In Brussels fnctorlcs which woro damaged during tho Gorman occu pation nro being fitted with machin ery, and somo of them ulready are turning out tholr accustomed pro ducts to within a fow per cent of tho pro-wnr capacity. Production of sugar exceeds tho pro-wnr tonnago. Glass factories are reopening. In tho iron and steel mills many plants havo resumed op erations, particularly in the Llego district, whore some of tho mills woro completely demolished and oth ers so badly damaged that entire blast furnaces had to bo rebuilt. Within a yoar, it Is believed, tho most Important of these plants will bo oporatlng to capacity. Tho cotton trade of Ghont also has rosuu'iod, and steamers loadod with Amorlcnn cotton aro arriving almost dally. During tho Gorman occupa tion all coppor fittings wero remov ed from tho machines In tho spin nine factories, and somo1 of thoso hnvo not yot boon replaced.

Even butter Is being served In tho hotels, and In every house thoro is no longer the fear of starvation which for bo many years made life a burden.

A splondl dtrlbuto to tho loglslatlvo Industry and ability of Congressman N. J. SInnott of Ore gon was paid him on tho floor of tho houBo by Congressman Scott Forrls of Oklahoma, when ho stated that SInnott was tho best chairman that the committee on public lands had ovor had. Tho trlbuto, which was warmly applauded, was all tho moro gra cious and forceful on account of tho fact that Congressman Perrls had himself boon chairman of this big commlttco for soveral years prior to tho present session of con gress. Ho is chairman of the Na tional Congressional Democratic committee, at tho present time, as well as ranking minority member of tho Public Lands committee. ' Tho compliment to tho Oregon member was mado during remarks by the Oklahoma congressman on the m .: oral land leasing bill now being ron sldercd by the house; nnd appears In tho Congressional Record as fol- "Tho gentleman from Oregon (Mr. SInnott) Is entitled to the very greatest credit. Ho spent nights and nights and tedious nights they were, In tho most thorough investigation In connection with this hill. The gentlomnn has always been active on tho commlttoe, but this year he has assumed tho responsibility wf tho chairmanship with all the form applies, and Is really the best chair man tho commlttco has ever had." Tho mineral land leasing bill i which Is now before tho House of Representatives and in charge of "tWa centlemnn from Oregon," Is ono of tho most importnnt bills be fore congress. It provides in place of tho present moro or less archaic mining laws In regard to coal, gas. oil, shale .phosphates and sodium, for a system of leasing this charac ter of mineral lands now remaining in tho public domain to those who develop them and pay a royalty to the United States for this privilege. The administration of tho law is loft largely In tho hands of tho secretary of tho Interior and ho Is empowered to fix tho amount of this royalty, provided It Is not less than one eighth ofUho value ofv tha oil pro duced by tho lessor of a piece of mineral land. Tho U. S. director of lrllnes has brought out tho fact that tho oil hotntr nrnrtiiced In this country Is not keeping up with our present de mands for petroleum and gasoline and that we nro now importing .the same from Moxlco and elsewhere. He also brings out that tho shortage is likely to increase because our de mand for gasollno is Increasing rap Idly. This present bill is designed to encourage tho opening up of our undeveloped ell lands and at tho same timo guard against tho waste hitherto connected with oil develop ment and to safeguard tho Interests of tho government and the.Amerlcan people as a whole. Secretary Lane, In writing to Chairman Sinnott re garding tho bill, S. 2775, n's it came over from tho senato, said that In his opinion it was on tho whole tho beat leasing bill that had passed either houso of congress.
