THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 11, 1906. INT LAND Fulton -WilhF-ighbNew Timber Land Bill. GIVE COUNTIES A SHARE l Government Sells Timber Without Land, He Claims One-Fourth for County Some Elo quent Figures. . OREGONIAN NE7TS BUREAU.fWash lngton, Feb. 10. Senator Fulton is pre paring to vigorously oppose the -bill soon to fee reported by the public lands com mittee providing for the Tepeal of the timber and stone act, unless he can se cure an amendment stipulating that 25 per cent of the money derived from the sale of public timber shall he turned over to the county In which the timber is slt 'uated. The bill in contemplation abso lutely repeals the present law and pro poses that the Government shall retain title to all timber land, selling only ma ture timber at public auction or other wise at not less than the appraised value. This In effect places "all public timber land In permanent reservations. Under this proposed law, public timber land will never become subject to taxation, and in consequence the counties in which this land is located will be forever deprived of the benefit of the taxes which would eventually accrue, were this land taken up under the timber and stone act. Wants Share for Counties. Mr. Fulton, after research In the depart ments, shows that. If the pending bill becomes law, practically all of Oregon's 19,000.000 acres of timber land will be per manently reserved. About 6,000,000 acres are already In forest reserves and nearly 7,000,000 more have been withdrawn from entry with a view to permanent reserva tion, leaving 5,000.000 acres still subject to entry, but which would be withheld from entry if the pending hill were enacted. Mr." Fulton lias an assurance from the committee that the bill will be amended to give the counties 10 per cent of the receipts from timber sales, but he is in sisting upon 25 per cent and hopes to secure this concession, though no assur ances have yet been given him. Immense Wealth In Timber. He has quoted official figures to show that the average stand of timber In Ore gon is 12,700 feet board measure per acre, ranging from 4700 feet cast of the Cas cades, to an average of 17,700 feet on the west slope, in some instances reaching 40,000 feet to the acre. The Government, on the basis of a valuation of W a thou sand feet, estimates Oregon's timber wealth to be $213,000,000, but Mr. Fulton declares this estimate can be safely doubled. Better Return From Farminp. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that forests renew themselves once In 60 years, in other words, conceding that timber is cut only when it reaches 50 years of age. Mr. Fulton shows by the Government figures that the timber land in Eastern Oregon under the proposed law would return only 10 to 15 cents a year in revenue, while better timber: 3and In Western Oregon would yield' 70 cents to $1.60 annually Ter acre. This, he points out, is a small return as com pared with the return on agricultural and grazing land, and he argues from this that it woudl be beneficial to have this timber land, particularly that of Western Oregon, devoted to some more profitable use, It being climatically and naturally adapted to agriculture and dairying. He argues that this land. If permitted to pass Into prli'ate ownership, would, when the timber is removed, be widely developed and sustain immense wealth. This is his prime, reason for demanding 25 per cent of the revenues from timber sales for the benfit of the timber counties. In case the committee does not adopt his 25 per cent amendment, Mr. Fulton will make a fight on the floor of the Senate. STILL WORKING FOR JETTY Fulton and Gearln Discuss Plan of Action With Burton. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 10.

GREAT TURF CONSPIRACY Millionaire Horseman Charged With Winning Memphis Gold Cap by Praad and Ruining Great Trotter for Iife. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The American today says: The most sensational turf scandal of re cent years was revealed last night whea it becarrie known that E. E. Smathers, the millionaire horseman, had been ac cused of knowing that drugs had been administered to Lou Dillon, C X. G. Billings' famous trotter, whea, at Mem phis, In October, ISOt. Smathers. driving his own horse. Major Del mar, beat Lou Dillon. The gold cup, worth J6000. which Smath ers won at that time, has been taken by a Deputy Sheriff out of his suite in the Plerpont and is now in the Sheriffs of fice. Mr. Smathers last night said the cup had been seized before he learned of the startling accusations. Makes Smathers Furious. On Wednesday, while Mr. Smathers was out of town. Deputy Sheriff John Murray went to the Plerpont and, after demand ing admittance, showed the clerk a writ of replevin Xor the cup, which was sur rendered. Mr. Smathers returned to his apartments yesterday and, on learning of the seizure of the cup, was furious. An attorney was at once retained, and It was found that only a few hours of the three days allowed by law remained in which he might deposit a bond for the cup, indi cating that he would fight the writ. He hurried to the Sheriff's office and depos ited a bond for $7000. Jrn the Memphis race a man named Saun ders drove the Billings horse, which had Just previously added to the laurels of the Billings stable by defeating Major Del mar. At that time a man named George W. Spccr was Smathers trainer. Smathers Side of Case. Mr. Smathers sent his lawyer down to the office of Parker, Harris & Shechan, the attorneys who procured the writ. There he learned that the proceedings nad been begun by Murray Howe, the secre tary of the Memphis Racing Association, who had supervision over the meeting at which Major Delmar beat Lou Dillon in two straight heats. Attached to the com plaint were affidavits made by two men named Spccr and Saunders, their first names not being given. Mr. Smathers said last night. I have learned that the accusation on which Howe seeks to get the cup away from me is that I knew Lou Dillon had been drugged when 1 drove Major Del- mar past him In that race. They allege that I am familiar with what took place prior to the race. If dope was used on Lou Dillon. I had no hand in It and know nothing about it. Lou Dillon was a fa vorlto in the race, and she should not have been, if any one knew she had been doped. These men are Incriminating them slvcs and practically arc ruling them selves off the turf, for they never will be tolerated again." RACE WAS MOST SENSATIONAIi Lou Dillon Suddenly Developed Thumps In First Heat. MEMPHIS. Feb. 10. Murray Howe, sec retary of the Memphis Trotting Associa tion at the time of the race for the Mem phis gold cup in 1904. end Frank G. Jones. president of the club, arc out of the city and no one In authority here is compe tent to speak upon the question of the possibility that Lou Dillon had been given drugs before her race with j&ajor Del- mar. The race was one of the most sensational In the history of the local trotting turf. The $50CO gold cup was offered by the Memphis Association and was to belong to the driving club whose member won it twice. E. E. Smathers took the first race in 1902 with Lord Derby. C. K. G. Bil lings won the next one in 1303 with Lou Dillon and the final race the year follow Ing was won by Mr. Smathers. who drove Major Delmar. Before the race Lou Dillon had worked close to the record and she was the favor ite In the betting, although Major Del mar was at the top of his form. In the first heat Lou Dillon, driven by Mr. Bil lings, went well to the half-mile post, and then dropped back, hopelessly beaten When the horses were brought for the second heat. It was decided by Millard Saunders, of the Billings stable, and veterinary that the mare had "thumps," and Mr. Billings drove the second heat merely to give the event the appearance of a contest, and made no attempt to win.

"All the world knows that Lou Dil lon was sick when that first heat was trotted," said Dr. Tanner, who had charge of the nsare for a time, "but regarding that part Involving Mr. Smathers I know nothing. I know, however, that Mr. Billings' great mare was her old self while warming up, but she was taken suddenly sick Just before the first heat was run and was unable to do herself Justice.' SAYS DILLON SIMPLY QUIT Smathers Will Fight In Court to Hold Gold Cup. NBW YORK. Feb. 10. (Special.) Th charges made by Murray Howe that C. Jv. U. Billing mare J-ou union was doped when she was defeated by E. E. Smathers gelding. Major Delmar, have convulsed the turf world, and It Is now certain that the long dominant hatred be tween Billings and Scaather will come to a climax in the courts of New York State, inasmuch as Smathers intends to combat to the last tho attempt of the Memphis Trotting Association, through its secretary, Howe, to recover posses sion of the gold cup. Mr. Smathers is extremely angry at the charge that he countenanced the doping of Lou Dillon and freely dlscused, the matter. He called attention to the fact that the gameneas of the Billings mare had always been under suspicion, and declares that in the race In -question she , ilspl: "quit" wka tht hltt tb&t afct could not shake off Dtltaar. who at that tins was la the beat shape of Ms Mfe.

CAREFUL SEARCH FOR GUILTY Racing Association Has Long Be'cn Collecting Evidence. CHICAGO Feb. IS. C K. G. Billings. owner of Lou Dillon, Is now on his way to New York, and It is understood that he is decidedly averse to any particlpa- tioa la the controversy regarding the cup. There are. however, several gentlemen in this city who witnessed the race Between Lou Dillon and Major Delmar and have been familiar with the progress or tho Investigation of the race Inaugurated by the Memphis Driving Association shortly after Its conclusion. One of these men said today: It Is Incredible tht the Memphis DriYlnj? Association -would tmJce step of ao radical a ailure without presetting evidence which It regards as conclusive that the mare Lou Dil lon was tampered, with. The matter was of such tmsortasc that the action which has been taken could but have been the result of lonr-premedltated and carefully conceived and executed plans. In view of this fact, the Drlvlnr Association, while bellrrrar that a zrou wrong has been perpetrated, had to be carefully persistent and unnasrinr In runnlnr down all of the clews which were developed. The assodaUoa met with the craat difficulties attendant upon un earthlnr a premeditated conspiracy, and It was only after the conspiracy waa developed, attending circumstances pointing unerrtnaty to the inspiration of the scheme had been disclosed, that all the evidence secured was laid before eminent counsel, who, it appears, have taken some action In the courts. The beat vcterlnaries in this country have. In turn, had Lou Dillon under their care and MTuUny, and to this day none of them 1 able to jy she will ever recover hr former greatness Aumlnr that the leral action for the recovery of the cup is brourht to a suocesrful IWf. it la manifest, of course, that probably the least Important feature of the matter has been settled, and there still re main the graver Questions of rexponsiblllty for tne aamare done to the mare, as well aa the perrons responsibility Involved. If the as sociation succeeds In the action for the recov ery of the cup, the atrocious character of the wrong done would necejoarlty Indicate to the public officials the next Kep to be taken.

I am solnr to New York," said Mr. Billings, as ho boarded a train for the East this evening. x expect a lot of trouble to grow out of this Smathers imbroglio, and I want to be on the ground when the fight starts.
