tent to Break Laws.
TIMBER LAND DEALS LEGITIMATE
Testimony OF Witnesses that implied
Contracts Had Been Made 10
Vigorously Denied.

Portland, July l5.--Dr. Van Gesner,
partner OF Representative Williamson
and Marion r, Biggs, United States
land commissioner, two Of the defendants
in the case now ON trial before Judge
De Haven, testified yesterday in their
own behalf. DR.. Gesner passed through
the rigid cross examination conducted
by District Attorney Heney, and, al.
though his original story was not shak-
en- much, he was forced into several
admissions that will be used when the
government comes to make its argu.
ment. This morning Marion Biggs
will be subjected TO cross examination
and unless court should adjourn at
noon, il is possible that Representative
Williamson will take the stand.
DIR. Gesner, in answer to the ques-
tions asked by Attorney Wilson, gave
his version OF the way in which he had
started out TO obtain the timber lands
which since have involved him in the
case at bar. He admitted having made
the loan 10 number OF the entrymen,
but said that he did SO in order to pro-
tect the property he already had in
that section OF the country. DIR. Ges-
ner denied that he had any contracts
with the various entrymen, and stated
there had been no conspiracy with Ma
rion Biggs and Representative William
son The witness gave history OF
the war between the sheep and cattle
men, in which the now famous "30-30"
men played such an important part in
the Horse Heaven country. The entry
men, he testified, had first approached
him and asked him to lend the money
with which TO file on the claims. He
stated that he agreed to furnish them
the money, providing they would give
him the use OF the land for range for
his sheep. For the use of the range he
had agreed not TO charge them interest
on the loans. He said that the sheep.
shooters had established a dead line
and in order to protect his property he
was forced to secure more range and
thought that he had gone the right
way about 1t, when he made the loans
to the entrymen who came to him, and
asked for financial help.
Before agreeing to furnish the money
TO the entrymen, DR.. Gesner stated that
he had first consulted Biggs and had
engaged him as lawyer. He also
consulted Attorney Barnes, and had
been assured by both that what he in
tended to do was legal, provided he did
not enter into contract with the en-.
trymen before they made their filings.

Traffic of the isthmus.
New York, July 15.-The contract
between the Panama Railroad company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, under which the later has for
years enjoyed the exclusive privilege OF
handling freight on the Pacific side
on through bills of lading, terminated
today. Hereafter all carriers will be
on parity in respect to transit facil-
tiles ON the isthmus.
Mr.. Bristow in his recent report on
the Panama railroad recommended that
if the Pacific Mail Steamship company
withdraws its present Panama line an
effort be made to induce some other
company to establish q first-class serv.
ice between the important Pacific coast
ports of the United States and Panama
Upon excellent authority it can be
stated that the government does not
anticipate that the Pacific Mail will
carry out its threat to take its vessels
from the Panama-San Francisco serv-
ice, nor does it expect the abrogation
of the contract to affect in any way the
shipment of merchandise from New
York to San Francisco.

St. Petersburg, July l4.-M. Mura-
vieff has resigned his position as chief
peace plenipotentiary.
1t may be regarded as practically GER
tain that he will be replaced by NJ.
Witte, president of the committee OF
ministers, who all along has been con-
sidered the Russian statesman pre-em-
inently qualified to undertake the diff
cult task of negotiating peace with
Japan.
Though the emperor on two previous
occasions has fatty declined to accept
NJ. Witte, he has now indicated his
readiness to make the appointment.
The commission, however, will not be
actually signed until Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, who throughout has been
NJ. Whites warm supporter, has had
an audience with the emperor. To
that extent only the matter may be re-
garded as settled, nothing being certain
in Russia, as a prominent diplomat re-
marked last night, until the emperor's 6
signature has been affixed.

nOSoUuu ucocTNAuoUs
Fairfax, S D., July 14.-one Of the
worst storms that ever visited the Rose
bud reservation struck the towns Of St.
Elmo, Burke, Herrick and Gregory, re-
sulting in the death of one person and

DENIES MOTION.
Judge Detiaven Refuses to Dismiss
Land Fraud Gases.

Land Fraud Cases.
Portland, July 1.-THE case OF the
United States against Williamson,
Gesner and Biggs win not be dismissed
by the court, nor win the jury be i'm
structed to acQuit as prayed for in q
day.long argument by Judge Bennett
and II, S, Wilson, But by Ithe ruling
of Judge De Haven the case viii have
to be fought out before the jury to the
end. According to the opinion of the
judge, the prosecution has furnished
sufficient evidence against Williamson
and his associates to warrant his sub
mitting the case to the jury.
Judge Bennett opened the case for
the defense yesterday morning with a
motion to dismiss, owing to insufficient
evidence to connect the defendants or
TO convict them. He asked that the
case be not submitted to the jury, or,
il such had TO be done, that the court
instruct the jury to return verdict Of
acQuittal, Following this motion the
attorneys for the defense made exhaust
i've arguments Of their position, bring
ing citations from the law to show that
their contentious were within the rule.
Upon making this motion and before
commencing his argument Judge Ben
nett asked the court that the Jury be
allowed TO remain in the room during
the argument, in order Ahat it might
hear the positions taken by both sides
in the controversy. This, it is alleged
by some, was mistake in the strategy
OF the trial, as the influence Of the re-
tusal 81 the court to allow the motion
would tend to throw assistance TO the
side of the government.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

From WatsOn's Magazine.
The question Of public ownership,
which sCares some people into the
thought Of socialism, IS not what we
might call it, but how much Of it can
we assimilate advantageously? How
much is advisable to incorporate into
our system Of government? How far
canwe depart from individualism
without destroying the incentive to
action or paralyzing the energies Of
the human racer We find that il
works pretty well in the postal sys-
TEN. Our mOney-Order system comes
in competition with the express COM
panies and compels them to carry
money at a lower rate The public
school system comes in competition
with the private schools and lessons
the cost Of an education. Every ex-
pertinent made by this government,
or other governments, in the way Of
owning and operating public utilities
has been a success. The principal op-
position comes from those who are
fattening on special privileges or from
their satellites.

so confident that had made few mis-

a rather foolish question OF the pro-
lessor in charge. The latter evidently
felt that the dignity Of the occasion
had been trified with, for he scored
one per cent against me. When the
papers came to be corrected this loss
caused me to fall one-ffth of one per

PEACE.

flushed is the noise Of battle, the can
mons roar is stiIIed;
Furled IS the flag Of carnage-the
world with peace is filled.
And over the plain and mountain
Where Iieth the sleeping dead,
The Angel Of Peace now hovers,
Her snOw-white wings Outspread.
And forth from the earth there
springeth
The blades Of the waving grain
To nod to the welcome harvest
Ger graves Of the battle slain.
And joyful, the nations gather and
man on the harvest looks,
For swords are beaten to plOwshares,
and spears into pruning hooks.
StiTed is the tread Of armies armed
for the deadly fray.
And birds build nests in the cannons
that belched death yesterday.
For men in the heat OF passion
Gave heed to the voice Of peace,
And sitting meath branch Of olive
Have ordered that war shall cease.
The wives and children singing
Now welcome the warriors home,
And laughter and joy are hinging
Their echoes to heavens dome.
And Joy is the lot Of nations as each
on the grand scene looks,
For swords are beaten to plOwsharesr
and spears into pruning hooks.
Gone are the hates Of passions, tumult
and striving ceased.
And man made in Gods own image
from the blOOd-lust stands re-
leased.
The shock of cOntending armies
Gives way to the harvest song;
And Right, with a palm branch wav-
ing,
Is the victor over Wrong
The roar and the crash Of battles,
The means Of the dying cease;
And over the plain and the mountain
Is the clear sunlight OF peace
The husband returns to the fireside,
on the faces Of loved ones looks,
For swords are beaten to plowsharess

Of the old time school has had the
better Of il in this respect, that they
did not have their knowledge OF any
particular branch 50 frequently upset
BY the appearance Of new text books
with changes in this or that paricu-
lar thing A student would doubtless
finish his common school course with
a single author, and as the author was
generally good, he made that book
his authority and knew exactly how
to dispose, with reason. a sentence OF
a problem. Nowadays it is possible
that a new text book may appear ey-
cry year, since there is such an eXCes-
sive production Of books along the or
binary lines Of study Many OF them
are not worth the paper they are
printed on. And these many books on
one thing is absolutely injurious TO
the minds Of children who are trying
to find out some clear pathway for
their knowledge along given line
We are willing to cOncede that for
these reasons the student Of yesterday
in mathematics and language has
been placed in the better situation
But the student Of these more mod
ern times has fairly Teveled in the
great advances that have certainly
been made in science The mind is
instinctively inquisitive, and students
study about everything they have a
chance to. The mass OF knowledge
that they have been trying to engOrge
has been another weakness in the
scholarship Of today The ancient
saying Of Solomon seems to be appli-
cable now, "Of making books there is
no end and much study is a WEAKNESS
Of the flesh Indeed, students are so
overwhelmed with facts and figures
/ that their heads have become a mud
/ die. They seem to know nothing well;
are sure Of but few things; and ap-
parently don't know what's the mat
/ ter. The fact is, they are suffering
| from intellectual gestiOn-read too
much and think too little. The most
vulnerable attack that can be made
L upon the scholarship Of today is upon
1 this point, the deplOrabIe lack OF lOgi-
1 cal arrangement and classification OF
4 knowledge in the students mind.
/ There seems to be considerable
4 ground after all for the charge

Shakespeare and the bible, most any
one can become well educated.
