He arrived yesterday from Bay City by train and by appointment met E II. Cherry, Lloyds' agent at Astoria, at the office of Anderson A Crowe here, where he examined his awaiting- mall and re ceived Instructions to await the ar rival from Seattle this morning of Mr. Taylor, German Lloyd agent, who Is to make the final decision as to the dis position of the stranded vessel. The first action will be to make a "no cure no pay" offer to the wreckers of the Coast to take her off the beach and deliver her inside the Columbia River, which is the recognised "first aid" in marine rases, permitting pos sible Insurance adjustments later. The Puget Sound Tow Boat Company and the Port of Portland tow boat service have been reauested to make Immediate suggestions to take the ves- I t J i , , it rr-t I active measures will be Inaugurated to day. Captain Westfall made the following statement: "On the afternoon previous to the vessel going ashore both the mate and I were sure of our position as 40 miles off the mouth of the Columbia and stood In southeast until we found bot tom in 65 fathoms. At the same time we saw lights that we took for a steamer coming out of the Columbia River but It was only after we struck that It was discovered the lights were small fires on the beach. At 'no time were we In distress as much as the lifesavlng crew that came out to our assistance. The vessel, drawing 12 feet with sand ballast. Is resting easily with one anchor and 150 fathoms of chain. 400 yards from deep water. Un less a sudden storm should arise the vessel should be taken off easily at the high tide of next Thursday."

SHIPPING TOWAGE GAIXIXG Lloyd's Register Shows Growth In Vessels of Better Class. Lloyds' Register of British and For eign Shipping In Its annual summary of shipbuilding at home and abroad during the year 1912, shows that dur ing that period In the United Kingdom, exclusive of warships, 712 vessels of 1,738.514 tons gross were launched, practically all being of steel construc tion and nearly 99 per cent of steam tonnage. These figures are entirely exclusive of war vessels being con structed for the British and other gov ernments.

The Register shows that Germany has an Increase of nearly 120,000 tons, which Is 57,000 tons greater than any year in its history. The new tonnage for the United States is over 112,000 tons mora than any previous year, 90, 000 tons of the aggregate being launched on the Great Lakes. France shows a decrease of 15,000 tons, while Holland in a smaller way shows an in crease. Japan shows a fairly good gain, but it was almost exclusively of small vessels for coast and interlsland business. In summing up tne figures In the Register It is stated: "The net in crease of the worlds mercantile ton nage at the end of 1912 Is thus about COS, 000 tons. Steam tonnage has been increased by about 2.276,000 tons, while sailing tonnage has been reduced by 68.000 tons.'- miles north of Cape Blanco at 6 P. February 16.

In his re cent communication to The Oregonian, of great Interest to this country. Sec retary Fisher claims much credit for the new three-year homestead law, its great merit being, he says, that it re laxes the former period of residence and permits absence. There is, though not intended, a quiet humor in this when It Is considered that In the new requirement for the vastly greater area of. cultivation, in much less time than formerly, the settler, especially in the timbered country, will have no oppor tunity for absence, so that Instead of. liberalizing. It actually imposes in most cases an impossible task to the poor man. In fact, to many it must result a the abandonment of homes occupied in good faith and constant endeavor for years. The Secretary gives assurance that in the discretion confided to him there will be no abuse of the rule requiring residence and definite area in culti vation. Unfortunately, this is only he promising to the ear and the break- ng to the hope. Cases have already gone in numbers from various local land offices on appeal to him with most convincing evidence of good faith and untiring effort toward com pliance with the law under which homesteaders settled, with long years of toll, but they have been turned down and their proofs rejected. The Secretary's rules as enforced do not, as he claims, "fit actual conditions as they exist." There Is an unhappy res- rvatlon. The homestead claim upon which may be found merchantable tim ber is doomed at the very outset. Nor there any statute or former-regu latlon to warrant It. The right to uch land Is denied the settler and that far he is branded as a speculator and often worse, and no evidence of good faith can excuse or overcome the presumption adverse to him. This de fines what another portion of the Seo retary's report terms "the prevention or non-resident exploitation.' Universal History Denied. A homestead of forest land Is In hla theory "non-resident exploitation. He says the homestead entry should only be of land suitable for homes, 1 which we all agree. Then he decides that land covered with valuable tlm ber is not suitable for homes. He seems to admit of no exceptions. And thl: In the face of the universal hiptory o pioneer homes in the West. Many of us remember in our state the stretches of once dense forest for many miles In extent along the Willamette, th Tillamook, the Sluslaw, the Nehalem and along other Coast rivers and the tributaries. The soil was fertile and would support thriving homes. We have seen those vast solitudes cleared of tree and stump and brush, with ax, saw and grubbing hoe, and now or chards, grain fields and meadows greet tne eye. it was not timber specula tlon which invited settlement of those lands. 1 recall our own settlement of th Coqullle River Valley 63 years bro. From tne mountains to the sea, for 60 miles and over, the lowlands were covered with an impenertable mass of myrtle, maple and ash, with scattering ceaar ana nr growth. In some places us aense as tne jungles of the Ganges. uur pioneer neighbors were not snecu lators for that splendid timber. It was the rich alluvial soil they sought for actual permanent homes. To clear that land, however, was the struggle o their lives. But after long years of hardship and privation it was done. To. day it is one of the garden spots of uregon. xne entire valley consists of fields, meadows and orchards. floo-J roads have supplanted our early trails. towns ana villages and a thrifty pop uiation exist where in our day the trapper and the miner were at flr almost th sole occupants. Those same lands are now higthly cultivated and Improved, and $200 and $250 per acre is regarded as a reasonable price for must oi inem. Theory Won Id Retard Settlement. Had Secretary Fisher's theories vailed that once vast wilderness would nave continued until today. ut tne secretary more rullv re veals himself and his attitude to our forest settlers when he again savs 'One of the abuses of the homeatoal law has been the entry under It of land cnieny valuable for timber." nrt "e nimseii Droceeds under- a misapprehension of the reeulatlons and decisions of his own department. wmcn nave prevailed ever since the ad ministration or the homestead law. In steaa or an abuse of that law, such an entry has been In strict compliance with its letter and spirit. The rule is mat valuable timber upon the home stead land does not exclude It from homestead privilege, if the soil, when denuded of that timber, be suitable for agricultural use. That has been the test. indeed, one of his Immediate predecessors Secretary Garfield rec ognized this principle and this justice in a weii-itnown homestead commuta tion appeal case before him from the State of Washington. The land con tained upon it 11,000,000 feet of mer chantable timber. In his decision he said: inere is abundant express rec ognition of the right to take under the nomestead laws lands which are valu able chiefly for timber, and of the fact tnat mere may oe a bona fide settle ment on lands of the character of that here." He then proceeded to examine the evidence, as the West would ask Sec retary Fisher to do in like cases sub mitted to him. The soil was found to be of clay and gravel and nracticallv valueless for farming, the residence was meager and there was scant final proof and good .faith lacking. The in tent to make a home was doubtful, and peculation seemea to be the only mo tive, and the proof was rejected. There was no objection, as Secretary Fisher would now make, to the quantity of timber on the land. Timber Not Slg-a of Bad Faith. In the appeal case before another Secretary a few years ago, that of McKay, a homestead claimant In Cal ifornia, where the land was densely covered with redwood and chiefly val uable tneretor, as tne decision states, the test again was not as to the ex clusion of such land from homestead entry, but whether the settler had complied with other requirements of the law. . The strongest proof that such has been the policy and practice of the Secretary's office is a recent decision from there in the homestead contest of Titus vs. Devlne, arising In this Roseburg district. That land contained 20,000,000 feet or more of merchant- ble timber. The claimant settled be fore survey. His entry was contested on the ground that the land was more valuable for timber than for agricul tural purposes, and for meager culti vation and insufficient residence. There was not two acres of land cleared, evi dently owing to the heavy timber, but he had made of It a comfortable home for ten years. On review of a pre vious adverse decision the Secretary's office sustained the settler on all points in the following language: "In the decisions heretofore rendered adverse to Devine, bad faith seems to have been largely imputed from the fact that the tract is heavily timbered. There ia no reason to impute bad faith against an entryman simply because the tract he selected for a home Is heavily timbered. That is merely a circumstance to be taken in connection with other direct evidence showing failure to comply with the law. In this case there is no direct evidence to be so aided. All the direct evidence bearing on tha fact of residence and of cultivation tends to show that De vine complied with the law as closely as a pioneer settler can well do and better than most of them do An entryman seeking and making a home on the public domain should at some time have the controversy as to hi good faith cease." Strong Contrast Shown. This Is in strong contrast with the liberality evidenced in Secretary Fish er's .construction of our settlement laws as to timbered homesteads. Numerous decisions of like import with these by almost every secretary since the passage of the homestead law can be cited. Nor is it thought there Is anything in the original homestead aw or in the amended law to which Secretary Fisher has promulgated hi drastic regulations that expressly or Impliedly warrant the interpretation he gives such law, as to timbered homestead lands, and especially as to the Inference he attaches to the good faith of all those who settle on the same. But the Secretary, as before sug gested, claims a merit for the new law since it confers upon him a discretion, which will permit him, he says, to al low a reduction In the area of culti vated land, and thus reduce the hard ship to the settler, but he qualifies this again by requiring that it mus be "on land which is not really tlm ber land but is agricultural land cov ered with brush or other growth. Here again we perceive incontestible evidence of his having overlooked the long line of departmental precedents with a view to a policy nowhere Just ified as we think by the law as it Is written. There Is still another complaint which arises from the new law itself and from the Secretary's construction of it. It is in the refusal to consider and to credit the settler with his residence on the land prior to survey. Such right Is not allowed to relate back to settle ment which the law permitted at the time. Coa tract With Cltlaea Shown. This law was the act of May 14, 1880. the section being as follows: "That any settler who has settled or who shall hereafter settle on any oi the public lands of the United States, whether surveyed or unsurveyea, wim the intention of claiming the same un der the homestead laws of the United States shall be allowed the same time to file his homestead application and perfect his original entry in the United States land office as is now allowed to settlers under the pre-emption laws to put their claims of record, and his right shall relate back to the date of settlement, the same as if ne settiea under the pre-emption laws." This was In a sense a contract be tween the Government and the citizen. To violate it by a subsequent law Is to impair the obligation of that con tact. This provision of the law is now entirely Ignored. It is hoped tne oec retarv will relieve this hardship. In many cases residence has extend ed over a dozen years, the settler pa tlently waiting from year to year for the survey so long delayed. And when it does come after June 6, 1912, he is informed that his proof based on that prior residence Is of no avail and can not be received, but that there must be a further residence to date from the new entry then to be made. His past cultivation, sufficient under the pre vious law, is likewise condemned un less equal to that provided In the new law. It is here his troubles Degm. This rigid requirement finds him un- oreDared. It is contrary to tne orig inal law. New conditions are Imposed. In most cases they are difficult and Impossible for a poor man to perform. Settler's Status Changed. Under the former law he had earned the right to make final proof and to receive patent. He had nothing more to do. The law authorized settlement on unsurveyea iana, ana nvo yemo residence gave patent. Reasonable ex tent of cultivation was only required. With this new law and tne secre tary's regulations, the status of the settler is entirely changed. Had the new conditions been foreshadowed few homesteaders would have settled on unsurveved land, and if not soon re lleved many must forfeit their present holdings. A. poor man claiming itu acres cannot remove trees and brush and dig up stumps on 30 acres of the timbered land and clear for the plow and place it in cultivation within the time required. ,jne seituns B b""u faith nr or to June 6, lsiz, snouia De s-nverned hv the law which then pre iled.
