May ZT.CSpecial.) Every train coming here today brought a good-sized crowd of grangers to be on hand for the opening of the thirty-fourth annual session of the Oregon State Grange. ' The grange will be called to order promptly at ten o'clock tomorrow morning by State Master Austin t . Bux ton. All the officers and voting delegates will be here at that time. The greatest number of visitors will come tomorrow snd Wednesday. The hotels are crowded and private rooms are being taken every where 1n the city from the increasing numbers who will be here during the next three days. The programme for Tuesday consists of the formal opening of the State Grange and permanent organization fol lowed by euch business as may be intro duced of a legislative nature. In the evening a nubile reception will be given the visitors with an address of welcome toy Mayor L. M. Blowers. A. C. Staten will 'represent the granges of Wasco County in welcoming the guests. Truman Butler will extend a welcome on behalf of the Commercial Club and Hon. K. I Smith will greet the grange in the name of all the people. Responses will be made by State Master Buxton. State lecturer Mrs. Waldo and the other prominent members of the order. It is too early yet to forecast grange legislation, but it is expected that several important measures will come up and i Tv-lll he hotly debated. Probably the most Important of these will be sn effort by the grange of Linn County to have the executive committee Instructed to take tip the State University referendum matter. Bo far the committee has never been in structed, although it opposed the refer endum upon the appropriation fixed by the Legislature at Its last session. Considerable interest Is being taken in proposed road laws, transportation mea sures and postal affairs. The Tuttle road law is being systematically opposed by the grange, its provisions having been defeated in seven counties during the past year by grange influence. Amend ments will be asked for. House Bill 87, concerning the taxation of corporations, will be up for criticism and consideration. It will come up early in the session and will probably be given over to a special grange committee for attention Mil next session of the State Grange. Another matter which causes consider able Interest is the normal school ques tion. A resolution will be adopted asking for a yes or no vote by the people upon them. The people will probably be called upon to vote upon each school separately. The session promises to be extremely interesting to the public at large as well as to tho members of the order. Social features will not be omitted and it large class will be given the state degree. The grange has taken on a great Impetus In Eastern Oregon and the people are mak ing an extra effort to entertain their visitors in a true fraternal and brotherly spirit. TARE PEKDS FOR EVIDENCE Moscow Land-Fraud Cases Devoid or Dramatic Features. MOSCOW, Idaho, May 27. (Special.) -This was what m1gl)t be . called a documentary evidence day In the North Idaho land conspiracy trial of W. K. Kettenbach, George H. Kester and William Dwyer. for it was devoted en tirely to the introduction of the Lewis ton Land Office records bearing upon the case at bar. by Register T. II. Bart lett, and the introduction of certified :oples of certificates of title to lands acquired by entrymen and the deeds Tor the same when transfer was made to either one or the other of the de fendants. The prosecution sought to show by mch evidence the alleged conspiracy on e part of the defendants to defraud the Government out of valuable timber tlairoa. The only feature of the day was the laying of a foundation on the part of the defense by its cross-examination of Register Bartlett-to show that Dwyer was sincere In the many contests -which he instituted in the Lewlston Land Of Sce. The purported facts are that when sertain townships were thrown open for sntry. in 1904 about 20 . people filed lomestead entries, their ultimate in lention being to change the same to tone and timber entries for the bene St of those whose agents they were. Dwyer got onto the scheme and cir tumvented it by instituting- contest pro leedlngs, securing relinquishments and ilaclng upon the claims parties who iventually deeded the land over to the wlston National Bank officers. Other documentary evidence went to ihow. so the prosecution contended, ihat the defendants . fraudulently ac luired title to state school fund lands ocated in the Immediate vicinity or trtjolnlng rlaipis . in what was then Ihoshone County, which they had al ady secured title to.

ROSEBURG. Or.. May 27.-SpeciaI.) Since the publication In The Oregonian of May 11 of news from Washington to the effect that approximately 91,520 acres of land adjacent to the Ashland and Sis kiyou National forests, in this district, would be released from withdrawal for forestry purposes and restored to entry August 22. the local Land Office has been flooded with requests for informa tion concerning these lands. It should be explained that but a small part of the lands thus released are vacant and subject to entry under this order. Within this area are 12.160 acres of school land, 17.SB0 acres unsurveyed, and 27,520 acres of the Oregon & California Railroad grant.- Of the remainder of 33.90 acres, probably 75 per cent had been entered by private claimants before the withdrawal, and they were, of course, the more ac cessible and desirable lands. Probably not more than S000 acres pt land available for entry Is included in the area released by this order, most of which is of in different quality or so inaccessible as not to be very valuable. The other recent releases in this dis trict of lands that had been withdrawn for forestry purposes may be similarly discounted for the area thus to be act ually made available for entry.

New Law Will Go Into Effect June 12. SEATTLE, Wash., May 27. (Special.) Railroads operating in this state have agreed to recognize the reciprocal ne murrage act passed by the last Legisla ture In so far as it pertains to traffic originating within and consigned to points within Washington. A rigid enforcement of this rule will mean a serious curtailment of the num ber of cars provided to move shingle products, and will be a serious blow to the lumber and shingle Industry. Orders have been issued that cars will only be supplied where the destination is given. This move is intended to clrcum vent the lumbermen who have taken the position, that they are not compelled to give the destination or cars wnen loao ing them. The first clash with shippers will come over the demand for a state' ment as to destination, and an appea to the courts will likely be made on that issue which will determine the right of this state to regulate interstate com merce. If shippers attempt to evade the new railroad rule by billing a car to a point near the state line, then attempt to change the destinatipn, the roads will compel the payment of full local tariffs to the original destination and may com pel a reloading. Tbe new ,law becomes effective June 12. and is similar to an act passed by the last Oregon Legislature. SALEM PEOPLE AFTER LANDS Attorney. Will Insist "Actual Settler" Does Not Mean Resident.
