LAW FOR ExposITloNs.
Foreign Exhibits Must Be Returned or
Pay Duty.


Washington. July 23.-Foreign ex-
hibits brought into the United States
for display at the St. Louis exposition
will, under recent ruling of the treas
ury department, be exempt from duty.
provided they are, at the close of the
exposition, taken out of the country 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 and
products are provided for, and similar
instructions will be issued one year
hence regarding Oriental exhibits that
are brought to Portland Tor the Lewis
and Clark exposition. In the case 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 Tor
commercial purposes, and naturally a
large percentage of the foreign exhibits
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 port cf entry
into this country and sent in bonded
cars direct to the exposition grounds,
where they will be continued in bond
until the close of the exposition. Al
that time, they must be repacked in
their original packing and returned
through the same port at which they
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
and at Portland of pro-
smaller number, to be reg
uiated 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 commits
sioners within the limits of the expo
sition, free samples of merchandise to
be distribute by foreign contributors,
and advertising matter in the form OF
literature.

OLD LOUISIANA BONDS.
Issue Which Paid for Territory to Be
Shown at st. Louis.

Shown at st. Louis.
Washington, July 22.-One of the
most interesting histroical exhibits to
be made at the st. Louis exposition
next year will be collection of cam
celled bonds used in payment for the
Louisiana Territory. These old papers
were recently found in the treasury de-
partment by Chief ClerksHills.
a history of the payment has been
complied by &. A! Bayiey, of the treas
ury department, who statesSthat among
the national loans of the United States
was one known as "Louisiana per
cent stock" issued in 1904. Mr.. Bay
ley says:
"This loan was contracted to pay
France for the province of Louisiana,
ceded to the United States by that
power April 80, 1903. According to
the construction of the United States,
the cession by Flanoe included all the
region between the 31st parallel and
the Gulf of Mexico, and between the
Mississippi river and the Perdido river,
now the western boundary of the state
of Florida. The United States had
heavy demands ON France for spolia.
tions committed on American commerce
during the pievieus ten years. The
amount, of these claims was estimated
at $4,000, 900. The first proposal of
the French minister was that the
United States should pay for the pro-
vince of Louisiana 100000, 900 francs,
and take upon themselves tho payment
of the claims for spoliatjon, but the
amount was finally fixed at SIS, ,OOO,-
600, of which France was to receive
$11, ,250, 200 in United States bonds, pay
able in 15 years, and bearing interest
at the rate of per cent. The remand
or, amounting 70 s3,750,000. was to
be devoted to reimbursing American
citizens for French depredations on
their commerce. The treaty was con-
frned by the senate of the United
States, but was the occasion of an ex-
tended debate in the house of represen-
tatives.
The act to issue the stock in payment
for the territory, which became known
as the Louisiana stock, was approved
10, 1908.

Crops In Lane County.

While there has been much COM
plant 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 in 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 less
discouraging to the horticulturist and
only the strong hearted have been
able to bear up against the repeated
failures of prune crops especially.

APPROPRIATION SHORT.
Money to Pay Indian War Veterans Has
Been Exhau Ted.

1 OSSe k-An&a StC0s
The appropriation of 500. 900 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 300 claimants
must wall until the next legislature
appropriates money before they can
get their pay. The unpaid claims will
aggregate some $4,000, so that the
total amount paid out on this account
will be ~$150, 600. AS it had become
apparent in the last few days that the
appropriation would soon be exhaust
| ed, Secretary Of State Dunbar asked
the attorney-generalf for advice as to
the course he should pursue with re-
gard to the claims that come in after
the 100000 has been expended
Attorney-General Crawford has rem
dered an opinion in which he held
that the secretary of state has no au-
thority to audit the claims or issue
warrants after the appropriation is
exhausted. This means that until the
legislature makes another appropria-
tion, those whose claims are not al
ready on file in the Office of the sec-
retary of state will have no legal
claim against the state.
Section 1898 of the code provides
that the secretary of state shall not
issue a warrant except when an ap-
preparation is available for the pay
ment of the same. It also provides
that where claim has been incurred
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 attor-
ney-general holds that the Indian war
claims do not come under any of
these classes and that, therefore, the
secretary has no power to issue war-
rants or even certificates He can do
nothing but receive the claims and
keep them on file until the next legis-
lature meets, when he will report
them to that body for their consider
alton.
The indian War veterans claims
were not incurred in pursuance of
any law of the state of Oregon but
were incurred under the territorial
government. The United States gov
ernment assumed all the liabilities of
the territory when the state was ad-
mitted, and for that reason the vet
erans had no legal claim against the
state. The appropriation is held,
therefore, to be the measure of the
amount for which the secretary may
audit claims

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
NEW LAND LAW DEFECTIVE.
State Board Believes Old Act Stin In
Operation.

state Board Believes Oid ACT Still In
Operation.
Application has been made to the
state land board for the. purchase Of
tract of school land located within
the boundaries of one of the proposed
forest reserves in Eastern Oregon.
This land has been withdrawn from
sale by the state land board for the
reason that If the reserve should be
created the land would probably be
more valuable for base" than for
sale as school land The applicant in
this case contends, however, that the
board has no right to refuse to sell
any school land when the legal price,
$3.50 per acre, has been rendered.
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 $3.50 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, indemnify and school land.
ion that so much of the act as
applies to school land is inop-
erative, and that the old law is
still in 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, or could fix the price at $3.50,
which was intended by the legisla-
ture.
If the land should be placed in
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 encouragement for his
opinion.
