Thinks Oregon Owes the Secretary of the Interior Much Gratitude for Timber Land Investigations Out lines a Policy. Salem, Oregon, January 1. Allow we people or Oregon to cx press sentiment's of admiration and of gratitude for the onertretic attitude Secretary Hltchcocft towards the sup pression of the numerous and scan dalous timber frauds. The public men or Oregon, with the Bole exception of a band of so-called legal and standard highway robbers are sharing thesc sentiments totvnrds you. .Many smootn-sbod politicians, on account of your official firmness wanted and worked for your resigna tion, hut it is generally hoped that President Roosevelt will always be himself during such political whirl winds. The public of Oregon owes much to you, and should any of our Oregon men be found In your way as against the welfare of the public and the du ties of your office, we would expect to give them our attention in Oregon. The Blue mountain forest reserve in Oregon, in Its present plan and pur pose. Is the latest and greatest local scheme to hurt the country. A great railroad combination Is fa Yorlng, promoting and engineering it, to keep out of its territory competit ors, who also fraudulently -wish to se cure the timber lands therein. The reserve can be reopened at any time when the syndicate Is ready to get "the whole thing," by the way of lieu lands, or by any other way, The present conditions are bad enough, but the intended reserve is more hurtful. The cry for water and all other flimsy reasons are but far cJ&l. The people there cannot and do not want, and cannot get or save their water supply through a reserve, and they never asked for it. and never will. Did you ever hear of a trust ap parently sitting still and allowing any outsider to tie up the best re sources in their territory? Uid you ever hear of such a trust willing to reserve millions of dollars' worth of timber for the next genera' tion, or willing to give something to the farmers who did not ask for if Yet such are the claims. Are you willing to assist them In their endeavor to steal at some future date. In another and more effective form than they can now. and to heln them keep Eastern Oregon at their mercy for all time to come? If it seems desirable to have a Blue mountain forest reserve, let It be use ful to and helping the people and the country nt large, in reality, and not In imagination, and, what is worse, to hurt the country. ilf the following suggestions were tallowed, the result would be benefi cial: 1 1. Let the lines be drawn of the proposed Blue mourta'n forest re serve. 2. Let all the lands within the re serve be .open for actual settlers. 3. Reserve that no timber, lumber, .wood la any kind or form shall go out aide the lines of the reserved terri tory. 4. That no sheep or cattle in herds of more thaft 10 head be allowed to graze on land not embraced and taken up within the reserve. 6. That no land within be sold, but what can be taken up by actual set tlers. 6. That any company, firm or Indl- Tiauai Jiving or doing business within the reserve can buy timber at $1 per 1000 feet, and cord wood at $1 per cord, to be used within the reserve. 7. The same applies to companies who open up within the reserve such parts capable of supporting settle ments, or who wish to run through the reserve railroad lines, to reach other points in Oregon, You might send 8pecial Inspector Oreene. or some one else, and ho could see for himself what Is going on here. What is stated above is true concerning the Blue mountain forest reserve and the mining district .A reserve with such or similar con ditions would preserve the timber. and even the water sunnlr. It would forever keep out specula tors, large and small, and allow hon est settlers to take up homes where erer possible. It would not give a syndicate exclusive rights, as at the present time, or In the future. "With such or similar conditions many places now averse to the re ervo will ask to be Included within the reserve, with tho exception of the syndicate that Is now engineering the ture, .gave jcut a statement today In which he says: "I do not propose any radical .eaasscs from the . general scheme devised hy ray predecessor In office. On the contrary; I folly con car 'with the advisory committee's opinion that said scheme Is admirable- But in regard to the principal feature of the exposition, the Cas cades, I differ with my predecessor. My Intention Is to give this feature a great deal more value and weight In subject and therefore give by means of allegorical figures expres sion to the result of this purchase." of these two classes of tho road's cm ployes.
