in the cross-examination of this -witness
Attorney Vsrthingrton, by referring to
Tarpley's testimony at the Mays trial,
showed that at - that time Tarpley had
failed to testify to the alleped conversa
tion he recited yesterday to the effect
that Mays had told him of having men at
"Washington on the payroll in connection
with the creation of tile Blue Mountain
reserve. The witness said he had no
reason for not having testified to that
fact at the Mays trial and explained that
if he did not, it was due to the failure gf
tiie Government prosecutor to question
him on the subject. He admitted having
told the prosecution of such a conversa
tion with Maya before the trial of Mays
in 1906.
Tarpley also admitted on cross-examination
that he had been convicted on a
charge of conspiracy about five years
ago, but had not been sentenced. An
other conspiracy charge ig pending
. against Tarpley. Before" the Maya trial,
Tarpley had several conversations with
Mr. Heney and Mr. Becker, when he
agreed to tell all he knew in connection
with the cieation of the reserve if called
as a wltncxs. He also related that he
at no time had any conversation or cor
respondence with Hermann and that Her
mann was not r''i.cnt at any time Mays
had declared tnat men in Washington
were being paid by Mays and his asso
ciates for their cervices in creating the
reserve.
Conspiracy Is Shown.
The entire forenoon session of the trial
was occupied by Attorney Heney in es
tablishing the fact thai a, conspiracy was
entered into for the unlawful acquisition
of state school lands in the proposed Blue
Mountain Forest Reserve. He showed
that Franklin P. Mays, Willard N. Jones
and the late H. A. Smith were prime
movers in the scheme. These were mem
bers of the Oregon Legislature who as
sisted in the election of Senator Mitchell
in 1901, just prior to the launching of
the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve con-
spiracy.
Attorney A. F. Flegel, of Portland,
testified that he was made joint admin
istrator of the estate of H. A. Smith, who
died in 1902. and that his associate was
Willard N. Jones. When Flegel was en
gaged in drawing the will of H. A. Smith,
he said, he learned that Smith was in
terested in certain school lands in East
ern Oregon and that his partners were F.
P. Mays and Willard N. Jones. After the
death of Smith a claim of $3000 was
filed against the estate by Mays, because
of moneys advanced in promoting the
purchase of the school lands. It was al
lowed and paid, although Flegel did not
see the certificates covering the purchase
of the property. The certificates were
retained by Mays. Flegel said he hao
been informed that the total amount of
land owned jointly by Mays, Jones and
Smith was about 24.000 acres.
At this point the first reference was
made of a mysterious disappearance of
four sections of school land which were
set aside by Mays, Jones and others, for
the us of some person or persons, the
inference being that Senator Mitchell was
to get the land.
Flegel testified that the heirs of Mr.
Smith desired to sell their Interest in
the school lands, held jointly with Mays
' and Jones, and that he was called upon
for his consent. In drawing the contracts
four sections of the original purchases
were eliminated. Flegel was excused
without cross-examination.
Smith's Son Called.
B. F. Smith, now a member of the
Portland police force, and a son of H.
A. Smith, said he had talked with his
fatheV about the school lands in the Blue
Mountain Forest Reserve and at his re
(fuest had made a map of the district.
"There was a mystery about the" sale
of those lands which I never understood,"
said Smith. "Two sections of our lands
were disposed of, but not in the way I
. believed they were to be handled. I never
heard that they were held out for the
use of some other person until about
v three tfnonths ago."
After Miss S. L. Rogers, formerly a
stenographer In the office -of Carey &
Mays, had Identified the lists of the
school lands as having been made by her
at the request of Mr. Mays, she was ex
cused and Dan W. Tarpley was called
-. to the stand.
. Colonel Worthington objected to the
witness repeating conversation with Mays
wherein the name of Hermann was men
tioned, when the defendant was not pres
ent. The objection was overruled. By
this action attorneys for the defense laid
the foundation for the writ of error which
' they hope to secure should Binger Her
mann be convicted. Attorney Worthlng-
'. ton contended that the admission of the
evidence was an infringement of the con
stitutional rights of Hermann.
v Tarpley then related in detail the
methods by which the manipulations of
school lands under the lieu land law
were carried out and how it was his prac-
, tlce to come to Portland for a supply of
applications to purchase, whenever his
stock of blanks was low. He said he
and McKinley kept a supply on hand.
Tarpley testified that he would come
from Salem," hunt up "Spider" Johnson,
a former prize fighter who possessed a
, wide acquaintance in the North Knd
' slums, pay him $25 and instruct him how
many signatures to blank applications he
would require. Tarpley and McKinley
would then station themselves in Bla
ster's and Brickson's saloons on Burn
side street he said, and as the "Spider"
herded the men into the room they would
have them sign, the application blanks
and blank assignments of the claims.
. pass them $1 each and allow them to de
part. - 'Sometimes, if the man was a friend of
mine, I would give him $1.60," Baid the
witness.
OrmslJyTold of Reserve.
Tarpley testified that he first heard of
the creation of the Blue Mountain For-
est Reserve while visiting the office of
Forest Superintendent Ormsby at Salem.
He had previously arranged with Mer
rltt Ormsby for Ormsby to inform him
of any proposed reserves in this state.
Young Ormsby exhibited a letter from
' the Commissioner of the General Land
' Office instructing the Forest Superin
tendent to examine and report on the
lands which were to be included in the
Blue Mountain Reserve." Tarpley made
a map of the district, took it to the of
fice of the State Iand Board . and ascer
tained that about loO.OOO acres of the
school holdings In the district were va
cant. That night he came to Portland
and informed McKinley of the case.
They hunted up S. Y. Hyde, who ad
vanced $4,000, and Tarpley and McKin
ley returned to Salem the same night.
As soon as the land office opened next
morning they purchased 10,000 acres.
Tarpley said he and McKinley filled in
the descriptions of the land on the
blanks obtained in the . North End, and
that Tarpley acknowledged them as a
Notary Public.
Two days later Tarpley and McKinley
returned to the State Land Office and
made an additional purchase of 7,000
acres, the money being advanced by Mc
Kinley. Coming out of the land office
they encountered George Sorenson, to
whom he related their scheme. Later
Tarpley met Sorenson in the Chamber
of' Commerce building.
"Sorenson told me that Mays wanted
to see me," said the witness. "I went
to his office in company with McKinley.
Mays wanted to know how many acres
of school land we had bought. After I
told him. Mays said the lands were a
part of those he had expected to buy,
and he demanded .50 per cent of our hold
ings. I told him I didn't know why we
should do that, and Mays replied that it
would require 50 per cent to pay the
expense of creating the reserve. I re
fused to comply with his demand and
went away.
Mays Demands Half.
"Along about the time the Reserve was
created I came from Salem and met At
torney La Force, who showed me a list
of the lands which Mays wanted ' Mc
Kinley and I to give him. I went to
JonesNoffice at the request of La Force.
Jones sent me to Mays. When I got
tere he still insisted that we should give
up one-half of our school lands, and he
told me that if we did not do so he
would have the new reserve checker
boarded so as to leave us out. I mean
he would have the lines of the reserve
changed so as to leave out the school
lands we owned.
"I then offered Mays 60 cents an acre
or $S.500, which he refused with the re
mark that such a sum would not pay the
fellows in Washington. I told Mays he
was demanding lands from McKinley and
myself which were worth at least $40,000,
and that the reserve would .be rather ex
pensive if everybody put up money in
the same proportion be sought from us."
Tarpley said he had entered into a
written agreement with Merritt Ormsby
whereby the latter was to have a one
eighth interest in the school lands pur
chased by McKinley and Tarpiey. The
witness considered that the school lands
possessed a market value of from $3 to
$5.50 an acre as base lands, for exchange
under the provisions of the lieu land
law.
3500 Acres Excluded.
On cross-examination, Tarpley said he
refused to yield to the demands of Mays
and surrender to him one-half of the
school lands held by the witness and Mc
Kinley, even though Mays threatened to
see that the boundaries of the reserve
were so established that the Tarpley-Mc-Kinley
lands would be left out. As it was
Tarpley said about 3500 acres of their
lands were excluded from the reserve as
it Anally was created.
In his testimony, McKinley, who fol
lowed Tarpley, corroborated the state
ments of Tarpley as to the alleged con
versation with Mays, In which Mays had
said there were "fellows" at Washing
ton who had to be paid if the reserve
were created. McKinley, on the suggestion
of Sorenson, called on Mays early in 1902
and Mays demanded that McKinley and
Tarpley convey to Mays and his asso
ciates one-half of the total acreage they
had acquired. McKinley refused to com
ply with this demand, telling- Mays he
would see him again. At a subsequent
interview, at which only McKinley and
Mays were present, McKinley said he of
fered to pay Mays 60 cents for each acre
held by him and Tarpley. It was then
that Mays remarked that the $S00O which
would come from that arrangement would
not be sufficient to pay the "fellows we
have at Washington." Hyde, in the first
place, advanced the necessary funds,
about $4000, with which McKinley and
Tarpley made the purchase of the school
lands, amounting to 17,600 acres. The
deal proposed that Merritt Ormsby, who
gave the information which enabled Mc
Kinley and Tarpley to get in on the
school lands within the reserve, was to
receive" an undivided one-eighth interest.
McKinley and Tarpley were to have a
three-eighths interest, while the other
one-half was to go to Hyde Xor financing
the project. Ormsby later received $1000
for his interest in the lands.
Xotary Gets $5 Each.
J. L. Wells, an ex-soldier and notary
public residing on the Bast Side, followed
McKinley and told of assisting Jones to
secure the applications by which he ob
tained title to about 30.000 acres of school
lands in different sections of the state,
some of which was located in. the Blue
Mountains, as early as in 1900. Wells said
he received $5 for each of these applica
tions and . paid the applicant from $2 to
$5 for allowing his name to be used.
Jones furnished the money with which to
make the first payment of 25 cents an
acre on the lands sought to be purchased
and when the certificates were received
from the State Land Board, Wells im
mediately turned them over to Jones.
The purpose if this testimony was to
show that Jones and Mays had been ac
quiring school lands for a number of
years and before the transactions took
place on which the Blue Mountain Forest
Reserve indictment was based, had ac
quired title to about 30,000 acres of these
lands.
On cross-examination the witness said
that probably one-third of the applica
tions he secured were blank when signed
by the applicant, Jones later writing in
the description of the land covered in
the application. In answer to a question
by Mr. Worthington if he did not know
that in acknowledging such applications
before they were properly filled out he
was doing a wrongful act, the witness re
plied that at the time he thought nothing
of it. "It was a common practice in those
days," explained Mr. Wells, "and I guess
I simply fell into the condition." It was
admitted by Wells that lie was not per
sonally acquainted with the large major
ity of the applicants whose signatures he
secured. In every case the applicant was
required to sign a relinquishment at the
same time he signed the application, al
though the date on the relinquishment
was always made several days' subse
qutnt to that on the original application.
His Commission Renewed.
"Are you stilt a notary public?" in
quired Mr. Worthington.
"Yes, sir,'' answered the witness.
"Has your, commission been renewed
since you testified in the Mays trial in
substance as you have testified here, to
day?" "Yes, sir."
"Have you never been called to ac
count by anybody for the part you played
in the transactions of which you have
testified?"
"No, sir."
"Out here in Oregon they put them on
the roll of honor for that sort of thing,"
interjected Mr. Heney. "You must come
from Washington."
"Well, I am glad I am not on the "roll
of honor,' anyway," replied counsel for
the defendant.
Just before court adjourned for the day,
George G. Brown, clerk of the State Land
Board, was called. His examination will
be taken up at the opening of court this
morning. Mr. Brown will identify the
applications that were filed by Mays and
Jones through Sorenson and Wells and
those of McKinley and Tarpley by which
certificates of title were issued for several
thousand acres of school lands within the
proposed. Blue Mountain Forest Reserve.

Y. Okada.
Ohanna Kim Far, the wife of Lee Foo,
a prosperous Chinese merchant, 81 North
Fourth street, is now being sought by
the police.
The disappearance of the couple, the
ctespalr of the deserted husband over the
loss of his money and his wife, have
created the biggest sensation in Celestial
circles 'which has stirred Chinatown
since the new colony in the North End
was established.
Okada was employed at a little barber
shop conducted by a fellow countryman
near Front and Main streets. He dressed
In the latest fashion, and was considered
one of the dudes of the Asiatic colonies
of the city. He first formed the ac
quaintance of Lee Foo and his wife about
a year ago, at which time lie began
buying goods at the store of the Chinese.
Acquaintance Grows to Friendship.
The acquaintance of the merchant and
the barber finally ripened into a warm
friendship and Okada was taken into the
inner family circle and. made acquainted
with Ohana, who was half Chinese and
half Japanese.
The story of the desertion and robbery
told by' Lee Foo last night, through an
Interpreter, is as follows:
"I never would have suspected my wife.
She was so quiet. About noon on Monday
she told me that she was going to visit
my cousin Tong Wing.' at Third and Main
streets. As I afterwards found out, she
went to the 'safe deposit vaults in the
Chamber of Commerce building at five
minutes after 1 o'clock and took every
thing out. I had worked hard all my life
to save this money. Part of it had been
left to me by my father.
"Shortly after this I heard from her
over the telephone. She was at my
cousin's and said' that she wanted my
little son to be sent up to her after he
had returned from school.
"I learned from my cousin afterwards
that she went up there to get three
diamond rings which belonged to me,
but which she had loaned to his' daugh
ters. She left there in the afternoon and
was not afterwards seen in this city.
She sometimes visited my cousin's until
10 or 11 o'clock at night and I did not
think anything of her absence until it
reached midnight and then I telephoned
all over the city to our friends and could
find no trace of her. My suspicions were
aroused immediately, so I rushed to Oka
da's lodgings, which are over Aoki's res
taurant at Second and Everett street.
His bed had not been occupied and all
night he remained away. I reported the
matter to the police.
Loss Is $10,000.
"I told the police my loss was $10,000.
It will be more than that. Fully half Was
in cash. Most of the money was in gold
pieces and a small part of it in bills, the
largest of which were $20. The jewelry
was in solid gold and diamonds. Both
my wife and I had always been fond of
diamonds. I don't mind the loss- of the
money so much as I do my wife's de
sertion of her little boy. We have one
son. Lee Fong."6 years old. I can make
more money but I am at a loss to prop
erly rear my child now without a wife."
A reward of $200 each has been offered
for the runaways. The wife is 30 years
old. five feet five inches tall, weighs 116
pounds. It is believed that before leav
ing the city she changed from Oriental
to. American dress. A. picture of her in
Chinese garb was. given the police yes
terday. . .
Okada, whose picture shows him in
athletic pose, is several years the junior
of his olive-tinted affinity. He formerly
worked in a barber shop at the corner of
Second and Ash streets but left this and
went to the Main street shop about three
months ago. t
A Japanese emissary from Lee Foo was
last night sent to Seattle, where it is
thought the runaway couple might have
sought refuge. The Japanese has friends
in Seattle and is known to have been
in correspondence with them recently.
- Wire Can Be Easily Identified.
Lee says his wife may be easily identi
fied from the fact that she has a scar on
the top of her head as large as a silver
dollar on which no hair grows. She re
ceived this several years ago when a
box of Chinese merchandise fell from
the shelf of their store and cut a great
gash in her scalp.
Okada, who charmed the wife of the
Chinese away from her domicile, it is
said in Chinatown, was penniless. , He
lived expensively and was regarded as a
popular man with the women of his race.
That this elopement had been under
consideration a number of weeks was
made known by letters which bad been
exchanged between the two, which were
found in the search of Okada's room
yesterday.

Man Inhabits every part of the globe
where external influences can be suc
cessfully resisted. Food is an Impor
tant element in effecting this, and
nature has provided for it accordingly.
The colder the climate the more animal
food and oily substances are required;
the warmer a. preponderance of vege
tables and fruits Is necessary in one's
diet.
The whale - blubber of the fur - clad
Eskimo, and the rice of the nude
African, are as much necessities of lo
cality, as matters of choice. The same
indications exist in civilization. Thus. J
the diet in America and England is
essentially different from that in Italy,
Spain arid Egypt.
The effects of universal communica
tion are nowhere more obvious than on
the luxurious table. To furnish the re
fined cuisine, all climates, both sea and
land, are laid under contribution,. and
the stomach is expected to' digest, with
out assistance everything that is put
into it. Combining: together such varied
products, and the neglect of the rela
tion between climate and foods, are
very active causes of dyspepsia.
The heavy substantial dishes of this
climate accord badly with the ther
mometer at ninety degrees; and an. in
flexibility in regulating the kind and
quantity of food ts a cause of a large
proportion of the ill health and stomach
troubles among the English and Ameri
cans. Thousands of people who have suf
fered from stomach troubles, and a gen
eral ill-health resulting- therefrom, be
cause of a badly - regulated diet, and
the ingesting of an excessive amount
of food at the table, have obtained
speedy and permanent relief by means
of a simple expedient that of using
one or two of STUART'S DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS after each meal, or when
ever any of the well-known symptoms
of Indigestion are present.
These powerful digestive tablets con
tain every element that exists in the
stomach to digest the food, and in the
exact proportion as found therein. They
take ttfe place of the natural digestive
juices when the latter are deficient in
quality or quantity, and do their work
for them, removing the indigestion
by digesting the food, and resting,
strengthening and purifying the diges
tive tract.
There is no other digestive .remedy
on the market which has been found
equal to Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
none which is so rapidly and power
fully efficient, or which removes dis
comfort, banishes stomach-pain, and re
lieves and cures all of the symptoms of
dyspepsia and indigestion in so thor
ough and pleasant a manner as these
marvelous little tablets, a single grain
of which is capable of digesting 3000
grains of any and every kind of food.
All persons who are annoyed with
stomach troubles of any kind should
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
will remove such troubles in a -very
short time. Purchase a box from your

BENEFIT PLANS GROWING
Scholarship Loan Fund Interests
Clubs All Over State.
Plans are going on for the scholarship
loan fund benefit at the Masonic Temple,
January 26. Reports are coming in from
outside clubs. The Forest Grove Club has
secured the services of Frederick Thomp
son, the blind reader and singer, whose
reputation is national, and from this en
tertainment it expects to reap a financial
harvest. Portland, even with its nine
federated working clubs, must keep busy
to preserve its proper place, when these
energetic outside clubs become interested.
The Portland entertainment will be held
in the Masonic Temple on January 26. The
main auditorium and parlors adjoining
will be used for a mammoth card, party.
Mrs. S. M. Blumauer is chairman of the
table reservations and it behooves any
who may contemplate going not to be too
late in telephoning to her. Main 1039. At
the same time that the card party is in
session, there will be a literary and
musical programme for those not caring
for cards.
The committee on programme is com
posed of Mrs. George Pettinger. Mrs. Mor

in some persons than In others.
"I was never a coffee drinker." writes
an 111. 'woman, "but a tea drinker. I
was very nervous, had frequent spells
of sick headache and heart trouble, and
was subject at times, to severe attacks
of bilious colic.
"No end of sleepless nights would
have spells at night when my right side
would get numb and tingle like a thou
sand needles were pricking- my flesh.
At times I could hardly put my tongue
out of my mouth and my right eye and
ear were affected.
"The doctors told me I was liable to
become paralyzed at any time, so I was
in constant dread. I took medicine of
various doctors and no end of patent
medicine all to no good.
"The doctors told me to quit using
tea, but I thought I could not live with
out it that it was my only stay, I had
been a tea drinker for twenty-five
years; was under the doctor's care for
fifteen.
"About six months ago, I finally quit
tea and commenced to drink Postum.
"I have never had one spell of sick
headache since and only one light at
tack of bilious colic. Have quit having
those- numb spells at night, sleep well
and my heart is getting stronger all the
time."

IRRIGATED FRUIT
AND
ALFALFA LANDS
Of the Columbia River, at
ECHO,
OREGON
Umatilla County.
This beautiful country, with
its rich soils, being a heavy
sandy loam, having great depth,
more so than the average, with
natural and perfect drainage, is
now ready for settlement.
The 40 miles of canals, which
water 20,000 acres, is entirely
completed, having a carrying
capacity of over five feet deep
for each acre, each year. This
deep lava ash soil possesses phe
nomenal growing powers, and it
holds moisture with certainty.
Here it is no experiment, as
all the farmers are making big
money for their investment.
This country grows all kinds of
fruit incident to a temperate
climate. It is the best alfalfa
country of the Northwest. Here
you can find more reasons why
you should select your future
home than from any other place.
It has the climate, soil, water,
markets, schools, churches,
transportation and other advan
tages. No other country sur-"
passes it. Prices for land are
low, and liberal, -for five and
ten-acre tracts up. It i is sur
veyed, being platted. I have
some fine unpatented land in
blocks of 40 acres and up for
cash. Big snaps for the man
who buys 40 acres for cash, and
at a way down low figure. There
is a reason why land can be sold
low in five and ten-acre tracts,
with liberal terms. This is a
live country, as hundreds of
people will be brought in here
this Spring. Space does not per
mit to tell all here. You can
find out by applying for a book

(Xo Offense Intended.)
To the dog, it's the tick on the dog's
back. Our talks on teeth are intended
to edify the public regarding the high
est of high-class dentistry, and to con
demn the bargain counter article. We
have no intention of entering into a con
troversy with the cheap skate who seeks
to gain a little publicity for himself at
our expense. The Rex Dental Co. have
nine offices in the West. In each city
we have the same standing that we have
established for ourselves here the rep
utation of doing the best, most beauti
ful, artistic and durable work that is
possible in dentistry. We are the orig
inators and owners of the Alveolar
method, have same patented both in the
United StaTes and each state in which
we do business, by patents, copyright
and trademark. We have treated hun
dreds of people in this city, many of
them are among the best-known people
here. We unhesitatingly refer to them,
feeling sure that each and every one,
when asked, will say that the Alveolar
wbrk we did for them is satisfactory in
every way, and that it far exceeded
their expectations, in looks, comfort and
service. We also have samples, counter
parts or original cases, in our offices,
which speak for themselves. What a
man sees he knows. We can also show
you work in the mouth or being put in.
As at all times we have patients in our
offices having this work done.
In condemning the bargain-counter
dentists' work we do not mean that it
is impossible to get a good Job done by
such, but if you do it's an accident.
We know some few dental parlor den
tists who do good work and get a fair
price for it. Yet it stands to reason
that if gold and skill are the most ex
pensive of the commodities, if you get
both, it costs more than ordinary' work.
A pig Is sure to squeal If you stick him,
and the fellow whom th'e shoe pinches
it pretty apt to be a pig. Remember,
please, that while our specialty is the
great ALVEOLAR method of replacing
missing teeth without resorting to
those unsanitary makeshifts, the anti
quated bridgework and partial plates,
and the curing of pyorrhea (loose
teeth), we are experts in every branch
of dentistry, from the simple filling
up, and what we do you may rest
assured will be the very highest of
high-class. If you cannot call, send for
our booklet on Alveolar dentistry; it is
free.
