INVESTIGATION BEING MADE Baker Declared All Kinds of a Bad ?Ma"n, and Llndsley a Lobbyist for Corporations Appoint- ments Held Up. OREGONIAN NEWS BDREAU. Wash ington, March 24. Obstacles continue to arise in the way of -George H. Baker, of Goldendalc, and Joseph B. Lindsley, of Spokane, recommended respectively for Marshal and Attorney of the Eastern "Washington Judicial District. Charges against both men continue to' pour in upon the Department ot Justice, and'the Pres ident has determined to make no appoint ments until he knows what there is In tne accusations. He will insist on good, cJe men. Mr. Baker is accused of being all kinds of a bad politician and offensive partisan. S.ut what is of more Importance, It has been charged, so It Is said, that, when Republican National Committeeman for "Washington he misappropriated part of the funds placed in his hands for expen diture in the campaign of 1M0. This charge is said to be made by responsible parties and Is now being looked Into very care fully, for, on the investigation hangs ulti mate'' action in Mr. Baker's case. There are numerous charges of record against Mr.- Lindsley, alleging that he is not sufficiently experienced as a lawyer or practitioner before the United States courts to he qualified to fill the office of United States Attorney. But, aside from this, it is alleged that as a member of the Spokane -City Council he lobbied in the interest of the Spokane Telephone Company and defeated, a franchise Bought by an opposition concern; and that ho also lobbied in "the ' interest of the Spokane Light & Power Company against the in terests of the people of Spokane. These charges, if sustained, are suf ficiently grave to prevent the appointment of "both Baker and Llndsley. It is not known when the report will be submitted. It may be some time before these offices are filled. "Meanwhile Senators Ankeny and Piles remain In Washington awaiting results. IRRIGATE WITH WATER ONLY Government Bars Liquor "-' Dealers 'From Land to Be Reclaimed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 24.

Herbert A. Yates, of Oregon, has been appointed clerk in the reclamation serv ice and assigned to Pendleton under Dis trict Engineer John T Whistler. LAND EEVENUE ON DECREASE. Abatement of Timber Land Stampede the Principal Cause. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 24. Public land receipts are still on the decline. Apparently the record for the year 1903 Is not again to be equaled. In the 12 months which ended June 30, 1903, the receipts from the disposal of public lands reached the enormous total of $10,557, 618. The next year the gross receipts fell to $8,792,893, and for the current year there threatens to be a further decline of about $3,000,000. All of this means that there will be $3,000,000 less added to the reclamation fund this year than during the year 1904, and nearly $5,000,000 less than two years ago. This falling off is not unexpected. Two years agq the rush for timber lands was at its height; the number of timber entries was unprecedented. It is well known that the principal source of public land revenue is the sale of public timber lands, and when these sales decrease the receipts show a fall ing oft. The General Land Office has compiled statistics of land business done in the six "months from July to December. 1904. inclusive, the first half of the present fiscal year. In that time there were S1.700 entries, embracing 9.705.549 acres. The total cash .receipts -were $3,563,114. It is to he noted that the number of entries showed a material decrease as compared with the first half of the previous fiscal year, though the acres disposed ot show a marked increase. To be exact, there were 10. 771 less entries in the first half of the present fiscal year than In the corre sponding half of the year 1904, yet the number of acres entered shows an In crease of 1,165.000 for the six months. This increase in acreage is attributed to the operation of the 640-acre home stead law. applicable . to Nebraska, known as the Kinkald act. This law was passed as an experiment, to per mit large homestead entries to be made in the grazing country. It was con tended that no man could make a liv ing on 160 acres of this land, but that it would bo rapidly taken uj if the sire of tho entries should bo Increased fourfold. This assumption has proven correct. At the last session of Congress a 640 acre homestead law was passed for the arid region of Colorado and South Da kota. As this law went into effect Immediately. It is assumed that there will soon be a still further Increase in the acreage disposed of. though the number of entries will not increase In proportion. It is roughly estimated that about K.000.000. acres of grazing land in Ne braska have alroady been taken, up un der the Kinkald law. This law does not tend to contribute much to the reclamation fund, and will not operate to swell the amount available for the construction of Government irrigation works. It Is now believed that between S5.000.000 and $6,000,000 will be added to the reclamation . fund, this year, though the ficure will be nearer $5,000,000 than $6:000.000. May Seek to Compel Answers.

One of the most .remarkable cases in the experi ence of the doctors of the Presbyterian Hospital, in this city, ended today In tho death of Miss Luella Huestis, of Mount Vernon, who with hor -mother, Mrs."James H. Huestis, had been in a trance for 15 days prior to her death. More than two weeks ago both of -the women were found unconscious in the home of Henry Heifer, a lawyer of this city, and were supposed to have been asphyxiated by gas. Neither had since recovered consciousness, and physi cians and hypnotists were puzzled by their unaccountable coma. Mies Huestis was an attractive young woman, aged 22 years. Lack of nour ishment was the principal cause of her death, as it had been impossible to give her food except In liquid form and through a tube. Stimulants and oxygen were administered, without1 ef fect. A singular ,fact" Is that the young iN TOMPRROWS ORpGONIAN BROADWAY, THE MECCA OF THE STAfeE-STRUOK GIRL.

An opportunity is presented to our city by re&zon or the Lewis and Clark Fair to ac quire a practical-working Oriental commercial museum. I am aware that to. tmdertako the establishment ot ruch an Institution would entail a very considerable cost were It not that during the Exposition Oriental commerce will come in close and direct touch with our American manufacture, shipping and gen eral commercial Interests During this time all information so vital to the success of a working' exhibit, exploiting the exchange of commerce between our country and the Ori ental countries can be gathered from first handc. through the contact of tho representa tives of these several Interests. This xnueum should collect and have at hand samples or all export goods now marketable and which promise a market .1ft the Orient, stowing .the manner ot packing and preparation, whole sale and retail prices, shipping, warehouse, dock and tariff charges, relative values of jtnoney, exchange charges, ports of entry tor such products, names and addresses of local dealers, with commercial ratings, and in short all the minutiae of detail which would enable an American manufacturer to reach the Oriental markets with his product with out the necessity of sending a representative into such market for investigation. Business people are well aware of the benefit that the great coinineyslal museum of Philadelphia has been to that city. The business men "of St. Louis some ten years ago started the establishment of such a museum with reference particularly to the Mexican and South American trade, which has been the means ot building cp a heavy commerce with those countries, particularly In manufactured goode. Such a museum established in Portland, hav ing to do with Oriental commerce, will give to this city an advantage and prestige enjoyed by no the- American port. ' It will make our city the Mecca, of every ambitious mer chant or manufacturer who will mint to reap the benefits from the rapidly Increasing Pa cific Ocean commerce. With our IransoenU tiental rail lines connecting at our decks with the Portland & Oriental Steamship Corapary, with a regular line of steamers direct to Asiatic ports. It will be. the means of divert ing through our port & large portion of this growing commerce. While this trad has nuuto rapid Increase in the past five years it le admitted that its expansion will reach enormous proportions when the great East ern war has terminated. Portland should use even effort to tske advantage of this oppor tunity. . ana u &Ken up. oy our commercial bodies there is'so question orfpts ultimate success and the permanent establishment In our city of an Oriental commer&lal museum.

HOPED AMERICA WOULD ACT French Bondholders Disappointed at Failure of Treaty. PARIS. March 24. The authorltlM say that no steps are being consldered'rel- atlve 16 pressing the French claims against Santo Domingo. It Is explained that the French holders of Dominican bonds hoped the United States Senate would ratify the treaty adjusting the finances of Santo Domingo, and the bondholders were much disappointed at the fact that action on the treaty was deferred. .How ever, "they have taken no steps to secure government intervention, and the latter has not yet shown a disposition to assume the collection of the debt by the adoption of drastic measures. The officials here say the total amount of Dominican bonds held In Europe Is about 121.000.000. divided in order of Im portance between Belgium. France. Hol land and Germany. Although Belgium Is chiefly Interested, tho authorities point out tttat she Is a neutral power, not hav ing the means to adopt coercive measures. 1 ranee approached the United States some months since, with the view- to se curing details of the Dominican sourccs-of revenue, "but these proved so complicated that the officials entertain little hope of utilizing the revenues as a means of liqui dating the foreign bonds. . CAUSE OF BELGIAN PROTEST Santo Domingo Has Not Paid Instal ments Due on Bonds. BRUSSELS, March 21. The protests of the Belgian Government and of the French and Belgian bondholders of Santo Domingo are said' to be due to Santo Domingo's nonobservance of the agree-' ment concluded with the bondholders June SI, 1901. to pay towards the satisfaction of the public debt $25,000 monthly out ot the customs receipts of the Port of Santo Domingo. (The largest of tho foreign debts of Santo Domingo la that represented by the bonds of the new unified loan of 1S97. held in KJropc. principally in France and Bel glum, consisting of two Issues, bearing respectively 2.4 per cent and 4 per cent Interest, andamountlng to about 421,250, 000. r Both classes of bonds were secured on customs duties, and rpedally assigned revenues. Default In the payment of in terest was made April 1, 1S93, since which ' time several arrangements have been at tempted to provide for the Interest pay ments. "Belgians hold about 5S.000.000 of Dominican bonds.) Germany Will Rely on United. States. BERLIN. March 24. The Foreign Office, replying to an inquiry of the Associated Pres?, as to whether the report that CLroai Srit&in And Germany wexo Dress-. Ing Santo .Domingo for a settlement of the claims- of British and" German sub jects was correct, said the German gov ernment was satisfied to leave Santo Do mingo and her obligations to foreign cred itors entirely In the hands of the United1 States, and. that consequently Germany was not pressing Santo Domingo for the payment of debts- due to Germans. INVESTIGATE ISLAND'S AFFAIRS Cabinet Will Send Hollander to Ob tain Information for Senate. WASHINGTON. March 24. The Cabinet today discussed the situation in Santo Domingo. No new phases of the question have arisen within a few days and tho Administration will not make any present change in its Indicated method of pro cedure. The failure of the Senate to ratify the treaty with the Dominican gov ernment has embarrassed the Administra tion and nothing now will be done except to Initiate an Investigation into the affairs of the island government with a view simply, to obtaining definite Information. The present status on the, island, so far as this Government ia concerned, will not be disturbed. Professor J. H. Hollander, who. has been designated as special commissioner to investigate conditions In Santo Do mingo, was In conference with Secretary of War Taft and Acting" Secretary of State Adee today regaatiing the scope of bis mission. Professor Hollander also will see the President before leaving for Santo Domingo. PLANS FOR INVESTIGATION. i Hollander Will Spend Month? In Tour of Dominican Ports. "WASHINGTON, March 24.

From there he will go to Santo Domingo on. the Chattanooga, which will be at his disposal to, convey him from place to place while he Is pursuing the. Investi gation. He will retnrn to the United" SJates in May, and If his Investigation Is not completed by that time he will again return to. the Island. 1 CATTLE IN STREETS. One of the Country Characteristics Portland Still Possesses. - PORTLAND. March 24. To the Editor.) In our praiseworthy united efforts for tne cleansing and beautifying of our streets and private grounds In .anticipation of the Expo sition, which I trust will crystallize into a settled purpose en the part of all the citizens to continue such efforts without abatement. In order that the whole city may be raised to a plane commensurate with Its rapidly increasing population and Its growing Impor tance. I would like to speak o tho very un satisfactory conditions prevailing along one of our most prominent thoroughfares, name ly. Fourteenth street, from "Washington to Montgomery. This is one of the most beautiful streets of tho city, particularly well adapted for resi dence purposes, but Ihe portion of It, espe cially, lying "between Morrison and Jeffer son streets, has been allowed By the city officials to become badly In need of repairs and has been in this condition for at least the past three years. A prominent thor oughfare of this nature cannot escape the notice of Eastern visitors and Is certain to cause unfavorable comment, since the street Is one that could make a most attractive showing If kept In proper condition. This street Is so full of holes that riding, instead ot becoming a pleasure. Is rendered most objectionable. In addition to the un satisfactory condition of the roadbed, there is one very -improper use to which the street has been put for many years past and is merely a continuation of Its village charac ter. I speak of the droves of hogs and cat tle which are frequently. In fact two or three days In some weeks, driven along the street to the great annoyance and disgust of the residents. Portland Is now a city of 150,000 inhabit ants and is assuming a position among the large cities of the country commensurate with its population, and Importance but we can never occupy our proper place unless such village characteristics are abolished and such annoyances relegated through tho proper channel. Public dissuasion of this matters, of course, accomplishes something, but the desirable results sought for can only be obtained by calling public attention to such nuisances through your columns. TVe are all Interested In such matters, or should be, and the attention of the City Council, or the proper official, should be directed to this and simi lar opportunities for betterment. E. R. HATCH. SCKIPPERS ABE WITHIN" EIGHTS Tlmberlands Legally Taken In Lieu of Worthless Holdings. PORTLAND. March 2. To the Editor.) In The Oregonlan I see from the Oregon City correspondent the following: "It Is generally understood that m recent years large cor porations have relinquished to the Govern ment land within the forest reserves that has been denuded of its Umber, reducing its value to a nominal sum. and made lieu land selections Instead on some of the roost valuable timber lands In the state, of the reasonable value of $40 to $50 per acre, thereby defrauding the Government out of thousands of 'dollars." United States land laws not only permit tho above method of exchanging lands lying within the forest reserves for any other sur veyed lands of like area owned Tiy the United States, and not otherwise appropriated, but the sald laws specifically provide every de tail of how such exchange shall be made and there Is no law or even regulation by the Interior Department requiring or even suggesting that It was ever the Intention on tho part of the makers of said law that the owners ot scrip should consider the relative value of the lands' they surrender to the Government and the lands they selected in Hen thereof. Filers ot scrip have In every case fully compiled wfh every condition -contained In the lieu land law when they buy practically valueless land in forest re serves and exchange that with the Govern ment for other lands of more value. In the light of the foregoing it Is remarkable that nearly every newspaper correspondent and especially the Washington correspondent of The Oregonlan and editors in general in referring to the exchange of lands .within forest reserves for other lands characterize the filers of said .scrip as land-grabbers, scoundrels, thieves and conspirators to de fraud the Government out of valuable lands. The press has thereby done the people of the Northwest a great wrong, and It Is no more than fair to ask It to undo this so far as "possible. Filers of scrip have simply ac cepted a-legal proposition made to them by the Government officials for the exchange of lends. The whole wrong done to the Gov ernment In this matter was done by the en actors ot the lieu land laws and not by those acting under said laws and In exact con formance thereto.' . SCRIPPER.
