LAW VIOLATION CAUSE Last Chapter In Alleged Attempt of Capitalists to Monopolize Harbor Now Hoi loved to Have Been Tolil--Invetlgatlon Dropped. Jl'NEAC Alaska, April 20. The Juneau Land Office has notified Frank F. Davis, of Lake Mills. Wis.; Arnold L. Scheurer. of 320 Central Park. West New York City, and James J. Ryan, Katalla. Alaska, that their filing's soldiers' scrip on shore lands on Ct troller Bay, Alaska, have been rejeel because of noncompliance with the 1 of of Con Jected because of noncompliance with the law In the filings. The land was filed upon February 13. 111. on April 30. 1911. Senator La Foliette, of Wisconsin. Introduced a resolution in the I'nlted States Senate calling upon the Secretary of the In terior to furnish all facts connected with coal entries made upon lands withdrawn from the Chugach National Forest Reserve in Alaska, and later restored to the public domain under order of President Taft. "Syndicate lavolved. It was alleged In newspaper articles about this time that Richard S. Ryan, said to be a representative of the Uug- genheim-Morgan syndicate, has been permitted, through the connivance or President Taft and Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, to obtain control of the whole waterfront of Controller Bay the natural harbor for the shipment of coal from the Bering River fields. In July was published what purported to be a letter from Richard K. Kyan to Richard A. Ballinger concerning these lands. The letter began: "Dear Dick." and was signed "Dick." Both Ryan and Ballinger denied all knowl edire of the letter. The letter mentioned "Charley Taft as having used his Influence In favor of Ryan, and a committee of tho House began an Investigation of the Ryan claims. President Taft on October 10, 1911. sent a message to Congress re viewing the history of the setting apart of the Controller Bay. shore lands, and made an Indignant denial that his brother was In any way Interested. Charles P. Taft also made a vigorous denial and the Guggenheim-Morgan syndicate declared that Controller Bay was worthless- Last Chapter ovr Told. The Congressional committee sud denly dropped the Investigation and the local land office s action is expectea to be the last chapter of the story of the lleged attempt to monopolise Con troller Bay. The lands the filings upon which have been rejected are mud flats and are said to be of no value for any pur pose. James J. Ryan Is a. brother of Richard S. Ryan. MOTLEY VOTES ARE CAST Where Option Is Left to Voter Manj Names Are Inserted. Almost every man ever heard of In Portland politics and many of minor National reputo were nominated for some office at the primaries Just past. In each precinct someone proposed a an or two not already on the oaiioi and some appeared to be In the minds of a number. Georse K. Chamberlain, for one. seemed to be the choice for Vlce-Trest-dent of a great many, for he appeared as a postscript to a number of returns from precincts. One man wanted Seneca routs tor Senator, another McKlnley Mltchcl for Vice-President, Oswald West was put up for the same position, Dan McAllen received a vote for the same, while some men were put up for nearly half the positions on the ballot. R. E. Menefee was wanted for Sen ator, while another voted for Eugene V. Deba for Secretary of Commerce and Labor. SELLING'S MARGIN NARROW Crook County and Central Oregon Vote for Roosevelt. BEND, , Or April 20. (Special.) Judging from returns from precincts on the west side of Crook County. Roosevelt has forged far ahead of Tart as the Republican choice for President. The Bend precincts show 70 for Roose velt. 47 for Taft and 43 for La Foliette. On the Democratic ballot Wilson snd Clark break even. Although it is diffi cult to get returns from the Isolated country districts, -it Is believed Roose velt will sweep Central Oregon, aourne has been defeated by Helling by a close margin. Slnnott will beat Cochran in the Congressional race In the Second District. Claude Covey, of Warm Springs, Is .conceded the Democratic nomination. Olcott was inaorsea nere for another term aa Secretary of State, Harry Lane got more votes ror tne Democratic Senatorshtp nomination han all his opponents put together. RETURNS ON DELEGATES GIVEN Incomplete Results I-roni Dozen Counties Are Received.

Then we talked of other things, neither wishing to be first to suggest the mad Idea. Then we read In the guide-book: "Biskra to Touggourt. about ISO miles: a track possible for wheeled traffic, but sandy In parts, and swampy in places In bad wather: it would be imprudent to ven ture, upon It on a bicycle or in an au tomobile." Next day we looked again, snd at last one of us put the thought of both into words: "Well. I suppose we shall have to try Itl" . . . The modest traveler, like oursedve. soon discovers that It is not the sandy plain of his schood days. He finds, from time to time, great or little spreading mounds, or dunes, of golden sand called "barchans" in which only a camel does not sink ankle, deep, and these, wind-created and wind-Impelled, move forward almost like live things. Engineers employed In laying our des ert railways have made costly, and ven fatal, mistakes by not recogniz ing the fact, now established, that "desert dunes are not anchored or sta tionary hills of sand, but mobile masses, advancing at a very appre ciable, rate In a definite direction." These dunes begin, to move, according to another scientific observer, as soon as a light breeze blows; the air Is per ceptibly charged with sand in a mod erate bree,ze: and during storms their progress may be nearly two inches an hour, while their average advance Is Bo feet a year. Many a once flourish ing oasis Is now burled forever be peatb the great san dunes, which, "ever elowly widening, silence all": nothing stops their Insidious advance: "in some localities extensive and prosperous settlements have been overwhelmed and blotted out of existence.- They form, however, but a minute part of the surface of the desert. This is a mass of gypsum, clay and stones, dot ted over every few yards with mounds from six inches to three feet high. The origin of these is a tough bush of a kind of succulent' samphire, with a small cream-colored acacia-Uke flower, and tamarisk with woody stem and gray leaf. Thepe grow very slowly in dense close bosses, and the sand drifts and packs into them, forming a solid mass. But for these an automobile could travel fast In almost any direc tion. As it Is, to go a hundred yards, a score or more of them have to be leveled, and since it takes five min utes" hard labor with the shovel to level a single one. any lengthy prog ress is very slow and fatiguing.

He said: "I cannot understand this Senatorial Inquiry. They are going at It in a manner that seems unjust, and the in justice lies heaviest upon me. Why, cannot even protect myself by having my counsel ask questions. Don t mis understand me by thinking I mean questions calculated to twist wltnesse up; on the contrary, questions tending to simplify Involved meantings. Discussing his departure from the Ti tanlc, Ismay said: "I have searched my mind with deep est care. I have thought long over each single incident that I could recall. am sure that I did nothing that I should not have done. My conscience is clear, and I have not been a lenient Judge of my acts.
