MORE ARE INDICTED
JURY PROBES DEEPER IN
LAND
FRAUD CASES.
Or. W, H. Davis, Mayor of Albany; 8. B.
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. . '

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.

The project of a camping ground to be

and ranchers will want to drive to Port

people will enjoy the. novelty of a few
days of tent life.
