1 MÜER LAND BILL Ht ADV.
Senate Committee Favors Repeal, but
Fulton Will Fight II.
Washington,' March 19.— The senate
public lands committee today virtually
completed the bill to repeal the timtar
am! stone m t and authorise the sal« of
public timber al not less than its ap
praisal value, small dealers to ta given
ptefeieme in the sale» ami miners free
us« of timtar for domestic put|>*ara,
the same aa in forest reserves.
An amendment insisted u;«in by Min-
ator Fulton will ta a* I opt»* I giving the
counties 10 jar cent ot the amount ot
sale« in their respective limit« in lien
of taxes.
The i-onimittee is also framing • bill
tn permit bomralead entry ot agricul
tural land in forest reserves. This bill
is deaigned perticularly to meet lhe
principle objection tn reserves in Ida
ho. Senator Ihlbois is strongly urging
this measure and predicta its passage.
Mr Fulton is the only memtarot the
committee op|>*a«il to ths re|aal of the
timtar and stone act, but other West
ern senators agree with him and will
join turn in oppiaition to the bill when
it cornea up in the senate.
In caae it
is impiwelble to prevent the passage ot
th« bill by th« senate, Mr. Fulton will
seek to im rroae ths amount to la paid
count Ira from the receipts *ot limlar
sale« from 10 to 25 per cent.
The Oregon senator is so thoroughly
convincnl ot the inadvisability ot re-
l>«tllrig the limlar and so ne act that
he will carry his fight to the house and
seek to induce the house committee to
table Hie senate bill, just aa it baa
heretofore lafiled a si.n'lar bill In the
lions». Ils frals i erta n that this leg
islation will ta killed in the house, it
not in th» senate.
