PRICE OF TIMBER LIMITED
Lafferty Offers Bill to Prevent Gov
ernments Raising IL.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 18.-
Congressman Lefferty introduced
bill to require the sale of unreserved
timber land to individuals at $3.50
an acre. in tracts not exceeding 16O
acres to any one purchaser.
Until two years ago the timber ana
stone act had been construed to re-
auire the sale of timber lands. The
Interior Department in November,
1909, practically repealed this act by
providing timber lands be sold only
at appraised value. The object of the
Lafferty bill is to virtually restore the
timber and stone act. He claims the
act has never been repealed by Con-
gress, and there is no evidence OF
Congress- action as to the Interior De-
partment in abrogating the same by
the issuance of regulations.
Lafferty introduced bill appropri-
atIng $3.50, 900 for a public building at
Astoria. >
Also a bill authorizing homestead
er to offer communication proof after
IA months residence, regardless of In
tentions at time Of entry,

BIG WELL is YET UNCHECKED
WaIIa WaIIa Valley Folk Worry Over
Draining of Reservoir.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, April 1S-
Efforts to check the now famous Kelly
artesian well have all proven in vain,
and owners of other wells in the valley
are becoming alarmed over the possi-
bility of this one huge well draining
the reservoir that supplies the artesian
belt. Casing after casing has been
sunk in vain endeavors to control the
flow of the well, but the water has al
ways washed up around the casing.
and the only result is bigger hole
and more water. 1t Is estimated the
flow now is between 400 and 500 GAL
Ions a minute
Experts from the oil districts may
be summoned to cap the well or the
plan used in oil districts of checking
the flow by the weight of the water
may be used In this case tank 20
or 30 feet high would be built and as
the water would not flow above the
top. the flow would be stopped and
controlled as effectually as If 1t was
cased and capped.
The bore of the well is now nearly
70 inches, and washing larger every
day.

WILL GATHER AT CHAMPOEG
Pioneers to Celebrate Establishment OF
Provisional Government.

sarv of the establishment of the pro-
visional government of Oregon will be
celebrated at Champoeg. Judge ?. II.
DARCY will be president Of the day
and Hon. Charles B. Moores. of Salem,
will deliver the principal address.
Sixey-eight years ago the pioneers OF
the oregon country gathered at Cham
noeg. the little hamlet in the north
western corner of what is now Marion
County, and decided the momentous
isslIe whether the Oregon country was
to be British or American.
The vote was close, so favoring the
British and So the American. r. X.
Matthieu, a French Canadian, and
Peter Lucier cast the deciding ballots
Matthieu Is the sole survivor of that
historic gathering, and he will be pres
ent at the celebration.
The action taken by the gathering al
Champoeg in 1S43 established the first
white mans government west OF the
Rockies. IT was provisional govern
ment, and later resulted in the terri
tory Of Oregon being formed.
The origin of this convention was a
peculiar one, relates the Salem States
man. The pioneers We're bothered
with wolves that destroyed their fiocks
OF cattle, and meetings were called tc
devise ways and means of protection
against this form of loss, for in those
DAYS. cattle were great source OF
wealth to the scattered pioneers
Three such meetings were held anc
were commonly called wolf meet
ings."
The third of these meetings became
the constitutional convention, for th'
pioneers found that some kind of gov
ernment was a necessity, and 1t wa'
decided to take action.
Each year the pioneers gather a
Champoeg to celebrate the occasion II
a grove where speeches are heard
An attempt was made to secure me
mortal building for these occasions ant
a movement to that end was launched
II was successful in securing th'
passage Of an appropriation through

the bill was killed in the senate.
