hrigatlonsts May Clash
Ouer RooseueH's Policies
Forester Pinchot May Defend and Ballnger
Attack Stand of the Ex-President

SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. S.-A war of
words. in prospect between clifford
Pinchot, United States forester. on the
one side, and Richard A. BaIlinger.
secretary of the interior on the other.
over the forestry policies of Theodore
Roosevelt. was the all absorbing topic
about the hotel Hobbies tonight.
on the eve of opening the national
irrigation congress.
The feeling was expressed thar, If
the question of forest reservation was
brought up, Pinchot Will defend the
Roosevelt policy OF taking forest
lands away from the possibility OF
public entry. and that II he did this
Balllnger would Immediately defend
his policy Of demanding that much of
the lands thus closed be thrown open.
There is much feeling over the mat
ter, and the prospect of a clash be-
tween Roosevelt's policies and the
alleged determination of BalIinger to
cross them has brought discussion to
fever heat. There has also been criti-
cism expressed OF the action by Bal
linger in refusing further to permit
settlers on arid lands to apply the
value OF their labor on irrigation
projects under way. This policy was
inaugurated by Roosevelt in aid of
settlers. and II is urged that the re-
fusal TO continue the policy works a
hardship on many settlers, who have
no other means of realizing the fruits
OF irrigation, for which they have
waited. in some cases, for several
years.
II is expected that Ballinger will ex-
press himself on this point.
The new constitution for the con-
gress is the result of a friendly war
fare between the executive heads and
the board Of control for active man
agement. At this time businesslfke
management is impossible. according to
several officers who expressed them
selves today. because there is nothing
in the present constitution empowering
them to act with the desired latitude
between sessions. Thus II becomes
necessary for the board of control to
take such steps as are necessary to
follow out the measures adopted by
each congress. The new constitution
will enable the executive heads TO work
throughout the year without hindrance
caused by insufficient legal powers.
San Francisco. FL Paso, Chicago, st,
Louis, Pueblo. Cello. and Rochester N.

race for the next convention. 1t is said

Wilson Firm on Water Rights
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

iOoCCfdi lfSp0tCn 10 ne 0dttI
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, who left today FOR
a trip west. does not give any heed
to the efforts of the so called water
power trust to bring about a relaxa-
tion of the requirements imposed by
the forestry bureau. IT has been freely
alleged that-a great syndicate was
seeking to gobble up all the water
power resources of the country. Sec
retary Wilson believes that "a 1ew
millionaires would grab up everything
if they could" but he feels no concern
for the reason that he does not be-
lieve they have any chance of sue
cess. He regards the policies estab-
lished' by President Roosevelt as to
leasing and taxing provisions as now
the irrevocable policy of the govern
ment.
Asked about the situation in Cali
fornia. where the MISUNDERSTANDING
ton interests have presented the most
formidable opposition that the Roose-
welt forestry policies have encountered
the secretary was positive there would
be no yielding on the part of the gov
ernment.
The water rights there which are
inside the federal reservation, belong
to the state of California, but as the
federal government owns the land
there can be no access to the water
power sites without the !. permission
of the federal government Under the
policies established by the Roosevelt
administration the forestry bureau has
been refused to give the water power
interests any rights of way in per-
petuity, and, furthermore, has insisted
that the company should pay the gov
ernment for the privilege. The COM
pany says it can not feel justified in
investing its. capital If it can not be
given perpetual7right of way instead
of the leasehold the forestry bureau
offers, and also contends that the tax
exacted is unfair

tration. The employees say they are
decidedly opposed to arbitration and

Says Japan Acts Unfairly

VICTORIA, B. c.. Aug. S.-Passen-
gers arriving on the steamship Mont
eagle from the orient today in dis
cussing the situation between Japan
and China say that conditions at Chein-
tae. on the Korean border. are more
likely to cause serious trouble between
the two nations than the dispute over
the Antung- Mukden railway.
In discussing the dispute over the
Antung- -Mukden railway T. H. Gill. a
prominent merchant at Kobe said that
many believe that Japan is acting un-
justly in the matter. as the treaty with
China provided that the improvements
be made within two years of the date
OF the treaty, the time limit having
now expired. Gill says that in discuss
ing the treaty the Japanese papers al
ways omit reference to this clause in
the pact.
When the Monteagle sailed reports
had been received that the Chinese had
massed 5000 soldiers at Cheintae and
collisions between them and the Jana
nese police were frequent.
Seoul dispatches received before sail
ing state that following the arrests of
party of Koreans by the Japanese az
Cheintae the Chinese troops attacked
the Japanese and rescued the prison
ers. several of the Japanese being
wounded.
boycott has been declared against
the Japanese by the Chinese and Ko-
reans of the district.

CHINESE OPPOSITION
TOIRON HORS[FAD
Minister at Tokyo Believed to
Have Withdrawn Objections
to Antung- g-Mukden Line

TOKYO, Aug. 9.-It is believed that
the Chinese minister TO Japan has re-
ceived instructions from Pel1ing in
which the objections of the Chinese
government to the reconstruction of
the Antung- Mukden railroad and It's
conversion into a standard gauge line
are completely withdrawn.
The Japanese government believes
that the Chinese authorities are fully
aware of the gravity of the conse-
quences that would follow forcible re-
sistance to the Japanese plans.
There is no sign of any disturbance
anywhere along the line of the Antung-
Mukden railroad, reconstruction of
which was begun by the japanese gov
ernment yesterday.
1t is believed that Japans action in
beginning the work at this time is
taken in full confidence that China will
not have recourse to anything ap-
preaching warlike measures.

porting the government 1t is signifi-
cant that some papers, not usually
