Harrlman and tl 111 Unite In Effort to
Control World's Market.
San Francisco, July 28. The bulle
tin says that K. II. Harrlman ami
James J. Hill are uniting In a great
Umber deal, whereby they, with a num
ber of associates, will control the lum
ber market of the world. They are se
curing large tracts of forest land In
Northern California and Oregon,
through their agonta, who have boon
for some tltno quietly buying property
on the coast. Among the associates of
the two railroad magnates are Frederick
Weyerhaeuser, of Minneapolis, T. B.
Walker, cf Minneapolis; Jacob Blod
gett, of Grand Rapids, and a number of
other members of Influence in tho vari
ous timber sections of the Western
states.
E. W. Eborlln, of Now York, has
been in California for several months,
He Is llarriman's agent in this state,
and has made frequent trips to the
northern part of the state, where he
has been buying up available timber
lands. Eberlin has also been working
toward securing options on timber land
held by various Eastern people who
purchased It since the boom in Call
torn la timber began about three years
ago.
With the many minor holdings which
Harrlman and his associates may count
on, it is said that the plan is to merge
the more valuable lands controlled by
the IltU roads and the Southern Pacific
into a trust. The Southern Pacific's
principal holdings are represented in
the grant of ten miles on each side of its
road, lying between the southern boun
dary line of Oregon and a point south
of Portland, and consists o about 1,'
000,000 acres of fir and sugar pine. In
his plan to place these lands in a pool
Harrlman does so conditionally, with
provisions for the protection of the com
pany'a creditors, to whom all the lands
of the company are pltdged in security
for its indebtedness.
J' With the lands of the Hill and the
Harrlman roads and those of Walker,
Weyerbaemer and others in Washing-
ton,Oregon,5Idaho and California
under control, Harrlman and his asso
ciates would be in a position to control
the lumber market of the world.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MIW LAND LAW Dtil'UCTIVU.
State Uoard Believes Old Act Still In
Operation.
Application has been tnado to the
state land boanl for tho purchase ot
a tract ot school land located within
tho boundaries ot ouo ot the proposed
forest reserves In Kastcrn Oregon
This land has been withdrawn from
sale by the state land boanl for the
reason that It tho reserve should be
created the land would probably be
more valuable for "base" than for
salo as school land. Tho applicant In
this case contends, however, that the
board has no right to refuse to sell
any school land when the legal price
J2.50 per acre, has been tendered.
The state land board. In considering
tho question, has discovered that
there Is n defect In tin? title of the
act ot the last legislature which
makes It doubtful whether the legist
lure raised the price ot school land
to $2.60 per acre and required the
boanl to sell nt that Price. The title
of tho act refer only to Indemnity
land, while tho act Itself applies to
both, Indemnity and school land
The board Is Inclined to tho opln
Ion that so much ot the act ns
applies to school land Is Inop
erative, and that the old law Is
still In force on that subject. The old
law authorised the board to sell
school land at any price not less than
$1.25 per acre. Under that law the
board could withdraw the land from
sale, or could tlx the prlco nt $2.30,
which was Intended by tho leglsla
ture.
If the land should be placed In
forest reserve, and could be used ns a
base. It would be worth $5 an ncro
For that reason purchasers are am
Ions to get It. and the state land board
Id desirous ot holding It. The que
tlon ot law Involved .will be submit
ted to tmj attorney-general for his
opinion.
Work Deglns on Expensive Barn.
work has commenced on the new
and modern 17000 barn to be erected
on the grounds ot the Eastern Oregon
experiment Btatlon at Union. The
first story will be constructed of cut
stone, and the superstructure of wood
Twelve men are now employed laying
the foundation. The building Is lo
cated on the southern part ot the 620
acre farm owned by the state, and
not far from the main line ot the O.
R. & N. where It rounds Hutchinson
Point The building will have cement
floors and will be of a very pleasing
architectural design, and will be used
for experimenting In the development
of thoroughbred livestock.
Crops In Lane County.
while there has been much com
plaint about unfavorable weather and
many farmers have expressed the b
lief that crops of all kinds would be
light, there Is now a change to the 31
trulstlc view of the situation In Lone
county. Conditions are turning out
much better than anybody believed n
tew weeks ago. Probably the most
elated ot all the producers are those
who have orchards. Conditions for
yenrs past have been more or less
discouraging to the horticulturist and
only the strong hearted have been
able to bear up against the repeated
failures of prune crops especially.
Oat Harvest Commences.
Binding began In many of the cat
fields of Benton county this week. In
some fields there hati been a day or
two of preliminary cutting during the
past week. In the county there
Is an unusually large acreage of oats,
and the crop Is apparently the best lu
many years. A prolific growth is also
apparent In the wheat and vetch
fields, and If the yield turns out to he
ad good as present conditions prom.
Ise, the crop of the county will be
tbe best In many years.
Smoky Pall Reappears.
The pall ot smoke which annually
visits the Southern Oregon moun
tains, screening the pine-covered
range from view and shadowing the
"entire Southern Oregon country, Is
making its appearance, A few minor
fires have already been observed In
tbe surrounding mountains, though
none of them have occurred In the
heavily timbered districts. A strict
er vigilance will be Kept this year
than usual, and It Is not likely that
the dreadful fires of last summer will
be repeated.
Clatskamlc-Mlst Road Surveyed.
The survey has been completed for
a new location of the wagon, road be
tween ClatBkanle and Mist. The new
road will be built on a 6 per cent
grade, making an easy ascent up this
side of the mountain. Money Is being
subscribed to make the Improvement,
and the work will be finished at an
early date. The Improvement will be
an Important one, as this road Is the
only outlet by which a number of
sawmills In the Lower Nehalem get
their products to the railroad.

utation of being a great watermelon
section. The melon season will be

will be as much In evidence this sum
mer as ever before. Melons are grown

Eugenn Basse, proprietor of the Salem
flm nlant. has been compelled to

APPROPRIATION SHOUT.
Money to Pay Indian War Veterans Has
llecn exhausted.
Tho appropriation ot $100,000 uiado
by. tho Inst legislature for thn payment
ot the Indian War veterans will all be
exhausted by the payment of claims
already filed, and over 300 claimants
must wall until tho next legislature
appropriates money bctoro they can
get their pay. The unpaid claims will
aggregate some $50,000, so that the
total amount paid out on thin account
will bo $150,000. As It had become
apparent In the last few dnys that the
appropriation would soon ho exhaust
ed. Secretary ef State Dunbar naked
tho attorney-general for advlco na to
tho course ho should pursue with re
gard to tho claims that come In after
tno 1U0.000 has been expended.
Attorncy-aenernl Crawford has ro-i
tiered nn opinion In which ho held
mat tno secretary of stnto has no nil.
thorlty to audit tho claims or Isruo
wnrrnnts after tho appropriation Is
exhausted. This means that until the
legislature makes nnother appropria
tion, those whoso claims nro not al
ready on file In the ortlco of the sec
retary of state will have no legnl
cinim against tno state.
Section 239S of the codo provides
that tho secretary of state shall not
issue a warrant except when an ap
propriation Is avnllablo for the pay
ment of the same. It also provides
that where a claim has been Incurrel
In pursuance of authority of law, but
no appropriation has been made, or,
Is made, has been exhausted, the sec
retary shall audit tho claim and Issuo
a ccmncate ns evidence that the
claim hns been allowed. Tho nttor
ney.general holds that tho Indian war
claims do not com under nny of
mese Classes and that, therefore, the
secretary has no power to Issuo war
rants or even certificates. He can do
noming out recelvo tho claims nnd
keep them on fllo until the neit legis
lature meets, when he will report
them to that bodv
atlon.
Tho Indian War -veterans' claims
wero not Incurred In pursuance of
any law of tho stnto of Oregon, hut
were incurred under the territorial
government. Tho United States sror-
eminent assumed all the lalbllltlea of
me territory wnen tho stnto vm ad
mitted, and for that reason the vet
erans had no legal claim against the
state. The appropriation Is held,
therefore, to be the measure of the
amount for which the secretary may
audit claims.
