The Washington papers have gone to the extent of declaring that there is graft at Panama and that a sweeping investigation will be made by Con gress. The canal people strenuously deny this and intimate that the trans continental railroads have a lobby al ready at work trying to discredit the canal enterprise. It is significant that whenever the Eastern newspapers are especially vigorous in demanding railroad rate legislation such agitation is invaria bly followed by sensational stories from Panama calculated to turn pub lic attention in that direction. The source of the information regarding the alleged terrible conditions on the isthmus is concealed, but many stories lie hoi The Fair. There" have been frequent inquiries as to when the Roseburg land office will be opened for business. There is no information to be given out more than that the office is still clcsed. That is, no receipts are be ing issued: no tilings placed of record and no proofs ordered made, but fil ings may be made at any time. Spe cial agent H. EL Higby is in charge of the office and filings made are ac knowledged by him and the papers are filed with the date when received. When finally the register and re ceiver are appointed and the office is open for business these filings will be taken up and passed upon in their regular order. I'ntil the office is opened persons who have made tilings have nothing to do but wait.
