Money Order Formers Arretted Here. Aceuwd Mod Hud Took and Two Al tered Orders Men Taken T Portland. The arrest of what is believed to be the boldest gang of poBtofflce money or der finder that ever operated in the North eh t wan acc.om pi idied in thia city lam Saturday niijlit br Ollicnra Ed Khaw rid Chas. Nohlitt. Vim. Milla, George Willis and Hugh Carpenter are the names that were given by the men at the time of their arrest, but it Is thought thetie are assumed name. Thanksgiving ''y I'oatniaater Thomas Hamlall was notified that a gang of post olliee inonev forgers waa working this section of the country and be at one warned the merchants of this cltv to re fuse to cash any such orders. But fiat unlay afternoon three fairly well dressed young men entered the city and visited a number of business houses where, af ter making a small purchase, they ten dered what to all appearances was a gen uine postoflke money order, drawn in an amount considerably in excess of the cost of the goods in which they bad in vested. About 9 o'clock Saturday even ing;the trio entered the store of Adams lir ju., and after purchasing some socks and under garments, offend a money order In payment. The proprietor not only refused to cash the paper but dis patched a messenger to notify the police ollicers. Kliaw and Nohlitt were found at once and overtook the three young men at Dimick's livery stable just as they were in the act of leaving the city. The tlio were piai-ed under arrest, and on the wy to the juil one of them dropped one of the forged ordnrs, but the keen eye of the ollicers no' iced the paper fall to the ground and recovered it. Arrived at the city jail, the men were searched anil at a later hour they were removed to the county jail for safe keeping. There was found on the men two foiged money orders, in addition to a compete outfit wj(f, which to accom piitdi the alteration of the money orders. There was found on the men two bottles ol acids that were prepared by a drug- gutt at Turnwater, Vi aahington, a Rand I McNally iiocket map indicating all of the i .1 ii' IHjmoiticeit iu wregou auu naauiitiou with a cross marked before each money order poiiofTice.a quantity of transparent paper wilh'which the tracing of signa tures was made, blotters, stamps, etc. The two money orders recovered from the men were both made out in the sum of $15, and to all appearances were regu larly issued. They bore the signature of Potimster Bancroft of the Portland postotfice and were directed to the Ore gon City otlice, being in favor of V. J. Hoy. The name and initials of Hoy ap iear verv distinctly in the tablet of trac ing paper that was found in the pocket ol one ol the men Mills. Willis and Carpenter were taken to Portland Monday for preliminary bearing before Judge Bellinger. The local police believe they have cap tared three of the cleverest forgers that ever operated in the Noithwest. Willis answers to the description of a notorious forger who has been plying his vocation in the Northwest for two months and one lor whom the authorities of two states have kept a constant lookout. The ac cused men refuse to discuss the charge for which their arrest waa made. The forgers are believed to be the smoothest article of their kind that tbe police ollicers of this state have ever met. They are considered artists at their somewhat unusual line of work. A con stant watch has been maintained by olli cers representing the government for the last two months for a man named Crozier, whom it was known was operat ing throughout tbe Northwest. If one of the men arrested here proves to be Crozier, it will reveal the (act that In his extensive operations he had two capable accomplices. The method under which the foigers operated was to purchase a money order, usually for 25 or 30 cents, of some small office, payable at one of the larger cities. By means of chemicals are erased all of the writing on tbe order and a complete new order is filled out payable at an office different from that named in the original application. The forgers then visited the town upon which the raised and forged order ia drawn, and usually on a holiday or especially Saturday night, tbey purchase a small bill of goods from a merchant, as they attempted to do in this city, and offer the ruined order in payment, requesting the difference in cash. If identification was ever required, the fellow presenting the order would produce from bit pock ets a number of letters that were ad dressed to himself. The alterations in the money orders ran scarcely be de tected by the naked eye. Deputy United States Marshal Roberts and two government postal inspectors from Portland accompanied to Portland Monday afternoon the three young men who were arrested here Saturday night on the charge of forging post office money orders. The men will be arraigned be fore Judge Bellinger in the United States conrt. An investigation of the postal record's of the Fori land office discloses that four money orders for 13, 14, 15 and 16 cents, each, respectively, were pur chased at the Portland office Saturday afternoon by the three crooks. The money orders were all made payable at the Sas Francisco office. Two of these orders were recovered from the men when they were arrested. What has become of the other two orders is not known. The orders that are now in pos session of the ollicers were so altered that tbey appear to have been issued (or fifteen dollars each. By means of chem icals, the name of San Francisco was erased from the face of the two orders and that of Oregon City substituted. The local officers feel satisfied (bat Wil lis, one of the trio, is none other than the notorious Crozier who hat been op erating throughout the Northwest for several months.

A recent issue of the Pacific North west contained the following signed ar ticle f'om Governor Chamberlain con cerning the duty of the people of this state in connection with the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition to be held at Portland in 1!K)5: "The Lewis and Clark Centennial Ex position, to be held in Portland in 11)05, gives to Oregon the distinguished honor of being permitted to have celebrated within her borders the last centennial that can ever be held of the acquisition of territory to the United States by ex ploration and discovery, pi or is that all. It will afford to the citizens of those staU-s which were carved out of the Oregon country the first op portunity they have ever bad of show ing to the world the vast wealth and lu- turn pos ibililies of that immense terri tory. It is fitting, therefore, that all the states embraced within the limits of the original Oregon country should, as they have shown a disposition to do, assist in all possible ways to make the exposition a success. "There have been other expositions held on the Pacific slopes, bat they were rather lor the purpose of exploiting local enterprise and resources than for tbe celebration of an event of national his torical importance, or the bringing to gether of the peoples and products of all the world. II it be Hie duty as it seems the spirit and intent of our sister and adjoining states to give liberal aid and aseistance to this important event, how is it with Oregon? That her people have been in earnest is evidenced by tbe fac'. that Portland alone baa contributed a balf million of dollars in money, and tbe state as much more, whilst ber busi est and best men have not hesitated to ay aside their own private affairs in or der to make this exposition a success. If tbe same zeal and energy which has characterized their efforts in tbe past few months continues to ibe end, there need be no fear of failure. The names of the men at the head of the exposition and of its affairs are a guaranty of success, if they but have tbe united support of tbe whole people. "Stale pride ought to, and doubtless, will, enlist tbe active co-operation of all good citizens. But if that be lacking in any quarter, selhah motives should stim ulate even those few who lag in tbe rear 0! every enter pi ining effort that looks to the upbuilding of the state. "It is well known that very little has ever been done to advertise the resources of tbe state In times past. Numerous railroads center bere, and grow rich on the transportation of our products, but none of them have ever put forth any particular effort to induce immigration or to further commercial and industrial development. Our own people, blessed as they have been with all tbe wealth of climate and resource that nature can be stow, contented and happy in all that goes to make lite worth living, have themselves made little or any tffort to induce immigration or to invite foreign capital for investment in manufacturing and other enterprises. To the salubrity of her climate ; to the fertility of her soil that needs only to be tickled to smile forth an abundant harvest; to the im mense mineral wealth that lies entombed in every mountain side ; to her magnifi cent forests of spruce, hemlock, fir and pine that adorn the hillsides end valleys; to all these combined is Oregon indebted for the progress she has made, rather than to any efforts on the part of her people to give her a leading place in in dustrial enterprise. "But if Oregon would step rapidly to the front in wealth and population, the same coarse must be pursued by her people that has been pursued by the people of other states, and the blessings that have been showered upon them must be held up to be admired and seized upoa by those of other lands. "An opportunity Is afforded by the ex position to be held in Portland in 1905 for exploiting the vast resources of the state, and for showing to the world that Oregon possesses the 'wealth of Oruius and of Ind,' if only the enterprising will take advantage of tbe opportunities that lie within reach of all. "The success of tbe Lewis and Clatk Exposition means an influx of desirable population. An increased population meant an increase of wealth, tbe devel opment of undeveloped territory, tbe establishment of factories and workshops enhanced values of farms and farm pro ducts of every kind, with corresponding advantages that come witb all these combined. It, therefore, behooves our citizens, every man, woman and child of them, to work together for tbe success of an enterprise inaugurated in Oregon, and which, if successfully carried out, will add greatly to the wealth and popu lation not only of Oregon, but of tbe whole Northwest." Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. Kinc'a New Dinroverv for consumption. coughs and colds to be nnequaled. A recent expression from T. J. Mcrarland, Bentorville, Va., serves as example. He writes: "I had bronchitis for three years and doctored all the time without hflinir henefilAit.

When in bloom the trees are invaluable for honey-making, while the wood, which is soft, light and porous, it especially adapted tor manufacturing boxes. Tbia variety of trees is very gen eral in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois and many others of tbe Central and Eastern states. In their native states, these trees are found with a diameter of three feet and without t branch for 50 or 60 feet from the ground. WANT IT BACK Oregon Iron k Sfeel Company lias Dt'gnn an Action. To Recover Pesenslon of Metallic Curiosity, Which, It Is Al leged Was Malen. The Oregon Iron & Steel Company has brought a replevin suit in the Clackamas county circuit court to recover possession of the huge meteor that was recently discovered near this city, rhe company is represented by Williams, Wood 4 Linthicnm. of Portland, and complains that the meteor, which was found on its land, is wrongfully withheld by the de fendant. This is the metallic curiosity that recently excited so much wonder in this state. It has been pronounced a genuine meteorite by a representative of the Smithsonian Institute at Washing ton ind is reported to be the largest of its kind In the United States. After setting out that it is a corpora tion duly organized sod existing under the laws oi tbe state of Oregon, tbe plaintiff company alleges that it "was and still is the owner and entitled to the immediate possession of the following personal property, namely, an irregularly shaped mass or piece of iron ore, prob ably of meteoric origin, of the weight of fifteen tons or thereabouts and of tbe value of $1000, which said iron ore, was, prior to the institution of this suit, with out right or color of right, removed by the defendant from the lands of tbe plaintiff, situate in Clackamas county, Oregon, being a part of the J. D. Miller Donation Land Claim and known as tract No. 18, as shown by tbe records and laid personal propeity is now in tbe posseesion of tbe defendant and located in Clackamas county, Oregon, and said defendant wrongfully and in Clackamas county, Oregon, withholds possetsion of said personal property from the plaintiff. Demand has been made for the plaintiff npon the defendant for the return of said property hut be refuses to return the same. Wherefore, plaintiff demands judgment against the defendant for the recovery of the possession of said per sonal property and for its costs and die- ' bursements." Strife for the possession of the meteor has been gieat since its value as a cari osity was disclosed by an examination by the government representative. Should the plaintiff in the pending ac tion get possession of the meteor, it is surmised that it will be donated to tbe Portland Museum. INTEREST 15 0AT SHOW. Active Preparations are Under Way for Large Exhibit in January. The Angora goat breeders of Polk, county are already making preparations for the Annual Goat Show to be held in Dallas early in the coming year. The date of the show has not yet been fixed, but it is generally agreed that the ani mals should oot be placed on exhibition nntil they are in full fleece probably not until the middle of January. - The interest already shown in the coming ex hibit by prominent breeders in all parts of Oregon gives asenrance that the 1904 show will be bigger and better than any that has been held heretofore. Dallas is recognized as the goat center of tbe Pacific Northwest, and the show held here each year attracts hundreds of visitors. Goats are brought to Dallas for exhibition from all parts of Oregon, and breeders of these splendid little ani mals come from Washington, California and other neighboring states to replenish their herds and to discuss matters of im portance in this profitable branch of . stock raising. A proposed feature of tbe coming show that will commend itself to all growers is tbe auction sale of blooded stock to be held in connection with tbe exhibit. Prominent breeders say that they are willing to offer some of their finest ani mals for sale at public auction in the , hope that the standard of the flocks throughout the Northwest may be raised thereby. These men have tbe interest of the goat industry at heart, and are willing to part with some of their best animals without consideration of their actual value, knowing full well that with the betterment of tbe herds tbe goat in dustry will become more and more prof itable as tbe years go by. None bat the highest bred animals will be offered at this sale, and breeders will not be al lowed to run in a lot of inferior stock just in order to get rid of what tbey do , not wish to keep. Tbe date of tbe show will be an nounced in a few weeks, and every goat breeder in the Northwest will be invited to take part in tbe exhibit. Polk County Observer. Subscribe for the Enterprise.
