PRESIDENT TAFT ONLY CAN
SAVE THE HEAD OF DR..
HARVEY W. WILEY.
ILLEGAL CONTRACT ALLEGED
The Real Cause for "Permission" TO
Resign" Is Application of Food and
Drugs Act According to Those in
Position to Know.
(By Associated Presso

Washington, July 13.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bu-
reau of the department of agriculture.
has been condemned by the commit
tee on the personnel of the department
with recommendation to President
Taft that he be permitted to resign.
The committee charges that Wiley
permitted an arrangement with DR..
H. H. Busby, pharmacognosist of the
Columbia University for compensa-
tion in excess of that allowed by law.
The recommendation that Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, the governments
pure food expert, be permitted to re-
sign his office ''for the good of the
SERVICE" forwarded by Secretary Will
son, the doctors superior, lies upon
the desk of President Taft While
within the competency of the Secre-
tary to require the doctor to resign,
he preferred to lay the facts before
the President and let the decision rest
with him.
The same document carries with it
recommendation that L. F. Kebler,
chief of the division of drugs, part of
the Bureau of Chemistry, of which
DR.. Wiley is the head, be reduced in
the service, and that H. H. Rusby of
New York, an expert pharmacologist,
be dismissed.
These recommendations were made
by th. personnel board of depart
men' c1nposed of Assistant Secre-
/ tary iInFs, George p. McCabe the
solicitor for the department, and c G.
CLARK, The chtcf clerk. They make il
because pr Wiley and Mr. FIeber
without consulting Secretary Wilson
or taking the advice OF the law Off
Ger of the department., gave. Rusby an
appointment at $1,000 year, ostensi
bly, to do work in the division of drugs
but as a matter of fact on a contract
whereby he was to receive pay at the
rate of $40 a day for ordinary work
and $50 day when, as an expert, he
had to appear in court.
They limited his days of employ
ment so that the arrangement made a
total disbursement to him of not more
than 1900 a year. The law abso
lutely forbids anything of the kind
and it is question whether it is not
a penal offense.
The Last Straw.
The illegal contract with Rusby is
merely the straw that broke the cam

LOCATING ON
PATENTED LAND

Many people seem to labor under the
impression that locations can be made
upon patented and decided land should a
/ discovery of mineral or oil be made upon
the Same by outside parties. Such is not
the case, however, and any person en-
tering upon private property with any
such intention is nothing more than a
trespasser.
Our attention has been called to this
matter through the violations of law re-
Gently enacted in North Salt Lake, and
i'll Morgan county, Utah.
In the first case, what was purported
to be an oil discovery resulted in claims
being staked all over patented and deed
ed property, regardless of ownership
and the rights of landed proprietors.
The second case TRANSFERRED i'll Morgan
county, where ore was encountered in
digging well on tract of farming
land. When this discovery was made To-
Gators got busy and the whole adjacent
country is staked, and we understand
that preparations are being made to
begin work in the way of mine develop
ment.
When a deed or patent is issued to
land, whether mining or agricultural i'll
character, the owner is entitled to every
thing halfway down to China. The
mining laws are very clear on this point,
and specifically state that all lands open
to location must be public land. In
chapter 8, section 23l9, Revised Statutes,
the statement is made: "All valuable
deposits in lands belonging to the Uni
ted States, both surveyed and unsur-
veyed, are hereby declared to be free
and open to exploration and purchase by
citizens of the United States and those
who have declared their intention to
become such, under regulations pre-
scribed by law, and according to the
legal customs or rules of mines in the
several mining districts, so far as the
same are applicable and not inconsistent
with the laws of the United States.
Land that has been patented. or prop
erly decided, is not public land neither
does it belong to the United States. 1t
is just as much private property as a city
block, and anyone attempting to locate
on the same is as much trespasser as
if he should endeavor to lay claim to the
city and county buildings, on the plea
that he has found placer gold i'll the
gravel in digging a hole during tree
planting Mining Review.

COTTONWOOD
HAS REAL VALUE

Tohn Gulling and N. r. Fitzpatrick
made the trip to the Towle ranch, near
Fort Churchill, last week i'll the Gulling
automobile, and upon their return Sun
day evening they brought word of a new
industry that has sprung up i'll the up
per end of the valley that promises to
develop into a paying commercial prop
osition
DR.. A. II. Heppner, who owns the
George Ernst Ranch on Old river, has
lately installed sawinll and wood
working plant on the Towle ranch, the
timber of which is under contract to the
doctor and fifteen men are now en-
ployed in the operations that are active
" under way. The plant has a capacity
of 10000 feet of rough lumber per day,
in addition to being fitted for turning
out daily 10, 900 broom handles. What
is commonly called cottonwood but is
not cottonwood, so AYERS the doctor,
enters solely into the plants product,
and the samples brought back by
Messrs Fitzpatrick and Gulling prove
at once that DR.. Heppner is not work
ing upon mere fancy but upon a scheme
that should return him handsome divi-
dends Samples of finishing wood,
stained and highly polished, manufac-
tured from the Towle timber, were
brought back, proving at first sight that
the timber in this valley certainly has
value The peculiar thing about the
wood is that it takes a polish very
similar to mahogany and can be told
from the more expensive tropical wood,
even upon close investigation, only by
weight
Boards 30 inches in width are being
sawed at the Heppner plant, and CON
tracts already i'll effect are keeping the
plant busy turning out broom handles
and excelsior for commercial use. DR.
Heppuer has been working on this
scheme for. d couple Of years and there
are those who believed that he was
working upon n mere fanciful idea that
could never result in anything but abb
sorbing a part of his surplus cash, but
seeing is believing and the demonstra-
tions afforded by his product are suffic-
lent to convince the most skeptical that
