TRIALS IN IDAHO
New Interest Taken in Cases
That Begin at Moscow
Today.
BANK OFFICIALS INVOLVED
Indictment of Smith and West Has
Strengthened Case of Government.
Senator Jlorah Withdraws as
Counsel for the Defendants.
LEWISTON, Ida.. May 12. (Special.)
With the conveningof the United States
district court tor Northern Idaho at Mos
cow tomorrow morning, Judge Dietrich
on the bench, there will be a resumption
of the North Idaho land fraud trials
' which were so suddenly and unexpected
ly interrupted at the November term with
Judge Beatty as the Jurist.
Renewed Interest has been taken In the
cases lately by the announcement by let
ter from United States District-Attorney
Kuick at Boise to Attorneys I. N: Smith
and J. B. West of this city, that they
have been indicted by the grand ury
which recently sat at Boise, of conspir
ing to defraud the Government out of
timber lands, and the announcement from
the state capital from United States Sen
ator Borah that he is no longer chief
counsel for the defendants. The defend
ants include W. F. Kettenbach, president
of the Lewlston National Bank: George
Kester, cashier; William Dwyer, former
Michigan saloonkeeper and agent for the
bank; Clarence Robnet. bookkeeper for
the bank, and half a dozen other citizens,
besides Smith and West, who it is al
leged affiliated with the-bank officials in
their schemes to defraud the government.
With Senator Borah out of the case, he
himself being under indictment for com
plicity in Southern Idaho land frauds,
and assistant ' state prosecutor of the
Western Federation of Miners officials at
Boise, interest naturally turns to the se
lection of his successor. It is generally
understood that he will be Judge For
ney of Moscow, who was Senator Borah's
chief assistant during ' the November
trials. Senator Borah, it Is said, ha3 not
the kindly feeling for the indicted bank
officials that many suppose.
Forney Succeeds Borah.
During the progress of the William
Dwyer subordination of perjury trial at
Moscow last fall Senator Borah suddenly
announced that he Had been called to
Boise, and left the remainder of the trial
to Judge Forney. Before leaving Moscow
the Senator said that the bank officials
had misrepresented the cases to Kim.
He said they had told him the Govern-
ment had absolutely no evidence against
them. Clarence Robnet was tried first
and was convicted on one out of two
counts, the verdict being a compromise.
He was charged, with subordination o
perjury. Then came Dwyer. inndicted on
six counts. One was withdrawn by the
Government before the case went to the
Jury, and he was found guilty on the
remaining five.
It was suck convincing evidence the
Government presented that brought about
the convictions, that before he left Mos
cow Senator Borah said:
"Had I known when I was made chief
of counsel what I do now, I would not
have accepted. They have lied to me; de
ceived me. I am through with the cases."
Senator Borah wrote to the bank of
ficials Borne time ago stating that the
Federation cases would prevent his act
ing as chief of counsel at Moscow at- this
term of court. The Senator says the
bank officials have not replied to his let
ter. Neither has that pleased him.
With the indictment of Smith and West,
the Government officials assert they TTave
the two missing links In the! conspiracy
chain. The chain was incomplete wnen
the November term of court began. Dur
ing the progress of the sittings of the
Federal Grand Jury certain valuable and
much sought after evidence against the
two Lewlston attorneys was forthcoming.
It was of such a nature that thegovern
ment officials knew by the aid of secret
service men they could obtain sufficient
evidence upon hlch to base an indict
ment! and desiring to t all the con
spiracy cases at once, induced Judge
Beatty to adjourn court at the conclu
sion of the Dwyer case.
Evidence Is Strengthened.
During the Summer the secret service
men, acting upon the information secured
in the grand jury room, gathered up the
loose ends of the evidence,, with the re
sult that during the sessions of the grand
Jury at Boise the two Lewtston attorneys
were indicted. With true bills against
them, the Government announces that it
Is prepare to proceed with the prosecu
tion Immediately upon the convening of
court at Moscow tomorrow morning.
. It Is hinted by the Government that the
evidence that will be adduced at the con
spiracy trials will be as conclusive, more
so In fact, than that which convicted
Robnet and Dwyer. They promise that
the evidence will be most startling In
character, more deep laid and carefully
executed than most plots to defraud the
Government. It is further intimated that
during the progress of the trial the names
of many prominent citizens, not hereto
fore mentioned in connection with the
frauds, will be brought Into the lime
"it's said that West and Smith were the
h.nint to detect because they were more
rareful than the bank officials, who, since
their schemes have been laid bare, it is
said, were most braxen in their methods.
To Dwyer is given most credit for the
lovinir of the schemes and the carrying
them into execution. It is said that much
of the timber could nave Deen acquivea
by the means used had it not been that
in ivot who was then register of the
Federal land office, they found' a willing
accomplice.
Grow Less Boastful.
" At first the bank officials boasted
that the Government had no evidence
against them; that 'the indictments
were a result of a political faction, and
that when the cases came to trial the
Government would be. snown up in
' ridiculous manner. When Kettenbach
and Kester later ascertained that they
had been entertaining secret feervlce
men. and got an Inkling as to what
evidence the Government nad. secured
against them, they dropped the cry
that the Government did not dare to
proceed to trial. Just prior to that the
bank officials had taken- heart in the
motion on the part of the Government
to postpone the cases from one term to
another. The bankers and their agents
took that as an indication of weakness
on the part of the ederai autnonues.
On the other hand, the Government
was asking for a delay to secure lur
ther evidence, to make so certain of
their cases that conviction would be
overwhelming in each and every In
stance. So far such has been the case. And
in the cases to be tried the Govern
ment xurouilses evidence eyen, more cou,-
vlnclng than that adduced at the sub
ornation of perjury' trials.
It Is stated upon' excellent authority
that following the conviction on the
conspiracy charges the Government
will bring re-enactment proceedings to
recover and throw open lor settling
the thousands of acres of land in the
Clearwater country, which the bank
has acquired. This land is mortgaged.
or was at last accounts, to Portland
interests for 1100,000. This money, it
is said, was needed by Kester and Ket
tenbach when the Lewlston National
Bank was reorganized some months
ago, to take up about that amount of
worthless paper acquired largely by
Kester and Kettenbach. the new inter
ests in the bank refusing to carry the
paper longer, and demanding It be sub
stituted by cash before the reorganiza
tion take place.
Obtain Money in Portland.
It Is said that after the November
trials, when the Portland people who
had advanced $100,000, got an inkling
as to the true condition of affaiTS, that
they made a demand for the return of
their money, or additional . security.
Just how the matter was straightened
out is not known, but suffice it to say
that there was an Interchange of visits
between Lewlston and Portland people,
much letter-writing and sending of
telegrams.
Some years ago, when the bank first
began to acquire timberlands, the Pot
latch Lumber Company, after warning
the Lewlston Bank people to keep their
hands off timber In this section of the
state, laid a trap for the Kester-Ket-tenbach
crowd, and unloaded jjpon
them a lot of state land which would
cost them about $10,000 more than they
could sell it for if they finally secured
title to the same. Rather than secure
title to the land the bank forfeited
$5000 It had deposited, the state agree
ing, In view of the forfeiture, not to
force the bank to live up to Its agree
ment and take the land.
During the session of the Legislature
Kester went to Boise, in an effort, it is
said, to induce the State Government
to let the bank acquire title to the
ttmberland which It had rejected some
years ago. In the meantime the land
had so increased in value that It would
have almost settled the Portland ac
count. But as near as can be learned,
the state refused.
Whether the bank crowd will be
ready for trial Monday morning re
mains to be seen. The Government is,
and will insist upon the trials pro
ceeding. Inasmuch as Judge Dietrich
has engaged rooms at Moscow for two
months. It is expected that the trials,
once they are started, will last that
long. If not longer.
HEW REST LAW OBSERVED
BUSINESS AXD AMUSEMENT SUS
PENDED IN IDAHO.
Friends of Law Construe It Freely,
While Opponents Wish It En
forced to the Letter.
BOISE, Idaho, May 12. (Special.)
The Sunday rest law enacted at' the
last session of the Legislature is now
In effect and today was the first Sun
day under it. The law seems to have
been observed generally throughout
the southern part of the state. At all
points heard from, saloonB, general
business houses, theaters . and other
places of amusement were. closed.
In Boise one small provision store
conducted by W. F. Dolan, kept open
for the purpose of testing the law.
For 15 years general business has been
suspended here, but a few places like
that of Mr. Dolan's have been kept
open. The saloons have been closed
two years by city ordinance.
In many towns general business has
been conducted on Sundays, but all
closed up today. There Is much dis
pute about the scope of the law, and
those opposed to it are disposed to
give It a. very strict construction,
while Its friends Insist It is to be
given liberal construction; that it is
not a blue law, but one to give as many
people as possible a day of rest with
out interfering with the necessities or
comfort of the people. .

NO PLACE LIKE OREGON
Sentiment, Even Among Democrats,
Found to Favor Re-Election of
Roosevelt, Who Received an
Ovation at the Big Fair.
HOOD RIVER, May 121 (Special.)
Travel-stained and weary and declaring
that Oregon never looked better to
him. E. L. Smith, Commissioner to the
Jamestown Exposition, stepped off the
train yesterday. Mr. Smith has been
gone about a month, having left April
13 to be present at the formal opening
of the exposition. He went direct to
Jamestown and, with the exception of
the time spent In traveling, was either
at the exposition or visiting historical
points in Virginia.
Mr. Smith, who met the President,
discovered while in the country of the
first' families of Virginia that he la
their choice for re-election to the Pres
idency, and was informed by Demo
cratic leaders there that no "member
of the Democracy could carry the elec
toral vote against him should he again
consent to become a candidate. His
popularity, Mr. Smith says, is over
whelming, and his visit to Jamestown
was the signal for an ovation wher
ever he went. Even Senator Daniels,
the old Democratic warhorse of the
state that produced Thomas Jefferson,
is unqualifiedly for Roosevelt should
he consent to run again. . - .
When questioned in regard to the
outlook for. the exposition and its pres
ent showing, Mr. Smith said:
Impressions of Fair.
"At present the only building that is
open to sightseers is the one contain
ing the Government exhibit. The
buildings erected or in course of con
struction are very 'handsome, and when
the exposition is completed, which I
think will be about July 1, it will be both
attractive and interesting. Oregon is
not represented by an exhibit. In fact,
I was tho only Oregon product on the
ground. I regret very much that this
Is tho case, as I believe an exhibit
of the products of this great state
would have proved very valuable.
"The exposition grounds are beauti
fully situated, but hotel accommoda
tions at Jamestown are limited. Nor
folk, Richmond, Old Point Comfort and
other places adjacent to the . exposi
tion, which can be reached by boat
and train, will necessarily entertain
most of the visitors. Hotel rates have
already been doubled In expectation of
the great rush, and I had some diffi
culty in securing accommodations. The
most pleasant time to visit the expo
sition will be In October, which is a
delightful month in Virginia. I am
told that the Summer months at James
town are hot. While I was there the
weather was of all varieties. Although
much farther south than Oregon, Spring
was no more advanced than here.
Strawberry plants and apple trees were
in bloom when I left, and other vege
tation in about the same condition as
here.
State Needs Development.
"Virginia is still laboring under the In
fluence of the old regime of former grand
ness and conservatism, and needs some of
the rich red blood of the North and West
to wake It up. Many parts of It. rich" in
soil, lay neglected and untitled. Consider
ing it beneath them to become farmers
in the actual sense of the word, the
younger generation of the aristocracy of
little or limited means drift to the cities
and the wealthy do not, as a rule, adopt
modern methods.
"There are some exceptions, of course,
as in the case of Dr. Roblnsorr, who has
been in Oregon and is a great admirer of
it and particularly of Hood River. After
his visit here about two years ago the
doctor, who has one of the largest or
chards In Virginia, took up the idea of
cultivating and packing his Albermarle
pippins according to Hood River methods,
with the result that he has obtained
higher prices for his fruit. No fruit I saw
anywhere compares in quality with that
of the Northwest.
"My visit to Charlottesville, the former
home of Thomas Jefferson, was one of
the most pleasant incidents of my trip.
Situated in its beautiful landscape set
ting, it is a place of rare historical inter
est. The birth-place of many Presidents,
Jefferson was Virginia's illustrious son,
but his Democracy is notof our time.
Sound on all the principles of good gov
ernment, the framer of the Declaration
of Independence would undoubtedly have
been a Republican were he alive today.
"With all the glamour of Virginia's past
history and great future when Its coal and
other resources are developed. It Is to
Oregon and the West that the young man
must turn. The future is bright with
promise for him: and be he honest and
industrious, the latchstrlng is always out.

of blue blood.

CENSUS TO GET LIST OF ELEC
TION IS FIRST STEP.
Following City and General Elec
tions, Reconstruction of the Is
land Republic Will Begin.
HAVANA. May 12. Of far more im
portance than the preliminary skirmish-!
ing of General Jose Miguel Gomez and Dr.
Alfredo Zayas, for the Presidential nom
ination, are the preparations now. in pro
gress for taking the Cuban census, the
primary purpose of which Is to make pos
sible a fair and square election, and start
the new Cuban republic under a Presi
dent who has an unquestioned right to
the title.
The census will not be merely an
enumeration of the population with other
statistical- and economic information as
is usually compiled, but It will contain
primarily the registration of the voters
who are qualified to take part In the elec
tion. Long before the list is complete the
commission on revision of the laws of
which Colonel E. H. Crowder is chair
man, will have prepared the new election
law . and should the island still remain
tranquil, which there seems at present
no reason to doubt, there will be no ob
stacle in the way of carrying out the
present programme of holding the munic
ipal elections first, to be followed, after
an interval not yet precisely determined,
by the general election, which Is to pre
cede the reconstltutlon of the republic.
TIE-MAKING ON THE SANDY
Five Sawmills Engaged In Cutting
for Shipment at Troutdale.
Fourteen miles south of the mouth
of the Sandy River railway ties are
dropping 'into the swift current of the
stream at the rate of one every few
seconds from the flume that leads
back to the Fox sawmill, formerly the
Bramhall mill plant. The ties are
floated down the Sandy River to Trout
dale, where theyare caught In a boom
f.nd scooped oat of the water by
neans of an automatic machine, whose
ong arms pick them up and whisk
them up the incline to the bank, where
they are piled up awaiting shipment
to all sections of the country.
Seventy thousand ties will be made
at the Fox sawmill this season. Four
other mills, too. are working along
the Sandy, turning out ties, which will
be floated down to Troutdale for ship
ment. It is estimated that more than
250.000 ties will be cut on the Sandy
within the next few months. All bear
the mark of their makers, so they can
be segregated at the end of the river
oyage. Some will be stranded on the
shallows and along the banks of the
river, but men will follow them from
the sawmills and start them anew- on
their voyage to Troutdale. Few, If
any, will be lost.
The whole country along the Sandy
River, formerly heavily timbered. Is
being rapidly denuded of its forest
growth by the sawmills cutting rail
road ties. Every tree, that can be
turned into ties is being cut for some
one of the -five sawmills along the
river. The value of the railway ties
is considerable, the railroads paying
about 50 cents each for them. The
land from which the timber is being
cut is well suited for agriculture and
will be valuable when cleared. .

BOISE, Idaho. May 12. (Special.) The

Harry Orchard by shooting him from the
hills back of the penitentiary was con

said they had. found indications of such
a p"l4n. It was to shoot Orchard while
he was taking exercise in the yard of
the penitentiary. The men engaged in it
were well up on the hills and could watch
what was going on in the prison yards
through glasses, and the Warden thinks
the work of such may have been in the
interest of some plot. Efforts to get the
plans of the buildings have been made
several times, visitors being found look

My Success
I do not wish people to judge my work
merely upon what I say about it. I want
them to note the evidences to prove my
statements correct. The proof of a physi
cian's ability is to be found in the results
he obtains, and though I am not at liberty
to supply individual names of patients as
references, the marks of superior skill and
service are so prominent and conspicuous
as to render my doing so unnecessary. Six
teen years of success and constant growth
of practice is certainly a practical demon
stration that argues the merit of my work.
Estimate for yourself my volume of prac
tice as compared with the practice of other.
Western specialists. Is there the slightest
probability that if unable to back up all my
claims, I would have won and retained the
foremost place among physicians treating
ment Could I fail .to cure and yet succeed
as I have f Have you ever heard of promise
of mine remaining- unfulfilled, or of oneo
my patients being dissatisfied with the
treatment received! Consider these things
and then come and talk with me in regard
to your case. I am always willing to wait
for my fee until a cure is effected.

WHAT WEAKNESS IS AND
HOW I CURE IT.
Weakness is merely a
symptom of chronic Inflamma
tion In 'the prostate gland,
brought on by early dissipa
tion or by the Improper treat
ment of some contracted dis
ease. A complete and radical
cure Is, therefore, a question
of restoring the prostate gland
to Its normal state, and this I
accomplish promptly and
completely without the use of
Internal remedies. My treat
ment Is a local one entirely.
It Is original and scientific,
and has been proven absolute
ly effective by thousands of
tests. I am convinced that by
no other methods can full
and permanent restoration of
strength and vigor be accomplished.

being discharged as

treatment require.
