Ormsby, and Clark E. Loomls, . Among Those Indicted. PORTLAND, Dec. 7.-even Indict ments were returned by the Federal Grand Jury today.' The prominence of three of the number and the recurrence of the mysterious John Doe; and Rlshard Roe, made the day one of the most sen sational since the jury re-convened. The mast important Indictment was that of Dr. Wm. H. Davis, mayor of Albany, Oregon. Hardly of less import ance are the Indictments of Salmon B. Ormsby and Clark B.' Loomls. both for mer Government employes. The two others are Henry A. Toung and Geo. Borenson, who are not so well known. John Doe and Richard Roe are two persons with whose true names the jury state they are as yet unacquainted. The charge In .the Indictment today accuses the Indicted men with having entered into a conspiracy on December 2D, 1901, to defraud the Government of its public lands In township 11 South, Range seven East, and by the means of false and forged affidavits and proofs of homestead entry and settlement, the Government was Induced to Issue patents on the land. In the Indictment Just returned Dr. Davis, mayor of Albany, and the chair man of the county central committee of Linn county Is the central figure. The chkrge against him Is his alleged con spiracy with Loomis and Ormsby In hav ing proved up on claim "11-7." which he had abandoned after "11-7" had been In cluded In the forest reserve, and secured a patent to the land. Young's connection with . the alleged conspiracy, as In Sorenson's is not made clear In the Indictment. It Is thought, however, that the Gov ernment will attempt to prove entry on the land the Government believes itself defrauded of. Toung Is in the East and It Is not likely that the Government will attempt to. bring his case to trial as the offense Is not extradictable. Sorenson was a deputy sheriff of Mult nomah county several years ago, and the latter was a real estate agent He left Portland some weeks aao and his present ! wfewreabouts is unknown. ,- United States Senator J. H. Mitchell and Representative Hermann are in Portland appearing as witnesses before the Grand Jury in the investigations that are being made, having been sub poenaed from Washington. GRAND SUBMARINE ILLUMINATION. Unique Feature Planned for Lewis and Clark Centennial. L -JJortland, Dec. 29. Elaborate subma rine , illumination of Guild s Lake . will form an unique feature of the Lewis ft Clark Centennial. Guild's Lake, which is the 'largest body of water enclosed within an exposition fence, (Separates the mainland and the Government pen insula, and Is apanned by the Bridge of Nations and the Trail, which are aggre gately over 2,000 feet long. Chief En gineer Thompson has planned to place rows of fifty candle power incandescent lamps on the bottom of the lake on each side of the Bridge- of Nations. The lights will be enclosed in air and water tight marine receptacles, and when the Illumination is accomplished it will be possible for spectators on the bridge to look down and see fish swimming in the lake. In order to make the effect as attract ive as possible, the lake will be .filled with fresh water fish of various kinds, such as .lake trout, catfish, bass, mullets and sun fish. Water plants will also be Placed on both sides of the bridge. j To complete the picture, the surface ;of the lake will be dotted with Indian i canoes, propelled by representatives of ;the Indian tribes through whose country , Lewis and Clark passed in their historic pilgrimage a century ago. Besides these there will be a myriad of other craft, ranging from row boats to racing launch es of the latest pattern. A GREAT INDUSTRY. There Is much demand throughout the country for good hop land, and espec ially in Benton and Polk counties. The past two or three years of successful hop growing has caused many farmers to turn their attention toward this great Industry, and the result is that 'each year the acreage of hops . is increased considerably. This trend toward hop growing has also been the cause of rais ing the valuation ef land in hop growing sections, and especially land that is suit able to hop farming, The latest estimate on the Oregon hop crop for 1904 is placed at 85,000 bales. While this year's crop falls short of the 1903 production, the revenue derived from it exceeds that of last year by by more than $1,000,000. The price received In very few instances went above 15 cents, while this year almost the entire crop of the state sold for prices ranging from 25 to 32 cents, even the small amount that! was contracted' brought from 15 to 18 cents per pound. ? ! J Oregon produces more than one-third of the entire hop yield of the United States. Putting the average price re ceived for this year's crop at . 25 cents per pound, the Income on this one com modity will be close to $5,000,000. . , DIED. . ' . Elizabeth Roberts, aged 72 years, died December 11, 1904, at Liberal, Clackamas county, Oregon.. .

Mrs. Roberta, or Mother Roberts, as she ,was .best, known, , was born In New South Wales, In 1832 and Was married to Mr. Roberts in 1859, emigrating to America In 1W. A mother In Israel Is gone. MAMMOTH EXHIBITION - PALACE. Demands For Spsce Make Necenssry New Exhibit Building. Portland, Dec. 29. In order to provide for the best of the overwhelming array of exhibitors who wish to participate In the lwls & Clark Centennial, it has been necessary to make a readjustment of the exhibit buildings and to provide for 30,000 square feet of additional space. This space will be added to the new exhibit palace recently provided by the executive board, so that the building will contain 90,000 feet of floor space, and equal In size the the Agricultural Palace, the largest building at the Exposition. With this additional space It will be possible to provide for all exhibitors. The new structure will be known as the Palace of Manufacturers, ' Liberal Arts, and Varied Industries. It will be located near the Plaza of States, due East of the Agricultural Palace. The cost will be about $60,000. and bids for the construction work will be called for at an early date. l The readjustment Hhade necessary by the o"rwhelrning demand for exhibit space will result in the Foreign Exhib its building Joeing given over exclusively to Oriental exhibitors, instead of being used to house the displays from all na- tions, as was originally . the plan. In officers are dissatisfied with their prea this building will be the exhibits from t salaries and will ask their legislative. Slam, Corea, East Indies, Turkey, Al- geria, Persia, Japan and Clilua. The building formerly designed for Liberal Arts will be called the European build ing, and will contain exhibits from Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Belgium. The educational exhibit will be located In the new Palace of Manufacturers. Liberal Arts and Var ied Industries. LEWIS A CLARK FAIR .NOTES. It is estimated that the attendance at the .Lewis c Clark Centennial will be between 1,250.000 and 1,500,000. The American Inn at the Lewis ft Clark Centennial, which wilt be located on the Exposition grounds, will contain over 000 guest rooms. The new building for the Lewis It Clark Centennial, made necessary by the de mands for exhibit space, will contain 90.000 feet of floor space. A Cuban exhibit from St. Louis Is on Its way to Portland, where the contents will be exhibited at the Lewis ft Clark Centennial. The car is called Cuba on Wheels. A Commercial Club has been organized at Albany, Oregon, to exploit Albany and Linn county.

The project of a camping ground to be located on the hills behind the Lewis ft Clark Exposition is being agitated. Those favoring the project, argue that farmers and ranchers will want to drive to Port land and camp out, and that Eastern people will enjoy the. novelty of a few days of tent life. Shtvely's Opera House, Tuesday, Jan. 3d.

One critic describes her thus: "A little wlll-o-the-wisp, all .tears one moment, all smiles the next. A veritable dramatic cocktail that intoxicates with pleasure, and withal an artist to her finger tips." Miss Heath has a long list of successes to her credit but in the char acter of Jo. Pemberton, 'the boy,' in "For Mother's Sake" she has reached the crowning zenith of characterization. A57.
