lNHY WILSON FELL
Borrowed Money From Kribs
and Did Not Repay.
HIS SECRET SERVICE WAYS
Iind Office Did Xot Uike His Plac
ing Himself Under Obligations
to Big Timbernicn. He
Was Investigating.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Afcg. 2S. Intimacy with Fred
erick A. Kribs, the Oregon land operator,
who was "good to Senator Mitchell," has
cost Special Agent George F. Wilson his
Job In the general land office. Wilson
has beon on duty -in Oregon for some
time and, while there, formed the ac
quaintance of Kribs. The two became
qulto friendly and in time Wilson bor
rowed 5260 from the land operator for
seme object unknown. Kribs had con
fidence that Wilson would return the
money, but in this he appears to have
been mistaken, for, although the- loan
was made many months ago, Wilson has
not as yet, so far as the department can
learn, returned the $250. Fearing his
money was gone, Kribs complained to
the department and an investigation was
made which satisfied the land office that
Wilson had borrowed the money and had
not returned It.
His dismissal, however, is not made on
account of his failure to return Kribs'
$250, but because he placed himself on
Intimate terms with a man wljose oper
ations he was expected to investigate and
the man with whom, above all others, he
should enter into no entangling alliances
and to whom he should not become
obliged.
Asked why he had made this loan, Wil
son replied that It was his method of do
ing good secret service work. He be
lieved if he could get big timber men
"on Intimate terms with them, he could
better serve the government than if he
was unknown or distant.
The department failed to see things in
this light, especially as Wilson had made
another big loan back in South Dakota,
which he likewise failed to repay, so his
sorvlces were discontinued.
Wilson was a Rhode Island man. About
the time the complaint was made against
him by Kribs, he was transferred to New
Mexico. The department has no concern
over Kribs' money; he must take his own
means to recover from Wilson.
ALBERS RESISTED THE LAW
Merry Tells Cause of American's
Arrest In Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S. A cablegram
received at the State Department from
Minister Merry, dated at San Jose, Costa
Rica, today, says that Albers, the Amer
ican citizen arrested in Nicaragua, Is In
comfortable quarters, and is allowed to
receive his friends In Jail. He has also
been permitted to visit his own house
twice and has retained two lawyers, who
may consult with him. Mr. Merry adds
that he will see that Albers has a fair
trial.
A mail report received today from Mr.
Merry, dated at San oJse, August 18,
gives the information called for by the
State Department as to the cause of the
arrest of Albers. It appears from Mr.
Merry's report that only one man of that
name was involved In the trouble. The
Minlstor Inclosed a copy of a telegram
received by him from the Nicaraguan
Minister for Foreign Affairs, dated at
Managua, August 13. In this dispatch the
Minister for Foreign Affairs stated that
William C. Albers resided in Jalapa, in
the "District of New Sebogia, and that
he opposed the local authorities In their
attempt to servo a- writ. In his excite
ment. Albers, it Is charged, insulted the
Prosident of the republic The author
ities of Jalapa began a civil suit against
him, and the course of the proceedings
caused his removal to the headquarters
f the district, where Albers will be tried.
Building of Great Station.
NEW YORK. Aug, 28. At the pres
ent rate of progress in the work of
improvement, it is expected that three
months will see the Grand Central sta
tion razed and work begun on the mag
nificent structure which Is to replace the
5nly railway terminal at present existing
an Manhattan Island. Only the non-com-plotlon
of the temporary offices for the
railroad company prevents the work of
tearing down the old structure at "once.
Work on the Improvements has gone as
tar as it can without entering the sta
tion or causing an Interruption of the
train service. Where two years ago stood
several hundred homes In the section be
tide the tracks between Forty-fourth and
Forty-ninth streets, today Is an excava
tion quite extensive in itself, but only a
traction of the great hole that will be
made in the nineteen square blocks which
the torminal will cover. The plans of the
railroad company call for an expenditure
5 $25,000,000 on the Improvements.
Large Dock at Aberdeen.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 28. (Spe
Sial.) Harrison Bros, and Bert Morris,
owners of the dock at the foot of G

pletion of the toll bridge across the Che
halls River to extend the dock, and scv
tral hundred feet are being added in or
Sor to accommodate ocean traffic
The dock will be called the Union and
rrlll be the site also of large warehouses.
It is proposed later on to establish a
lorvice between Gray's Harbor and Port

THAT IS
GENUINE
An advertising critic in a recently pub
lished article says that in store advertising
generally there is a great lack of feeling dis
played, and notes especially the fact that the
word WELCOME is very seldom used. This
writer, however, finds several exceptions
among the test-known and most popular
stores, undoubtedly having in mind this
"Old Homestead Store" for one.
We have ever endeavored to impress upon
the public how genuinely welcome they are to
come and sea us, to go through the store, to
ask questions and to make themselves gen

apply especially to visitors in the city.
