Jail in default of 260 ball, held to
answer for the larceny of a horse and
Baddle belonging to J. H. Beckley, of
Paulina. She will be tried In Octo

entered the employ of Beckley with
her supposed paramour, a man
named Sheffield, not quite a month
ago. Soon thereafter Beckley was
called to Portland on business and
left his ranch in charge of the couple.
While he was away, the pair, by Miss
Pleice's own confession at the pre
liminary hearing held here, drove off
in his rig, the only excuse given be
ing that both were sick and had to
oDtam memcai assistance in some
town where thore was a physician.
But they failed, Beckley says, to re
turn his property, and the arrest fol
lowed on a warrant sworn out at
Burns, Harney County. Paulina is
In Crook county. Sheffield, if arrest

EVENTS IN OREGON
Settlers of giletc Cry Conspiracy.
Newport An indignant party of
liomesteaders have started for the
Slletz Reservation to protect their
homesteads from a raid which has
Just developed and threatens, if suc
cessful, to transfer to a firm of Port
land attorneys the richest portion of
the rich forest that makes Lincoln
County the Mecca of the speculator.
This party, which consists of the
most influential citizens of Newport,
expects to bring back a crowd of
squatters who, in turn, are expected
to call on the Portland attorneys for
the return of large fees paid out for
locating them on the lands already
proved up.
The story of this transaction goes
back several years. In brief, it Is
this: Over a hundred settlers of
fered proof before the Commissioner
of the Land Office four years ago and
brought their witnesses and paid
their fees to get patents on the land
they had filed on and improved.
Through the report of an inspector
of the Land Office, their final receipts
were held up for "nonresldence" and
each one so notified.
From that day to this these set
tlers have been vainly endeavoring
to get a hearing. Most ot them were
ompelled to leave their homesteads
and seek a livelihood elsewhere In
order to meet attorney's fees and the
expense incidental to the prolonged
and expensive trials at Portland.
nut no trials were set and today
mese men nave been without even a
hearing in the mater.
Congressman Ellis, who is here,
has been besieged by these indignant
men, who assert that it Is time some
one took the matter to Washington
and insisted on a hearing.
There is no doubt that unless im
mediate measures are taken by the
United States to decide the matter
peaceably there will be serious
trouble. The squatters claim that
they have already been to great ex
pense ana nave absolute assurance
that their claims will be recognized.
lhe land In question amounts in
value to about ?7, 500,000, the pres
ent valuation being based on the
price of stumpage.

ARE HUSTLING AT CANBY
FOR THE COUNTY FAIR
Much wors has been accomplished
at Canby at the fair ground for the
coming Clackamas county fair, and
in the past week the race track has
been completed and all that is needed
to make it one ot the best in the state
is a little rain and the proper drag
ging to pack the earth, and with fie
tine elevation that has been given the
work the association lias a most mag
nificent prospect for a very attractive
feature iu the way of a race course.
The large auditorium and exhibit
building is nearing completion and at
the present time has the roof about
done and with a few more days it will
present a very lair-like appearance.
Tho building is 64 x 120 feet and is
two stories high and is built with the
idea of accomodation of unusual ex
hibiting featnres.
The various committees aro work
ing diligently iu every department
and lhe well is progressing finely and
the great fence is under construction.
The grading of the grounds is under
I the supervision of W. H. Counsel!, of
Harmony. W. H. Blair, of Canby,
lias charge of the purchasing; C.
Weismaudel, the buildings. These
men were appointed by tho executive
committee of the association, consist
ing of Thomas F. Ryan, T. J. Gary
and George Lazelh, who have the
affair in charge. R. S. Cob, vice
president of the association, is taking
an active interest aud is helping to
make it a success.
At the meeting of the Warner
Grange last Saturday it was decided
to have an exhibit at the fair, and
' tho members are already making prop
' aratious and will try to secure some
j o' the premiums to lie offered.
There is movement in evory direc
tion and everybody that has anything
to do with the Clackamas county fair
is alive and stirring.
Throughout the county everywhere
the coming fair is being talked of aud
many are preparing to make exhibits
and there will be many fine ones too,
if one can judge from reports tieaid
oa every hand.
whioh convened at Portland Tuesdav
and Wednesday at the convention hall
of the- Chamber of Oommeroo, was
very largely attended from different
sections of the state. Many attouded
from this city Judge Thomas F.
Ryan, Mr. John Adams, Mr. L. E.
Jones and John Luwellen.
The main work of the convention
seemed to be the building up of po b
lie sentiment throughout the state
which would cause a publio demand
for good roads legislation, and whioh
would pave the way for the proper
legislative enactment ot a good roans
law. O. W. Hodson, president of the
Commercial Club, called the oonfor
enoe togotner on Tuesday morning,
and welcomed the delegates from the
state and then introduced County
uuageu. d. iviesBioK, or. Baker uitv.
who presided over the delibera
tions of the body.
There was an afternoon Bession of
the conference and another meeting
in tho evening. Wednesday morning
the visiting county judges, oounty
commissioners, ana many oi tne dele
gates were taken in automobiles to see
the rock quarry at Kelly Butte, the
macadamized roads that the county
oourt is now oouetruoting m Mult no
mnh county at an average of a mile a
month. The grounds ot the Portland
Country Club and Livostook associa
tion were visited and the guests were
shown other points of interest in the
viaiutity of Portland, especially those
whioh had to do with the good road
improvements that have been going
on in mat oounty during the past lew
years. A largor attendance prevailed
at this conference than at any similar
good road meeting ever held in the
state, oansed by the awakening of
public sentiment whioh is demanding
time some donnito ana adequate legis
lution be enacted which will give tho
people legal machinery capable of
constructing good highways iu all
parts of Oregon.
ion thousand dollars is to be ex
pended in Oregon during the next few
months in a campaign of education
for good roads. This instruction is to
he given by Oountv Judge L. R. Web
ster, of Multnomah County aud John
H. Scott, ex-Ooun'y Judgo of Marion
County and president of the Oregon
Good Roads Association, under the
direction of a permanent oommittee
ot. ways and means of whioh John II.
Albert, of Salem, is chairmau.
A committee of eight representa
tive citizens of the state was appoint
ed to draft a good roads law to ho
presented to the Oregon Legislature
uoxt winter. These were the sub
stantial results of the good roads con
ference, which was attended by about
200 delegates from all sections of the
state.
- State Sonator A. L. Johnson, of
Benton Oounty, failed to seoure the
indorsement of his road bill, by the
couforenoo, although for a- time it
looked as though he would win out.
This is the bill passed by the state
legislature and vetoed by Governor
Chamberlain. It provided for the
construction of roads, under the di-
The Oregon Good Roads Conference froetion of a state engineer, the ex
pense to be paid equally by the state,
the county and the owners of prop
erty benefitted by the improvement.
After oonsidenble debate on the
motion the matter was put to rest by
a successful motion by Judge Thomas
F. Ryan, of Oregon City, referring
the question to the oommittee
The report of the oommittee was
evidently a compromise, the mombers
doolining to indorse the Johnson bill,
although it and Judge Webster's reso
lution were both refe-red to the legis
lative oommittee for consideration.
In its report, this oommittee instruct
ed its legislative committee to work
with the legislative committees of tho
Oregon Good Roads Association and
the Oregon State Grange and nrepare
and submit to the state legislature a
bill for the construction of improved,
permanent main highways under the
supervision of a state highway com
missioner. The committee also ap
proved of working convicts in the
construction ot publio highways and
reoommended a law giving to oounty
courts the power to restnot, regulate
and control oounty roads.
The legislative committee named by
the confemnoe and which will draft
the desired bill, consists of: Oountv
Judge J. B. Mussick, of Baser; Sena
tor A, L. Johnson, of Benton: County
Judge L. R. Webster, ot Multnomah;
J. H. Scott, of Marion ; W. K. New
ell, president of the State Board of
Horticulture; A. T. Buxton. Master
of the State Grange ; J. D. Lee, of
Polk ; and Benton Bowers, of Jaok-
8on. The oommittee expeots . soon to
arrange for a preliminary meeting,
wheu plans for its important work
will be outlined.
The oommittee on ways and means
submitted its recommendations which
met with the united approval of the
delegates. This committee reoom
mended the raising by popular sub
scription of I0,0(X) as a fund with
which to conduct a goed roads cam
paign. The employment of Judge
Webster aud ex-Judge Scott was rea-
oommended, their work to be directod
by the membeis of the oommittee
which also askod that its existence be
continued. The meiibors of this com
mittee are; John H. Albert, of Sa-.
lem; A. A. Jayno, of Hood River;
Stato Dairy and Food Commissioner
Bailoy. John 8. lieall, G. W. Evans;
Tom Riohardson, of Portland. W. L.
Crissey was eleotod secretary of the
committee without salary.
A sufficient part of the $10,000 has
already been subscribed that the work
of arousing public seutimont still
further aud educating county offioials
on the subject of road-building oau be
inaugurated as soon as Judgo Webster
and Mr. Soott can arrange thoir
a liars to take up the new work.
lhe conference ended its business
