ry Bureau Confident,
(United Press leased Win.)
Washington. Aug. 17, The acuteness
manifested itself here today more strik
ingly by the dead silence at the In
terior department and the suppressed
but all pervading atmosphere of en
thustasm at the forestry bureau. As
sistant Secretary Pierce, who is back
again and is acting secretary of' the
interior department, does not care to
discuss the charges of maladministra
tion made against Secretary Balllnger
by Chief Forester Pinchot Acting
Commissioner : S warts of the general
land office has the same aversion. t
- An effort was made today by a rep.
resentative of the United Press to re
view the entire record at the land of
fice in connection with the mooted fil
ing on 158.68 acres of land at Bose
man, Mont, by President Ramsey of
the Riverside Land and Livestock com
pany. - - -
It was this filing that Pinchot de
clared ws in the Interest of the power
trust. This statement was specifically
denied by Acting Commissioner Swarts
several days ago. -
At attempt to have' this : record ex
amined by a land lawyer was dtaap
proved by the officials of the depart
ment Of the interior. . . . .. . , . - ,
"The whole subject," said an official,
"Is threadbare. It is our policy to let
the matter drop, - notwithstanding the
counter charges which have emanatnd
from the west that this filing was In
the interest of the so-called water pow
er trust. The public has all the Infor
mation we care to give at present."

Charles E. McDonell,, colonel of tha
third regiment Oregon National Guard,
will not resign but will -continue in ls
position at the head of the state's
troops.',!'.''' -,:''-!'--', '?' 'i:;''. " '-. t
This morning-the colonel completed
his report coverelng his custody of the
regimental funds for a period of a lit
tle more than a yean, This report
shows that there is new a balance on
hand of 1259.15. During this period of
time the total receipts have amounted
to. 16864.14. The disbursements have
been $704.9. - ... . .
The report will be submitted to ths
regimental board of officers at its meet
ing tonight when the regular headquar
ters meeting of the board of officers
will be held at the armorv. Thin hoard
Vlll check up the report - and if it Is
xuuoa 9 oe correct wiu accept It, It
there are any mistakes or misstate
ments it will be referred to Colonel
McDonell. The coloneL however, la con
fident that there will be no errors dis
covered that would not arise from some
slight mistake In the matter of enum
eration. , .
"There has been so much hullabaloo
made over the matter'that I do not in
tend to resign at this time," said Colo
nel McDonell this morning. "I have
never formally tendered my resigna
tion, but stated unofficially that fin
tended to resign out of Justice to my
own private business affairs. I have
been connected with the National
Guard for the past 21 years, and during
that time have- been compelled to
neglect my own private business in the
Interest of my work with the organi
sation.. ' '" i v. i,, -
"I had concluded that out of Justice
to myself the time had come when I
should step down and out. I do not
intend to do this, however, in the face
of the hue and cry which has been
aroused, but will continue my . duties
as colonel of the regiment -
The filing of these two reporta; ths
one with Colonel James Jackson cover
ing the account current, or the state
funds, and the other wltb the officers'
board, covering the regimental funds in
the custody of Colonel McDonell, puts
an end to the controversy, unless some
fault should - be discovered with the
reports.. .. ..-.,j :. ' , -
Colonel Jackson has stated that he
expected that the report handed him
would be found to be correct. Members
of the board of officers have stated
that the partial examination of the re
port due them has disclosed no irregu
lar in the -handling of the regimental
funds. . - --
It is believed, therefore, that the re
ports will be. accepted after being
checked up, and that the sensation
aroused over the contemplated resigna
tion of Colonel McDonell will come to
aa abrupt close. i
