Argentine Farmers
Lose $2OO,OOO,OOO
AYear to "Grain Trust

Buenos Aires, Nov. 2S.-(By mail)--
9" Wake up, Argentina, and build grain
elevators" urged Cert T. Holm, a
Swedish Argentine and foremost cereal
expert in the republic, in an appeal to-
day to the country's farmers.
Holm estimates that these farmers
lose 5000, 100000 annually to the "grain
trust" through lack of storage facili-
ties, which eOmpels them to market
their products in hurry and on what.
ever terms the trust dictates. He
places the members of the trust at not
more than five concerns, who do have
some elevators of their own but who
use them, he asserts, entirely for their
own benefit. The plan he favors is
government construction of elevators.

JUDGE GALLOWAY
HOLDS HYDE ENTRIES
WERE FRAUDULENT
This Is First Of Six Cases
Brought to Recover
State Lands

Judge Galloway yesterday afternoon
decided one Of the most important eases
in his judicial career when he declared
500 acres of land in Linn county had
been obtained by +. A. Hyde, John Ben.
son and associates by collusion and con
spiracy to defraud.
The decision is the first of the seven
celebrated landfraud cases that have
been dragging along for dozen years
and involves the validity of title to 37,-
600 acres of land in Linn, Lane, Claek
amas, Hood River, Crook, Klamath and
Josephine counties.
Judge Galloway held yesterday that
the title TO the 600 acres is vested in
the state of Oregon.
In 1898 +. A. Hyde, John Benson and
his associates took up land out of the
Oregon school lands, under the pro-
visions of the law allowing fhe school
land to be taken up, each person was
permitted to take up only 800 acres.
But Hyde and his associates, so the com.
plant charged, took up thousands of
acres by means of dummy entrymen who
filed on the claims and then sold out
for a nominal sum-
Lands Were Exchanged.
The lands so gained were exchanged
by Hyde for lands in Montana under
the provisions of the lieu land act, and
were later sold to the Western Lumber
company, of which ex-senator Clark, of
Montana, is large shareholder.
The defense set up three contentious:
