COURT MART AL EVEN CONSIDERED Staff Officers Deny Probability of Charges Against Abercrombie. ALL ILL-FEELING DENIED Transfer of Colonel From Fort Wright Made for Reasons Pure ly Military Civil Affairs Are Not Involved. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.. Feb. 16. (Special.) Major J. M. T. Partello. Twenty-fifth Infantry, report ed at the post today for temporary duty connected with the regular ses sion of" the court-martial at the post. In view of the fact that the reports have been given out that Major Par tello was here to confer with General Maus relative to the relief of Colonel Abercrombie from command of Fort Wright, at Spokane, the following- full statement of the facts was given out by staff officers at department head quarters this afternoon: "The coming of Major Partello has no connection with the Investigation of Colonel Abercrombie. He Is here simply as a member of a general court martial at Vancouver Barracks. "There is no Intimation here at this time of even a consideration of a court-martial for Abercrombie. It ap pears that some one Is Insisting in the press that Colonel Abercrombie is be ing punished because of the use of the jail for civil prisoners. This is Incor rect, and Is misleading the Spokane officials, according to press reports. Reasons Purely Military. "Another complaint is that General Maus angered the Grand Army of the Republic about the band not being al lowed to play at Spokane. This mat ter is entirely in the hands of the post commander, and would never have been heard of excepting a protest was made by a musical union in Spokane. As Lieutenant - Colonel Abercrombie was never in the Spanish-American War. but In Alaska at the time, the ac tivity of the Spanish War Veterans in his behalf is hard to understand. "The facts are that the reasons for Abercromble's relief are purely mili tary and according to law. It was made upon the report of the Inspector General and was entirely without ref erence to prisoners or any civil matter. "The Inspector-General was sent to Fort Wright to investigate certain complaints made by officers against the post commander. His report with ref erence to this investigation and post administration resulted in Colonel Ab ercromble's being relieved and ordered to Fort Lawton. Retirement Is Approved. "Colonel Abercrombie would have been ordered to Fort Lawton for duty, but asked for retirement on 3(T years' service. That has been forwarded as approved, and four months' leave of absence granted him. The questions of jealousies or ill feelings as existing here are , purely fabrications. The same is true of any other unkind mo tive toward this officer. The same may be said of the remarks about General Maus hurting the feelings of Mr. Lam bert, Acting Chief of Police of Spo kane. "At the present time Major Karnell, an officer of wide experience and high ability. Is in command at Fort Wright. "It might seem natural that the Spo kane authorities would correctly in form themselves before being con cerned in or taking a part In this pub lie matter."

Pormer Springfield, Mas., "Woman Writes of Mrs. Mary Booth. THE DALLES. Or., Feb. 15. (To the Editor.) From a fairly intimate knowledge of all the circumstances connected with the matter of the Bllas-Vinton money dispute In Springfield, Mh., 1 am of the opinion that if George D. Dunn, of Rochester, N. T., claims the property left by George D. Nelson, then he claims what should never be ht by any moral right. The history and rise of Gorge IX Nelson . h eaualled only by the ten-cent- thrill ers on the newatands. From a stable boy and hostler to the manager and sole hetr to a large estate, and to the exclusion of right ful heirs, 1b indeed a rise In the world. The long years, during which .Vlson gained such an ascendency over a childless and Invalid widow, subverting her to his will in everything in relation to money interests at least, served hia purpose in every way. The money now in question never belonged to Bliss Vinton, but came to Mrs. Vinton through her father, Benjamin Ooodrlch. Her name was Emma Goodrich and she and b-er brother Frank, now deceased. Inherited their father's property. If Bliss Vinton was ever a paper collar manufacturer. I never knew it. He inherited some property from his father, who was one of the early land holders In Springfield. Mass. Vinton was generally regarded as an idle man, and a lover of fam. horses, and a boo vivant In every respect. Mrs. Mary Booth, of Portland, Or., is one of the rightful hirs of the Goodrich money. The grandfather of the two women, Mrs. Vinton and Mrs. Booth, a Mr. Curtis, furnished the capital which started the father of Mrs. Vinton In business, and Mrs. Vinton, before she was hypnotized by Nel son, talked freely of the just claim which Mrs. Booth had to the -estate, and told re peatedly that she, Mrs. Booth, was gener ously remembered In her will. When I was in Springfield, Mass., three years ago, I vainly tried to se Mrs. Vinton in behalf of Mrs. Booth, whom I knew intimately in Portland. After I returned to Oregon, when the news came that Mrs. Vinton's entire estate had been left to Nelsop (and after Judgti Long had decided against breaking the will) I wrote Mr Neln a letter detailing the circumstances of Mrs. Booth. I pictured to him in as graphic a manner as possible the condition of a delicately nurtured wom an, never accustomed to manual labor, and an invalid at that, being cut off from what she had a right to expect would be hers. I knew he had neither wife nor child, and I suggested that from his plenty he send Mrs. Booth a stated sum each month. I inclosed stamped envelope for a reply, but none came. Whether he ever , sent her SENSATION IS DUE IN TRIAL AT BOISE Three Witnesses Expected to Tell Stories Pointing to Guilt of Bankers. CASHIER TO TAKE STAND J. E.

SALEM. Or., Feb. 16. (Special.) Already the Garfield School, com pleted three or four months ago at a cost of $23,000, Is crowded, and arrangements are being: made to erect another new school building. A site has been secured in Englewood, in the northeast portion of the city, and construction work will commence In a short time. The voters recently approved a bond issue of $20,000 to erect the new school in Eng-lewood. The School Board is also negotiating for a site for a new building in East Salem, in the neighborhood of Twenty-third or Twenty-fourth streets, and it is expected that 1911 will see a school In this part of the city. By 1912 or 1913 It will be necessary to provide more room for the High School, which has already outgrown the spacious building erected four or five years ago. North Salem also Is demanding more school facilities, and It is ex pected that within three years it will be necessary to build another schoolhouse in that section of the city. anything I do not know. If Georjre D. Xelson's nephew succeeds in petting tr Goodrich money it will be another one of those cases of the strange miscarriage of justice, where the rightful heirs are robbed and strangers fatten on their Ill-gotten gains. HELEN' X. PACKARD, k APPLE DEMAND GROWS NO DANGER OF OVEK-PUODCC-TION, SAYS O. A. O. SPEAKER. Secretary Williamson Declares Farmer Cannot Be Blamed for Living's High Cost. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, Coiwallis, Feb. 16. (Special.) That the present apparent abnormal activity in apple-raising will not lead to over-production is the substance of an argument made by H. M. Williamson, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, to a large audience Qf farmers, fruitgrowers and business men who are attending the exercises of Farmers' Week. The speaker called attention to the ten dency to specialize in agricultural pro duction as well as in other industries, and arguing from this fact arrives at the conclusion that the days of apple-production in the home orchards is past, and that the production of the future will be In orchards planted and cultivated solely for apples according to up-to-date and scientific methods. In comparing this section of the coun try with other apple-producing districts, Mr. Williamson admits that great quanti ties of excellent apples are produced else where, but he declares the Northwest at present leads all other, districts in scientific orchard practice, which will tend to centralize the industry in this re gion, thereby making It eventually su preme. Mr. Williamson believes that there will be no over-production of fruit, and supports his statement by the fact that the consumption is rapidly increas ing while the production is 40 per cent lower than it was 40 years ago. The second lecture of the evening was delivered by A. F. Buxton, master of the State Grange. Mr. Buxton is a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural College and one of the most successful farmers in the state. His subject was, "The Im provement of Rural Conditions." Mr. Buxton took exception to the fre quent statement that the high cost of living can be traced to the farmer's door. Although admitting that the present prices are very satisfactory to the farmers, he declares that the farmers have nothing to do with this increase, as they are not organized and have no means of com bined action. 1 Mr. Buxton declares that the farmers could not prevent the decline of prices to the ruining or unprofitable point, and therefore advocates their combination not only for th purpose of upholding of prices but because of the influence such an organization would have upon rural conditions generally. He holds that these farmers' associations could materially benefit the good roads movement, and lend valuable aid to the betterment of the rural schools. Salem Thert Is Charged. VANCOUVER. Wash, Feb.' 16. (Spe cial.) Pat White, an ex-convlct, who was arrested and sentenced to 10 days in the City Jail for stealing a clock, was turned over to the Salem, Or., officers this morning and taken to the Oregon capital, where he is wanted on a charge of stealing two overcoats. One of the coats was recovered here. When White had served his sentence he was placed on the ferry and sent across to the Oregon side, where the Oregon officers arrested him. satlonal evidence is expected in the Ket-tenbach-Kester-Dwyer case, now on triaj here, which will involve confessions' by J. E. Chapman, H. J. Steffey and Clarence W. Robnett, .prominent Lewiston citizens, implicated, but now assisting the Gov ernment. This rumor was verified after Peyton Gordon had made his opening address to the Jury this afternoon. Charges .Implicate Cashier . Chapman was cashier of the Lewiston National Bank at the time Government officials found a shortage of $137,000. He was- charged with being responsible for $10,000 of the shortage and will be placed on the stand to tell where this money went and if it was used in the purchase of timber Steffey is a locator and was purchasing agent for Kettenbach. It was through his evidence that Indictments were re turned last Fall! The story he will prob ably tell will relate that he executed a note for $3600, borrowing money from the Kettenbach bank on this and used this amount to purchase two timber claims. Later Kettenbach redeemed the note out of the bank funds and held the paper over Steffey's protest, using it as bank collat eral. Steffey purchased the claims 'through prior agreement with Ketten bach, Kester and Dwyer. Robnett Says Bankers Knew. Robnett was indicted, tried and con victed on the charge of subornation of perjury and on the charge of conspiracy with the other defendants. The charge of perjury was annulled on appeal through a decision in the--Senator Mitchell land-fraud case of Oregon. Robnett was also indicted in the Lewiston bank cases and confessed to being responsible for $93,000 of the shortage. He declares tl. defendants! knew of the shortage and ap proved of It. In his1 confession he will tell of the use made of some of this money in the purchase of timber. These are the three star witnesses on which the Government banks its oase. Today's proceedings in the trial con stituted tno reading of the Ave volumi nous indictments and the. opening state ments to the jury. ' Eugene's Snows May Cause Flood. EUGENE, Or., Feb. 16.

The quintet and a sixth D03-, named WHY MONEY IS BEING MADE BY THOSE WHO BUY LOTS IN ALAMEDA PARK. Two factors enter into every investment. First, the desirabil ity of the thing to be purchased,, and, second, the prices at which Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is not a common, every-day cough mixture. It is a meritorious remedy for all the troublesome and dangerous complica tions resulting from cold in the head, throat, chest or lungs. Sold by all dealers. it may be obtained. On both these counts Alameda Park ranks . as the one best gilt-edge invest ment opportunity offered in Portland today. , Desirability means those qualities which make Alaemda Park a desirable place in "which to live. This residence addition is situated on high ground, overlooking the surrounding country for miles, and the nature of the soil is such as to afford the most perfect drainage, a feature which is of great importance to the health of those who build homes, making water in cellars and rheumatism unknown. The character of, the improvements at Alameda Park are higher than those afforded by any other in the Northwest, including not only ornamental gas posts, hard-surface paving, sewer, gas, water, etc., but wires underground, the finishing touch of a high-class residence district. Besides, there is a wide margin of profit left for all those who purchase lots in Alameda Park. Properties adjoining and with in ferior natural advantages, restrictions and improvements, are selling from $1250 per lot and upward. Alameda Park lots are priced at $850 and upward. Investigation will bear out this statement All Broad way cars run direct to Alameda Park Particulars may be had as to prices and terms at the Alameda Land Company's office, 322 Corbett Building.

The Ingredients of Crescent are crystal lized white of eggs and acid phosphate. Only the freshest eggs will crystalliie, while phosphate is not only the greatest known leavener, but a bone and tissue builder of known medicinal value. Thus the superiority of Crescent Baking Powder for ' cooking and baking is evident. Here is the recipe for the cake without an egg: Three cups flour, one cup sugar, two teaspoonfula of Creacent Baking Powder, half cupful ralsina. one tea spoonful cinnamon, one teaapoonful olovas. one teaapoon ful vanilla, one-half cup lard with amall piece of butter, one and one-half cupa mlllc Filling: and icing if re quired. Uncooked candy Is a Mapleine product. It is a dainty and melting confection, very smooth and soft to the palate, of a rich flavor unlike any other candy made. We give the recipe as follows: One egs. 'one-half teaapoonful Mapleine, one teaapoon ful oold mashed potatoes. 1 lb. powdered sugar, one-half cup broken nuts. To the egg add the Mapleine and cold mashed pota toes, sift In the powdered sugar until it forms a stiff paste, add nuts, turn on breadboard and knead in pow dered sugar to proper stiffness.
