EVENTS In WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Timber and Stone Bill.

Senator Hansbrough introduced in
plication, repeals the timber and stone
| act, under which land is now acquired
| at $3.50 an acre. regardless of its real
value. The measure is intended to cure
defects in existing laws, stop specula-
ton in public timber lands and put
an end to the frauds which recently
have grown into a national scandal.
1t was referred to the committee on
public lands, of which the author is
chairman.
The secretary of the interior is au-
thorized under the new bill to make
examinations and estimates relative to
the quantity and value of the tim
Ter and stone on the public lands. and
to sell the right to dispose of the same
in such quantities as may seem advis-
able. to the highest bidders. This plan
is now pursued in the sale of timber on
Indian lands in Minnesota. The title
to the land remains in the government
and the secretary of the interior may
fix the limit of time in which the pur-
chaser of the right shall remove the
timber or stone The right to cut the
timber and make it merchantable
quantity is made inalienable.
comes a law. all the timber land on the
public domain will be withdrawn from
entry, and the government will enter
upon the policy of disposing of its tim
Der at its market value. One provision
in the bill prohibits the entry of these
lands under the homestead or old land
laws.
1t is argued by Senator Hansbrough
that in leaving the fee to the land in
the government, reforestration will
take place and the sale of timber will
be source of large revenue.
The second section of the bill
amends the lieu land section act so as
to provide that when settler whose
entry falls within forest reserve. Sc
lects another piece of land in lieu of
his original entry. it must be more
valuable for agricultural purposes than
for timber or stone. Under the exist
ins Low, many nf tho antrymen who
find themselves within forest reserve.
cut and dispose of the timber on the
land and later go outside OF the reserve
and HE a homestead on other home
stead land.
The third section of the bill amends
the act of March IL. 1902, and requires
all proofs of commuted homestead and
desert land entries to be made before
registers and receivers in local land
Offices. This proposed amendment to
existing law Is recommended by the
commissioner of the general land office,
who in his last report says:
The privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused. particularly
by United States commissioners, who
have often been parties to wholesale
frauds in connection with proofs made
before them"

Giant Tree Purchase Urged.

In his annual report Capt Charles
Young, acting superintendent or Sc
quota and General Grant National
parks in California. in which many
giant trees are located. urges the ac-
QUESTION by the government of the
land in those parks, now owned by pri-
vate individuals. In Sequoia park
there are many large tracts thus
owned. and after waiting in vain for
years for the government to purchase
their property. the owners are begin
ming to sell off the large timber.
MANY of them are tired of walt
Ing says Captain Young These big
trees grow close to the county road.
The owners have cut them by the
Wholesale and put lumber upon the
market. and where once was a fine
forest of magnificent giants, there is
now devastation and ruin in the shape
of stumps and sawdust piles on either
side of the high road. II is but just
to the owners and for the best inter
ests of the government that the pur-
chase of these patented lands within
Inc park be authorized by Congress If
the parks are to be continued"
He says the lands can be secured
for reasonable prices. Captain Young
says game in increasing.
Major John Pitchers report on Yel-
lowstone park is devoted largely to the
condition of the game in THAT pre-
serve. He recommends that provi-
sions be made for feeding game in the
park In the winter. The danger of
loss by starvation, he says, is increas-
ing yearly. owing to the fact that the
country around the park is being set
tied. thus limiting the range. He
thinks it would not he a difficult mat
ter to feed the antelope and sheep as
their winter range is close to Fort Vel
lowstone. He places the number of
antelope in the park at about 1000.
The mountain sheep have increased
considerable in number in the past
year, and there are now over 100 in
the park.
The bear seems to be abort as
numerous as year ago. They have
done no harm to any one during the
past season.
The deer seems to be increasing
more rapidly than any other game in
the park, at least they are becoming
tanner and more fearless than any
other species.
The new buffalo herd, which is
under the immediate charge Of C. ].
.Ionea. is doing excellently well. but
the increase in the herd this year was
not as great as was hoped for.
Major Pitcher says it is Of the
greatest importance that the boundary
lines of the park, in addition to being
surveyed. should be marked SD thor
oughly as to render it impossible for
any one to cross the line without
knowing that he has entered the re-
servation.

Petitions signed by 1875 citizens OF

that much land remains in the pro-

Panama Recognition Approved.

At the Cabinet meeting Nov 10th
the Panama situation was the sole
topic of discussion. The whole situa-
tion in respect to the revolution out
of which has grown the Republic of
Panama was considered thoroughly.
Approval of the course of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay in the matter
was given by members of the Cab
met.
No further statements concerning
the organization of the new republic
or the relations between Panama and
the United States regarding the con-
struction of the Isthmian canal will
be made at this time. The situation.
so far as American interests on the
isthmus are concerned, is regarded to
be in excellent shape.
1t is not regarded as likely that any
additional naval force will be ordered
to the isthmus. Certainly no land
forces will be ordered to Panama, un-
less the situation should take serious
turn.
An important conference concerning
the Panama situation was held at the
White House just prior to the formal
meeting of the Cabinet. The partici-
pants in the conference were Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Senator Hanna and
members of the Cabinet.
I'VE talked of variety of topics"
said Senator Hanna, among them the
Panama situation. That is not a po-
litical question-not even a technical
one. The people of this country want
an, Isthmian canal built, and they want
it built by the Panama route. They
have accepted the Panama route. and
they propose to stand by the President
in the matter of constructing the canal
by that route"
Rear Admiral Glass, commanding
the Pacific Station, arrived at Panama
this morning with the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Concord.
By virtue of his rank Admiral Glass
will have supreme command over the
naval forces in the vicinity of Panama.
There is no expectation here of a
hostile clash on the isthmus. for it is
believed that the Colombian govern
ment, when fully advised Of what has
happened, will accept the inevitable.
and not attempt to send troops to at
tack Panama in the face of the United
otates naval vessels guarding the ap-
prOaches.

blizzard in the Northwest.

Salt Lake, Nov. 12.-The whole Pa
cific coast, from British Columbia to
Southern California and the states of
Oregon, Washington. Idaho, Montana
Nevada, Wyoming. Utah and Western
Colorado. were swept by a severe
storm yesterday that resulted in an al
most total prostration of telegraph
service over that territory. and in the
mountains has all but tied up the rail
roads in regular mid-winter block
ade.
Tho storm, which is still raging
with unbeatable fury, is the severest
on the coast. For five days rain has
been falling without cessation in the
Puget Sound country. which turned in
to snow yesterday, accompanied by
wind, which is blowing at the rate of
thirty-five miles an hour. Heavy gales
are reported along the entire Pacific
coast in California, accompanied by
torrential rains. So far, however, no
marine disasters have been reported.
!, In the gorges of the Cascade noun
tains of Oregon snow is reported to be
four feet deep on the level and still
falling. and railroad traffic is seriously
impeded in consequence.
