BALLMER'S CONSERVATION
IS FOR RAILROAD'S INTEREST
Senator Chamberlain States That
Withdrawal of Lands in Forest
Reserves Would Enable Corpora
tions to File Scrip.
Fight Against Conservation Is Nut
for Benefit of Homesteaders, But
for Monopolistic Corporations and
Giving Latter Heritage of People.
When President Taft, at the in
stance of Rhh. rd A. Balllnger, sec
retary of tt'O Interior, opens up the
timber lands of Oregon to settle
ment tho big timber Interests will
gobble up what they and tho rail
roads do not already possess, and
tho homesteader will have, as bo
fore nothing.
Such Is the Balllnger brand of
conservation, declares United States
Senator George B. Chamberlain.
Such Is tho preparation lor serving
the Interests that tho secretary of
tho interior has mado wMle appar
ently planning for the anall settler.
Laughs at Balllnger
Senator Chamberlain laughed at
the statement mado by Balllnger
while In Portland recently that ho
favored tho restoration of all lands
to public entry that are available
for agricultural or commercial pur
poses. "If a homesteader finds agricul
tural land In tho middlo of the for
est reserve ho can settle on it law
fully" ho said. "There 13 nothing
In the withdrawl act that prevents
homesteadlnz on agricultural lands,
no matter wh.'-.t their location. The
assertion of the secretary that all
lands, including tho timber areas,
must bo restored to entry, If any
are restored, is ridiculous.
Senator Ch mberlain explained
what ho meant by saying that restor
ation of forest reserves In Oregon
"will mean their gobbling up by the
timbored Interests. By an act of
March 3, 1891, tho president was
empowered to from lmo to time set
apart as national reserves timber
lands In tho various states and terri
tories. This power was caused by
President ltoonovolt, thus setting at
naught Bellinger's assertion while in
Portland that the present administra
tion has made the only substantial
progress toward true conservation.
By necessity the work had to bo
quickly done, nnd many timos with
out careful examination of tho soil
or tho growths within tho reserve.
Many of tho lands included in tho
now reservations had been granted
to tho railroads. In these instances
the railroads woro given tho right to
deed ovor their holdings to tho gov
ommont, receiving in roturn equal
areas in lieu, thereof without tho re
serves, Tho Northern Paoific was ono of
tho railroads, said Senator Chamber
lain, that availed itself of this op

vnlloy. Mr. Parker comes to seek
a health resort for his family and
at tho same time a place in which to
continuo in tho fruitgrowing indus
try. Ho left Monday evening on the
motor for Ashland and will return
after a visit in that locality.
W. E. Kahlcr, who, after resting a
few days and recuperating from the
effects of his trip to Newport and)
tho Willamette valley, comes forth
and states that during his absence he
saw a bigger country than tho Rogue
River vnlloy, but not a better one.
Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Jeffers will
not leave Central Point, but it is un
derstood will build n neat home at
somo other part of tho city nnd set

If tho county court docs not at

Tho Y. M. C. A. building fund is
in tho immediato vicinity of the
$7000 mark, and the returns nre not
all in as yet. It is estimated that
almost $S000 mil be the result of
the final win duo.
The Y. M. C. A. band is now the

portunity. It surrendered and deed
ed to the government practically
worthless lands in tho Mount Ruinicr
forest reserve to receivo in return
thousands and thousands of acres of
Oregon's best timber lands by what
is called indemnity selection. The
act authorized the railrcnd to select
lands in any state where its lines ox
tended. Tho Northern Pacific rail
road had at tho timo about 30 miles
of railroad in Oregon.
"This right of indemnity selection
granted to tho Northern Pacific rail
way and the scrip which it had," said
Senator Chamberlain, "would enable
that company or its assignees to se
cure title nnd get possession of the
splendid forests of Oregon now held
in reserve, if those reserves are ever
opened up by congress or by execu
tive proclamation.
"I have been uiformcd that the
Northern Pacific railway company
has a contract with the Weyerhaeu
ser interests, under tho terms of
which much of tho right of indemnity
selection has been sold to the Wey
erhaeuser interests, but selections
are made in thu first instance under
this contract by the Northern Pa
cific Railway company. In addition
to this, there is danger that tho tim
ber nnd stone act would be availed
of in tho future ns in the past to sc
euro these timbered lands in the in
terests of eastern syndicates. No
body understands this situution bet
ter than Louis W. Hill, and nobody
understands better than he that the
fight against conservation in tho
west is not a fight in the interests of
tho people, but rather for the benefit
of the larger interests which I have
mentioned.
Thero is very littlo lnnd within the
reserves of Oregon that in fit for
homestead settlement nnd the plea
for those who are in search of home
stcads is absolutely without inent,
for, under tho law as it is today, the
actual homesteader can procure title
to lands within these reserves under
tho homestend law where the lands
are more valuable for agricultural
than for othor purposes.
"This," continued Senator Cham
berlain, "explains why Mr. Hill of the
Great Northern is so anxious to have
tho forest resorvos of Oregon open
ed up to settlement. I nm in fuvor
of opening up tho agricultural lands
for settlement, but not of handing
ovor tho timber lands to tho interests
that have already hogged as much as
they can. I boliovo in n policy of
sano conservatism. That is tho pol
icy of Theodore Roosevelt and of
Gifford Pinchot. It means tho with
holding of valuable timber from in
terests that will use it in creating
monopolies nnd in maintaining extor
tionato prices. It moans using dis
crimination in restoring lands lo en
try so that tho homestender who
actually builds a homo can secure
farm lands while at tho sumo timo
preventing tho big timber interohts
from obtaining a greater hold than
they have at present."
