Miller started some days ago from

Instead of going straight to his daugh-

case with the present chairman Of the

rescued the committee from John i.

GobbIe Up the Forest Reserve
Selection.
EXCHANGE FOR LIEU LANDS
Law of 1897 Enacted in the Interests
of Timber Syndieates Enabling
Them TO Exenange Thousands
of Acres Of Poor Lands.

Washington, March 1.-Two and one
half million acres OF timber land will
be saved to the government by the
operation OF a snort act to which
President Roosevelt affixed his sigma
ture during the last moments Of the
5Sth congress. The act prohibits the
selection Of timber lands In exchange
for lands which have been included
within forest reserves. 1t was In 1897
that the lieu law was enacted. II had
no restrictions, simply emitting per-
sons holding lands in forest reserves
to make selections elsewhere in ex.
change for their forest reserve lands
In 1900 these lieu selections were limit
ed to surveyed lands. Since the pass
age of these acts, nearly two million
acres of forest reserve lands have been
exchanged for other lands and almost
universally has the exchange been
made for timbered lands outside of for
est reserves. Nearly half of this land
so exchanged is owned by the land
grant railroads. A report to congress
from the commissioner Of the general
land office places the amount of lands
still held by these roads in forest re-
serves at two and one half million
acres, and the provision in the act in
question, that hereafter lieu selections
must BE- made from untimbered lands.

timbered land which is outside OF for.

Portland Strike Is Not Much OF a
Success.
LAB0RERs ARE PLENTIFUL
The Strike Has Had no Effect on the
Work at the Lewis and Clark Fair
and Hundreds Of Men Are
Seeking Employment.

Portland. March with $50 men al

about 400 on the American inn. accord
ing to contractors, and with about SOC
men on the buildings at the south end
Of the grounds. the strike of employees
OF the contractors for the Lewis and
Clark exposition appears to the out
slider to be almost entirely broken
There were today the usual gatherings
of workmen, strikers and agitators
at the exposition gates, and some strik
ers even went so far as to state that
there are but very few men at work
either on the government building OF
the American inn. A casual glance at
those buildings, however, even from a
distance. is sufficient to disprove these
statements.
A few men left work this morning,
as there are always changes in the
staff, but the number Of applicants for
positions was much larger than the
number OF men who left their jobs,
Contractor W. R. Griffith reported
more men applied than he could give
positions. so that as far as he is con-
cerned the strike Is over, Foreman
w. G. Chalmers of the Burrell Con-
struction Company, had as many men
as he wanted. and was replacing some
laborers with first-class tradesmen.
For J. E. Bennett 1t was stated that
25 per cent of the men on the gov
ernment building are men who were
there before the strike. The others are
good workmen. and no man gets the
carpenters wage of $3.50 for an eight
hour day on that building unless he
proves himself competent carpenter.
The work is not crippled now on that
building, 1t is stated. although Mr.,
Bennett is ready to take on men until
he has the force up to 40. as previous
to the strike.
At the employment bureau on the
grounds men are still presenting them
selves for work. though not in quite
such large numbers as yesterday. Some
of them come from outside towns, at
tracted hither by the reports of the
strike Some have recently worked as
far north as Nelson, B. c., but these
were induced to come here rather by
reports of the exposition work than
because of the strike.
A number Of policemen at the gates
this morning took no action further
than TO disperse knots Of men who
had gathered on the sidewalk, OBJ.
structing the passage, and to see that
men coming from the cars to work
were not molested by pickets. There
was no disorder of any kind, and the
enthusiasm Of the agitators was con.
siderably lessened today.
Labor leaders still profess to believe
they will win the strike, but many OF
the workmen admit they consider all
hope gone.

grades which no other machine can
overcome.
Since by the great diameter of the
main wheel the monocycle is useful
for travelling through rough country,
ordinary obstacles presenting but
slight obstruction to its passage, its
inventor claims that it will prove of
service for military purposes, and also
to those who for business or other
reasons are compelled to pass through
desolate territory.
It's inventor has great expectations
of the monocycle as a racing machine.
Its small width (being in all but thir.
ty-four inches when the auxiliary
wheels are retracted) causes it, with
the assistance of the rotative move
ment of the rim, to glide along rapid
ly, attaining speed of a mile per
minute without being subjected to
severe atmospheric resistance.
The monocycle differs from other
motor-driven vehicles in that it. does
not draw upon the ground to produce
the tractive effect, but tumbles for
ward with continuous falling motion
