Woodruff Tells of His Big
Adirondack Estate.
STATE COULDN'T BUY LAND.
Durant, the Former Owner, He Sayi,
Wouldn't Sail Until New York Re
publican Chairman Decided to
Pay $12 an Acre.
Albany, Aug. 30. Timothy L. Wood
ruff, chairman of tho Republican stnto
committee, was niiparcntly not pleased
by several of the questions put to him
When ho appeared beforo the Hughes
commission to testify, nt his own re
quest, concerning his 1,000 acre Kamp
Kill Kare tract in tho Adlroudaeks.
This is the parcel he bought for $12
nn acre when he was lieutenant gov
ernor and president, In behalf of tho
stnte, of the forest preserve board.
He said In answer to an Inquiry that
the state land purchasing bonrd, when
lie wns a member as lieutenant gov
ernor, paid $1,500 In 1001 to Welling
ton Kcnwell for the latter's Interest
and household effects In a twenty room
boarding house on state land eleven
miles from Kamp Kill Knre. After
ward the building wns burned by his
order, Woodruff said. He denied his
private fishing preserve, Lake Korn,
was stocked with llsh at the state's ex
pense, lie said he had built a boat
house on state land, but destroyed It
when his canoes were stolen. He de
nied his son and n party of college stu
dents made the Kenwell house their
summer headquarters.
Woodruff said ho and his family and
friends stayed one night In the Ken
well house after the state had paid
Kenwell to vncnte. Under further
questioning ho said the Kenwell house
had been used by a stnte protector and
bis family, who were practically fed
from the Woodruff camp, but Wood
ruff Insisted he did not know twenty
beds had been left In the house.
Woodruff said, too, a telephone lino
had been built from the Kenwell
House to Kamp Kill Knre at public
expense. He asserted the country in
that vicinity covered the head waters
of Moose river and wns a breeding and
feeding grounds for deer and just the
place to estnbllsh a protector to guard
against forest flres as well because
within an area of twenty-five square
miles of practically virgin forest no
persons were established except in
four or five scattered camps.
As to the Kamp Kill Kare parcel,
Woodruff said the state wanted that
thousand acre tract along with the
rest of Durnnt's Itacquette lake hold
ings, but Durant wouldn't sell the
thousand acre parcel for the reason he
wished to reserve it to protect the val
ue of the Durant tracts on Lake Sum
ner (now Lake Kora) and on Lake
Shcdd (now Lnke Sagamore). The last
named lake since hns passed into the
possession of Alfred G. Vanderbilt. It
was only nfter Durant nnd tho latter
man's concern, the Forest Park and
Land company, had refused to sell the
thousand acre tract to the state, so
"Woodruff averred, that he stepped to
the front nnd acquired it for his own
private purposes. He paid $12 an acre
for the choice bit of wilderness and
lake, ho said, as against $7 an acre
paid by the forest preserve board for
the almost 21,000 ncre tract of Durant
holdings on Kncquettc lake.
Woodruff said Governor Black ap
proved tho 21,000 acre purchase by
Woodruff and his associates for the
state. An expert, AVoodruff alleged,
had npprulsed the tract at $47,000, and
it is now valued at $1,000,000. He de
nied tho state ever had a chance to get
the 24,000 acres for $127,000.
After hearing Woodruff tho commis
sioners nnnounccd they had concluded
tho taking of oral testimony nnd that
they would submit their report to
Governor Hughes some time next
month.

Hopes For Majority.
Washington, Aug. 30. "For the first
timo in several years the Democrats
have substantial basis for hoping to
elect n majority of tho houso of repre
sentatives," said Representative Lloyd
of Missouri, chairman of tho Demo
cratic congressional committee,
Mr. Lloyd explained ho wns not in
the business of harvesting rainbows,
"I do not expect to seo any political
tidal wave no 2 to 1 or 8 to 1 victory,"
snld tho man from Missouri, "but a
substantial working majority. My re
ports nre surprisingly pleasing. Thero
nro sections of tho United States whero
Republicans are showing more inter
est and concern for Democratic suc
cess than tho Democrats aro apparent
ly. Insurgents appear to prefer Dem
ocrnta in congress rather than stand
patters and the stand patters are re
ciprocating In kind. Between, tho two
forces at war In tho Republican party
tho Democrats must gain something.
The whole Republican organization has
been weakened by tho fight Tho Re
publicans have been divided and In

much so ns at present"

TALKS OF INCREASED VALUES.
8ays Mountain Tracts Which Cost Av
erage of $4.42 an Aore Are Now
Worth From $20 to $25 an
Acre Today.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 30. When
Speaker James W. Wadsworth, Jr.,
appeared before Commissioners Austin
and Clnrk, who wcro appointed by
Governor Hughes to inqulro Into tho
Btnto's Adirondack laud dealings, ho
declared that slnco tho stnte begnu
purchasing lands in 1807 850,000 ncres
had been secured for $3,702,000, or nn
average of $4.42 an ncre.
"No person enn sny," declared
Speaker Wadsworth, "that tho state
has been extravagant In its Adiron
dack land purchnses, which nre now
worth from $20 to $25 nn ncre."
Speaker Wadsworth has been presi
dent of the stnto land purchasing
board since Hughes hns been governor.
It appeared from tho questions
asked during this Inquiry by Commis
sioners Austin nnd Clnrk thnt tho
state's purchaso In 1007 of 42,000
acres of Adirondack land, Including
tho PIcknrdt lands of 32,000 ncres, was
questionable. The commissioners in
sist thnt while the state paid $7.25 an
acre for this land It could have been
purchased several years earlier for
less than half that prlco and thnt tho
people who sold this lnnd to the stato
had paid $3.00 an ncro for tho PIck
nrdt Innds nnd less thnn that for the
remainder of tho 42,000 ncres.
Mr. Wndsworth called nttentlon to
the fact that those who sold theso
lands to the state hnd purchased them
several years previously and that Ad-
JAMES W. WADSWORTH. JR.
lrondnck lands hnd increased in value
each year. He declared If previous
state officials had been offered the
lands cheaper they were negligent In
not buying them. In his opinion these
lands were now worth $10 an ncre,
Spenker Wndsworth said ho had fa
vored purchasing theso lauds on the
representations of tho late Colonel
Fox, tho state superintendent of for
ests, whom ho considered the best
posted man on Adirondack lands. In
view of the fnct that tho purchase of
the Plckhardt lands hnd been critl
clsed, and in order to learn If he had
been misinformed' regarding their
value, Speaker Wndsworth snld, ho
made n ppeclal trip into the woods a
week ago and traveled over the prop
erty for two days. He climbed the
peaks and hills nnd ho traversed tho
lowlnnds, nnd ho Insisted that the
property wns much more valuable and
much better timbered than ho had nny
Idea of when ho voted to purchase it
He insisted tho Plckhardt property
wns much more valuable than tho
Fisher tract of 40,000 acres south of
Beaver river, for which a higher prlco
Is asked. Speaker Wndsworth made it
plain that he, and not Senator Allds,
hnd suggested purchasing tho Pick
hardt lands outside of tho park'boun
dnrles, because theso lands ndjolned
n solid block Just within the park, nnd
thnt Governor Hughes not only np
proved legislation accomplishing this
purpose beforo It was Introduced, but
signed tho bill.
Another subject of criticism wob tho
appointment of Frank L. Bell by the
stato lnnd purchnslng bonrd as nn ex
pert on Adirondack tax titles at n sal
ary of $7,500. Speaker Wadsworth
said that Mr. Bell had been appointed
nfter consultation with Mr. John G.
Agnr of the Association For tho Pres
ervation of tho AdlrondnckB nnd Gov
ernor Hughes, nnd that Governor
nughes had suid tho salary was none
too much. Mr. Wndsworth stated that
Governor Hughes and Mr. Agnr each
knew that Mr. Bell had been employed
privately by Adirondack lumber and
pulp interests, nnd that Mr. Bell's serv
ices had been of tremendous vnlue to
the stnto purchasing board.
Stato Chairman Timothy I Wood
ruff will probably appear before tho
commissioners today to explain how
he acquired his Adirondack estate.
