Price er Prove, Utah.
President Roosevelt on July 15
signed the proclamation providing
for the opening to homesteaders and
town site entry of the unallotted
lands in the great Uintah Reserva
tion in Utah.
The reservation contains 3.445,
000 acres, but the Military and for
estry reserves and such mineral
lands as have been withdrawn un
der existing laws will leave 1,069,
000 acres available lor entry.
Registration for the land will
commence August 1st and close
August 1 2th. Registration may be
made at Grand Junction, Colo.,
and Vernal, Price and Provo, Utah.
Prospective settlers may register at
any one of these places from 9:00
a. m., Tuesday, August 1st, until
6:00 p. m. Saturday, August 12th.
To obtain registration, each ap
plicant must appear at one of the
registration places ' and show him
self duly qualified to make home
stead entry (160 acres) by written
application to be made only on a
blank form provided by the com
missioner of the general land office.
Registration cannot be effected
through the mails or by an agent,
except in the case of honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors, who
may present their applications and
due proofs of their qualifications
through an agent of their own se
lection, having a duly executed
power of attorney, on a blank for
that purpose provided by the com
missioner. No person will be per
mitted to act as agent for more than
one soldier or sailor, and no one I
will be allowed to register more
than once or in any other than his
true name.
Each applicant who shows him
self qualified will be registered and
given a non-transferable certificate
that will entitle him to examine the
lands to be opened, but only for the
purpose of enabling him later on to
nnderstandingly select the lands
tor which he may make entry.
No one will be permitted to settle
on any of the lands In advance of
the opening, and for sixty days af
ter none but registered applicants
will be allowed to make homestead
settlements.
The order in which during the
first sixty days following the open
ing, the registered applicants will
be permitted to make homestead
entries will be determined by a pub
drawing to be held at Provo, Utah,
commencing at 9 a. m., on Thurs
day, August 17th, and continuing
as long as it is necessary. Prepara
tory to the drawing, the registration
officers will, at the time of registra
tion of each applicant, make out a
card, which must be signed by the
applicant, giving such a descrip
tion ot him as will enable the local
land officers to thereafter identify
him. This card will be placed in a
plain sealed envelope, with no dis
tinguishable marks, beyond the
the label, to show that it is to go
into the drawing. When the re
gistration is complete the envelopes
will be brought together at the
place of the drawing (Provo, Utah)
and turned over to the committee
in charge, who will conduct the
d 1 awing In such manner as they
see fit, the only provision being
that it shall be attended with en
tire fairness and equality of oppor
tunity. Each envelope will be opened as
it is drawn, and the enclosed card
given a number showing the order
in which it was drawn. Notice of
the drawing, stating the name of
each applicant and the number as
signed to him, will be posted each
day, and each applicant will be no
tified of his number and the day on
which he must make his entry at
Vernal by a postal card mailed to
the address given when he regis
tered.

a. m., August 28th. The applica
tions of those drawing land num
bers from 1 to 50, inclusive, must
be presented at the land office at
Vernal. Utah, and will be consider
ed in their numerical order during
the first day. The applications of
those drawing numbers 51 to 100,
inclusive, must be presented on the
will Jnv and so n until atl of
the numbers have been disposed of.
If any applicant fails to present
his application when his number is
called, his right to enter will be
passed until the close of that day.
If he does not then appear, he will
be deemed to have abandoned his
right to entry. At the end ofsixty
days any land remaining undis
posed of may be settled upon under
ths government homestead law.
Persons who make homestead en
try for any of these lands opened
will be required to pay therefor
at the rate of ji.35 per acre,
upon making final proof, but no
payment, other than the usual
fees and commissions, will be re
quired at the time the entry is
made.
Mineral lands will not be sub
ject to entry under the lottery, and
none of these can be had inside of
60 days from August 28, after
which time they will be subject to
entry under the mineral land laws.
Any person desiring to establish
a towusile within the reservation
may at any time before the opening
file a written application in the
land office, describing the lands af
fected and stating fully and under
oath the necessity or propriety of
founding a town at that place.
These applications will be consider
ed by the commissioner of the gen
eral land office, and if he believes
the public interest will be subserved
thereby he will, at the approval of
the Secretary of the Interior, with
draw the described lands from
homestead entry and settlement, to
be disposed of under the townsite
laws.
The reservation is reached only
by the Denver & Rio Grande Sys
tem, by way of Mack, Colorado,
and the Unitah Railway to Dragon,
Utah, thence by stage, 61 miles, to
Vernal, Utah, or by way of Price,
Utah, and stage, 129 miles to Ver
nal, where is located the land office
where final entry has to be made.

through trains will make connec
tion at Mack, Colorado, with the
trains of the Unitah Railway, and
at Price with stage line for Vernal,
Utah. Further details, such as
train times, time of stage lines,
rates of fare, etc., etc., may be ob
tained from representatives of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad.
Another Divorce Filed.
Last - Monday Elaine Wickham
filed papers in the clerk's office in a
suit for divorce against her hus
band, Alfred Wickham, and al
leges that the two were married in
Vancouver, Wash., on or about the
13th day of December, 1901, and
have ever since been and are now
husband and wife. She states that
she has been a continuous resident
of Oregon for more than a year,
and that she now lives in Multno
mah county. That the defendant
deserted her in 1903 and has ever
since remained away from her.
She wants a separation, the custody
ofa 3-year-old daughter, who is
with its mother, and f 30 per month,
until she should again marry, a
contract to this effect having been
made between the two. Under
this agreement she waives right ti
tle, interest or claim in law or
equity, including dower and right
of dower to all real estate and per
sonal property belonging to the de
fendant. Last Friday four steamboats car
ried nearly 2000 excursionists from
Portland to the Cascade Locks. A
special train of twelve cars was
chartered to take the overflow
crowd for whom there was no room
on the boats.

LINCOLN'S HOME
AT PORTLAND
AT THE LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR
Many Pictures, Letters ana' Other
Document. Illustrative sf the
Lit f tn Gr.i Zr.'.n.:ilir.
Any one who is interested in the
life of Abraham Lincoln may find
much to engage his attention in
the Illinois building at the Lewis
and Clark exposition. The build
ing itself is an exact reproduction
of the Lincoln homestead at Spring
field, III., the only home ever
owned by the martyred president.
Every room is reproduced in its ex
act size, and in the front parlor the
visitor is told just where Lincoln
stood on that day in the fall ot i860
when he was notified that he had
been elected president of the United
States.
In the rear parlor, which con
nects with the front one by a wide
archway, is a collection of pictures
and documents of vivid interest to
those who like to study things of
historic value. The lile of Lincoln
is represented by pictures and let
ters, the latter either in the origi
nal or in fac-simile, from his birth
to his assassination. The rude lit
tle log cabin in Kentucky, where
he was born, is shown with por
traits of his parents; pictures of
Lincoln at various times in his ca
reer, most of them showing him
without beard, for it was not until
after he became president that Lin
coln let his whiskers grow; letters
written by Lincoln in his youth,
his earlier public life and during
his presidency; and also pic
tures of his intimate friends and
associates, and of other noted men
whose public lives were interwov
en with his own. I
The Illinois historical exhibits
are collected and installed by Mrs.
Jessie Palmer Weber, secretary of
the Illinois Historical Society and
a daughter of the late Gen. John
M. Palmer, who was governor of
Illinois, United States senator and
candidate for president of the gold
democratic ticket in 1896. Mrs.
Palmer has returned to Illinois, but
the hostess of the building, Miss
Mary L. Berkley, is on hand at all
times to extend the hospitality of
the state to exposition visitor.
Executive Commissioner Fred H.
Hand, of Cambridge, 111., is in
charge ot the building.
The public is free to go through
the house, spending as much time
as may be desired in studying the
various pictures and reading the
letters and other documents in the
handwriting of Lincoln, Grant,
Palmer, Alexander II. Stephens,
Stephen A. Douglas, John A. Lo
gan and other famous men of the
period. Upstairs, over the front
parlor, is the room where Mr. and
Mrs. Lincoln slept. This room,
furnished to correspond to the liv
ing room ot the Lincoln household,
is occupied in the Portland replica
of the house as a sitting room for
guests.
Adjoining the Lincoln home, Il
linois has built a cosy structure
called the Rest Pavilion, with a
wide open porch in front. Com
fortable chairs on this veranda in
vite the exposition visitors who
may find it agreeable to take a rest.
The salmon run in the lower
waters of Puget Sound is assuming
such proportions that the cannery
men are forced to engage a large
number of extra fishermen and can
nerymen. About 30 Chinese
passed through Tacoma this week
on their way to Blaine. The fore
man In charge of the men says that
the run is much larger than in sev
eral years before, aud that the can
nery pack this year will be the
largest in at least four years. He
stated that the canneries are utterly
unable to handle all the fish that
are being brought in.

A Narrow Escape.
Caught in mid-air like a rabbit in
a snare and whipped by the cars of
a swiftly moving freight train, Al
ex Lundenden was badly hurt
one day last week.
. Lundenden is a brakeman and
stood on a box-car near the head of
the train as it approached the out-
I skirts ot Bridgport. An overhead
bridge spans the tracks at this point.
On either side of it are what is
known as "tell tales," consisting of a
fringe rope of leather overhanging
the tracks to strike and warn train
men in time for them to avoid strik
ing the bridge as they pass under
it.
It was dark when Lundenden ad
vanced over the train, and he sud
denly felt the warning sting ot the
"tell-tale." As he crouched, he
threw up one hand. A thong of
the "tell-tale" whirled around bis
wrist, and Lundenden was dragged
off his feet. The thong held him
with the grip of a slip-noose.
Dangling over the train, the
brakeman sustained a series of
stunning jolts. The thong was of
sufficient length to drop his body
for an instant between the cafs.
As the train rushed on the roof of
each successive car delivered its
blow. His body was whirled and
tossed about, and he said later that
he feared his arm would be drawn
from the socket by the fearful strain.
There was danger at every blow
that the thong might part and drop
him between the cars and under
the wheels. Unconsciousness put
an end to his misery. Trainmen in
the caboose heard a clatter over
head and found Lundenden lying
on the roof. The thong had parted
just as the last car was reached.
Lundenden was taken to Bridge
port hospital on the arrival ot the
train. His shoulder had been dis
located, and his forearm twisted, in
addition to contusions on his body.
Fopnlar and Picturesque.
The only thing necessary to make
the Denver and Rio Grande the
most popular, as it has ever been
known the most pleasant and most
picturesque way to cross the conti
nent, has come about. This is the
establishment of through sleeping
car service.
In connection with the O. R, &
N., a through Pullman Standard
Sleeper is now run from Portland
to Denver, leaving Portland at 8:1s
p. m., arriving at Salt Lake at 8:40
a. m., the second morning, leaving
Salt Lake at 3:50 p. m., and arriv
ing at Denver 4:20 p. m., the fol
lowing day. This schedule gives
passengers seven hour-stop over in
Salt Lake, affording an opportunity
to visit the Mormon Capital as well
as a day light ride through the
grandest scenery in the world.

for illustrated booklets picturing
the scenery contiguous to the Den

$1,000.00 FINE
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
SENTENCE OF JUDGE DeHAVEN
John H. Mitchell Sentenced Tuea.
dayFerever Barred from Held
ln Offla.-.WUI Aeeeal.
Senator John II . Mitchell was on
Tuesday sentenced to six months
in the county jail of Multnomah
county and to pay a fine of $l,ooo.
In sentencing Mr. Mitchell, Judge
De Haven said:
"The statute under which ths Indict
ment in this case was found provides
that every person offending against Its
provisions shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall be imprisoned
not more than two years and fined not
more than $10,000, and shall moreover
by conviction thereof be rendered for
ever thereafter incapable of holding any
office of honor, trust or profit under tiie
government of the United States.
As I construe this language, the Judg
ment upon a verdict of conviction mutt
be both fine and imprisonment, but the
court is given great discretion in fixing
the amount of the fine and the term of
i in prison men t. The imprisonment, if
for more than one year, may be in the
state prison, and In any case the court
may, by its Judgment, make the punish
ment only nominal.
In pronouncing judgment It is not my
purpose to comment upon the evidence
or to make any special reference to the
facts necessarily found by the jury in
returning their verdict. It will be suf
ficient to say that in reaching a conclus
ion as to the proper judgment to be giv
en, I have given consideration to the
age of the defendant, which may be
properly taken in account in mitigation
of punishment and to the fact that ths
offense is defined in the statue as a mis
demeanor and not as a felony, and to
the further fact that the legal effect of
the judgment is to forever disqualify
the defandant from holding any office
under the government of the United
States. In view ot this fact and contid
ering also the natnre ot the defendant's
offense, as disclosed by the evidence,
the judgment of the court is that the
defendant be lmpiisoned for the term
of tiz months in the count jail of Mult
nomah county, in this city, and pay a
fine in the sum of 11000.
Execution of this judgment will be
stayed for two days.

Daniel 8. Lamont Dead.
Daniel S. Lamout, former secre
tary of war, died at bis home at
Milbrook, Dutchess county New
York, Sunday night ot heart failure.
He had been out driving in the
the evening with his wife and ap
peared in the best of health. After
dinner he complained of feeling ill.
A physician was summoned and he
and in spite of heroic treatment Mr.
Lamont died within half an hour.
At the deathbed were Mrs. Lamont
and two daughters and several
guests.
Daniel Scott Lamont was born
February 9, 1851, in Cortlandville,
New York. He was educated at
the McGrawville union school and
college. He became a newspaper
reporter and in r885 was made pri
vate secretary to G rover Cleveland,
then governor of New York. When
the latter was elected president of
the United States, Lamont acted in
the same capacity during his entire
first term. Upon the reelection of
Mr. Cleveland, Lamont was ap
pointed secretaiy of war.
Lamont afterward became promi
nent in street railway interests and
in other railways, and was at the
time of his death vice-president of
the Northern Pacific and trustee in
many railroads and financial cor
porations. Hogging It.
John D. Rockefeller, through the
American Linseed Oil company,
has cornered the . flaxseed market
and compelled three big independ
ent mills to close at Buffalo, N. Y.
The price of linseed oil is to be ad
vanced 40 cents a gallon.
This advance will seriously affect
many industries, particularly those
oilcloth, linoleum, paints, oils, etc.,
and will undoubtedly cause a large
number of workmen to be thrown
out of employment.
It is estimated that by getting
control of the linseed oil industry
Rockefeller will make a profit of
about $20,000,000 on an investment
of between $8,000,000 and $ 10,000
000. It is also estimated that factories
representing an invested capital of
$500,000,000 and their workmen
have been placed within the power
of the Standard Oil company by the
control of the linseed oil industry
by Rockefeller.
Wheat Damaged.
The hottest wave ever experienc
ed in the Palouse country has been
on for the past week at Garfield,
Wash. Senator R. C. McCroskey,
the wheat king of the Palouse coun
try, says he is being damaged
$1,000 a day. James Walters and
Mr. Gilliam, both big wheat grow
ers say that so far spring sown
grain, both wheat and oats, is
damaged 25 per cent and if the hot
spell continues the damage will be
50 per cent. The fall sown wheat
so far is but little damaged, as it is
to far advanced.
