riparian RIGHTS
Of STATE BRING
IN BIG RECEIPTS
Revenue Almost Equals That OF
Last Year, in Spite of In-
crease in Valuation.
[special to The Newark star.l

TRENTON, Dec 21.--In the annual
report of the Riparian Commissioners,
which was made to Governor Fort to-
day, 1t Is claimed that Notwithstanding
the increased prices for grants, the re-
ceipts for the year Is almost equal to
that Of last year; that they have fore
closed a number of forfeited rights and
increased the price when resold. They
point out that the public at large Is
not familiar with the situation under
which grants are given, and point out
how the constitution restricts them in
many cases, and prevents them from
selling the lands at small figures to
purchasers who desire to improve tho
lands and make them more valuable
from a taxing standpoint. The repor,
Of the Commission follows
THE commission has continued the
work Of foreclosing and recovering the
title to lands leased by the State which
have have become forfeited for the
non-payment of rentals under the pro-
visions of the act provided therefor.
The commission has advanced the
prices over those formerly asked partly
in accordance with the increase in
value of the States waterfront and
partly with the end in view of securing
to the State the rea sonably anticipated
increase in value that must accrue in
the near future.
Public Ignorant of Rules.
The commission, in the administra-
tjon of it's duties, is confronted with a
situation not understood by the public
at large, or, indeed, by owners of shore
front properties desiring TO secure the
riparian rights of the State in front
of the same. The constitution has set
apart the proceeds of the sale of ri
parian lands of the State for the sup
port of free public schools, and to that
extent has restricted the administra-
tion OF this interest. The plea is nrade !
by those interested in the ownership
and development of the shore front
lands of the State that the commits |
sion should take into account the ad- |
vantages to accrue to the locality and
the State at large from ths establish |
ment of commercial enterprises, and re-
duce the charge or price to be paid by
them to the State for these riparian
lands on that account.
THE commission has carried out its
former practise in making personal ex-
aninations of localities where applica- |
lions have been made, and have held a |
number Of hearings at which counsel |
and experts interested for the appli-
cants have been heard"
OF the total receipts for the year $134,- |
236 were from grants; s19,i73 from
leases, s3A4A from rentals on leases,
s9,e47 from conversions, and $763 from
licenses. The largest grant was that
made on December 10, 1903, to the STAN
dard OIL Company for riparian rights

HENEY LAYS down
THE LAW
SAYS THAT THE COURT MUST
PROTECT HIM AGAINST ATTOR-
HOUN CASE.

San Francisco, April 27.-'I never
take any notice of a barking cur
said Francis J. Heney to Lewis F.
Byington in today's session of the
trial Of Patrick Calhoun.
Il may be cur" said Byington,
rising to his feet, but l am not a
trailing dog, as you are"
Judge LaWler interfered to prevent
a possible physical encounter Heney
at once addressed the court and the
five attorneys for the defense, say
ing:
Il have heretofore notified the
court that I do not intend to be as
sailed by any person engaged in this
case. 1 stood it for months when
was opposed by Heinerich, but, so
help me God, 1 will not stand for it
again. l shall not play the baby and
appeal to the court for protection,
because l conceive it to be the courts
duty to intervene when these attacks
are instituted. I serve notice again
that my character must not be as
sailed. When we come to the argu-
ment to the jury, you are at liberty
to say anything you please"
TOday's optburst in the case was
during the argument over the ad-
mission of testimony given by James
l.. Gallagher. Byington interrupted
Heney to remark that Heney was
making statements which Heney
knew to be untrue.

matter was not even presented to the
board of pardons. 1t was predicted
by others that before Warden Whit
ney left the penitentiary Orchard
would escape" and be safely out OF
the country before the fact became
known, but Whitney has gone and
Orchard is still behind the gray walls.
The only complaint Orchard him
self has to make is the fact that he
is ignored by other prisoners. Few
of them will associate with him; he Is
regarded as an informer. For this
reason he has often expressed regret
that the sentence of the court was
not carried out.

THE PEACH CROP
IN WENATCHEE
MAN WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT 1T
GIVES THE COURT A STRAIGHT
TIP ACCORDING TO THE YAKI.
MA DAILY REPUBLIC.

The truth will out, says the Yaki-
ma Daily Republic. Virtue always
triumphs in the end. The wicked
man may have his little fling, but
eventually he gets it in the neck. We
are reminded of these important
facts by an occurrence in the police
court here today. One Hoagland,
who had been indicated, but who at
the time mentioned, was duly sober,
appeared before Judge Wende, and
in giving an abridged and perhaps
epurgated version of his life re-
marked incidentally that he was
from Wenatchee, and was an or
chardist by profession.
Judge Wende has been waiting for
Wenatchee for long time, and he
was ready for this specimen of her
population.
do you raise peaches at Wenat-
chee?" asked the court as a starter
+"Yes, sir"
did the frost kill them all this
season?"'
1T did, sir"
do they raise as good peaches in
Wenatchee as they do in Yakima?"
They do not, sir; and they never
will" replied the offender against the
peace and dignity.
Every good, sir, indeed. You are
the only truthful man I ever saw
from Wenatchee, not excepting Bill

RAILROAD MEN ARE
WATCHING STATE
DURING PAST YEAR REPRESEN.
TATIVES OF MANY PROMINENT
SYSTEMS HAVE VISITED HERE
MORE LINES COMING.

Railroad men of the United States
are more interested in the northwest
and particularly the state of Wash
ington than in any other portion of
Uncle Sans domain, according to the
statements of those who have follow
ed the activities of the several sys-
TENS and observed the manner in
which presidents of transportation
companies have We'd with each other
to gain supremacy in the sections
which appear to them to be most
promising.
Never in the history of the state
have so many railroad officials visited
this section of America in so short a
time. Never before have they so
urged their subordinates to become
familiar with the northwest and espe-
cially the state of Washington.
Many Pay Visit to State.
During the past year representa-
tives from nearly every important
railroad system in America have made
trips to this state. Ostensibly they
came merely to see the beautiful
country but the wiseacres declare all
this means something more. They say
the next five years will see more
railroad activity in Washington than
any one ever thought Of. The fight
for entrance to promising agricultural
districts and to well situated ports
on Puget Sound and the Pacific will
continue undated, they declare.
The west has long been without
adequate transportation facilities, due
largely to the fact that the eyes of
officials were blind to the i'm
portance of this section. When the
system started for the Pa
,ific coast other corporations began to

ORCHARD AFFECTED
BY CHANGE
TWO OF HIS GOOD FRIENDS GONE
FROM BOISE-MULTI-MU
Err WORKS IN STORE ROOM,
STUNNED BY OTHERS.

The most model prisoner in the
Idaho penitentiary is Harry Orchard,
according to the retiring Warden, E.
w. Whitney The former warden has
entered emphatic denial to the report
that the famous prisoner has been
shown any favors not accorded other
life prisoners, and says that he has
never been allowed the privileges of a
trusty. He has employment in the
store room, and, as before the Hay
wood and Pettibone trials, puts in his
spare time in the study of Shake
speare and the Bible.
Orchard recently lost his spiritual
adviser. The Rev. Edward Kinks,
dean of ST. Michael's Episcopal cathe-
dral, who was responsible for the con-
version of the multi-murderer. &C
copied a call to Virginia parish,
and Orchard has found no one who
can take his place in his confidence.
Rev. Mr.. Kinks had the utmost con-
fidence in Orchards sincerity in his
religious profession, and also in the
truth of his story told at the Haywood
trial. The parting between the clergy
showed that a real attachment had
grown up between them.
There is considerable speculation
as to what the attitude Of Warden
Shook, the new official appointed by
Governor Brady, toward Orchard will
be. Whitney co-operated with the
prosecution in the Western Fedora
ton cases and while he emphatically
disclaimed any favoritism, it was re-
ported in many quarters that his feel
ing of sympathy for Orchard led to
his extending consideration which
other prisoners did not enjoy Dis
charged prisoners frequently made
such complaint.
After Orchards sentence was COM
muted from death to life imprison-
ment the prediction was made by
prominent federationists that that be- |
fore the term of Governor Gooding ex-
pired full pardon would be extend
ed the central figure in the Haywood
trial. The prediction proved to be
without foundation, however, and the
