torney Godwin to Go Af
ter Proceeds Alleged Due,
Kaker, Or., May 6. On th Instruc
tlons of the county court. District At
torney Godwin will make demand on
the secretary of state for the payment
of $15,000 to Raker county alleged to
b! balance due from the county's share
of national forest moneys since 1908,
the county having been "short
changed" to that amount, according
to the dale in the hands of the dis
trict attorney.
Under a law passed by congress In
i 1908, one fourth of the money received
, by each national forest from the sale
of timber land, grazing permits, stump
land, rentals, etc., goes back to the
forest for distribution to the counties
BOme counties received more than their
,hlr. n,i oth.r, not what riirhtrnllv
belonged totheir road and school funds.
Since 1908 Baker county has lost
$15,000. according to the data of the
Fire Protective
Association Meets
Baker. Or., May 6. Fred H. Atkln-
the fire loss last year was the lowest
in many years, being almost negligible,
actual loss less' than $100. An assess
ment of one half cent on stump land
and one cent per acre on timber land
was made to provide for fire protec
tion the coming year. W. R. Palmer
was retained as fire warden.
The association holdings embrace
about 225,000 acres of timber land and
lt was decided to install and equip two
new lookout stations, with automatic
firo finders, which have been in use
for several years with great success.

Klamath Falls, Or., May S. In com
memoration of the seventieth anniver
I sary of General Charles Fremont's
second visit to Klamath county, the
i journey f rortr which he was turned
j back by orders from Washington to
seize California for the United States,
monuments will be placed Monday at
tne head Qf Link near '
Klamath lake, where Fremont and his
party crossed the river after their
northward trip via Tule lake and the
Merrill country. A parade of civic and
i patriotic societies, school children, etc.,
j will precede the exercises.
The site of the old Indian village
at the head of the river is the place
'where the exercises will be held.
'Speeches of historical Interest, music
and talks by city and county officials
will make up the program.
While Fremont was continuing on
around Upper Klamath lake. Lieuten
ant Gillespie of the United States ma
rine corps, who had landed at Mon
terey, was' riding hard on the trail of
the party and at the present site of
Merrill he sent two of his best men
ahead to apprehend the "Pathfinder."
At Rock creek, one of the streams
emptying into Upper Klamath lake,
j the messengers overtook the party and
the following day Fremont dropped
'back with part of his men to meet
.Gillespie, receiving from him secret or-
! ders to turn back into California and
take it from Mexico.
! That night, for the first time in his
travels. Fremont left his camp un
guarded. As a result the hostile Klam
aths attacked, the Indians using bows
and arrows. Before he left the Klam

battles with the Indians and burned
one of their big tribal villages.
All of the spots in connection with
Fremont's two trips here are to be lo
cated and are to be marked with suit

THE RACE
FOR MARION SHERIFF
Portland's Former Chief of
Police Is Only Candidate
Announced at Convention.
Salem. Or.. May 6. Besides nominat
ing E. A. Slover. former chief of po
lice in Portland, for sheriff of Marion
county, the Prohibition party conven
tion, held here this afternoon, took a
strong stand against useless commis
sions and extravagance in state gov
ernment. The platform adopted asserts that
pre-election pledges of the legislature
have not availed against the ever-Increasing
tax burden and the state gov
ernment has become largely a system
of commission institutions, all calling
for salaries and appropriations.
Would Cut Budgets.
It was recommended In the platform
that county and state budgets be cut
ani unnecessary clerkships and ap
pendages be eliminated; that the state
fish and game commission be abol
ished; that the clerk hire of individual
legislators be cut and legislative
junketing at public expense be elim
inated; that the state print textbooks
and furnish them at reduced prices
to the public schools; that sectarian
encroachments, such as teachers wear
ing sectarian garb, be prohibited, and
that a graduated land tax, which by ex
emptions on small cultivated holdings
will reach the land kings, be enacted.
Opposed to Preparedness.
Opposition was voiced to the estab
lishment of military training in time
of peace, any- appropriation of public
funds for sectarian institutions, and
all efforts to weaken the state prohi
bition law.
The appointment of committees ln
the house of representatives of the
state legislature by some system which
will take the power from the speaker
was recommended, "so that Portland
domination may be ended."'
Announcement of candidates, other
than Slover, it was decided, will be
made later.
The following were nominated as
candidates for representative in the
legislature:
L. R. Ratliff and John Hunt, of
Salem; A. E. Harris, of Brooks; Enos
Presnall, of Marion; L. D. Cook of
Aumsville.
Only the names of the candidates
for sheriff and representatives were
made public.
Road Funds Wanted.
Salem, Or., May 6. A delegation
from Sheridan will probably De here
Tuesday to attend the meeting of the
state highway commission anj make
pleas for a share of the funds which,
it was believed, might be available be
cause of the failure of Wasco county
to vote bonds in order to get state aid.
Wasco county citizens recently fetated
emphatically, however, that it waa-still
proposed to vote bonds, and thjt the
idea that $45,000 apportioned by the
state would be available for other lo
calities was erroneous.
Coos Bay people have been making a
strong effort to get a share ut the
$45,000 in case i-t is re-apportioned.
It is possible that the Cantine mat
ter may come up again. At iu. last
meeting the commission was in favor
of the retention of the deputy state en
gineer, although State Engineer Lewis
favored his dismissal. Cantine if en
gaged under the direction of the com
mission in reconnoissance of highway
survey work.
Parents Receive Insurance.
Salem, Or., May 6.The mother and
father of Orval Winters, killed at Balls
ton. Or., while employed by the E. M.
Chandler Lumber company, will receive
$25 per month for two year, and one

commission set aside a reserve of
$592.50 for the purpose. The amount
is fixed on the expectancy figured from
his age at the time of death to the time
the son would have reached 21 years.

I he salary and the flues-
of minor importance. You
Congressman's services. You

Latterly ever done?" Here
Prog-ram for Future.
If renominated May 19 will leave for
Washington May 20 to urge paasage
of special act opening O. & C. rail
road lands, together with the timber
growing thereon, to actual settlers, and
unaer a arawing system giving to every
citizen who will register for the draw
lng an absolutely equal chance.
vv III work for a Genuine Rural
Credit Law. I. e.. direct Government
loans of Oold Treasury Notes to th
rarmers on first mortgage, as dl
tingulshed from the fake rural credit
bill proposed by the old-line crowd to
merely permit the farmers to "or.
ganize" for the purpose of borrowing
from the banks. A Genuine Rural
Credit Law will so increase our volume
or sound money as to bring prosper
ous conditions for all and make arti
ficial panics Impossible In the future.
It Will be panned whenever the peo
ple get a majority in Congress who
want to pass lt. Such a law would
take $480,000,000 a year In unearned
agricultural interest away from the
Rockefellers end the Morgans and
give it to the people as a reduction Jn
the cost of living. That is why they
are fighting the bill and scheming- to
have the public accept a rural credit
law that will be such In name only.
Will work for a law to convey Ore
gon's forest reserves ln trust to the'
State to be held perpetually as a
state-owned and operated forest. Such
a law would reduce Oregon's taxes
one half. Our forest reserves amount
to 16,000,000 acres. That ls over one
fourth of the state's area. T,he value
Is estimated to be $400,000,000. Any
timber man will tell you that the
cutting only of the ripe trees each yesi
would produce a net profit of at least
3 per cent, or $12,000,.H)0. Our total
taxes now being $30 per person In Ore
gon, or $24,000,000. the 3 per cent profit
from the orest reserves would reduc
the taxes juat one half. The permanent
stand of timber would not be dlmln
lshed, as the younger trees would grow
up and. take the place of the old. W
would have home rule. Oregon peoplt
would be given Jobs. I Introduced sue!
a bill at the last Congress. The tim
bermen oppose a state-owned forest
They say It would be "socialistic" ant
would "destroy private inltlatlre.'
They desire to keep the State's Um
ber locked up to rot and fall to th
ground unless they can get it fo
themselves for a song.
I appeal to those whose backs ar
breaking under corrupt politics, thos
whose stomachs are empty as th re
suit of criminal greed, to give me the!
loyal support May 19. I firmly bellev-
I am going to win, and If I do, It Wll
be our Joint triumph.
