TO SAFEGUARD THE TIMBER
OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Congressman French Gave the Committee on
Public Lands a Strong Talk Against
the Pending Repeal Bill

the timbered area is 20000000 acres.
If this timber is worth only 81 an acre,
under this law you have turned over
to the arbitrary discretion of the secre-
tary of the interior. under regulations
that may be prescribed by him, $2O,-
600 900. If it is worth S. an acre. you
have turned over s100,000,000 If it is
worth $40 an acre. then you have
turned over 5000, 900. Therefore it
seems to me that this law, if it is to
a law. should be a little more closely
safeguarded in order that these lands
may be handled without the possibility
of fraud. l question the advisability
of delegating so much property to the
discretion, not to speak of the honor,
of one official. Under this bill it is
proposed to turn over without limita-
ton all the timber in the government
domain to the hands of one man.
las member of the house of repre-
sentatives. endeavoring in my humble
capacity to represent state which
probably more than any other is in
terested in this question, l am opposed
to the passage of the bill. II it must
pass 1t should not be in its present
form. It should be amended. 1t should
be safeguarded by careful wording SC
as to prevent any possible fraud in dis
posing of this valuable timber, and We
as trustees Of the people Of this coun-
| try, should see that their interests are
protected"

REPORT ON
MISSOURI.
No Blame to be Attached to the
Officers and Crew Who
Acted HerOically

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON. May 3.-The text OF
the finding of the court of inquiry on
the Missouri disaster was made public
this afternoon. The cause of the ac-
cident was the unexpected. ignition Of
two sections of a charge Of sm0keless
gunpowder then in the gun by q "fiare-
back" The flames ignited two OF the
sections in the ammunition car and q
shower of burning powder was pro-
jected down to the twelve-inch hand
ling room igniting eight other sections
Of smokeless powder.
The accident was in no respect due
to the fault or neglect on the part Of
the crew or officers. The court finds
the following worthy Of particular men4
tion under the head Of extraordinary
heroism, Acting Gunner Coz, Chief
Gunners Mate Moussen, Gunners Mate
Schepler. list Of eighteen other Of
| ficers and men including Captain
Cowles are given as deserving Of spe-
cial commendation."
Rear Admiral Barker advises the
! findings and comments at length on the
| properties and use Of smokeless powder
which are apparently not thoroughly
understood in our navy. The admiral
says that the conduct Of Captain
Cowles and the officers and crew was
superb and he makes special mention
Of Moussen's act OF crawling through
the hole of the burning magazine.

WASHINGTON. May 3-Before
leaving Washington Congressman.
French gave the committee on public
lands very Illuminating talk on the
subject of the repeal of, the timber ana
stone act He pointed out a weakness
in the bill that passed the senate, in
that it placed a very large amount OF
arbitrary power in the hands of one
officer of the government. He said;
While at the present time we have
an honorable and splendid man as the
secretary of the interior, this law in
its application during future years
might make possible the preparation
Of great frauds. There are SOC, 900
acres of unpatented land belonging TO
the government. There is no means OF
Knowing exactly how many acres OF
this land are covered with timber. This
does not include Alaska, which con-
talns something like 400,000.OOO acres
OF land still unpatented. In Idaho there
are over 41,OO0, 900 acres of unpatented
land. in Oregon over 23.000,000 acres
in Washington. 100000 acres, and in
California. over $4,000. 900 acres. MAX
ing total in these four states of ILL.,
100000 acres of unpatented land, part
or which is heavily timbered.
I believe that 1t would be a conserv-
ative estimate to say that one-ffth OF
the unpatented land is covered with
lumber. Assuming this to be correct
