TO MAKE 1T STAY IN ONE PLACE
Task Will Be Begun Upon Sand
Dunes.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 15.-Ef-
forts to reclaim a part of the lower
valley Of the Columbia river. where
the sand dunes are not only useless but
1 menace to adjoining farms, will be
made by the agricultural department
this year. Clifford Pinchot of the bu-
reau of forestry. says the way to do 1t
is obey the injunctOns of the late j.
Sterling Morton-"Plant trees The
forestry bureau made some nivestiga-
tons in the sand dune region of Wash
ington and Oregon. during the last year
and concluded that the whole area can,
without very great expense be trans
formed from desert waste into a
highly productive field for the farmers.
A strip of land from one to six miles
wide, lying along the Columbia river,
from Willow creek to John Day river,
has been withdrawn from entry and
On this tract the agricultural depart
nent will make some experiments In
tree planting this year, to show the
farmers what can be done with an ap-
parently unprOmising area.
under present conditions the sand
dunes produce nothing except trouble
FOR farms along the edges of this shift
mig tract. The sand dunes contains a
lot Of mica, which makes it easily
blown about by the wind. The dry,
shifting soil has engulfed orchards,
damaged growing crops and even rem
dered it necessary to move buildings
from their original sites. The sand is,
however. extremely fertile, and the
only thing to be accomplished is to
make it stay in one place long enough
for crops to grow in it.

Dunbar Out of Rainier Grand.

SEATTLE. Jan, 13.-Under a writ
of restitution issued by Federal Judge
Hanford on Friday, Deputy United
States Marshals Tyler and Crosby re-
moved H. B. Dunbar from the posses
sion of the building known as the
Rainier Grand hotel, and delivered the
property to W. McC. White and Hugh
Wilson. the plaintiffs in the action
brought in the United States court for
restitution of the premises.
The action was based on the ground
that Dunbar's lease OF the premises
expired on December Il, 1908. The
plaintiffs we're required by Judge Han
ford to furnish a bond Of $40. 900. Dun
bar failed to file a counter bond to re-
tain the property within the time al
lowed by law, and owing to this fail
ure the deputy marshals Yesterday af-
ternoon took possession of the prem
ses.
The contest which resulted in the
move has been Waged actively in the
local courts for more than six weeks
~
property was brought by the widow
and heirs of John Noyes, who own
the building in which the Rainier
Grand hotel is located, early in Deem
Der last. This was suit for the can
collation. of the lease held by Dunbar
on the ground that he had violated
its provisions in several material re-
spects. This suit is still pending in
the state courts
The action Which resulted in giving
possession of the hotel to White and
Wilson was commenced on Friday
and the plaintiffs based their claim
for possession upon a lease executed
10 them several months ago by Mrs
Noyes. widow of John Noyes, and the
remaining heirs.

THIEF SHOWS HIS CACHE

BILLINGS. Mont, Jan. 15.-At an
early hour Wednesday morning Elk
press Messenger Frank Roberts, who
confessed to robbing packages con-
tanning money belonging to the North
arn Pacific Express company, accom-
panied by Sheriff Potter of Red Lodge
and Detective Goddard, a Northern
Pacific railway detective, drove to a
point in the mountains four miles east
Of Billings for the purpose of locating
the remainder of the missing money,
which Roberts claimed he had cached
for future use. After a thorough
search the money was finally located
behind a rock. The sack contained
nearly $1,000 in gold and was turned
over to the express company. Roberts
is subjected to indictments under four
separate counts. as he confessed he
opened three other money packages
before securing the $4,000 consignment
His populations now amount to $1,000.
He has been bound over to the dis
trict court under bonds of $500.
Roberts confessed he took the money
to gamble with.

tne auditor, supported by the attorney
generals office. precludes this. Moth
ing but the original 1903 appropriation
of $4,000 is available for use IN the
cultivation and protection OF oyster
beds. OF this amount only S22o re-
mains and the state constitution pro-
vides no further moneys can be paid
from the state treasury or from any
funds of the state except upon the ap-
propriations made by law. Thus $22O
will have to run the oyster department
of the fish commissioners office for the
coming year In an interview Mr.
Kershaw said:
Il think we will get along some
how. We have $500 Of the $4,000 left
and this will be enough to furnish one
patrolman for the Puget Sound district
Further. the longing Of oysters comes
at q time when l am not particularly
rushed with work. and l will send the
patrol boat Bessie, down to the re-
serves during that time in charge or
one of my deputies. l myself Will
probably look after the Willapa harbor

right as far as the sale of seed oysters
is concerned, during the longing period
which will probably not exceed thirty
DAYS or six weeks, but will be COM

ter reserves until after the next meet
ing of the Legislature.
probably the worst feature of the
whole matter is, there Will be practical
ly nobody to look after the beds when
the reserves are closed for longing.
This leaves the beds exposed to the
possible depredations of law'ess per

HOW ARBITRATION IN MATTER
OF LABOR DISPUTES HAS
WORKED IN ENGLAND.
Americans May Be Interested to Learn
How the Scheme Has Worked Un-
der Government Supervision.

LONDON. Jan. 15.-In view of the
present efforts of the National Civic
Federation and other organiZa lions in
the United States to establish arbitra-
ton as the recognized method for the
settlement of disputes between capital
and labor, Americans may be interested
to learn how the scheme has worked
in England under government super
vision. Interesting light is thrown
on the subject by the facts and figures
contained in the fourth report issued
by the board of trade on it's proceedings
under the Cancellation Grade disputes)
act of 1896. The act has been in force
seven years, and the present report
shows that there is little or no increase
in the tendency of either employers or
employees to avail themselves of it's
provisions The report covers a period
of two years. and during that time
forty-One cases were dealt with, in
tWenty-Cne of which a cessation of
work was involved. In the preceding
two years there was fOrty-siX cases.
The total number of cases in the period
Of seven years which has elapsed since
the passing of the act amounts to but
154, of which ninety nine have been
settled under the act and fourteen
others by the parties themselves dur
ing the negotiations. IN forty cases
either the board declined to take act
ion or 10 settlement resulted from its
intervention. OF the ninety-nine settle
mentS, sixty five We're effected by ar
bitration and thirty -four by concilia-
ton. In the last two years there We're
tWenty-ninc cases CT application from
both parties, four from employers only
and eight from WOrkpeOple only. These
last figures would tend to show in
a way that the employees We're more In
clined to accept arbitration as means
Of settlement than are the employers.
Taking the whole period since the
passing af the act, there have been
seventy-One cases of application from
both sides, twenty from employers
