DENIAL MADE BY BALLINGER
BaIIinger Brands Published Charges
as Deliberate Falsifications i'm
His Public Answer.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov 10
Replying to the charges made in a
magazine, Secretary Ballinger today
denied the many reports recently cir
culated regarding the conduct of his
department.
ITO say 1 ever advised or ordered
or lent support to any effort to per-
petrate fraud upon the government"
he said. lis not only false. but inten-
tionally so. if made by anyone who
has taken the trouble to inquire into
the facts"
In explanation of the charges in
connection with the Alaskan coal
lands, he went into the history of the
Presidents withdrawal from entry of
all coal lands of Alaska in 1906,
showing that the order was so modi-
fled by Secretary Garfield as to vail
date all applications made prior to-
May 16, 1907.
Goes Into History.
He then called attention to the fact
that in the annual report of 1907, as
Commissioner General of the land
office, he recommended action by con-
gress to prevent any formation of a
combination or trust by claimants Of
the coal lands, and adds:
THE antitrust cause OF the Alas
ka Coal Act, passed May 2S, 1908.
was not submitted by Clifford Pinchot.
but by Representative Parson, of
New York, and was favorably con-
sidered and endorsed by the secretary
in his report to congress"
Ballinger then states no Alaska coal
lands have been patented, and inves.
tigation of all such claims has been
vigorously prosecuted. Ballinger de-
nounced as "a plain, ordinary falsi-
fication," the report that he was in
terested in the Alaska Petroleum &
Coal com any.

COUNTY GAME BIRDS
UNDER A new LAW
Phcasants, Partridges and Quail Pro-
tected Until 1912-MOncy for
InfOrmerS.

There is new game law in force
in Washington. 1t went into effect
on Friday. Its general provisions
have already been printed in the Her
aid. Under it partridge, any variety
of quail, Chinese ring-neck golden or
English pheasant are protected until
the first day of October 1919. Prairie
chickens are protected until the first
day of September, 1912. Another Sec
ton of the law says that every person
other than a regular salaried game
warden or peace officer entering a
complaint that any Of the provisions
Of the act are violated and a convic-
ton is secured thereon, shall be en-
titled to one half the fine imposed and
collected by the court in such action
provided that the sum to the informer
shall not exceed $25.
County Auditor Crocker has had
the text of the game law printed for
general distribution.

The Grimes Golden from the Saw

from the Hill orchard occupy cores
ponding positions on each side of the
aisle or passageway and each sets the
other off. In the packing of the Hill
fruit no provision was made for cot
ton between the fruit and the box
cover and as a consequence some of
the apples bear marks from the box
covers. These are very slight,
causing no injury, and cannot be bar
red by the rules asking for a CONNER
cial pack. Just what wa ythe judges
will look at It is impossible to say.
