THE SEATTLE INTER-
STATE MEETING
BY G. w. Avery

Doubtless the public is aware that
the governors of seven states, viz:
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. have called a meeting to be
held in Seattle June s. s, Z and 8.
Z The object of the meeting is to
devise ways and means to assist the
northwestern states to secure more
effective development and to stem
the tide of emigration to Canada.
Here are some figures that show
clearly the Importance of the meet

been estimated that the state OF

agricultural land not classified as

being added to this figure the
amount of 100000 acres annually

APPROPRIATION CURTAILED.
Crater National Forest Gets So, 600
Less Than Last Year.

The shaving of the national forest
allotments that has come about by
the lack of large enough appropria-
tion by congress last year, has cur
tailed the appropriation of the Crater
national forest $4,000. This year
Supervisor NJ. L. Erickson will have
but $2S,000 to carry on the coming
years work and as a consequence a
great deal of the important work
planned by the local office will have
to be laid aside until another year.
The allotment is divided into three
appropriations. For salaries for the
3S men employed in the service, $12,-
400. Fourteen of these men are re-
tanned the year around for admins
trative work, the remaining "a being
employed only through the fire sea-
son as guards The field and station
allotment is $4,000. The last item
is for timber reconnaissance and the
amount appropriated is $1,000.
The Crater national forest has
since its creation stood entirely alone
in the manner in which it has been
supervised. Thought the forest con-
-taiDs 1,0S0, 500 acres of land and is
one of the heaviest timbered on the
coast, the fire loss in this forest has
been reduced to a minimum, the best
protected against fire of any national
forest in the western division. AL
though there are but "a men provid-
ed for to protect the forest in time of
fire, Supervisor Erickson has ar
ranged for the presence of 81 men.
OF this number "a men will be regu-
lar patrols covering an average of
34,S34 acres constantly.
Though the curtailment of the al
lotment is but $4,000, the work that
will be stopped temporarily will
amount to a great deal, as the great
er part of the appropriation is used
for salaries. Directly this winter the
effect will be felt when the cruising
of the timber which has been carried
on in that season will be stopped for
lack of funds.

INCREASE IN RECEIPTS BIG PARADE PLANNED
Recorder Adds 81 1886. 30 to the An
nual Income of the Water Depart
ment by Thorough Checking.

Several weeks ago, at the sugges-
tion of Recorder Hurt, the council
passed resolution authorizing the
recorder to procure extra help and
proceed with a thorough checking of
the water users of the city. The
work now is practically finished and
the recorder presented his report to
the council last Thursday night.
The report in full follows:
Ashland, Ore, June II, 1912.
To Common Council of the City of
Ashland.
Gentlemen: In the matter of
checking up OF the water users of
the city of Ashland | report:
The residence portion of the town
was checked by George w. Seager
and the business portion of the town
was checked by A. l.. Irwin, the irri-
cation was also checked up by Mr.
Irwin, and We find that we have in
creased the irrigation S91a acres
with irrigation checking not yet
completely, making a gain in irriga-
tion for the year of $716.00. We
also found "A families and business
houses that were not paying any wa
ter rental, making a gain in the
water collections, per year, of
$633.60. We also adjusted the rates
on 1S0 parties that were not paying
the full amount as provided by the
water rate ordinance, making anoth-
er gain in the water collections for
the year of $4,000, which makes a
total gain in all for one year of
$1,6S6.20.
The above figures are based on the
regular monthly collections and do
not include the arrearages that are
due and owing the city for many
years back Tin some instances),
amounting to several hundred dol
lars.
| find that, with the exception of
two instances, the city is not at fault
for not having made the collections
of the great number of people that
we found were not paying water rent,
as the water ordinances are very
plain in this matter and cover very
fully.
Before any water user can use any
city water he must appear at the re-
corder's office, state his case fully
and pay his water rent in advance.
no matter whether the water is
turned on or off on the premises he
proposes to occupy, and it provides
further that any person using city
water and not paying for the same,
such water rentals shall be placed
against the property as a lien, and it
also provides that it is obligatory on
the part of the property owner to pay
water rents where more than one
family or service is using off one tap,
and failure to comply is violation
in the recorders office by
a fine, Imprisonment, or by both fine
and imprisonment. j. G. HURT.

May Affect Maneuvers.

Westinghouse the result of the
presidents veto of the army appro-
priation bill, the 1912 maneuver
camps of the regular army and the
national guard may be prevented.
Drills were ordered in most of the
states to take place before the middle
of July, and preparations have been
made for the encampment of north
western state troops, including Colo
rado, Washington and Idaho, begin
ming July 81 this year.
The bill vetoed by the president
contained an appropriation of ST.
$4,000 to pay in part the expenses
of the encampments. An effort is
being made to induce the president
to forward to congress a special mes
sage urging that the appropriation
for the encampments be authorized
so that it may not be necessary to
postpone them.
Just what effect the presidents ac-
ton will have in other states support
ing national guar1smen, is undecided.
but it is feared all the states will be
prevented from holding annual en-
campmentS during 1912.

APPROPRIATION LOST.
No Road Around Rim of Crater Lake
This Year.

The friends of Crater Lake have
lost their fight for an appropriation
to build roads and make other i'm
provements in Crater Lake National
Park for the present at least.
This news is contained in the fol-
lowing Washington dispatch:
THE house has rejected Congress-
man Hawley's amendment to the
sundry civil bill for $50, 900 for Cra-
ter Lake Park. The amount carried
for the park is $4,000 only"
This means that no money will be
available during the present term of
congress for building the, road
around the rim of Crater Lake or for
other roads projected in the park.
The bill has passed the senate but
the house turned it down. The
$4,000 mentioned in the regular ap-
preparation for the park will barely
cover the running expenses of the
superintendent and no Improvement
can be made this year.
