Bill in Congress to Allow Rail
roads Privilege.
BRING HOLDINGS TOGETHER
Colorado Congressman Proposes to
Give Owners of Grants Right to
Trad Odd-Numbered Sections
for Even, With Restrictions.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 30. Land-grant railroads will
bs very quick to support a hill introduced
in Congress by Representative Bonynge,
of Colorado, which permits such railroads
and tiheir assigns to exchange certain of
their odd-section lands for the intervening
even sections, in order to make their hold
ings compact. The bill is loosely drawn,
though probably not intentionally so. In
,its present form it would prove a great
boon to the railroads and to those who
have purchased any considerable quantity
of railroad lands. '
In brief, the bill provides that any cor
poration or individual holding title to
more than one odd-numbered section of
public land, through a grant "from Con
gress, may exchange any part of such
land fo ran equal area of vacant Gov
ernment land provided the exchange is
confined to townships in whioh said indi
vidual or corporation may hold odd-numbered
sections. The bill stipulates that
mineral lands, and lands ot which any
rights shall have accrued under the publlo
land laws, or which have been reserved
for any public purpose, shall not be sub
ject to this right of exchange. Where the
lands sought in exohange are more valu
able than the lands proposed to be con
veyed back to the Government, the appli
cant must pay the difference in value be
fore the exchange will be made.
. Danger of Frand.
The troublewlththe Bonynge bill is sim
ply this: A railroad having a grant em
bracing all odd-numbered sections for ten
miles on either side of its road could, un
der such a law, relinquish to the Govern
ment the odd sections lying more than
five miles distant and take in exchange
the even sections within the five-mile
limit. The character of the lands on
either side of the five-mile limit might be
Identical, and on their face the value
would be the same; yet there Is no ques
tion that the lands close to the railroad
would be far more salable and actually
more valuable than those situated more
remote from the rails.
Under some administrations, as for In
stance under Commissioner Balllnger, it
Is doubtful if such exchanges could be
made unless the railroad paid the Gov
ernment the difference between the mar
ket value of the near and far lands, but
even with a Commissioner determined to
do the right thing, it would be most dif
ficult to estimate and obtain a fair state
ment of the difference in value between
lands close to the road and those from
five to ten miles away. But there is no
assurance that future Commissioners will
be unapproachable, and under an admin
istration which would be subject to rail
road influence, the United States could
be defrauded out of millions of dollars'
worth of agricultural as well as timber
lands under such a law as Bonynge pro
poses. -
Only Railroads Interested.
There Is no demand for such legislation
except from the railroads or from those
who have purchased large areas of rail
road lands. The general public has no
Interest in these matters. Therefore, if
the railroads or the holders of railroad
lands are anxious - to consolidate their
holdings, rather than have them in
checkerboard form, they should be wil
ling to make some sacrifice to the Gov
ernment. In few Instances would such
exchanges be made unless the holders
of the odd-numbered sections expected
to benefit.
Under the lieu land law the Govern
ment waa literally legally buncoed out
of millions of dollars' worth of timber;
here is a similar proposition which, while
less vicious, yet presents excellent op
portunities for unfair exchanges. Having
bad the one lesson. Western men will
generally be careful about approving the
Bonynge bill. If it Is to become Jaw, It
will bave to be better safeguarded to
head off fraud.
UNWRITTEN LAW PREVAILS
Man Acquitted of Murder Because
Wife's Conduct Was Not Right.
OGDBN, Utah., Dec. 30. Because the
evidence showed that improper relations
had existed between his wife and the vic
tim of bis wrath, Fred C. Walker wag
tonight found not guilty of the murder of
Earl S. Beers. The Jury took but two
ballots. Walker and Beeexs had a des
perate struggle in the rear of an elec
trical store last September and Beers was
so injured that be died a few hours after
ward. THE SAILING
Of the Break-water Postponed..
The sailing hour of the steamer Break
water, for Coos Bay points, has been
postponed until tomorrow (Sunday) P. M.,
December 12, at I o'clock, from Oak-street

Illegal Fencers Indicted.
HELENA. Mont. Dec. 20. The Federal
grand Jury made a partial report to
Judge Hunt today, returning 27 indict
ments, of which only seven were made
public, charging minor offenses as a rule.
The Jury was excused until January H.
when it will take up the Crow Indian
Reservation investigation. The with-
held cases are believed to be for illegal
fencing.
The report Includes indictments against
George Frank Hauser, alias Ed Smith,
and Charles Macdonald for robbing the
Oriental Limited on the Great Northern
Railroad near Ronda, Montana. Septem
ber 13 last The two men are charged
with taking from the mallear on the
train four registered packages, each con
taining $10,000 In currency.
Annuls Endowments for Masses.
PARIS, Dee. 20. The Chamber of Depu
ties by a vote of 373 to ISO, approved last
night that section of M. Brland's bill
regulating the disposition of church prop
erty which annuls endowments for the
saying of masses. The reason given for
the annulment is that the State Depart
ment and Communes are unable to fulfill
the conditions attached to such endow
ments. Will Reopen Drace's Grave.
LONDON. Dee. 20. The Home Office
has consented to the opening of the
grave of T. C. Druce, in Highgate Ceme
tery. Consequently, shortly after Christ
mas the question whether the coffin con
tains a body or a roll of lead should be
definitely answered.

BY LILIAN" TINGLE.
THE market display of good things to
eat at Christmas seems likely . to
rival that of Thanksgiving, and turkeys,
they tell me, will be even fatter, finer.
and larger, though the price seems likely
to remain in tbe neighborhood of 2 cents
a pound. Ducks also are 25 cents, while
fat domestic geese to eat with Oregon's
unrivaled apple sauce cost 20 cents a
pound, and chickens about 18 cents. There
is a good supply of wild geese, varying
in price from 60 cents to H each; snipe at
25 cents each, and large pigeons, for
old-time Christmas pies, at 15 and 20
cents each. Ordinary squabs cost as
usual 75 cents per pair; but I saw some,
of a specially large, choice and exclusive
kind, offered at 1-25 a pair.
Roast beef, especially the historically
famous sirloin, is traditional Christmas
fare. If 011 have It, don't forget that
Yorkshire pudding greatly enhances its
charms, and also that pale or thickened
gravy is an abomination, to your true
roast beef lover. 'Possums and little
pigs can be ordered now for Christmas,
though they are not yet displayed; trie
former will probably cost about $2.50 and
the latter $3 to each. Among the
many Christmas sausages and varieties of
brawn and head cheese to be seen at this
season, specially attractive are tongue
sausages most straight-forward of their
race for they are simply whole tongues
Inclosed in a layer of fat and skin for
purposes of preservation, morte della
sausage with its inviting Inset morsels
of tongue and green pistachio nuts, and
"stuffed pigsfeet" very unlike their
name, all costing from 35 to 45 cents a
pound and useful in the making- of sand
wiches, "kalte aufschnttt," or meat
salads.
Sturgeon And frog-legs are both in the
market again after a period of absence;
the former costs 20 cents a pound, lue
latter 10 cents a dozen. Columbia River
smelt are now about 20 cents a pound,
while Sound smelt can be had at 12H
"DOE SOCIAL" A SUCCESS

atives in Royal Style.
The "Doe Social," held under the

Miss Fay Bainter, of the Baker Theater
Company, . entertained with one of her

eral encores. Daphne Pollard, the diminu
tive but sprightly little ingenue of the
San Francisco Opera Company, earned
most generous applause with two clever
little ditties, and Miss Maude Beatty of
the same company won well merited ap
plause. The Newsboy's Quartet from
Pantages Theater, and Felix Adler from
the Grand Theater, made a good impres
sion on the audience and received several
recalls.
During the entertainment dainty re
freshments were served by a committee
of Elks selected by the entertainment

cocoanuts, for your old-fashioned Christ
mas "snap-dragon," or more modern

MITCHEL BREAKS DOWN
Becomes III at Conference of Coal
miners and Operators.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 20. John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
workers of America, was taken seriously
ill today while attending a Joint confer
ence of miners and coal operators at the
Claypool Hotel. He was taken to a room
complaining of pains in his side where
recent operations for abscesses were per
formed. A Roman Catholic priest and a
physician - were summoned. The latter,
after . an examination, pronounced Mr.
Mitchell in a serious, though not neces
sarily critical .condition.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon when the
coat operators and miners resumed their
conference, Mr. -Mitchell was said to be
resting comfortably.
At 8:45 P. M. the Joint conference ad
journed without agreement, to meet
again January 30, for the purpose of de
ciding whether a Joint convention will be
called to restore the Interstate wage
agreement in the central . competitive
field. t . , v
The physicians attending Mr. Mitchell
said tonight that the pain experienced by
Mr. Mitchell today was caused by the
adhesion resulting from the recent op
erations having slipped and that there
was nothing serious in his present con
dition. He is resting -comfortably to
night. '
