Oregron.
The effect of this will be to restore nor

all-entries, homesteads, mineral and tim

entries, -will be pasaed to patent -whenever
full and satisfactory proof is sub

there is suspicion of fraud will be- held
up pending investigation.
There are several hundred entries, par
ticularly mineral entries, which will be
immediately affected by this order. Final
proof has been submitted and these cases
are complete, but patents were witnneia
under the order of last March. On an

Colleague Denies Opposition to For-
Rcserves and Committee ,
Shows Heyburn's Fig
ures Incorrect,
OREGONIAX ' NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, - Jan. . 17. Senator Hey
burn today delivered himself of a hot.
Impulsive speech before the Senate
Dubllc lands committee, in which he
arraigned President Kooscvclt and In
severe language denounced and con
demned his forest reserve policy and
the men who arc putting that policy
into practice. Heyburn appeared on
behalf of his bill denying the Presi
dents right to create forest reserves
and transferrins that cower to Con
gress.
Tn ine surorlse- of the committee
Heyburn repeated the charges made in
his letters, which the public read last
Fall, which charges were officially dis
proves He stated that the President
had brought one-half the area of
Idaho into forest reserves, but records
were produced showing that only one
sixth of the state is now reserved, and
only one-fifth will be in reserves
when the Shoshone and Priest River
reserves aro "created.
Vicious Assault on President.
Heyburn, undaunted by the rebuke
of the committee, viciously assailed
the President for having published his
correspondence relating to Idaho re
serves, charging him with: bad fafth
and undcrhandedness, alleging, .that
the publication of this correspondence
was absolutely unjustifiable.
He arraigned Gifford Finchot and
other officials of the Forest Service,
for the vigor with which they extend
ed reserves in Idaho against his pro
test, and renewed his statement that
these reserves were retarding develop
ment; were shutting oft from entry
vast areas of rich agricultural land,
and were depriving miners and pros
pectors of the use of timber adjoining
their claims. All thess charges wero
shown to be untrue. He also con
demned the policy of exacting a fee
for the privilege of grazing stock in
reserves.
Called Down by Dubois.
In view of the difference of opinion
between Serifetors Dubois and Hey
burn on the forestry issue, the com
mittee decided to postpone action on
Heyburn's bill, whereupon Heyburn
stated that he and Dubois had no ma
terial differences on this or other mat
ters affecting Idaho. "When the chair
man turned to Dubois, the latter was
constrained to say he lavored 're
serves, that he approved all ?o far
created and heartily recommended
their extension to Include other valu
able timber lands.
The committee will report adversely
on Heyburn's bill, for there la no sym-
pathy with him on account of his per
sonal grievance against thi President.
He will, submit statements supporting
his contention before action is taken
on the bill.
Heyburn informed the committee
that he would soon make a speeon In
the Senate along the lines of hit talk
today. If he does, his arraignment
of the President will oe even mors se
vere than Tlllman'a speech this-- afternoon.

committee today made a favorable report

HEAR JDAST WORD FROM ROSS
3S'o Doubt His Carey Selection Will
Be Canceled.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Jan. 17. On Wednesday. January
84, Land Commissioner Ross, of Washing
ton, will be given full opportunity to pre
sent to the Interior Department any facts
he may possess showing why the famous
state Carey act selection of 55,000 acres In
the Yakima Valley should not be canceled.
Mr. Ross admits he has no facts to offer
which were not presented last Summer,
when he was here before; he privately
admits that the Secretary is bound to rule
against him; he virtually admits that he
has no ground whatever upon which to
ask' for approval of this selection, yet he
insists upon having another hearing. In
order that he may not charge that the
state has been unjustly treated, he will
be given opportunity to present his case.
The Congressional delegation, which will
be heard with him. Informed Mr. Ross
that. If the state selection would In any
way Interfere with the Government Irri
gation project, they would be compelled
to ask for Its cancellation. This Is equiv
alent to saying that the delegation Is
against Mr. Ross, for the Reclamation
Service has specifically stated that It will
not undertake Irrigation In the Yakima
Valley so long as these selections arc in
the way.
There Is no doubt that Ross will be
turned down after his hearing; he knows
it and admits It. When final action has
been taken, one of the largest obstacles
in the way of the Sunnyslde project will
be removed and the Government be In a
fair way to begin work.
At the request of Senator Ankeny, the
Reclamation Service will have an esti
mate of the cost of the Palouse irrigation
project in Eastern Washington reviewed
by C. E. Grunsky. the $10,000 consulting
engineer of the service. There Is no hope,
however, of early construction of this
project, because there Is no money avail
able to pay for its construction, and on
the most conservative basis it Is not be
lieved it can be completed Xor less than
J3.000.000. The original estimate was $G,000,
000. Probably in time this project may be
built, but not until others in Washington
are completed. f
The Secretary of the Interior today
withdrew from entry about . 25,000 acres
adjoining the land recently withdrawn for
irrigation purposes on the N aches River.
It will form part of the Yakima project

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17. In addition
to the Caucasus and a few localities In
Siberia, the- open revolt is now chlofly
confined to small islands off the Baltic
coast, where the difficulty of landing
troops hampers the subjugation of the
revolutionists. The icebreaker Ycrmak

Following the example of their brothers
on the mainland, the peasantry of even
the tiniest Islands In the Baltic have in
stituted independent republics. One of
these, on the Islet of Llnsuitt, probably
the smallest state In the world, already
boasts of a second revolution and a sec
ond President, the citizens having risen
and overthrown the first President. The
present chief magistrate, janeenson, is
addressing them in proclamations as "my

PREPARING FOR ELECTION.
Parties Make Platforms, While Ter
rorists Make Corpses.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 17. The holl-
dav truce In Russian politics Is over and
the new political parties are mustering
their strength for Russia's first all-Important
electoral campaign. The opening
guns will be fired when the delegates of
the Constitutional Democrats assemble to
discuEs their elaborate platform, ine
nartv reD'resents the advanced liberal
opinions of the Zemstvo majority, and the
platform will closely follow tnc resolu
tions of the last Zemstvo Congress.
The allied moderate parties, which arc
standing on the basis of the manifesto of
October 30. will also be early In the field.
There will be a conference of the leaders
from various parts of the empire here
this week. This coalition, which em
braces the party of law and order and six
other factions, has chosen the name of
Constitutional Monarchists, and will nom
inate candidates In common, realizing that
sinelv they are oo weak to meet the
well-ortranlzed Constitutional Democrats.
or even the Social Democrats and Social
Revolutionists.
During the holidays the pacification of
the country has been steadily going lor-
ward. By an unsparing use or ine mili
tary and wholesale arrests of the leaders
of the fighting organizations, tne revolu
tionists have been driven underground and
have been forced to return to their old
methods of assassination. Not a day
nasses without reports of the murder of
obnoxious officials. So far, St. Petersburg
has escaped, owing to tne demoralization
of the Terrorists here and the activity of
the police.
