Bill to Be Introduced Into Congress
Permitting Timbermen to Pay"$258
an Acre and Secure Title 990,000
Acres of Land Is Involved.
With the aim of clearing the title
to 390,000 acres of timber land ;n
Oregon which tho United States has
brought suit to have forfeited, a bill
will bo introduced into congross this
wcok, with tho approval of the entire
Oregon delegation, allowing the pur
chasers of tho lands from the South
ern Pacific land grant to secure pat
ent to them upon payment of $2.50
an acre to the United States.
These lands compriso tho millions
of dollars worth of timber in the
Willamette, Rogno and Umpqua val
leys tfnd in western 'Oregon, pur
chased by largo lumber companies
from tho Southern Pncifio nud for
merly n pnrt of the Oregon & Cali
fornia congressional grant. Tho cor
porations, ench of which, hns been
made a defendant in suits fov the for
foituro of tho lands brought by the
United States subsequent to tho suit
against tho Oregon & California rail
road itself.
While the attitudo of the depart
ment of justice to tho proposed plan
whereby the lumbormen would bo nl
lowed to repurchnso tho lands from
tho government lias not been made
public, it is understood tbnt Attorney
General Wiekershnm and H. D. Town
send, special assistant to tho attor
ney general, who has personal charge
of tho government's enscs against
tho railroad and tho lumbermen, do
not oppose tho introduction of tho
hill into congress. Whatever recom
mendations (hoy mnko nftor tho bill
has been Tcforred to tho department
of justtfo for approval, will bo on
the legnlity of the proposed act and
upon its prohnblo effect upon tho main
suit against tho Oregon & California
railroad for tho forfeiture of 2,300,
000 acres that tho railroad still re
tains froth tho original tract. Tho
department will probably not express
itself regarding tho policy of tho net.
which it regards as a matter for con
gress to dotermino.
Tlio effect of tho bill, if it bocomes
a law, is dependent upon tho outcome
of tho trial of tho suits against the
17 purchasers of railroad lands in
quantities greater than 1000 acres in
the Vuitcd States circuit court. Thoso
suits were filed January 21, 10Q9, nud
charged that the Oregon & California
railroad had violated its ngroomont
with tho United States in soiling por
tions of its grant for moro than $2.50
nn ncro and in quantities grentor thnn
100 acres to ench purohnsor. It was
alleged in tho suits that tho railroad
having violated tho tonus of the grant
tho lands wero forfeited to the government.

tion has already developed, and- the
chances for a complete cessation of

Prospects for amicable adjustment
of conditions in China became less

The police (his afternoon recoived
word from the father of Harriet
Forbes. His name is J. J. Richmond
and bo resides nt Twin Falls, Id. Ho
ordered the body shipped to that city.
After writing a note in which she
expressed herself as "disgusted and
tired of life" and begging her "daddy"
not to blame "Tom" for her death,
Ilnrriet Forbes, aged 21, who has been
in Medford nbout four weeks, em
ployed a portion of that tirao at tho
Manhattan cafe, drained a vial .
laudanum early Sunday morning and
died later at tho Sacred Heart hos
pital, where slio-waa.rnslic.d.forUreat-ment
after her condition hW,"j"ocir'"1
discovered. Tho police today nro en
deavoring to locate her parents, but
so far have failed.
Tho young woman evidently had
planned, the suicide somo weeks ago.
She left a will nsido from tho note
which was dated "Kansas City, Octo
ber 5," and she had evidently pur
chased tho laudanum at n Bisbee,
Ariz., drug store, as the small bot
tle contained that address on tho
label, although tho namo of tho drug
store had been carefully removed. Tho
will provides for tho disposition of
her child, aged 4, who is now beliovcd
to bo at Twin Falls, Idaho, evidence
to this effect being unearthed in her
letters.
On Saturday evening Mrs. Forbes
attended the dance nt the Nntntorium
and was evidently in her usual men
tal condition. Sho returned to her
room at the Emerick. Somo tirao be
tween tho bour of her return and
daylight she drank the laudanum.
Heard Groans.
Grover Coram, tho proprietor of
tho rooming houc, while calling sev
eral lodgen, in tho morning, heard
groans issuing from hor rom. Ho
immediately cnlled tho polico, who
broko into the room and found the
girl dying. Dr. Stenrns was called,
but ho was not nblo to ovorcomo the
efeots of tho drug, tho girl dying
shortly nftor sho reached tho hos
pital. A noto was found by tho jwlico
which tho girl bad nddresscd to "Dear
Daddy." No other address was found
and tho polico today aro endeavoring
to got some trnoo of tho girl's par
ents, ner mother is dead, as sho
wills tho child to her father and step
mother, and begs them to soo that tho
courts nro not allowed to give tho
child to her husband, Forbes, who hnd
evidently doserted hor.
In the noto tho woman begged hor
father not to blnmo "Tom," who is
believed to ha Tom Hnglor, n line
man formerly employed by tho Pa
cific States Telephone- company in
this citj, who left recently for Sncrn
monto. Hnglor had been soon often
with tho girl in this city and wn
evidently known to hor parents. Tho
note clears him of having anything to
do with hor death, but tho polico nro
endeavoring to locnto him, ns ho is
supposed to know whoro hor pnrentH
nro. Among hor effects was found n
photograph takon of Hnglor and hor
solf. Tho woman had also gono un
