Seattle VIII Help lewiston Charleston
Bridge for Selfish Reasons.

The Seattle News says of the eff
fort to secure a free bridge over the
Snake river at Lewiston:
The commercial clubs of Lewiston,
Idaho. and Charleston, Wash, have
appealed to the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce for aid in securing legis-
lation this winter to establish a large
steel bridge across the Snake river
that shall put an end to tolls and
ferry charges; in other words. large
free interstate bridge.
The legislatures of both Washing
ton and Idaho are to be appealed to
for an appropriation.
Seattle is asked to help because the
Seattle jobbing houses are deeply in
terested. The construction of a road
leading into Lewiston from the south
eastern part of the state has already
enabled stock buyers TO divert live
stock shipment to Seattle.
The matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the Seattle chamber,
and it is believed will be favorably
acted upon.
Governor Mead has already given
the subject his approval, as has the
governor of Idaho, as we'll as the
Chamber of Commerce of Spokane. A
large part of the business which
comes from the territory in south
eastern Washington and northeastern
Oregon, and at present all of this
commerce, before 1t reaches its des-
tination, must pay toll either as fer
ryage or bridge charges across the
Snake river, adding to the tota
charges at this end of the line as
against the traffic in other direc-
tions. Prior to the construction of the
system of roads built by Lewiston
and Charleston the trade of Flora
Paradise and the section indicated
above, was inaccessible to Seattle.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-12-27

In the January number of the Cos
mopolitan is an article by c. P. Nor
cross entitled, ''Weyerhaeuser-
Richer than Rockefeller" descriptive
OF the lumber king of the northwest,
and the methods employed by him to
acquire billions in timber through
land frauds and sharp practice with
the government
The feature Of the article that in
tsrests the people of Oregon most re-
lates 20 the part played by Senator
Fulton. through whose amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill, valua-
hle timber land was given by the
government in exchange for worthless
land in the klamath reservation at a
profit of over sS,o00,o00 to Weyer-
hauser. This transaction IS described
as follows:
Wagon Grant Tract.
another of the methods used by
the Weyerhauser interests to secure
land is Of so recent date that there is
ficially investigated; in this instance
as in others it brought about the turn
ing over by the government to the
Weyerhauser people of an enormous
tract of rich and valuable land.
Somewhere back in the fifties the
state of Oregon granted to the Cali
fornia & Oregon Land company a
large tract Of land lying between Eu-
gene Ore, and silver City, Cal. This
grant was made for a turnpike road
Much of the land is worthless now
and the road Is practically unused;
still there are parts of it heavily tim
bered. The establishment of the
Klamath forest reservation by the
government took in 100000 acres OF
this land. It may seem strange, but
by some mysterious means these $780,
0O0 acres drifted into the hands OF
one man. He gave an option on the
whole thing to o. O. Searle of Mime
apolis, at an upset price of $1,000
600 or $l.25 an acre. Searle, who Is
in business with A. E. Johnson & Co.
of Minneapolis, entered into negotia'
tons with the weyerhauser syndicate
10 buy the land They held off, anC
never did act through Searle, but go
ing behind his back they secured 1t il
another way. II is safe to assume
that they did not pay more thai
Searle asked.
Fulton Amendment.
1T may be merely a coincidence
but soon after this tract of land hat
passed into the hands of the Weyer
hauser crowd. Senator Fulton, o
Oregon (whose name has from tim
to time been mentioned in connection
with that of the late Senator Mitch
ell, who, convicted of land frauds
died suddenly, introduced a resolu
ton as an amendment to the Indial
appropriation bill authorizing the lam
company to exchange 111,O00 acre

DIED IN HIS MILK WAGON.
High Water Delays Repairs Made
Necessary by Flood.

Freewater, Ore. Dec. 27.-Robert
Byers, a state line rancher. living
about four miles from this city, died
Christmas morning from heart fall
ure while driving his milk wagon on
his daily route. He was soon missed
by his family who learned That just
previous to his death he was seen in
front of Clint Hodgins' place, leaning
forward in his seat. Soon afterward
he was found in his wagon dead. The
deceased was about so years of age
and leaves a wife and IL children,
nine of whom are married.
Delays Flood Repairs.
The recent rains have delayed work
along the Walla Walla river, which
is being dyked to protect the property
of the residents from future floods.
The dyke was being built as rapidly
as men and teams could do the work,
but the late weather has destroyed
considerable of the work already
done. and will cause quite a loss.

PARTICIPATING POINTERS

The property owners say they
are ready and anxious to pave.
They fully realize the importance
Of it and the benefits in the
way Of enhanced valuation Of
property. Many Of them say the
are ready TO pay their part in cash
and doubtless they are many Others
who would agree to pave on two or
three years time. II is doubtful if
many Of them want to have the
payments extended over twenty
years with a tax claim on theii
property in the meantime
A practical method OF procedure
would be for the paving committee
to make a canvass Of the property
owners in the district to be paved
and ascertain from each individual
on what terms he is willing to
pave. Ascertain how many are
willing TO pay cash and what terms
of payment the remainder want.
When a complete showing is thus
made, the contractors can be called
in and il ought not to be difficult
to arrange a contract whereby each
individual will become responsible
for his part Of the payment.
Some earnest work along this
line should result in putting an
end to the milling in a very
short time. If a few blocks
are paved in this manner, there is
little doubt that paving will soon
become contagious and Chickasha
will take her place abreast with The
other enierprising cities Of the
new state.
