8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAtf, PORTLAND?, JUNE 7, 1903. TO STOP THE LEAKS Harriman Lines Will Change Timber Land Policy. SELLiHO MORE SMALL TRACTS Losses Suffered 1r the Past From Fires and OvcrcattingWIU Be -Checked Sale of Large Tracts May Continue. The Harriman Interests aro not likely to sell much more timber land In single tracts. This policy. It Is believed by representatives- o the Harriman Interests who have been looking over the situation, Jias resulted In heavy losses in the past and a marked reform is sure to follow. Heretoforo-the Harriman lines have sold timber to purchasers as applications were filed. Small mlllowners or settlers have taken up Isolated tracts of timber land e.nd have cleared them according to their own requirements. They have secured the timber land at a fair price, and the prin cipal interest the purchaser has had In It has been to realize as soon as possible on the stumpage. While the officials of the Harriman lines do not charge it, there is reason to believe that many purchasers of timber have not been careful to mark the boundary lines of their purchases, and that the railroads have lost much of their holdings by .care lessness in cutting. Though the Intention. of the owners of small tracts may have been good. It is insisted that they cut too much. Any losses of this Jrindthat may have been suffered arenot-attractlng he atten tion from higherc'o'fflclaJs that other leaks do. It is natural' foY a settler or a timer land owner. In slashing and cutting, out his holdings, to start fires to clear up the ground. These fires have not. been watched as they should have been, and as a result the Harriman interests have lost heavily from destructive fires. It is in sisted that most of these fires were start ed on lands that the railroads had eodL A careful investigation of all timber land leaks was made a short tlme ago by a New York specialist, and he has made a thorough report of the situa'tlon to the higher representatives of the Harriman interests in New York. So far as known here, no definite action has yet been taken by the railroad officials, but it Is certain that some reforms will be made. There does not appear to be any strong eentlment In favor of holding the timber lands owned by. the railroad. While It Is felt they would rapidly enhance In value, the danger of Ipsses through, fires or the operation of timber pirates Is always pres ent. Naturally, the railroads with timber holdings as a side Issue could not devote the attention to them that private log ging companies or "timber-land owners could. It has been suggested that the railroad may sell the stumpage in large blocks to responsible loggers, who will cut the tim ber within a specified time. The advan tage of this plan. It is shown, is that after the timber Is gone the railroad would still possess rich land that could be sold to advantage to new settlers. Since the Har riman lines established an energetic Im migration bureau, the lack of available lands to carry out the plans of Immigra tion officials has been a serious draw back. The railroad does not want to pur- chase new lands, and will not do so, but it might use its logged-off properties ad vantageously. There is a possibility that the timber lands might be sold to large corporations. who would do with the land as they saw fit. This is the plan the Northern Pacific followed in Washington -when that road Bold something over 900,000 acres of tim ber land to the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. The sum the Northern Pacific realized from this sale, something like $6;000,000, in round numbers, was not need ed by the road in any way. but the sale served to allow the railroad to get its timber holdings off Its hands. Whatever may be done by the Harriman interests with their timber. It is certain that a change In the policies of the past will be made. like manner plainly marked or labeled with the word kerosene or 'coal joIW and with the degree Fahrenheit of fire test below which the same will not burn." The manufacture or sale of linseed oil "which is not wholly the product of commercially-pure linseed or flaxseed" is prohibited. The law does not prohibit "the sale or manufacture of any com pound of linseed or flaxseed oil, but such compound- must not be represented as pure product. Enforcement of the laws, is vested in the Dairy and Food Commissioner. DIAMOND IMPORTERS FOXY True Valne of Jewels Is Not Given, bat Xo La iv Is Evaded. NEW YORK. June 6.

The dia monds were appraised there at 200 and 210 florins. Mr. Sharrats brought the stones to this city, and after consulting several experts, the appraisement was raised to 210 and 225. It developed during the hear ing that the Norfolk concern had never imported diamonds before, and these dia monds originally had been purchased abroad by a New York firm, which in turn sold them to the Norfolk dealer, who imported them. Much evidence came out at the hearing concerning the practice of certain New York dealers in importing stones through smaller Dorts. where. It is asserted, the appraisers are not in touch with the fluc tuations in prices.

The defendants attempted to plead that the current in the river -caused the ac cident and that they wcro not responsible. The court decided that they were re sDonsible for the current as they under took to navigate it. A further defense was 'that the accident was caused by the action of the captain ot the Almond Branch and that the others are not re sDonslble for the acts of the captain of the Almond Branch. The court neia mat, as the two vessels, the Vulcan and Al mond Branch, were lashed together, they were, as far as the Morrison-street bridge was concerned, one vessel under steam and the defendants are Jointly and sever ally responsible for the negligent acts of the captain of the Almond Hrancn. This decision renders the pathway ot the county clear In Its attempt to recover the damages which the county sustained by reason of the collision, and settles an lm portant proposition of law for Multnomah County, as it has three bridges to main tain and operate. DECREE IX SAWMILL CONTEST. Reed Awarded Nearly ?30,00O, and Receiver Appointed. Judge .Frazer signed a decree yesterday In the suit of Gardner K. Wilder against W. I. Reed, dissolving the partnership and appointing- a receiver for the Rainier Mill & Lumber Company and the Gray's River logging camp. The decree states that the capital stock of the Rainier Mill & Lumber Company was 560.000, in which Wlluer & Reed had a joint interest, and that Wilder has a-joint interest in the Gray's River Logging Camp, purchased In November, 1901, and in which 5777!) joint moneys altogether were invested. The decree further states that Reed orig inally bought the mill property for 53000. and conveyed one-half Interest to Wilder for 57500. Reed Is decreed to be entitled, to receive 52S.713 and 575S Interest, and from the total Is to be deducted 51447. According to the decree, the mill paid well. It cost both 515,000 In the first place, and was turned into the corporation by Reed and. Wilder, who owned the con cern jointly, for 530.000. They afterwards contributed 515,000 each. The mill was much Improved, and the company seems to be worth the full value. 5G0.C00, not In cluding what has been drawn out for va rious things and expenses. OPEN FIGHT OX RAILROADS. Georgia Pcnchsrroivcrs Allege Dis crimination in Freight Rates. WASHINGTON, June 6. The Georgia Peachgrowers Association, with all its principal offices in Macon, today filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission that the present high rail road rates of fruit shipments to Northern and Eastern markets will practically de stroy the peach business. The complaint names the following roads as defendants: The Atlantic Coast Line, Central of Geor gia, Seaboard Air Line. Southern Rail way, Georgia & Florida Railway, Georgia Railroad -Company, Western &. Atlantic, Macon. Dublin & Savannah, and Balti more & Ohio. The complaint alleges that .the rates to Eastern points are approxi mately one-third higher per mile than to Western points; that three-fourths of the cars of peaches now go East on ac count of the larger markets there, and it is claimed, therefore, that actual expense to the railroads should be less than to Western points. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. EXCURSIOXISTS.. COMING. Presbyterians "Will Visit Portland on Homeward Journey. Presbyterians returning from the Gen eral Assembly to their homes in the East have begun to start North, though the number moving at present is not very large. It is questionable whether very many isolated parties will return by the northern route, but there will be two big parties in Portland during the coming week that are returning by special trains. The first big party will arrive about noon on June 9. and will leave at 11 P. M., after having spent a portion of the day looking over, this city. A second party is to ar rive later In the day, and will riot only see Portland, but will make the Columbia RJver trip. This party will devote most of June 10 to the upper-river country. Both these parties are to return East by way of Tacoma and Seattle. They will also visit Yellowstone Park. A big Raymond-Whltcomb party is due in Portland this week, and other excur sion parties are to follow. WORK FOR MR. BAILEY. New Law Against Misrepresenting Quality of Coal and Linseed. The Oregon Legislature at Its last ses sion passed two laws to regulate the sale of linseed oil and coal oil. The pur pose of the laws Is to prevent the-sale of inferior oils at high-grade prices. Much poor oil has been brought Into this state and sold on misrepresentation of Its Qualities. Farmers have complained great deal about the poor Illuminating oil for which they have paid high prices. In their interest Representative Gallo way, of Yamhill, Introduced the bill for the coal-oil law. Persons or companies wno import or sen coa on wmcn ignites at a temperature below 120 degrees are liablo to fine and imprisonment. Benole, benzine, gasoline, naptha and distillates must be sold under their true names and grades respectively, and such names and grades must be impressed or otherwise plainly marked upon the bar rel, can, or vessel in which the same 13 sold, offered or exposed for sale, respect ively, or upon a label conspicuously fastened thereto; and every barrel, can or vessel of kerosene or coal oil that is offered or exposed for sale ebaU b in Marriage Licenses.

CaL "I came to the Coast from Germany in 1876 to manage the Oregon Steamship Company for Henry Villard," said the white-haired captain to The Oregonlan yesterday, when asked for some remlnlsi cences of early steamboatlng on the Coast. "At that time the fleet consisted of the wooden side-wheelers John L. Stev ens and Orifiammc and the propeller AJax. The company afterwards bought the lit tie steamer Gussle Telfair, which had been running to Sitka, from Ben Holla day. The steamers made weekly sailings from here every Saturday. I was the manager, with headquarters in San Fran cisco, but I made frequent visits to Port land, where George W. Weldler was agent. "On my way out here I bought the Iron steamer Geo. W. Elder in New York from the Old Dominion Steamship Company, and she was brought around the Horn by Captain Francis Connor. The propellers Oregon and Columbia were built for the company, and then the old wooden steam ers were-sold. About that time Mr. Vil lard" bought up the Oregon Steam Navlga. tlon Company and combined it with the other company in the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company. My position was then changed to manager of the ocean di vision. The steamers then landed at the wharf above the steel bridge, where the Seamen's Homo, now Is, but there were no bridges across the river then." The captain is 72 years old, but the only thing about his appearance which betrays th6 fact Is his snow-white hair, for his complexion Is clear, his eye bright and his sturdy figure erect as though, he were 20 years younger. He first went to sea In 1S4S, when he was 17 years old. When the North German Lloyd Steamship Company was established, In 1S67, he entered Its service, and in the early "60s was made commander of one of its steamers. He commanded at different times - the Schwalbe, New York, Hansa, Main and Oder, all of which were vessels o.f over SO00 t.ons plying between Bremen and New York, except the Schwalbe, which was a smaller vessel, running on the North Sea. The trip to New York was then made in 14 days. "How do the original North German Lloyd steamers compare with those of. the present day?" the captain was asked, "Just as a 3000-ton steamer compares with a 10.000-ton steamer: the new vessels arc floating palaces," he answered. Captain Van Oterendorp remained with the O. R. & N. Co. until the failure of Villard in 1SS3, and then, after lingering ashore for two more years, he again took to his old element, the sea. He has been in command of the steamers Zealandla, Alameda and Sonoma, running for the Oceanic Steamship Company from San Francisco to Honolulu, Samoa, New Zeal and and Australia, in succession, until the beginning of this year, when he gave up seafaring life. Tho Sonoma is one of three new modern steamers which were brought to the Coast In December, ISO), and he commanded her on 11 round trips to Syd ney, returning from the last in January. 1S03. "Do you recognize Portland as the- city you used to visit 20 years ago?" asked the reporter. "No; I do not. know my way here any more," he answered. "The Allen & Lewis building was the largest In the city then. I remember the breaking of ground for tho City Park, and It was considered away out In the woods. I believe about Twelth, Thirteenth or Fourteenth street was con sidered away out of town. We had to fight with Hoods every year, and I remem ber in 1S76 Front and First streets were tinder water. I never knew Portland was so beautiful; It looks so beautifully green and has such beautiful roses. We boast of our roses In California, but you have finer ones, and have fine shade trees In the streets. The city has grown beyond my knowledge." Electric Wires Cause Fire. NEW YORK, June 6.

Ivev. ex-Collector of Customs at Alaska, is liable for $350, balance due from a subscription made to the Dally Trioune several years ago, when Charles F. Lord was the financial backer ot tne political sheet. Judce Sears so decided yesterday In the suit of Henry North, to whom the claim was transferred by Lord. The full amount of the donation was J500 and not long ago Ivey paid Lord ?150; but testified at the trial that he did so wltn me understand ing that It was not a recognition of Lord's claim as to the Tribune matter. Ivey said he understood he was to be called upon for a subscription Xor campaign purposes for the Mitchell faction of the Republican party, and If such had been the case he would nave lived up to tne agreement. De cause he was always willing to contribute as much as any other man for hie party. During the trial Ivey's reputation for truth and veracity was attacked. He called numerous witnesses in his defense. and also expressed his opinion of ex-Dis trlct Attorney W. T. Hume. In rendering his decision Judge Sears did not think It necessary to refer to this part of the case, but held that the evi dence showed that Ivey promised tne $o00. and that unfortunately Ivey seemed to have a poor memory.
