Opera tors identified with the order of Rail road Telegraphers on the. Northern Pa cific and the Great Northern systems, are expected to strike at noon tomor row unless a final conference in St. Paul changes the situation. The men demand ait increase of $5 in the mini mum wages, wnlch here are 555 and $G0 a month; some concession in respect to hours, and the reinstatement of men discharged on the Northern Pacific The latter demand is probably the most serious question to settle, as the com pany says the discharges must 'stand to enforce discipline. Superintendent A- Beamer, of the Northern Pacific, stated today that If the KtriKe is railed tomorrow he does not believe more than 10 per cent of the operators on the Idaho division would obey the call, because of the men's knowledge of the circumstances leading to the discharge of the men whose cases are at issue, and that the company had made full arrangements to nandle the business if the operators go out.

City Officer a Very Popular Man and Relatives AV11I Make Good Any Deficit. CORVALLIS. Or., July 11. (Special.) At the meeting of the City Council last night was read the resignation of B. P. Greffoz. who has served the city as Police Judge for the past ten years, and was re-elected to office less than two months ago without opposition. Con nected with the resignation is the fact that two weeks ago Mr. Greffoz left Corvallis, ostensibly to visit the Fair, but whose whereabouts are, fpr the "pres ent, unknown to his family and friends. Three letters, one of them conveying the resignation, have been Tecelved. but neither gives any inkling of the missing officers. At the Council meeting" last evening, the committee on finance re ported that ever since last Friday the books of the absent Police Judge had been under Investigation, and that up to the present no determination as to the facts has been arrived at, owing to the manner in which the books have been kept. Mr. Lilly, of the committee, in moving the adoption of a report asking for fur ther time and for authority to employ an expert to Investigate the books of the Police Judge and Treasurer, said that there Is no doubt that a small shortage exists. About that relatives stand ready to make the amount good, the moment It's figures can be ascertained. Nobody knows what the amount Is but those in best position to know do not think it will exceed $500 or $500. The departure of Mr. Greffoz under the circumstances Is widely ascribed to mental trouble, if not mental derange ment, as scores of friends would have stood ready to have helped him out ot his financial difficulties had he made -the facts known. In two of the lettors re ceived since he left Mr. Greffoz makes reference to his shortage with the city. COWBOY ACTS WITH FIREMEN Hook-nnd -Ladder Truck Arrives at Blaze a Wreck. VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 11. (Spe cial.) Aided by a cowboy and his pony the hook-and-laddcr truck made a great run to a fire in the outskirts of town tonight, but the apparatus will need con siderable repair before it can be used again and a number of volunteer fire men are nursing bruised bodies. Fifteen members of Company A re sponded to the alarm and hustled the truck out of the flrchouse at the same moment that the chemical engine, drawn by horses, was starJed. Clad in chaps and other real cow tog, a Vaquero sat his pony a spectator, until moved to action by the appeals of the panting volunteers. A quick throw of the lariat caught the ond of the truck tongue. a turn of the rope about the saddlehorn, and they were off. Within half a block of the blaze the cowboy 'swung his mount around a corner, the flromcn lost control of the truck and the unwieldy affair made three complete summersaults, throwing the men in all directions and rendering several un conscious.

CHARGE 15 FORGERY H H. Turner and A.J. Kelliher Arrested at Salem. CHICAGO MAN SHOWS FIGHT Fraud Is Alleged to Have Been Prac ticed In Securing Tracts of Ore gon School Land Arraigned : in, tli e Afternoon. SALEM. Or.; July 11. (Special.) Justice of the-Peace HVH. Turner of this city, and A. T. Kelliher, of Chicago, were ar rested today upon Indictments charging them with the forgery of applications for the purchase of state school land. The Indictments were presented by the grand Jury three months ago, but tho arrests were not made until today, for the rea son that Kelliher has been out of the state. The two men were arraigned this afternoon -and were given until Thurs day to plead to the two Joint Indictments filed against them. Specifically the charge is that in Au gust, 1902. the defendants forged applica tions to purchase state school land, sign ing the names "J. F. Austin and H. L Palmer" to applications In the usual blank forms. The applications bear the eai and signature of Charles E. Lenon, a notary public in this city. The prosecu tion expects" to show that Turner took the applications to Lenon and told him that the papers had been signed by the persons whose names appeared thereon and asked Lenon to affix his name and seal as notary- Lenon, desiring to be accommodating, acted as requested, though neither of the persons whose af fidavits he recorded had ever been seen by him. Kelliher's connection with the transac tion does not appear, but presumably the certificates of sale procured upon these applications were afterward assigned to him, and the prosecution expects to show that he was a. party to the fraud. The indictment charges that the appli cations were forged with Intent to cheat and defraud, but It is not stated whom the defendants intended to defraud. The contention of the defense may be that there was no intent to defraud, for the state was paid the price it asked for the land. The witnesses whose names were ap pended to the indictment, and who were examined before the grand Jury, were State Land Agent Oswald West. Charles E. Lenon, H. H. Turner and Paying Tell er A. A. Cunningham, of the Ladd & Bush bank. "It is supposed that Cun ningham's testimony relates to the pay ment of money by Kelliher to Turner or by Turner to some other person. Kelliher came back to Oregon with his fighting blood up and he gave the prose cution notice that he will let them know they have been In a scrap. Sheriff Cul ver has had warrants In his handy for some time, but has been awaiting the return of Kelliher to Oregon. Kelliher read ln the newspapers that an Indict ment hung over him and he came back Saturday so as to bo here on the first day of the term of court. Sheriff Culver met Kelliher this morning and after ex change of a few pleasantries asked him If he would come up to the circuit court at 1 o'clock. "No. sir. I won't," responded the deal er In state lands. "I came to Oregon to put myself within the jurisdiction of the courts of this state. If you want me you can get me. but I won't go into court of my own accord. I want j'ou fellows to understand that I'm going to fight this matter to a finish. If you want me you can arrest me." Sheriff Culver smiled good naturedly and gently suggested that Kelliher go up to the courthouse at once, thereby plac ing one of Oregon's largest land operators under arrest and precipitating a legal contest that promises to be a warm one. Turner promised to be in court at 1 o'clock without the formality of an ar rest, but when court convened he was not there. The court waited a few mo ments and Judge Bennett suggested that the prosecution had no right to expect a man to be there unless a warrant had been served on him. Sheriff Culver went out and soon returned with Justice Turn ner. District Attorney John H. McNary will conduct the prosecution, while W. 1L Holmes will defend Kelliher and Carson and Adams will represent Turner. It Is doubtful whether the. cases will get to trial at this term of court, as the In dictments will probably be attacked by demurrers and motions.

MQORE IN CONTEST Candidacy Declared for Con gress From First District, SIX ASPIRANTS FOR PLACE AH Arc Ready Talkers and Flood of Oratory Is Expected When the Campaign Is Fairly Un der Way. CANDIDATES TOR CONGRESS. Marlon Countr C. B. Moored TV. I Tooxe. T. B. Kay, TV. C. Hawley. ' Jackjon County "W. I. Vawter. Linn County P. R. Kelly. Lone County I. H. Bingham. SALEM. July il. (Special.) Charles B. Moorcs, of this city, has entered the race for the Republican nomination for Con gressman from tho First District, thus giving Marlon County four aspirants. The others arc: Walter L. Tooze. T. B. Kay and W. a Hawley. though the latter two ha-e not yet declared their Intentions. The entry of Moores into the contest promises to give the primary campaign lively Interest, for Moorcs Is a campaigner of endlesa, resources. In serious debate, witty repartee and story telling, he is always ready; he Is a good "mixer." though not as good a handshaker as the unequaled Hermann; he is well posted on National subjects, widely acquainted over the district, and a tireless worker. His friends predict that If he does not win he will-at least make his opponents "go some." Tooze. Kay "and Hawley are also good public speakers, and If the primary con test should develop Into a stump-speaking campaign, the people of this Congressional district will learn more about present-day problems in National politics than they have ever known before. In a primary campaign, where the contest Is between Republicans, there can be no appeals to party records and party loyalty, for the question will not be whether the party has shown Itself worthy of continuance In power, but rather which of the candi dates Is best fitted to represent the Re publicans of Oregon In the contest against the Democrats. What the aspirant for a nomination thinks or knows about National questions and what he can do for Oregon will re ceive the consideration of voters when they go to the primaries. After a candi date has been nominated and the Demo crats try to defeat him, the fight on party lines will begin. Marlon County has more than half the probable candidates for the Congressional nomination. The others who are counted as candidates are: W. I. Vawter. of Jack son County: P. R. Kelly, of Linn, and I. H. Bingham, of Lane. All of these gen tlemen .are good public speakers. Walter L. Tooze Is the most polished orator of the list, but is not given much to humor. Kay and Bingham 'pay little attention to oratorical style, but strike out from the shoulder in a rough-and-ready way. Hawley la naturally a serious debater, and handles his subjects as, one might expect a college professor to' do after making a thorough study of polit ical economy in all Its phases. He is also a" good story-teller. Vawter arid Kelly are ready speakers, and have a forceful way of putting their arguments, but sel dom resort to stories in their public ad-, dresses. All the men named have excellent voices for public speaking, and in the halls of Congress any one of them would have no difficulty in securing and retaining the at tention of their fellow-Congressmen. ' All have been active campaigners for the Republican party, and if they go on the stump before the primary election. It Is safe to say there will be some speech making that will be worth hearing.
