AUDITORS CHEER VERDICT
More Than an Hour Taken in Delib

iSince Spring. ,
THE DALI.ES. Or.. Nor. 17. (Special.)
At a few mlnutes.bcfore 5 o'olock this :af
ternoon the Jury Jn the case- of the State
vs Frank Reis for the killing of James
Foss on May 11, 1903. In his homestead
cabin In the H.qod River Valley, brought
in a verdict of not guilty, after a dellb-
oration of -one and a quarter hours. So j
firm was the belief that an Immediate
agreement would be reached that a welU
filled courtroom greeted the bailiff who
carried the news from the Jury-room that j
a verdict was had. News of a decision
spread rapidly through the courthouse,
and in live minutes' time a crowd was
flocking in to hear the result. The specta
tors were mosly men, although a sprink
ling of women and children was seen.
So quickly did the Judge and attorneys
respond to the call of the bailiffs and so
rapidly was the polling of the jury and
the reading of the verdict disposed of that
20 minutes from the time the Jurymen
filed into the courtroom, Reis and his
mother were leaving the Courthouse,
where he has been Imprisoned since May
last.
Promptlv upon the stroke of 9 this
morning the Circuit Court convened and
the last arguments for and against the
guilt of the defendant commenced.
Almost instantly after Judge Bradshaw
had taken his seat. Deputy District At
torney Fred W. "Wilson rose and proceed
ed to address the jury. For an hour Mr.
"Wilson presented the state's case. He re
viewed the evidence given during the trial
up to the point of Mrs. Mary Rlggs' story
and the statement made by Reis In his
own behalf. There the speaker claimed
that the testimony diverged, and. in con
nection therewith, dwelt eloquently upon
the circumstances which he claimed had
brought about the tragedy.
Mrs. Rlggs Was the Cause.
To the presence of Mrs. Riggs in the
settlement of Mount Hood, Mr. "Wilson
laid the cause of the crime. Both Foss
and Reis were her neighbors, both were
her admirers and Foss had become vio
lently Jealous of his young rival.
Eccentric in his ways, and living the
lonely life of a bachelor upon his isolated
homestead claim, the miseries of jealousy
had been added to his growing melan
choly. The fact that Mrs. Rlggs did not
reciprocate his affection but added fuel
to the fire or his already Inflamed Imagi
nation, resulting in the outbreaks of vio
lence which had shocked and terrified
many of his neighbors. In these Insane
moments Mr. "Wilson held that Foss had
insulted and angered Reis, and that when
his threats had extended to the personal
pafetv of Mrs. Rlggs. Reis had deliberate
ly determined to end the annoyance and
had taken the old man's life.
W. H. Wilson, counsel for the defendant,
followed the Deputy District Attorney and
for something over an hour ably laid his
plea for acquittal before the Jury. His
line of defense lay chiefly in the fact that
nothing had been proved against his cli
ent, and that If the circumstances which
had been presented against Reis would
ff Mm ihov micht also convict his
neighbor. J.N. Knight, If arrayed against
him. with the earnestness or aeep con
viction Mr. "Wilson drew attention to the
fact that no shadow of scandal or 111 be
havior had ever fallen upon his client and
that no voice had been raised to connect
him with this ghastly crime except that
of George Perkins, who had sworn that
he met Hcis coming from the cabin where
in lay the bullet-riddled remains of James
Foss and had then and there admitted
his guilt. A. A. Jayne, also ror tne a&
fense. followed Mr. "Wilson, closing his ar
gument before the noon recess.
Judge Bradshaw Charges Jury.
At 2 o'clock, upon the reconvening of
court. Prosecuting Attorney Menefec
closed the state's case, addressing the
-im-v for an hour and a half. "I thank
vou. centlemen. for your attention," had
barelv left the Uds of the District Attor
ney and he had not regained his seat
whin Judire Braasnaw commencea nis
cnarsre to the Jury.
This oecunled 20 minutes, and at 2:30
the jury retired from the courtroom. As
the Jury disappeared a portion of the
audience, which had crowaea tne court
room to Its limits, dispersed, many re
malnlng, however. In the hope of seeing
the Jury return in a short time, une gen
oral opinion prevailed that unless the evl
dpnee of Georco Perkins was wholly be
lleved by the Jury, they would not convict,
hence an early verdict was expected.
During this interim Reis sat quietly, as
he has throughout the trial, beside his
mother, anxiety clearly depicted on his
face but no embarrassment. He was per
mitted to remain in the courtroom fori
time, manv of his friends and sympatnlz
ers occupying their seats in the hope of
an immediate verdict. At this time the
favorable sentiment toward Rols was most
noticeable, the anxiety under which he
was laborlnc apparently being appreciated
and shared by the groups waiting about
the room and lobby.
An hour and a quarter later the news
was broucht that a verdict had been
reached, and the Judge, who had not left
the bulldlnc. was called, as well as tne at
torneys. In ten minutes' time the Jury
had filed Into the Jury box. the usual for
malitles had been covered, and the sealed
envelope bearing Reis fate was handed
to the Judge, so brier was tne message
therein that few caught the few words
that preceded the announcement of "not
cullty. ' but no one missea tnat.
As Judge Bradshaw pronounced the
words a rousing round of applause broke
from the benches and the crowd closed
In about Reis, shaking his hand and evi
dencing In many ways the popularity of
the -verdict. After receiving the congratu
lations of his friends and shaking hands
with the Jury. Reis was permitted to re
turn with his. mother to her hotel, the
pair being accompanied by a group oi re
Inlclntr friends.
"With the acquittal of Reis rises the
question of who shot James Foss in his
cabin and burned his lifeless remains on
May 11, 1905. Blind Justice may yet walk
abroad In the quiet little community of
Mount Hood. and. as in the Norman
"Williams case, years afterward reveal the
murderer.

KLAMATH SAYS SECEDE
BASIN IS NATURALLY TRIBU
TARY TO CALIFORNIA.
People Vexed at Portland's Apathy
Turn South Unless Railroad
Facilities Arc Furnished.
KLAMATH FALLS. Cr., Nov. 17. (Spe
cial;) "What Is Portland going to do to
ward gottlng railroad communication with
Klamath County?" Is the question heard
among the business men and' -cltlzons of
Klamath Falls.
Every business man in the city foolB the-
same way regarding giving their trade to
Portland. At present everything goes to
San Francisco, simply because it is near
er and freight is lower from the Bay City
than Jt Is from Portland.
The "Weed road, recently purchased by
the California-Northeastern, is being
pushed this way as rapidly as 200 men
and machinery can push It. It Is an
nounced that this road has engaged sev
eral hundred more men from the saw
mills and lumbering camps, and as soon
as winter closes them down, a much larg
er crew will be placed on tho extension.
More evidence comes from the weed end
of the line, also, that it Is the Southern
Pacific behind tho California-Northeast
em Company, and this loads to the be
lief that possibly the projected cut-off
whereby the Southern Pacific will on
deavor to eliminate the Siskiyou Moun
tains and the Cow Creek landslides will
be built, giving tills county access to
Portland as a distributing center. If It
Is really the Harrlman Interests behind
the California-Northeastern project, this
looks very feasible. Once the road Is
built to Klamath Falls. It would then bo
a short cut to finish It through to tho
main line on the north.
San Francisco and Sacramento very
materially aided the Chamber of Com
merce of this city In Its effort to raise
the $100,000 bonus asked by the weed
Railroad people to build Into the Falls
About $15,000 was raised In these two cit
ies, and an effort Is now being made to
get the business men to turn all their
trade to the men who subscribed to this
bonus. In fact, this was the promise un
der which the Chamber raised these sub
scrlptfons, and recently a list of all the
subscribers to the bonus fund, along with
the plea that all business possible be giv
en these subscribers, was published In the
Klamath Falls papers. In addition to the
publishing of this list, each of the local
papers published strong editorials urging
the citizens of the town to "remember
those who remembered us" when placing
orders for goods. Yet. regardless of this.
the feeling Is general here that should
Portland furnish us with equal railroad
facilities, it would get the biggest end
of the business from this town and
county.
Under the present feeling regarding
Portland's attitude toward assisting In
getting a railroad Into this county It has
gone so far that It has been suggested
and strongly advocated by some that
Klamath County be cut off from Oregon
and annexed to California. This argu
ment is backed up with the statement
that the Klamath Basin naturally be
longs to the Bay State Instead of Oregon,
yet patriotism is strong enough that.
should Portland, even at this late date,
make an effort to furnish the people with
transportation facilities for .getting the
county's products to market and brlng-
Inc the necessities In here, all the bus!
ness would go to the Oregon metropolis
instead of to California to enrich that
state to the detriment of Oregon.
QUAKER GIRL GETS DRUNK

Register West Expresses
His
Opinion at Removal.
HIS RECORD IS UNTAINTED
Deposed Official States Pleasure at
Prcsjdent's Action and Will
Now Practice Law and
Mix in Politics.
LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 17. (Special.)
There Is no little surprise and comment
here ovor tho reported removal of J. .
"West. Register of the Lcwlston Land Of
fice by President Roosevelt While Mr.
"West has- hot received official notice of
his removal, the information appears to
bo authentic and as a consequence there
Is much speculation as to who his suc
cessor will be Mr. West has occupied
the position as Register since March 31.
ISfS, and while he looks at his removal
a the result of his prominence In poli
tics In this county, he says that he Is
glad to be relieved of the rejpon.slblllty.
It may be said at this time that when
the land-fraud Investigation carried on
by the Government was commenced Mr.
West's name was frequently mentioned.
It was alleged he was Involved in frauds.
but the results of the recent grand Jury
work at Moscow dispelled the Idea of his
connection In any way. According to in
formation received here. It Is stated that
Mr. West was discharged for being too
active In politics and also dabbling In re
linquishments before his office, his
brother, who lives In Moscow, being a
party to the scheme.
When seen tonight by an Orcgonlan re
porter, Mr. Wost said:
Injustice, Outrage, Says West.
"It is an injustice and an outrage, but
J have been expecting somo thing of this
sort, ana 1 am tree to say tnat my rec
ord in office as Heglstcr Is untainted with
any suggestion of fraud on my part. I
understand that one of the charges filed
against me is that I. in company with
my . brother, dabbled In relinquishments.
There Is ho foundation or truth In the
report or tho charges. My brother had
Home buriness In my Land Ofilce seven
years ago. when he filed on a homestead.
and since that time he has never had
occasion to transact any bus4nes In my
ofilce.
"Relative to my dabbling In politics, 1
cannot deny this, as I have been a
staunch Republican for 35 years and have
always taken an interest In politics. It
so happens that I havo been friendly
with a faction of the Republican parti'
that has been successful In Its labors in
this county. For my friendly Interests
presume that other .faction has been
trying to get me out. and If I am relieved
am glad of It, as I need a rest. I will
take up the practice of my profession.
that of an attorney, and In that capacity
presume I will be allowed to take an
Interest In Republican politics wheneve;
choose."
It Is understood that charges against
Mr. West were filed by Inspector O'Fal
lon and Special Agent Goodwin, who
worked up the land-fraud Investigation.
Mr. O'Fallon Is Kill In the city, but re
fused to discuss the matter of Mr. West's
removal, stating that the matter was now
In the hands of the department.
Has Seen Danger Befrc.
The removal of Mr. Wost recalls that
for a number of years certain factions
of the Republican party here have en
deavored to have him removed, and in
one instance he saved his position by
resigning as a member of the City Coun
cil, to which he had been elected. He
barely escaped dismissal during the last
campaign, when It Is said that the de
partment warned him to keep away from
the state convention, which he did.
It Is expected that President Roosevelt
will await the recommendation of Sena
tor Hey burn as to who shall succeed Mr.
West, and If offlclal advice Is received
here tomorrow of the removal, the Land
Office will probably be closed until a sue
cessor Is appointed.
While It Is not known who will receive
the appointment, it Is said that Senator
Heyburn favors either T. H. Bartlett
of Grangevllle, or H. K. Barnett. of this
city. There Is a well-defined, rumor afloat
here that Special Inspector O'Fallon, who
worked on the alleged land-fraud cases.
would like to have the position, and that
it would not be surprising if the Presi
dent appointed him. Wb!le everything Is
in the air thus far. developments will be
looked for with Interest among Rcpubll
can politicians of this section. A report
Is in circulation that the Land Ofilce may
be removed to Moscow, but there seems
to be no foundation for such report

HARVEST CLOSES IN PALOUSE
Wheat Damaged by Rains Is Saved
by Late Threshing:.
GARFIELD, Wash., Nov. 17. (Special.)
This week will wind up the threshing
or the season, and 1&5.CO0 sacks of wet
wheat, worth $100,OCO to the grower, has
been saved since the rain ceased falling
some two weeks ago. The Crisp brothers,
who threshed In the vicinity of Garflekl.
and Steptoc Butte 14 days after the rain
stopped coming down In torrents, havo
finished today, and In an Interview A bra
ham Crisp said:
"We. hav; threshed with two of our
machines 14.000 sacks of grain, mostly
wheat, that the farmers arc selling read
lly for SO and 51 cents a bushel, or $1 per
sack. In the locality where we have been
threshing since the rain there have been
several other machines, all doing good
work. We have saved the farmers In ;h
past two weeks not less than $14,J, and
It Is conservative to say that not less
than KO.000 sacks of grain, worth not
less than $100,000 have been saved to the
farmers throughout the Palouse country
the past 14 days.
"The farmers here got discouraged
after the rain, and supposing their grain
was all ruined, many of them sold in
shock to cattlemen for whatever they
were offered. James Haun. a prosperous
farmer llvlnc near Elberton. sold 40 acres
of wet whoat In shock for $10 cauh. After
the rains ceased and clear weather came
on the purchaser threshed part of the
crop and got 469 sacks of fair wheat.
which he readily sold for 51 cents per
bushel, receiving In cash nearly $S0. A.
Johnson, a farmer near Garfield, sold 55
acres of shocked wheat while the rain
was falling" for a cash consideration nf
$153. Our machines threshed for the pur
chaser 126S sacks of wheat, that sold

P. Donnals to make the run.
The latest Independent candidates are
E. D. Cuslck and H. F. Merrill for City
Treasurer. The former takes the place of
his brother, H. B. Cuslck. who was the
Republican candidate for re-election, but
who will move outside of the city limits
before the election. Merrill has been an
agitator of the Independent movement for
some time.
The time Cor filing Independent petitions
will expire with this week. Whether there
will be a full Independent ticket, as has
been much discussed by members of the
reform movement and others who have
personal or political grudges, is yet an
uncertainty.

Department to Enlarge Boise Bar
racks if Irrigation Ditch Is Moved.
BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 17. (Special.)
Major Turner, construction quartermas
ter, has received Information from Wash
ington that the department Is ready to
proceed with the enlargement of Boise
Barracks. Tho Major Informed the City
Council last evening, through the Mayor.
that he could not proceed and the depart
ment would hot proceed unless an ar
rangoment was made Immediately for the
moving of what is called the Perrault
ditch, an Irrigating canal, which cuts
across a comer of tho reservation.
The statement aroused a great flurry
It had been supposed the matter was
settled, as the City Council had agreed
to move the ditch and the arrangement
had been acceded to by Joseph Perrault
and F. Z. Johnson, the owners, and Major
Turner, representing the department. It
seems, however, there had been some
misunderstanding between Turner and
Perrault, and the latter was disposed to
stand on his rights as he holds a patent
for a right-of-way for the canal. Today,
however, the matter was settled, through
the agency of a committee, and the pros
pect Is that tho work will proceed.
