SALEM, Or., June 11. (Special.) The
appropriations Included in the ,1,000,000
appropriation bill, which has been held up
for more than a year by the referendum,
will become available for expenditure
about June 20, at which time those who
now hold certificates of allowance for
services or supplies furnished to state in
stitutions may exchange their certificates
for warrants and then get their money.
At the same time the appropriations
for the four normal schools will become
available and the expenses already in
curred by those institutions for the years
1905 and 1906 can be paid. The normal
schools will have an abundance of money
for their running expenses for the re
mainder of 1906.
Of the total appropriation of $1,034,000,
claims have been incurred and audited for
about $427,000, for the maintenance of the
asylum, penitentiary, reform school, mute
school, blind school, for the transporta
tion of insane persons and convicts,
and for several other purposes, such as
the payment of rewards for arrests, re
turn of fugitives, etc. For this $427,000
certificates of allowance have been is
sued, showing that th claimants have
furnished labor or supplies lor the state,
in pursuance of laws in force at the time.
These certificates merely show that the
claim has been audited and allowed, but
mat there being no appropriation avail
able the claimant cannot receive a war
rant until an appropriation has been made
and his certificate has been returned to
tne Secretary of State.
Warrants for Certificates.
As soon as all the election returns are
in, tne secretary or state will canvass
"is vuio in me presence ot tne uovernor,
And it thft flnnmnrlattnn Kill V. . . ,.
a majority vote in the affirmative the

uw,c,uur wi iobuc nis proclamation to
that effect. This will probably be done
the latter part of this week, and then
the Secretary of State will notify the
jreisuna lo wnom certificates ox allow
ance were issued that they can get war
rants by sending in their certificates.
It is probable that there will be nearly
enough money to pay all demands against
the state until the meeting of the next
Legislature, but the balance in the gen
eral fund will be depleted, and for two
or three months it may be necessary to
Indorse warrants. There Is now in the
general fund in the state treasury about
uvu.wu. j no cmims already allowed will
take H27.000 of this. If presented, and the
expenses of the normal schools for 1905
. 06. together with the running expenses
of the state Institutions at Salem for the
present quarter, will take $50,000 more.
There will be monthly payrolls to meet
In August September and October, but
they will be a little lighter than usual,
because the mute school and blind school
are closed for vacation. . In November
the last half of the state taxes will be
come due. and then there will be money
enough coming in to pay all claims as
mey accrue.

Secretary of State and State Treasurer
umoio mo expenses to Which the state
will be subject for that year. In January,
3905. they made the usual estimates for
running expenses, and in
law. made an estimate of $150,000 for new
nuiicungs. The appropriation bill having
been held up by the referendum the
money was not eirryenrlert '
In January. 1906, the usual estimates
were maae, Dut a deduction of $150,000
was made on account of the unexpended
building appropriation, and the remain
der of the necessary revenue apportioned
among the counties in the usual man
ner. The necessary revenue having been
raised, but not expended, to the amount
of $500,000, that amount haa accumulated
in the general fund of the state trasury
and is now ready for the payment of
claims.
Private Funds for Normal Schools.
How much money the normal schools
have expended it Is Impossible to say, as
they have been running on private funds
furnished by persons who were willing to
take chances on the appropriation bill
finally passing or the next Legislature
repaying the money advanced. The nor
mal at Weston closed at the end of the
school year in 1905.
The appropriations provided in the bill
that has now become a law were: Mon
mouth. $36,000; Ashland, $31,000; Drain
$21,000: Weston, $25,000. Each of these in
stitutions Is now entitled to have paid
from the above amounts whatever sums
they have expended during the years
1905-6. They will also be entitled to ex
pend whatever they wish for legitimate
purposes during the remainder of 1906.
Since the appropriation bill permits the
expenditure of the money for either run
ning expenses or for Improvements, It
is probable that each institution will 'use
up almost the entire amount of its ap
propriation. Thus Weston, which has
not been running, can use nearly all of
Its $25,000 for Improvements, saving only
enough to complete the year 1906, and
then be in excellent condition to begin
the year 1907 on an appropriation to be
made by the Legislature of that year.
Referendum Strengthens Hold.
It Is therefore apparent that the refer
endum on the appropriation bill has
strengthened, rather than weakened, the
hold of the normal schools. It is the rule
that where an appropriation has been
made for a certain period it may be ex
pended after that period provided the
contracts are made before the limit of
time expires. Therefore, any of the in
stitutions which have appropriations cov
ering improvements may make contracts
during 1906 and use the money In 1907.
Among the appropriations included in
the bill, and for which no expenditures
have been made, are:
New buildings and Improvements at
the Asylum $S7,250
Additional appropriations and new
buildings for University of Oregon. 82.000
Kxperlment station at Urrion 15.000
New buildings. Agricultural College.... 65.O0O
New buildings. Soldiers' Home 8,000
The larger part of this money will yet
be expended for the purposes named,
but probably not all of it, for the reason
in some instances that time will not per
mit. Probably only a small proportion of the
claims that have been allowed and not
paid will be the subject of interest claims.
Prior to July. 1905, the supplies furnished,
to the institutions were furnished on
contracts made when it was assumed that
money would be available for prompt
payment- Prices were made upon that
understanding, and, it is believed, the
persons who furnished the goods are en
titled to Interest. But when the state
boards advertised for bids in 1905 and 1906,
they called attention to the fcfet that the
contractors would be obliged to wait for
their money, and the bidders made their
prices accordingly.
Full Salaries Are Paid.
Salary claims at all the institutions
have been cashed by the banks at face
value and employes of the Institutions
have received their pay In full. This ar
rangement was made upon the promise of
the state boards that they would ask the
Legislature to allow interest at 6 per
cent. It is therefore probable that the
Legislature will appropriate money to pay
Interest on the salary claims. The sal
ary claims will amount to about $125,000,
and have been outstanding about a year,
or, on an average, six months, so that
the interest, at 6 per cent, would amount
to about $3750.
Briefly summed up. the situation with
regard to the $1,000,000 appropriation bill
is that nearly half the sum has been al
ready expended and the claims therefor
will soon be paid. Much of the other
half will be expended, or contracts made
for its expenditure, before the close of
the present year. In the end. the tax
payers will pay all the sums included in
the appropriation bill, with some Increases
due to higher prices for goods, and in
terest to the amount of about $3500.
SETTLERS TO OWN CANALS
NEW CONTRACTS UNDER CAREY
LAND ACT.
Title to Pass From Irrigation Com
pany When Cost of Recla
mation Is Repaid.
SALEM. Or.. June 11. (Special .1 At h
request of the State Land Board Attorney-
treneral Crawford has prepared a new
form to be used In making contracts for
tne reclamation of ami lnnri im.it. k
Carey act. The new contract contains
several very important features among
which are: -
That the . reclamation onmnanv'a mlii
must be made a part of the contract;
inat.no water rights ehall be sold outside
the tract covered bv the rnntract itnm an
the lands mentioned in the contract have
been supplied: that contracts with settlers
shall not be made until the land has been
reclaimed; that whenever 80 per cent of
tne reclaimed lands have been sold to
settlers the company shall transfer the
reclamation works to a corporation
lormea Dy tne settlers.
Under this contract th irHctinn
DanV Would not hold SL rwrnptnol
collect tolls, but when the settlers had
repaid tne cost or reclamation they would
own the canals. Under -present contracts
the company apparently has a perpetual
right to collect an annual water charge.
v
SELECTION OF LIEU LAND.
r
Move to Secure Right for Oregon
Accorded to Washington.
SALEM, Or., June 11. (Special. ) In an
effort to secure for the State of Oregon
the same rights and privileges accorded
to the State of Washington in the selec
tion of lieu lands. Governor Chamberlain
has written to Senator Gearin asking him
to secure, if possible, the enactment of a
law which shall give the state 60 days in
which to make a selection In newly-surveyed
townships. The Governor calls at
tention to an act of Congress of the year
1893, wherein It is provided that the State
of Washington shall have a preference
right of 60 days in which to select lieu
land in newly-surveyed townehlns.
Here in Oregon that right does not
exist, but as soon as plats are filed the
railroads and other holders of "scrip" who
have already examined the land file on all
of it that is worth taking. The state
must take what the railroads overlook
or do not want. It is not so in Washing
ton, where the ecrippeVs must wait 60
days before making their filings.
As the State of Oregon has some 30,000
acres of forest reserve base which could
be used to advantage In the selection of
lieu land if there were an opportunity
Governor Chamberlain asks Senator
Gearin to confer with Senator Fulton and
eee what can be done to secure legisla
tion which would be of Immense value to
the state by adding thousands of dollars
to the common school fund.

REPUTE IS AT STAKE
Railroad Commissioner Mc
Guillin Sued by Lime King.'
COWELL WOULD DISGRACE
Accuses President of Roche Harbor
Company of Manipulation to
Gain Control of Valua
ble Property.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 1L (Special.)-
Federal Judge Hanford today sent the
case of Ernest V. Cowell against John
S. McMlllIn, State Railroad Commissioner,
to the Master in Chancery to take testi
mony. Cowell, alleging McMlllIn has ma
nipulated the affairs of the Tacoma &
Roche Harbor Lime Company to suit him
self and has gained control of the com
pany, is asking for a receiver, and an in
junction to forbid McMillin's disposing of
his Interests In the corporation before the
suit is- settled. The case has been on in
the Federal Court all day. Judge Han
ford's suggestion that the plaintiff ac
cept a bond and let the controversy be
determined on its merits was spurned by
McMlllIn.
There is more than appears on the sur
face in the suit. E. V. Cowell. the com
plainant, is several times a millionaire.
and so was his father. His fight is to dis
grace McMlllIn and to save himself in a
business and political way. The Cowell
interests neglected the Tacoma & Roche
Harbor Lime Company for years, be
cause of millions Invested elsewhere. The
jiending suit means nothing to them finan
cially, it is an acknowledged effort to
eclipse MtMlllin.
, In a y- nsational series of affidavits filed
in the Federal Court this morning Mc
MlllIn Is accused of having entered into
an agreement to maintain a schedule of
lime prices, and then flooding the market
very soon afterward with his lime, eold
from 60 to 60 cents cheaper than the
agreement provided. This Is said to have
precipitated fhe lime war of 1901, 1902,
1903 and 1904.
Hugh O'Neill, a lime burner, who left
the Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Com
pany a short time ago, Bwears that the
dynamo that ought to have been used- to
provide electric lights during lime-burn
ing at night, was busy charging the elec
tric motor in the launch of young Fred
H. McMillin, left in charge of the Roche
Harbor plant as superintendent when his
father moved to Seattle, after receiving
an appointment as State Railroad Com
mlssioner. O'Neill claims about one-third
loss has resulted from inexperienced burn
ing of lime at the plant.
' Alpheus Byers. who was one of the
incorporators and stockholders in the
Island Lime Company, with a plant lo
cated at Ocean, near Deer Harbor on
Orcas Island, ten miles distant from
Roche Harbor, makes the sensational
charge of a violated agreement against
McMillin. In a lengithy affidavit he re
cites the fact that the lime compa
nies signed a compact to quote lime at
$1.25 f. o. b. the boat at the plant and
to compel agents or dealers to sell at
$1.60. A copy of the agreement is
jriven in the affidavit. .
Byers swears this 1 agreement was
made at 6 P. M. July 18, 1900. Some
time after signing the agreement he
accuses McMillin of calling in Seattle
dealers and notifying them that the
price of lime would be $1 in this city
and 75 cents a barrel f. o. b. the boats
at Roche Harbor. He is accused of
having attempted to flood the market
before rivals could learn of his pur
pose and of precipitating the lime war
that continued until August or Sep
tember, 1904. Despite the fact that a
lime war was raging, Byers claims his
company paid dividends running from
2o to 40 per cent, and though compelled
to ship barrel materials from Portland
and Aberdeen and to pay coopers 1
cent a barrel higher than the running
wages on the Sound because of the iso
lated position of the lime plant, se
cured barrels at a cost of 26 3-1) cents.
These figures on profit and cost of
barrels are Important, for one of the
charges in Cowell's suit against Mc
Mtllln is that the plant which ought
to have paid dividends regularly has
paid but fib, 000 since its organization
He also accuses McMillin of suppress
ing information regardaig the cost of
barrels to get a contract with the Ta
coma Roche Harbor Lime Company
for barrels, made by himself, at a cost
of 30 cents. McMUlin's affidavit filed
today says these barrels cost him 23 y,
cents to manufacture, and the royalty
on the Waterman-Chapman barrel ma
chine brought the cost up to 25 cents.
To McMillin's affidavit, answering the
Cowell charges. Is appended a letter
written by E. V. Cowell to a Toronto
capitalist, whom McMillin says he had
Interested in a big cement enterprise
at Roche Harbor and who would have
purchased the McMillin lime interests.
This letter severely criticises McMU
lin's management and had the effect of
blocking the trade. In McMillin's affi
davit he also confirms the story that
he had practically completed a sale of
his' interest when the serving of Cow
ell's affidavit spoiled the deal. He
accuses the Cowells of having upset
past pians oi a similar nature
McMillin's affidavit is a recital of
the story of the company's organiza
tion and its management. An arraign
ment of Henry Cowell, frequently re
ferred to as -the "lime king" of the
coast, and a man "worth many millions
of dollars," occupied half a dozen, pages
of the affidavit.
McMillin charges he was a "grasp
ing, selfish and hard-hearted man,"
pursuing a vindictive course up to the
time of his "death by violence at the
age of 91."
McMillin justifies his removal to
Seattle and his increase in salary to
$12,000. He goes fully Into the details
of the experiments with the manufac
ture of barrels, and says he made
money for the company.
