IN WOODS.
Friend of James Phegley. of Can

for hlH mysterious disappearance the
question la being asked, "What has
become of hlmT" Mr. Phegley la a
well-known citizen of Candy, wherp
he resided with hla daughter, Mr.
John Rydman, and his present where
abouts aro shrouded In mystery. It
Is feared that he has been foully dealt

the forehead, attached to a top buggy.
After finishing his errand Mr. Pheg

stayed over night nnd tho next morn
ing about 6 o'clock he departed,
stating that he was going to Canby.
Since that time he has not been beard
from, and hi family Is greatly wor
ried over tho matter,
The only theory tlmt seem plausi
ble I the one that Mr, Phegley was
held up a few iiiI1h from Cluuripucg,
before It wa quite light, murdered
and hi body placed In the bushes
along the rood tnd hi conveyance
driven away, Acting upon this the

DISTRICT ATTORNEY FIGHT
There seenm to be little new In th
District Attorneyship, to which our j
townsman, Chris Schuobol, aspires.
Mr. Hchnebel says nothing for publi
cation, and from Indication la
simply like llrer Itaddlt, "lying low."
Of course, there are stories afloat
In the city papers, sometimes under
the date line of Washington and at
others with tho birthmark of Port
land, Wo print the more Interesting
portion of these dlsputchea below:
Washington. Dec, 20 Senator Ful
ton and Congressmen Kills and Haw
ley held a meeting today and agree'l
to Join In the recommendation of a
ciindldute for District Attorney to
succeed W. C. Bristol. Ilefore send
ing a recommendation to the Presi
dent an effort will be rntde to have
Senator Doiirnn Join tin in, although
It Is believed this will not meet with
success, Senator Ilounio did not at
tend the meeting today because he
Is committed to the candidacy of
Sehueliel, n probably will stand by
him to the end, recommencing to the
President that 8chuebe be apsilnf
ed. None of the members at today's
meeting would give the name of the
candidate united upon. Senator Ful
ton left for Oregon Immediately after
the meeting.
Oregon City. lee. 30. Christian
ftchuebel has returned from Washing
ton, D. C after a fortnight's absence,
and Is extremely reticent regarding
hi possible chances for the appoint
ment of I'nlted States District At
torney, to which poslton he aspires to
luccicd William T. Bristol.
Mr, Schuebel declined to make any
taten.ent for publication and said he
knew nothing about the plans of the
Oregon Congressional delegation) In
Washington. He says he does Rot
know if Senator Bourne, who Is sup
porting dim, will make a recommenda
tion to President Roosevelt, independ
ently of the other members of the del
egation, and that ho has no Idea when
a recommendation will be made.
In short, Mr. Schuebel professes to
be entirely in Ignorance of the whole
situation. "The newspapers know
more about It than I do," be said.
Washington. Dec. 28. I'nless Sena
tor Bourne changes hi tactics there
wll be a split I m the Oregon delegation
over the appointment of a District At
torney, which will result In a test of
strength at the White House on one
side and Senator Fulton, Representa
tive Hawley and Kills on the other.
Individually each member of the dele
gation has expressed a hopu that the
delegation could agree on this ap
pointment, and the three members
not yet committed to any candidate
stand ready to compromise In order
to bring alsuit harmony. Mr. Bourne,
however. Is firm In his determination
to recommend Chris Schuebel, and ap
parently cannot see harmony unless
bis three colleagues surrender and Join
him In recommending his candidate.
Because bis mind was made up, he
would not confer with the. rest of the
delegation on Thureday.
When Mr. Fulton and Mr. Ells left
for Oregon they entrusted to Mr. Haw
ley the delicate task of persuading
Mr. Bourne to Join them in recom
mending some mau other than Mr.
Schuebel. They would be willing to
agree upon any one of several candi
dates If Mr. Bourne would co-operate,
but their preference was for George
G. Bingham, of Salem. Notwithstand
&iC th.s preierence, no promise was
made to Mr. Bingham and no member
of the delegation is committed to sup
port him. Up to the present time Mr.
Bourne has declined to yield to Mr.
Hawley's overtures, and there Is not
the slightest Indication that he will
yield.
I'nless Mr. Bouriiw abandons Mr.
Schuebel It Is quite likely that Mr.
Fulton. Mr. Hawley and Mr. Ellis will
unite In recommending Mr. Biu.lnni,
and if Mr. Bourne Fives Mr. Ilnwl.'y a
final answer that Is satisfactory, it
is quite probable that the recommend
ation of Bingham will be made before
Congress convenes January 6, In
which event Mr. Bourne will simul
taneously file his recommendation of
Schuebel.
Mr. Bourne's colleagues are unable
to understand his Insistence upon Mr.
Schuebel in view of the fact that he
was a party to an' agreement made
two weeks ago tonight, under which
the delegation Is pledged to unite In
recommending general Federal office-

TIONS IN 1870 AND NOW.
GOLD WE HOLD.
The wealth per capita of citizens
of the United State3, based mum esti
mates, has increased .from 77!i.S3 In
1870 to f 1.310.11 in 3907, which mnke
the United States,, with its enormous
population, the richest country in the
wcrld.
Tho money In circulation has In
creased four-fold. The total in 1870
was $075,212, 791, while on January
30, 1907, It was $2,914,342,250. The
circulation per capita has almost
doubled, notwithstanding the present
money famine, and haj Increased
from $17.50 to $33.86 during th last
42 years.
In 1870 we had only $25,000,000 In

holders In Oregon who are preferred
by a majority of the delegation. Here
Is a case where throe members are
United and where uruler the agree
ment Mr, Bourne, in a hopeless min
ority, expected to waive his person
al preferences and abide by their de
rision. Yet he maintains that his ob
ligations to Mr. Sohuebcl are such
that ho must disregard bis. agreement
with the delegation and carry his
fight to the President. In the appoint
ments decided on two wel-ks ago,
other members of the delegation
waived their personal preferences
when they were In a minority and Mr.
Bourne In a majority, but, when the
tidies are reversed, Mr. Bourne kicks
over the traces.
Speaking of the appointment of a
I? Ml ted States District Attorney to
succeed W. C. Bristol, Mr. Fulton de
flared that the delegation has not de
cided or; anyone,
"We have an agreement," said Ful
ton, "that In all matters of appoint
ment and Oregon affairs that the dele
gallon shall act together and that a
majority shall rule, I have . heard
that Senator Bourne favors Mr. Schue
bel, of Oregon City, but he has not
so informed me. Personally, I have
no candidate for the place. What I
w ish. Is to se a man selected who is
satisfactory to the people and who
has standing at the bar; a man capa
ble aitd honest. Anyone with these
qualifications will suit me and I could
recommend 20 men In Portland for
the position or 20 men outside of Port
land. I do not believe a candidate
will be re.-ommended before my re
turn to Washington, although this
may be done through telegraphic
communication.
"Why Bristol is unsatisfactory to
the Department of Justice I do not
know, other than It is aald he sent a
diBpatch which displeased the depart
ment. At to Mr. Heney, I have noth
ing to say."
Pendleton, Dec. 30. Congressman
W. R. Ellis, who arrived today from
Washington, confirms the published
reports of the tentative agreement
between Fultoin Hawley and himself,
that Attorney George Bingham, of
Salem, is the choice of these three for
Bristol's successor.
When Fulton and Ellis left Wash
ington Thursday evening it waa left
witn Hawley to make terms with
Bourne with regard to Bingham's rec
ommendation. If Bourne would not
agree, then the matter was to be left
in abeyance until the return of these
two.
According to Ellis, Bourn lg per
tent in holding out for Schuebel, of
Oregon City. Ellis says the objection
of the other three to Schuebel Is that
he is a young man, of comparatively
little experience, and that it is their
desire to recommend a man of ma
ture years and wide experience.
He also says that the instructions
from the White House are to the ef
fect that no man shall receive the ap
pointment who has at any time been
connected In any way with the land
fraud defense. This eliminated some
of' the candidates.
Friends of the several aspirants for
', the District Attorneyship are doing
I their best in behalf of their favorites
In Pendleton Mayor Fee's friends be
lieve him the logical and fittest man
for the place and cite that nearly two
years ago he was supported by Ful
ton for appointment instead of Bris
' tol. Fee is now supported by Repre
, sentatlve Ellis and Senator Fulton. In
, Salem, friends of Bingham are doing
the same and saying that he la sup
ported by Representative Hawley. In
Portland, members of the Fulton ele
ment are boosting for Webster and
Mulr. In Hillsboro, Barrett's admir
ers are try ing to secure for their man
the approval of Senator Fulton. i
; Dan J. Malarkey was a candidate
' for Fulton's support, but Fulton evi
dently has other preferences. Web
ster was believed yesterday by his
' Intimate political friends to be In line
for Fulton's favor. But It was cited
against Webster that he Is attorney
for John H. Hall, R. A. Booth and J.
H. Booth land-fraud defendants
which would militate against his
chances.
The matter is making discussion in
legal and polltcal circles in Pendle
ton as to whether the ambition of
Mayor Fee is now to be realized. Fee
will say nothing, but others are con
fident he Is the lucky man.
NO SCALP TAKEN
BY FULTON YET
OREGON SENATOR MADE LOUD
PROTESTS, BUT TAKES MED
ICINE WHEN GIVEN.
Some months ago, the story goes,
when men were tarred with the land
fraud stick, Senator Fulton rose on
his longest legs and said that if any
man dare connect his name with the
land frauds he would prosecute hlra
to "Halifax," or some other seaport.
Later, Lincoln Steffen, In a maga
zine article, not only "connected'" but
made broad charges, which have not
been followed with prosecution, so far
as we have been informed. But the
latest Is from Heney, who knows
considerable of the inside workings
of tha land frauds and methods, and
lie is credited with talking out plain
In New York. Here Is the telegraphic
story from the metropolis:
"According to published interviews
in New York newspapers, Francis J.
Heney was less reticent In that city
about his recent mission In Washing
ton than while here. He denied that
he had reported having another big
fish In the dragnet which he had cast
for Oregon land grafters, but defended
his support- of Bristol's appointment
as follows:
"'President Rosevelt made .that ap
pointment about two years ago and
has renewed the appointment at the
beginning of each session. The ap
pointment was referred, of course, to
the Judiciary committee of the Senate
and especially considered by the sub
committee, consisting of Senators For-
aker, Kittredge and Culberson. Attor
ney Bristol's confirmation was op
posed before this sub-committee by
Senator Fulton, who, I understand,
drought a charge against Bristol,
which I found to be baseless and have
explained to the sub-committee. How
ever, that sub-committee has never fa
vorably reported Bristol's name.
" 'I say now tbift all of the Import
ant persons who have been Implicated
In the organized land frauds are the
friends of Senator Fulton; therefore,
It appears whimsical to me that Sen
ator Fulton should, through tho pow
er of Senatorial courtesy be able to
defeat the nomination of Mr. Bristol,
who is capadle of making It unpleas
ant for the yet unindlcted land thieves
of Oregon. "

STATE
TAXATION
COUNTIES MUST RAISE OVER
MILLION DOLLARS FOR
STATE PURPOSES.
MORE FUNDS NEEDED
For Year 1908 Clackamaa County'a
8hare How the Forest Re
serve Fund Will Be
Divided.
The amount of money to be raised
by the several counties for 8tate pur
poses in 1908 Is $1,150,000. This is
shown by the annual estimate of ex
penditures completed by the State
Board of Levy Wednesday. This Is
$125,000 more than the amount raised
by the counties In 1907, and $525,000
more than was raised In 1906. The
total expense of the State for 1908
Is estimated at $1,851,750.14, of which
amount $489,350.14 will be raised by
Indirect taxes or is covered by levies
already made, but not expended. This
leaves the balance of $1,150,000 to be ,
raised by the several counties by di
rect taxation this year.
County Courts have been anxiously
awaiting the announcement of the ap
portionment of taxes so that they may
be able to determine the amounts of
their own levies. As will be seen by
the following comparative table,
Clackamas county must this year
raise $38,525 for State taxes, as com
pared with $34,337.50 in 1907. and
$20,937.50 In 1906. The 1906 levy waa
exceptionally low for an even-numbered
year, for the reason that one
of the large appropriation bills had
been held up under the referendum,
and the money was to be expended.
Those appropriations became effective
In 1907, making Jhe levy for that year
unusually high for an odd-numbered
year.
The levy for 1908 Is high, because
this year the unexpected appropria
tions of the Legislature of 1907 must
be met As the levy in 1907 wag
made before the Legislature convened,
the levy for that year did not cover
the special appropriations of that ses
sion. Secretary of State F. W. Benson
Wednesday made the distribution of
the 10 per cent Forest Reserve Fund,
which is divided among the several
counties in which forest reserves are
located, each sharing in the funds ac
cording to the number of acres of re
serve in each. This fund must be
used by the counties for school and
road purposes, half of the money be-v
ing devoted to each purpose. Two
apportionments are made at this time,
for the reason that information waa.
not available before this upon which
to make the 1906 apportionment. The
apportionment for 1906 is as follower
Total area of National
Forests in Oregon 8,698,250
Totai amount received
from Forest Reserve
rentals in 1906 $ 7.585.96
Apportionment of am't
per Forest Reserve
acre , 000872212485 -
Clackamas county has an acreage
of 465.220, and received for iU share
in 1906, $405.73.
The apportionment for 1907 follows:
Total area of National
Forests in Oregon.,.. 16,463,535
