Grant Con tains Trees Which Have Matured? Timber on 4000 acres of Oregon A California railroad grant land in the Soappooso basin In Columbia county was ordered sold at public sales by Judge Wolverton in his opinion handed down today in the controversy that was tried out before him last week. The Nehalem Timber & Logging company, which has. its main line and spurs in logging its privately owned timber on the sections that alternate between the publicly owned land grant sections, made an offer of 11.06 per thousand lumber feet, or $192,498.13, to the Oregon & California company. Because the land grant has been or dered forfeited to the United States and is in litigation before the supreme court, the consent of Judge Wolverton naa to do secured oerore tne saie was allowed. Congressman A. W. Lafferty appeared for settlers on the lands and protested against the price offered on the ground that it was far too low. In his opinion Judge Wolverton said the sale should be made for the rea sons assigned; that the timber was mature and ready to be cut; that its value would be greatly diminished should the railroad go on through and take up its spurs leading into the grant land, and that the fire hazard is exceedingly great because this green timber has been logged on every side. , He directed, however, that the tin ber be sold at public sale, after the sale has been advertised six weeku. He also stipulated that not less than 11.08 per thousand should be accepted, and that as much more should be se cured as it is possible to get. Terms for bids are to be set forth by an order of the court later. - The i. order stipulated that $30,000 must be paid down by the successful bidder. The price Is to be fixed for each section separately. The bidder assumes all fire risk and is to pay per cent interest on deferred payments after 1916. The money received is to be placed in a government depositary and is to draw Interest until the suit Is settled, and It is determined who la to . receive the money. Special Assist ant Attorney General C. J. Smyth, who represented the government in the action, said the Nehalem Timber and Lagging company would not be alone in the bidding on this timber, and pre dicted that a higher price than $1.06 would be paid.

Avowedly In dignant at the criticism from State Treasurer Kay and Attorney General Crawford of her visit to the Tumalo' irrigation project, being constructed ! Dy tne state in Crook county. Miss Fern.Hobbs, private secretary to Gov ernor West, returned home yesterday and expressed her opinion of those of- riciais for taking ber to task for some thing which she declares in no way concerns them. She says she is not an employe of the desert land board and her trip had nothing to do with mat ooara. This was her second visit to the project and she gives an account of the progress of the work, which she says is to be entirely finished by Oc tober 1. She walked the seven and a half miles of the main or feed canal, into which the water has been turned, and says the work Is progressing on tne aam ana tunnel. when Miss Hobbs left. State Treas urer Kay, ridiculing the idea of her trip, facetiously said that he intended to send his stenographer to make an inspection of the project, and Attornev I General rr,vfnr4 1... .. ,- would not sanction the desert land board paying the expenses of Miss Hobbs' trip. "I was very much surprised and equally amused to learn of the tempest in a teapot occasioned by my trip to the Tumalo irrigation project," she said in a statement given out today in reply to the criticism made by State Treasurer Kay and Attorney General Crawford. . Interested in Work. "I am not an employe of the desert land board nor In any way connected with that board, nor accountable to it The visit to Tumalo was prompted by my Interest in the work which is being done at that place, and in order to se cure information for use in connection with my duties In the governor's of fice. Of course, I do not know, that Mr. Kay was correctly quoted but If so, I can only say that he was hasty In passing Judgment upon matters which In no way concerned him. If he -had any reason to believe that my trip was a matter to be discussed or considered by arry member of the board, all that It would have been necessary for him Lto do in order to learn the true facts. would have been to step across the hall Into my office and ask me concerning the matter, or to. have stopped me Thursday afternoon when I went into his office to cash my personal check to obtain money which I told tho cash ier was to defray my expenses. "If Mr. Kay's stenographer attends to all the correspondence which comes into that office and answers all ques tions asked by persons who call there, she would no doubt be the proper per son to send to collect information which would enable her to intelligently explain the improvement work which Is being done at Tumalo. I open and read all communications addressed te this office and likewise ascertain from all visitors who call at the office the nature of business which brings them here. In order that I may be able to accurately answer the numerous questions which are asked, it has been the policy of the office for me to be as thoroughly acquainted as possible with all the affairs and Institutions with which this office is connected. "There has been a display of unusual Interest in the Tumalo Irrigation pro ject, and some three or four months having elapsed since tne governors last visit to the project, he thought that in order to report upon the very latest development there. It was best that some one from the office go over the ground. Because I have been very much in terested In tills work. I last fall spent. at my own expense, a week of my va cation on the project. When I was in Washington, Secretary of the Interior Lane asked me concerning the prog ress of the construction work and was much interested in the account which I was able to give him from actual knowledge obtained a few weeks earlier. The transformation In the last 10 months has been almost mi raculous. It Is true that I am not fa miliar with technical terms, and have no knowledge of engineering, but if I were able to use technical language correctly, most of those making in' quiry at this office would not under stand what I. was talking about. How ever, my two visits on the project have enabled me to become familiar with the general plan and to explain what is' being done the diversion of. Tumalo creek into tho feed canal, the location of the reservoir, and the gen eral plans for the distribution system. "Project Engineer Laurgaard and his wife are my friends, and knowing my ail tr g mw v e ivwuvu saaa lit vitatlon to visit them this summer. There never was any Intention to ask the desert land board to defray the ex penses of the trip, and it has no mors authority to control my action in visit ing the project than it has j to dictate any other thing which I may do in my capacity as private secretary to the governor.

Miss' Linderman, aged 17 years, sister of Fred Under man, the owner, who was aboard. 1 married sister of the owner and her two children and a niece. -The women and children were not frightened by their experience and did not suffer any hardships. The Cricket struck in a heavy fog on the sand about 1000 feet from shore and three miles north of the Coos Bay bar. When the distress whistle was sounded the fishing tug lolanda. Cap tain P. Stanbourg, Which recently came here from San Francisco, went out In the fog. The little boat ran out an anchor which kept the Cricket headed to sea and prevented her getting broadside and swamping. The lolanda returned for help and the gasoline schooner Rustler, the government bar dredge Colonel P. S. Mlchle. and the steam schooner Bee, owned by the same company as the' Cricket, responded. The lolanda ran a line to the Bee, and tne cncxei was puuea orr and pro ceeded south under her own steam ' She was loaded with a million feet of lumber from Puget sound. About 300.000 feet was thrown off to lighten her and this was the only loss or damage. Earlier In the night the Bee. which was entering this harbor for lumber, went a ground e inside the bay and blew a distress whistle. She was soon floated. The schooner Cricket is the steamer which was badly burned in the dock fire which destroyed two docks . and the British steamer Glenroy early In March. She is a steel steamer of 1136 tons -net tonnage. She is kept regularly on the r un out of San Fran cisco to either Portland or Grays Harbor by her owner, Fred LlnderT man. Her dimensions are: Length', 210 feet; breath, 41 feet; depth of hold, 15.6 feet. - a few chunks before a sailor pat them to merry rout, and it was evident ear ly in the game that the handling of so many boys and girls was going to be a task for a diplomat. The boat probably will get back to port about 4 o'clock this afternoon. A little surprise is to bs sprung on the children ss they troop back to the dock. Each will be given a "prise package," full of popcorn and other sweet dainties, a big orange and plenty of candy. The institutions which sent theli youthful population on the trip are: Associated Charities. Boys and Girls' Aid society.
