UWTEIS WANT CASE DISMISSED
Should Indictment Be Found Faulty

Statute of Limitations.
Portland, Oct. 3.—Willard N. Jones,
Thaddeus 8. Potter and Ira Wade will
face the Federal court this morning
charged with a conspiracy to defraud
the government, provided Judge Hunt
overrules the demurrer to tbe indict
ment, which was argued yesterday by
8. B. Hueton and M. L- Pipes for the
defense and District Attorney Heney
for the government.
. Severs] moves have been made by
the defense to prevent the case coming
to trial, but so tar they have been un
successful, though their efforts have
hindered the consideration. The first
indictment against tbe defendants was
admitted to be defective by the district
attorney and was dismissed, while the
present indictment was returned just
as the statute of limitations was about
to run. A plea in abatement was filed
by the attorneys as the second step, but
this was overruled by the court, upon
which the demurrer was presented.
Yesterday morning it was submitted
upon a statement of contention by tbe
different attorneys interested in the
c^se.
•
The court listened to the argument
on both sides and then took the rhatter
of its decision under advisement until
this morning, when it will make known
its opinion. If Judge Hunt should de
cide for the defense, the defendants
would be enabled to escape prosecution
entirely, as the statute of limitation
has by this time run and no new in-
dictment could be drawn or voted to
replace the present one.

Oregon’s Convict Labor Goes to the About *10,000 Paid on School Land 1
Lost to Buyer.
■'“Stove Foundry People.
Salem — An agreement has been
reached between Governor Chamberlain
and the Loewenberg-Going company for
the leasing of convict labor at the peni
tentiary for a period of two years. The
price to be paid for labor is the same
that hae prevailed in the past, but sev
eral changes have been made in tbe
contract in other particulars.
Because there is a popular desire
that convicts be employed on the pub
lic roads, in which desire Governor
Chamberlain joins, and because tbe
last legislature authorized the-appoint
ment of a commission to investigate
the subject and report to the next legis
lature, the governor refused to make a
contract now for the leasing of convict
labor for more than two years. In
sistence upon the shorter period made
it impossible to secure a higher price
than has been paid in the past— 3J4
cents per hour for each man.
The new contract requires the stove
foundry proprietors to employ not less
than 150 men a day* whereas the min
imum number heretofore has been 100.
There are now 390 prisoners in the
penitentiary. About 100 oi these are
employed bn tbe farm, in the stables,
in the kitchen, and on other work Con
nected with tbe management of the in
stitution,. This leaves 290 to be other
wise employed. Tbe foundry will now
take not less than 150, leaving 140 out
of employment. At many times the
foundry will employ more tlian 150,
but this number must be paid for, even
though not worked.
What to do with the 140 idle men is
now the problem. A lew of them can
be employed on tbe public roads near
8alem under a co-operative arrange
ment with the county court, and a
gang will be put at work grubbing out
a piece of state land on the Reform
idiool tarm.
This will still leave
some idle., probably, at many times of
tbe year.

Salem—Certificates of sale for a total
'of 20,000 acres of state school land 1
have been cancelled in the last few ’
weeks, because of lapse in the payment
.
of Installments within the required
time. Of this aggregate amount of '
land, 7,000 acres is in the limits oi 1
the proposed Blue mountain forest re .
serve, and, according to the rulings of f
the Interior department, the state will
be able to use the land as base for tbe
selection of lieu land.
The original purchasers of the land
have forfeited the payments made,,
amounting probably to «Iff,000 or
more, and the state has the land 4e
sell again. Much of tbe land outside
tbe reserve will probably not be salable
for some time, as the state has raised
the price to «2.50 an acre. Tbe 7,000
acres inside the reserve should find a
market as base for lieb land, at «5 an
acre.«
À large projiortion of tbe certifiâtes
that have been canceled were among
those secured by violation of the law
governing the purchase of state school
land. Prosecution of land fraud cases
has scared many of the holders of cer-
tifiCates fraudulently obtained, and
they have thought best quietly to drop
the whole transaction, forfeit what
they have paid and let tbe state keep
the land.

Black Deposits Near Mouth of Co
lumbia Give Results.
Portland, Oct. 3:— Dr. David T.Day,
chief of the division' Of mining and
mineral resources of tbe United States
Geological survey, announce« that his
experiments with black sands at tbe
Dewis and Clark exposition have been
eminently successful. Dr. Day says the
black sand found in the vicinity of tbe
mouth of the Columbia river is of suffi-
cient value to warrant its being concen-
trated, as it contains valuable minerals
that Will average not less than «7 per
ton. The experiments carried on in
the concentrating pavilion at the expo-
sition proved that a ton of tbe black
sands taken from the Columbia' river
will average «5 in magnetite, or iron,
and «2 in other minerals. He says the
exact value of the gold and platinum
has not been determined as yet, but
that the iron alone makes it valuable
enough to pay the cost of transporta
tion and then leave a splendid profit.
Dr. Day has been experimenting
with these black sands for some time.
He says the extent of the sand beds is
practically unlimited, and that in seme
places they have been found to be 70
feet in depth.
Samples have been
taken from the surface sands and from
the bottom of the liedrf, and the rich
mineral always shows up when the
sand is concentrated. He says the
deeper the sandhis obtained the richer
it is in minerals.

Martinique Workmen for Canal Com

Colon, Oct. 3. — Six .hundred and
fifty laborers from Martinique, brought
here Friday on the French steamer Ver
sailles, under contract to work on the
canal, refused to disembark or to sub
mit to vaccination, which ie imperative
under the American sanitary regula
tions. They clamored to be taken back
to Martiniuqe, asserting that they bad
been misinformed as to the conditions 4
here before they embarked, and that
later they learned these conditions were
intolerable and deadly.
Yesterday morning, however, 500 of .
them were with difficulty persuaded to
land, and these were sent to points
