Charles A. ( raves, county sur
veyor of Crook county; Erwin N.
Wakefield, formerly a partner of
Congressman Williamson in the
sheep business; Ora L. Parker and
Robert 15. Foster were indicted
Saturday by the federal grand
jury on the charge of conspiracy
to- defraud the government of
public lands.
The indictment is the outgrowth
of the prosecution of Williamson,
(.iesner and Piggf, which ended
three days ago in a verdict of
guilty. The defendants in this
latest indictment took up timber
claims in the vicinity of the Wil
liamson ranch with the intention
of conveying them to Williamson
anfi Gesner. The specific .charge
against them is that they pro
cured Sarah -F. Parker, Laura A.
Foster, Monii Graves and Laura
P. Iiiggs to make false proofs of
timber entry. v The four women
took up claims and in their affi
davits they swore that they had
made no contract or agreement
to sell them to anyone else,. where
as in fact, it is alleged, they had
agreed to sell the lands to Wil
liamson and Gesner.
During the Williamson trial
District Attorney Heney ssnted to
the jury that Wakefield w;as equally
guilty with the defendants in that
case and should . have been in
dicted with them. Wakefield,
Graves, Foster and Parker wetc
said to he withholding evidencd
from the government and as soon
as the trial was concluded Mr.
llenev directed the attention of
the grand jury to them. Th
result was the indictment, returned
Saturday.
At the request of the district
Last May 1", X. E. Imhaus,
who for years has been the man
ager for a French syndicate own
ing the Flagstaff mine near Baker
City, patented a process for ex
tracting an oil from sage brush
which is used as the basis of com-;
mercial perfumeries of high grade.
In making this extraction a pulp
is formed from which paper of
good quality is made. Mr. Im
haus' letters patent promise to be
exceedingly valuable and if he
puts either one or both products
on the marlt there will be a rev
olution in commercial circles.
Everybody knows that they pay a
very high price per ounce for high
grade perfumery and that the pro
ducts they buy are not all essence
of the scent named on the bottle.
Only a drop or two of violet for
instance is put in an ounce of
some base oil to make a violet
perfume. This base oil itself is
very rare and valuable and this is
what Mr. Imhaus has secured.
The commercial world knows
that paper of all grades is getting
to be a valuable commodity and
that tho material from which it is
mde is growing scarcer every
year. Wood pulp is becoming a
scarce article in the United States
on account of tho rapid destruc
tion of the kind of trees from
which it is composed. As a result
common newspaper has advanced
at a high percentage during the
past two years.
The first sheet of paper ever
made from sage brush is now on
exhibition in the First National
Bank in Baker City. Thfs is of a
yellowish tinge 4ut there is a sam
pie in Paris that is pure white and
of good quality.

A new cast is thrown over the
political complexion of the Second
District by tlie conviction of Con
gressman John X. Williamson
says a Telegram dispatch from The
D.illes. While the situation is
not altogether different from what
it has been for several months, it
has becoro" permanent. With
the conviction of Mr. Williamson
before' 12 of his peers he parses
out ot the arena as an active
political entity.
But there might have been
another outcome. If the star de
fendant in the Federal Court
drama had been acquitted, he
could and, his friends say. would
have come out for vindication;
and he might have been re-elected.
There might have been a reaction
of sentiment in his favor.
Who is the man that will take
his place? is a weighty problem
among the Republicans of this
Congressional district. The an
swer is yet to come, but it is said
there is a strong likelihood that
Malcolm A. Moody will undertake
to win back the seat he lost two
years ago at the Second District
convention. Then Moody's repre
sentative on the floor of the con
vention seconded Williamson's
nomination. Moodv was an ac
tive candidate for the place then
but was overwhelmingly defeated.
He lost graciously, however, and
made no new sore s;ots.
Moody has been talked, of .Jc
United States Senator and for
Governor. He has made no pub
lic announcement of his plan?.
Some say his private business is
taking all his time. But those
who are close to him believe that
he is most likely to seek re-election
to Congress.
Still, there is promise of a bitter
fight, should Moody come out afier
Williamson's seat in Congress.
Friends of the convicted Solon are
sore deep down. That Moody has
been credited with having insti
gated the prosecution was made
evident at the Williamson trial in
Bomeof the correspondence offered
in evidence. This is almost cer
tain to leave its impression on the
two factions, and it is a safe pre
diction that if Moody is a candi
date some at least of the William
son forces will strain every energy
to encompass his defeat.
The Williamson following in
Eastern Oregon is strong, bui
whether it is sufficient now to un
do Moody or a man of his choict
at the primaries or at the polls is
questioned. With the conviction
of W llliamson his organization is
certain to suffer in many degrees.
With the exception of Moody,
no other likely candidate has put
in an appearance thus far. Fre
quent mention has been made of
Dan J. Malarkey as a possible
candidate, but Mr. Malarkey denies
that tie has at this time any am
bitions in that line. It is known
that he will be a candidate for
President of the Oregon State Son
ate at the next session of the Legis
lature, and some regard him as a
Congressional possibility, but the
Senator savs he is not, at this
time.
John L. Rand, too, has been
mentioned for the office, and the
same is true with regard to the
United State.s Senate. The Baker
City man is known to he a candi
date for Federal Judge, and thu
what his real designs may he is
only conjecture at present.

ATTENDANCE WILL
REACH yM,0;
The grand total of attendance at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
wiil approximate the 2,.r00,0C0
mark, Fair officials say. The
general opinion is that nothing
short of very bad weather ran
stem the title of Fair-going human
ity, and cut down that total.
F. B. Davison, chief of the De
partment of Admissions, gives out
an estimate in which he predicts a
total attendance of 2,400,000. This
is based Vm the assumption that
weather conditions will be favor
able. The prediction is. just 40 -
000 short of the grand total which
the Exposition officials hope to
see by October 15.
The total attendance up to last"
night was 2,206,335. This is 2:13,-
665 short of the 2,500,000 itand-
arf, and is 193,665 le3 than Mr.
Davison's estimate of the probable
attendance. For the remaining
12 daya of the Exposition a daily
average attendance of 19,400 will
lie required to reach the 2,500,000
goal. Mr. Davison's prediction
will be realized if there is a daily
average of something over 16,00".
While nearly all Portlanders
havo seen the Fair and the attend
ance of local people will probably
be somewhat less in proportion to
that of oufsiders, since the grand
showing on Portland day, the Ex
position officials are counting on a
large attendance from the general
Northwest. Man' are expect d
from the mines and ranches and
camps of this district, and they
are people who will not stop at

will see it, according to the Fair
officials' reconing. It is probable
that another big crowd will le

EN THOUSAND HUNTERS
GET GUN LICENSES
From a rough estimate that he
has made, Game Warden Baker,
who is now in Portland conferring
with a number of his deputies, is
nclined to the opinion that in the
neighborhood of 10,000 gun licen
ses have already been issued, which
means that amount of money will
be used in tne hiring of deputies
to watch for violations' of the law
throughout the state says the Tele-
sjram. Aot all of tins money will
be available at the present, and it
is expected that a large portion of
it will be held over for use next
year.
When the hunter's license law
was passed, it was made a part of
the statute that the various County
Clerks should remit to the State
Trejisnrer once everv threp mnntl s.
As the great rush for licenses did
not come until opening of the deer
reason ana later ot the upland
bird season, much of the money
may not be rceivad for several
weeks at least. This will handi
cap the work temporarily, but
vhenthelaw is in full operation
there will be plenty of funds.
'From all sections of the state,"
said Mr. isaicer, we have been
receiving good reports. In Doug
las County there have been issued
1000 licenses, and Lane County
has about the same number.
Coos County has been issuing a
number and Multnomah, as you
know, has over 2000. Daring tbe
next few weeks there will be many
more licenses issued, and all told
we vrill have plenty of money.
These funds are available fcr
deputy hire alone, including, of
course, their expenses. I am
allowing the men $2 a day and
their expenses while they are out."
Mr Baker has a number of men
out during the pheasant season,
who are doing good work. They
travel through the sections wlere
the upland birds are to be found
and see to it, so far as poss-ible,
that the law is observed.
