TAFTS WESTERN DECISION HELPS TO RECOVER LUND PRICES ARE TO REMAIN THE SAME DETERMINING COURSE OF NEW STATE ROAD TRIP IN OUTLINE FOR SALE President Will Leave August 5 and Visit the Pacific Coast, Alaska and South. WASHINGTON May 10. Presi. dent Taft will leave his Bummer home at Beverly, Mass., Aug. 5, to begin a trip that will bring bun to tbe Pacilic ooast, to Alituka and through the South. It bus been oHtimated by those who are trying to make an itinorury for the President that the trip cunnot be made in less than seven weeks, and it i expected that he will be iibucnt at leant two months. The Huhedulo of slops has not been made but the outline of the trip has been completed. President Taft will make the first important stop pro bably at St. Louis, and it is probable that Kiuihus City will also be visited. That will depend on whether Kansas City or Omaha can bring tbe most convincing arguments. j The President will attend the Trans Mississippi convention at Denver, and then visit Salt Lake City and probably other Utah points, lie will then attend the Alnska-Yukon-l'nci- fie Exposition nt Seattle, and from there go to Alaska. It has not yet been decided what ports ho will visit, but it will he impossible for the Pres ident to go into the interior of the eountry.as nt the season of the year that he will arrive the Alaska winter will have sot in. Returning Mr, Taft will visit the principal cities of Iho Pacific const, from north to south, uud, by taking the southern route east will call at the leading towns uud cities of the Territories of Arizonn mid New Mexi co. He will lake this route, as he has promised to visit practically ovcry Southern State, and to economize time, ho has decided to combine the two trips. Mr. Taft will reach Washington between Oct. 5 and 15. The party accompanying the Pre sident will be small. Mrs Tnl't pro bably will go, and the President has asked John Hays Hammond to ac company him. Mr and Mi's Hammond wore in the box nt the theater recent ly in the president's parly, and Mrs. Hammond spent most of the after noon with Mr. Tall at the White House. ' The day was cold and wet and the President did not attempt the usual afternoon game of golf, as he has a slight sold. While no anuoiini'Clucul has been I Supreme Court Gives Recourse to Persons Losing Land on Which Description Is Insufficient. The supreme court of Oregon re cently rendered a decision which is of very far-reaching importance with regard to sale of land for taxes. Iticbard Martin, Jit., was the owner of a quarter section of timber land in Columbia county. Through some oversight he failed to pay the tuxes for the year 1892 and some subse quent years and the result was that the county of Columbia purchased the property at the tax sales. Later the county sold it under the law of lilOl to J. G. Watts, Martin White and others, who then asked of Mr. Martin a largo bonus in addition to the amount of taxes and costs which they had paid to Columbia county. The result wus that Mr. Martin employed S. H. Qruber as his attor ney to- bring u suit against Watts, White and others who purchased the property from Columbia county to remove the cloud which was cast on his title to the property by the sher iff's deed, which Iho purchasers at the tax sale had acquired and placed on rccard. ' ' , Tn the circuit court Judge Thomas A. Mcliride decided in favor pf Mr. Martin, whereupon the defendants up pealed the case to the supreme court and in the decisioi of the supreme court recently rendered the court says: "The description of the property was insufficient to identify it. It fails to give the township and range in which the hind is situated. This might have been rendered definite if described by the assessment to he situated in Columbia county thoro being but one township 4, range 4, in that county but that is not stat ed. There are in Oregon four town ships numbered 4 in range 4 and the description is insufficient to identify the property involved hero." ' In view of the fact that Iho des criptions of property made by as sessors' throughout the stale have very largely been made in the same manner as in Columbia county, and of the further fact that there have been possibly thousands of such tax ales iiiade, uud Iho purchasers at such lax sales, or their successors in interest claim to own land so acquir ed, the decision of the supreme court finally settling Ihe ninller is of great Seattle Hotel and Restaurant Keep- Rhode Island Building New Boulevard ers Pledge Themselves Not to Raise Prices During Fair made . it is probable that .Miss Helen j importance.

Visi tors at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific ex position, which opens at Seattle on June 1 and cdoses October 10, will bo able to dine to their satisfaction at the city's leuding cafes and res taurants at normal prices. To leave no doubt as to the working out of this commendable spirit on the part ot benttlc s caterers, thoy recently mot mid voted as a body an agree ment binding all restaurant, cafe, grill and hotel men to maintain the present prices throughout the ex position time, and no member of the organization to which the caterers belong will be allowed to take ad vantage of the opportunity to ronp additional profits,, as has been done. despite protests, in previous exposi tion cities. The action was taken after I. A N'adcau, director general of the A. Y. P., hud addressed the assembled res taurant men, showing them how the increased crowds that would follow reasonable charges would not only add to the credit of the city and the success of Ihe exposition, but would menu increase in business. To the hired help must be given much of the credit for the continu ance of low prices. Waiters, cook: and helpers of all kinds have en tered into an agreement that the pics cut scale of wages shall not be tam pered with during the fair. 1 Seattle will .not only have a re markable exposition, but will be able to accommodate the influx of visitors in a way that will be a cause for lasting satisfaction. Hotels are many and reasonable, and with fixing of normal charges at the eating houses, from the most aristocratic to hum ble lunch counters, tourists may have no fear of not finding accommodations.

Similar to Crater Lake Highway ' RIVERHEAD, K. I., May 10. An important meeting is being held in the courthouse heretoday by the state highway commission, which desires to get the views of the county resi dents on the dot in it o location of the proposed state roud to be built through both sides of the county wholly at state expense. This road is known officially as route No. 35. The route as proposed by the commission begins at a point on the dividing line between Nassau and Queens yet to be determined, mak through Ihe northern portion of Nas sau county to the dividing line be tween thnt county and Suffolk-, thence easterly by way of the Jericho turnpike to Smithtown Branch, St. James, Port Jefferson and Wading River, to Riverhead; thence souther ly by way of the state road already built between Riverhead and Quogue, to tho latter village ; thence westerly by way of the South Country road to Putchogue, Shyvillo, Islip, Babylon, Bay Shore and Amityville, to a point nn the dividing line between Nassau and Suffolk counties yet to be de termined; and still thence westerly through the southerly portion of Nas suu county to n point on the dividing line btewcen the counties of Nassau and Queens yet to be dtermined, mak ing a state road all the way around Long Island. It is roughly figured by people here somewhat acquainted with road build ing, that the cost will be between $700,000 and $1,000,000, although it is believed that tho expense will he warranted because of the great pub lic concenVenienco of a limb class road and the way that it will increase the value of adjacent realty.
