FORESTRY IRRIGATION q,e
AND HOMES ON THE LAND;

While the house committee on public
lands was brazenly insisting that the
spectators should still be permitted to
buy government timbered land at $3.50
per acre, when it was worth anywhere
from $25 to $3.50 an acre the forestry
bureau was selling the matured timber
only, on portion of the Montana for
est reserve, not at $3.50 per acre, but
at from SO to $3.50 per thousand feet
As most of it consists of dense growth
Of lodge pole pine, it probably aver
aged $4,000 feet per acre, without
counting the small, immature trees. So
the forestry bureau was getting from
$50 to 500 per acre, for the stumpage
alone, on just such land as the house
committee insists on selling at $3.50
for timber and land together.
Pine Lumber Costly in Minnesota.
Minnesota is spoken of in the Min.
neapolis Lumberman as "the last home
Of the pine" But ten thousand men
are yet engaged in cutting down the
trees and reducing them to lumber so
that next to agriculture the lumber
business is yet the largest industry in
the state. But practically all the tim
berland has been absorbed by few
men under the familiar operation Of
the Communication clause of the home
stead act and of the timber and stone
act. Having monopoly of the pro-
duet, they have put up prices to such
figures as to seriously retard the set.
tlement of northern Minnesota. They
make no provision for renewing the
forests.
1t is a curious spectacle to see fir
lumber from Oregon and Washington
on sale in Minnesota towns yet almost
surrounded by pine woods-pine which
the people cannot afford to usel Yet,
blinded by subsidized press, some Of
the people of northern Minnesota actu,
ally look upon any proposition to re
store the forests, on any portion of the
cut over lands, as conspiracy against
the welfare of their part of the state,

The foreman OF the Home Telephone
and Telegraph company arrived In
Astoria yesterday for the purpose Of
commencing immediate construction Of
the new system TO be installed here.
The poles and wires have arrived, the
poles being ut Tongue Point and the
wire on the o. Il. 4 n. Company dock.
On account OF the, tools not arriving
yesterday, work 81 setting up the poles

system in the city Of Astoria, work
must be commenced by the lat day Of
November 1906, or within six months
from he granting Of The franchise.
The ordinance provided that the tele.
phone company must pay the sum Of
$500 year, annual license. which the

asked for sn extension OF time, which
the council granted on condition that
the company deposit $1,000, but the

diatcly ordered their poles and wire to

The ordinance provides that the sys.
tenn must be completed within one year
and now that the company has all Of
its poles and wires on the ground, and
expects to commence immediate con-
struction Of the line, there seems to
be no doubt but they mean business

Under the provisions OF the franchise
all the wires on Astor, Bond and Com

ter securing the franchise, f, II. Etowe

The new system is an automatic one.
There are no party lines, all being on
the same line, and each patron has a

Stensland, Wrecker of Milwaukee Az
enue State Bank, 70 Return.
Washington, Sept. "a dispatch
was received at the state department
yesterday from Mr. Grummere, Ameri-
can minister to Morocco, conveying
the information that Paul o. Stems
land, the president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State Bank of Chicago, was
turned over yesterday to Managing
Editor Kelley of the Chicago Trib-
4une and Assistant States Attorney
Olson of Chicago, who apprehended
the fugitive banker at Tangier. While
the dispatch does not say so, the pre-
sumption is that Stensland will re-
main in confinement at the American
legation at Tangier until arrange
ments have been perfected for his re-
moval to the United States.
Messrs. Kelley and Olson will be
held responsible henceforth for the
safeguarding Of the prisoner. They
will be permitted to make their own
arrangements for the return of Stems
land, and it is said they have under
consideration a merchant vessel, the
name of which has not been divulged.
The naval refrigerating ship Glacier,
now en- route home from Manila, is
the only government vessel that will
be available for many weeks, and she
will not reach Tangier for at least

MINING LEASES HELD VALID.
constitutionaIity of Mineral Lease

ConstitutionaIity of Mineral Lease
Laws Upheld by Supreme Court.
st. Paul, Sept. 9.-The constitution
ality of the mineral lease laws and
the validity of the Mabel Evans lease
are upheld by the state supreme
court in decision handed down yes
terday.
The case was important not only
because of the value of the Mabel
Evans lease. but because it involved
the validity of the leases of all the
iron ore lands owned by the state.
The case was tried in the Duluth
district court. and the court held that
the charges of fraud has no founda-
ton. and also that the law was con-
stitutional. The law was attacked on
the ground that it contravened the
constitutional provision prohibiting
the sale of school lands except by
public sale. The question before the
court then was whether the right to
the minerals constituted sale of
part of the land" or lease to the
land
