The second contention of the state
was technical, and the third waa to the
effect that the land settled on by Mld
dausa was heavily timbered, and not of
a character properly open to homestead
entry. As to this contention, the Secre
tary holds: "The testimony showa the
land is heavily timbered. Is rough and
ctitflcalt to prepare for cultivation. Ac
cord tot to the evidence a considerable
portion of the land is susceptible of cul
tivation after removal of the timber. The
iJopartment has repeatedly held that
land of this character may be entered
under the homestead law."

tea-art had been anyone'! else boy
there would never have been any prose
cution." Mr. Stewart layt that Mr. Starr
showed an unutual desire to- secure a
conviction when ne wa. prosecuting
the former's son Halbert.
"It Is worthy of note," he says, "that
Mr. Starr secured W. H. Wilson. . of

In the state to assist him In, the trial
of my son and that this I. the only
Instance during the year, ha ha. been
In office that ha hat secured another
lawyer td help him In a trial whether
great or small."
Mr. Stewart declares that the charges
made against Mr. Starr. in the recall
petition are all true, and more besides.
"After he had failed In his effort to
convict my son he got on a prolonged
drunk," he says, "and threw a liquor
bottle clear acros. the street and cursed

"Every bootlegger In tha county and
every bootlegging sympathizer and all
who are criminally Inclined are lined

administration they feel absolutely
safe and lmmube. He winks at real
crimes and. on the other hand. take,
up - little Justice Court cases In the
Circuit Court that he never Investi

Mr. Stewart refers to tha charge, of
non-support placed against his son Hal
bert a. a "story." He show, how
hi. son. In order to secure work, had
been compelled to leave his wife in
Fossil with hit parents. Later, he
say., she left them and went to her
own parents. He says that, while his
son did not send her money at that
time, she used his credit at the atores
for whatever she needed.
The letter also contains a denial of
the assertion, that Mr. Stewart threat
ened to have Mayor Albee recalled
after hi. eon had been arrested In Port
land on the non-support charge. He
also sayt that he did not attempt to
have Detective Vaugban. the arresting
officer, discharged, since, as he says.
he did not know who made the arrest.
"But what I was incensed at, and
what I do not understand yet." he
says. "Is that tha boy was held in jail
two day. and nlghta and that all his
requests to be permitted to telephone
or to communicate with counsel, with
his father In Salem, or hie people In
Fossil, were Ignored. I requested that
the matter be Investigated and tbe
Jailer and other officer, who treated
tne boy at a convicted criminal be
disciplined.
"I did not ten atayor Aioee that l
was a member of the Legislature or
that I would have blm recalled. That
la ao abaurd as to be amusing. I never
thought being a member ot tha Legis
lature wa. anything to scare anybody
with; moreover, the only Legislature
that I wat a member of had then

Weaiad Corroborates Starr.

on the recall. Is self-explanatoryr

to recall J. K. Starr, the District At
torney for this county. Y6u have stat
ed the facts very clearly. When my
daughter and I called at Mr. Starr's
office and asked to have a complaint
drawn charging Halbert Stewart,
James S. Stewart's ion, and my son-in-law,
with the crime of non-support.
Mr. Starr was reluctant to draw the
complaint, and stated that the com
mencement of the action would begin
a perpetual feud between Stewart and
him, and that, as Stewart always used
his newspaper as a means of further
ing his personal ends. Stowart would
have the better of the fight. Recent
events have Justified his belief about
the feud.
"As Stewart haa openly stated that
he will have Mr. Starr out of office
before th next term of Circuit Court,
there can be no question about his
motives. The publicity Tglven these by
The Oregonlan has given the people ot
this county a knowledge of the actual
underlying conditions and. knowing
these, there can he little doubt about
how they vote.
"I thank you for the attention you
have given this recall, as we Consider
It largely a family fight between our
family and" Stewart's, and an unfair
attack upon Mr. Starr. Very truly.
"MRS. E. J. TIPLEY."
PORK HELD NOT INFECTED
Seized Meat From Overfed Hogs,
Not Cholera Victims, "Test Shows.
Portland' reCent hog cholera scare
was without foundation. Bacteriologi
cal tests of four hogs confiscated by
the, health bureau on supposition that
they .were slaughtered while infected
with cholera showed under tests
that the real trouble was overfeeding
and overheated , condition when
slaughtering took place. The outward
appearances of hogs slaughtered under
these conditions and hogs suffering
from cholera are similar..
The hogs were shipped to Portland
from T amhill by a farmer named Zimmerman.
