HERMANN CASE
Neuhausen Declares Ex-Congressman
Will Be Tried Not
Later Than .November.
HENEY WILL THEN RETURN
Federal Officials Deny Report That
California Prosecutor Expects
to Take Up Personally
Other Land Cases.
It is denied persistently by Federal au
thorities here that Blnger Hermann, ex
Congressman from this state, will not be
tried for his alleged complicity in the
Oregon land-frauds. In the absence of
Francis J. Heney, who returned the In
dictment against Hermann, and Tracy C.
Becker, special assistant to the Attorney
General, who ha.s been assigned to prose
cute the p?nding land-fraud cases,
Thomas B; Xeuhausen, special Inspector
ot the Interior Department, announced
yesterday tht-t the Hermann trial would
be taken up either during the month of
Octoocr or not later than Novembe.
Counsel Asks Delay.
Mr. Xeuhausen explained that Mr.
Heney had plunned to try the case
against Mr. Hermann in September and
baid that the postponement of the case
until the following month, or perhaps
later, was made only at the request of
A. 9. AVorthington. of counsel for Mr.
Hermann, who advised the Government
authorities that he would not be ready to
proceed with the trial in September.
John M. Gearin, ex-United States Sena
tor, of this city, will be chief counsel for
Hermann when the trial is held. Asso
ciated with him will be Mr. Worthington
and H. Prescott Gatley, the latter being
a son-in-law of the accused ex-Congressman.
It is declared positively that
Mr. Heney will teturn to this state and
prosecute Mr. Hermann personally.
Since the acquittal of James Henry
Booth the first of the "Heney cases" in
which the Government has been defeated
it lias been rumored that Mr. Heney
might return to this state and conduct
the prosecution of all of the untried
land-fraud cases. If Mr. Heney has any
such Intentions, however, he has not con
tifkdi tliern to the Federal officials here,
wflo profess to have no knowledge of
such a programme. The supposition that
Mr. Heney might take a hand in these
eases arose partly from the fact that
Tracy C. Becker, who conducted the pros
ecution of the Booth case, is now in San
Francisco conferring with Heney.
Becker to Return Sunday.
Mr. Becker is known to have gone to
California to discuss these prosecutions
and is expected to return to Portland
next Sunday. Following the return of
Mr. Becker, it is expected the Govern
ment will be prepared to make a definite
announcement of its plans regarding the
eases other than the Hermann and Will
iamson trials which are being held await
ing the convenience of Mr. Heney to re
turn and try thorn.
It is argued that Mr. Heney is de
cidedly Interested in the further trial of
the Oregon land-fraud cases and more
particularly in securing convictions. Fail
i re to secure convictions in the pending
cases, it is urged, would have an influ
ence not helpful to the prosecutor's work
In California. It Is insisted that it is
up to Mr. Heney to secure convictions in
a large majority of the indictments he
returned in this state, whether he or
somebody else conducts the prosecution
of these trials, otherwise the way will
be paved for enemies to charge that the
Government was not possessed of the
necessary evidence of wrongdoing on
which to base criminal charges.
In such event a like accusation prob
tibly would be brought against Mr. He
ney In connection with his wholesale in
dictment of San Franciscans on charges
of municipal graft. But, so far as can be
learned here, it is the intention of Mr.
Heney to return only to try th Hermann
and Williamson cases.
Bail Money Is Forfeited.
Anderson M. Cannon. District Clerk of
the United States Court, yesterday turned
over to the United States Treasury $2500
forfeited bail money. Of that amount
$1500 represented the bail deposited by J.
Williams, alias J. Rawlance, arrested for
opium smuggling. Williams is suspected
of being an old offtvuler but vigorous ef
forts on the part of the Government au
thorities following his preliminary ar
raignment failed to locate him, conse
quently his cash bail reverted to the
United States. The other $1000 consisted
of JiISO cash ball each for four Chinese
who wore being held pending appeal on
deportation proceedings. When it came
time to enforce the decree of the appel
lant court, the quartet of Chinese had
disappeared and could not be apprehend
ed. They were: Gin Heo. IjOw Chung,
Yeun Ye Sum and Ngun Lain May.

Q. MALARIA
Malaria is due to impurities in the blood which destroy the rich,
healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid.
The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is
unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system
suffers ia consequence. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills
and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition.
Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the
blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic
and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for
this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time
an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation,
and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the
health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per
manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which
produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every
part of the system. Book with information about Malaria and any medical
advice furnished free to all who write.

Mayor and the Council
Bury the Hatchet.
Atmosphere of Harmony Prevail
No Fights Have Occurred for a
Long Time and City Benefits.
A. TOR LANE and the City Council
I I seem to have burled the hatchet,
and because of the peaceful relations
that have for several weeks existed be
tween them, there has of late been
much gossip. Just how the peace ne
gotiations were brought about, and
why, are unknown, but it Is a notable
fact that there have been no battles of
consequence between His Honor and
the legislative body for a long time.
Time was when never a Council
meeting passed without a fight of
greater or less proportions between the
Mayor and his political friends in the
Council and the "solid ten," compris
ing the Mayor's political foes. Now,
however, things are different. The lion
and the lamb appear to have lain down
together, so to speak, and the proceed
ings of the Council meetings are as
peaceful as a Sunday-school picnic.
In the olden times, also. Mayor Lane
would pounce upon the Council with
two or three powerful veto messages,
several special letters and frequently
would he turn the fqree of his oratory
upon the members during the proceed
ings of the body. Not so now, how
ever. All his veto messages, as now
framed, are "tame," and contain noth
ing at which anyone could well take
offense, as was the case in former
days, and invariably end with the diplo
matic words, "I therefore return this
ordinance to you for your further con
sideration." Furthermore, Mayor Lane, has not
"ground out" any messages to the pub
lic for two months, whereas he for
merly put out several each week.
These used to make the Councilmen
froth at the mouth, figuratively, speak
ing, although they smiled and said it
didn't matter that the people under
stood the game, anyway, and would
act accordingly.
The Council, too, is as gentle as can
be these days. It went so far at its
last session as to order the purchase of
$30,000 worth of fire hydrants at special
request of the Mayor, to be paid for out
of the general fund, instead of from
the water fund. The Council said the
water fund must pay for installation,
however. The Mayor said, "We'll do
it," so no trouble occurred over that
score.

Rogue River points.
SOIL
A rich sandy loam, a true sed
imentary deposit, as rich as can
be found in the state, with a
depth of from twelve to twenty
feet and practically inexhaust
ible. Eminent geologists and
orchardists pronounce this soil
equal to Hood River and Rogue
River land and superior to
much of it and adapted not
only to orchards, but also to the
growing of small fruits, berries,
cantaloupes, melons, vegetables
of every kind, and do it all
without irrigation, without off
years, and without an overload
ed market, because the climate
and location make this the ear
liest fruitgrowing section of the
Northwest.
CLIMATE, Sc

Winter and Summer,- where all
the advantages of. California
and Oregon are combined in a
happy balance. Four distinet
seasons. Rainfall of 35 inches;
where the heat of the Summer
sun is always tempered by a
cool western breeze, and where
the scenery is unsurpassed by
any spot in this country or ail
