GREAT CEMENT WORKS. I to realize Bnvtl,l,, , . , ,
To bo Established Right Away Near
City of Portlmid.-
The dream of Portland boosters
..u uuuuers is auout to be realized.
Portland Is to have a great cement
ummiiaciunng plant, to cost $5nrt -
woe, ana work on Its construction
will begin within the next 60 davs
. The thousands of tons of cement tliat
are used in building, irrigation con-
nnuuuoii ana pavements in the Pa
cific NorthweBt are brought long dis
tances by rail and ocean transporta
tion. After this year it will be manu
factured at a new plant to be built
on the Willamette river bank a few
miles above Portland. The company
is financed by residents of Portland,
Utah and farther east. The mar. at
the head of the organization is C.
W. Nibley, a practical cement manu
facturer, who.llves at Salt Lake City.
The foregoing Item from the Se
attle Builder and Engineer is of es
pecial interest to Roseburg and
Douglas county, for the reason that
there are large, deposits of due ce
ment located near here. One of
these, located about six miles south
of town, was purchased about n
ago by Mr. Nibley and his associates
and doubtless the output from that
deposit will be shipped to the new
manufactory as soon as it is ready
for operation. This will mean the
steady employment of a large num
ber of men In our vicinity.
Other deposits of fine cemen- reck
are known to exist In this county
nut as the owners refuse to 3i: the
property and it costs approximately
half a million dollars to erect a plant
for Its manufacture, no one is likely

American battleship fleet, which sail

the British colonies In the Antipodes,
will be given a warm reception by
the officials and people of New Zea
land and Australia the feeling In the
mother country is far from cordial.
As a matter of fact, John Bull Is a
little Jealous of Uncle Sam and some
of the London newspapers even
charge the latter with an attempt to
alienate the affections of King Ed
ward's dominions beyond the seps.
The Australians have appropriated
about a half million dollars for the
entertainment of the fleet and this
is branded as ''extravagant", by the
British press.

Gives no Evidence of Coaching by
Prosecution.
Portland Oregonlan, July 23: I.
Thomas Agee, principal witness for
the government in the Booth-Slngle-ton
conspiracy case, yesterday testi
fied that in 1900 he made an agree
ment to Bell his lieu land selection
to tho Booth-Kelly Lumber Company
for $300. The witness said the agree
ment was made with Thomas E Sin
gleton and that the Bret payment of
$50 on the consideration was paid by
James Henry Booth, at the Roseburg
Land office, when Booth waB the re
ceiver. Agee hud told only In pnrt
his version of the alleged conspir
acy when court adjourned. His ex
amination will be resumed by United
States Attorney McCourt this morn
ing.
Agee Is not a brilliant witness,
having a decidedly poor memory. In
his testimony he is quite uncertnln
as to exact dates, prefacing his state
ments Invariably with "I think.'
He certainly does not give evidence
of any coaching he may have receiv
ed since reaching Portland two weeks
ago, since which time he has been
attended daily by a special deputy
marshal. If he has been primed for
the case, he very effectively disguises
the fact while on the Witness stand.
He Is slow In responding to ques
Ions and it Is only by the most pa
tent work on the part of the District
ittorney that the story Is drawn out
f the witness. Agoe Is 50 years of
ige and has resided all of his life
n Douglas county.
Offered $:!( for Claim.
It was admitted by Agee that from
1891 to 1897 he lived at Oak Creek.
Douglas county, which he claimed as
Ills residence. He told of making a
trip to eastern Douglas county in the
rail or 1892, accompanied by Charles
Stearns and "Pug" Atterbury and of
locating on his homestead the fol
lowing June. Between 1893 and
1890, Agee said he visited the claim
not to exceed four times and during
the year 1895 rented a farm at Oak
Creek.
"In the spring of 1900," testified
the witness, "I saw Singleton lu Oar-
den Valley. He wanted to know
what I would take for my home
stead, but I told hi in I did not know
'hat I wanted to sell It. Then Sin
gleton said: 'Bob,' meunlng Robert
A Booth, 'will give you $300 for the
land.' I agreed lo accept tho offer
and Singleton said he would see the
3oolh boys about It.
"Not long afterwards I met Sin
gleton who told- me to go to town
and Henry Booth would give me $50
on tne place. A row days later I
went to Roseburg and called on Hen
ry Booth at the land ofllce. I asked
him how he was fixed for money and
tie replied that he guessed he had
some. I then told him that Single
ton had told me to call on him and
he would give me $50. Henry then
gave me that sum."
Protest Admission of Ix'ticra.
Over the objections of counsel
for the defense, Judge Wolverton
yesterday admitted as evidence for
the prosecution several letters from
the official letter press copy book of
the Roseburg land ofllce. The pur
pose of the letters was to show that
ex-Register Bridges was In Roseburg
on December 7, 1900, when Agce's
ieu land application was made out
by James Henry Booth, although the
paper contained a notation that
Bridges was absent from the city at
he time, and furthermore that
Bridges did not apply for leave of
absence until December.
The prosecution declared further
that it would be shown by the letters
hat if the Agee lieu land applica
tion papers had been forwarded to
Washington on December 7 they
would have reached the general land
office not later than December 12,
whereas they were not received there
until December 17. Allowing the
customary time of five and one hair
days ror transmitting mail rrom
Roseburg to Washington, tho gov
ernment inferred that the papers in

the Agee application did not leave I
Roseburg before December 12, or Ave '
days subsequent to the date of the
letter. In the meantime, contended
tne government, one of the letters,
dated December 10, from James Hen
ry Booth, as receiver, to an appli
cant for the same land, advised the
applicant that the land already had
been filed on.
The real purpose of offering these
letters lu evidence, it was admitted
by the government's prosecutors, was
to Bupport the contention of the pro
secution that Booth had a criminal
intent and was proceeding In a man
ner mat would Insure Agee's getting
the lnnd so that he could convey the
iana suusequently to the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company, In compliance
wun tne alleged conspiracy.
Contention of Defense.
Mr. Malarkey and Judge Webstor,
for the defense, contended that the
letters had reference to the selected
i-u miiu wiuiu uie muiciment cnarg
ed that fraud had been committed In
the entry, settlement and improve
ment of the reservation lnnd. For
mat renson they challenged the rele
vancy of the evidence.
In overruling the objection, Judge
Wolverton hold that the scope of the
Indictment included all transactions
affecting the transfer of Agee's
nomestead Tor a lieu land selection
since tne letters were Included In
the official records of the land office
and related to the alleged fraudulent
transactions on which the Indictment
was based, the court ruled that thoy
were relevant and admissible.
j. e. woous, or r-'orest Grove, was
called during the afternoon and tes
tified as to publishing In the Spring
field News notice of final proof by
Agee or his claim. Mr. Woods said
he received the money ror the advor
tisemcnt In a check from Jnmes Hon
ry Booth, receiver of the Roseburg
land office. On cross-examination,
however, he explained that this was
customary and not to be construed a
suspicious circumstance. Mr. Woods
said that It Invariably wns the nrac
tlce of the entrymen to leave with
the receiver of the land office the fee
for publishing their final proof no
tlce and that the money was always
remitted by Unit official to the nub
Usher upon tho receipt of the proof
or implication.
