MITCHELL TRiftL
SET FOR SEPT. 5
With Others, Senator Will
Face Jury on -Puter
Indictment.
COME BEFORE JUDGE HUNT
Principal Allegation Against the De
fendant Is That He Accepted
$2000 From Puter for
Illegal Services.
Senator John H. Mitchell -will be once
more brought before the Federal Court
on September 5, when, with his asso
ciates, he will be tried on what is known
as the Puter Indictment. In which It Is
alleged that Mr. Mitchell accepted $2000
from S. A. D. Puter as compensation for
his services In assisting Puter to secure
expedition of various claims through the
Xand Office. At the same time Salmon
B. Ormsby. William H. Davis, Clark E.
Loomis, Honry A. Young and George
Sorenson will be tried for a similar of
fense charged in a separate indictment.
Yesterda'y morning upon the request of
"United States District Attorney Honey,
Judge De Haven set the two indictments
down for trial on Soptomber 5, though he
left the matter of their consolidation to
the decision of Judge Hunt, who will sit
during the trial of the cases.
Tne first, or the Puter indictment. In
cludes a long list of defendants, headed
by Senator Mitchell, and completed by
the names of BInger Hormann, S. A. D.
Puter, Horace G. McKInley, Emma L.
Watson, Dan W. Tarpley, Elbert, K.
Brown, Mrs. Nellie Brown, Henry A.
Young, Frank H. Walgamot, Clark E.
Loomis and Salmon B. Ormsby.
This Indictment charges that on Feb
ruary 1, 1902, the defendants' entered into
a conspiracy to defraud the Government
out of land in the well-known 11-7 coun
try, the scene of all the trouble in the
Puter trial of November, situated near
the base of Mount Jefferson.
Puter, McKInley. Watson, Tarpley and
some of the others are the ones directly
interested in the commencement oi me
conspiracy, as they formed the purpose
to secure possession of the land. After
wards, Puter and Mrs. Watson went to
Washington, where they interested Sen
ator Mitchell and BInger Hermann in
their claims, it is alleged, with the result
that the suspended lands were considered
by the Land Office, and, after some trou
ble, passed to patent. It was during the
Washington -visit of Puter that the trans
fer of the $2000 from him to Mitchell is
alleged to have taken place.
The second indictment includes Salmon
B. Ormsby, William H. Davis, the Mayor
of Albany; Clark E. L.oomis, a lormer
special agent of the Government Land
Offlpfi- Hp.nrv A. Younsr and Georse Sor
enson. In this Indictment the same alle
gation is made as in the first, the time
of the conspiracy being placed by the in
fHrtmfint at December 29. 1901.
These two indictments .include the same
offense, and in order to save as much
t!m ns mv be. the Prosecutine Attor
ney asked that they be consolidated, but
the question was left for the decision of
Judge Hunt.
The penalty for conviction Sunder- both
indictments is a fine of not more than
$10,000 and imprisonment for not more
than three years.
SHE DISPUTES THE CENSUS
3Irs. E. J. Clinton Cites Her Rea
sons for So Doing.
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 3. (To the
Editor.) After reading your article of
this morninc: entitled "Dispute on con
sus," in which I am quoted at large;
also your editorial in the same issue,
I wish to. make a statement. In the
first, place, I have made no contention
and have taken no initiative In this
matter. I have patiently, courteously and
truthfully (if, perhaps, not wisely) an
swered the questions put to me by rep
resentatives -from all three of the daily
papers published In this city. I have
Klven a great deal of time to these peo
ple and have had only In mind the desire
to see justice done to tne city oi .rori
land and to vindicate the statements
made in the City Directory regarding
the population. That there are within
the corporate limits of this city at
least 135,000 people, I have not tho
slightest shade of doubt I have frank
ly and freely stated my convictions to
the reporters who have called upon
me. though in every case I told them
that I much preferred not to be quoted
In the matter, as any statement to be
of value to the general public must be
susceptible of positive proof; that I did
not care to go to the expense nor to
take the time to verify these ftgures.
I did say that "probably no one in the
olty knew so well as J do the difficulties
that the County Assessor labored under
in pothering this Information; the al
most utter Impossibility of securing
men. who could be relied upon to im
plicitly follow instructions, the lack of
any law which could be used as an in
ducement to persuade people to give
this information when they were un
willing to do so, and the inability to
And, during working hours, the large
proportion of people who were absent
from their rooms and homes.
We have a system of checking in this
office by which people are traced from
year to year, and after the canvass has
been made by experienced and as re
liable men as can be found, we follow
up these people and find that a large
proportion of those missed upon the
first canvass can be traced and found in
the city. For weeks before publica
tion we send out these dispatchers
hunting the people who have been
missed on the first canvass, and.prob
ably from 10 to 15 per cent of all the
names in the City Directory come In
after the city has been covered the first
time; therefore I realized that through
no incompetency or inefficiency of the
County Assesor, an adequate count of
the city's population by one canvass
would be an impossibility.
Rogardlng precinct No. 22, I did not
say, "My men brought In more than
1000 names of heads of families In only
part of the district." In fact", I did not
Bay anything to an Oregonlan reporter
yesterday about this matter, nor any
other, and all that I am given credit
for saying must have been taken from
some other paper or second-hand from
a reporter of one of the other papers.
I did say "It is impossible to com
pare our figures with those of the As
sessor for the reason that our territory
Is not divided by the same boundary
lines as his." We have, three pieces of
territory, all of which lap over onto
this district; that is to say, district 22
would be divided so that a part of it
would be In three different pieces of
our territory. In these three pieces
over 1000 names of adults were taken.
The words as quoted by The Oregonlan
are on the face of it an absurdljty, and If
made by me would render worthless
any statement I might make.
The Evening Telegram last nignt
quoted me as saying: "In a few days
the money would bo raised to recanvass
this district." What I did say was:
That I should very much like to re-
canvass this district; that I felt sure
the names fell very far short of tho
actual number upon it, but that I did
not feel called upon to go to the ex
pense of doing so.
With regard to directory estimates
being of no value, I would like to call
your attention to one or two facts. In
1900, when the Federal census gave us
90.426, the City Directory gave a popu
lation of 103,025. This difference was
accounted for by allowing 13,000 fcr
tlje suburbs covered. In the estimate
just made by me and which I distlnc ly
stated could not at this time be dernoa-
strated, because we are not far enough
along in our rvork to give these figures,
I have aliowed 15.000 for the suburbs
and 135,000 for tho city proper. In the
issue of our directory for 1900, under
the letter B there were 3755 Insertions.
In the directory Just gone to press
there are C696. In, the letter J thero
were 1117 In 1900. In this year's direc
tory there are 1988. Under the letter
M In 1900 there were 2S79. In this
yoar there are 4876. These are actual
Insertions of bona fide Individuals and
Institutions of tho city. If these do not
show an enormous increase in the city's
population, what do they show? If,
while the Information in the alphabet
ical part of the 1904 directory could be
condensed Into 788 pages, the Informa
tion for 1904 required 99o pages with a
considerably wider margin, what Is in
dicated?
If a multiple of 2 has been found to
approximately give the population
when applied to the names of individ
uals in a directory in all the cities of
tho United States, why should it not
apply to Portland, especially whero
these figures are borne out by these
other tests of increase in the directory?
This Is, to be sure, an arbitrary ratio,
but it is the result of long years of ex
perience, and Is used by all the cities
of the United States as most nearly
roaching the desired result. So far as
the school census Is concerned, in a
city where the birth rate Is notably
low the 'ratio of Ave to one Is none too
large to use, and Is very frequently
used in other cltios.
Aside from this, the great Increase
of matter handled In the directory of
fice leaves no possible doubt in the
mind of those who have access" to It
that there has been an Increase of 50
per cent in the population In tho last
five years.
It Is not for me to go into the ques
tion of the large number of residences
which have been erected In that time
and which are filled, almost without ex
ception, not alone In 1905. but through
out 1904; nor to call attention to the
fact that the increase In the PostoRlce
returns and the bank clearances and In
every other avenue of the city's indus
tries, all bear out the statement of this
proportion in the city's increase in
population. I speak but from the one
source of information. .If the census
of 1900 was correct (and no one claims
that it was at all larger than it should
have been), and if the increase in the
names published in the directory is anr
indication of the increase of population.
Portland has 135.000 people and Its Im
mediate suburbs an additional 15.000.

SOUGHT A LITRE REST
GEORGE USHERWOOD ENDS HIS
ILLNESS "WITH GAS.
Respected Civil War Veteran and
Long Time Janitor at Court
house Commits Suicide.
George Usherwood, a janitor at the
Courthouse, was found dead In an attic
room In the building at 7:30 o'clock yes
terday morning, having committed suicide
by Inhaling gas. The end of a small rub
ber hose was in his mouth, the other end
of which was attached to a gas Jet. A
half-empty flask of wood alcohol was
found on a table beside him. He had evi
dently swallowed the alcohol, but, finding
it did not accomplish the desired result,
next resorted to the gas. Despondency
resulting from prolonged sickness Is sup
posed to have caused him to take his life.
Another of the janitors went to the room
to wake him, and discovered him lying on
a cot, dead. The following note was on
the table:
"No Coroner wanted here It Is a little
rest I am after a little rest.
"The means used to insure the desired
rest is a liberal amount of wood alcohol.
Should the rest be longer than seems nat
ural. Just move me to the potter's field
or Lone Fir there to come to."
"GEORGE USHERWOOD."
The note was dated August 3, noon, but
the deed was not committed until after 11
o'clpck at night, as he was known to have
entered the room about that time. He
used the room at times as a sleeping
apartment.
Usherwood was C5 years old, and was
borrt In England. He rerfded with his wife
on'Marquam Hill. They had no children,
and he drank some, but his sprees were
periodical, and not frequent. Recently he
had suffered with heart trouble. The doc
tor advised him to remain down town for
a while, and not climb the hill to his
home, and being away from his wife add
ed to his despondency.
The deceased had worked at the Court
house most of the time for the post 15
years, and he once occupied a position as
Janitor In one of the public schools. He
was a veteran of tho Civil War, and came
to Portland 37 years ago. He conducted
a hotel known as the What Cheer House,
and 30 years ago he worked as bartender
for Frank Galena in a saloon at First and
Washington- streets. He was a man of
good education, of a genial, liberal dispo
sition, and had many friends.

TILLS RIVER
TO ITER LI
Reclamation Service Is Ready
to Start Project to Irri
gate 25,000 Acres.
PEOPLE MUST APPROVE
Land Is Patented and Acceptance
of Owners Is Necessary Canal
to Carry "Water to the
Reservoir.
The Reclamation Service has announced
a feasible project from the Umatilla River,
on the East Side, of from 15,000 to 15,000
acres of land, which can be supplied with
full water supply, and 1O.C00 to 12,000 acres
which can at the same time be provided
with flood water, or Winter Irrigation.
John T. Whistlor, district engineer for
the Reclamation Service in Oregon, In an
interview yesterday said: "An excellent
small project exists on the Bast Side of
the Umatilla River, below Echo. This re
gion has generally been conceded by the
service to belong largely to the field of
private Interests, since ?veral small en
terprises arc already under process of
construction or are contemplated. The
Reclamation Service, however, has worked
out a plan for a feasible project of from"
23.000 to 30.003 acres. The greater part of
the land coming under the project is cither
patented or entered upon, and, therefore,
the Reclamation Service can only present
the plans proposed to the people Interested
for their acceptance or rejection.
"The general plan proposed is to divert
water from the Umatilla by a feed canal
between 15 and 20 miles long Into what is
called Cold Springs reservoir site. A dam
there to hold the water, M feet deep, will
impound a sufficient supply alone for 15.
00) acres. About 1S.000 acres of good land
Is estimated to He under the reservoir,
and, by using one irrigation in the Spring
direct from the river, it Is thought the en
tire 15,000 acres can be provided with an
absolute and assured full supply.
"Lying above the reservoir distribu
taries, but below the feed canal, will bo
from 10,000 to 12.000 acres of Irrigable land
which can. by Increasing the size of the
feed canal, be supplied with flood water
or Winter Irrigation.
"All plans, proposed by the Reclamation
Service provide for, structures of the most
permanent character, which will thus re
duce the cost of maintenance to a mini
mum. The plans also provide for all nec
essary drainage. A permanent diversion
weir, or dam, will be provided at the
point of diversion of the Umatilla River.
'The reclamation act Itself provides that
payments for Government water rights
shall be made In ten annual payments
without interest. The plan in other proj
ects has been to make the first payment
due In December, after the first full sea'
son's irrigation.
"The Government lien required on all
patented lands before construction will be
gin cannot, however, be foreclosed until
another year allowing, therefore, two en
tire Irrigating seasons before the first
payment can be required.
"The cost per acre estimated -on includes
all maintenance for the ten years during
which payments are made.
"Final estimates cannot be worked out
for some time, but It seems probable the
project will cost little. If any. in excess of
iM per acre for the fully Irrigated land,
and $20 for the flood or Winter Irrigated
land.
"It should be understood that these fig
ures are only approximate and that final
estimates may change them materially
They are given now In order that the
project may be considered as promptly as
possible, and to the end that. If It Is de
sired by the people under tho project that
the Government take It up. It can be done
with as little delay as possible.

South Portland Citizens' Association
Protests Against Special Favors.
The City Council, street railway corpo
rations of Portland and first families were
grilled by members of the South Port
land Citizens' Association at a meeting In
Tcrwllliscrs Hall last night. The asso
ciation met for the purpose of discussing
the act of the Council In assessing property-owners
for fills in the South Portland
district.
A committee of 15 was appointed by the
association to go before the Council at
Its next meeting to ask for an ordinance
enlarging the South Portland district.
South Portlanders have refused to pay
their assessments, and say that they will
wait until suit Is brought by .the city, at
which time an Injunction will be asked
restraining the city from making collec
tions.
Street railways were anathematized on
the ground that they were not made to
pay their share of taxation, and that,
while private citizens were asked to pay
fill assessments, the street-car companies
make no Improvements whatever.
Incidentally, first families were accused
of trying to have a- garbage ordinance
Introduced In the Council whereby they
would gain control of the city refuse. It
was claimed that If the privilege was
given over to private Individuals, citizens
woukl be mulcted out of at least 53IO.00O
a year, and even more tnan tnat. u, as
proposed, each house la assessed 51 a
month for the removal of garbage.

TO ERADICATE PEST
SIMPLE 3LETIIODS EFFECTIVE
AGAINST CUTWORMS.
Secretary Lumberpon, or State Board
or Horticulture, Jssucs Circu
lar of Instruction.
George H. Lamberson, secretary of the
State Board of Horticulture, tells what
he knows about the destruction of cut
worms, which at this time of the year
aro such a menace to gardens and ilowers,
in a very instructive letter. Writing on
the subject. Mr. Lamberson gives simple
methods of extermination, as follows:
The family of cutworms Is a large one.
Moat of the species are very destructive to
youn? awl tender vegetables, cutting or sev
ering; the plants when but a few Inches above
the ground, from which habit ther derive
their common name.
The larvae, or worm," becomes full grown
about the middle or June, and when extended
measures nearly two Inches In length. Whlie
differing in size, color and markings, being
smooth and, of some shade of gray, green,
brown or black. "When mature the larvae en
ters the ground, and In about IS days a
moth appears of a grayish brown color, which
measurer, about one and three-quarters Inches
artten wmga tfre expandd.
Bsjtf are laid by the moth near the roots
of grasp, dead or dried, the young appearing
eight or ten days later. On the approach ef
Winter the worm goes Into the ground below
the reach of frost, hibernating In the chrysa
lis state, appearing In the Spring again as a
moth.
When not excessively numerous, they retain
their normal cutworm habit. In seasons of
excessive numbers, from crowding, or having
exhausted the food supply where hatched, they
are forced by necefslty to migrate to fresh
pastures In great bodies, hence the name "army
worm." In the South three generations are
produced; In Oregon there probably would
not be more than two generations.
They are preyed .upon by numerous enemies,
a certain fly deposits Its eggs in them, which
hatch and consume the worm, beetles, robins
and other birds devour them. The worm
feeds by night, hiding in the daytime under
the surface of the ground.
For fniall flower and vegetable gardens, take
fresh cabbage leaves, clover or grass, saturate
with a mixture of Paris green or London pur
ple In water, and place on the ground In the
evening. A teapoonfcl of Paris green to a
bucket of water Is about right. This will have
to be repeated every evening, for they will
not be attracted to It after It has wilted.
Plow a single furrow eight or ten Inches
deep, with the Mde toward the field to be
protected perpendicular or sloping under; pits
are made every fad or so In the furrow, about
a foot square and two feet deep, with clean,
straight sides. Worms will fall Into these
pits In great numbers. When a pit la nearly
full of worms, others may be dug, using the
earth to bury those already In the pita. The
trenches should be dressed with the spade, af
ter the plow, to make sure of straight, smooth
skies. The following epray Is recommended;
One pound of Porta green, half-pound of,qulck
llme to 200 gallons of water. Slack the lime
In part of the water, sprinkling In the Paris
green gradually, then add the rest of the
water.

The Theory of "Persecution."
MEDFOKD. Or.. Aug. 3. (To the Editor.)
In reply to your criticism of my recent letter,
I would my that the evil of a crime Is not
lessened, but Increased, by every recurrence
of the crime; but in the case of Mr. Mitchell,
his prosecution was not brought about to
rectify a wronjr, but waa tho result of con
tinued persecution an effort to end Mr. Mitch
ell's political career.
Our state, or our Nation, dees not need that
Mr. Mitchell be made a public example- to
restrain others who are morally and ethi
cally weak. Such examples are already too
numerous, so it the purpose of the prosecu
tion be to give us better, purer government, let
the good work so on with Godspeed, for much
there Is still to do. Stop not with the ex

posure of the evil doings of one raan. Re
spectfully. E. K. FAUCETT,
The Oregonlan thinks tho prosecution ot
Mr. Mitchell was not at all Inspired by a.
wish or purpose to end his political ca
reer. The Administration at Washington
could have had no such motive. It was irt
nowise unfriendly to him. but friendly,
rather. But in the effort to stop land
frauds it was found that he bad been
lending aid to many persons under sus
picion and prosecution, and these discov
eries opened the way to what followed
There Is no likelihood, we think, that the
prosecution will "stop with the. expoauro
of one man."
