DAVID ECCLES IS
HERETO GIVE BOND
Indicted Official of Oregon
Lumber Company Makes
Voluntary Trip.
ARREST IS NOT YET MADE
Arriving From Salt Lake, Mr. Ec
cles Calls to See Attorney, Then
Kotlfies United States Mar
shal That He, Is in City.
David Eccles, the only official ot the
Oregon Lumber Company named In the
secret Indictment returned by the Fed
ral' grand jury on Thursday of last
week, yesterday made good the prom
ise of Grant Oeddes, of Baker City,
that he would voluntarily appear In
Portland and give bond to answer the
charges.
Mr. Eccles arrived about 3 o'clock: on
a late train over the Oregon Railway
t& Navigation Company lines. He was
met at the Central Station by an auto
mobile in charge of his brother, "Will
Jam H. Eccles, of Hood River, and
Orant Geddes, and whirled away to the
office of his attorney, Zera Snow, at
tie corner of Second and Stark Streets.
After a short conference with the
lawyer, the Salt Lake millionaire, lum
berman and sugar king called the of
fice of United States Marshal Reed over
the telephone and advised that official
of his presence. Mr. Eccles remained
In the offices of the attorney until after
o'clock, when he went to the Oregon
Hotel, where he Joined the family of
ihls brother.
- Eocles Delays Statement.
"When importuned for a statement as
to his position concerning the charge
that he had become a member of a
conspiracy to defraud the United
States of an immense quantity of tim
ber land In Baker County, through the
use of entrymen who previously con
tracted to sell the land and for whose
claims the Oregon Lumber Company
and the Sumpter Valley Railroad Com
pany are alleged to have furnished the
money, Mr. Eccles said: '
"I will not be in a position to make
any statement for the benefit of the
public until I have had time to go over
the entire situation with Mr. Snow. He
has not received a copy of the indict
ment as yet, and we are in the dark
as to the exact terms of the charges
against me.
"I will appear tomorrow for the pur
pose of giving bond in whatever sum
the court may deem fit to fix. but at
this time no arrangements have been
made among my friends who may wish
to do me that service.
"I received notice of the indictment
at my home in Ogden, Utah, last
Thursday night, and at once wired Mr.
Snow that I would leave on Saturday
night for Portland, arriving here Mon
day morning. The programme was car
ried out, with the exception of the late
arrival of the train, for which I am
not responsible. I stopped one day in
Baker City to look after business in
terests'. Indicted Man Not Under Arrest'.
"I shall stay here such time as may
le necessary to get our side of - the
controversy in motion, but am unable to
Bay what Mr. Snow may deem advis
able. I have a good many interests,
and, of cfourse, intrust .them to a good
many men. I don't know what some
of them may have done. All of the
men indicted have been or are em
ployes of the Oregon Lumber Company.
Some of them may own stock in the
company. I am sure Mr. Geddes does."
At a later hour the Eccles family
joined friends in the city at a dinner
party.
F. H. Atkinson, F. M. Shurtleff and
"William Green,. Jointly indicted, with
Mr. Eccles, furnished bond yesterday
e.t Baker City.
David Eccles has never been placed
under arrest, largely because of the
assurance given by his Baker City
manager. Grant Geddes. When the in
dictment was- filed by the grand Jury,
Marshal Reed telephoned to Mr. Geddes
e.t the Imperial Hotel. Gedderf imme
diately called at the Federal Building
-na furnished bona.
"While in the office of the United
.ntates Marshal the Baker City man
was informed that David Eccles would
be arrested at his Utah home, and Mr.
Geddes at once entered a protest
e.galnst bringing the distinguished cltl
ren of Utah to Portland under arrest.
;He offered a bond for his appearance
i-when wanted, which was refused. Then
en arrangement was perfected whereby
'i&r. Eccles should be notified to come
,o the coast.
Grand Jury Still In Session.
The United States grand Jury was
In session yesterday, but devoted most
of the day to the consideration of vio
lations of the postal laws. It Is not
probable that Mr. Eccles will appear
as a witness.
Robert Service, the Baker City mill-
man, who has been designated as the
man who brought about the indict
ment, is still at the Hotel Scott. Mr.
Service denies the acts attributed to
him. He said:
"The credit, if any. for the Inquiry
Into the operations of the timber and
etone act in Eastern Oregon belongs to
Inspector Good and his assistants.
have never harbored a grudge against
any of the men indicted, never gathered
evidence against them or devoted my
finances to developing a case against
the Oregon Lumber Company or the
Sumpter "Valley Railroad company.
"In 1900 I wrote a letter to the Sec
retary of the Interior, to which little
attention was paid, and at no time
since have I been concerned in the
matter more than any good citizen
should be after being called -upon by
the Government's agents, in no case
did I permit personalities to enter into
this matter, being prompted solely in
what I have done by business reasons
which the men indicted unaerstana.

of a Particular Ailment
There is no "cure-air amAng the

vised for a certain human ailment or a
class of ailments closely allied. For
Instance, Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are

lency and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Blsmuth-Subnltrate, Pepsin and Car
minatives. They are prepared by spe
cial processes which perfect and en
hance the great remedial value of these
well-known medicinal agents. This
remedy sells for 25 cents, 60 cents, and
$1.00 per package. Every one suffer

Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, Inasmuch as
they cost nothing if they do not satisfy.
Remember, the Owl Drug Co., Inc.,

LLOYD BORN IS MISSING
LEAVES . HOME SUNDAY, HAS
NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE.
Boy Is 12 ' Years Old and Parents
Fear Accident- Had Desire to
"Work After School Hours.
Lloyd, son. of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.
Born, of 315 Twelfth street, will be
13 years old today, but his parents are
sorrowful because he is not home to
receive' the little birthday remem
brances which have been an unfailing
Incident of the 12 preceding anniversaries.
Kissing hla mother goodbye shortly
before noon Sunday, Lloyd left ' his
Twelfth-street home to attend Sunday
school. He did not return that day
and a thorough search by . his parents
has failed to reward them with the
slightest trace of their boy. Mr. and
Mrs. Born are not inclined to think
that the lad deliberately ran away from
home, but fear he has met with an
accident.
"There is only one circumstance
which makes me think Lloyd may have
run away from home," said Mrs. Born
yesterday. "For some time he has been
ambitious to find work after school
hours. Last Friday he did not attend
the public school but spent the day
looking for a place to work. When
he returned home I told him his teach
er had notified me of his truancy that
day. He asked me to intercede with
the teacher that he might escape the
punishment which awaited him. I told
him I could not do .so and at the
same time sought to convince him that
he should attend school regularly and
after he got his ' education, he could
then seek employment.
"It Is barely possible that fear of
punishment at the school may have

could not have been any other rea
son, for we did everything io make
things pleasant for him at home."
When he left' home Sunday the lad
wore a dark blue serge suit, with
Short trousers, black shoes and stock

band and a necktie with blue and white
stripes each about one-quarter of an
Inch wide. He has very dark brown
eyes with hair to match.

The appropriation of funds for salaries

June. 30, 1910. having been exhausted, the
Secretary of the Interior has ordered that
the services -of 15 employes of the field
service of the General Land Office, for
the Portland district .be dispensed with
under furloughs. The men on whom the
ax has fallen are:
Special Agents G. F Mead, F. S. Reld,
Robert MoGulre, W. M. Allen, C. F. For-
aker and J. P. Lavm.-
Practical Miners Samuel Powell, Jr..
W. R. Davey and G. A. Parks. Mr. Parks
is from Seattle.
Timber Cruisers H. P. Kennedy of Seat
tle; G. A. Lovegren and R. A. Hunt.
Stenographers August Amend and A.

Land Law Clerk T. E. J. Duffy.
It is not believed that the new appro
priation for field work will be available
before July 1. In the meantime there will
be no way of retaining the men In reach
of the Portland headquarters.

known operator on the Chicago Board
of Trade and has already made arrange
ments to pay a visit to his home city
Later he will engage in mining at some

W. R. Davey is from Colorado, to
which place he will return ;at once. J. P,
Lavln, special agent, has secured a trans
fer to Ralston, N. M., and will leave for
that point as soon as his orders arrive.
C. F. Foraker is a relative ofv ex-Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, and expects to remain
on the Coast and engage in other busi
ness. B. J. Duffy, special agent, has
made arrangements to open a law office
in Crook County and will be appointed a
deputy prosecuting attorney for that dis
trict. Fred A. Reid has Joined E. O.
Tooker In a land and timber business
with offices in this city. Robert A. Mc-
Guire will join the law Arm -of Colvig &

All of the special agents who 'were
temporarily deprived of their positions
nave rjeen admitted to practice law in
some of the states of the Union and
those who have not already secured berths
in law omces will seek such employment.
The clerks will probably await an oppor
tunity to return to the service. The en
forced furlough Is not considered to be
in any manner discreditable.

The following advertisement was taken from the Musical Courier Extra, of February 26, 1910, being a
reproduced ad. of The Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the largest piano dealers in the
United States:
COPY OF AO.
"The Steinway Pianola Piano is sold in Cincinnati by The Rudolph "Wurlitzer Co. Also the Steinway
Welte Player Piano, which is the Steinway Piano with the Artistic Welte Autograph Player built into
its case a superb instrument, which commands an even higher price than the Steinway Pianola Piano.

MELVILLE CLARK
APOLLO FLAYER-PIANO
as we know the Apollo to be the best player piano the world has ever seen. We have player pianos of
nearly all other makes, including Weber, Steck, and Stuyvesant Pianola Pianos, that were taken in trade
by us toward Apollos after only slight use. These are now on sale at greatly reduced prices.
"Wurlitzer's is the only store in Cincinnati (or any other city) where you can see AT YT, the leading
makes of player pianos.
' Here you can make a side-by-side comparison
of a dozen makes and see for yourself the superiority
of the APOLLO above all other makes."
WE TOLD YOU SO.
NOW PLEASE REMEMBER
For eight years the APOLLO was the only player with a range of 88 notes, or the -entire keyboard of
piano; others played only 65 and fought the APOLLO complete-keyboard idea.
Within the past year, when the success of the APOLLO 88-note player promised to crowd the 65-note
instrument from the market, other manufacturers have come out with S8-note players.
The fact that during these eight years the. APOLLO Player Piano was the only 88-note instrument on
the market has won for it a wide patronage and unquestioned popularity.
As a result, there are more 88-note APOLLO Player Pianos in use today than the combined product
of all other 88-note player factories
Then again, the APOLLO is the only player piano made that can play the 65-note and the wide and
narrow standard 88-note music rolls, thus giving access to larger number of musical selections than all
other players on the market. '
DON'T YOU THINK
it worth investigating! We do, and we are willing to abide by your decision, after seeing them all.
Would be pleased to have you call at any time and see and hear it.
