IMPORTANT LAND RULING When Land Is Xon-Minernl Even Though It Contains Minerals. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 12. In a recent contest aris ing in the State of Washington, the Sec retary of tho Interior holds that when the field notes and surveyor's returns make no notation whatever of minerals in pub lic lands that have been surveyed, such lands are considered and treated as given a nonmineral classification by the sur veyor. Further, that lands classified as nonmineral at the time of the Government survey are of the class of lands subject to selection In lieu of lands relinquished within forest reserves, and the character of tho lands so classified and selected will not be investigated on a protest presented after tho survey and selection, and alleg ing the present mineral character of the lands. The importance of this decision is man ifest. In tho case at issue the Northern Pacific Railway Company relinquished a tract in the Rainier Forest Reserve and selected in lieu thereof a tract of equal area in Montana. One year after the fil ing of this lieu selection a coal declar atory statement was offered by an Indi vidual for the tract selected, and" was re jected because of the prior selection by the railroad company. Investigation of the records disclosed the fact that while adjoining lands had been reported by tho surveyors as containing coal deposits, no such reference was made to tho tract in controversy. Therefore, the Secretary held the land to be classified as nonmin eral. The man filing the coal declaratory statement wont so far as to allege that the land he sought would produce coal In commercial quantities. His allegations, however, were overruled, as the prior se lection by the railroad company could not be affected by a filing made one year later. Hence tho lieu selection was ap proved, notwithstanding the apparent mineral character of the lands. Had the lands been originally classified as coal lands, tho railroad selection would have been rejected. OREGON MAN HONORED. Traveling Men Elect John S. Beall Third Vice-President. INDIANAPOLIS.

PORTO RICO AS A MARKET United State Sends 91,000,000 In Merchandise to Island Monthly. WASHINGTON. June 12. Porto Rico is furnishing a market of $1,000,000 a month to the producers and merchants of the United States, and supplying nearly 51,000, 000 worth each month of tropical prod ucts required by the United States. The total shipments of domestic merchandise from the United States to Porto Rico in the ten months ending with April were $9,844,318. and of foreign merchandise I21S, 276, making the total value of merchan dise sent to Porto Rico from the United States $10,052,594. The total shipments of domestic merchandise from Porto Rico r tha TT!trt ;totae in inn ton mnntKs ) ending with April. 1903, was $8,744,427. and J of foreign merchandise ?S9.037, making the total shipments from that island to the United States In the ten months ending with April $,833,454. In the month of April the shipments from the United States to Porto Rico were $931,526. and from Porto Rico to the United States $1,919,023. These figures indicate that the shipments from the United States to Porto Rico during the fiscal year which ends with the present month will aggregate about $12,0001000, and those from Porto Rico to the United States nearly an equal eura. These figures of commerce between Porto Rico and the United States are. in marked contrast with those of earlier years, in the fiscal year 1S9S. which im mediately preceded the transfer of Porto Rico to the United States, the exports from the United States to that island were $L505,94C. In the next year they were $2.6S5,S48: in 1900. $4,640,449; in 1901, $6,965, 40S; In 1902, $10,8S2,C53, and, as already In dicated, in the year 1903 will be about $12. 000,000. Thus the total shipments from the United States to Porto Rico for 1903 will be eight times as great as those of 1898, and six times as great as those of 1397. On the other hand, shipments from Porto Rico to the United States have grown from $2,414,355 In 1893 to $3,378,706 in 1902, and probably nearly or qulto $12,000,000 in 1903. or about five times as much In 1903 as In 1S9S. The following table shows the principal articles shipped from the United States to Porto Rico in the ten months ending with April SO. 1903, and in the principal articles shipped from Porto Rico to the United States In the same time: Cotton manufactures (mostly cloth) $1.765.0S4 Rice 1,640.118 Iron and steel manufactures 1,255,829 Provisions 1,204.565 Breadstufts (mostly flour) 969.221 Wood and manufactures 459.710 Leather and manufactures 257,036 Vegetables 158.690 Spirits, wines and liquors 155,136 Coal 153.S45 Cars, carriages, etc 127,227 Tobacco and manufactures 119,379 Oils, chiefly mineral 115.S35 Chemicals, drugs, etc 111,862 Paper and manufactures 95,053 Wool manufactures 70,255 Books, maps, engravings, etc.... 69,758 Articles shipped from Porto Rico Into the United States: Sugar and confectionery $5,969,997 Tobacco and manufactures 1,691,269 Coffee 704,378 Fruits and nuts 274,814 DAILY CITY STATISTICS.

SUES Trvo Curly-Headed Darlings May In volve Co arts of Two States ia Conflict for Cnstody. Miss Nellie Wlersum. representing by power of attorney her brother, Henry Wlersum, of Milwaukee, Wis., was before Judge Sears yesterday seeking to obtain possession of her brother's children, Edith and Olive, aged 9 and 7 years, . respective ly. v The little girls, with golden curls, neat ly attired and snowing every evidence of good care, sat In the courtroom beside their mother, Wlnnlfred Leppere, and their step-father, C A. Leppere, an oper ator employed by the Western Union Tele graph Company. The proceeding Is one of habeas corpus, based on a decree of the Circuit Court at Milwaukee on No vember 28, 1602, granting the absolute custody of the children to the father. The mother had obtained a divorce in March previous and was awarded the legal cus tody of Edith and Olive. This decree was afterward amended toallow Wlersum to see his children, and subsequently he suc ceeded in having the decree modified al together in his favor. Nellie Wlersum, the petitioner, testified regarding the power of attorney ehe ob tained from her brother before leaving Wisconsin, and the fact of his residence In that state. The counsel agreed to ad mit the facts contained lri her petition asking for the children, and to rely upon the legal questions in tho cape for a de cision. Mrs. Leppere testified that ube was di vorced from Henry Wlersum on the ground of cruel treatment and failure to provide, and came here immediately after her marriage to Leppere in August, 1902. She received $12 per month rent from a house in Milwaukee, and her husband earned about $135 a month. They owned a home at Montavllla. This evidence wag Introduced to show the ability of Mr. and Mrs. Leppere to provide suitably for and educate the children. "I don't believe they could live without their mother," she said, "I have always had the care of them since their birth. Mr. Leppere never objects to my using his means for myself and the children." Mr. Leppere in testifying, stated: "Tho children could not be any better treated than they are by their mother. They aro being educated and given proper training. Any mother should be proud to bring up children the way she does." The witness, further stated that he had assumed the responsibility of caring and providing for the children, and his wife had the benefit of nearly all of his earn ings. He had worked for the Western Union Company for 27 years, and never lacked employment. A. S. Bernstein argued the legal aspects of the case, contending that the jurisdic tion of the Milwaukee court follows Mrs. Leppere wherever she goes. "She Is never," he said, "beyond the Jurisdiction of the court." The counsel explained that after the mother left Wisconsin the court changed its decree, taking the children from the custody of the mother and granting the father absolute control and custody without Interference from her. Counsel asserted that the decree of the Milwaukee court could be enforced by Judge Sears. D. Soils Cohen followed Mr. Bernstein in tho same vein, and said the decree of the Wisconsin court is a finality. Henry E. McGinn, of counsel for Mrs. Leppere, made an eloquent plea In her behalf, and. read numerous authorities. He contended that the duty of the court here was to consider the welfare of the children. The decree of the Wisconsin court was not binding. That court could make It one day, and change It the next. Turning to the opposing counsel, Mr. Mc Ginn said: "You want these children hauled back to Milwaukee to a man who has not made a record for himself, and who cares so little for these children that he does not come here himself, but sends a power of attorney." Attention was called to the testimony of Mrs. Leppere that she ob tained a dlvorcetfrom Henry Wlersum for cruel treatment and failure to provide, and, commenting upon this testimony, the attorney said: "The sister of the father sits here In court and says not one word against it" George W. Joseph, who appeared for 'Mrs. Leppere In conjunction with Mr. Mc Ginn, also addressed the court at con siderable length. Judge Seara took the case under advisement. TAX SETTLEMENT REVOKED. County Court Order Salt for Bal ance on Mnrqnnm Property. The County Court has revoked the or der made on December IS. 1900, compro mising taxes on the Marquam property amounting to S42.S14 for $15,774, and a suit will be filed at onco to recover the differ ence of f27.040 In the State Circuit Court by Charles H. Carey, acting as special counsel for Multnomah County, and Dis trict Attorney John Manning. Tho property Involved is block ITS, bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Morrison and Alder streets, and SO acres in the John Quinn donation land claim. The settle ment was made with J. Thorburn Ross, trustee, who bid In the Marquam prop erty 'at foreclosure sale. Previously the THle Guarantee & Trust Company, as trustee for P. A. Marquam, had disputed the legality of the assessments for a number of years. The county won on most of the points, and the Title Guar antee & Trust Company appealed to the Supreme Court. In consideration of a settlement, the trust company dismissed the appeal, but states that In a similar case the Supreme Court has decided that the grounds on which the appeal rested were well taken, and that, accordingly. In the Marquam case, the county would have lost had the appeal to the Supreme Court been prosecuted to the end. The petition and the order accompany ing it detail the whole terms of the com promise, and their contents have not heretofore been published. It has been stated variously that these documents had disappeared from the office of the County Clerk, or were inaccessible, but an Oregonlan reporter had no difficulty in obtaining copies of the same. The pe tition for compromise follows: To the County Commissioners of Multnomah County, Oregon Gentlemen: In view of the fact that the premises Involved In the litiga tion now pending lir the Supreme Court, in Which tho Title Guarantee A Trust Company Is appellant and Multnomah County Is re spondent, has been purchased at Sheriff's sale upon foreclosure by J. Thorburn Roan, trus tee, and believing it to be desirable that all claims of the county against the same be compromised, I respectfully submit to you the following proposition looking towards a settlement: , The amount cleJmed by the county hi Its answer In the above case for taxes for 1S93. 1894. 1895. 1SD0 and ISO" la $24,509.61. The court ia the above case held that of this amount the taxes of 1893. amounting to $4211.32, had already been paid and that the taxes assessed against tho SO acres for 169 and 1S05. amounting to $709. were void, thus canceling JMK)L32 leaving In controversy the turn a $19,509.29 Involved in tho case at present In the Supreme Court. Eminent counsel advise me that tho Supreme Court will undoubtedly cancel these- taxes entirely owing to the fatal Irregularities In the assessment and levy of the same, and that under the conditions most favorable for your interest in' the present case, the Supreme Court would certainly cancel tne taxes for 1S94 amounting to $6321.53. and a portion of the taxes for 1S93. 198 and 1S97 amounting to at least $5200 more, so that under the cii cumstances mot adverse to our Interests it ts Improbable that the amount fixed by the Su preme Court as a valid Ilea would exceed $7000. - It should be borne in mind that in this case your contention Is that you are not a pui- chaser of the property at Sheriff's sale for tRxes. hut that you merely have a Hen upon th,cl property for. the amount pi these taxes. If ycur contention should he sustained by the Supreme, Court and everything asked by you should be granted, the court could sot reer a decree agalnet us for the payraent of the taxes, but would simply decree that we were not properly in court. Ia that event a new suit would be begun to set aslds your lten. the result of which could hardly be determined Inside of two years jnore. In addition to the taxes at rreeent In litiga tion the taxes for JS98 and 1899 amounting to $9545.78 afe subject to even greater errors and Irregularities fatal, as I am advised, to their legality, that of 1S09 being absolutely and unqualifiedly void as to block 178. and unless a compromise be reached, it Is prob able that I shall b Instructed to contest the Men of these taxes In the Federal courts. Instead of .additional litigation. I have there fore recommended that I be -permitted to meet you In the spirit of fairness, and effect. If pos sible, a settlement by offering you, tut- I hereby do. as a compromise payment of all taxes claimed to be due upon the property described In said suit, and also Including the taxes upon said property for the years 1S9S and 1899, the sum of $15,774.83 and costs in said suit now pending In the Supreme Court. Believing that you will see that an acceptance of the above offer is clearly for the best Interests of the county, and requesting the favor of an uamw diate reply. I have the honor to be, respect fully yours, J. THOP.BCRK ROSS. Trustee. E, B. SEABROOK. Attorney for Petitioner. Portland. Or.. December 12. 1900. The order of the County Court accept ing the offer of compromise reads: This cause coming on now to be heard upon the proposition of J. Thorburn Roes, trustee, to settle, compromise, discharge and satisfy all taxes, tax Hens, tax certificate of every nature and kind whatsoever, due upon or which may become due upon the hereinafter described premises assessed for any and every year prior to the year 1KK and not including county taxes for said year 1000. And it appearing to the court that nil of said taxes, tax sales and tax certificates due to and held by said county are Involved In litigation, and there are many disputed ques tions of law. and of fact as to the levy and assessments of the same, and serious doubt exists as to whether the courts will uphold or declare valid the same, and It further ap pearing that said J.

And It further appearing to the Board of County Commissioners that an acceptance of told offer Is for the best Interests of the county. It Is hereby ordered that all the taxes, tax sales or tax liens due or held by the county for each and every year prior to 1900. ba and the same ore hereby satisfied and canceled. and that each and every one of the tax cer tificates held by the county against sold prem ises for each and every one of the said years prior to 1900 be canceled and surrendered up. It being understood that this compromise and settlement includes and "satisfies and discharges all claims of the county for taxes of what soever nature prior to the year 1900.
