upon them very skillfully.
"Glass skates," he said, "beat stoel
ones. They slip along better than steel;
you can gkate on rough Ice better with
them. Another advantage is that they
never need sharpening. Ground sharp
in the beginning, they keep shnrp as
long as thoy last. A third advantage
Is that thoy don't rust, and hence, to
prevent pust, It isn't necessary to rub
them dry with a chamois every time
you take them off.
"They are very expensive, though.
To make a glass hard enough for skate
runners is an expensive process; hence,
till the process becomes less costly,
glass skates won't be common." Min

Ralph H. Whitney, one of II ou Item's

method In regard to keeping nccouut
of the number of horseshoes he nails
on each year.
For every shoe that he places on a
horse's hoof he gives his wife 1 cent,
and nt the end of the year ho can easi

lowed this method ever since starting
In business, and the amount of money
which his better half has saved Is not
small.
In the year 1003 the number of shoes
-was something like 14,000, and during
the year 1901 the whole number was

JURY IS SUSTAINED
Judge Bellinger Overrules Pleas
in .Abatement.
DEFENDANTS TO BE TRIED
Opinion is Exhaustive and Adverse lo
Mitchell on Every Point
Hcney Elated.
Special to Evening Review.
Portland, April 25. Hon. C. B.
Bellinger, Judge of the United States
District Court, this morning handed
down an opinion overruling the pleas
in abatement entered by U. S. Senator
John E. Mitchell and other defendants
In the Oregon land fraud cases. The
decision is exhaustive, covering 26
pages of type-written matter, and is
adverse to Senator Mitchell ou every
point raised. As a result of this ruling
the defendants must stand trial at an
early date, as the only remaining dila
tory action available is on probable de
murrers, and the court's decision leaves
no apparent ground for such demur
rers being sustained. 1
The court holds that the Federal
grand jury which returned the indict-!
I
mcnts was legally organized, and the
objections to the qualifications of the
grand jurors are found to be without
sustaining force. No defect was fouud
in its organization which would invali-i
date the jury.
Regarding the right of Mr. F. J.,
Heney to act as U. S. District Attorney,
the court rules that the question
could not be raised collaterally, as he
is de facto district attorney. The couit
refused to consider the allegations of '
prejudice of Mr. Heney against Sena-'
tor Mitchell, stating that it was a mere
matter of opinion and eyen ii true

would not suffice to set aside the in
dictments. Neither could Mr. Heney's
Influence with the grand jury be affect
ed by the fact of his residence being In
Oregon or in some other state.
The court holds that the validity of
the proceedings before the grand jury
could not be assailed by a plea in abate
ment, Inasmuch as it is the practice in
the federal court to follow the state
proceedure, and such a plea is not
recognized by the Oregon statutes.
Senator Mitchell, Congressman Wil
liamson and a number of other defend
ants were present to hear the reading
of the court's decision.
. U. S. Dist. Atty. F. J. Heney is much
elated over the decision and says:
"It is a clean sweep, and clears the
decks for the trials in June. There are
still den urrers to lie argued, but that
is a mere matter of form and the de
fendants place no reliance on It. This
decision practically disposes of the at
tempts of the defense to delay the
trials."

.THE HOME GARDEN
If your's is not nn old fushloncd gar
den, have ut least a sinull region some
whero in which you can bow plenty of
the easy growing uununls, such as mar
igolds, china asters, petunias and
phloxes. And, by the way, very hand
some among the newer strains of petu
nias is the "Star" rich crimson, with
a distinct white star In the center.
The Touch Art little.
Most of the flowering shrubs bloom
In the early part of the year, such as
Lilac, Golden Bell, Judas, Deutzla,
Spiraeas and dozens of others. These
plants, If in borders by themselves, are
apt to be dull and uninteresting nt oth
er seasons.
It is astonishing what a difference
a few hardy perennials, judiciously
placed, will mnke. A clump of scarlet
phlox hero or a white one there or the
aristocratic lilies growing In little re
cesses or a bold clump of the tall lark
spur changes the whole effect. Mcehan.
Concerning the Blackberries,
In starting blackberry plants It Is not
amiss to n hsu mo thnt, wtiilo they do
not require really rich soil, it Is well
they should have an average fair,
chance along with other plants. If
plants were mulched last fall, remove
the mulch this spring, cultivate well
and cut out all winter killed canes, bo
as to give the young green shoots a fair
field.

Old, ruu out rhubarb plants may be

Remember the Rosen.
Give a little thought to the roses
not the queenly "florists' roses, but
tbe wild roses and tlrelr hybrids. ' For
the home garden and the busy home
gardener they are a treasure. One' of
the hybrids Ib the Japanese Rosa Hu

graceful flower clusters and so hardy
and sturdy that It nmy even bo used to
from a rose hedge. Then there are
the lovely sweetbrler or Lord Penzance
roses, crosses of the common brier with
garden roses. There nre many varie
ties o? these sweet scented fuvorltes,
ranging from pnle yellow to crimson
and single or Nomldoublc.

Intended to Reform Lieu Land
Law, but Repealed it.
ONE REDEEMING FEATURE
Checks Theft of Government Lands
Settler Conies in For Share
of Hardships.
Washington, April 24. Congress
at the recent session repealed the lieu
land law, but did it so hurriedly as to
make a very bad job. That Is to say,
the object accomplished was good
enough, but the law itself , was so hur
riedly drawn as to leave much to be de
sired by the officers who must enforce
it.
la the first place, congress did not
intend lo repeal the lieu land law ab
solutely, but tho shrewd manipulation
of a few land-law reformers on the last
day of the session brought about that
very result.
The law as it now stands is being
interpreted by the Interior Depart
ment, but the lack of distinctness in
its phraseology is causing considerable
worry.
For instance, there are between 1,
000,000 and 2,000,000 acres of forest re
serve scrip In the market today, scrip
that was Issued before the lieu land
law was repealed. The new law sayB
nothing spool 0c about this scrip, and,
while it will probably be recognized as
good and valid until used, some author
ities allege that this scrip is no longer
of value, since the lands originally
held within forest reserves have been
1 conveyed to the government, and title
! no longer rests in the settlers or rail-
1 road company. The holders of this
jBcrlp cannot recover their original
' lands, and if it should be held that
their scrip is valueless, they will be
out of pocket.
Another feature of the new law is
even more perplexing. It is stipulated
that aftor the passage of that act,
March 3, 1005, no lands within forest
roserves may be exchanged for lands
elsewhere la the public domain. There
are many settlers in tho West, especial
ly those residing in forest reserves,
' who do not know that the lieu land
! law has been repealed. Some of these
landowners, in perfeet good faith, may
seek to make a lieu selection, and, in
accordance with the old custom, may
convey title to tbulr land to the gov
1 ernment before they dUcover that they
do not enjoy the right of lieu solec-
Itlon.
Once title passes to the government,
the settler, under current practice,
cannot recover, and apparently must
lose his land. The law does not stipu
late what Bhall be done In such cases,
and local land offices, not having been
instructed that the llou law has been
repealed, may accept many such re
linquishments. What is to become of those settlers?
If the equities of the case are observed,
they will be allowed to go back and
occupy their original lands, as If they
had not surrendered title to the gov
ernment. Bo long as they do this thoy
will not be disturbed, for no man can
make entry of lands within a forest re-1
serve. But In, .case they want to sell
out, they will be put to hardship, unless
coDgress shall legislate further in this
matter, and authorize the Issuance of
quit-claim deeds to such settlers.
The repeal of the lieu land law put
a check to a' most vicious method of
robbing the government of Its valu
able lands. Congress, or a majority of
the men in congress, were not in favor
ofsucb radical legislation, but there
were several enthusiasts bent on re
forming the land laws, in accordance
with the recommendations of the Pub
lic Land Commission. These men In
the minority, in order to rush through
the repeal of the lieu law,, had to lot it
go through In somewhat crude shape.
Perhaps, since they have accom
plished their main purpose, they will
be able to shape up their law Id the
next congress. Modification and ex
planation will be recommended by the
Interior Department, at any rate.
