He said Mr. Bowlby was a man with out experience and that the people of Pacific County were getting mighty tired of waiting and .waiting for roads. He asked that the association use its united effort to secure roads in the southwest where needed and that if proper attention was not paid to demands, that the en deavor then be directed towards secur ing a State Board that would accomplish results. . Mr. Little's statement was brought forth by the resolution of Eli Rockey. of Bay Center, asking the Highway Com missioner to proceed at once with the urvey of State Aid Road No. 5, running from South Bend to Chehalls. A demand is also to be made that work be begun on State Aid Road No. 42. from the North River north and south across Pa cific County. - G. M. Powell, of Aberdeen, opposed the methods which Mr. Little would en force and spoke a good word in behalf of Mr. Bowlby. He told the association that the way to get things was by mild treatment. The association, however, took a different view, and the resolution was passed. The resolution is regarded bs the opening wedge in the fight of the southwest for good roads. i i MRS.

From St. Paul Man. HILL INVASION IN DEAL More Proof Given That Great Xorth- ern Will Soon Control Pass In Cascades to Eugene and on to Coos Bay. EUGENE. Or., March 25. (Specials- Contracts were filed with the Lane County Clerk today conveying S285 acres of fine timber land aiong the Siuslaw from A. H. Hinkson to John D. Porter, of the firm of Porter Brothers, Hill men. The consideration for the tract is 108,425. The land conveyed lies along the Sius law from the mouth of the Wild Cat to tidewater and ia among the finest timber lands in Western Oregon. Great impor tance is attached to this purchase here. as the buyers have previously bought timber along the Siuslaw and McKenzle rivers, and it is considered only another Indication of J. J. H1H' Invasion of this territory. The purchases, taken together, give strength to the contention of many here that Hill wl!l soon have control of the pass in the Cascades which lodges into McKenzie Valley and the holdings of the Lane County Audit Company, which controls the proposed Eugene-Coos Bay line. Porter is reported as saying that Mr. Hill will come West soon. If the ex pectations of a good many people are realired. to which this timber deal adds another link of evidence, the Hill road up the Deschutes Valley into Central Ore gon will be extended through the Cas cades to Eugene and from Eugene on to Coos Bay. The survey from Eugene to Coos Bay will be commenced Monday by man who are supposed to represent the Hill inter ests, men who have been associated with the Hill line. In this timber deal A. H. Hinkson will make a small fortune. He began as a timber cruiser a few years ago, picking up good claims whenever he could, al ways with the plan of securing. a large tract of fine timber, which he had ac complished.

Einstein re ceived $15,000 from the Workingmen's Savings & Trust Company t" have the bank named as a city deposltoft-, but the name of the bank official who paid hlra the money is unknown. It. is fur ther declared In the presentments that the members of the grand jury believe that the books of the Workingmen's Bank hav-e been mutilated, three pages referring to this deal having been cut from the ledger. Einstein, it is also declared, kept $5000 for his services in arranging the deal. Further declarations in the present ments are that two city clerks re celved $1000 each, that $1750 was set apart for newspapermen, and that Henry M. Bolger, the saloonkeeper al ready convicted of bribery, was given $500 for his services In arranging the meeting between officials of the Ger man National Bank of lPttsburg and the couneilnaen. Stress Laid on Solvency. "The public is urged not to pass hasty judgment on any officials' of the banks mentioned and strew? ip laid on the sol vency of the insttlutionsc ' .

It Is also rec ommended that no further indictments be found against Klein or Wasson for any of the crimes to which they have con fessed.

Indictments Ordered Prawn. Upon the receipt of the presentments, Judge Cohen ordered the District Attor ney immediately to draw the indictments against the men heretofore named, and the others named In the presentment. The grand jury was then excused until Monday. The only comment the District Attor ney would make on the sensational grand jury investigation was: "We expect pleas at any moment and we may have to use 'rain checks' be cause of the rush." Today's finding of the grand jury puts a new phase on the case of Max G. Leslie, who is now at Hot Springs. Leslie was acquitted on the charge of perjury in connection with the Colum bia National Bank meeting. He had denied to a grand jury he had ever re ceived any money in the deal, and con vinced a jury when placed on trial that on the day he was alleged to have received the money he was .in New York. Leslie Once Acquitted. The present grand jury . finds he. paid $17,500 to Brand and that the bank paid Leslie $25,000 in June, 1908, but does not specify the date. Leslie, therefore, is in a position where one jury has declared it believes him when lie says that he did not get the money on June 6, 1A08, and another Jury declares he did receive it In the month of June. It is declared the evidence before the present grand jury shows that a mis take was made in the first instance as to the date, and the transaction will be the basis of a new attack when Leslie is again brought to trial. Late tonight the District Attorney's office notified the officers and direct ors, as well as the tellers, bookkeepers and clerks of the six banks to hold themselves in readiness to appear be fore the grand Jury Monday and tell all they knew concerning the passing of money or any check transactions in connection with the bank ordinance.
