COAST APPLES HEM
IN BRITISH MARKET
fiAt-prnment Seeking to Recover
$65,000 on Charge That Plot
to Defraud Existed.
The suit of the government against
the Oregon Lumber company and cer
tain of its officers, to recover $6a,000
for alleged conspiracy and fraud in
acquiring land tracts in the north
pasfpm nart of the state, has been
referred to the supreme court of the
United States by the federal circuit
rmirt of arvneals at San Francisco.
The action comes on an appeal
token by the government from the
decision of Judge Bean in September,
1918, wherein he dismissed the suit of
the government. Because of two ex
tremely delicate and important ques
tions of law involved in the case, the
circuit court refused to render a
decision and passed the matter on
to the supreme court. Judges Gilbert.
Morrow and Hunt of the circuit court
heard the appeal, argued by Hall
I.usk. assistant United States attorney
for Oregon, in October, 1920.
Fraud Plot Ihartced.
The original complaint of the gov
ernment was filed in February. 1918.
and charged that during 1899 the
Oregon Lumber company unlawfully
conspired to acquire certain tracts of
land under the timber and stone act
of 1S7S.
In the defense the main plea was
based upon the fact that In October,
1912, the United States brought suit
in eauitv to set aside the patents for
the lands, alleging fraud, and that the
district court dismissed the equity
suit on the grounds thai the gov
ernment had had full knowledge of
the matters complained of in its suit
for more than six years before the
suit was Instituted, and that no action
was taken.
Two Qumion Put I p.
The questions of law concerning
which the circuit court of appeals de
sires instruction from the supreme
court are:
"Is an action by the United States
for tho value of lands as damages,
against the patentees for the lands
for fraudulent acquisition ot me
lands patented under the timber and
stone act. barred where more than
six years have elapsed after the Unit
ed States with knowledge of the fraud,
brought a suit in equity to cancel the
patents for the same lands, in which
equity suit decree of dismissal was
made against the United States on the
ground .that the suit was barred by
the statute of limitations?" and
"If the foregoing question be an
swered in the negative, should any
damages recoverable be reduced by
such amounts aa the United States
may have received from the entry
men, as the price fixed by law for
the lands described in the patents?"
Another suit against the same com
pany is now pending in the local fed
eral district court. The Kovernment
is seeking to recover J33.000 from the
concern, alleging that the company
cut timber on government lands.

AFTER INAUGURATION.
Famine Reports From India Also
Influence Chicago Prices.
Further Export Demand.
CHICAGO, March 2. Freah upturns in
wheat prices took place today owing chiefly
to the European political strain. The mar
ket closed unsettled, 1c to e net higher,
with March 11.67 to II.U8 and May
I1.50U to $1.59 Vs. Corn finished c to lo
up and oh t at an advancn of &lc to
& Vzc. In provisions the outcome was
unchanged to 15c lower. -.
A general rush to the buy ins; side
brought a -harp advance in wheat in the
early trading;, but many holders realized
on the bulge and top prices failed to hold.
Further export demand was a factor in
strengthening; the market and so was nota
ble lightness "of rural offerings. Besides,
It vrm.H contended that European conditions
would force higher prices regardless of
whether or not there was crop damage in
the United States. Official famine reports
from India tended somewhat to emphasise
this view.
Corn and oats paralleled the action of
wheat. Export business In corn kept ud
anu domestic demand was fairly good.
selling by packers weakened provisions.
Tho Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company
of Portland said:
Wheat The advance in the market
early was attributed primarily to disquiet
ing European news. Buying power was
lacking, however, and toward the close
weak tone developed. There was evidence
of a further export demand. One-cargo
of Pacific coast wheat was sold to Portu
gal and a quantity of Manitoba wheat to
Scandinavia. Country offerings were light
and messages from the interior suggested
a disposition on the part of the farmer to
wait for higher prices. Further green-bug
stories were received, but were given little
consideration on account of thj optimistic
tone of trade journals. Among the bear
ish news items was the reported sale by
Kansas City of 150,000 bushels of wheat to
come to Chicago, together with sales of
50.000 bushels of wheat here to go into
store. There are many factors in the pres
ent situation which seem to assure fre
quent periods of strength, but the lack of
buying power suggests a downward ten
dency for the time being.
"Corn There was a good commission
house demand for the limited offerings
during the first hour, but toward mid
day contracts came out in larger volume
and the market weakened. Cash prices
were quotable lc to lVkc higher and the
trading basis vas firm. Shipping sales
were 0.000 bushels, 200.000 bushels to
exporters. The estimate of a leading"
statistician rr.ade farm reserves 1,305,000,
000 bushels, the largest on record and a
tremendous , amount to be disposed of.
The logical ' assumption is that country
selling will be heavy on all small bulges.
"Oats Trade in this pit was quite. act
ive, with buying led by northwester in
terests. The ensuing reaction was without
particular feature. Following the lead of
other grains, cash prices were c higher
and the trading basis a shade lower."

Vice-President Seeks Kest After
Arduous Duties as Governor
of Massachusetts.
THE OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, March 2. Vice-
President Coolidge plans an early
visit to the Pacific northwest for rest
and recreation, he informed Ralph
Williams, republican national com
mitteeman from Oregon, today. The
vice-president indicated that he ex
pected to make the trip soon after
his inauguration, planning to return
here before the extra session of con
gress convenes in April.
As nearly as possible his intention
is understood to be to make the jour
ney direct to the Pacific northwest
with few stops, passing a brief time
in the principal cities and meeting
the people who helped to roll up the
tremendous majorities for the Hard
ing and Coolidge ticket. Mr. Coolidge
is eager to see the west.
A lankee by birth, his life up to
this time has been passed in New
England, but he has admitted to some
of his political friends from the Pa
cific coast that he has felt an especial
interest in the far west since that
hot day in Chicago last June when
his name was suddenly thrown into
the contest for the vice-presidency by
Wallace McCamant of Portland. Ever
since that day, he says, he has been
desirous of getting better acquainted
with the northwestern country.
Mrs. Coolidge, it is understood, will
accompany him. The journey is in
tended as a rest from the arduous
duties of the Massachusetts governor
ship during the last two years and
during an energetic campaign for the
vice-presidency.
BILLS GET EVEN BREAK
Time of Introduction Unimportant
in Ratio of Enactments.
SALEM, Or.. March 2. (Special.)
The old saying among legislators
that lawmakers who introduce their
bills during the last few days of the
sessions fare better than those who
are in a hurry to get their offerings
on the floor for consideration, was
disproved in the records of the recent
legislative gathering.
Of the first 100 bills introduced in
the senate, 42 were enacted into laws,
while of the second 100 bills con
sidered. 52 were approved. Of the
third 100 measures Introduced, SI
became laws; while of the fourth 100
bills presented 53 received favorable
consideration. These figures would
indicate that the ratio of bills' ap
proved varied but slightly.

shippers. In spite of the hlgr. transporta
tion rates have continued to seek the for
eign outlet.
The receipts of apples 4n England from
the United States and Canada up to Jan
uary 27 of the current season totaled
1710. 163 barrels and 1,678.748 boxes, ac
cording to Information suDmitteo. oj i"
American agricultural trade commissioner
t London. The total receipts last sea
son amounted to -
1.8.W.7S9 boxes. The receipts at Liver
pool alone up to January -'i amounieu i
6S3.04U barrels and 4i0.1j boxes.
The season has naturally been cnar-
acterized by heavy shipments, and betore
Christmas English markets showed won
derful powers of absorption. Until that
time the net realizations on fruit arriving
In reasonably good condition were slightly
ahead of prices prevailing in the United
States markets.
Since early December there has been a
progressive shrinkage in the purchasing
power of the English public. This con
dition was no doubt anticipated by re
ceivers, and It Is believed that shippers
were warned that it would be more de
sirable to cut down shipments. The ex
tent of the crop, however, and the pres
sure to realize tended to maintain exports
on an unusually high level. As a result
markets were over-supplied during Jan
uary and prices were forced down.
Shipments of boxed apples from the
Pacific coast were on a moderate scale
early In the season. The maximum con
trolled price of 2:ls. 6d. per box went
Into effect the middle of November. In
view of the heavy transportation charges,
however, this figure did not prove attrac
tive to shippers on the coast. The neces
sity to realize has since made Itself felt,
with the result that boxed apples have
been going forward freely for some time
past.
One of the striking features of the
season was the unexpected competition en
countered by reason of heavy arrivals of
apples from the continent of Europe, at
tracted by the high prices prevailing in
England and the favorable rates of ex
change. Practically every market In ths
United Kingdom was glutted. The re
sulting slump combined with heavy trans
portation charges soon checked conti
nental shipments.
The trans-Atlantic rate of freight opened
at $2.50 per barrel and Toe per box. These
have since been reduced and now stand
at $1.75 per barrel and 60c per box.
