MAXWELL CREATES COMMENT
Former Secretary f Irrigation Coijrreu
Takti Western People to Task.
SETH BULLOCK TALKS OF FORESTRY
Krlrnit of President ItooneTcIt ar
that Mining Depends to t.reat
Ettent on I'reaerYlnv
tbe Tree.
WASHINGTON, Jati. B. The Importance
of publlu forest lumla to mining- was the
theme of the morning meeting of the con
cluding' iieBHiona of the American Forest
congrepa. A. I... Fellow, consulting en
gineer if the government, dlaouased the
development of water power as related to
forest reserves.
H contended that the foreMt areas should
be reserved by the government and Khonld
not left In the unrelsgated domain of
the InlteU States. '
Dr. Huvld T. lay, t hief of the division of
mineral resources of .the I'nlled Btates
geological survey, conletulcd that It was no
longer neoesmary to give coal, axphalt aud
other mineral lands In government dorritiln
lraetllly free to prospectors and said the
government should apply some such regu
liitloiis to govern the sales and leases of
these, public minerals' a are applied to
the luTids behMiging to'lndiaj.s.
Capt.ilij Soth BuHoi'K, supervisor of the
Uluca; Hills I'orest reserve. , discussed the
(juration.... ''Will tha Administration of the
Forest Reserves on a Conttervative Basis
Retard Mining?"' He said that to. arrive
properly at a solution of this question it
would be necessary, first, to determine to
what extent the mine Is dependent on the
forest, and In discussing the matter.' he
referred chiefly to conditions existing In
the Black Hills Forest reserve, with which
he Is thoroughly familiar. lie then pointed
out how, in the successful prosecution of
the work required to make a mine pro
ductive, and remunerative to Its owners,
the uso of forest timber Is nn absolute
necessity. It could be truly said that a
veritable forest has . been used under
ground in the mines of the Black Hills
during the few yenrs they have been In
operation. In addition to the timber used
underground In precious , metal milling
luige quantities, Captain Bullock said, que
required on the surface In the erection of
ore reduction worksand buildings required
to liouso the machinery necessary in con
ducting the business of the mine
The question of an ninple supply of
water, he wild, is on important one In the
business of mining In' the Black Hills.
Iirge sums of money have been expended
la supplying tho stamp mills or reduction
works with water derived from mountain
streams, the continuous flow of which is
dependent on the preservation nd main
tenance of the forest conditions at their
source.
Maxwell Creates sensation.
T. J. Oiler, superintendent of the Home
stake Mining company, South" Dakota,
made several suggestions as to how forest
reserves help mining. He recommended
that the government "give away for the
taking'' 11 !1 the deud; and down and in

no ceil og
lands. A sensational address was made
by George II. Maxwell, tho executive chair
man of the Irrigation congress, who spoke
as a delegate from California. He scored
congress for its refusal to repeal the timber
and stono act und declared that the house
public lands committee, the western mem
bers of which he alleged "had deliberately
prevented action" on the measure and thus
"allowed ' the stealing to continue, should
be held up to public obloquy and lashed at
the cart's tall with the whip of outraged
national sentiment.'" He took Issue with a
statement In President Roosevelt's address
yesterday by saying that If tho forests were
left to the west they would continue to
bo "skinned," but added: "It is to eastern
sentiment and such men as Theodore Roosc
velt and Grover Cleveland that we have
forest reserves and protection." Continu
ing, Mr. Maxwell said:
"Last year, with 173,000 acres In the
Chippewa Indian reservation, Minnesota,
the stumpage alone was sold, and the gov
ernment realized $15.00 an acre, still own
lug the land. At this rate, tho government
has lust, under its disposal of S.000,000
acres through the timber and stone net
since President Roosevelt's message in De
cember, 1903, referring to its repeal .8,578.0UO,
besides losing control of the land. But
tli majestic timber of Oregon and the far
northwest, where the timber stealing is
now centered, Is worth double that of
Minnesota and in these twp years the gov
eminent lins lost J70,t,w0 or 1,000,000 a
month.
Mr. Maxwell made tho following recom
mendations:
Create Into forest reserve every acre of
forest land moro valuable for timber than
mining or agriculture; puss the bill con
solidating all government forest work In
the Department of Agriculture as recom
mended by the president; repeal tho timber
ana stone act re re r red to by the president
aud thus stop gigantic tlmbej' steals.
Puns the Appalachian bill; plant trees on
the great plains, appropriate as much fnr
forest plant as for forts and navy; and
repeal all tariff upon wood, lumber pulp
tin lorest products.
Major F. A. Fenn, supervisor of the for
est reserves in Idaho and Montana, de-
nounced the destruction of timber in the
vicinity of mining camps by prospectors
and said that unless supplemented by ade
quate protection against (lie economical
use of timber would not' subserve the min
ers' needs.
Gist of the Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions presented
its report this alternoon.
The resolutions as adopted by the con
gress urges on an legislative bodies full pro
tection and preservation of the forests;
adequate legislative protection of forests
from tire and reduction of the burden ot
taxation on lands held for forest reproduc
tion, so as to induce forest conservation;
repeal of the timber and atons act and
enactment of a substitute authorising the
proper federal officer to sell timber growing
on public lands when the sale shall be fur
the public welfare; congressional action
confining exchanges of lands within a
forest reserve or lieu selection to lands r.t
equivalent value or of similar forest growth
condition; Immediate consolidation of all

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. ii. - Winlleld T.
Durbin, retiring governor of 'Indiana, in his
annual message to the legislature today
said concerning political corruption:
The time has come for the application ol
drastic remedial measures to tne plague of
corruption which i. fastening itselt upon
our politics. We have in Indiana advanced
legislation for the protection of the purity
ot the ballot, but tne statistics of political
debauchery i this suite. for ll4. If it wcn
possible to present tncir., wuid be noth
ing short ol ahioiiniiiiia. 1 am informed
by unquestioned autnoriiy that In a single
county in Indiana, casting Id iwi a little
more than ...jou otes, there were In the
last campaign nearly l,"ou voters regularly
listed as purchaseable. und that $15,000,
rained by assessment from candidates and
otherwise, was spi nt :v the contending
political parties In the effort to control the
county.
Instances have come to my attention
during the past few years, In contests for
township trustees, votes have brought (25
and UO each. Our present need is legis
lation framed In the light of a clearer con
ception of the enormity of the offense
involved Iu tho purchase or sale of a vote.
Our present statute is farcical, as It places
no penalty on the vote buyer. 1 believe
consideration should he given to the ad
visability of requiring tho gradual Intro
duction ol voting machima.
If reports current can be credited this
session of the legislature will be called
upon to resist the importunities of the
most corrupt professional lobby that has
visited itself upon any general assembly
in the history of the state. Already the
names of members of the general assembly
are being used and the necessity of largo
sums of money to prevent needed legisla
tion or to pass qustlonable measures is
being urged.
