MURRAY AND HARRISON FALSE
TO THEIR TRUST AS STATE
EMPLOYEES

With a view t" ascertaining for the
Information of the readers Ct the ISL.
AMBER "the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth" relative to
alleged dishonest locatio S of timber
lnds IN Skagit county by John L..
Murray and E. w. Harrison, when
they were employees of the state in the
Office of Former Land Commissioner
Calvert, the editor addressed the fol-
loving letter TO the present land COM
missioner, Hon. E. w. Ross:
Friday Harbor, Wash, Oct. Z, 1906.
Hon. E. W. Ross,
State Land Commissioner,
Olympia, Wash.
Dear Sir: The recent disclosures in
the Post-Intelligencer relative to al
legged abuses of public trust on the
part of certain employees of the State
Land Commissioners Office in the ad-
mnistration of Commissioner Call
vert have naturally aroused much in
terest in this county, where two OF
the gentlemen whose names are most
prominently connected with the af-
fair, Messrs. John L. Murray and E.
w. Harrison, are now candidates for
office on a ticket nominated by bolt
ers from the regular Republican Or
SANITATION, through which they have
received all the official hOnOrs and
emoluments which have come to them
in former years. l have considered
both of these gentlemen friends OF
mine for many years and have not
only Loyalty supported them for elect
i've Offices when they were candidates
on the regular Republican ticket, but
was largely instrumental in securing
for Mr. Murray his position as chief
clerk in the Land Commissioners Of
flee through my long acquaintance
with and friendship for Judge Call
vert. | am not supporting them now,
for the reason that they have turned
against the party workers in this
county, to whom they are indebted
for all the official positions they have
ever held, and are prominently al
lied with a so-called independent
movement having its origin in per-
sonal quarrel. which has no proper
place in the politics of the county.
| do not wish to be unjust to Mr.
Murray or to Mr.. Harrison in the
slightest way. If they have not been
guilty of any reprehensible conduct
in connection with the location OF
timber claims in Skagit county, 1t is
unfair to seek to prejudice the public
against them by charging, inferential-
ly, at least, that they cOnspired to de-
fraud the state.

ton. whether the lands they filed
upon, after the cruisers had selected
for the state all the land it was en-
titled to under it's preference right to
fill out the grant for scientific schools,
are more valuable lands, by reason OF
their timber or favorable location,
than the state lands, and also whether
the locations which they made for
themselves might have been mace
for the state as lieu lands to apply
upon other deficient grants under the

that they must have been false to their
trust as state employees and that their

HOW THE GRAFT
WAS WORKED
METHOD OF SELECTING STATE
LANDS EXPLAINED FROM
OLYMPIA

| telligencer from Olympia, published
on the 4th inst, and manifestly based
upon facts which could only be ascer-
tanned from official sources, shows the
manner in which state land selec-
tons are made, and also explains how
it was possible for former employees
of the state land commissioners Of
fee to gobble for themselves, without
laying themselves liable to either civil
or criminal prosecution, lands which it
was their plain duty to acquire for the
state. The dispatch referred to is
as follows:
Investigation made here shows
that the old records of the Office of
the state land commissioner under
former administrations are very diff
cult to check or to trace. Facts are
difficl-- to ascertain, as, for instance,
to find the 1,500-acre shortage against
the state exposed in the Post-Intelli-
gencer, it was necessary to check by
forty-acre tracts the entire lands COW
cred by the original 7,000-acre list
which was subsequently withdrawn.
The records, taken in connection with
those of the federal land Office at Sc
attic, show positively, however, that
the state had claim under it's first
selection to the lands and could have
passed selection to full title on be-
half of some grant or another, but
that instead the former land Office
employees failed to protect the states
interests, procured REIMBURSEMENT
by the state and got the lands for
themselves.
IF there is any manner of Furnishing
these former state employees, officials
here profess entire ignorance of such
a law. The state, having formally
relinquished the lands, of course has
lost all it's rights in the land so far as
the government is concerned, and the
state employees, not having been bond
ed and not now being in the states
employ, cannot be reached.
Method Of Operating.
ITO understand how it was possible
for former employees of the state land
commissioners Office to take advan-
tage of inspections of government
lands made at the states expense and
secure title to themselves, instead of
allowing the state to select the land,
which has been charged in the sensa-
tional stories from Seattle, it is nee
essary that the manner in which the
state makes selections should be un-
derstood ION admission as q state
Washington was granted certain lands
by the general government, to be Sc
| lected later. These grants included
lands to aid the university, to aid the
normal school, to aid the state chart
table, penal and reformatory institu-
| tons, etc., in addition to the two Sec
lions in each township granted for the
support of the common schools From
time to time, after admission of the
state, selections were made as govern
ment lands were surveyed.
| Usually the custom is that as soon
as townships of government lands
have been surveyed and the plats
filed in the United States land Office.
notice is sent the state of such filings,
and the state, under the law, has
sixty days from the date of such filing
in which to make filings on any such

MIKE WARD RETIREs.

Detroit. July 20.-The retirement of Mike Ward. the clever Sarnia, Can- ada. middleweight, from the ring is announced here on the authority of the pugilist himself. Ward is now in Toronto. and has sent his final de- cision from that city. He broke train ing several months ago when the idea of giving up the roped square took powerful hold on him. and no amount of argument could induce him to do more than consider the matter fur ther before he made any definite an- nouncement. His brother, Andy, who Is his manager. was compelled to call on abruptly the negotiations for western bout that had all but been framed up in detail Mike Ward is one of the eleverest middleweights the central west has produced. and has escaped championship honors several times by only slender mar gin. One of his best fights was with Joe Cans in Detroit.
