District Is Thriving.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
XIETOLICS, Or.. June 26. (Staff Cor
respondence.) Metolius la the division
point or the Oregon Trunk Railway,
and it is. here that the shops and round
house of that road are situated. Several
of the trainmen also live here. The
buildings here, both residences and
' mercantile structures, are of an aver
age high. type. Some of them, particu
larly the hotel and bank, are edifices
of a rather pretentious type and size
to be erected in a new town, as they
were for Metollous came into exist
ence in the Winter and Spring of 1912.
just before the Oregon Trunk reached
here.
The land hereabouts is In the dry
farming: class, there being' no irrigated
tracts in this neighborhood; and, as
there has been a partial crop failure
here on dry land for the last three or
four years, this section has suffered
about the same as other portions of the
dry-farming area in Central Oregon.
Settlers around Metolius, as well as
the citizens of the town, are of the
class generally that overlook the hole
in the doughnut and keep nibbling at
the rim. Hence there is here now a
feeling of optimism, for the crop out
look in this section was perhaps never
so bright at this season of the year.
With the ground full of moisture, the
grains looking fine, with excellent
stands as a rule, there is sure to be a
record crop this year, which certainly
means as much to Metolius as to any
other town.
Mill Considered Bis Asset.
Metolius, however, has one advantage
over most other places, for there has
here been erected a large flour mill
and a mammoth grain elevator. The
latter is to handle the wheat and other
cereals in bulk, thus saving the buying
of sacks. In addition to the bulk ware
house, there is in connection with the
plant a warehouse for handling grain
In sack. These great plants belong to
John Seethoff & Sons. They came here
from New Salem, N. D. They looked
all over interior Oregon before select
ing Metolius as their field of opera
tions and finally selected this point be
cause they considered it in the midst
of a great wheat area. The mill now
has a capacity of 200 barrels "of flour
a day, but the building is arranged
or a 400-barrel plant. It is going to
mean a whole lot to this section to
chip out trainloads of flour Instead
of trainloads of wheat.
It would be futile to dodge the do
mestic water problem of this entire
section. It is a serious question. In
many neighborhoods it would cost the
value of half a section of land to get a
good well of water to serve for domes
tic use alone. Then the great depth
would entail a power pumping plant,
the cost of fuel for which would be a
heavy tax. Everybody who knows any
thing about dry-land farming knows
that hauling water is about the most
unsatisfactory labor that any landown
er was ever up against.
Water Is Syndicated.
Last Winter about 25 farmers living
west of Metolius, between the railroad
and the Deschutes River, banded to
gether and put in an automatic pump
ing plant at the river and several miles
of pipe leading to their farms. Now
these people have plenty of good water
for their dwellings and stock and suffi
cient to irrigate a big garden patch.
The scheme has been so successful that
similar plants will soon be installed in
other neighborhoods.
No doubt the lands thus served have
been doubled in value. Not only that
but think of what it means towards
keeping the families on those lands.
If the waterless area hereabouts, say
100,000 acres, were supplied with water
in that way it would soon double the
price of land and greatly increase the
population and their prosperity. As to
the cost, it is a trifle compared to the
constant expense of hauling water
and then usually having none when
needed worst.
County Seat Fight Warm.
The Metolius people think their town
will be the county seat of Jefferson
after the Fall election. As the Madras
folk, tell me. they had by far the best
show for the new courthouse, and, as
I have yet to visit Culver, the tempo
rarv seat of government, where the

nail, to retain It, It is better not to
turn prophet, but to give them all a
clear field and. no favor while wishing
the best scrappers to win. It is a
mighty pretty and interesting fight,
even now; but it will be fierce a cou
ple of months from now and from that
on to the ides of November.
Metolius has a good newspaper, the
Jefferson County Record. It is pub
lished from the old Central Oregonlan
office, and Pearson's old plant is used.
M. A. Cumming, a promising young at
torney of this section, is its editor and
manager. It is a goodly weekly sheet.
generally well filled with news from
all over the county. The man behind
the type and on top of the press is the
dean of 'comps" of Central Oregon.
Long, long ago he was slug something
on The Oregonlan, in the days Before
Mergenthaler even dreamed of the lino
type. This veteran, now almost 80
years "young," sets all the type and
does a good share of the other work
in the office. He has not missed a day
for over a year, is .as hale and hearty
as a youngster, enjoys his work, be
lieves in Central Oregon. Is a good cit
izen in every sense of the word. His
principal regret is that he did not come
here and locate about 50 years ago: but.
now that he is here, you couldn't drive
him away.
Banker la "Booster."
The Citizens' State Bank. N. A. Bur-
dick, president and manager, occupies
its own fine building, which is one
of the handsomest banking structures
in the interior. Mr. Burdlck is one qi
the best "boosters' this section ever
had and a fine citizen In eery way.
His bank is doing mighty well. Its de
posits having increased over 25 per cent
during the past year.
Metolius has a large, well-equipped
and handsome school building. The
town district is joined with the sur
rounding territory, thus giving the
nearby farmers' sons and daughters
the advantage of a well-appointed and
well-conducted school.
There is, as mentioed at first, a
fine hotel building here. It is large,
well furnished and is run in good shape
by G. W. Lipplncott. The traveler need
wish for no better stopping place on
the road from The Dalles to Klamath.

dock at the foot of Main street. There
the Cohen boy slipped into the river,
but was rescued by his companions,
who thrust a plank within his reach
when the boy was on the point of
drowning.
Two hours after this escapade Pa
trolman Cameron arrested the young
sters on a charge of stealing milk.
Juvenile Court authorities did not hold
the lads. ,
Late last niht Detective Captain
Baty received word that the boys bad
been arrested in Hillsboro as runa
ways. The police notified the boys'
respective parents.

INTEREST KEEN IN
DISBARMENT CASE
Well-Known Chehalis Attorney
-Accused of Circulating
.Libelous Documents.
J. E. WILLIS JS DEFENDANT
Real Issue Declared to Be, Personal
i
Controversy With Jndge Rice.
Review of Attorney's Earlier
Activities Is Made.
BY SHAD O. KRA.NTZ.
CHEHALIS. "Wash.. June 26 (Spe
cial.) Disbarment proceedings were
started in the Superior Court here to
day against J. E. Willis, a prominent
local attorney, who is accused of cir
culating libelous documents against
Alonzo E. Rice, Superior Judge of
Lewis County. " The case against Mr.
Willis is being prosecuted by a com
mittee of attorneys representing the
Lewis County Bar Association.
Mr. Willis, who is more than 65 years
old, but vigorous and aggressive, is
acting as his own counsel. Judge P.
K. Sullivan, of Spokane, is presiding,
as Judge Rice is disqualified on ac
count of his personal interest.
While the case nominally is directed
against Mr. Willis, the real issue be
hind it all is a personal controversy
between Mr. Willis and Judge Rice.
Sensations Are Scented.
This issue kept cropping out all day
long and towards the last neither side
tried to conceal it. The attorneys only
Sot warmed up to their task when court
adurned tonight. The case promises
to grow more interesting and even
more sensational as it progresses
through the 'next few days.
On account of the prominence of all
the interested parties the proceedings
have attracted wide attention through
out the country. People gathered from
near and distant points to hear it. The
little courtroom was crowded and nun
dreds of others were . unable to gain
admittance. So far as the proceedings
themselves were concerned they failed
to develop anything that was not al
ready known in every cigar store and I
on every street corner in Chehalis, Cen
tralia and other places in Lewis
County, yet every one was anxious to
hear the story retold, and no one,
after once gaining a seat, left it until
court adjourned.
Early Activities Recounted.
But to get into the real issue of the
case, the personal controversy between
the judge and the attorney, already re
ferred to. it is necessary to go back a
few years into history. Mr. Willis is
one of the oldest attorneys in this part
of the state. He came here in the old
territorial days and for a while engaged
in the newspaper business. He was
admitted to the bar and began prac
ticing before Washington was ad
mitted to the Union. During the first
Cleveland administration he served as
Postmaster of Chehalis. He has a repu
tation as a controversial, contentious
person and seemingly is hard to get
along with. He is said to have few
Intimates and fewer than half a dozen
attorneys in I-ewis County are on
friendly terms with him.
Being an attorney he naturally
comes into some contact with public
officials of the county, and it is an
open secret here that he has bad quar
rels with nearly all of them. His quar
rels, though, have merely been the out
growth of his temperament and not the
result of any jealousy, rivalry or am
bition to hold office. He was a candi
date only once for an elective office and
that was more than 20 years ago. He
was defeated for Probate Judge after
a bitter campaign.
Willis Once Rice Supporter.
After quite a little activity in pol
itics, nearly always in an effort to beat
somebody rather than to elect the other
fellow, he jumped most actively Into
the campaign of 1900 when H. s. fc.l
liott, a Democrat, then the Superior
Judge of the district embracing Lewis
County, was a candidate for re-election.
Alonzo E. Rice, then an attorney
of considerable prominence and a Re
publican, was a candidate against him.
Mr. Willis, himself a Democrat, had
had his usual quarrel with Judge El
liott and openly and actively supported
Mr. Rice.
While partisan politics apparently
had nothing whatever to do In assist
ing Mr. Willis in forming his likes and
dislikes for public officials, this cir
cumstance is related merely to show
how non-partisan he has been in his
opposition to men in office.
Jurist and Lawyer Estranged.
Well, that campaign of 16 years ago
resulted in Mr. Rice's election. He has
been elected three times since and is
now serving his fourth term. He is a
candidate for re-election again this
year. ,
But in the 16 years that Judge Rice
has been on the bench he and Mr.
Willis have become estranged. It is
hard to point out just the precise in
cident that led to the parting of the
ways, but the gulf between them has
grown perceptibly wider and wider
with the last few years.
No one in Lewis County paid much
attention to their quarrel. As a matter
of fact it is doubtful whether many
people knew it, for it is so customary
for Mr. Willis to be at outs with the
incumbent officials that his unfriendly
relations with Judge Rice attracted
little notice.
Minis' Document Stirs. ,
But along in the latter part of March
something happened that caused the
people here to stand up and rub their
eyes. A 28-paee pamphlet, entitled the
"Crimes and Misdemeanors' of Honor
able Alonzo K. Rice," made its sudden
appearance on the streets. It was gen
erally circulated throughout the coun
ty. The title page, in large letters,
proclaimed that J. E. Willis was the
author.
The subtitle reads, "Grand and Petit

uourt a scnooi ior scanaai.
There are many dishonorable acts
that Judge Rice can be guilty of that
Mr. Willis, In his book, did not accuse
him of.
Pamphlet's Contents Sununariaed.
Recapitulated, some of the principal
charges made against Judge Rice were
aa follows:
First That in the trial of a criminal
case he permitted the names of young
girls, not parties to the proceedings,
to be dragged into the record amid
salacious surroundings. When this case
was appealed, says the pamphlet, the
Supreme Court of the state of Wash
ington, in referring to the nature of
the testimony, cautioned against per
mitting the court to grow into a school
for scandal.
Second That Judge Rice employed
his own wife as a stenographer or
court reporter in his own court, con
trary to any affirmative statute, and
pafd her an aggregate of $579.20 for
such service.
Willis Charsea Nepotism.
This accusation Is made with ref
erence to actions prior to the enact
ment of the law of 1913, which au
thorizes the employment of a court
stenographer.
Third That Judge Rice again em
Ployed his wife under provisions of
the law of 1913 in alleged violation of
the statute which prohibits, a judge
from employing any person under his
official control or direction for the
private benefit or gains of himself.
Under this arrangement Mrs. Rice has
received amounts variously estimated
at from $1200 to J1500 a year.
Fourth That Judge Rice acted at
counsel for the .city of Chehalis in
proceedings preliminary to inauguration
of a campaign to build a municipal
water system. Although It Is not con
tended that the judge received a fee
for this service the pamphlet asserts
that he is prohibited from practicing
law in any event.
Fifth Judge Rice Is accused of cer
tifying the claims of Count v
sioners for meals which they did not
cat wnue in me county's service and
for gasoline for the Commissioners'
automobiles and his own automobile.
The pamphlet was elrculnteH &n or
al ly through the county. Copies even
were sent to the judges of the Supreme
Court and to Superior Court judges in
otner parts or tne state.
Mr. Willis was very Industrious in
circulating them. In fact, he is accused
of circulating them in onen court, and
recently was tried and convicted on a
charge of contempt of court on that
allegation; ,
Effect on Politics Seen.
Based on the record in this case and
the general unbecoming conduct in
having the booklet printed, the Bar
Association started its disbarment pro
ceedings. The ticklish nature of the
case and its possible effects on politics
is revealed even nere.
A committee composed of C. D. Cun
ningham, of Centralia; C. H. Forney
and Herman Allen was named to handle
the prosecution. A short time ago Mr.
Allen withdrew from the case. Now
ne Is a candidate for Drdsecutlns: at
torney. C. A. Studebaker was. named
in his place. Later he withdrew be
cause he was required to prosecute the
contempt proceedings against Mr.
Willis. Then A. E. Buxton was sub
stituted. When court opened today
Mr. Buxton was absent. He Is said to
be in Tacoma. His colleagues have
issued, a . subpena for him. He has
been mentioned as a candidate for State
benator.
