SECRETARY DENIES ISSUING An ORDER
sUsPENDING ENTRIES UNDER
THE ACTOR Benefit TO
WALLA WALLANS.
SECRETARY DENIES ISSUING an ORDER

A number of persons in the state
Of Washington, desiring to take up
lands under the timber and stone act,
hesitated to do so and called upon
Congressman Jones for information in
regard to the matter, is the report that
comes from Washington, D. C. They
called his attention to press reports
to the effect that the secretary of the
interior had recently issued or formu-
lated an order directing that no further
proofs would be approved and no pat
ents would be issued under the timber
and stone act until the present session
of congress adjourns under the suppo-
sition that this was done for the pur-
pose of preventing any further selec-
ton under the act until congress has
repealed or decided not to repeal the
act
Mr. Jones thereupOn took up the mat
ter with the secretary of the interior
who has informed him that the depart
ment of the interior has not issued
the order referred to in the news
paper reports.
In this connection, however, the COM
missioner of the general land office
was directed November "a, to sus-
pend action on all entries under the
act of June 3, 1873, known as the tim
Der and stone act, in California, Ore
gon and Washington, the suspension
to continue for such time as may be
reasonably required to make necessary
inquiry into and investigation of such
entries. This order has been modi-
fled at various times to permit the pat
enting of certain classes of entries
free from suspicion of fraud, and on
December q, 1903, the secretary of the
interior directed the commissioner of
the general land office to discontinue
submitting these cases to the interior
department to himself take scuh ac-
ton as the facts in each case seemed
to warrant, so as to avoid delay in the
disposition of the cases.
Another casce brought to the atten-
ton of Congressman Jones was that
of a supposed influx of strange Indians
of the COlville reservation, presumably
for the purpose Of acquiring land in
the allotments Mr.. Jones immediate
ly laid this matter before the secretary,
who has in return referred it to the
Indian office, which now has it under
consideration and investigation If any
Indians are on the land who do not
belong there the Indian office will see
to it that they do not share in the gen.
eral distribution of lands to be made
to those rightfully belonging on the
reservation.

IT IS UP TO THE MAYOR
JUDGE BROOKS ISSUES WRIT OF
MANDAMUS IN CONTROVERSY
OVER CONTRACTS. -,..5....... ~

Judge F. G. Brooks Of the district
bench has made an order for an alter
native writ of mandamus requiring
Mayor David P. Jones either to sign
a. contract with the Patterson Street
Lighting company for incandescent
lighting for the year 1906, or to show
cause why he should not do so. The
writ is returnable an Monday, JAM 8. :,
This action is regarded as most i'm
portant to the city, as it will deter.
mine. the legality of the method adopted
by the council for awarding contracts.
Since 1898 it has been the practice Of
the council to award contracts by a
motion adopting the report of the com
ferred. Previously it was the custom
to accompany the committee s report
with formal resolution. which went
to the mayor for his approval. Mayor
Jones takes the position that the latter
is the only correct and legal manner
for awarding contracts, By the pres.
ient method he is deprived Of his right
of review and the veto power in i'm.
=portant public matters, and his func:
ton in signing contracts becomes a
mere clerical form. -
