DEFEAT FOR LAND GRABBERS.

The outlook for the men who have
been robbing the government of west
ern lands is becoming gloomy. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's determination to
bring them to justice and the vigorous
prosecutions instituted by his subor.
dinates are almost certain to land a
large number of the bigger and lesser
thieves in prison. A decision handed
down by the United States supreme
court holds that Frederick A. Hyde
and Henry p. Dimond of San Fran
cisco must be taken to Washington
for trial by the supreme court of the
District Of Columbia on q charge of
conspiracy to defraud the United
States of public lands.
This case is of equal Importance to
those now pending in the federal court
at Portland. The federal grand jury
indicted Hyde and Dimond jointly
with John A. Benson and Joost H.
Schneider. Benson and Schneider,
although residents of California, were
arrested, the former in New York city
aud the latter in Washington, D. c.,
where he was held. Benson fought
removal to Washington, and Judge
Lacombe in the United States circuit
court at New York held the indictment
defective and discharged him. From
this decision the government appealed
| and this appeal is virtually decided
by the supreme courts ruling on the
HYDE imond appeal.
The long hearing in San Francisco
on the motion to remove Hyde and
Dimond to Washington brought out
much, If not all of the governments
evidence against the defendants. This
was of sensational interest and i'm.
portance to the people, especially OF
the vest. Benson and Hyde had been
dealing together in public lands.
Dimond and Schneider were agents
for the principals under the indict-
ment. The illegal methods employed
to obtain possession Of the lands en-
braced the use of dummies, fictitious
locators, fraudulent afidavits and
forged deeds. BY these means the
conspirators acquired vast areas OF
state school lands in California and
Oregon, which were included in the
new forest reserves. Under the pro.
visions of the lieu land law of 1897
they relinquished these forest reserve
lands, to which they had obtained
fraudulent title from the states named,
and demanded in lieu thereof patents
to lands belonging to the government
outside of the reserves. Such patents,
had they been issued, would have
given the conspirators good title to
hundreds of thousands of acres OF
valuable western lands. But in most
eases the applications for eNchang,
were detected in time and held up by
the interior department after the dis
missal of Commissioner Bingcr Her
! mann from the general land Office.
Benson, Hyde. ct al. may now look
for a prompt and rigorous trial a,
Washington. 1t is understood to b.
the plan of the government that this
trial shall be conducted by Francis J
Heney. the young San Francisco law

cases at Portland, aud whose efficient
work thus far has resulted in the de,

OUR COTTON EXPORTS,
Remarkable Increase in the Amount
Sold in China.

SOLO IN Snlnds
Special to Times Republican.
Washington, April 1--ENports of
cotton cloths to Chint from the United
States in the first eight months of the
present fiscal year broke all previous
records, and Indicate that our total eX-'
ports to China during the twelve
months ending june 80 next VIII reach
the unprecedented figure of 40 million
dollars. while to the orient, as whole
the total will probably approximate
$50 million dollars in value. These con-
illusions are based upon figures just
complied by the department OF com
merce and labor thru It's bureau OF sta
tistics, which show that our exports to
Asia and Oceania in the eight months
ending with February, 1906, amounted
to s92,523. 412-p practically equal to the
total shown by the full twelve months
OF the fiscal year 1904, and exceeding
the total for the eight months of any
preceding fiscal year.
Prior to the present fiscal year our
exports to Asia and Oceania had never
reached so much at $100,000.000, save
in the exceptional year 1900, when the
total was $10S,305,0S2. as compared
with 61,927,67S in 1897, $7S.235.l76 IN
1889, s9s,2o2,11s In 1902, and $9a,oo2.-
02S In 1904; while for the eight elaps-
ed months of the present fiscal year
the total has already reached the un-
exampled figure of $92523,412.
The principal oriental countries to
which this 92h million dollars worth
Of merchandise was exported are China
% million dollars; Japan, rs millions;
British Australia, II 23 millions;
Hongkong, nearly s millions; British
East Indies, millions, and the Philip
pines about 3A millions.
TO China our exports during the
eight months under review show re-
markable gain over previous years, be-
ing % millions in the present fiscal
year to date, as against SO millions for
the same period of last year, 15R
millions for the corresponding months
Of 1902, and 1912 millions for the same
months of 1900. AT the present rate
of expectation our total sales to China
will reach fully 40 million dollars for
the full fiscal year, which ends three
months hence.

Stimulus of Spring Demand and

Wheat Crop In Good Condition.

today says:
Excellent weather, favorable grain
crop reports expansion in industry,

larly at the west, charging retail
trade in the leading cities and unim-
paired confidence in the future are sat
isfactory features demanding notice
this week.
Special reports to Bradstreet's from
all the leading winter and spring
wheat sections point to the winter
sown crop having weathered the cold
weather in excellent condition.
Special reports from 1oS cities and
towns point to an expenditure for
houses offices, factories and other
editlces of $455,000,0O0 during the
present calendar year. Allowances for
cities not yet reported would indicate
that the total expenditures for edi-
fees for this year would run we'll up
to $500 100000 In addition to this
marked activity in railroad building
and heavy orders for equipennt fore
shadow an expenditure of probably
5000 100000 by the railroads this all
pointing to an aggregate expenditure
for material and labor of close to
$500. 100000
Relatively most activity in trade Is
still noted at the west. All the usual
lines offered In distributive trades feel
the stimulus Of spring activity is re-
Elected In better inquiry for lumber,
hardware, paints and oils. Prospects
favor a. very early opening Of water
navigation, particularly on the great
lakes and an enormous ore trade

weather, note marked firmness; par
ticular strength is shown in iron and
