HENEY DENIES THAT I
HERMANN WAS DELAYED.
i
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 5. Fran-1
cia J. 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." It Is quick to relieve,

DRESS BALLINGER UP
IX PINCHOT RAIMENT.
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." -

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal.. Jan. 4.
Following -the rescue of t.'tO tour
ists who were aboard the California

days by washouts and snow in Cnjon

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. When

a sorry spectacle. The food supply

COUNTY COURT IN MOST
l.MPPOUTANT SESSION.
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.
