SUITS ARE LONG DELAYED LARGEST HOUSE ON COAST 12 h i x I ! -w " '.lie -Jiv j Similar Action Pending In Washing ton Has foved More Speedily, and Decision Is Expect ed Next Month. Eighty-one residents of Michigan and other Eastern states yesterday re ceived permission from Judge Wolver ton to Intervene as parties to the suit whereby the United States, through Special Prosecutor Townsend, is at tempting to vitiate and set aside what is known as the Oregon A California land grant. Most of the last complainants are residents of Grand Rapids and the country surrounding that city. The suit was filed by Peter J. Dan hof, of Grand Rapids, an attorney of long practice before the- bar of the State of Michigan. In the complaint At torney Danhof raises a question which heretofore has been entirely eliminated from the case. He does not allege that the 1 people whom he represents r' actually residents on the lands af fected by the grants of Congress of 1S69 and 1870. but he says that each and every one of them Is qualified to become an entryman, and that all have notified the Oregon & California Rail way Company and the Southern Pacific Company that they stand ready to' purchase the granted lands. In many instances tl'e purchase price as desig nated tn the act of Congress, $2.50 an acre, has been tendered and refused. Information Is Sold. ending a decision by the court tliere appear to be many persons who are taking advantage of the situation ns dealers In Information concerning Government lands. From Omaha. Ne braska, a circular lias boen sent out reciting the story of the litigation. Letters from Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Texas. Missouri, Minnesota and a number of other states inquire as to tho status of the controversy, and in dicate the writers' desire to become rosldonts of Oregon, as soon as the provisions of thp law relating to the land grunts are construed. The circulars from Omaha. Neb., and at least one from a Portland speculator advise that they will furnish the num bers of lands which may be settled upon for a fee ranging from $50 to $100, according to the value of the homesteads selected. It Is intimated that the only qua! Ification for settle ment Is as prescribed In the United States homestead act. All of the suits begun by Attorney LalTerty. as attorney for interveners, lias been on behalf of those persons who have actually become residents and have Improved the lands hereto fore granted by Congress, and which were ordered disposed of at $2.50 an acre to actual settlers In lots of not to exceed 160 acres. C'ae Begun in 1908. Ronrhlng from Portland to the California line a strip 60 miles- wide and approximately SSGO iu.ile? long is withheld from settlement by the policy of the Southern Pacific In refusing to. sell Its granted lands1 to "actual settlers' at anv prase. I Begun In September. 1908. when B. T. Townsend. special prosecutor appointed by the United States Attorney General, filed the complaint, the case was at issue March 1. livty. when a demurrer was ar gued. Various- steps since then have consumed time. The Government In July had. 30 das in which to file ' a brta-f in reply to the contentions1 of the railway lawyer, but this document has not yet reached the court. Refusal to Sell at Issue. The question involved Is the right of the Oregon & California or the Southern Pacific to refuse to sell lands to actual settlers. It was raised In the case of John L. Snyder, of Columbia County, who went into court in September.' 1907. and asked for an order requiring tho railroad companies to accept his ofTer of $2.50 an sere for 160 acres upon which he lives. Fifty other settlers at that time vera concerned in the outcome. It was finally merged Into the general complaint against the railroads. In the case before the court at this time the United .States contends that two grants were made to the defendant rail road companies the first in JS69 and the necond a year later. In the first case the grant applied to the Oregon & California Rallwav and ceded alternate sections- on either side of the track for 25 miles, with the right to select alternate sections lieu lands from the adjoining five-mile strip. Congress inserted In section two of the grant a clause which raised the price of homestead entries to $2.60 an acre and reduced their size to SO acres. Homestead Act Restored. A few years later Congress restored the original effectiveness of the homestead act to lands Inside the right of way of the railroads, and passed the timber and stone aot. which allowed non-resident fil ings to be mads upon timber lands. Section 4 of the grant to the railroads crovided that the granted lands should be old to actual settlers only in tracts of irtO acres and at a price not to exceed 52-60 an acre. Under the authority of this act the Oregon & California and the Southern Pacific actually sold more than 1.000.000 acres of the lands, but it is vhareed that they collected more than S2.60 an acre and did not limit the sales to actual settlers. In their argument before Judge Wolver ton Attorneys Peter K. Dunne and Will iam Singer. Jr.. of San Francisco: W. IX Kenton and Dolph. Mallory, Simon & Gearin. representing the railroads and the mortgagee and stockholders, contended that the granting of the lands by Con gress was an outright gift, contingent noon the buildixg of the railroad and Its equipment, that patents were issued by the Government following such a show ing and that after the -receipt of patents Government control ceased. Similar Case Pending. A suit is now pending before the United States Circuit Court for the district of Washington, which involves exactly the same issues as that " raised by the Government against the South ern Pacific and the Oregon & Cali fornia, and it followed the sama train of procedure, except that Judges Deit rlch of Idaho and Donworth of Wash ington, forced more speedy action. .Judge Donworth now has the demurrer nnder consideration and It Is expected that a decision will be handed down before January 15. An interesting situation Is presented! by the existence or the two cases, for the reason that courts of co-ordinate Jurisdiction in Federal affairs hsv usually followed the precedents estab lished by decisions handed down In- PROGRESS IN FINE ARTS A Critique on Portland's Lore of'the Beantiful. P'O'TIAND, Dec.iS (To the realtor. V Would not sporadic outbursts of genius In th fine arts, such as The Oregonian cites, be rather slim dependence for in struction, now more or less in general demand? Among those whom the writer reckons among his friends are two Portland house holds, supporting each at great self-denial, a pupil abroad one in Paris, the other in Berlin in schools of fine. art. These, no doubt, are but a fraction of the whole away from this city on the same or similar errands. As to the low, impoverished taste of PorMand people, rendering the atmosphere uncongenial for such a school, it is per haps as favorable in that respect as was that of Oregon, a half century or more ago. when the Paclflo University was founded in Forest Grove for Instructing the crude material about it in the liberal arts. If we had the atmosphere outlined by The Oregonian, we should have need of little else. Of all the evils common to the young, that of self-depreciation is the greatest. They are not sufficiently aspiring! For this reason, thousands of people do not aim at higher models in the beautiful, because inspiration from with out does not awaxen it within them. The Oregonian will not deny that acquisition by the young in any department of learn ing will. If there Is anything in them kindred to such things, aspire to it when it Is brought to the surface of their own consciousness. There is no romance In this assestion. Upon It, the Government of the United States established American schools for the, natives In the Philippines. It is the work of all education to work from above downward. The highest cul ture finds Its use in the lowliest labor. The work of the pioneer schools at Salem and Forest Grove proves beyond question that the rarest finish finds its reward in the expenditure of its resources upon the material, much of it ignorant and de based, about them. So let the people be ignorant of the best works of art, and their own powers will lie dormant in proportion to the depth of that ignorance. Neither does anyone wish to "divest" the noble be quest of Mrs. Amanda Reed, from that for which it was Intended, or to make a "fuss." A true assimilation to the noblest ideals of a people, is the process ot time, long time, usually. It is not exaggeration to say that the climate, beautiful homes. lure water and cleanliness of Portland are without parallel on the American con tinent. Here, if, any where. Is the appro priate home of a fine-art plant that shall fuVther distinguish our city. So mote It be' . E. CLINE. BIG ROADS BACK FESTIVAL Transcontinental Companies to Ad vertise, Rose Show.

CHARGE IS COUNTERFEITING Child Swears Stepfather Tells Truth About Location of Closet in Marshfield Home, Which Is Big Point InDajr's Evidence. Sobbing as if her little heart were breaking at the ordeal she had under gone on the witness stand, where she appeared as an aid to her stepfather, Floyd Avery, 14-year-old Norah Hovel proved herself the star witness in the Government's prosecution of her foster parent yesterday. Avery is charged with counterfeiting gold $10 pieces and was arrested as he stepped from the gang plank of the steamer Breakwater July 13. All day -yesterday the testimony in the case- hovered around the question as to whether tthere was a cloEet - under the stairway at Avery's Marshfield home . In which he concealed a box of counterfeit gold coin, and from which he produced the $10 piece which Actor-Porter-Ballplayer Wilson, who is the chief witness for the Government, swears Avery passed. This Is the one coin which it Is charged .was circulated in the Coos Bay city. Avery said yesterday that there was no closet under the stairs to the basement. Mrs. Avery said on the stand no such receptacle existed, and the little girl, wearing a rusty brown suit, a hat of a fashion of several Winters gone and a pair of rusty shoes, choked back her sobs and tears and swore her mother and step-father had told the truth. Avery is charged with having entered into an arrangement' with a hotel porter named Wilson whereby the latter was to circulate counterfeit goldV coin at the last Fourth of July celebration at Marshfield. He gave Wilson one coin of the denomi nation of $10, which he says he received while making change at the wharf one Sunday in June. A stranger asked Avery to make change for the gold piece, and he did so. H gave the $10 in good money and a few days later discovered he had been "stung." Seneca Fouts, defending the prisoner, promised that he would show that he had received the money in this manner and that he was such a "Reuben" as easily to be a victim. While on the stand Avery told the story in good form, but when placed In the chair 'again for rebuttal, he became badly confused and contra dicted himself in a number of important matters. Steve Connell, Secret Service agent at Portland, arrested Avery, with the as sistance of Detectives Maloney and Hell yer. As he stepped-from the gangplank and was met by the officers, they say he remarked: "I expected to be arrested," but yesterday he could not account for that remark in any manner. Connell tes tified that Avery admittted after arrest that he had given the false money to Wilson, as well as making a number of damaging statements. Avery repudiated the alleged confesssion to Connell, Jtnd accused the- officers of the Government of undue anxiety to secure a conviction. Detective Clause and Marshal Carter, of Marshfield, were used in rebuttal of the evidence of the defense, but both of them were unable to describe the locations of the stairway and the closet to the satis faction 'of the jury. Many of the jury men asked questions of the latter wit nesses and exhibited a state of extreme confusion concerning the location of the place where the bogus coins were said to have been concealed. Aside from the members of his family, Avery produced but one witness in bis own behalf. Ben Burney, a citlxen of .t-? . - ..1! f l r " j iff - 7 i Marshfield, who said the defendant bore a good reputation in that community. The case will be submitted to the Jury this morning.

Presiding Judge Bronaugh has set no cases for trial during this pe riod, so it Is expected the Judges will take a rest,' or, as often happens, put in the time looking up law points in cases un der advisement and getting these cases ready for the announcement of decisions.

Anti-Tuberculosis Stickers as Popu lar as Christmas Gifts Booth Workers Detailed. Not only in Portland but all over the state women's clubs, social organizations, health societies and other forces are rushing sales of Red Cross - Christmas stamps. As Christmas approaches pub lic interest in the stamp becomes keener, and indications are that the stamps will be as necessary - to develop- genuine Christmas cheer as Christmas gifts. The general interest is many times more pronounced this year than a year ago, although at that time -it was very great. The people are not only buying the stamp for the clever idea and the Xmas cheer which centers in it, but each stamp sold Is a contribution of 1 cent to the warfare against the whits plague in Oregon. The Visiting Nurse Association hopes to sell $10,000 worth of the stAjjpa in Oregon, and scores of organizations and individual!?, promoting the sales, are making an energetic effort to raise this amount.

McAllen & McDonnell, Third and Morrison TAX VIEWS VARIED Napoleon Davis, Granger, As sails Proposed Law. FARMERS' VIEW IS GLOOMY They Do Not Pay All Taxes, Asserts Speaker Lectu rer Jbhnson In sists Present Taxation Meth ods Are Not Equitable. "This meddling and tinkering with the tax laws of this state Is a dangoiJs thing, and I believe that the preserff tax law is sufficient and fair to all concerned. and we ought to leave it alone." Thus remarked Napoleon Davis, master of Multnomah County Pomona Grange, yesterday afternoon at the quarterly meeting of this Grange in Evening Star Grange Hall, on the Section Line road. "Taxation" was the topic under discus sion for the afternoon, and Mr. Davis was the last speaker. He said that he was sorry that the farmers took such a gloomy view of the tax law as it stands and of taxation in general. "The farmers even say they pay all the taxes." declared Mr. Davis, "but they do not pay all the taxes. They pay their share and no more. The corporations pay their share. They have been hit pretty hard in this state the railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. In Portland tne assessed valuation is $340,000,000. In the country It is many times less, and Port land built these fine roads. Our tax laws are good enough, if properly administered. That is" the way I feel about this matter. Why, by the gloomy way the farmers talk about the taxes I should Imagine you were all Democrats." State Lecturer -J. J. Johnson opened the discussion of the tax question and advo cated the amendments proposed by the State Grange, and which will be. voted on at the general election in November, 1910. He held that the plan proposed in these amendments would separate the sources of revenue for the state and counties, and would permit of a more equitable method of taxation. Eugene Palmer, who assist ed in framing the proposed tax amend ment, spoke at length in favor of the amendments, and quoted the law. He de clared that the amendments ought to find favor with every Granger, in the state. Mr. Palmer told of the opposition that the measure bad received in the Legisla ture and the efforts made to prevent their submission to the people. H. J. Parkison, editor of the Labor Press, of Portland, said that while in the main the amendments met his approval, the fact that the Legislature is permitted to enact measures of taxation destroyed the value of the measures. Mr. Parkison declared that there should . be another amendment, prohibiting the Legislature from passing any tax measures without first submitting them to the people. Mrs. Maggie L. Johnson, of Clackamas County, attacked tbe State Grange tax amendments with vigor. She declared that the Tax Commission provided In the amendments was all wrong, and would not result in equitable adjustments. "We have already too many commis sions." she said, "in Portland and else where. In Portland they have a Milk Commission, Pure Food Commission and a Port of Portland Commission, and now to provide for a Tax Commission would be too much, and wouid not effect any benefit. We have a good tax law now, and the whole trouble Is With its adminis tration. What we need above everything is able, .capable and honest men as As sessors and deputies, and then we shall need no amendments nor -tax commis sions." Elegantly fitted bags and suit cases at Harris. Trunk Co., Sixth and Alder. Portland Branch of Marshall-Wells Hardware Company to Have Sep arate Buildings to Handle Rap idly Growing Business. Mar shall -Wells Company, wholesale hardware, will start the erection here on February 1 of what will be the largest wholesale house on the Pacifly Coast. Two entire blocks adjoining each other in North Portland will be improved with handsome fireproof structures, connected wtth overhead runways from the third floors and Involving an expenditure of close to $1,000,000. The property which will be improved Is . blocks 138 and 141, Couch's Addition to Portland, and lies be tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and from Johnson to Lovejoy streets. The building on block 13S, between John son. Kearney, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets will be a six-story structure cover ing the entire property, 200x200 feet in suse. On the other block, number 141, located between Fourteenth. Fifteenth, Kearney and Lovejoy streets, will be a three-story building, also 200x200 feet In size. This latter building will be 4uilt with walls capable of sustaining three additional stories. This part of the build ing will be used for the handling of the heavy hardware, pipe, etc. Plans Now Ready. The plans have already been prepared. Jay Smith, local manager of the Manshall- Wells Company, said yesterday it was the twan to sell the present quarters, at Fifth and Pine streets, where there is already a handsome brick structure covering half a block. j The structures will he modern through out, will be built so as to withstand the heaviest -possible weights, will be abso lutely fireproof and entirely up to date and eauioped with several elevators for the movement of the heaviest class of freight. The erection of these new wholesale houses for Portland was decided after a strenuous attempt to secure the vacation of Kearney street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The company at first proposed to have this street vacated. then to build a warehouse on the entire two blocks. 200x460 feet in size, six-stories high and by all odds the largest wholesale structure west of the MissisCTppi River. The statement was made that the Port land blocks were too short to secure adequate quarters on a 'full block and It was for this purpose that the vacation of Kearney street was desired. Citizens Object and Plan Dies. When the matter was laid before the property owners, however, decided objec tions presented themselves and the op position was so great that the plan had to be abandoned. Now the architect is completing the plans for the structures with, a view of starting to build on February 1. The new quarters, it is believed, will be sufficient for several years and when additional space is required this will be secured by the addition of three or four stories to the building which is tow to be made a three-story structure. The work which is to commence on February 1 will be on tho six-story bund ing No attempt will be mads to start construction on the three-story edifice until the first building is. completed and the move has been made from the pres ent Fifth-street location.
