SEATTLE. July 24. Ex-Secretary of
the Interior Richard A. Bellinger, who
Is taking a deep 'Interest In the publlo
land convention to be held September
In Denver, today gave out an at
tack on the Government's Alaska
policy. He said:
"Alaska's Brst and greatest misfor
tune waa the establishment of forest
reserves. As a matter of wisdom and
necessity, there Is oovalld excuse for
the existence of these reserves for the
conservation of water sheds to pro
tect the flow of navigable streams, or
to conserve moisture, aa nature re
forests these areas without the aid
of the "SUvaoulturlst:" nor Is there,
because of great precipitation, danger
from forest tires. Much of the timber
contained within these reserves Is
over ripe and should be marketed and
used In Alaska for Ita own necessities.
"It Is also true that vast areaa now
In the reserves were extended, not for
the purpose of recovering forests or
merchantable timber, but to dominate
the country. Including therein large
areas available only for mining.
The Chugach National Forest aa
first established did not cover the Ber
ing River coalfields, but was extended
In 107 and lsos by proclamations,
with no other conceivable puraose ex
cept to bring these coal measures
within tha domination of the forestry
bureau."

Cornell President Believes Applica

SEATTLE. July 24. Jacob Bchur
man. president of Cornell University,
waa entertained at luncheon today by
tha Commercial Club of Seattle. Speak
ing after tha luncheon, he said:
"The declslona of the Bupreme Court
In the Standard Oil and tobacco cases
mark an epoch. In the organization of
business In the United States. The
court held. In substance, that enly
such reatrlctlons of competition as are
nnreasonable are forbidden by the
Sherman law. The application of tha
criteria laid down by tha Supreme
Court ahould be a aufflclent protection
to tha public and to business men in
the future. They require fair play In
competition with rivals and fair prices
to tha conaumlng public, and as a con
dition of both, the absence of anything
like monopoly.
Public Is Protected.
"I believe that tha decisions of the
Supreme Court In these great trust
eases furnish honest business, however
colossal Its undertakings, a solid
ground to stand upon, while at the
same tlma they adequately protect both
competitors and the consuming public
"I have not, therefore, much sym
pathy with the policy which the Attorney-General
of tha United States
outlined a few days ago In a speech.
Mr. Wlckersham would have the Fed
eral Government regulate corporatlona
doing Interstate business, as It now
regulates the railways. And he does
not draw back. In theory, at least,
frem the colossal task of fixing the
prices of the commodities they sell to
the American people.
"Our experience with railway regu
lation la still young. And there are
two things which differentiate rail
ways from business corporations. First,
railways are publlo carriers whleh en
Joy the right of eminent domain. And,
secondly, we have gone Into tha busi
ness, of regulating them with the full
eonaclousness that the Federal Gov
ernment may have to take them over
ih.i, nrMAtit nrlvata owners. The
experiences of other countries with ex
press service ana railway
reconcile me to that possible. If re

BONDS ARE REJECTED
GRESHAM ISSUE REFUSED BY
DEXTER. BUYERS.
Allegations Made That Oregon Sys
tem of Incorporating Munici
palities Is Faulty.
GRESHAM, Or., July 24. (Special.)
Ore. ham awarded water and lower
bonds laet Spring- to the amount of
$25,000 to E. H. Rollins & Sons, of Den
ver, and City Recorder D. M. Roberta
baa Juat received word that the Issue
bad been rejected on a technicality.
The rejection waa based on e.n opin
ion from a Boaton law firm which has
made tha Interesting discovery that the
Oregon system of incorporating munici
palities Is faulty and that city bonds
are - worthless unless the laws ar
changed. The letter of the law firm re
ceived from Rollins & Sons by Record
er Roberts reads as follows:
"We have examined the additional
papers submitted to us with reference
to the Greaham, Or., bonds. In a let
ter of June 5 we asked to see a certi
fied copy of the notice calling the elec
tion of December 7, 1909. together with
the proof of Its publication. The elec
tion referred to was ttie one at which
the charter amendments authorizing
tha Issue of bonds was adopted. The
City Recorder In his affidavit states
that no notice of the election was given
for the reason that the charter pro
vides that 'the Council shall select one

REFRIGERATORS
If vou wish a luxury in the way of a refrigerator, get a
HERBICK. They are sanitary, economical and the best
system to keep foods pure and in perfect condition. Posi
tively no mold, no taint.
It is not the cold alone which is so essential in refrig
eration, but the circulation of COLD DRY AIR, forced, to
every square inch, keeping it always dry, sweet and clean.
It is the only system by which it is possible to keep foods
pure, thus eliminating all danger of disease from contami
nation or taint.
Perishable foods are preserved in the best possible
manner. Fruits, vegetables, can be stored together with
milk, cream, butter, etc., without taint. Dryness is abso
lutely necessary in a refrigerator, when health is con
sidered. .

or more polling places and shall ap
point such Judges and clerks of
election and fix their compensation and
give suoh notices of eleotlon as may be
prescribed by ordinance," and that as
no ordinance has been passed prescrib
ing the notice of election, no notice was
given.
"We wish, however, to call your at
tention to the fact that section 2 of the
same chapter provides that at all elec
tions within and for the town of
Greshara the general election laws of
Oregon, so far as the same may be ap
plicable, shall govern. In view of this
we think that notice of the election
should have been given. In accordance
with the requirements of the general
laws relating to the notices of elections,
and as these laws were not complied
with we shall be unable to approve tha
legality of the bonds."
The whole matter has been referred
to City Attorney Beaton for his opinion.
The bonding company put up a certified
check for $2500, which is' being held,
and further legal complications may
arise.
The whole affair seems to hinge on
the question of whether the Oregon sys
tem of granting city charters will stand
the test. Meanwhile, the Installation
of Gresham's water system has been
delayed indefinitely and may have serious-results,
as it is intended to connect
the city mains with the second Bull
Run pipe line, on a contract with the
Portland Water Board.
The advent of the Mount Hood car
shops hinges on securing a. supply of
water, and a serious delay In that quar
ter may lose Gresham the shops.
