 James T. Barber and Samuel q. Moon. Eau Clairs, Wis, are among those indicted. It is claimed that the 10S entrymen sWore that they were taking out the claims for their own use and benefit for speculation.
 The statements are alleged to have been false, and the government attorneys claim that the entrymen had all entered into a contract to turn the lands over to the lumber corporation as soon as their claims were proved
 It is further claimed that Senator Borah and other alleged conspirators provided funds to many of the 1OS entrymen to cover the expense of taking out their claims.
 The interest aroused by the trial is intense in this section of the country, owing to the prominence of all concerned.
 Among the 10S entrymen names. as a part of the conspiracy, but not indicted, are some of the most prominent business men in Boise In some instances, five members of a family, including wives and daugh- ters are involved.

Ominous Preparations.

The possibility of war between this
country and Japan has awakened the
American people to the fact that the
Pacific side of the United States
is practically without defense. This
has also received official recognition.
and Mr.. Metcalf, Secretary of the
Navy, has issued instruction for the
assembling of the various fleets now
in Pacific waters for q series Of ma
neuvers under the command of q
Vice Admiral. Even the combined
naval feet in the Pacific will be no
match for the Japs in the event of
war, but it certainly would prevent
disaster to the seacoast cities. Or
ders have also been issued for the
immediate prosecution of repairs to
the battleship Oregon, now lying at
the Puget Sound Navy Yards. The
Secretary has allowed 81, 900, 600 to
put the famous battleship in strictly
first-class condition. This action of
the Secretary is all the more signifi-
cant from the fact that the Oregon
is on the Pacific Coast.

ciety during the Spanish war. A
large relief fund had been collected,
and the ever-increasing number OF
applicants for aid soon convinced
Mr.. Mansfield that his chief duty
would be in finding really deserving

One day young artilleryman from
one of the harbor forts visited the
office. He was a fine specimen of
physical manhood and despite the
easily apparent evidence of intoxica-
ton his uniform was spick and span.
OF course, his appeal for aid was
courtously refused.
But the soldier was persistent, be-

Mansfield resolved to get rid of him.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF PORcHEs
Cold Facts Do Not, However. Remove Their
Sentimental Use by MoonIisht.

! "A writer in Mdoors-and- Ont saws:
In all parts of the country passers-
by see porches on which nobody sits
"a waste of more things than space
and lumber. Deluded home-builders
attach to the fronts of their houses a
Shelf, platform or shed of various
widths, in full view of the street, or
encircle their sitting rooms and libra
r!es with wide, light-obscurers, max
ing the legitimate functions of the
room impossible on dark days, and
sending the family usptairs to their
bedrooms for cheer and comfort. "A
better plan would be to put the porch
in an angle made by the main house
and wing, or to build out large
square, projecting in the fashion of a
porte-cochere, and screen it in by
glass at one end, to give it the sense
of an outdoor room, rather than of
an exposed platform.
TO the obServant person, it is a
matter of conjecture what purpose
these exposed platforms really serve.
A small porch over the door to act
as protection against the dashing
rains, and for an occasional lounging
place for those who care to use it, is
well enough; but one rarely uses the
covered Shelf unless dressed for
exhibition, and even then, a reserved
person hardly likes to be exposed to
the gaze of ever passer-by. There is
no sense of privacy felt by the porch
lounger, and one who seeks rest from
toll during the few leisure moments
hardly feels like "lolling" or lying
on the piazza couch or swing in the
hammock in so public place. Such
places do not lend themselves to neg
ligee, nor to intimacy, nor to the
personal conversation among confid-
ing friends. The far less pretentious
"stoop" at the side or back of the
house is much more frequented, and
it is here the family oftenest assem-
BILE for the outdoor air.
Then, too, these useless porches
make great deal Of unnecessary
work for the housewife, as it is by no
means easy to keep them to their
legitimate uses-they are such handy
places to throw things" They bar
the light from the rooms where such
work as reading, writing and sewing
must be carried on, besides shutting
out the sunshine, without which no
room is fit to live in. If there must
be pOrches, put them at the back of
the house, and away from windows.
Don't hood" the windows of the
living or working rooms, as you value
your eyeSipht.
