Salem— “ Give the state the first tip ”
wrAa one request the state land board
made of the department of the interior
through Gifford Pinchot and F. H.
New ell, when they consulted at Port*
land a few days ago.
Aa representatives of the president
Messrs. Pinchot and Newell asked the
members of the state land board to
meet them and express their opinion
regarding local land matters in Oregon.
Among other things the members of
the board explained the manner in
which speculators have gobbled up
state lands in Oregon in advance of the
creation of reserves. The state wants
a chance to keep these lands.
In almost every instance in which
the department of the interior has
withdrawn land from entry for the pur*
pose of making a forest reserve, it has
been found that Some private capital­
ists had in some way secured informa­
tion as to what would be done, and then
bought up the state land at $1.2$ per
«e re . A s soon as a reserve had been
created the land became worth M to
#5 an acre aa base for the selection of
lieu land.
The members of the board explained
to the representatives of the Federal
government that if <a forest reserve is
to be created, the state would like to
be informed as soon as any one else, so
that the state land could also be with*
d rayn , and the state profit by whatever
rise there might be In The value of the
land. The state does not ask to be in-
formed in advance of every one else as
to what the department intends to do,
hut the board wants to receive the first
information that is given out, at the
name time that others receive it.
The conference between the state land
board and Messrs. Pinchot and Newell
was a very pleasant one and resulted in
« better understanding between the rep*
resentativee of the state land and fed­
eral land departments. The men from
Washington learned more regarding
the needs and wishes of the state, and
the Oregon authorities gained informa­
tion concerning the plans and purposes
o f the government. . . .
There were mutual assurances of co­
operation in land matters with a view
to the accomplishment of the best re­
sults.
John Day Property Clahaed Beth as
Mineral and Timber Land.
John Day— F. C. Knapp, a wealthy
lumberman of the firm of Knapp &
Brewer, is in town making an attempt
to settle the question of ownership of
several claims in the Black Butte group
of mines. He has held a conference
with the manager o t the mine, Ed C.
A llen, of Portland, but no settlement
has so far been reached.
The land in question is just outside
of the forest reserve lines, 15 miles
north of John Day, and has been held
partly as quartz and partly as plader
mining ground, for a nuniber of years.
The upper workings of the main lead
were worked out a few years ago, but
the ground was patented. The outside
claims were represented in yearly as­
sessment work by the group system of
development, and as some of them
were heavily • timbered,, they were
scripped by the Knapp A Brewer com­
pany under the diiection of Cruiser
Johnson.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
thousands of quartz and placer gold
have been taken from these claims, Mr.
Allen spys that an affidavit of their
nonmineral character was made when
scrip was placed on the land.
A number of wealthy Pendleton cap­
italists are stockholders in the mining
company, and it Is understood that
United States District Attorney H all is
investigating the matter.
Work on
the property w ill be actively resumed
should the company’s title be confirmed..

Oregon City— The quarterly meeting

Ohres Names of State Officers.
Salem— Secretary of State Dunbar
has recently compiled and had pub­
lished a small pamphlet entitled:
“ Official Directory, 8tate of Oregon.”
I t contains the names of all state
officers, members of state boards, com?
missioners, officers of state institutions,
and schools, and also a list of all
county officers. Many requests are re­
ceived for information such aa is given
in this pamphlet and by means of it
the secretary of state can promptly
answer all such requests.
Congers Killing Cattle.
Eugene— Farmers in the vicinity of
Lorane are annoyed more than usual
this winter by cougars, and a number
, o f instances have been • reported where
stock has been killed by them.
The
animals are very sly and can rarely be
seen, but frequently they are heaid in
the evening very near the settlements.
Last week Dr. Petrie went out from
Cottage Grove with his hounds and
succeeded in killing one very fine
specimen,
There have been several
chases without results.

Noticeable Increase In Fees.
Corvallis:— A considerable increase in
revenue w ill result from the new law
affecting the fees in the county re­
corder’s office. The office in Benton
carries a salary of $ 1,000, and last
year the fees aggregated $1,014.
A
mortgage filed the other day cost $3.50
that under the old law would have cost
but $1 .70, For another the fee was
$3.25, instead of $1.60. I t is esti­
mated that the increase of fees w ill
make the office pay a net profit of $500
to $1,000 per year.
Work *n State Printer's Office.
Salem— State Printer W hitney has
just completed the task of setting up
and running off 1,500 copies of the gen­

now ready to go to work on the special

correspondent of the D aily Mail cables
that he has had an interview with Ad­
miral Alexieff, the Russian viceroy in
the Far East, who spoke hopefully of
arranging a modus vivendi with Japan.
The vioeroy then referred the corre­
spondent to his diplomatic agent, M.
FI an con, who emphasised the impossi­
b ility of Russia’s evacuation of Man­
churia, and said:
“ Orders were given six months ago
to evacuate Niu Chwang and Man­
churia, provided the; /Chinese would
agree to simple terms, bat owing to
the intrigues ef the Japanese minister
with the W al Wu Pu (Chinese foreign
board) theee orders were counter­
manded.**
M. Plancon declared that the action
of the United States, in making a com­
mercial ^treaty with China, without
Russia’ s consent, under existing cir­
cumstances, was unfriendly and undip­
lomatic. Russia, he said, would not
open or allow consuls at Mukden and
An Tnng under the present regime.
I f J^pan wanted Corea, Russia, M.
Plancon said, would not interfere, pro­
vided other powers allowed it, and he
added: “ Russia did not ask Japan’s
consent to occupy Manchuria; neither
was it necessary for Japan to seek Rus­
sia’ s permission to establish a protec­
torate in Corea.”
M. Plancon concluded by saying that
the United States and other nations
were more interested in the situation
than was Rossia.

Washington, Jan. 20. — President
Roosevelt has transmitted to the*een&te
additional correspondence touching the
relations of the United States with Co­
lombia and Panama, covering the peri­
od from December 23, 1903, to January
$ last. A statement of grievances on
the part of Colombia was presented to
the state department by General Reyes
on December 23. General Reyes says
the course of the United States had
worked deep injury to Colombia, and
he cited the treaty of 1846 as showing
that the independence and sovereignty
of Colombia was to be maintained in­
tact by the two governments.
Secretary Hay answered this note
under date of January 5. H e says the
government has carefully considered the
grave complaints made and assures
General Reyes of our most friendly
sentiments for the government and peo­
ple of Colombia.
The question sub­
mitted, he says, can be considered only
in the light of accomplished facts, of.
which one is that the republic of Pana­
ma has become a member of the family
of nations.
Under date of Janaary 6, General
Reyes submits another note to Secre­
tary Hay, in which he says he has
transmitted Secretary H ay’s answer to
his government by cable.
The secre­
tary’ s note is construed, he says, as an
intimation that the Colombian forces
w ill be attacked by the United States
on entering the territory of Panama to
subdue the rebellion, and for that reas­
on it would hold the government of the
United 8tates for all damages to it -by
the loss of that national territory. A
repitition is made of the position of
the Colombian government under the
treaty of 1846, and it is requested that
the first note of General Reyes be made
public.
Replying to this on January 9, Sec­
retary Hay says that he finds almost
a ll the propositions brought forward
in the second note have been considered
and fully answered in his note of the
6th of January.
Under date of January 11, General
Reyes addressed Secretary H ay, stat­
ing that l p finds his arguments had not
been refuted by the otherwise forceful
papers which he had received. He
then discusses at some length his prop­
osition to refer the matter to The
Hague and concludes w ith a regret on
the failure of his mission to the United
States.
Secretary Hay answers this not4 un­
der date of January 13 with the state­
ment that there is no reason to recon­
sider the attitude of the United States
heretofore set forth *
