Vnited States District Attorney Has New Evidence of Timber Steals to Lay Before Grand Jury. That part of Oregon's gentry who dab .bled In Government lands and .were in dicted, contacted and sentenced, and those who have been indicted. . yes, and those who are yet to b Indicted, find no solace in the decision rendered by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the riun aealnst Dr. Van Gesner and Marion R. Biggs and ex-Congressman J. X. AVilliamson. The news of the decision caused a small-sized panic among thoFe vho have been Involved in illegal land deals and whose cases are still pending. ' It is a well known fact that United States Attorney Bristol has been anxious ly awaiting- the time wlven he can call a Federal irrand Jury. His department is In possession of evidence about land steal- ' ins that Is watting to be laid before the members of the grand Jury. ' Just how many new land fraud cases nave-been investigated by Mr. Bristol and his offi cial force is not known, but it has been rumored from time to time that there are many and that prominent people are In volved, not only in the state but out of it as well. In running down the tag-end of the cases that F. J. Heney left unfinished and which Mr. BrlBtol Inherited when He ney went to San Francisco, the Govern ment officials ran across a number of Bjross land frauds. These have all been - quietly Investigated and evidence would "have been placed before a Federal grand Jury long ago. but for the fact that the trials of -Williamson. Gesner, Biggs and others who were tried and convicted, took up the entire attention of the courts. While these trial were going on civil eulta were piling up. Both Judge Wolverton ' and Judge Gil bert have been working night and day trying to clear up their dockets, so that United states Attorney .Bristol mignt can a grand jury. The knowledge that this grand jury is soon to be called and the fact that the United Statea Circuit Court ,of Appeals has held all along the line against the contentions of the defense have caused uneasiness among the timber grabbers. Judge A. S. Bennett, leading counsel for 'Williamson, Gesner and Biggs, will not decide what action his clients Ir. j ueaner ana xsiggs, will l&xe. l ney nave 15 days In which to make up their minds. Judge Bennett will wait until copies of the decision are before him before he finally determines what his next move will be to save -his clients from the bars. In the meantime he will consult with Dr. Gesner and Biggs. The defendants may ask for a rehearing, but It is doubtful. There was a rumor some time ago that ex-Oongressman Williamson. lr. Gesner and Biggs had decided to stop fighting their cases. This waa denied by Wil liamson, but In spite of this the rumor was revived yesterday. Williamson s case is pending before the United States Supreme Court. He, like Dr. Gesner and Biggs, filed an appeal be fore the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and this was dismissed because Williamson had taken his case to a higher court and stood on his constitutional rights as a Congressman.

Cure all female Irregularities, A PIONEER PASSES MY HARRY K. MORGAN DIES OF SEVERE COLD. Deceased Was Chief or Fire Depart ment and Was Well Known In City. Harry Kinsey Morgan, Portland pioneer and former chief of the Fire De partment of this city, died early yes terday morning at his home, 30914 Fifth street, from pneumonia, aged 76 years. The funeral will occur at Klnly's Chapel 1 ' V ? vfl 7 J Tbe Late Harry K. Morgan. Thursday at 2 o'clock. Death was the direct result of a severe cold, contracted while he was in attendance at the funeral of John Kelly last week. 'For the past three years, Mr. - Morgan had been employed as City Park police man, and he stuck to his post with char acteristic nerve until . absolutely forced by his illness to surrender last Saturday night. . Mr. Morgan - was born In Murtha, Wales, March 16, 1KH.- but when three years old he came to'New Tork with his parents. He was among the many who went to California in the gold excitement. He was a foundryman by trade and be came the head of a union In San Francis co, which went on a long strike and lost its cause. He then came to Portland, where ho had resided since. He was chief of .the Fire Department from 1884 until 1S92, when political changes caused his release from the position. He leaves no family. BERESFORD'S VISIT BRIEF British Noble Hastens on Way to Canada. Lord Charles Beresford, commander of the British navy, did not remain long In Portland, In fact, he scarcely did more than hesitate, for he arrived at midnight Monday, slept until 10 o'clock yesterday morning and departed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. His lordship Is in a hurry, for he should by rights be aboard the flag ship of the Channel squadron. He has much business connected with his late brother's estate to settle up In Canada be fore returning to -Albion and not much time to do it. The distinguished sailor declined to see ' interviewers while here, so the local public is deprived of the pleasure of hearing what he .might have said 1 about . the '. Japanese question. Port land's . prospects t and the , approaching baseball season. ' ; . . He : simply came . right . In ' and - turned around and went right out again. - GROWTH- IS SURPRISING H. B. Hall Comments on Showing of "-' " ' ; Local Postofflce. H. B. Hall, a -. representative of the First Assistant Postmaster-General of the United States, was in the city yesterday, and paid an official visit to ' Postmaster Minto. ; - Mr. Hall said the Portland office now ranks with 52 of the largest Postof flees In the United States, and he was sur prised to note the wonderful growth of business which this office has . made within the past few months. He said .the office in" Portland would be reorganized after July" 1, 1907," when It will appear officially in the first class. Mr. Hall resides in San Francisco, and is making one of his periodical visits to Postofflces in the large cities of the Northwest, Smith has put the price of meat as low as anyone can wish and kept it there. He has been able to do this because he is doing the volume of business, because you and your neighbor have given him your patronage otherwise he would have failed. Every man who keeps the Beef Trust meat out of his home is doing his country as big a service as the man who shoulders his gun in war. That your fighting part is an easy one, that the victory is a bloodless one, makes it not less great. You are fighting the enemy within the fold, you are buffeting the tryant that stalks by your table three times a day and demands one-half the meat on your plate; the Beef Trust aims to charge twice what Smith charges, and you would have to pay it, if you were not help ing Smith and Smith were not helping you to .'
