned only a third Inter
est In the purchases. In November, 1902,
Mr. Hermann wrote his refusal to with
draw the townships designated, and after
wards Williamson sold out his holdings of
these lands.
The lands referred to above had three
prospective elements of value. Whether
placed in a reserve or not. they were sup
posed to have some value in themselves.
If placed in a reserve they could be used
as base for tho selection of lieu land, for
which purpose they would be worth $5
per acre; or they could be used as homes
for stockmen, for which purpowj they
would be worth all that the stockmen
could be made to pay. In permitting
grazing in the reserves, the Government
gives the first consideration to stockmen
who reside inside the reserve: second, to
men who own land inside the reserve but
llw outside, and third, to men who own
land and reside outside the reserve. To
own a school section Inside a reserve,
therefore, gives a sheepman or cattleman
an advantage In securing grazing privi
leges, and one who owns no land In such
a location is almost compelled to buy if
the reserve covers most of the territory
needed for Summer range. When it be
came evident that the lands he had fought
would not be added to the reserve, Mr.
Williamson 'evidently concluded that he
had something upon which he did not
want' to complete the payments, and sold
out.
he had gone as far as the dining-room
without meeting any one.
"What do you want?" screamed Mrs.
Burke, running into the room. "You're a
burglar! Oh, where is Bob?"
"Be calm, woman, I'm a Constable,"
expostulated tho nervous TourrelL
"Don't kill me! Spare me! We have no
slot machines," pleaded Mrs. Burke,
whose acquaintance with Constables was
limited to what she had read about them.
"Is Mr. Burke in?" asked the Constable.
Mrs. Burke made no answer. She start
ed to cry, and as her tears fell faster
and her sobs became louder the embar
rassment of Constable Yourrell increased. !
She became hysterical, and he was seri
ously considering the advisability of call
ing a physician to assist in serving the.
writ, when the telephone bell rang.
Mrs. Burke quieted her sobs long
enough to answer it. When she returned
she had recovered from all fear of Imme
diate destruction at the hands of the Con
stable. "Is this Mr. Burke's property?" in
quired tho Constable, pointing to a fow
of the chattels of the late oil Inspector.
"There's not a cent of mortgage on
tnem, declared Mrs. Burke.
Well, I'll levy on- them," retorted the
Constable. i
On the writ of execution which was re
turned to Justice Prlndlville's Court were
scheduled one table, ten chairs, one lot of
glassware and one lot of silverware. The
execution for 575 -was marked "satisfied"
with the schedule of these furnishings.
"Shall we take the furniture down town
and auction it off, or will you pay the
$75 and keep the furniture?" inquired
Constable Yourrell, after the schedule
was completed.
The Idea of auctioning off the furnituro
of "Bobby" Burke's house to pay his
debts did not appeal to Mrs. Burke as
the plcasanter of the alternatives, and
she protested. ,
"I'll telephone. Perhaps I can find my
husband," she suggested.
The telephone was kept busy for nearly
an hour before Mr. Burke was located.
He wanted to talk to the Constable.
"Have all the Democrats gone crazy?"
he asked.
"They need the money," replied the Con
stable. Then Mrs. Burke was called again to
the telephone. What Mr. Burke said was
not audible at the residence end of the
line. An emphatic "all right" on Mrs.
Burke's part closed the conversation. Sh

WRIT DELAYS LUNCH.
Constable Sits on Table "While the
Viands Are Cooling;-
Chicago Inter Ocean.
There was no midday luncheon yester
day at the mansion occupied by Robert
E. Burke, ex-Democratic leader. Just at
the hour when it should have been served
a Constable sat serenely on the edge of
the dining-room table engaged in earnest
conversation with Mrs. Burke. In his
hand was a levy on most of the furnish
ings of the room, including the table,
chairs, glass and silverware.
"Bobby." Burke, once the all-powerful
Democratic boss of Chicago, had been
sued for nonpayment of dues by the Iro
quois Club, the leading Democratic club
of the city.
The late Democratic leader has not
thought highly of his membership' in the
Iroquois Club or kindred political organ
izations since he voluntarily ceased to be
the power behind Mayor Harrison's chair.
The Iroquois Club officials assert that
even before that time he had been for
getful of his dues, and that for a year
and a half he has been a member, but
not a contributor. They sued him for
J75, the amount of the dues in arrears.
The suits were brought before Justice
Prlndlvllle. former treasurer of the club.
and Charles Yourrell. a Constable of
Democratic sentiments, was given the
warrants to serve.
It was 12:30 o'clock when Constable
Yourrell strolled Into the kitchen through
a rear door of the Burke home, at 55S La
Salle avenue. Mrs. Burke was in another
part of the house. , -
'Hello! shouted the Constable, after
Fashionable Society Filled Ills Pe-ivs.
New York Herald.
Sad and sudden has been the end of Dr.
Ker Gray, the originator of the Society for
Sunday Evening Dress Service. He was
for years well known to Londoners as an
unconventional cleric with Ideas. He was
found dead in bed Sunday morning at
Edinborough, where he had been spending
a short vacation.
His most noted work was in connection
with St. George's Chapel, of which he was
the incumbent. Troubled over the small
ness of his congregation, he appealed to
fashionable Mayfalr to come to the serv
ice in the attire In which It had dined,
the service being timed to suit the ways
of Mayfalr. At the evening dress even
song at 9 o'clock thereafter there were
rows of diamonds and stately ranks of
shining shirt fronts. The doctor's ser
mons were vigorous but tolerant in spirit.
He was high In the regard of the theatri

Modish. Straight Scarfs.
Paris Letter.
In furs the straight scarfs will be mod
ish. They are making these now for the
watering places. In silk muslin, edged and
trimmed with fur. A charming scarf is
of white moussellne de sole, with the
ends laid in deep tucks, with narrow lines
of ermine laid between the tucks and
ermine border. The furriers are getting
out new ideas In these small wraps for
the Winter. They are less stiff than when
the model was first introduced; either the
fur Is made thinner in some fashion, or
the lining Is better cut. Whatever the
difference, tho scarf in heavy fur now
wrinkles gracefully. A pretty scarf Is of
ermine with a border of zibellnc and zibe
llne tails, making a fringe at the ends
which are cut Into points. A great many
of these garments are made up in mole
skin, which is to be the fashionable fur
this Winter.
