OREGON A EIGHT V VKAIM OF AGK WOMAN' AND Ul'.N 8AVK TRKE. SALEM. Or., July 10. Armed with a aU-sbooter and 'an unflinching de termination, Mrs. Ella Watt, grand organizer of the Order of Artisans, this morning held at bay an Oregon Electric construction crew which 'sought to cut down a big maple tree in front of her residence. The tree stands Just inside the curb line at the corner of High and Mill streets, where the Oregon Electric Is constructing Its new "Y." The curve of the "Y" encroaches upon the curb llnei and, in anticipation of damage to the tree, Mrs. Watt had appealed to the city park board for protection to her property. The park board no tified the company not to cut the tree. but bright and early this morning a gang of men began preparations to use the ax and saw. Without hesitation. Mrs. Watt armed herself and went to the rescue Upon her appearance the men desist ed. Chief of Police Gibson was sent for and be ordered the men not to proceed. Negotiations are now un der way for an agreement that will be satisfactory to all concerned. Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble.

A unique feature in Circuit court cir cles In this county Is the two com plaints filed by Bagley Hare where in one woman, Mary Sims. Is suing two different defendanta for divorces. The woman in the case is Mary Sams, and her first suit is against Gardner Sams, who she married In Dayton, Wash., In 1S81. She alleges that thev lived together until 1895, when Sams deserted her at Walla Wa:ia, after telling her that their marriage aits Invalid, because he had not compiled with the law In procuring a license, and because the officiating minister was not duly ordained and did not make proper return. Her second complaint is against Rimer Nolan, whom she married in Umatilla coun ty late In 1S96, believing her forn.er marriage void. She aaya that after her marriage to Nolan the 'Irat hus band had the two arrested for big amy, of which charge she and N dun were acquitted. During these years, the complaint states, she was tx poor to get her cases into oour'.. Old she asks for legal separation from both men and the custody of it minor child by Nolan. She tlnda her firs, marriage, to Sams, waa valid, and de sertion Is her cause of complaint.

Continued prosecution of pending Oregon land fraud cases will be the program of the government according to Tracy C. Becker, special assistant to the attorney-general, who has returned from San Francisco, where he has been in conference with Francis J. Heney since the close of the Jamea Henry Booth trial a week ago. While Mr. Becker would not discuss the sit uation at any length, he ia authority tor the statement that these trials will be held, beginning with the R. A. Booth conspiracy case next Thurs day. It is the evident Intention or the government finally to give the various defendants the trials some of them have been demanding ever since the Indictments were returned over three years ago. There Is not much to be said," replied Mr. Becker yesterday, when asked the result of his conference with Mr. Heney. "These land-fraud cases will De prosecute vte win begin next Thursday with the trial of R. A. Booth and others on a charge of conspiracy as was arranged be fore I went to San Francisco." Has Mr. Heney altered his plans regarding the land-fraud cases?" was asked. It Is the Intention of Mr. Heney to take the part in the further trial of those cases that he repeatedly has suld he would. He will come to Portland personally to try tue case against Hermann and also to retry Williamson whenever these defend ants are ready to go to trial." We are still working on the case, responuea sir. tsecaer, wuen asked It he could tell when the gov ernment would Institute its suit against the Oregon California rail road company In the land grant case. During the day Mr. Becker held a conference with B. D. Townsend, special assistant to the attorney-general, and with whom he will be asso ciated in the prosecution of the land grant suit. The announcement by Mr. Becl cr, following a conference with Mr. He ney, that the land-fraud trials are to continue la taken to Indicate a de termination by the government to dispose of these cases not later than next October, Including the Hermaun and Williamson trials. Confirms tlon of this program of action bv the government la also found in the dis patches from Washington last week announcing that T. B. Vctihauaen, former special Inspector, hut now serving aa special agent and attorney to the general land office, wo M l be dismissed October 1, next. Ac sort ing, to these dispatches, th re'na- tlon of Mr. Neuhausen would be ther prosecution of the land-fraud trials snd for that reason no attempt la to be made to oust him until Oc tober. In the meantime the government probably will be able to conclude the trial of these cases or otherwise dis pose of them, for there long has been a rumor to the effect that some of tne 10 or 18 untried cases, In which Heney returned indictments In 191). '. will never be brought to trial. It was expected that Heney would dis miss a number of these cases when he was in Portland in February to try the John H. Hall case. It Is now surmised that Indictments over sev eral of the defendants will be held only until the government's prosecu tor comes to Portland this fall to tackle the Hermann and Williamson cases, when some of the minor cases will be dropped. EXPLORES THE INTERIOR. PORTLAND, July . Complet ing perhapa the longest and most thorough tour of Oregon since the old pioneer days, H. A. Hunter, of Minneapolis, and a party of a asoci al es returned to Portland yesterday. They traversed more than 800 miles In Southern Oregon by wagon and on horseback. The party made a thorough atudy of geographical, climatic and other conditions of the vast unknown area comprising the southern portion of this state, instruments were used to test not only the soil, but climatic and atmospheric conditions at var ious altitudes and places. According to Mr. Hunter, the unknown, uncul tivated empire of the aouthern portion of this state offera greater opportunitlea than any other part of America. The party traveled the old mili tary land grant road from the east ern borders of Harney county to the City of Eugene. Not In years, perhapa alnce the day when the ox team and pioneer wended their way Into the wilderness, has the famous old route been followed more closely. For yesrs Mr. Hunter waa con nected with the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in ita land de partment. It la said that he haa sold more land than any man of bis yeara in thia country. He and bis assocl atea are now arranging a huge col onization scheme for Southern Oregon. The company he represents has secured possession of the entire area of land known as the old Oregon Military Land Grant. The tract comprises an area of considerably more than 300,000 acres, and It waa for the purpose of perfecting plans for the colonization and settlement of this enormous district that Mr. Hunter and his party made the ted ious trip. In connection with the plan of colonization the company has opened headquartera in this city, nnd offices In various large Eastern cities. 'We left the train at Austin, In the extreme eastern part of the state," said Mr. Hunter last night. We traveled for more than 800 miles along the old route of the Oregon Military Land Grant road. And after, traversing that section of the state, I want to tell you people of Oregon that you actually don't know what you have. An area big ger than some statea, practically un settled and Just as it waa when the Creator made It, offers more oppor tunities than any tract of land I have ever seen. 'There are grazing lands, fruit lands, mineral possibilities, and, in deed, everything that man could desire. In all that section, especial ly In the vicinity of Lakeview and the Goose Lake valley, we encoun tered numerous surveying partlea. Railroada are doing an extensive amount of skirmish work in South ern Oregon and are evidently pre paring to attempt to get the better of each other in opening up that big territory."
