DELAY STATE BUILDINGS
No Funds Provided for Increase in
Salaries Comity Officials Xext
Session Must Provide for De
ficiency Appropriations.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. March W. (Special.)
Errors and omissions of the last Legis
lature are coming to light as the various
state officers and others examine the new
laws and discuss their operation. O e
of the most serious omissions bids fair
to block construction this year of the
large number of new buildings-planr.eJ
for educational and other institutions.
This was due to the fact that no
emergency clause was added to the bill
giving the Board of Control custody an4
control of the State Capitol and other
wise adding to the powers of this board,
coupled with the fact that an amendment
was made to the general appropriations
bill providing that all expenditures for
new buildings, penal, educational or
charitable, be under the direction of this
board. This appropriation bill is effective
April 1 and the moneys are available to?
use that day. but the other bill giving
the board powers will not take effect for
9ft days from the close of the session.
Had this latter bill carried an emergency
the board might right now be "In consultEL
tlon with the university and state college
regents and trustees ot the normals, so
that early next month plans for the new
building would be under way, and con
tracts would be awarded early and con
struction be under way this Summer. As
It Is. PO days will be lost and before
construction will be well started Winter
will be at hand to block progress.
Another break made by the legislators
nlvides responsibility for maintenance of
-:he Capitol. For 90 days Secretary of
State Sam H. Xichols will be in control.
Thereafter the Board of Control will take
charge. Sam Nichols will not surrender
one bit of authority until he has to do
fio, and in consequence the other new law
requiring the board to make a number
of extensive mprovements to the State
house will have to be inoperative until
mid-Summer, when the board will have
full charge and can go ahead with its
plans.
The Legislature Increased the salaries
of state and county officials. The seneral
appropriation bill passed this session car
i tes the first three months- salaries of
the next state officers, but no account
was taken of increases in salaries and
no provision was made to pay them, so
one of the first things the next session
will have to take up will t3 deficiency
appropriations to rectify this emission.
Kvery day adds to the list of mistakes
and oversights of the recent session

Inspector Fern of Idaho Reserves
Sees Directing Hand of Weyer
haeuser State Gets Best Land.
LJEWISTOX, Idaho. March 19. (Spe
cial.) While in Lewi stem today Ma
jor Frank A. Fenn, sviperintendont of
forest reserves in Idaho, Washington
and Montana, was asked by a. repre
sentative of the Evening" Teller, "do
you meet with any difficulty in deal
ing with, the huge timber syndicates
recently formed? He replied: ,
"I venture to say that at least 90
per cent of the timber companies,
which aro formed and being formed in
this and other localities, are under the
direction of the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Company and are simply subsidiary
organizations which will in time re
vert to the original money investors.
"I find that at least one-half of the
homesteads, which have been taken up
late by people residing in a timbered
locality, under the timber and stone
act. have been filed on with the ulti
mate purpose of selling to the tim
ber trust companies.
"T have asked several of these, al
ledged timber locators the reason for
their filing and they frankly owned
up to the fact that the claims were
taken up for the sole purpose of mak
ing what money they could out of
them by selling them to the larger
timber companies. The policy which
has been advocated by Senator Hey
burn is meeting with approval in most
localities.
'A plan has been submitted to th
President, the Governor and other
state representatives, and has met
with their approval, regarding the sale
of barren lands owned by the state,
denuded of their timber to the Gov
ernment in exchange for timbered
lands which might be held for an in
definite time, the timber sold, and a
amount of moner equal to 8 per cent
of the investment secured, and the
money derived applied to the school
funds of the state, particularly in out
standing communities w'hcrj sections
of land under cultivation are so far
separated as to make the sustain
ance of a public school almost Im
possible. "Residents of the state are coming
to a realization of the fact that they
can no longer afford, from a finan
cial standpoint, to pass up a business
proposition which will in Jess than
25 years yield an amount of money
equal to 50 per cent of investment,
and in 50" years repay the $12,000,000
expended on the proposition.

LIQUOR SOLD ON PREMISES
Land Was Originally Owned by Uni
versity and Early Deed Restricted
Sale of Liquor Defense Is
Statute of Limitations.
HILLS BORO, Or., March 19. (Special.)
The celebrated reversion of land cases,
suits brought by Pacific University,
opened In Circuit Court here this morn
ing. The first case at' bar, and which Is
now on trial, is that of the college against
Mary R. Miller and husband, Charles F.
Miller.
Pacific University first deeded block 2,
in Forest Grove, in 1857,. and the particu
lar piece of property riow being swught
has changed hands many times. In the
first, and several of the deeds following,
there was a clause restricting the sale or
gift of liquors as a beverage. In some of
the later deeds, bringing the chain of title
down to the Millers, the restrictive clause
was not in the Instruments.
The University, upon the ground that
liquor has been sold on the place, asks
that the court give them possession un
der the rights of the restrictive sentence.
The defense is making a fight on the
grounds that the University has for 17
years had knowledge that the restriction
has been violated, and that by not acting
upon their alleged rights the school or
ganization has lost its privilege by the
statute of limitations.
Milton W. Smith is counsel for Pacific
University, assisted by Attorney Latour
ette. of Portland, and Bagley & Hare,
local attorneys. S. B.' Huston, of Port
land, and E. B. Tongue, of this city are
attorney's for the Millers.
The case Is exciting considerable inter
est here because of the long drawn and
many attemps of Pacific Universtty to
stop the sale of liquors in Forest Grove,
and for the reason that the property in
volved ia now very valuable. The block
in which the property is located was orig
inally sold for $200. and Miller, it Is
stated, paid $3000 for it, and it is now
valued at $5000. Tliere are several more
cases of the same type, the decisions of
which will largely depend upon the out
come of the case at bar.
Luther D. Mahone. the Congregational
minister who went from Astoria to For
est Grove and represented that he was
going on a fishing trip In the mountains,
and upon this representation secured a
bottle of whisky, is one of Pacific Univer
sity's star witnesses, and he will be used
to prove the sale of ardent spirits. The
case will probably take several days in
trial.
