WILL AMEND
TIMBER LAW
CONGRESS LIKELY TO ADOPT A
NEW PLAN.
Land Will be Sol In Such a Man
nerai to Bring; Something"
Near Beal Value.
Washington, Jan. 26 Some time
during the present session of Congress
tbe timber and stone act is likely to be
repealed, and in its place a law will be
written on the statute books which au
thorizes the sale of pub'ic timber at
something like its real value. But be
fore any legislation of this character iH
enacted the public land committee of
the Senate and the House will five very
thorough consideration to the various
pending bills, and some ptacticat, ef
fective solution of the timber land evil
is likely to result.
That the timber and stone act in its
preent form is vicious is generally ad
rait'ed. It is generally acknowledged
that no just law can be enforced which
requires the same price for the valuable
timber land of Oregon as for the very
cheap timber land of the Rocky moun
tain states. That is what tbe timber
and stone act does.
While there is a very general senti
ment in favor of tbe repeal of this law,
Western men are not willing merely to
wipe it off tbe statute books; they in
sist npon some substitute which will
not only permit the use of mature timb
er but will also provide a meterial re
venue to compensate for the loss of re
ceipts due to the repeal. This law is
the principal source of revenue with
which to build the government irriga
tion works, and to repeal it without
ubstituting some other means of get-
mg revenue Irorn toe public timber
would be to hamper materially tbe con
struction of such projects.
The discussion of this problem has
not gone far enough to justify a predic
tion as to the form of bill that a ill be
reported, but it seems probable that
Congress, after repealing the timber
and stone aot, will authorize tbe sale
of publio timber at something like it
real value; that is to say that some
scheme will be deviseu for appraising
the public timber, and permitting its
sale at not less than its appraised value
Even ia those states where the timber i
of poor quality the government will de
rive as much revenue from its timber
land as it doea under the present law,
while in Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and California the prices will range
away above tbe price required under
tbe existing law.
There is a demand from some quarters
for a law which will authorize merely
the sale of the timer, the title to tbe
land to remain with the government.
The advocates of this plan point ont
that by holding the title to tbe land in
Governmeut it will be comparatively
easy to perpetuate tbe forests, and to
regulate the cutting so that Done but
mature timber will be removed. By
perpetuating the forests the Govern
ment will have a continual source of
revenue, whereas, if the title to the
timber land passes to the lumberman,
there is little chance of reforestation
and no hope whatever of deriving rev
euue for the government, once the land
is sold.
Under existing laws the Government
is telling mature timber from its fureol
reserves, but the money derived does
not find its way into the reclamation
fuud. Attention of Western Senators
aud Representatives has been called to
this fact, and it is not unlikely that a
bill will he pressed this session requir
ing that such revenues, from the sale of
public land, shall be turned into the re
ctamation fund and not into tiie Federal
treasury. Strictly speaking, thi
money ought to go to the reclamation
fund, since it is reallv a part of the
public land receipts, and those Senator.
and Congressmen who have been handi
capped because of a shortage of money
for irritation wotk will probab'y favor
the bill outlined.

Seek Nomination.
John H. Aitken, of Huntington, who
is a candidate for the Republican nom
ination as state tnasurer has issued the
following platform:
"I will give a straightforward, eco
nomical, business administration of the

persons will be given a "square deal"
and the office will be conducted in the
interest of the whole people of our
State.
I am in favor of a law creating a
board, consisting of tbe Governor, Sec
retary of State and Treasurer; snid
board to name and select depositories
for the state funds, the interest on said
funds to become the property of the
state, and be accounted for by the state
treasurer,
I am in favor of a lw regulating s'atu
and private banks, and the creation of a
state bank examiner. I
I am in favor of the dirpct primary
law and a strict compliance with it."
John H. Aitkin has been a resident
of Huntington for the past 'seventeen
years. He is president and manager of
the Oregon Commercial company, one
of the largest mercantile corcerns in
this section of tbe state, is president of
the Bank of Huntington, and of the

Contract for Klamath.
Washington, Jan. 25 The Secretary
of the Interior today awarded contracts
for the construction and completion of
tbe first unit of tbe Klamath irrigation
project in Southern Oregon. This is the
beginning of the big J4.000.000 project
recently approved. Oiher contracts
will follow, as plans are completed and
the demand for land increases.
The larjzer part of the contract award
ed today goes to Mason, Pavis & Co., of
Portland, who underbid 13 competitors
from Oregon as well as other states.
Their aggregate contract amounts to
$377,o30. The rest of the contract,
mounting to only $i!S2S, was awarded
to the International Contrsct Companv
ot Seattle.
1'rolialily before the first canal is com
pleted, contracts will be let for another
unit of the Ka'amatli project as there
! is ample inonev at tian 1, live tunes s
much, in fact, a called for by the first

NOW RESIDES

BOWIE'S HEAD n AN HAS Ql'IT
FOB GOOD.
Trained Banker and Beat Bncln
91an Ever Connected
With Dowle.
The beet business man John Alex
ander Dawie is said ever to have had
nZionisnow a resident of Portland,
as a result of radical differences of op
inion regtrding business methods and
po'icies, and to the same cause may be
attributed recent differences between
the heads of the church thU have
bronght Zion face to face with roin. It
has been predicted by those said to be
informed that Dowie's managers in Zion
are said to be making their lact stands
and that the famous city's present or
ganization willcoae to an end within
six months.
Charles J. Barnard, who for six
months has ben living quietly at Fir
land. ws the first general financial
manager of Zion, and organized its in"
dustries, mapped out its fin uncial poli
cies and established its system of ac
counts. He remained six vears at the
head of Dowie's financial organization.
It is said that dnring his administration
more than $10,000,000 belonging to
tbe church, its members and their insti
tutions passed through his hands, and
after it all when Barnard withdrew in
disgust from Zion and shook the dust
ot the city from bis feet the worst
charge Dowie could bring against him
was that he was a backslider; be re
nounced the faith.
To this day Mr. Barnard has never
replied. No statement of any nature
regarding his experiences in Zion has
ever been given or authorized bv him
for publication, although it is said he
could, if he would speak, tell more than
any living man of the secrets and inner
life of Zion and tbe upbuilding of its in
stitutions. Today the splendid factories
he financed are silent, their doors ar
locked, and hundreds of working people
are idling their days away or leaving the
city, forsaking their homes and interests
there and seeking means of earning
livelihoods elsewhere.
Mr. Barnard is a trained banker. For
33 vears he was in the Commercial
National bank, of Chicago, of which
James H, Eckels, ex-conToller ofcur-
rencv, is now the head. He had risen
to the posi'ion of first asi-taut chastiier
