I'F.ND, Or., April 1. (Special.) In
connection with the reent trip made
tbrouirn the csehutes Valley by emis
saries ef the Creat Nortnerns pub-
ielt y depn rt ment an,i t lie fac t t hat
ii!ls are now bftin.i; introduced in Con
;ros3 to open to settlement tUo unap
propriated lands In the Klamath and
Warm Spfings Indian Reservations, a
report that recently appeared in the
Hend Bulletin lias attracted consider
able local interest.
This article deals with the great
chance for homeseekers in the Warm
Sprinp-s Reservation, dwelling- upon the
probability- of its opening to settlement
because of the great demand for land
due to the rush of - settlers into the
country along- with the railroads.
Seven hundred and seventy Indians,
says the report, now hold some 640,000
acres to the west of the Deschutes,
midway between Bend and the Columbia-
Of this amount 360,000 acres are
in timber, with an average acreage
stand of 10,000 feet. Of the 75,000
acres that are tillable, over 25,000 are
subject to irrigation from the many
small streams that flow eastward from
the mountains to the Deschutas. Prob
ably 300 acres from the available total
are now wnder cultivation; 20,000 sheep
are ranging where it is said 50,000
could graze; and 4000 cattle occupy
ranges capable of supporting 15,000
head.
Of the total acreage, 115,000 have
been allotted, leaving 525,108 acres sub
ject to cultivation, irrigation or dry
farming methods.
SWEENEY WILL BUILD
LAST OBSTACLE TO HOTEL
PHOJECT REMOVED.
Buiidiiiir Projected to t Cost ' More
Than $750,000 Oetails to Be
Completed Vpon His Return.
Confirmation of the report of nego
tiations for the construction of a ho
tel building on Upper Morrison street
on what is known as the old Dekum
homestead .was given yesterday by
Charles Sweeny, owner of the property,
who, with Mrs. Sweeny and a party
of New York capitalists, is visiting
Portland. Mr. Sweeny said yesterday
that his plan for a hotel, representing
an outlay of $750,000, was progressing
and might be settled before the end of
April.
, "I am returning at once with Mrs.
Sweeny to New York City," said Mr.
Sweeny yesterday. "My youngest
daughter is to be married there on
April 12 ,and then after the young peo
ple have started on their honeymoon
trip T shall return to Portland. That
will be about the latter part of April.
Then, it is possible, the details of the
lease will be arranged.
"The plan started with the Idea of
leasing this property to a syndicate..
Since then it has progressed well and
although it cannot surely he said that
the details will be completed, it is a
fact that final settlement of the lease
seems assured. Senator John Gearin
has been handling the details for me
here."
The big hotel planned by Mr. Sweeny
has for its location the block bounded
by Yamhill, Morrison, Fourteenth and
Thirteenth streets. Mr. Sweeny would
have improved the property for hotel
purposes several year3 ago had it not
been for the proximity of the high
school and the state law making it il
legal to build a hotel within 400 feet
of a school If liquor were sold In the
hotel.
Immediately upon the definite de
cision that the high school was to be
removed to a new location, negotia
tions began for the improvement. H. C.
Bowers, manager of the Portland Ho
tel, was interested "because it Is for
him that the hotel will be built. He
enlisted the support of T. B. Wilcox
and J. C. Ains worth, who agreed to
take over the Sweeny lease. Mr.
Sweeny is to build the hotel. The
ground valuation of the half block
fronting on Morrison street, the pro
posed site of the hotel, is placed at
approximately $250,000. It is planned
that the hotel shall cost between $750,
000 and $1,000,000.
Philip Gevurtz negotiated for the
lease of the half block fronting on
Yamhill street early in the year, and
the papers were 'prepared and sent to
Mr. Sweeny for signature.
Mr. Sweeny said last night that this
deal had fallen through. Mr. Gevurtz
had planned building an apartment ho

Water Board Receives Bids for Many
Small Jobs.
There will he great activity In the in
stallation of water mains throughout the
city, judging from the large number of
resolutions of intention to lay pipes,
adopted by the Water Board yesterday
afternoon. A dozen bids for small jobs
were opened, indicating the willingness
of contractors to bid upon this kind of
work sine the decision of the Supreme
Court holding the assessment of abutting
property to lie. valid.'
Chief Khgineer Clarke submitted a
largo number of resolutions carrying the
Installation of water mains throughout
the. city, which were adopted by the
lioard, after careful scrutiny by Mayor
Simon and Messrs. Ainsworth and Mac
kay. They desired to make certain that
there are no mains laid where the prop
erty is unable to pay the assessment, in
order to protect the city from loss.
As to whether the bids for small .mains,
submitted yesterday, were under the
estimates of the engineer, the Board was
unuble to determine, as the estimate
were not at hand; but the bids were all
mnll, running from a few hundred dol
lars to $2XX on the various jobs to be
done. They were referred to ' the en
gineer for tabulation, and will be acted
upon at the next meeting, to be held
froon.
Petitions are coming In from all over
the city for mains, now that it is generally
understood that the only way to get
water is to pay for the installation of
the pipes under the present law. As this
has been held valid by the Supreme
Court, it Is believed that there will be
very little trouble In future over get
ting reasonable bids and In collecting the
assessments.
Kcffolutions of intention to lav a sys
tem of mains in Yukon and other streets,
which have been slumbering In the City
Auditor's office pending a decision of
tho present law, were rejuvenated yes
terday by the Board, at the request of
the Lacld estate, which controls the prop
erty. W. J3. Meacham notified the Board that
he lias had great difficulty in securing
a right of way for an eight-inch main
from the Council Crest standplpe to Pul
ton Park, and the Board finally referred
this subject to the engineer, the superin
tendent and Councilman Belding. in
whose ward the problem lies. 9
Krgineer Clarke recommended that
Ko!ert W. Hunt be employed to inspect
the material to be used in the construc
tion of the second jv.pel?e to Bull Run
Tilver. his services for that work to agr
prepare about $Tr000. Mayor Simon was
unwilling to have this recommendation
adopted, and it was taken under advise
ment. Pid you ask for bids on this work?
asked the Myor of Kngineer Clarke.
"No, sir." was the reply, but several
people wrote to me for the work."
"Was this- bid the lowest?" asked the
Mayor.
"No, Fir; they ran from 4o cents a ton
to cents." replied Mr. Clarke.
"Well, let's take this under advise
ment.' said the Mayor. "It is rather
important, as the amount is large, and
I want to know whether we should
pay it.'
PURCHASERS NOT
ACTING .FOB HILL
Colonel CVE. S. Wood, How
ever, Confirms Report of
Eastern Oregon Deal.
$100,000 PAID ON OPTION
Syndicate of Minnesota Capitalists
Gains Hold on 70.OOO-Acre
Tract Till May 1 Believed
Hill 3Ioney Will Develop.
Colonel C. E. S. Wood returned yes
terday Irora Ontario. Or., and confirmed
the report published by The- Oreonian
Tuesday that tjie Willamette Valley
& Cascade Mountain Wagon Road
grant of 790,000 acres will probably be
purchased by a syndicate of Minnesota
capitalists. Colonel Wood said that J
C. Wood. W. P. Davidson. A. C. Rob
ertson and John E. Burchard have se
cured an option on the property, for
which they paid the sum of J100.000.
The option will run until May 1.
Colonel Wood Is positive in his state
ment that the purchasers are not act
ing for James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern Railroad, and that the plan
upon which they are working cannot
contemplate the acquisition of the
Boise & Western Railroad, of
which C. E. S. Wood is president.
Great Development Foreseen.
With the passing of the famous grant
into the hands of the Minnesota men, it
is believed that a great era of devel
opment is to open in Central and East
ern Oregon and that the Hill millions
are to come forward for the construc
tion of the roads, which will give the
great railroad builder an entrance into
the territory heretofore exclusively
controlled by the Harrlman lines. Mr.
Wood said?
"The facts as I know them are that
I have represented the Willamette Val
ley & Cascade .Mountain Wagon Road
land grant for over 25 years, and I
took charge of getting right of way
for Mr. Hill through the Malheur Can
yon only last Fall. John F. Stevens,
Mr. Hill's representative in Oregon,
was too busy elsewhere, and he felt,
I presume, that the acquaintance which
Mr. William Hanley, of Burns, Or., and
I had with the people would give us
some advantage over strangers.
"It is publicly known that Mr; Han
ley and t were anxious to break the
monopolistic grip which the Harriman
system h-id on Oregon, even if it had
to be done by building railroads by the
state and leasing them for operation
a principle which I may say I still be
lieve in and believe will be the ulti
mate solution of the difficulties now
existing between railroads and the pub
lic. Those dif Cjculties have called into
being Interstate Commerce Commis
sions, Railroad Commissions, etc., etc.
Hill's Connection Coincidence.
"So far as I know, the gentlemen
now going over the land grant never
were associated before, but have been
Independent land operators. The fact
that they live in St. Paul and are
friends of Mr. Hill's is a mere coinci
dence. I tried at one time to get Mr.
Hill to take over the land grant and
he said he never iningled such specu
lations with his railroad operations;
that he would build the railroads and
leave the land speculations to others.
No sale has been ' made, but two of
these gentlemen, Mr. Burchard and
Mr. Davidson, are looking over the land
grant and have taken an option on it
for themselves and their associates un
til May 1. for which option they have
deposited $100,000.
"I did say at Vale and Ontario, and
am glad to repeat it to The. Oregonian,
that the millions controlled by Mr. Hill
are going to be back of the develop
ment of Oregon and wherever traffic,
present or prospective, could be shown,
there we would, in my opinion, find
Mr. Hill struggling for his share in a
legitimate way.
"He told me that he was going to
send an advertising and educational
exhibit car all over the United States,
with special lecturers and literature,
advertising Oregon exclusively, and
asked the help of Mr. Hanley and my
self in getting the statistics for the
literature and forming a large collec
tion of exhibits, so that the car exhibits
when worn could be replaced with
fresh ones. I am glad to distribute
this information throughout Oregon,
for "i think the various commercial
bodies and representative men should
Join with Mr. Hill in making this ad
vertisement, of the state the very best
possible.
Boise & Western Hill Liue.
"As president of the Boise & West
ern, I am glad to state that It is a
Hill line and that it has occupied the
Malheur Canyon as the first section of
its line because that is an important
pass, but it is not meantto be an ob
struction to any other line, because so
far as I am concerned, and I am sure
I voice Mr. Hill's sentiments, there is
no necessity for these wasteful and
foolish fights by which one road tries
to keep another road out of the coun
try. It cannot be done and it ought
not to be done. The Boise & Western
is in the Malheur Pass not as an obstruc
tion to other lines, but willing and glad
to co-operate with them to mutual ad
vantage and arrange a plan of gen
eral accommodation.
"lit Burchard and Mr. Davidson,
Mr. Robertson and Mr. Wood are land
operators and have nothing whatever
to do with the Boise & Western, nor
any other railroad, so far as I know.
The Boise & Western is not for sale to
anybodv. Individual or corporation. It
is a jei manent part of Mr. Hill s Ore
gon plans." "
BANKER MOORE ACQUITTED
(Cntlnuefl From First Pag?.)
termined upon by the jury, as was' after
wards learned from the jurors, was a
compromise, for the jury stood from the
firsf 9 to 3 for acquittal. Once the 12
men had agreed to disagree. They in
formed the court in the morning of their
position and had been sent back to try
and work it out. They had about deter
mined again to send In a "disagreement"
notice to the Judge when the compromise
was effected by adding the rather un
usual denunciation which concluded his
"not clean bill of health.'
Mr. Moore Is Deathly Pale.
The Jury knocked at the door and filed
into the courtroom at 4:33 o'clock. The
Moore rirt". which had been waiting in
apprehension nearby, was notitied and
hurried into court. Mr. Moore was com
posed but deathly pale. He and his at
torneys seated themselves in the center
of the room facing the judge, and waited.
District Attorney Cameron was the only
one present representing the proseculon.
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald,
whose vigorous prosecution had been one
of the marked features of the case, didj
not attend. Deputies Vreeland and Page
came in during the proceedings and took
seats in the rear of the room.
The jurymen took their seat In tho box
and waited' three minutes for Judge Bro
naugh, who was engaged In another de
partment temporarily.
"Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a
verdict T- asked the Judge, when he ar
rived. "We have." replied Juror Pettis, the
foreman, who rose from his seat and
handed the Judge the written verdict.
The Judge opened the document and
read it over. A puzzled expression
passed over his countenance and while
the crowd of spectators waited breath
lessly, the Judge pondered over the ver
dict. Judge Greatly Perplexed.
He finally called counsel for both sides
to his desk and read the puzzling paper
to them. When exception was taken by
Mr. Cameron, he was at first inclined to
send the jury back to make out a ver
dict without comment in regular form,
but after a slight argument between
counsel in undertones, the Judge finally
decided to accept the verdict as final and
proper.
It was handed to Clerk Bush. Pale but
steady. Mr. Moore rose to his feet and
listened tot the reading of the paper. Im
mediately following this the Jury was
formally dismissed and filed out to hurry
home.
The effect of the reading of the ver
dict was electrifying upon Mr. Moore,
who plainly showed that he had under
gone a great strain during the two weeks
he had been a daily attendant at the
trial. His face tiroke out in radiant
smiles, and accepting the hands of hla
attorneys and friends, -he wrung them
eagerly and gave every evidence of the
great delight he felt at the outcome.
Jury Congratulates Him:
There apparently was considerable
sympathy for him among the members
of the jury, for as Mr. Moore passed
out of the room Jurors Barrett, Yost.
Melton and Jenning shook him cordially
by the hand and wished him well.
"Justice was done our client in his
acquittal," said Mr. Fulton. "The Jury
did the right thing."
"I am disappointed with the result."
said District Attorney Cameron. "The
people of this state are too greatly in
terested in the law which bears on this
case, and I - firmly believe that on an
other case we will secure a conviction.
The verdict, acquits him in one breath
and declares him guilty in another. It is
the most unusual verdict that has ever
been handed down in this state to my
-he acquitted banker went out with
his friends and declined to make any
knowledge."
comment upon the finding.
Out in the hallway a little group of
jurors ' and their friends had stopped
for a moment to discuss the case.
Over 20 Ballots Taken.
"The Jury stood nine to three for ac
quittal from the beginning," said Juror
Melton. "We took from 20 to 25 bal
lots.. We thought we were coming in
with a disagreement until just a few
minutes before we did come in, when
we agreed to add the censure para
graph to "the verdict If the three would
come over to our side. i felt from
the first that there was not a dishon
est hair in Moore's head, and no one
could make me believe that he was
anything but the tool of others in the
bank."
"The case was decided upon the point
of Moore's having knowledge that the
bank was insolvent," said Juror Jen
ning. "Many of the Jurors deemed the
bank insolvent, but did not think
Moore thought it was so. The ques
tion of the draft being technically a
deposit was not one of the points un
der discussion, for the court, ruled on
that and gave us the construction. It
was all a matter of whether we
thought. Jtoore did know the institu
tion was insolvent. We condemned his
actions in the bank, but we got the
three who were holding out for con
viction to .come over by doing th "
Those Favoring Conviction Known.
Although the jurors had agreed to
keep the identity of those voting for
conviction a secret, gossip soon gave
excellent reason to believe that the
three men who held out for the bank
er's conviction were" Jurors Van Voor
his, Rossiter and Glover. Jurors Bar
rett and Melton, whose questions dur
ing the trial had made them conspicu
ous as believers in Moore's innocence,
declared their attitude without reserve
as soon as they left the Jury box.
Among the other indictments against
Mr. Moore on the same Issue as' the
one of the trial Just 'finished are in
cluded the cases of Marie Veal, Abe
Henkle, Tom Paulus and Henry Bean,
all of whom made deposits during the
last day or days of the bank's exist
ence. Marie Veal deposited over $100.
She is a school teacher and lives on
East Morrison street near Grand ave
nue. Abe Henkle deposited $2000. He
is a retired farmer and lives at the
International Hotel, on North Sixth
street. Tom Paulus is the proprietor
of a Greek restaurant in the Grand
Central Hotel buildng on North Third
street. He deposited $180. Henry Bean
was an old retired soldier and depos
ited his pension. News of his death
recently reached the office of the Dis-'
trict Attorney.
Prosecuting Officials Hopeful.
Charging misappropriation of funds
of the bank in the Board of Trade
building deal, the Pacific & Eastern and
other transactions, there are several
indictments against Mr. Moore for em
bezzlement. On these the prosecuting
officials say they are certain to get
convictions, in view of the admissions
Mr. Moore has so far made, in case
they fail completely in getting a
"guilty" verdict on the charge of re
ceiving deposits In an insolvent bank.
The District Attorney, however, has
expressed a desire to convict under this
new statute to establish a precedent
and set up a warning to reckless
bankers. -
No announcement as to the trials of
W. Cooper Morris and the other of
Mr. Moore's codefendants has yet been
made, for it is understood from the
present attitude of the prosecuting of
ficials that Mr. Moore will be tried and
retried until a conviction is reached
before any of the other cases are called.

Any person who contemplates the purchase of
a home-site in a highly improved and re
stricted district can do no better than pur
chase in Laurelhurst. "We ask no better privi
lege than that of showing j-ou Laurelhurst
after you have seen some of the other resi
: dence additions, for it will impress itself upon
you then more firmly than ever that Laurel
hurst is the most highly improved and re
stricted of any of them, and you will realize
what we mean when we say V close in," for ,
Laurelhurst is from 5 to 10 minutes closer to
the business and shopping district of Portland
than other residence tracts now on sale, and
it is on two carlines. Both the Montavilla and
Rose City Park lines run to and through '
Laurelhurst. This property is not on the out
skirts, but is close in. Portland is built up
almost solid for three miles beyond Laurel
hurst. Highly improved property in any other
- city in the United States the size of Portland
and which is as close in to the center of the
city as Laurelhurst, is today selling for three
- times what we are asking for Laurelhurst lots.
. Just think of it here is a high-grade resi
dence tract, one and one-half miles from the.
center of the town, more highly restricted and
- more highly improved than any other section
of Portland, and yet we are selling lots as
cheap and in some cases cheaper than is being
asked for lots in these other sections wThich
' are much further out and not nearly so wrell
improved. Do not temporize and wait until
your opportunity is gone, but see Laurelhurst
at once. Call at our office and we will be
pleased to show you the property in our auto-
. mobiles; or take Rose City Park or Monta
villa cars. Deal with an' of our authorized
brokers if you prefer.

India already done and still being- done
by the British government," he said.
"I believe if Great Britain should with
draw from India, the people of that
great province would not rule them
selves. In my opinion the Mohamme
dans would rule.
"There has been much said about
unrest in India.' I found it quite the
contrary, excepting only in Bengal.
There agitators have sprung up. These
men, I learned, were, for the most part,
educated in England and returning,
took it on themselves to wrest the gov
ernment from the English. Few peo
ple realize what an Immense country
it is with its 200,000.000 people. Dur
ing the English regime the' entire
country has been changed. Now the
sweeping plagues, depopulating whole
cities, are no more. What few plagues
they do have are confined to the more
remote places and are speedily checked.
"One thing that impressed me par
ticularly was the keen commercial
competition between the various Euro
pean countries and particularly be
tween England and Germany. The
Germans are In the lead, and this has
accentuated bitterness between them.
The Germans have accomplished this
lead through cheaper materials. Every
thing manufactured anywhere in the
world has been imitated by the Ger
mans. The articles are made cheaply

and I doubt if their supremacy will
continue for any great length of time.
"Everywhere I found American-made
goods, even not infrequently being re
minded of a well-known city made fa
mous by its beer. In London, Ameri
can tobacco is far in the lead. I was
told the business there yearly of the
American Tobacco Company amounts
to $2,000,000.
"We were in Paris soon after the
floods, but to all outward appearances
there had been no flood. I was told
the underground mechanism of that
rreat city was damaged, however, con
siderably. The Mardl Gras was being
held while we were there, and I am
compelled to say, despite the fame of
the ancient festival, that our own Rose
Festival is far in advance of it. The
crowds, however, might have been jol
lier and better natured."
