Bonds Are Not Required and She Goes fo Seattle and Will Later Return to Her Oakland Home. Mrs. Emma L. Watson, of land-fraud tiotorlety, was released from the cus tody of the Federal authorities at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, pursuant to the request of Francis J. Heney, and allowed to go on her own recognizance. She left for Seattle last night, where she will remain several weeks visiting: friends, after which she will return to her mother's residence at Oakland, Cal., whence she was so rudely taken when surrendered by Bondsman Ben Sweet nearly three months ago. Mrs. Watson was brought here from Oakland in the custody of Deputy Vnited States Marsha Kerrigan and lodred in the Multnomah County Jail, on dune 19, altnough convicted of con spiring in connection with the 11-7" frauds on December 6. 1904, in con junction with S. A. D. Puter, Horace G. McKlnley and Dan W. Tarpley, she lias never yet been sentenced, and it is extremely doubtful whether she ever will be. as Mr. Heney has felt satisfied for sometime that she was used as a catspaw by Puter and McKinley when she made the bogus homestead entry that resulted in her conviction. In view of the fact that the Oregon State Bar Association has cited Judge Tanner, Attorneys H. H. Turner, of Salem, and Charles F. Lord, of Port land, to appear before the grievance ommittee tonight and show cause why they should not be disbarred, the re marks of Mr. Heney on the subject at the time he made his closing address to the jury in the Blue Mountain forest reserve case, possess unusual signifi cance. Discussing this feature of the situation, he said: "And that brings me to another sug gestion. I told you that it is hard to convict a man of political influence or of financial standing, and so it is, as exemplified in this case. "You see Hopkins upon the stand, a lawyer, a disgraceto the bar. a Notary Public and it is disgrace to the admin istration of affairs in Oregon if these Notary Publics are permitted longer to hold their notarial commissions, who have testified as .iey have in this case. "And it Is a disgrace to the State of Oregon, and the Bar Association of the state if. W. M. LaForcc, Charles F. Lord and J. W. Hopkins, and any other attorneys who have taken this stand and confessed that they took false and perjured affidavits, knowing them to be false, are permitted to longer hold a license, and hold themselves out to practice law in this community, and I pray God that the powerful influence of attorneys like Mays and others in terested in him will not be sufficient to keep them in the practice." In the course of an interview at San Francisco last Sunday, Heney is quoted as saying that it was his intention to prosecute Hermann and Williamson jointly in the Blue Mountain case at the next term of the Federal Court here. Inspecting Assessment System. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) County Assessor A. T. Laws, accompa nied by Deputy Assessor Hugh Ksson, of Columbia County, were in the city today and inspected the system of assessing and listing property that Is' followed by Assessor Nelson In this county, with a view to substituting it for the plan that Is practiced in their county. 0. N. G. THIRD REGIMENT PRAISED BY ' OFFICERS OF REGULARS. Army and Navy Journal Comments on Showing Made by Oregon ians at American Lake. That the discipline of the Oregon Na tional Guard made a deep impression on the regular officers during the recent en campment at American Lake is shown by the frequent allusions to the Third Regi ment by the Army and Navy Journal, the recognized authority ,on naval and mili tary affairs. In its issue of September 8 It says: "Much commendation and tribute has been paid the guardsmen by the regulars, which has been of much gratification to them. An exceptionally fine 'esprit de corps' exists among the Oregonians. Even after the long hikes, the guardsmen suf fered no evil results, and might be seen in the evening skylarking and chatting around their campfirea. "The militia has proven beyond doubt its adaptability to campaigning, and has shown plenty of nerve In bearing the hardships of camp life. "The Second Brigade was under com mand of Colonel C. U. Gantenbein, of. the Third Oregon. He has been the only mi litia commander yet assigned to the com mand of a brigade. "No real battle occurred, the idea being that the retreating army retire with as few lost as possible from the action of the enemy's cavalry. This was considered to be the most Instructive and profitable problem since the maneuvers commenced. "The Third Oregon was the largest mi litia, regiment here. The Washinatona came next. While Idaho sent the smallest representation, four companies being un able to attend." In its issue of September 1 the Army and Navy Journal had these comments on the subject: "There was especially fine, 'esprit de corps' shown by the Oregonians. Colonel Gantenbein has just cause to be proud of his regiment during the maneuvers at Camp Tacoma, for the men worked, marched and maneuvered in excellent form." PRACTICAL MINING. A course in practical mining and assaying will be offered in the evening Institute of the Young Men's Christian Association, beginning Monday even ing, September 24. It is the aim of those in charge of the course to treat of mining, metal lurgy and assaying in a thoroughly practical manner. So far as possible, the student will be given an oppor tunity to do the work as it is done in the mines, mills and reduction works. This department is being equipped ac cordingly with up-to-date appliances and some features will be treated in connection with the large mining and assaying plant of the Garvin Cyanide Extraction Co. The course will Include geological occurrence and methods of mining, metallurgical treatment and assaying of gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, coal, tin,- zinc and with some attention to common clays, nickel, cobalt clays and other materials which are found in large quantities all along the Pacific Coast.

TELLS OF LAND OF GOLD JACK HARE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ALASKA MINES. Is Now Developing Rich Hydraulic Proposition In the Kougarok River Placer District. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hare, of Alaska, passed through Portland yesterday en route to New York by way of Cali fornia. Mr. Hare gives glowing ac counts of the wonderful development of Alaska's mineral resources the past season and places the gold production for this year at 112,000,000. "When one considers that there is only one hydraulic proposition work ing up there, this is .pretty good," he said, "and it is only a drop in the bucket to what may be expected in future seasons." Mr. Hare is just completing a big tunnel proposition in the Kougarok River district, which is the only thing of the kind yet attempted in Alaska. This tunnel drains a big loop of the river and furnishes an immense sup ply of water for a storage reservoir, which will be used in hydraulic min ing. The water coming through the tunnel Is pumped to the elevation of the reservoir, some 300 feet, by Its own pressure, thus saving a vast amount of fuel, which is worth almost its weight in gold in the interior districts. "The Nome & Arctic Railroad, which is cutting the Sawtooth Ridge, is sur veyed right over my property," he stated, "and I have been asked for six miles right of way for this road. This will enable me to place freight on my property for only $50 per ton, where it now costs many times that amount. "I have been in every mining camp in the country," ' he continued, "and there has never been anything to equal what we have in Alaska. Of course, I am especially enthusiastic about Kougarok, as I have' had such phenomenal luck there. Compare it with California gravel propositions or those of other placer states where miners think 20 cents per yard good pay- "In the whole six miles of my Kou garok property, the superintendent averaged the ground at $2.00 . per square yard, and for miles along this property men are shoveling in and making $15 per day." Mr. Hare is very proud of his tunnel, and declares it is now his turn to laugh at those who tried to discourage him in his undertaking. "They said it couldn't be done," he laughed, "but I was able to show them differently, and this year, a dry season, none of the ditch fellows had any water, but I was plentifully supplied and always will be. You can't mine .in Alaska without water and I have the water and the rich properties, too." Ronald Amundsen, the successful Arctic explorer, came out on the boat with Mr. and Mrs. Hare, and they de scribe him as of very modest and re tiring personality. . No one was able to get any information , from him about his disqpvery of the-Northwest Pas sage, it evidently being his determin ation to relate the facts to his Govern ment before .giving it to the world. Captain Amundsen is now at Sitka. Locating the Dividing Line. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 19. (Spe cial.) S. A. D. Hungate and Byron B. Herrick, Jr., County Surveyors of Clackamas nnd Marion Counties, left today for the source of Butte Creek above Scott's Mills, definitely to estab lish the boundary line between the two counties. Changes in the boundary have resulted in the source of Butte Creek and on account of which the lo cation of promising mining property, now being developed, s a subject for dispute as to which county the property really belongs.
