Gives $1000 Bonds.

Persons In Custody Soon as
He Can Locate Them.
ROSEBURG, Or., June 2i. (Special.)
-United States Deputy Marshal W. B
Griffith, of Portland, today arrested
three Roseburg citizens, Louls Kohl
hazen. Joseph Gilpin and L. S. Shipley,
on Indictments returned against the
men In the Government land-fraud
rases. Bench warrants for the three
men were issued out of the Federal
court in Portland two days after the
Indictments were returned. In each
case the amount of bonds was fixed at
$1000. These were furnished by the
defendants upon arraignment this even
ing bofore United States Commissioner
W. W. Calkins, of Eugene, who came
from Eugeno this afternoon for that
purpose.
These arrests are the result of the rush
for Jackson and Josephine County lands
which were filed upon at the Land Of
fice In this city last April. It has
later developed that nearly every claim
has either a squatter or a mineral con
testant, and the result is that nearly
all of those who filed upon the land
at that time, some 20 in number, are
liable to arrest on the charge of per
jury, the charge upon which the three
Koseburg men were arrested.
Marshal Griffith admitted today that
he has warrants of arrest for other
persons in land cases, but he declined
to make known the names of the
parties wanted or where they reside.
He expects, however, to serve the
warrants In a day or two.
ACCUSED OF JUMPING CLAIMS
Defendants Swore Land Was Unoc
cupied and Unimproved.
Kohlhagen, Shipley and ' Gilpin were
Indicted with several others, who have
not been apprehended, for making false
affidavits either as principals or as wit
nesses in connection with filing on tim
ber claims In Southern Oregon. They are
known to the Federal authorities as
"claim Jumpers." having filed on land
already occupied, at the same time
swearing that nobody was living on the
premises and that there were no improve
ments. The land alleged to have been filed on
improperly was included in a tract that
was recently thrown open to settlement
by the Government. Under the rules gov
erning the filing on such lands, bona fide
settlers who had located on the different
tracts and had made improvements, had
a preference right of 90 days In which
formally to file on the land. Most of the
land Is valuable for its timber, which Is
said to have been responsible for the
strife In getting possession. Before a
non-resident on the lands could file and
take up 160 acres as a timber claim he
was required to make an affidavit to-the
effect that nobody was living on the land
and that no improvements had been
made. It was for subscribing to such
false affidavits In an effort to defraud the
original settlers on the land, . that the
covetous land-grabbers were indicted.

Officers Chosen by Acclamation V.
W. Wiley, or Tillamook, Presi
dent of Association.
EUGENE. Or., June 26. (Special.) The
second day of the session of the Oregon
State Teachers' Association opened with
even a larger attendance than yesterday,
the number probably exceeding 600
teachers.
At the business meeting Albany was se
lected for the next annual meeting, the
Invitation coming from the Linn County
teachers and the Albany Commercial
Club, through Superintendent A. M. San
ders, who said?
Albany expects to treat the teachers as
well as the people of Eugene have done,
for no better treatment can be accorded.
Eugene and Albany or-s sister cities, and
Albany, ae the smaller, wants everything
that the larger han.
Officers of the association were elected
as follows by acclamation: President, W.
W. Wiley, of Tillamook: vice-president.
Superintendent E. T. Moores, of Salem;
second vice-president. Dr. H. D. Sheldon,
University of Oregon; treasurer, Margaret
J. Cosper, Salem. As a resident member
of the executive committee, W. L. Jack
non. Superintendent of Linn County, was
elected.
President R. F. Robinson In his annual
address recognized the problem , of in
creasing the irreducible school fund as
one of the most pressing before the people
of the state. He said a committee head
ed by Dr. Sheldon, of the University of
Oregon, was at work on this problem.
Another important consideration is the
distribution of high schools throughout
the country districts, where the child
may have his educational advantages
without being deprived of his home life.
President Robinson said that the "moral
question" that all schools had to face
was largely dependent upon the habits
and quality of the pupil's reading. He
considered the correspondence courses
given by the University of Oregon a
splendid method for adult education.
Other Important addresses were by Dr.
Sheldon on the school finances of the
state. Dr. Hart on application of Ameri
can historical geography, and President
Campbell's stereoptlcon address on
"Scenic Resources of Oregon."
Hot Winds Damage Wheat.
WESTON'. Or..' June 26. (Special.)
Much damage to grain in this vicinity
was caused by the hot winds Tuesday
and Wednesday. While Weston's crop
will be by no means a failure the yield
Is conceded to be much reduced In quantity-
and quality, and patches of yellow
appear In the best fields. The rust which
caused so much alarm a few weeks ago
attacked only the blades and will cause
no material loss.

dignitaries, will reach . this city from
Salt Lake to attend the conference
which opens in the morning and to at
tend the dedication of the new pipe
organ in the local Tabernacle. The
organ Is one of the largest In the state.
J. J. McClellan, world-famous for his

CAMPHOR OREGON PRODUCT
Found by Government Chemist in
Hoots of Hemlock Trees.
ASTORIA, Or., June 26. (Special.) Dr.
Hawley, the forestry expert who is
making an examination of the logi;ed oft
lands in this vicinity, believes that he
has made a discovery that may result in
greater benefit than was expected. In
distilling the roots of hemlock trees he
has produced an appreciable quantity of
camphor and while his test, with a very
primltlve furnace, must be verified by
the Xational laboratory at Washington,
yet he is confident that the hemlock roots
and stumps carry enough camphor to be
of commercial value.
The product he thinks will more than
pay for clearing the land. .

SALEM", Or.. June 26. (Special.)
Nearly 100 bankers gathered in Salem
today for the annual- session of the
State Bankers' Association. The first
committee of the American Bankers As
sociation to be heard before the Senate
"The Ideal Country Banker" was th
subject of an interesting and practical
address by W. O. Jones, assistant cash
ier of the National Park Bank of New-
York. Mr. Jones emphasized the value
of a liberal education for t'he country
banker and his employes. Among
otner things he said:
The a in which we live is one tinged
with hero worship and one in which we
have been accustomed to ascribe the high
est glory AO the warrior with pomp' and
splendor. The list of the world's heroes.
however. Is not entirely confined to those
who achieve distinction in war and con
quest. There has been quite as high a de
gree of heroism exhibited in the banker's
office as in the field of battle. We can never
disassociate from the eirly financial history
of our country the lofty patriotism and the
heroic self-sacrifice which characterized the
action of the banker. Robert Morris, of
Philadelphia, in tendering his entire for
tune, to tide over the financial distress of
this country.
The -relation of the business community
to the local banker is somewhat different
from that entertained toward those engaged
in other lines of endeavor. The local bank
Is the one place of business where the pub
lic universally expects and generally gets
the square dal. The country banker is
the guardian of the property of others and
he, like the mariner, scans the horizon for
the signs of the times and. as has been
said, reef his sail or spreads his full can
vas as the signs indicate financial storms cr
smooth sailing.
The city banker has been a favorite theme
for many years. The present appears to
me an opportune time to bring the country
banker Into the limelight of publicity After
all, the difference between the country and
city banker is, not so great as might at
first appear. In most instances the city
banker is simply the country banker come

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., June 2fi. (Special.) One of the features of the twenty-sixth annual encamp
ment of the Washington and Alaska Department of the Grand Army of the Republic was the drum corps,
which supplied martial music on all occasions and at all times of the day and evening. During the en
campment the City of North Yakima literally was half covered with National flaers and bunting; and the
citizens enjoyed the presence of the 1300 veterans and the women of the allied organizations quite as much
as the visitors enjoyed their stay here, which, according to their resolution, was considerable.
During the big parade of Wednesday the sidewalks were lined with people, and all the school children
of the city, to the number of over 1000, awaited the veterans in the shady residence quarter of North Second
street and sang patriotic songs and cheered the old soldiers when they arrived. The veterans were' deligtht
ed, and cheered the children in return.
The drum-major of the department, J. W. Brle.rl-. of Belllngham. known Rll over the Northwest as
"The Drummer Boy of Shiloh," was a prominent figure in the corps. Mr. Brierly was drum - major of the
Seventh Illinois Infantry, and distinguished himself by bravery on the field of Shiloh, where he rescued,
under heavy fire, a wounded comrade.

Reynolds Flays Aldrlch Bill.
The treatment of "The Unsettled Cur
rency Question" by Arthur Reynolds,
president of the Des Moines National
Bank, Des Moines, la., one of the leading
members of the currency commission of
the American Bankers Associaiton, and a
gentleman enjoying a National reputation
as a currency expert, was a most ex
haustive explanation of our present cur
rency system and needs for new currency
Issues.
Mr. Reynolds designated the Aldrich
Vreeland currency bill, passed at the last
session of Congress, as "an emergency
currency biU. an unscientific makeshift,
discrediting the ability of our lawmakers
and the banking fraternity, a patch upon
the coat of Joseph, a legislative bastard,
born between Senatorial courtesy and po
litical necessity."
Mr. Reynolds asserted that on account
of the fluctuation in the price of bonds
they are an unsafe asset to issue cur
rency upon: also that the tax provided
under the Vreeland' part of the bill is un
warranted and prohibitive.
Explains Uncovered Credit Xotes.
Mr. Reynolds said that our bond
secured currency is regulated only by the
price of bonds and not by needs for cur
rency. He contended that while assets
may be deposited, it is cumbersome and
expensive and, as shown by issues of
foreign banks and early Issues by state
banks, is unnecessary. A central bank
could not be kept out of control of poli
ticians. Uncovered credit notes, being a plan
proposed by the American Bankers' As
sociation Commission, is a currency based
upon a gold reserve subject to daily re
demptions in gold. It provides a 5 per
cent guarantee fund and a low tax which,
according to tax paid by National banks
for 36 years, is many times more than
necessary and a htgh tax would retard
redemption. A low tax, with near-by re
demption agencies bringing into play the
selfish desires of banks to make money,
would prevent expansion and redundancy.
Mr. Reynolds' arguments were received
very" favorably by the bankers present
and were heartily applauded. Mr. Rey
nolds has presented this subject before
the Idaho. Washington and Oregon con
ventions, and Is said to have accom
plished much for credit currency in the
Pacific Northwest. Mr. Reynolds, crit
icized the methods exercised by Senator
Aldrich, In not permitting the accredited
to town and adapting himself to his par
ticular environment.
There is no question in my mind but
that the country banker ooms into much
closer touch with his customers in matters
religious, educational. charitable, political
and especially commercial, than any other
member of the community. The Ideal coun
try banker, therefore, is a composite pro
duction embodying much that is best In
the teacher, preacher, doctor, lawyer, far
mer and artisan. He should, therefore, be
a man of liberal education and be able to
intelligently discuss the fundamental prin
ciples of religion with his school superin
tendent, of politics with his representative
In the leglnlature and of civic righteous
ness with his Mayor and City Council.
One of the effects of the German old

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY ALUMN'I
WILL, AID IX PROJECT.
Committee of Three Appointed to So
licit Money for $20,000
Building for Athletics.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest
Grove, Or.. June 26. (Special.) At a
meeting of the Associate Alumni yes
terday a committee was selected by
the association to aid in the erection
of a new gymnasium for the univer
sity. The committee is composed of
Chairman W. B. liasmussen, graduate
manager of student affairs at the
University of Washington: Professor
Charles E. Bradley, of the Government
experiment ptation at Corvallis, and
Samuel B. Lawrence, of the class of
'08, and will take up the study
of law at the University of Washing
ton this year. "A hundred freshmen
and a new gymnasium" is the commit
tee's slogan.
This committee will send literature
to the alumni of the Institution, which
now numbers 200 members. It is the
purpose of this committee to thorough
ly organize the alumni and ask their
earnest co-operation with the board
of trustees in this new undertaking.
Three thousand dollars have been
raised as a necleus for the project,
part of this sum was given by the
trustees and the remainder by students
and friends of the school.
The present gymnasium facilities
are entirely inadequate to meet the
growing needs of the institution. Pa
cific University employs a good coach
and it is necessary that a better build
ing be erected if the school Is to main
tain any standing in athletics. It is
estimated that $20,000 will be needed
for the new structure. Such a struc
ture would accommodate 1000 to 1500
students.
