Heuey, specia prosecutor for the United States in the lnnd-fraud I cases, arrived in Portland last night , to take the leading part in the prose- ' c Mon of the charges against Bin ger Hermnnn, of Douglas county, ' who for 1 6 years was a member of Congress from Oregon. Last night Mr. Heney said: I "Some one has endeavored to 1 create the impression through the ' newspapers in Oregon that Dinger : Hermann has been badly treated by , being denied (he privilege of going to trial here dnmig the past five years in the land fraud cases which . are pending against him. The fact, is. however, that Mr. Hermann , never at any time 'requested either personally or through his attorneys that any case against him here should be set for trial or that he should be permitted to go to trial. "The fact Is that Mr. Hermann conid have secured a itrial of his case In 1905. the same year in which he was Indicted, or again In 1906, If hoi had been at all solicitous or anxious j so to do. "After he was tried in Washington in the summer of 1907, he never at nnt. Hmo (tin.ln nnv effnrl tn eel tn trial here. If he had done so the1 Attorney-General would certainly have accommodated him. I make tills statement in a splrLt of fair , play and because the Department of Justice has been wrongly criticized in the matter." A Horrible Hold-up. "Ahout ten ycais ago my brother was. 'held up' in his work, health and happiness by what was believed to be hopeless consumption," writes W. R. Lipscomb, of Washington, N. H. He took all kinds of remedies and treatment from several' doctors, but found no help till he used Dr. King's New Discovery, and was wholly cured by six bottles. He Is a well man today."

"Didn't know that the gun was loaded," was the statement made by a Bheepiherder for William Hyram, in reporting the accidental shooting of Krank Knselman, aged 15. near Canyon City, Grant County, Decem ber 30. The sheepherder had been carelessly handling a 22-calibre rifle which in some manner was dis charged, the ball entering the abdo men of the Ense-lman boy, inflicting a probably fatal wound. While playing "Indian" near Paul ina, Crook county, Dell Eads, aged 15 years, shot Gene Miller, his com panion, with a 22-calibre rifle. The bullet entered the left lung. Chances for recovery are about even.

Tuft Expected to Present Secretary , As Original Conservationist riiu-liot'H Record. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 President Taffs presentation of the Ballinger matter will be made Friday, when. In voluminous form, he will' go over .the entire matter and resennt on conservation. It is expected he will seek to present Ballinger as the original conservationist and will Ig nore Plnchot entirely. A friend of Ballinger predicts that an attempt will be made In the forthcoming investigation to bring out a charge that Pinchot owns many shares of stock in mining companies producing Pocahontas coal in West Virginia, with the in timation that this ownership ac counts for his opposition to the pat enting of the Cunningham coal claims In Alaska, as well as for his interest ill conservation in general. This prediction causes the letting out of a secret thnt long before the Cunningham cases were known of here, Pinchot threw himself into the conservation movement; that he paid the expenses of the famous first conference of governors here at the White House when the Roosevelt policies of conservation were Inaug urated in definite form, these ex penses 'being $(1000 including the provision for entertainment of the delegates, the printing and other ex penses, and that for years Pinchot spent thousands of dollars annually in ithe conservation cases before the Alaska matter became on element. Pinchot does not, as Is well known, oppose the mining of Alaska coal, hut seeks to prevent fraud in the acquisition of conl lands. "Had he an ulterior motive," a friend of Pinchot's said, "or had personal profit been his Incentive, and had he not sought the public good above private gain. It would have been easy for him to get the profit by using his official knowl edge to get a share of these Alaska coal mines. The charges will fall flat. The people believe in Pinchot and know his patriotic zeal." - ABOUT 130 HALF FROZEN tourists rescued. SAN BERNARDINO, Cal.. Jan. 4. Following -the rescue of t.'tO tour ists who were aboard the California Limited, which was stalled for four days by washouts and snow in Cnjon Pass, a large forco of laborers is strengthening the track todny, so the heavy coaches of the Limited can be moved. The iiassengers were rescued late yesterday afternoon after several miles of light trestlework had been constructed, capable of bearing the light day coaches which were run over the temporary structures.

General Tax Levy to be Made and lload Supervisors and Jury List to bo Selected. County Court convened tn Rose burg this morning In what will be the most Important session of the year. Chief among the items ot business to be transacted la the fix ing of the general tax levy, which County Judge Wonacott estimates will not be over i mills, If that much. Last year the levy was tea mills. As in past years, the fixing of the levy will be the last act of the court before adjournment, which will be either next Saturday or sometime during the first or next week. Last year's levy of 2.9 mills for roads will not be duplicated this year. It will probably be 2 mills. At a straw vote of the court, re quested by Commissioner Ryan, several weeks ago, Judge Wonacott and Commissioner Nichols -went on record In favor of a levy of two mills, while Ryan voted for 6 mills. Since then about 40 road districts in the county have voted special levies for road Improvement, and in view of this neither Wonacott nor Nichols are apt to change their previous posi tion when the time arrives tor decid ing the general levy. Anothor Imtiortant matter that ' will occupy tho attention of the court nt this session Is the selection of a list of taxpayers from which Jurors are to be drown for terms of tho Circuit Court In this city during this year. The court will also name a list of Judges and clerks for the general election next November and for ithe primaries. There will also be supervisors appointed for all the road districts In , the county. A start toward this was made this af toruoon, when F. S. Ducketit waa named for supervisor In road district No. 49. No other ordors ot any kind wore made by the court, Its time being taken up for the moBt part with the auditing ot bills and examination of petitions. REAL KSTATE TRANSFERS. C. A. Hedrlck to Myra L.
