Alleged Timber Fraud.

Quite number of our citizens own
present these claims are the subject OF
Investigation It is believed that Cor.
yalllsites who ho.d timber claims in
Lake county are all right, as they acted
and tried to avoid irregularities.
1t is said that Special Agent Grygla,
of the United States Land Office. is at
Lakeview and has more than 500 claims
to Investigate and in every case where
there is evidence of irregularity the
claimants will be summoned to show
cause why their titles should not be
cancelled. 1t makes no difference
whether or not patent to the land has
been granted.
A dispatch from Ashland contains the
following bearing on this subject:
Two years ago, when the timber land
excitement was rather acute, a number
of men went from this valley into the
Lakeview district, to take up timber
claims and as to a good proportion of
them it was understood that they were
acting for Eastern capitalists, who sup
piled the money for expenses and the
purchase price of the timber land That
some of them were without any means
to purchase land was a matter Of COM
mon knowledge. Later large numbers
OF people from the East were taken into
that country by way of Ashland, some
times as many as 20 or more in party,
to locate timber, whose condition .and
the circumstances of their visit pointed
to the belief that they were acting as
dummies" in getting title to timber
lands. There were at the same time
many visitors who unquestionably COM
piled with the law in good faith in pur-
chasing timber lands.
The expense of a trip to Lakeview is
considerable and will work hardship to
legitimate claimants in a few instances,
but the greater number have some one
with money behind them. In fact, in
many instances the lands have already
passed from the original purchasers, who
simply acted as claimants under an
agreement to sell to another party.

AROUSlNG GRATITUDE.

It is no small matter for con-
graduation that the president has
declined to arbitrate the We're
zuela controversy, but has secur-
ed a reference of it to the Hague
commission. The czar suggest
ed this tribunal in the interest OF
peace. 1t is a peace tribunal.
All, or at least all of the priue1-.
pal governments of Europe, prom
ised to refer their difficulties to
it. The United States and
Mexico are parties to the agree
n1ent, Germany and Italy were
averse to submitting the dispute
to the Hague tribunal. 1t is
probable Germany hoped to have
president Roosevelt act as arbiter
that this government might be
made to guarantee that Venezue-
la would comply with the award
made. It is not yet a part OF
our national policy that we shall
90 on the bail.bond of any ma
ton. The president has avoided
placing the United States In a
position where any such guaran-
tee by us might be expected by
any of the parties to the contro-
versy. There is reason to be-
lieve that Germany would be
glad to see the Hague Commls'
sion die of inanition. Her army
chafes because of prolonged peace
She has an expensive, untrlee
modern navy which she desires
to test by the conditions of actu
al conflict. IF the peace of the
world depended on Germany''
inclination we should teel that i
held by slight tenure.
The action of President Roose
velt and Secretary Hay has Civ
en- a new lease Of life to tn
Hague tribunal, and greatl
strengthens peaceful arbltratlo
as the most desirable method c
settling international disputes
Americans, friends Of peace an
progress everywhere should fee
grateful to the president an
his secretary-of- for thl
grand achievement.
Added to this the Monroe doc
trine has received the expresse
sanction of all the powers no.

Washington Sept. Ex-senator Foraker and

IN Ohio freely. Both confident that Senator
Hanna will have a majority OF from 80 to 10
votes I'm the legislature Joint ballot, notwith-
standing Tom Johnson's whrlwind campaign,
which is calculated to enlist the support not
only OF the Democrats but OF the Socialists in
both parties.
The only possible danger to the Republican
party in the coming election said Senator
Foraker lis the possibility of overcOnfdence
on the part OF the Republican voters. The cam
paign promises to be an interesting one, and
there is little doubt that johnson will be
able to bring out full vote from his supporters,
but that viii not come anywhere near carrying
the legislature provided the Republicans all 20
to the polls. Senator Hanna is doubtless per
fectly safe in so far as reelection goes"
Representative Dick declined 10 say whether
the challenge of John II. Clarke to Senator
Hanna 20 meet in joint debate would lie ac-
cepted. Mr. Dick said that when he left Ohio
the challenge had not reached him and that he
would consider the matter when 1t did. 1t is
generally believed that IN issuing the challenge
Johnson and Clarke are merely seeking nCto-
