LAW FOR EXPOSITIONS.
Foreign Exhibits Must Be Returned or
Pay Duty.
Washington. July 23. Foreign ex
hibita brought into the United States
for display At the St. Louis exposition
will, under a recent ruling of the treas
ury department, be exempt from duty,
provided tbey are, at the close of the
exposition, taken out of the coantry in
the same condition in which they en
tered. This is a customary ruling re
garding foreign exhibits at all expo
sitions where foreign manufactures snd
products are provided for, and similar
instructions will be lesaed one year
hence regarding Oriental exhibits that
are brought to Portland lor the Lewis
and Clsrk exposition.., In the esse of
foreign exhibits which Are to be sold
in this country, however, the usual rev
enue charge will be made, as such goods
Are regarded as pure importations for
commercial purposes, and naturally a
Urge percentage of the foreign exbibits
will never be returned to their owners
abroad.
In order to be exempt from duty,
goods for the exhibition must be re
ceived in bond at the first portcf entry
into this country and sent in bonded
cars direct to the exposition grounds,
where tbey will be continued in bond
until the close of the exposition. At
that time, they must be repacked in
their, original parking and returned
through the same port at which tbey
were entered. The ruling, it is said.
will require the presence within the St.
Louis exposition grounds of upwards of
500 revenue officers, inspectors and
supervisors, and At Portland of a pro
portionately smaller number, to be reg
ulated by the size of the Oriental ex
hibit. At St. Louis and at Portland certain
classes of goods will be subject to re
lease without duty, such as personal
supplies for use of the foreign commis
sioners within the limits of the expo
sition, free samples of merchandise to
be distributed by foreign contributors,
and Advertising matter in the form of
literature.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
NEW LAND LAW DEFECTIVE.
State Board Believes Old Act Still in
Operation.
Application has been made to the
state land board for the purchase of
a tract of school land located within
the boundaries ot one or the proposed
forest reserves in Eastern Oregon
This land has been withdrawn from
sale by the state land board for tbe
reason that If the reserve should be
created the land would probably be
more valuable for "base" than for
sale ag.Mhool land. TSe applicant in
this case contends, however, that tbe
board has ro right to refuse to sell
any school land when the legal price.
$2.50 per acre, has been tendered.
The state land board, in considering
the question, has discovered that
there Is a defect In the title of the
act of the last legislature which
makes it doubtful whether the legisla
ture, raised the price of school land
to $2.50 per acre and required the
board to sell at that price. The title
of the act refers only to Indemnity
land, while, the act Itself applies to
both. Indemnity and school land.
Tbe board is Inclined to the opin
ion that so much of the act ns
applies to school land is inop
erative, and that the old law Is
atlll n force on that subject. The old
law authorized the board to sell
school land at any price not less than
$1.25 per acre. ' Under that law the
board could withdraw the land from
sale, er could fix the price at $2.50,
which was intended by the legisla
ture. ,
If the land should be placed in a
forest reserve, and could be used as a
base, it would be worth $5 an acre
For that reason purchasers are anx
ious to get it. and the state land board
is desirous of holding it. The ques
tion of law Involved will be submit
ted to the attorney-general for his
opinion.
Work Begins on Expensive Barn.
Work has commenced on the new
and modern $7000 barn to be erected
on the grounds of the Eastern Oregon
experiment station at Union. The
flrst story will be constructed of cut
stone, and the superstructure of wood.
Twelve men are now employed laying
the foundation. The , building Is lo
cated on the southern part of the 620
acre farm owned by the state, and
not far from the main line of the O.
It. ft N. where It rounds Hutchinson
Point. The building will have cement
floors and will be of a very pleasing
architectural design, and will be used
for experimenting lit ta-development
of thoroughbred livestock.
Crops In Lane County.
While there has been much com
plaint about unfavorable weather and
many farmers have expressed the be
lief that crops of all kinds would be
light, there is now a change to the al
truistic view of the situation la Lane
county. Conditions are turning out
much better than anybody believed a
few weeks ago. Probably the most
elated of all the producers are those
who have orchards. Conditions for
years past have been more or les
discouraging to the horticulturist and
only the strong hearted have been
able to bear up against the repeated
failures of prune crops especially.
Clatskamle-Mlst Road Surveyed.
The survey has been completed for
a new location of the wagon road be
tween Clatskanie and Mist. The new
road will be built on a 6 per cent
grade, making an easy ascent up this
side of the mountain. Money is being
subscribed to make the improvement,
and the work will be finished at an
early date. The Improvement will be
an Important one, ag this road Is the
only outlet by which a number of
sawmills in the Lower Nehalem get
their products to the railroad.
Smoky Pall Reappears.
The pall of smoke which annually
visits the Southern Oregon moun
tains, screening the pine-covered
ranges from view and shadowing the
entire Southern Oregon country. Is
making Its appearance. A few minor
fires have already been observed in
the surrounding mountains, though
none of them have occurred In the
heavily timbered districts. A strict
er vigilance will be kept this year
than usual, and It is not likely that
the dreadful fires of last summer will
be repeated.

APPROPRIATION SHORT.
Money to Pay Indian War Veterans Has
been Exhausted.
The appropriation of $100,000 made
by the last legislature for the payment
of the Indian War veterans will all be
exhausted by the payment of claims
already filed, and over son riainmnt
must wall until the next legislature
appropriates money before they can
get their pay. The unpaid claims will
aggregate some 150.000 an that tim
total amount paid out on this account
win ne iisu.ooo. As it had become
apparent In the last few days that the
apnrODriation would anrin ha avhanat.
ed, Secretary of State Dunbar asked
me attorney-general ror advice as to
the course be should nnrsne with
gard to the claims that come In after
tne too,ooo has been expended.
Attorney-General Crawford has ren
dered an onlnion In which he how
that the secretary of state haa no au-
luuruy io auan toe claims or issue
warrants after the nnnmnrlaH nn la
exhausted. This ,meanB that until the
legislature makes another appropria
tion, those whose claims are not al-
reaay on nie in the office of the sec
retarv of state will hiv r, wi
claim against the state.
Section 2398 of the code nrnvlrl.a
that the secretary nf otnta ohoii nn
issue a warrant except when an ap
propriation is available for the pay
ment of the same. It also provides
that where a claim haa been I
in pursuance of authority of law, but
no appropriation has been made, or,
Is made, has been exhausted, the sec
retary shall audit the claim and Issue
a certificate as evidence that the
claim has been allowed. The attorney-general
holds that the Tnrllan war
claims do not come under any of
tnese classes and that, therefore, the
secretary has no power to Issue war
rants or even certificates. He can rln
nothing but receive the claims and
seep tnem on nie until the next legis
lature meets, when he will report
them to that, bodv for thlr
atlon.
The Indian War veterana' flalmn
were not incurred In nnraiianoo nf
any law of the state of Oregon, but
were incurred under the territorial
government. The United States gov
ernment assumed all tha lnlhlHHoa nf
the territory when the etate was ad
mitted, and ror, that reason the vet
erans had no legal claim ne-nlnnr the
state. The annronrlatlon ia helri
therefore, to be the measure of the
amount for which the secretary may
audit claims.
New Mine for OaHce Creek.

Working on Rainbow Mine.
The Rainbow mine in Doglaa coun
ty will in the near future be among

OLD LOUISIANA BONDS.
Issue Which Paid for Territory to Be
Shewn at St Louis.
Washington, July 22. One of the
most , interesting bistroical exhibits to
be made at the St. Louis exposition
next year will be a collection of can
celled bonds need in payment for the
Louisiana Territory. These old papers
were recently foind in the treasury de
partment by Chief ClerkpHIls.
A history of the payment has been
compiled by R. A. Bayley, of tbe treas
ury department, who statesjthat among
the national loans of the United States
was one known as "LouislartA 0 per
cent stock," issued in 1804. Mr. Bay
ley says:
"This loan was contracted to pay
France for ths province of Louisiana,
ceded to the United States by that
power April 30, 1803. According to
tho conetroctioA of the United States,
the cession by Fianee included all the
region between ths Slst parallel and
the Gulf of Mexico, And between tbe
Mississippi river And tbe Perdido river,
now tbe western boundary of the state
of Florida. The United States had
heavy demands on France for spolia
tions committed on American commerce
during the pievions ten years. The
amount of these claims was estimated
at $5,000,000. The first proposal of
the rrench minister was that tbe
United States should pay for the pro
vince of Louisiana 100.000,000 francs,
and take upon themselves the payment
of tbe claims for spoliation, but the
amount was finally fixed at $15,000,-
000, of which 1 ranee was to receive
$11,250,000 in United States bonds, pay
able in 15 years, and bearing interest
at the rate of 6 per cent. The remaind
er, amounting 0 $3,750000. was to
be devoted to reimbursing American
citizens for French depredations on
their commerce. The treaty was con
firmed by the senatf of the United
States, hut was. the occasion of An ex
tended debate io the house of represen
tatives. The act to issue the stock in payment
for the territory, which became known

Rome, July 20. Pope Leo XIII is
dead. The last flicker of life expired
at 4 minutes past 4 o'clock this after
noon and tbe pontiff now lies at rest.
Tonight tbe emaciated and lifelesi
frame which held solbrave a spirit liea
on the bed in the Vatican, beside which
almost all tbe world haa prayed. The
red damask coverlet rests lightly over
the body, the cardinal's scarlet cape is
about the shoulders, while on his head
has been placed the papal hood of vel
vet, bordered with ermine. A white
silk handkerchief it bound About his
chin, And in the hands that have)
blessed so many thousands has been
placed a crucifix. 8c Pope Leo will le-

POPE LEO XIII.
will lie in state. The nltimate resting
place ot the dead pontiff will be in the
magnificent basilica of St. John tbe
Lateran.
Pope Loo's final momenta were
marked by tbat same serenity and de
votion, and, when he was conscious,
that calm intelligence, which is asso
ciated with his 26 years' pontificate.
His was no easy death. An hour be
fore be died, turning to Dr. Lapponi
and his devoted valet, Pio Centra, he
murmured:
"Tbe pain I suffer is most terrible."
Yet bis psrtiog words were not of
the physical anguish that he suffered,
but were whispered benedictions upon
the cardinals and his nephews, who
knelt at the bedside, and the last look
of his almost sightless eyes was toward
tbe great ivory crucifix hanging in the
death chamber.
Practically all tbe cardinals now in
Rome, kneeling at tbe bedside, watched
the passage of his soul. Earlier in tho
day Cardinal Peraflno Vannutelli bad
impressively announced the absolution
in articnio mortis.
The condition ef his holiness varied
from agony to coma. Wishing to re
lieve him, Dr. Mszzoni snpgested that
morphine should be administered.
