GREAT MONOPOLY BROKEN.
Farmers Are Now Free to Make A.
cohol Under New Law,

Washington, March A. - The dena-
tured alcohol bill, which went to the
president for signature, will have the
effect of breaking the Standard Oil COM
pany's monopoly of this new fuel pro-
duct. Under the provisions of this
bill individual farmers will be permit
ted to manufacture denatured alcohol
for their own needs or for sale and in
large or small quantities. As the orig
inal bill was drawn, denatured alcohol
could only be produced by large distil-
leries, and the Standard had complete
ly monopolized the entire product.
1t was to preserve this monopoly
that Senator Aldrich endeavored to
amend the pending bill, but, to his
surprise, large majority of the sena-
tors turned against him, and his amend
ment was lost. Senator Fulton, who
had received many appeals from Oregon
farmers on behalf of the new bill, Wig
orously attacked the Aldrich amend
ment, as did other senators from the
Northwest, except Ankeny and Hey
burn, who stood with Aldrich and
against the farmers, Hepburn making
q speech in favor of the amendment.
which would have prohibited individ-
iais from manufacturing denatured al
.Ohol.

LABORATORY FOR NORTHWEST,


Washington, March In the near
future the department of Agricultui e
viii locate pure food laboratory in
some Northwestern city and make it
headquarters for the examination OF all
food products imported into that section
from abroad. Investigations are now
being made to determine whether it
shall be located at Portland or Seattle.
Senator Bourne is urging the depart
ment to locate the laboratory in Port
land, but before this can be done Port
land must convince the department
that its food imports exceed those of
Seattle, or else offer adv antages in the
way of quarters that cannot be obtained
at Seattle. The department desires to
locate the laboratory in public build
ing.
1t is of the greatest Importance to
PortlaI to make a creditable showing.
for If the laboratory is located there
rather than at Seattle, it will have a
tendency to increase importations of
food products at that port, where they
can be properly examined, rather than
at other ports where there would neces
sarily be delay.
Mr.. Bourne is looking to the chamber
OF commerce to support him in his
efforts.

| down and out. said J. B Mcdonald
president OF the Panama CONSTRUCTION
company, In discussing the rejection o.
this bid of WI 0llivel for the con
ssruction of the Panama canal They
have taken the matter out of our hands,
and II nos rests with the president.
The response bilify should be placed
where 1T belongs.
II cannot see why our bid should
have been rejected, except that it is due
to the Jar reaching Vaccinations OF the
political influences that have worked
against all bids that threaten actual
construction OF the big canal 1t is
hardly necessary to say that these In
terests are those of the trans-continenfal
railroads.
You viii notice that, one by one,
the practical men who have been iden-
titled with the canal have been picked
off by big financial interests. 1t js not
difficult to trace the relations. This is
very poor business, however, for the
IL bound TO come, If not during
this administration, then during anoth-

Il cannot see where the president
and hts associates are right, and do not
see how they will be able to dig the

have to be dug under the businesslike

IBIG RESERVES
| IN NORTHWEST
President Acts In Advance Of Ne"
Timber Law
On Eve of Signing Bill Which WIN
draws Authority, He Signs FRO
CARNATIONS Rescuing Vast AREAS
from Lumber Syndicates-Large'f
in Northwest.

Washington, March 5.--Prior e
signing the agricultural bill, whlcf
contains Senator FuIton's amendment
. prohibiting the creation OF forest re-
serves in the Northwestern states ex'
cept by the authority OF congress, the
president yesterday issued proclama-
ton creating 32 forest reserves In the
six states affected by the Fulton amend
ment. His proclamstions add 4,05l,-
loco acres to the reserve area OF Oregon.
l4,246, 900 acres in Washington and
$50, 600 acres in Idaho.
The creation of these reserves prob
ably marks the end OF reserve extension
in the Northwest for many years to
come, for the additions now include
most of the desirable timber land OF all
six states, SO far as known to the Forest
service. Being hastily made in order
to circumvent the restrictions of the
Fulton amendment, the reserves are
loosely created and no doubt contain
much land that will be found unsuited
to forestry purposes and which will nj
timately be restored to entry.
The largest reservation in Oregon
was an addition OF 977 1000 acres to the
Blue mountain reserves in Eastern Ore
gon. Other additions in existing re-
serves are: 446, 900 to the Siskiyou in
Southern Oregon, 1000 acres to the
Weneha reserve, 514, 900 acres to the
Cascade reserve, mostly on its western
border, and 154 600 to the Ashland re-
serve in Southwestern Oregon.
To include the timber land Of the
Coast range the president created the
Tillamook reserve, containing 1855, 900
acres; the Coquille reserve, embodying
l40, 900 acres, and the Umpqua reserve.
with an area of S02, 900 acres.
The Wallosa and Chesniminus re-
serves are combined under the name of
lmnaha, and 1888, 1000 acres are added.
In Washington the Washington re-
serve is enlarged by the addition of g.
275, 900 acres, which includes practical
ly all government land between the
present Washington and Rainier re-
serves. This makes one continuous re-
serve along the Cascade mountains from
the Columbia river to the international
boundary. This addition embraces the
Northern Pacific grant, but railroad
lands are not made part of the reserve
and no right of lieu selection accrues.
A new reserve is created to include
'57 900 acres of the ColvilIe Indian
ands; the Priest river reserve is Great |
ID In Stevens county to contain 80, 900 |
'cres; the Olympic reserve is enlarged
oy $4,000 acres, and 73O, 900 acres |
IRE added to the Rainier reserve.
Most Of the forest land in Idaho has
Ilready been reserved. A Palouse re-
erve is created with an area of l 90. 600
ores; the Port Neuf is created with an
rea OF lOO,0 900 acres; the Big Horn is
by the addition of $50 900
ores, and about 100, 900 acres is added
the Weiser reserve.

MUST NOT OWN PROPERTY.


Sacramento, CAL, Mar. 1.-The low
ar house Of the legislature today passed
sweeping anti-Japanese and anti
Chinese measure, introduced by Assem-
blvman Drew, of Fresno The Dill u
lknown as the ''anti-alien property
holding BILL" 1t is aimed at the
Japanese and Chinese property owners
in this state and Ia intended to prevent
them from acquiring and owning prop
ertv for longer period than five years
In urging the passage OF the bill
Drew stated that since January of
this year one-third of the property
transfers in Fresno had been to Japan
ese.
The bill provides that any alien who
does not become citizen OF the United
States shall acquire and hold title to
land in this state for not more than
five years. If within that time the
alien does not become citizen, the
district attorney shall compel the sale
of his land or houses. Japanese and
Chinese are not specifically named, but,
as they cannot become citizens, the
bill is aimed directly at them and pre-
cludes them from owning property for
more than five years. The measure
also provides that no contract, agree
ment or lease OF real estate for a long
er period than one year shall be made
to any alien and any lease, agreement
or devise of real estate made to any
alien for longer period shall be null
and void.
The impression is given out that if
the bill reaches the governor he will
sign it.
