Places tho Blame.
1.-The person upon whose statement
the existence of what has been proper
ly characterized as an amazing post
script is based, Is writer for newspa-
pers and magazines, who was given
permission by Secretary Fisher, after
consulting with me, TO examine all the
files in respect to the Controller Bay
matter-and this under the supervision
Of Mr.. Brown, then private secretary
Of the secretary Of the interior.
After the examination, at which 1t
is alleged this postscript was re-
ceived from the hand of Mr.. Brown,
the correspondent prepared an elab-
crate article on the subject of
this order and Controller Bay,
which was submitted to Mr.. Fisher,
and which was discussed with Mr..
Fisher at length, but never in the con-
versation between them or in the arti-
Gle submitted did the correspondent
mention the existence of the post
script. Mr.. Brown states that there
was no such postscrip, in the papers
when he showed them to the CORE
spondent and that he never saw such
postscript. Similar evidence is
given by Mr.. Carr and other custodians
of the records in the interior depart
ment.
Stronger evidence of the falsity and
maliciously slanderous character of the
alleged postscript could not be had.
It's only significance is the light 1t
throws on the bitterness and venom of
some of those who take active part in
every discussion of-Alaskan issues.

Washington.-Presid Taft sent
that recalled some Of those received
from his predecessor. 1t was In re-
ply to a resolution of the senate re-
questing the president to transmit to
the senate all the documents relating
to the elimination from the Chugach
national forest, in Alaska, Of land
fronting upon Controller bay. Mr..
Taft seizes the occasion occasion to
make vigorous defense Of his own
honor and that of his brother, Charles
p. Taft, against the attacks made In
relation to this Controller bay scan
dal."
The president sent in all the docu-
ments asked for, and more, and
quotes the executive order in ques-
ton, by which 1880 acres were
eliminated from the national forest
His message describes the import
ance of Controller bay as a railway
terminal and relates the operations Of
the Copper River railroad, owned by
the Morgan-Guggenheim interests,
whose terminal is at Cordova.
Ryan's Application Investigated.
In December, 1903, Richard 8.
Ryan applied for the Controller bay
elimination, afterward granted, stat
ing that he represented the Controller
Railroad and Navigation company.
Mr. Talt tells how this application was
referred to the district foresters at
Portland, Ore. and in Alaska and
was approved by Chief Forester

Graves; how the navy department
stated 1t did not desire to use Con-
troller bay as a reservation; how the
matter was considered fully by the
forestry bureau, the secretary of ag-
riculture, the secretary Of the inter
for, the general land office and the
cabinet. AS a result, after an inter
view between the president and Mr..
Ryan, an order was drafted eliminat-
ing 800 acres.
Meanwhile Mr.. Ryan had satisfied
the president and other officials that
he and his associates had no connec-
ton with the Morgan-Guggenheim in.
terests and were engaged in an in
dependent enterprise in good faith to
build an independent railroad. The
question again came before the cab
met, and the president, with the ap-
proval of the secretaries of the in
terror and agriculture, changed the
order SO that it eliminated 1880
acres, with sufficient room for
railroad town. The message says:
II was willing to do this because /
found the restrictions in the law suf-
nclent 10 prevent tne possibility OF
any monopoly of either the uplands
or the harbor or channel by the Con-
troller Railroad and Navigation COM
pany or any other person or con-
cern." These restrictions the presi-
dent sets forth at length, and shows
that the Ryan company has not the
slightest opportunity for exclusive
appropriation Of the harbor facilities
unless congress shall by future act
deliberately and voluntarily confer it..

Traction Values Are Raised.

Records for increasing tax valua-
tions were broken by the state tax
commission when it passed upon
four of the largest traction COM
panies in the state. Since the ap-
praisement of railway corporations
began few weeks ago the commits
sion's average increases have been
300 per cent, but the traction valua-
tions are far beyond that percentage.
Following are the tentative valua-
tions made: Toledo Railway &
Light Co., s2,O24,9OO to $11,2S2, 900;
Cincinnati Traction Co., $2,SSS,OOO to
$15,000,O00; Ohio Electric Co., $780,
375 to S15,OO0,000; Ohio Traction Co.,
$241, ,S96 to 100000.
Roads Complain.
Representative of each of the rail-
roads before the hearing protested
against the increases. Barton Smith,
general counsel for the Toledo COM
pany, said the increase would mean
100000 additional taxes or one-third
of the company's earnings.
Dana Stevens, president of the Ohio
Electric Railway Co., said that his
company leases all but one of its
lines and that it could not bear the
increased valuation, as it had spent
more than s4,OO0,OOO in five years for
improvements.
