As the re sult of an appeal by more than 30 ap plicants for homesteads tn the Malheur National forest, Thomas O. Sherman, in charge of national forest land ap peals at Washington, la scheduled to arrive In the John Day valley about the middle of this month. Mr. Sherman will make a personal examination of the claims, and will report his findings direct to the secretary of agriculture, whose decision in such matter" la final. Mr. Sherman will be accompanied on this trip by a member of the district forester's office at Portland, Super visor Bingham of the Maiheur national forest, and an attorney w ho has been retained by the homestead applicants. The lands covered by the rejected applications lie in what Is known as Logan valley, which Is a small moun tain valley in the Strawberry range of the Blue mountains. 'he valley con tains approximately 7000 acres of bot tom land and sagebrush ridges. The elevation of the valley Is approxi mately 5000 feet. The valley is Iso lated during the winter months owing to the great depth of snow. Some Applications Blade. During the' last three years appli cations under the forest homestead act of June 11. 1906, were filed with the district forester at Portland' by resi dents of the John Day valley covering practically all the land in Ve valley. These applicants were rejected by the forest service on the ground that the land was more valuable for forest purposes than for agriculture. Little timber grows in the valley, but the land is used extensively for graz ing purposes under fore3t grazing per mits. It Is the contention of the for est service that owing to poor soil. severe climatic conditions, etc., the land -is not suited to agricultural de velopment. One of the earlier applications was approved. William Ralph Fisk of Prairie City was the applicant in this case. During the summer of 1915 he established a home on his claim and made a creditable showing in the way of crops. On the strength of this show ipg the other 30 odd applicants en gaged an attorney to appeal their cases. In the meantime the secretary of ag riculture had assigned a forest officer to make a detailed examination of the entire valley with a view of classify ing the land. On the strength of the findings of this special examiner the secretary classified the land as non listable under the forest homestead act. The attorney for the rejected appli cants prepared a petition setting forth the results attained In the valley by Mr. Fisk and requesting a review of the secretary's decision. The petition was signed by 370 residents of Grant county. The applicants were finally granted a review or the secretary's decision, and Mr. Sherman lias been detailed to make an exhaustive study of the situa tion with a view to properly and per manently classifying the land.

DISTRICT IS ALL ACTIVE Operations Property Were Suspended Twenty Tears Ago After Produc tion of Three million Dollars. Baker, Or., May 13. Manager Albert Geiser of the Connor Creek mine this week brought a gold brick to the First National bank. Though', the weight of the ingot was not made public, bank officials said it was some brick. Brining of a gold ingot to a bank Is not in itself an uncommon occur rence, but this transaction was signifi cant in that it marked the first con crete evidence of- the success In the operation of the mine since 20 years ago, when work was halted after the property had produced over $3,000,000. About a year ago Mr. Geiser, his brother Frank and associates secured control of the property, installed a small mill and cyaniding plant and were scoffed at. Albert Geiser made the foundation of several fortunes In the old Bonanza mine and knew his game. Development work was followed by blocking out the first ore mined from the property in nearly a quarter of a century. Mr, Geiser is reticent about the de tails of his prospects, but with his first clean-up estimated as worth about $4000, mining men believe that he has succeeded beyond hopes in put ting the old mine back on the paying list C Not only Is the Connor Creek mine being successfully worked, bat there is a life and activity In the entire Snake River district, such as has not been noted for many years. The high price of copper is largely responsible and the Irondyke, developed by years of work and heavy investment, has at last be gun to pay. It is shipping regularly to the Salt Lake smelter, as are the MacDougall claims, Arkansaw, Mineral and other Snake river copper proper ties. The Porcupine group under de velopment by the Cornucopia Mines company is another property that ex perts say will rival some of the big gest copper mines in the west the next few years. Miners Get Bonus. Wallace, Idaho, May Z.- Nearly $125,000 In gold was received here to be distributed among 4000 miners in the Coeur d'Alene district as a bonus for their work during the month of April. The bonus for each miner amounts to about $1 a day. The bonus system, adopted by the mine operators February 1, Is governed by the prices of the metals produced- mostly gold, copper and silver. For March the miners received 75 cents a day bonus. Merchants throughout the mining district report that business has prac tically doubled since the inauguration of the bonus system. Gold Hill Is Active. Gold Hill, Or., May 13.- The mining industry is coming to the front in Gold Hill. Thursday two miners came in with a good-sized gold nugget which they showed to many local residents. It was the result of several weeks' work on their claim near this city. The Beaver cement plant is erecting a large smoke stack that will practi cally complete the new ovens. This plant will be one of the leading in dustries pf Gold Hill. Sixty men are wprking around the plant, and more will be added. Dr. W. P. Chisholm, operating in the Meadows district near Oold Hill, has opened a deposit of cinnabar. Two men working have uncovered more than five feet of good pay ore running be tween four and five per cent. The past week saw several small shipments to San Francisco. A large retort will soon be put in at the Chisholm prop erty. Fruit Growers Ask For Surplus Fund Spokane, Wash., May 13. To build up an operating surplus, members of the Spokane Fruit Growers' company, a semi-cooperative body. covering most of the Inland Empire, at a meet ing here today decided upon a special levy against each box of fruit mark eted, in addition to handling charges. This is done to enable growers to buy supplies wholesale, establish storage facilities similar to those of Hood River growers and to control the mar ket, v Handling charges on the last croo of apples amounted to 12V4ca box. and the extra operating fund toll will not exceed 10 cents a box. Grow ers also plan pea trrowinir in vouni? orchards, and the establishment of canneries, furnishing- half the capi tal for the latter while the eastern promoter offers to furnish the other half.

CLARKE COUNTY ASKS I E Motor Truck and Machine Owners Say They Are Put to Much Inconvenience. Vancouver, Wash., May 13. As a re sult of his recent visit to Vancouver and Clarke county the attorney general has been asked by Prosecuting Attor ney James O. Blair to make several rulings on the automobile code, which went into effect last year and which is this year causing automobile and truck owners considerable trouble and expense because of certain interpre tations of its provisions. Applications Held Up. County Auditor May It. Haack Is at present holding up the applications of two of the rural route carriers, who were compelled by Mr. McCalley to take out truck licenses at $10 each for their touring cars, which were used on the routes and for which the car riers had secured pleasure car li censes. The $3 fee for pleasure car licenses Is lost, to them, no credit be ing allowed them In making the trans fer. A different construction of the code's provisions is being made this year than last year, and In some Instances it is costing owners a considerable amount of money. Last year an owner trans ferring his machine from one classifi cation to another which required a higher fee was given credit for the amount previously paid and upon pay ing the difference between the two and an additional sum of 50 cents for tho transfer, could secure the higher clas sification license. Credit Hiven for Stuns Paid. This year it is held that the original amount paid is lost and no credit Is given, thereby working an injustice to some, it is claimed. Fred It. Stipe, a local man, first secured a pleasure ve hicle license for a runabout, this cost ing him $3. Later he put on a small truck body and was compelled to take out a truck license at $10, receiving no credit for the original amount paid. Only recently he secured a contract to make deliveries for another business man, this requiring a "ror nire trues license, which cost him $20. He re ceived no credit for the previous amounts paid, he says. Murder Cost Bill High. Vancouver, Wash., May 13. Tbe cost bill of the case of the state of Wash ington against Charles A.
