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.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. March 24. Instructions .have been

trymen have leased their lands to liquor-

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.

TEANCE DUE TO POISONING
Woman and Daughter Asphyxiated
by Gas Starve in Sleep.
NEW YORK. March 24. 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

PORTLAND. March 24. To tba Editor.)
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.

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

jects was correct, said the German gov

was not pressing Santo Domingo for the

INVESTIGATE ISLAND'S AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON. March 24. The Cabinet

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.

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.

Sixty years of experience with Ayer's Sarsa
parilla! Think of that! Think of the millions
of people who have been cured by this medicine!
If despondent, down-hearted, discouraged, and
almost ready to give up, this splendid old family
medicine will prove the silver lining to your
dark and dismal cloud. Ask your doctor.

ABSOLUTELY SAFE, SURE AND HARMLE$S
Physicians pronounce drunkenness a disease of the nervous system, creating
a morbid craving for a stimulant. Continued indulgence in -whisky, beer or
wine eats away the stomach .lining and stupefies the digestive organs, thus de
stroying the digestion and ruining the health. No "will power"can heal the In
flamed stomach membranes. x
"ORBJNE" permanently removes the craving for liquor by acting "directly on.
th"e affected nerves, restoring the stomach and digestive organs to normal, con
ditions, Improving the appetite and restoring the health. Can be given -secretly
if desired.
Cure Effected or Money Refunded
Ask your druggist whom you know what he thinks of ORRINE; he will in
dorse our statements as truthful in every respect. If ORBINE fails to cure we
will refund you every penny paid for it as cheerfully as we took It.'
No Sanitarium Treatment or Publicity!
No Absence from home or loss of tlrael
Mothers, wives and sisters, you cannot cure those who are afflicted with this
most terrible of all diseases by your fervent prayers, or eyes red with tears, nor
by your hope that they may stop drinking. It can be done only with ORBINE.
