Stufilebeam filed a complaint in the United States Court and endeavors to recover. DcLashmutt in answer sets up the facts in the case, and the setting aside of the transfer of the farm in the State Court. iiM(eettet(itt9tfi(ite 4 e i Demonstration .By MSSS PAULINE KEPPLER Of NEW YORK There was a time when the French corset found favor in the eyes of .the American woman of fashion, but that time has gone, aiid American skill has triumphed.

Morse, charged with perjury. The suit of Barney Cody against the United Carriage Company, for $5000 dam ages, was dismissed by Judge Frazer yes terday on motion of plaintiffs attorney. Cody, in hla complaint, alleged that Juno 23, 1S93, he was placed by the defendant on a hotel coach to 'assist ono Fitzgibbon, and one of tho horses called Gray Dan was tricky and half trained, and caused tho team to run away. They collided with an other team, and plaintiff asserted that his foot and ankle were permanently in jured. CRITICISES THE GAME LAWS One Man Who Wnnt "Birds" DarlHgr the Close Season. The Oregonlan is in receipt of a commu nication from an old subscriber, a man who likes good things at his table the year around, criticising the law which prevents dealers from selling game caught or killed in other states during Oregon's close season. He says: "Fish ano- gamedealers and hotel and restaurant men, as well, complain bitter ly of the game laws in force here. It la not so much the law forbidding the shoot ing of game or the catching of trout, etc.. mat they complain of as the fact that they are not allowed to handle any game or trout grilled in another state. This, they say, f? unreasonable and unjust, and In jurious to the dealers in game and fish and also to the cold-storage "business. Every" market man In the city regularly receives price lists of game, trout, eta. from dealers In Chicago. Minneapolis, St Poul and other places, who would supply them with trout, quail, partridges, ducks of all kinds, snipe, plover, etc They, however, cannot handle these articles, and people who desire them and are able and willing to pay for them cannot have them. Just what good end Is served by prevent ing game which Is In cold storage in St. Paul or elsewhere being shipped here. It Is difficult to imagine. It is also difficult to see the justice of a law which forbids fish or game which has been lawfully ac quired In the proper season and placed In cold storage being sold during the close season. The game laws of Oregon as they stand on the books now and as they have been for years are considered by dealers a sad commentary on the Intelligence of the legislators and courts of the state." "With reference to this communication. State Game and. Forestry "Warden Qulm by says that the law does work some injustice from the standpoint of the deal ers and restaurant men, but, looking at the matter from the side of preservation of our wild animals and birds, It does not. Mr. Qulmby states that the laws of nine tenths of the states and also of Canada are similar to Oregon In this particular, and Jf they were not. the game of tho country would be killed off In a very short time, as It Is Impossible, after the animal Is In the market, to tell whether it was killed in this state or Imported. It Is be cause of this great chance of Imposition that the law was enacted. O ft PREPARING TO RESUME WORK Activity at the Xcw Penney ex 3IIIL More "Wliari Room. At the Pennoyer mill a force of men Is actively engaged in preparing tho plant for business. The old round tower which formerly belonged to the City "Waterworks has been razed to the level of the dock, with the aid of giant powder, and piles are being driven for an U-shaped wharf to extend 164 feet further out into the river, where deep-water vessels may load with lumber. A second plledrivcr Is be ing fitted up to work on the land, and this will drive piling to support the new rail road switch 1100 feet long, to connect the mill with the Southern Pacific near the roundhouse, foot of Harrison street. Piles will have to be driven through a bed of old sawdust some 20 feet deep, in order to provide solid support for ties and rails. The ties are to be sawed at the mill, and this will probably be the first work done by tho plant after Its long period of Idle ness. More dock room will be needed by the new regime, and so a tract of land lying west of the mill has been leased from tho railroad company for a period of five years. Plle3 are to be driven In the tract ani stout planking will support the out put of the mill. The old Pennoyer mill, to the north, will probably be converted into a box factory arte! .having been overhauled, and the s boarding-house on Hood street. e the mill. Is to be opened, after ough renovation, papering and tmlnt- ing. Already that portion of Hood street Is taking on new life, in consequence of a revival of an enterprise that will give employment to a large number of men, as well as furnish tenants for every avail able dwelling In the vicinity that Is fit to live- In. By April 1, the smoke will be rolling upward from the huge smokestack of tho new Pennoyer mill. a . Those who wish to practice economy should buy Carter's Little Liver Pills.

Think That Residents of This State "Do Not Appreciate Wealth. of Forests. A party of prominent lumbermen from Ashland, "Wis., registered at th TmmPrtni yesterday. They are C. N. Cramer. D. j D. Kennedy. George H. McCloud, S. H. Hanna, and James AlcCully. Their busl- iness in Oregon is to purchase timber lands, erect sawmills, and ship lumber East by rail, and by the ocean. In con versation yesterday they said the timber supply of the East is within five years of j utter depletion, and so Oregon and "Wash ington must now bo" drawn on. There i3 considerable timber in the South, they said, but It Is scattered and remote. Out here they are finding vast forests of. huge trees, but belts of timber convenient to railroads or water courses are very scarce. Parties intending to turn trees into lumber must therefore prepare to build railroads also. "If wo should-get-tho Nicaragua Canal through," one of the gentlemen said, '"we could land lumber in New York as cheap ly as can be done now from the Great Lakes bordering "WisconslriNmd Michigan, but we cannot ship that far East until this canal Is finished. Railroads cannot be expected to move lumber 'as cheaply as It can be done by water, as such freight Is heavy as well as bulky. "We have no doubt, however, that we can ship to Mississippi River points and that the railroads terminating in Portland will give us the best terms they can." In regard to the present supply of tim ber in Oregon this man thought 25 years would see it become very scarce here, even at the present rate of consumption. In the meantime, timber lands will be come 4 high and timber will advance. "I wonder that you people out here have not realized this before, and taken stena to ( obtain a goodly share of these forests for yourselves," ne said. "That you have not done so, shows that you have failed to realize the changes being made In the timber supply In other portions of the world." The party will make Its head quarters in Portland for several days. POSTAGE STAMP BOOKS. . Department Will Soon Be Ready to Supply Them b "WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.

MIcIiIrrh Mnn' Opinion of Eastern nnd "Wentern Oregon. C. L. Smith, who Is largely Interested in the dairy business at BcmidjI, Mich., has been spending several weeks in Oregon and attending various farmers' institutes throughout the Northwest. At the Im perial, yesterday, he said he thought Or egon was especially adapted to the dairy business, on account of Its mild climate and rich soil. "Back in Michigan, we have to house and feed our cows from October until May," he said. "The hous ing cannot be done in a slipshod manner, either. Shacks will not do for sheds, as out here. "Wo must build good, stout structures to keep out the intense cold, and we must stow our root crops far out of the reach of Jack Frost, as the ground freezes several feet deep, ffhen.

EOc, 60c, S5c and............... $1.00 MEIER A GOOD BEN SELLING, mer. Still, we make dairying pay, although we sell our milk and cream for about one half the price obtained by Oregon dairy men. "In "Western Oregon all that Is needed Is to sow tame grasses broadcast In the clearings, and a good pasture Is assured the year around. Ferns may bother more or less, but. In my opinion, white clover will soon choke the fern out. y Perhaps It would be necessary to mow the ferns down a few times, and this would involve a little work, but we must make up our minds to work If we intend to make, a success of dairying. I find the soil of Ore gon equally as rich as that of Michigan, so root, crops may be raised .without difficulty. Such vegetables as sugar beets and carrots can be grown here by the ton, and they make tine fodder for cows dur ing the "Winter months. "In Eastern Oregon, the conditions are even more favorable for dairying, as the land does no have to be cleared. Grass can be sown on the open prairies and har rowed in, which would be difficult among the stumps of a newly-cleared woods." i o BEAUTIFUL NEEDL70RK. j ' Embroidery "Which a Portland "Wom an Will Send to World's Fair. Hundreds of people visited Miss Oberg's home yesterday to see the linen embroid ered banquet set that she has Just fin ished for the Paris Exposition. And the odd thing about it was that there were almost as many menas women among the visitors. The air was filled with ex clamatlons of surprise and delight over the great beauty of the work. The center piece is U Inches square, of the finest white linen that is made by the loom. It was obtained in Berlin, Germany, whither also Miss Oberg obtained the various grades of linen and cotton thread she used, as these are not manufactured In this country of sufficient fineness to an swer her purpose. No. 5000 was needed for the shadow markings on the faces, a number that most art needle-workers have never even heard of. There are eight raised medallions on this center-piece, the four In the corners con taining pictures of Washington, La Fay ette. Abraham Lincoln, and McKInley, while between these were Dewey, General Miles, Admiral Sampson and the Confed erate General Lee, of U:e Civil War. The corner medallions are seven Inches In di ameter, and the others four Inches. They are marvellously perfect portraits, quite equal, and in many cases superior to the pictures commonly found of these famous heroes. The Intertwining border of grape leaves and fruit clambers over three seven Inch bars, on which sit beautifully formed cupids, with hands outstretched toward butterflies. The whole design Is one of marvelous grace and beauty. The faces were drawn by a Norwegian artist, Oscar Wallzin, who happened to be passing through Portland at the time Miss Oberg was planning her work. All the rest of the design is by Miss Oberg herself. Tho dollies are 12 in number, round In shape, fringed and scalloped, each being nlno Inches In diameter.

The third week of the engagement of the Metropolitan Stock Company players be gan last evening, with the famous old ' "Rip Van Winkle," the title and play so j dearly and indissoluble associated w.th ' Joe Jefferson. A scattering audience was attracted to the performance, and, de spite a lack of spontaneity on the part of the performers, due to first-night obsta cles, there was considerable applause. It is no badge to demerit that the Met ropolitan patrons are easily pleased. That they have appreciated the efforts of the hard-working people at this house Is evi denced In the patronage granted since the opening of "O'Brien, the Contractor."
