TILLMAN
INVOLVED
IN OREGON LAND GRAB
SHORT TIME AGO.
Is SENSATION AT NATIONAL CAPT
TAI.-DIsCLosURE Is MADE BY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

No subject has been discussed recent.
ly at the national capital as much a.
President Roosevelt 3 disclosure Of Sen.
ator Tillman's alleged connection with
the Oregon land deal.
Many expressions Of dissatisfaction
are heard because of the manner in
which the president made public the
material gathered by postofice inspect.
ors about Senator Tillman. 1t is point.
ed out by senators that the matter sent
to Senator Hale was not in response TO
the latter's request to the heads Of the
executive department for statement
of the operations Of the secret service,
as the investigation of Senator Till
mans efforts to obtain Oregon lands
was wholly under the postotiice depart.
ment and was prosecuted by the in
spectors of that department.
''Impropriety and 1ndiscretion."
There is no question that Senator
Tillman 3 health is serious. When he
went to Europe last March he was in
a highly nervous state. The trip re-
suited in marked Improvement, but
his friends have noticed that his nerv.
BUSINESS was returning. Some of the
senators who have examined the evil
dence say the offense was one of i'm
propriety and indiscretion, but that no
criminality is involved. 1t was said
that Senator Tillman might have intro
duced his resolution calling upon the
department of justice to begin proceed
ings to compel the sale of the Oregon
lands at $3.50 an acre in accordance with
the original land grant and at the same
time apply for some of the land with.
out making himself the target Of criti.
cism.
How Tillman Explains It.
To many the feature Of the disclosure
most deplored by Tillman 8 colleagues
is the appearance of an effort to hide
the fact that he was an applicant for
nine quarter sections under the terms
of the original grant. In his statement
last February the senator said he had
not bought any western land, nor had
he undertaken to buy any,"
Tho evidence submitted by the presi-
dent shows that prior to this statement
Senator Tillman had made application
for nine quarter sections. Defending
himself against the appearance Of hav.
ing made misleading statement Sena.
tor Tillman tells his friends now that
he should have said on the floor that
he had not contracted" to buy any
land, and that the whole case against
him had been built upon the interpre.
tation placed upon the word "under-
taken.''

The Pacific Northwest Forest and
Conservation association, composed Of

was formally organized in spokane,

F. J. Davies, manager Of the Edward

for Montana, John R. Toole. The leg
islative committee is composed of F. H.
Lamb, J. P. McGoldrick, Clark w.
Thompson and G. w. Millett.
The purpose of the organization 10
to work for laws and appropriations in
the five states which will assist the
lumbermen in preserving standing tim
Der in public and private domains from
destruction by fire.
Resolutions embodving recommends
tions for needed legislation in the several
states were adopted. California needs
were not presented, but this matter
will be taken up later. For Washington
it was recommended that higher salaries
be paid to those engaged in patrol duty
of timber lands, and that an appropri-
alton of $4,000 be made for carrying
on the work of forest conservation dur.
ing the coming year.
For Idaho it wa, recommended that
the state cooperate with private cor
porations and individuals in the con-
servation of standing timber to the ex-
tent of the pro rata share of state tim
Der land.
Montana has no forest preservation
laws, and it was recommended that this
state enact laws similar to those Of
Idaho, with the further provisions en-
bodied in the amendments suggested for
Idaho.
Idaho has no state timber land, and
it was recommend that a direct ap.
preparation be made for forest conser-
walton. No specific amount was named.
The association will meet annually,
its next session being in Spokane in
April, 1909. Speaking of the work,
Secretary Lamb said:
"While an appropriation for $4,000
for forest conservation in Washington
may seem large, it is none too much
when it is considered that the state has
about 100000 acres of standing timber.
What we want the public to realize 10
that for every 1000 feet of timber
burned the owner loses perhaps So or
$3.50, while the community loses from
So to SIP. The meeting took no action
regarding taxation"
