I t is announced that Hon. C. W.
Fulton has declined to again serve as
president of the State' Senate, owing to
his candidacy for the U. S. Senate.
Senator Brownell of Clackamas, Sena
tor A. C. Smith of Multnomah and
Senator Booth of Lane are said to be
the most prominent candidates for that
position.

W. J. B ryan , who has been making
a tour of New England, is continuing
it in other States. He has made a num
ber of speeches on national questions.
Although he does not reply to the “re
organization’’ Democrats who defeated
him when he was a candidate for pres
ident in them, yet he has made plain
that he will oppose their plans when
the proper time arrives. Mr. B. is no
doubt justified in doing this.
C ontrary to general belief the In
dian War Veterans’ bill applies only
to veterans and their widows, and not
to children. Nor can heirs of a veter
an's estate claim damages for property
lost, as the application must come
from the soldier or widow. Heretofore
Eastern pension lawyers have made
contracts by which they received a
goodly portion of the money. Such
agreements are void under the new
act.
T he year 1902 will see the last of
the government timber land that is sub
ject to entry taken up by claimants,
and it is a certainty that after this year
the person who acquires a piece of tim
ber land will have to pay a big price
for it. The bulk of the timber land of
this coast will soon be in the hands of
big companies, or wealthy individual
owners, who will not sell until a fancy
price is offered them. In fact, most of
them will not sell at all, preferring to
hold their land, considering it the safest
and the most profitable investment
they can make. Timber land in South
ern Oregon has almost doubled in price
within the last three years: and now
that the vacant land is about gone, tim
ber will take a boom that will double
its value within the year to come. In due
time Eastern prices of $100 and $200 an
acre will be prevailing, aqd then those
persons who now think timber land a
poor investment will be bewailing their
lost opportunity of becoming rich with
so little effort.
