THE MOKjNIJStG OKEGOMAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1901. ANOTHER CONTEST FILED MORE FRAUD ALLnGED IX TILLA 310 OK X.AXD CASES. BuaUley Makcx Affidavit Charging ColluBlon "With Olande Tbajer, and Also With. Hays. " Another character has appeared in the Tillamook land cases. J. A. Buckley, of Portland, has filed in the Oregon City Land Office a contest against nine of the 75 entrymen included in the contests of Charles E. Hays, which were filed some weeks ago, and are now ready to be set for hearing. Hays contested on the ground that the entrymen were in collu sion with Claude Thayer, Morris Leach and Clark H&dley, of Tillamook, to de fraud the Government and share the pro fits from the timber land to be obtained by the proceeding. In the new contest Mr. Bckley alleges fraudulent collusion with Clause Thayer et aL, and also col lusion with Charles JS. Hays, who is averred to h&ve filed "several pretended contests." The entrymen against whom this latest contest is filed are: Eureka H. Quick, George H. Handley, Ashley G. "West, Charles Henry HImes, Blanche Newman, Maud Sturgeon. James TV. Hunt, Oak No lan and Mors H. Larsen. The allegations set forth are as follows: That said jntry when made "was fraudulent, collusive, speculative, and it as not made in good faith for the exclusive use and benefit of entrymaH. That this ontryman, so this affiant is In formed and believes, -never went upon said land prior to Ms said entry, nor did he per sonalty examine the same as by law required. That said ontryinan, on and before said entry, conspired with one Claude Thayer, Morris Leach and Clark Hadlcy and others, to fraudulently obtain title to said land and to divide the proceeds of the sale of the same, and that said entry was made in pursuance of said conspiracy. That said entryman is making his said entry knowingly and fraudulently subscribed to the affidavits required in making said timber entry, and that the same was a fraud upon the Government of the United States. Affiant further alleges that one Charles E. Hays has tiled against said entry several pretended contests. That said contests, so filed by said Charles E. Hays, are collusive and speculative, and it is alleged by this con testant, upon Information and belief, that said contofits are made In the interest of said entryman and his co-conspirators. That said entry is illegal, fraudulent and void, and, together with the pretended con tests of Charles E. Hays, operates to deprive this oontestant of his right to make entry of said tract, and this the said contestant is ready to prove at such time and place as may be named by tho Register and Receiver for a hearing in said case; and he, therefore, asks to be allowed to prove said allegations, to the end that said timber entry No. may be declared cancelled and forfeited to the United States, be, the said contestant, paying the expense of such bearing. The offer to pay expense of hearing is usual in such cases. This places Buckley in the attitude of a Junior contestant. It is virtually a chal lenge to fight the winner of the prior con test of Hays. If Hays shall beat the al leged Claude Thayer collusion, Buckley will then be in position to have a bout with him. If Hays shall be worsted in the pending case, Buckley will .be in po eitlon to contest on the allegation of fraud with Thayer. But Buckley must wait un til the determination of the Hays contest before getting a hearing on his own affi davits. Buckley's affidavit is supported by C. W- Mead. , REPUDIATED HIS CHECK. J. H. Anderson Sues 3. P. Walters for $400 Alleged to Have Been Loaned. J. H. Anderson yesterday filed a suit In the Statte Circuit Court to recover 5400 from J. P. Walters. In the complaint it is alleged that In July last Walters, in consideration of $400 advanced to him by plaintiff, drew his check in Anderson's favor for that amount on the First Na tional Bank of this city. It seems that the check -was drawn, in California. Sub sequently, so it is alleged. Walters stopped payment on the check at? the bank. As a result, so Anderson alleges, lie Is out the full amount. The attorneys for Anderson are John Manning and A. C Spencer. Mr. Man ning is out of the city, and Mr. Spencer, when seen last night, said he knew little about itae case other than what was set out in the complaint. He understood, he said, that the transaction was a simple loan on Anderson's part to Walters, and that the latter had repudiated his check. September .Tnry Drawn.

The Idea of a State Board of Trade, with headquarters in Portland, to advertise Oregon's resources and otherwise promote the general welfare has been cordially re ceived In various towns and there appears to be no doubt that something tangible will come of it Secretary Miller, of the Portland Board of Trade, which Is behind the movement, has received a number ot letters pledging support. This evidence of good feeling is noteworthy considering that Secretary Miller has not yet mailed his letters to Mayors of cities inviting co-operation, and that the only knowledge of the plan has been gained from what has been published In The Oregonian. The following letter from Fred C. Dunham, of Baker City, is a sample of the kind of encouragement that Is coming in: I understand that the ' Portland Board of Trade Is desirous of extending Its organiza tion throughout the state, with central or ganization in Portland, and this prompts me to write you in regard to the plans brlnij pursued along that line. Baker City is a lively and prosperous town and needs an organization such as the one under discussion, and if you have not already made your plans for this city. I should be pleased and willing to do anything in my power towards perfect ing an organization here. According to present plans, the State Board of Trade will be organized when the mass meeting to dlEcuss 1905 fair, deep channels to the 9ea, fuel supply and other topics is held at the Marquam Grand about September 10. As the sub jects to be considered .concern all Oregon, It Is believed that delegates will come from all parts of the state to attend the meeting and help to give the new organi zation its start. When the board is or ganized, steps will be taken to open head quarters and establish a permanent ex hibit of the products of the Columbia River Valley. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION. September 2-4 for Thone Whose Cer tificates Have Expired. A city examination of teachers whose certificates will expire before the opening of the schools, or who have not yet re newed their certificates, will be held In room 2, High School building, Monday, September 2t to Wednesday, September 4, by Cly Superintendent RIgler, County Su perintendent Robinson and Mrs. L. W. Sltton, of the city board of examiners. The sessions begin at 9 A. M. and 1 P. M. The City Superintendent is no longer au thorized to issue temporary certificates, so that "all teachers whose certificates ex pire during a given school year are re quired to take the examination prior to the opening of the school year.' It is the business of every teacher to Jceep her certificate in force and to ascer tain for herself what steps are necessary that this may be accomplished. The board is prohibited, under penalty of forfeiture of the school fund, from employing teach ers without legal certificates. If, there fore, either at the beginning of the school year or at any time thereafter a teacher is found to have neglected this very im portant legal requirement, she must not complain when her position Is declared vacant. The programme for the examination fol laws: Monday, September 2 Morning: Writ ten arithmetic, reading. Evening: Gram mar writing. Tuesday, September 3 Morning: Geog raphy, theory of teaching. Evening: Physiology, orthography. Wednesday, September 4 Morning: United States history, mental arithmetic. OVER THE $3500 MARK. Committee on Free Baths "Will Meet Tomorrow to Incorporate. Several members of the committee on arrangements appointed by the subscrib ers to the free swimming bath fund met last night in George E. Chamberlain's office and discussed the matter of incor poration. It is believed that business can be better transacted in this manner. Owing to the fact that many of the committeemen are out of the city, an adjournment was taken until Friday night, when the matter of Incorporation will probably be definitely decided upon. It was announced at the meeting that several young men who are interested in the bath project will give a picnic for its benefit at Magoon Park in the near future. The names of the young men were not given out, as tlje matter has not fully matured. Carpenters will begin work Saturday erecting the booths for the lawn fete to be given on the plazas next Monday after noon and evening for the bath fund. The women in charge of the fete have al ready received many donations for it. Twenty-five per cent of the Portland club's share of today's baseball game will be given to the free baths fund. Following are yesterday's subscriptions to the fund: J. C. Flanders . $ Employes Ellers Piano House A. J. Prager & Sons Cash, W. A C Babv Celle Stein 20 00 15 00 5 00 300 100 Rev.

The corner of Twenty-fourth and Savier streets was the scene of a brutal assault on three street-car men by four rolling mill hands at an early hour Monday morn ing. T. Foster, a motorman on the "S" line, accompanied by S. M. Nutler and J. Endlcott, conductors, were proceeding homeward from the car barn after their day's work, when they were set upon by Charles Baker, O. Dean, Jacob Lyon and Charles Carlson. The attacking force used stones and bricks in the assault, and the street-car men were badly beaten up, though they were ready for duty yes terday. It is said the assailants were under the influence of liquor, and "had It in" for the street-car men for some time. War rants were issued for their arrest yester day, and the quartet will very likely have a chance to explain themselves in the Mu nicipal Court today. Reprnlntor Line Steamers.

The contractors for building about a mile of new roadway on the Vancouver road long bridge across Columbia Slough to the Columbia River are on the ground preparing to commence work. They are setting up a plledriver, and will have it ready for operation tlhls week. The ham mer was taken around to the south end of the long bridge by water. No piles have yet been delivered, but are expected at any time. This is an important road, as all wagon traffic between Clark County, Washing- .CffCt XJVE I CftQS5-.&AD. avoy U900TQ vSmcp Nevr elevated roadway on Vancouver line. ton, and Portland passes over it, and this 1b not small. It is the intention to straighten the roadway so that there will be a straight bridge across the slough. When this bridge was partly destroyed the north half was built entirely new from the Columbia River to the sharp bend, a distance of nearly one mile, but from that place on to the Columbia Slough road the old portion was patched up untfll the county felt able to rebuild it entire. This will now be done. During the progress of this work there will be no Interruption of travel. The new portion will be begun at the sharp bend, and will be built on a straight course about 300 feet west of the old roadway, and will cufl through the higher trestle across tne slough at the south end. The landing will be partly on some pri vate property. The new portion will be aDove the highest-water mark, corre sponding in this respect with the north section. Cost of Sewer. A city official who has made estimates of many of the big sewers and street Im provements, and usually comes very close to the actual cost, makes the state ment that the southern district sewer sys tem, which includes Brooklyn, the car shops, Waverly, Richmond, Kenilworth and a large amount of ot'her territory, will not cost! near the figures mentioned at the mass meeting held Monday evening. The estimates at that meeting run up the whole cost as high as $300,000, and it was said by some of the speakers that the assessment per lot would be equiva lent? to making a deed to the lot. This official estimates the probable cost of the system at $160,000, and he does not think he will miss it very far. Regarding the cost per lot, he ridiculed the state ment of Waldemar Seton that If it would cost him $150 fon his two lots on Mllwaukie Btreet, he would not oppose It. He says that there were some lots in the Sunny- side sewer district assessed at $77, but rhese were reduced 7 per cent. The as sessment per lot for the Beech-street sewer system Is from $20 to $45 per lot. He says that, from the large district In the southeast included in the system, he does not! think that the cost will exceed In any case over $50 per lot, and It may be much less. There is as much misunderstanding about the cost of theproposed sewer In the southeast district as there was In the Beech-street district. It was not until a committee had been appointed to collect information about the cost of other sew ers that there was light Thrown on the subject. As soon as it was known In that district that the entire cost would range from $20 to $45 the opposition was with drawn. The committee appointed by the Brooklyn Sub-Board has access to the same data. There Is a vast amount of work to be done before work can be started on the sewer, and it Is estimated that it will be about two years before the contract can be let, and work begun. The route of the main conduits and every prospective lateral will have to be marked out. Rights of way wlH have to be secured through land, and tftie mass of detail work i will be enormous. The City Engineer does not think that all these matters could be settled, and work started before the Au tumn of 1902. Burned Brush, in Sullivan's Gulch. District Engineer Holden burned up the dry brush and rubbish on the south bank of Sullivan's Gulch, between East Seventh and East Eighfh streets, Tuesday night. Some one started a small fire in the ac cumulation, and, going down to see about It, he concluded as there was no wind it would be a good time to burn the mass and get rid of It. He started fires in sev eral Dlaces, and In the course of three hours it was reduced to ashes. There were some nervous residents In the neigh borhood, but there was no danger. Stock on Cycle Path. Complaint Is made that horses and cat tle are being driven on the Woodstock cycle path, and greatly damaging It. Own ers of stock make a pracMce of leading and driving horses along the path. At this rate It will soon be In bad condition. There is a fine for 'damaging cycle paths. If the poundmaster should happen along the Woodstock path at an early hour In the morning he might find catfle loose. Improving Vancouver Road. The county is grading and graveling Vancouver avenue north from the corner of the Piedmont tract. At this place a deep cut has been made, and the old gravel pit filled up. There Is much gravel in the J i' bank, and it Is being used to improve the center of the avenue. It is understood that Vancouver avenue will be repaired south to Alberta street. Bust Side Notes. Constable A M. Cox, of the East Side Justice ' Court, has '.returned from a short vacation. Rev. Jerome R. McGlade, of the Mizpah Presbyterian Church, and wife have re turned from their vacation. The Eleventh Ward Sub-Board of Trade will meet this evening in the hall corner Union and Ainsworth avenues. Rev. E. S. Memminger will return this week in time to occupy his pulpit at the Mount Tabor Methodist Church next Sun day. He has been taking a vacation at Grass Mountain, hunting and fishing. The painters have finished their work on the Inside of the chemical engine-house, on Union and Holladay avenues. Most of the work was done by the firemen them selves, the city furnishing the material. F. Frank Pearson, of Portland, is spend ing his vacation at the Salmon River postoffice. He caught an 18-Inch salmon trout last week, and his friends say that the event has enthused him to such a de gree that his salary will have to be in creased on his return. Isaac Kay has contracted for tho erec tion of a $2500 dwelling near the Metho dist Church of Mount Tabor. Work has been'started on the new $5000 residence of W. A Laldlaw, Mount Tabor, to replace the one recently destroyed by fire. It will contain seven rooms, and be built partly of stone. Wise Bros Failing. dentists, both 'phones. The FOR A PRACTICE CRUISE. Philadelphia to Take Oregon Naval Reserves Out to ' Sea. Adjutant-General C. U. Gantenbein yesterday received a dispatch from Cap tain W. W. Mead, of the U. S. S. Phil adelphia, dated at Valiejo, Cal., in which it is stated that the Philadelphia will ar rive at Astoria September 5, for the pur pose of taking the Oregon Naval Re serves out on a practice cruise. The receipt of the i dispatch has stirred matters up among the members of the militia, and from now until the cruiser arrives active preparations will be made for the trip. While at sea every possi ble naval maneuver will be made, and the members of the militia will be In structed In every detail of naval warfare. It is not known how long the cruise will last. General Gentenbeln stated yesterday that about 70 members of the mllltla would go outj on the cruise. LABOR DAY PROGRAMME. Literary Exercises in Afternoon and Dance in the Evening.

FOR PLACES IN LIBRARY. Competitive Examination to Be Held Next Month. A competitive examination for positions in the free library when it shall be made free will be held In "the iecture room. of the Portland Library, on Stark street, September 10. The examiners will be Librarian Leach and the Book Com mittee, which is composed of. Milton W. Smith, Dr. T. L. Eliot, and Miss Mary Failing. The examination will be on lines with which cataloguers and other assist ants in libraries should be familiar. It Is not known -when the successful ones will be placed or how many of them will be required. The object of the examina tion is to create a list of eligibles from which tfhe governing board of the free library -may draw Its employes. Applica tions may be obtained from Librarian Leach. TEAMS CAN NOT CROSS. Delay in Securing: Lumber Makes Morrlson-Sjtreet Bridge Imnnssable. Delay In obtaining plank from the saw mills Is keeping the repair of the Morrison-Street bridge back, and teams are still compelled to cross by other -bridges. A gateman is stationed at either end to stop teamsters from crossing, and they meet with considerable opposition, as drivers hate to be stopped. The road way cannot be barricaded, as street cars have to cross, so teams must be kept off by being yelled at. This makes some drivers "hot," and they are likely to do some grumbling, as they back their horses and turn away. If planking could be obtained,- teams might have been crossing on Monday. The structure has been closed to vehicles for nine days, but may be opened within a few days. Mr. Slnuson'K .New Work. New York Evening Post. The wealth of periodicals Is surprising. Mr.t Griffin has, judiciously, we think, adopted a system of alphabetizing con formable to the first significant word in a title, so the .Evening Post, for example, Is entered under E. A different system has been employed also, we think, judic iously, by Mr. Allan B. Slauson In his 'Check List of American Newspapers In the Library of Congress. Here the ar rangement Is geographical and the sub-arrangement regards the essential and fa miliar name, putting Evening Post under P. The succeeding general index disarms all criticism by placing the same paper under both E and P. We have finally 4A Calendar of Washington MSS. in the Li brary of Congress,' compiled 'chrono logically under the direction of Herbert Frledenwald, with an Index forming near ly half the volume, yet purposely exclu sive of names occurring in manuscripts that have been printed and are easily ac cessible, though briefly calendered here.

SERVICE Unlike Kipling's Soldier, Corporal Van Buren Dock Not Drink, but He Was Insubordinate. One of the oldest privates who served in the Spanish-American War is now in Portland, resting and regaining the health he has about lost In the Cuban and Phil ippine campaigns. He is Corporal Van Buren, 5S years of age, and with 30 years' service in the American Army to his credit. He last served in the Nineteenth Infantry, a portion of which regiment helped quell the Insurrection on the Island of Cebu. Corporal Van Buren has also served In the Spanish Army, having fought the Cuban insurrectos for four years, in order to maintain the flag of the effete old monarchy in the West Indies. He served also under Don Pedro In Brazil, and un der Maximilian in Mexico, so he' has the advantage of being able to compare American Army discipline with that of other nations. The old veteran is a striking figure on Portland streets, as he is as straight as an arrow, and the blue uniform he wears so closely resembles that worn by Union soldiers In the Civil War, that middle aged men think It must have been the same suit' he wore at Appomattox. He was not mixed up In that little unpleas antness, however, as he did not join the United' States Army until 1870. With all his soldier record he was never wounded until he met the Filipinos, when tfwo Mauser bullets left their mark upon him, one on the breast, and the other on the leg. He has entirely recovered from these woundfi, and after a few weeks more of "test and recuoeration In Oregon, he ex pects to enlist the seventh time in the service of Uncle Sam, though he does not expect active service, being now entitled to retirement. He likes the American service best of all, he says, as the American soldier is better paid, and his liberties are not so badly abridged. "Spain tVeats her sol diers very well while they are in garri son," he said, "but the pay is very poor, being only 6 cents a day. In active serv ice this is increased to 36 cents. Spain, however, feeds her soldiers according to the climate they are In, a method the American War Department has ye3 to adopt. The reason Corporal Van Buren has not risen from the ranks in all his 41 years of soldiering, he ascribes to his insubordi nation. "I have never been a drinking man," he explained, "but when some young officer started in to abuse me I would likely to sass back. This is what has kept me from promotion. The high est station I ever reached was ordinance officer In the Brazilian service" Tho Corooral was born In the miniature Republic of Andorra, which lies in the Pyrenees Mountains, between France and Spain. His countrymen are called Basques, and are known as a hardy, un conquered race of sheepherders. He A THE ;; Food Cure Put in the Body What NATURE NEEDS. Find that In ' How to Build a Body. . One of tlie most Important discoveries of lat'e Is the application of the right kind of food to rebuild the lost substances of the body, thrown off by the active, nerv ous work of Americans. Careful Investigation by experts in food and diatetics, has brought out the fact that albumen, which Is contained In vari ous foods, Is acted upon by phosphate of 'potash, not &uch as obtained In drug stores, but such as is found In certain parts of the Held grains in most minute particles, arranged in Nature's laboratory, not man's. The part of fhe grains containing phos phate of potash is used In the manufac ture of Grape-Nuts Food, .therefore the active, nervous pushing brain worker can feed the body with food that goes direct ly to the rebuilding of the broken-down gray matter In the brain, solar plexus and nerve centers all over the body, with the result that the individual who re freshes and rebuilds the body with proper material of this sort, obtains a definite result, which he can feel and know of, and which is apparent to his friends. A vigorous brain and nervous system Is of the greatest Importance to any busi ness man or brain worker. J of Directors- D. P. THOMPSON, PRESIDENT - - DAVID M.
