Newspaper Page Text1 j OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST ADD TO RESERVES, Government Will Soon to Taks Action on Oregon Forests. WashingtonThe preeeut jer is likely to ae svral million acre added to the format reserre of Oregon. U to this time 6,073,550 acrw bare been brought within permanent toreet re serve, aid 6,908, Sod acres additional bavs been temporarily withdrawn. Jost what part of this latter brea ia to become permanent forest reeerve and what part ia to be turned back to the public domain baa not been determined. Out of the withdrawals, however, 2,130,400 acre set appart for the Blue mountain reeerve will be placed under the foreet adminiatratoin. There baa been an intimation that a proclamation will soon iaeue creating a Rogue river foreet reeerve in South western Oregon, for which 1,192,320 acres have been withdrawn. Thia pro posed reeerve takea in fully half of Curry and Josephine counties and small portions of Coos and Douglas. When originally mapped out, the Rogue river reserve was deemed impracticable, be cause the railroad land grant traverses the area. Now that the lieu land law is repealed and there is no danger of lieu land frauds, this objection from the government standpoint seems to have been removed. Various withdrawals of small areas in Marion, Linn, Lane and Donglaa counties, aggregating 250,040 acres, have been made with a view to enlarg ing the Cascade reserve along its west boundary. It ia quite probable that these tracts will be permanent reserves. The name ia true of the withdrawal of 12.000 acres in Clackamas county ad joining the Cascade reeerve. In Morrow and Grant counties a withdrawal has been made embracing 417,000 acres, which will eventually be made into the Heppner foreet reserve unless present plans are abandoned. It has not yet been determined what disposition shall be made of the Warner mountain withdrawal, which embraces 2,839,816 acres in Klamath, Lake and Crook counties. Much of this land, upon examination, has been found un fit for foreet reeerve purposes, and will probably be turned back to Use public .domain, but those portions which are valuable for timber or as protection to watersheds are likely to be permanent ly reserved at some future time. In addition to the foregoing, 1,280 acres in Jackson county have been withdrawn with a view to enlarging the Ashland , reeerve and 4,480 acres in Crook county withdrawn to enlarge Maury mountain reserve. , Initiative Petitions Filed. Salem The secretary of state has notified the governor that he has re ceived and placed on file in his office two initiative bills, one to abolish toll roads and for the purchase of the Bar low road over the Cascade mountains, and the other for amending the local option law. Both bills are accom panied by petitions having the required number of signatures to insure their submission to a vote of tbe people. The governor must issue a proclama tion for each bill, to be published in at least one paper in each j-idicial dis trict. The publication of these pro clamations costs the state $275 each. Look for Busy Season. Baker City In spite of the heavy snow, the past week has been lively in mining circles, especially have the placer men been active in preparation for the coming season with the pros pect of a plentiful supply of water. George W. and Edward Borman have just put 15 men at work cleaning out their big ditch near the old Virtue mine, seven miles east of Baker City. In that vicinity there has been more snow this winter than at any one season in the 31 years the Brmans have been here. Feed Cattle On Beet Pulp. La Grande Grandy & Russell, tbe butcher firm, are feeding 1,000 head of cattle this winter, mostly for their own use. A great deal of sugar beet pulp ia used, also a large quantitv of hay. Ten men are employed steadily in feed ing and carins for the stock. Five teams are engaged in hauling beet pulp and three wagons are used in hauling hay. To Prospect for Oil. Eugene J. W. Zimmerman and C. F. Mitchell, of this city, who are work ing op a coal prospect ten miles south west of Eugene, are preparing articles of incorporation and will organize a joint stock company immediately to work the property. They have struck a vein of coal which they say promises well. They also announce that they will bore 1,000 feet or more in hope of striking oil. Minors Smoke Cigarettes. Eugene The members of the Loyal Temperance league, recently organised here, have taken up the matter of en forcing the law against giving and sell ing tobacco to minors. They announce that the first one caught violating the law will be arrested and fined. PROGRESS ON UMATILLA. Water Users Sign Contract la Best Among Irrigation Plans. Washington Officials of the recla mation service are pleated with the progress being made by the landowners on the Umatilla irrigation project. Late advices from the local engineer in dicate strong interest on the part of the water users, who have already pledged 13,000 out of the 18,000 acres Included in the project. As most of the legal difficulties have been adjusted by the secretary of the Interior, it is believed that no great delay will occur in sign ing up all the land embraced in this project. Although Umatilla is one of the minor national works in point of coet and acreage, its favorable climate, o v altitude, fertile soil and adaptability to a wide variety of products makes this one of the most attractive projects un dertaken. The land ia suited for orch ards and small fruits, and, when so used, from 10 to 20 acres are ample for the support of a family. The fruit and vegetables are the finest on the market. Transportation facilities are excellent, the markets being Portland and Spo kane. The engineering works ara simple, and, while the coet of the water ia 60 per acre, it is relatively low, compared with the values produced. Boil experts who have thoroughly examined the whole area are enthusiastic concerning the future of this section when watered and predict a populous and prosperous community here at no distant day. Snow la Heavy. Burns With 24 inches of snow in the Harney valley, and at places three feet of it, with the mountain roads almost impassable on account of the still heavier snowfall there, stockmen" are anxious concerning the prospects of getting their stock through the winter. There is an abundance of hay in the county, but stock, and especially sheep. lose flesh after feeding any length of time on the wild product of tbe valley. In addition to this fact, there is the ap prehension that a cold snap would prob ably have an injurious effect. I hi Hi Land Money Divided. Salem Secretary of State Dunbar has apportioned the 5 per cent land sales fund among tbe several counties of the state. This fund was received from the United States government and constitutes 5 per cent ol the proceeds of sales of government laud in Oregon for 1905. The apportionment is made upon the basis of the acreage of the several counties. The amount is $28,- 212.37. Macadamize Milton Street.

MINERS WILL STRIKE. Every Mine In Country To Be Tied Up Till Better Pay Is Secured. , Indianapolis, Iud., Feb J The re jection t the counter proposition offer ed bj the coal operators of the central competitive district by an almost unan imous vote of the National convection of the United Mineworkere, and tbe adoption of a resolution cffired by Sec retary Ryan, of Illinois, placing the miners on record as unit in refusing to sign an agreeuteut for any distrU t until an agreement was signed tor all dlfttricts under the jurisdiction of the United Mineworkere, has created a situation which, fn the opinion of the officials of the miners' organisation, will result in the disruption of the. joint agreement and probably one ol the greatest strikes of organised labor the country has ever known. Immediately after the rejection of. the operators' proposition the conven tion set about to provide means for ac cumulating a strike fund of $0,000,000 in addition to a like amount now on deposit in the international, district and sub-district treasuries of the min ers' organisations. To provide for an emergency Secretary Wilson moved that a per capita tax of $1 a week be voted and that all districts take care l the dependent miners within their jurisdiction tor at leaat six weeka. He said that after that time be believed the international organisation would be in a position to take cats of the miners. After the motion had been amended to substitute ten weeks for six as the time during which the districts should care for their dependents, the matter was referred to tbe international executive board with power to act. RIOTS AT CrJJJRCHES. Catholics Resist Entrance by Officers of French Republic. Paris, Feb. 2. Everywhere in France the actual putting into opt ra tion of tbe clause ol church and state separation bill which provides for the making of Inventories of the p.operty of the churches has aroused a storm ol protest. In several provincial parishes Catholics have gathered in the churches and made such strong resistance that the government commissioners were unable to enter the edifices. In Paris today violent scenes took place in several churches, notably that ol St. Clothilde. An inventory of the property of the church of St. Roche has not yet bfen made, owing to the op position of the congregation, but the defenders of the church ol St. Clothilde succumbed before the arcault ol an armed force which acted on the avowed intention of the government to nse every means at its disposal to compel obedience to the enactment. In tue cbarubo of deputies thia after noon Premier Rouvier replied to an in terpellation on the subject by a Social Ut deputy. The government, however, secured a vote of confidence by 384 against 166, after the premier had assured the chamber that the govern ment was desirous of using tact and moderation in carrying ont the law, but that it was fully determined to per form its duty, no matter what the cost. A dispacth from Dijon says fresh dis turbances broke cut today in front ol the church of St. Michael. The square was closed only after the free use of fire hose and the efforts of mounted gendarmes. Many arrests were made. TURN LIGHT ON HARRIMAN. Democrats Propose an Inquiry Into Southern Pacific Combination. Washington, Feb. 2. The Post will say tomorrow : The minority members of the house committee on Pacific railroads got to gether and agreed upon a plan of action through whicu they hope to throw the searchlight upon an alleged combine of the Southern Pacific and its tributaries, which they asert is on all fours with the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, and Southern in the East. A resolution will be introduced in the house requiring the president to transmit to congress all information that may be in the possession of the Interstate Commerce commission or any other division ol any department of the government bearing upon the al leged fact that the Southern Pacific Railway company is the holding com pany of the Union Pacific, the O. R. & N. Co. and the Oregon Short Line. Gale Breaka Up King David. Victoria, Feb. 2. The steamer Queen City, which reached Clayoquot today, reported that the British ship King David, which was wrecked on Bajo reef December,13, and abandoned by her crew while standing high and dry at low water on the reef, broke up during the gale on Monday, January 23, when the steamer Valencia was wrecked. Captain Davidson and crew, excepting the chief officer and eight men, who were lost when goijg to Cape Beale, to seek assistance were saved by the Queen City. Let People Elect Them.
