stated, work Is being done to a point
three miles east of there, Corey Bros,

which stretch of work they are now
employing about ?00 men.
Our party, consisting of William

Curley. the chauffeur, and your cor
respondent reached Riverside by auto,
Mr. Davidson and the writer coming
from Portland via Redmond. Mr. Bickle
was picked up at Prinevllle and Mr.
Hanley and his chauffeur at Burns.
Mr. Davidson Is one of the principal
owners of the Willamette Valley and
Cascade Mountain land grant lands,
which are being handled by the Ore
gon & Washington Colonization Com
pany, with offices at Portland, Prine
vllle, Burns. Ontario and various other
places. These lands about 1.000.000
acres are now on the market in tracts
to suit purchasers, the prices being
reasonable and the terms of payment
very long.
Mr. Bickle is an irrigation engineer of
wide reputation and undoubted skill.
His home is at Twin Falls. Idaho. He
was a guest of Mr. Davidson and was
looking over the grant lands for a pur
pose not expressed.

The next point down the river from
Riverside designated as a town is Jun

with its eastern fork. Juntura is
about 18 miles due north from River
side, but following the railway survey
it is considerably farther, the river
being very crooked. And the canyons
are so precipitous that one can get
through only on foot or on horseback.
Traveler! Trike to Trail.
So we left the railway route at River
side and took the trail off to th- north
east, then to the east and down to the
little town oi Juntura, whlrh lies in a
magnificent valley, most of which is ir
rigated. The old town, consisting of a

road was in operation up to them. And
if the road was Intended only as a make
shift, or transient route, something to
be rebuilt later, there would be no
bridges tnere at all: a detour of a mile
or so would be made around the river's
bend.

It was certainly a great treat! trains may be seen going back and forth
from ale to the mouth of the canyon,
where the Malheur enters the valley.
The road is all completed save ballast
ing across the valley and about five
miles up the canyon, or 15 miles in all.
Most of the grading is done up to the
tunnel, and long before the bad weather
sets in this Kali trains will be running
as far as bridge No. 3 and. possibly to
the tunnel. '

SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. Because
the San Francisco Bar Association is
seeking to have Charles E. George, a 3
attorney, disbarred from practice in
this state on a charge of having fraud
ulently obtained his certificate, the In
ternational Law Association and Med
Ico-Legal Society of New York has
written a letter to the Bar Association
which says in part:
"Because of the insult offered our

Investigation Begun as Result of
Disclosures at Honolulu May Be
Extended to All Calling
Ports In Pacific.
HONOLULU. Aug. 20. Smugglers of
opium in their efforts to circumvent
the customs authorities at American
ports have been using United States
mall bags as carriers of the contraband
drug and evidently have succeeded in
bringing many thousands of dollars"
worth of opium into island and pos
sibly mainland ports.
The discovery of this method of
smuggling, which was made some time
ago. has been kept secret by the Gov
ernment officials who have been In
vestigating. On the. steamer Man
churia, which arrived at Honolulu on
August 8 from the Orient, a mail bag
was found which, instead of contain
ing letters, was stuffed with 35000
worth of opium.
Mall Bag Seized at Wharf.
Either mail bags long have been
used for this purpose by collusion be
tween postal employes here and at
some Oriental port, or the bag had
been opened aboard the Manchuria, the
mail destroyed and the tins of opium
placed in the bag. The bag had been
manifested from Nagasaki, Japan. It
was seized at the wharf here, when
the mall was landed by customs offi
cers who apparently had advance in
formation concerning the scheme or
the smugglers.
Assistant United States Attorney-Gen
eral Gordon arrived here recently and
began an investigation in which he
was assisted by C. R. Stackable, col
lector of the port; R. W. Breckons,
United States Attorney in the islands,
and Joseph G. Pratt, the postmaster of
Honolulu. They had been engaged for
a week in endeavoring to clear up the
mystery and ascertain who were en
gaged in the smuggling conspiracy.
Kxtended Inquiry Promised.
It is believed the investigation will
be extended to all calling ports of the
steamships that ply between Manila
and San Francisco.
Assistant United States Attorney-
General Gordon went from here to
Japan and it is believed his mission is
to continue his investigations in Jap
anese ports in an endeavor to find the
ringleaders of the smuggling ring.
STUDENTS WILL BENEFIT
Willamette University Library Rc-
catalogued by Eastern Expert.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salom,
Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) For several
months past Miss Lucia Haley, of the
Pratt Institute, New ork city, has
been engaged in recataloguing the vol
umes of the Willamette University li
brary. Miss Haley comes highly rec
ommended as a specialist in this fea
ture of library work, and her efforts
here fully justify her advance indorse
ments. Miss Haley Is assisted by Dr. Lyle,
the regular university librarian, and
a couple of others familiar with this
line of work.
The new cataloguing of library
books has become necessary owing to
a large number of recent additions in
the way of gifts from alumni and
other friends of old Willamette. Also
as the result of a careful inventory of
the present works possessed by the
university, the institution will be able
intelligently to select and purchase
additions to those lines in which a
shortage is found.
A large addition to the books of the
library was arranged, for some time
ago. but the work being done by Miss
Haley was first considered necessary.
Miss Haley will be given sufficient
sistance to complete the work prior to
the university opening September 26,

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20. Before any
opposing counsel could offer a word of
argument. Judge George tl. Mutton
summarilv washed his hands of par
ticipatton' in any further prosecution of
Clarence S. Harrow by assigning to
Presiding Judge Willis, of the Superior
Court, the case in which Darrow is ac
cused of bribing Juror Bain. It was
assigned to Judge Willis merely for
setting of the trial, and the time was
fixed at 10 o'clock next Monday morn
ing.
Judse Hutton announced that be
cause or tne rixea opinion ne nau
formed from hearing the evidence in
the recent Darrow trial, he had no de
sire to take any part whatever In con
nection with the trial on the Bain
indictment.
The District Attorney presented Jin
affidavit todav In which it was de
clared that there was no merit In tiie
contention of the defense that the bu
day limit had expired without a trial
on the second Indictment, as the de
fense had stipulated to fixing a date
for the trial afterithe trial on the first
indictment. The defense had asked for
a dismissal, setting forth the 60-day
limit expiration as one of the grounds
for Hismissal.
The motion of the defense to dismiss
probably will be argued before Judge
Willis Monday.

ularly. It is not a digester of foods,
but it will restore your stonuich and
intestines so that they will attend to
their natural functions, digesing what
you eat and giving strength to the body.
For more than eighty years thou
sands of men and women who had suf
fered the pains caused by dyspepsia
and indigestion have been praising this
Tonic as the only remedy which brought
them permanent relief. As the Tonic
acts directly upon, the stomach and in
