ONE-FOURTH IS IN OREGON On Kve of Signing Bill Which With draws Authority, lie SIkus Proc lamations Rescuing Vast Area From Lumber Syndicates. WASHINGTON. March 4. Seventeen million acres of forest lands have been added to the forest reserves of the United Slates by proclamations issued by Presi dent Ttoosevelt and made public today. Thirty-two forest reserves are selected or Increased In area by these proclamations. The following memorandum tearing on the subject, dated March 2. was made public at the White House today: "These forest reserves were determined upon and the preparation of the neces sary papers ordered some months ago in two-thirds of the cases some years ago in the exercise of the duty imposed upon me by act of Congress of March 3, 1891. The utmost care and deliberation have been exercised in deciding upon the boun daries of the proposed reserves; in all but a very few cases long continued and de tailed field examinations have been made and in the remainder examinations amply sufficient to justify the proposed action. Act Now or Lose Timber. "The necessary proclamations under existing law now come before me and the question is presented whether I should re frain from acting under the existing law because there Is now under consideration by Congress a proposal to change the law ho as to require Congressional action upon the establishing oi such; forest reserves. If I did not act, reserves which I con sider very Important for the Interests of the United States would be wholly or in part dissipated before Congress has an opportunity again to consider the matter, while under the action which I propose to take they will be preserved; and If Congress differs from me in this action it will have full opportunity In the future to make such provisions as it may desire anent the discontinuance of the reserves by reformative action, taken with the fullest opportunity of considering the sub ject Itself and on Us own merits. If by any chance land more valuable for other purposes than for forest reserves Is shown to have "been included in those reserves, 1 forthwith shall restore it to entry. Save Land for Momemaker. "Failure on my part to sign these proclamations would mean that Immense tracts of valuable timber would fall into the hands of the lumber syndicates be cause Congress has no opportunity to act, whereas the creation of the reserves means that this timber will be kept in the interest of the homemaker; for our entire purpose in this forest reserve policy Is to keep the land for the benefit of the actual settler and homemaker; to fur ther his interests in every way and, while using the natural resources of the coun try for the 'benefit of the present gen eration, also to use them in such man ner as to keep them unimpaired for the benefit of the children now growing up to inherit the land. This is the final and exclusive object, not merely of our forest policy but of our whole public land lolicy." Reserves Created or Enlarged. The forest reserves created or In creased follow: Tolyobe.

NEW- RESERVES IX NORTHWEST President Adds Nearly 9.000,000 Acres to National Forests. OREGONIAN NWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 4. Prior to signing tse agricultural appropriation bill, which con tains Senator Fulton's amendment prohib iting the creation of forest reserves in the Northwestern states except by the s thorlty of Congress, the President today issued a proclamation creating 32 forest reserves in the six states affected by the Fulton amendment. His proclamations add 4.051.00O acres to the reserve area of Oregon. 4.2W.O0O acres in Washington and 5VO.000 acres in Idaho. The creation of these reserves probably marks the end of reserve extension in the Northwest for many years to come, for ihe additions now Include most of the Aeslrable timber land of all six states, so far as known to the Forest Service. Being hastily made In order to circum vent the restrictions of the Fulton amend ment, the reserves are loosely created and ro doubt contain much land that will be found unsuited to forestry purposes and which will ultimately be restored to entry. New Ileserves In Oregon. " The largest reservation In Oregon was an addition of 977.000 acres to the Blue Mountain reserves in Eastern Oregon. Other additions to existing reserves are: 446.000 to the Siskiyou in Southern Ore iron. 71.000 acres to the Weneha reserve. 514.000 to the Cascade reserve, mostly on its Western border, and 154.0OO to the Ash land reserve in Southwestern Oregon. To Include the timber land of the Coast Ransre the President created the Tilla mook reserve, containing 1S5.0oq acres ; the Coquille reserve, embodyiny-40,000 acres, and the Umpqua reserve, with an area of S02.000 acres. The Wallowa and Chesniminus reserves are combined under the name of Imnaha, and 7K1.000 acres are added. An exact description of the new reserves could not be obtained today. Larjtc Additions in Washington. In Washington the Washington reserve is enlarged by the addition of 2.275.000 . w . - ?-L George von L. Meyer, New I'ostmaa-ter-ieneraU . acres, which includes practically all Gov ernment land between the present "Wash ington and Rainier reserves. This makes one continuous reserve along the Cascade Mountains from the Columbia River to the International boundary. This addition embraces the Northern Pacific grant, but railroad lands are not made part of the reserve and no right of lieu selection accrues. A new reserve is createa to Include 857,000 acres of the Colville In dian lands; the Priest River reserve is created In Stevens County to contain 310.- 000 acres; the Olympic reserve is enlarged by 119.000 acres, and 750,000 acres are add ed to the Rainier reserve. Most of the forest land in Idaho has already been reserved. A Palouse reserve Is created with an area of 192,000 acres; the Port Neuf is created with an area of 100.000 acres; the Big; Horn is enlarged by the addition of 20,000 acres, and about 10.000 acres are added to the Weiser re serve.

SOME WHO FOUGHT ROOSEVELT Carmack, Millard and Wads worth Pay Penalty. BLACKBURN EARNS REWARD Support of President on Browns ville Riot Gets Him Place on the Canal Commission McC'leary Suffers for Standing Pat. WASHINGTON, March 4.-It Is prob able that the designation is resented, but "dead duck" is the name the surviving Congressmen apply to those who have failed of re-election. The Washington game bag is full of "dead ducks" today. Nine members of the Senate have yield ed their seats to their successors. The surrendering ones are J. Frank Alee of Delaware, James H. Berry of Arkansas, Joseph C. S. Blackburn of Kentucky, Kdward W.' Carmack of Tennessee. Wil liam A. Clark of Montana, John F. Dry den of New Jersey, Joseph H. Millard of Nebraska, Fred T. Dubois of Idaho and Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado. President Roosevelt has taken care of Mr. Blackburn. When the President needed help in the Senate in the Browns ville case Mr. Blackburn came to the front as an ally. The retiring Senator has been named by Mr. Roosevelt as a member of the Panama Canal Commis sion at $10,000 a year. Berry, One-Legged Confederate. In losing General Berry of Arkansas the Senate parts with a one-legged Con federate veteran who made up in head what he lacked at the other exremity. Jeff Davis, the man who will tell the Senate what he thinks of it when he gets here so he says will succeed General Berry. J. Frank Allee of Delaware never has shown brightly as a statesman. It is understood that he 13 not at all sorry that he Is to go back today to the jewelry store which he owns in the town of Dover. Tennesseeans say that Edward W. Car mack will be returned by his state six years hence, If he is living. Mr. Carmack was defeated by Robert Taylor, "the fiddler." It was curious, but true never theless, that Mr. Carmack's antagonism to Mr. Roosevelt lost him his seat in the Senate. The people of Tennessee, Demo crats though they are, have shown a disposition to support the President. Penury does not face William A. Clark mm A COUPLE OF VICTIMS OF THE PREVAILING PASSION of Montana. He has roofs in several cities of America and of Europe under which he can live. John F. Dryden of New Jersey has been in the Senate live years. He was chosen to nil an unexpired term. It was Mr. Dryden's heart's desire to come back to Washington, but there were enough Republicans in the Legislature w-ho. did not favor him to prevent the fulfillment of his ambition. Fred T. Dubois of Idaho declares that Mormonism is responsible for his loss of a seat in the Senate. Mr. Dubois is going back to fight the Mormon Church. Another veteran Democrat who leaves the Senate today is Thomas M. Patter son of Colorado. Patterson has been a follower of the administration on many occasions. He aroused his Democratic colleagues two or three times by refusing to join them in opposition to Mr. Roose velt. Joseph H. Millard, Republican, of Ne braska, goes out of office because he was opposed to the President's policies. He fought railroad rate legislation and he fought Mr. Roosevelt's Panama Canal policy. In the House today there were 72 mem- George B. Cortelyou, New Secretary of the Treasury. bers whose names will not be called at the next session. One of the prominent ones who will not be seen is General Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio, who tells ten stories to the minute and who fights and jokes alternately with the Demo crats. James W. Wadsworth of New York has been in the House for 20 years. He fought the Beveridge meat inspection law and In so doing it he fought the Presi dent. The result was that Mr. Wads- worth's constituents defeated him at the polls. James T. Mcdeary. "Rtand-pp.tter." of Minnesota J, W.iRabcwk of V iscorsin J. F. Lacey o,1 .iwa and L. N. Littauer of New York are other prominent ones who will go home to stay certainly for two years. Mr. McCieary is provided for by appointment as Second Assistant Postmaster-General.

With a new record for large appropriations and far- reaching legislation, the Fifty-ninth Con gress was brought to a close shortly after noon today. The last few hours were tame by comparison with what had been expected. Long before noon Sena tor GalHnger's fight for the passage of .the ship subsidy bill had bein abandoned and the filibuster against it conducted by Senator Carmack being no longer necessary, he surrendered the floor, much to the disappointment of the galleries. Extreme fatigue, due to continued night sessions In the House during the last week, had a dampening effect upon many Congressmen and the usual excessive "last day" enthusiasm was confined to less than half the membership. Roosevelt Has More Work. President Roosevelt, with his Cabinet White House staff and a number of guests, occupied the President's room in the Senate wing. Seated at a big table in the center of the room, he signed bills as they were enrolled and presented to him. On account of the dispatch with which business had been conducted dur- -FOR HIGH LIVING t ! . the past week there were only 40 bills to be signed today. The President was at the Capitol for more than an hour. When the members of the committee which waited upon him with the informa tion that Congress was ready to adjourn had delivered their message, the Presi dent thanked them for the laws that had been enacted, but he added with a smile that he still had several bills that would be heard from in the future. Silver Service for Grosvenor. Vice-President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon received the thanks of the mi nority for the Impartial manner in which they had presided over the deliberations of the two houses, and both made speeches expressing gratitude at the words of appreciation. A feature of the House session was the presentation of a club silver service of 300 pieces to General Grosvenor by his colleagues of the Fifty-ninth Con gress. In addition to the songs and stories that usually mark the close of session, ' the entire House of Repre- James R.

Puller, who has been repre senting the various railroad brotherhoods at the Capitol during the consideration of the railroad employes' hours bill was In the room at the time It was signed. The President shook hands with Mr. Ful ler. remarking. "You know the President only sets a percentage of what he wants." Mr. Roosevelt told Mr. Fuller that the measure was a step in the right direction, and he hoped It would result in more sweeping legislation in the future. PROMISES TO REVIVE CORPSE Gallinger Gives' Up Ship Subsidy Fight Till Xext Session. . WASHINGTON, March 4. The ship subsidy bill, which has been before Con gress in a more or less prominent way for the. hist two years, and for the past two days in a more acute form, finally re ceived ltn quietus in the Senate at 11 o'clock today, when Gallinger, In behalf of the measure, rose and finally an THE - RECONSTRUCTED CABINET.

Before making this announcement he made a last request for a vote, whereupon Carmack expressed his regret "that the bill would still lead to extended debate." '' Thereupon Gallinger made the final an nouncement that he would not further press the measure during this session Before, however, he came to this state ment, he entered into a furious though brief argument in support of the bill, Two days of "frivolous debate," he said. had occurred ' upon the measureand he felt it his duty to call attention to the salient points involved in connection with the subject. "Nine per cent of our commerce Is car ried in American ships," said Gallinger. "The remaining 91 per cent is carried in foreign ships. We pay these forefgn ships $300,000,000 annually and this sum is dis tributed among the people of foreign na tions." This condition. Gallinger predicted would not always last. The American people, who lead the world in agriculture and manufactures, would not be content with this condition when It was well understood. Concluding, Gallinger said in giving up the fight for the bill at this session, he did so without any feeling of hostility or unkindness. "With thla," he said, "I am content to Wt the matter rest for the present. But I want here and now to give notice to my associates In this chamber and to the citizens of this Republic that so long as I remain in public life I shall not remain silent, but shall exert myself to the utmost to secure legislation on this important subjject."

MANY LEADERS IN GOVERNMENT Seven American Presidents of Irish Descent. FIRST PLACE IN INDUSTRY Great Inventors and Manufacturer. Pioneers of Churches, Catholic and Protestant) Commercial Discoverer of Alaska. BY FREDERIC J. HAS KIN. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. It is said that two-thirds of the entire Irish race are in the United States; and that there . are more Irish In Boston than in any other city In the world. South Carolina has the largest Irish population of any siaie in tne union. Kearly half of tha Continental troops under Washinrrnn were of Irish descent, and many of the most valiant officers of the Revolution wore small green flags on their coats to mark their double allegiance. The connection of the Irish with Amer ica goes back to the earliest history of the country. First there is the legendary visit of St. Brendan, devout missionary and daring navigator, whose 'supposed visit to our shores antedated the landing of Columbus by a thousand years. There were Irish pilgrims on the Mayflower, and 500 or 600 members of this race came over In the stormy times of Cromwell. As early as 1716, 500 Irish families went to South Carolina. There were Irish Quakers In the settlement of William Penn, and before the Revolution nearly half of the members of the Pennsylvania Legislatures were Irish. Leaders in Revolution. Nine of the signers of the Declaration i of independence were either Irish or -f , direct Irish descent. John Barry was given the first Captaincy in the American Navy, and the naval honors he won for the Emerald Isle were continued by Stephen Decatur, of direct Irish extrac tion. "Mad Anthony" Wayne was Irish to his finger tips, and was belligerently proud of It.' Captain Daniel Patrick, the noted Indian fighter of the Massachu setts Bay Colony, was born in Ireland. This undaunted people were the first to make their way across the Alleghenies, under the leadership of their country men, Daniel Boone and David Crockett. General Sam Houston never failed to re mark on his Irish blood, of which he was aggressively proud. Both Miles Standlsh and John Alden were Irish. The popular conception that there are more Irishmen In politics than anywhere else, is not far from the truth. There Is an old saying that they have ruled every other country In the world but their own. Seven of the 25 American Presidents have been of Irish descent, and two Presidential candidates, James G. Blaine and Horace Greeley, were of that blood. John C. Calhoun, the master statesman and orator, was the son of Patrick Cal houn, born in Donegal County, Ireland. The first Mayor of New York after the Revolution was Joseph Duane, the son of a County Galway Irishman. Massa chusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont were once governed by three brothers named Sullivan. One of the most pic turesque figures in the whole history' of American ' politics was General James Shields, hero of the Mexican and Civil Wars, Governor of Oregon. Chief Jus tice of Illinois and the only man who ever served three terms 'in the United States Senate, each time from a different state. He was first sent from Illinois, then from Minnesota, and finally from Missouri. Power In New York Politics. The power of the Irish in New York politics is proverbial. The first grand sachem of Tammany was William Mooney, also the first to sign its consti tution. "Honest John" Kelly and Charles O'Connor were both leaders of Tammany who fought against the Tweed ring. Rich ard Croker and his lieutenant and suc cessor, Charles F. Murphy, are both Irish. We also have many Irish reform ers, such as Patrick Moran, District At torney of Boston; Mayor Dunne, of Chi cago, and Mayor Pagan, of Jersey City. Patrick J. Boyle has served eleven terms as Mayor of Newport, Rhode Island. Among the Irish In high political places in all parts of the Union might be named Tom Taggart. of Indiana; Senator Pat terson, of Colorado; Senator Carter, of Montana; Representative Bourke Cochran, of New York; Representatlva Burke, of South Dakota; Bernard S. Rodney, dele gate from 'New Mexico, .and Justice Ed ward D. White and Justice Joseph Mc Kenna, of the United States Supreme Court. Edward A. Mosely. secretary of the Interstate commerce committee, who has labored for years to get the railroads to adopt protective appliances for the personal sofety of their employes, is al ways jokingly insistent on his Irish blood. Irish in Realm of Finance. The Irish have a large representation tn the realm of finance. Thomas Fortun Ryan, a loyal Son of Erin, Is said by many to be the coming king of American finance.
