The Commissioners have approved the

to exempt secondhand book dealers

OREGON LAND MEASURE
FAVORED BY COMMITTEE

There has been q change in sentimsnt
In the House Committee on Public
Lands. and prospects now are that IL
will meet the views Of the Attorney
General and report to the House. with
out amendment, the Senate resolution
directing the Department OF Justice TO
begin suit for the recovery from the
Southern Pacific Railway Of several
hundred thousand acres OF Valuable
timber and mineral lands in Oregon.
The Attorney General sympathizes
with the plea Of hundreds Of indiVid-
ual holders. that they should not be
deprived Of the property they innocently
acquired from the railroad company:
but he insists that IN the proc ceilings
20 be brought, 20 seek a forte. tuFe OF
the land in question, given under land
grant. the terms of which, it Is charged,
have been grossly violated. s=sy eNceps
tons made at this time would probably
jeOpardiZe the Governments CAKE.
His idea is 10 have the pending resO-
luton make no exceptions, and then
have Congress legislaJe 70 protect the
smaller holdings, after the court has
established the Government claim TO
forfeiture OF the original holdings Of
the railroad company now in cOntro-
Versy.

NEW YORK, March 4,-Close-There
was no question whatever about the
temper OF the stock market, 10 hest
fancy, no reactiOnary tendency, nor any
special effort to locate a reason for an
H,fetion of prices. They just turned
loose the gas bag and inflated stock
prices good and proper. and held the
gains almost intact TO the tap OF the
closing bell.
The shorts who have been hesitating
forgot their indifference, ceased talking,
conditions stin unfavoTable'' and no
warrant for the advance" and made the
best Of their way on the road TO cover
ing their contracts. The story OF the
days business, or rather of the short
two hours session, was one OF boom
prices. Of very strong spots where tone
was not especially expected. and weak
spots IN some Of the high-grade shares
where there has been q good gain while
the inactive list was barely steady.
For the time being the indUsUials

absolutely impossible to recede from the

Why?

If you are looking for a legitimate
reason for the advance, it may require
e. search OF considerable proportions 70
find It. Internationally sentiment Is
better, perhaps business is looking up.
Certainly money Is easier. and there IS
warrant for the purchase of many OF
the stocks and bonds on the market
Tor a long pull or for a short turn.
The bank statement was better than
expected, but this had little influence
one way or the other as money is very
easy and in ample supply.
The sharp advance in the bldustrials
was taken to mean a opposition on the
part OF the insiders 20 recognize better
Industrial conditions. and as this seems
tC De the only thing lacking IN the gen
eraL Improvement the situation may be
taEsn as materially better.
Just what Wall street expects Con-
grsss TO enact favorable to railroad
stocks is an enigma, but IL certainly
was full of optimistic theories this
morning.
