rooms at tho Portland Hotel, but their
liames did not appear on the register
'. and the hotel employes were in igiior-
am e of their identity.
What reason the visitors had for with
holding Information concerning, their ar
. rival in this city is a matter of conjec
ture, but a fair guess is that their trip to
Portland is on business relating to the
s luiRe plant now under construction by the
. Swift Company on the peninsula, which
can best be, accomplished without pub
licity. ,. The fact that Swift & Company intend
to make the Tortland plant one of. the most
important of their string, has ueen known
for some time. Work is processing on a
'. (scale thut gives ample proof of that in
dention. More than 2000 acres have been
secured for stockyards and packing
houses, and dredgers are digging a chan
' tie to tlie site of a depth sufficient to
' permit sea-going craft to load at the
, plant. It has been repeatedly announced
, that the whole work will involve an ex
penditure approaching $4.0U0,00O. and with
that fact in mind tho visit of the controll
: ing men of the company is easily ex
( plained.
S It is announced that tho present it Mr.
.Swift's tlrst visit to Portland, though his
'.representatives, both resident and travel
ing, have kept him posted concerning the
.progress on this latest addition to the
Swift plants, which for years have been
among the largest in the world.
As soon' as the party had engaged
apartments at the- hotel. Its members left
.lor a tour of inspection of the packing
'plijnt at Troutdalo under the guidance of
i local representatives of Swift & Co., the
; object of this visit being to discuss plans
for enlarging and increasing the capacity
of tlie plant at that point. Troutdale is
to be continued as a feeder for the main
plant.
The party returned to Portland at 3
' o'clock yesterday afternoon, and held a
secret conference at their hotel with local
Swift officials.
; Negotiations will be opened probably to
morrow with the legal and construction
departments of tlie railroads which are
planning to extend their lines td the
peninsula plant, the definite object being
. to bring pressure to bear upon them o
hasten the work of completing the branch
lines to the Swift property. It is asserted
'that the whole plans of the Swift people
have been held up pending some decision
on the part of the reads regarding their
terminals and yards. No work can be
done toward the actual construction of
.yards or dockage or buildings of the plant
until tlie railroads Indicate Just where
their tracks will run and what conces
sions they will make to the packers.
. It was stated by a member of the party
yesterday, that 'the fill which is now
being made on the water frontage of the
Swift property will represent an expen
diture of about ' Jl,250,000, including, of
course, the concrete docks, which will be
.built at that point, and where a channel
tt 40 feet will be maintained for the dock
ing of Oriental, Alaskan and coastwise
steamers.
The aggregate cost of the buildings of
.tlie huge, plant and yards, which will be
a reproduction of the Swift establishment
in Chicago, though on a smaller scale, will
approximate $2,000,000. The cost of river
Steamers, cattle ranges and other acces
sories, it is Stated, will bring the grand
Jotal to be expended by tho packing-house
within the next two years close to W.000.
OO0. The railroads will probably spend not
less than $:'.0X).um for terminals, trestles,
tunnel work, trackage and other im
provements, n order tofgive adequate fa
cilities for tlie packers to handle incom
ing and outgoing shipments and supplies.
One object the Swift party has in view
1s to secure a promise from the Oregon &
"Washington Koad. through President J.
I. O'Urieli. who is the head of the Ore
gon end of the line, to begin work on the
tMXMtinnel, trestle and terminal tracka
not later than March 1. Whether Presi
dent Swift will be successful in persuad
ing the railroads to begin work on the
terminals at that time is conjectural, Mr.
O'Brien has said that there was little
Jiope that ' his road would resume con
struction work on the Peninsula extension
fnr urtme time tn rnme nr at Tana
until financial and industrial conditions in
tho Kast had eased up. This, he inti
mated, might be in one month or it might
not be for six. It is not likely that tho
packing-house magnates will have much
-difficulty in making satisfactory arrange
ments with the North Bank officials for
Hlie handling of shipments over that line,
for the construction work Is being pushed
as rapidly us possible at the present time,
and the road will be completed long be
fore the Swift people will be ready to
handle cither livestock or ship out tho
nnished products of their plant.

that ho buried this woman, but asserts
that she committed suicide. The Coroner

lead to the identification of tlie body
found today.
Chauncey Dale Passes Away.
Chauncey Dale, a mining man of the
Pacific Northwest and an Oregon pioneer,
died at his apartments in the Union
block, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from a complication of ailments peculiar
to old age. He was S3 years ot age and
for years has been a familiar figure on
tlie streets of Portland. During his
career he is said to have made a num
ber of rich strikes, and was one of tlie
first prospectors to frequent the Blue
River District," and his mine at that place
is today one of the richest in the Pacific
Northwest. As far as known, he had no
near relatives in this state, and until

By his action in dismissing the
charges against only two of the many
indicted persons awaiting trial, Mr.
Heney surprised a great many of the
non-enthusiastic advocates of land
fraud prosecutions who had predicted
that the graft prosecutor would plunge
wholesale, many of the defendants into
an immunity bath by annulling large
number of the indictments. Following

Mr. Heney admitted that with the con
clusion of the Hall case he practically
severs his connection with the. Oregon
land-fruad prosecutions. However, he
expects to return In April and per
sonally conduct the Hermann and Wil
liamson cases. With these exceptions,
the Government's interests will be
looked after by Mr. Becker, who was
assigned to this state for the specific
purpose of conducting the Government's
investigation of the Oregon & Califor

Mr. Heney in the prosecution ot the

"I do not know that my engagements
In San Francisco will permit me to
return to Oregon further than to dis
cuss Senator Fulton and his candidacy
for re-election before the primary elec
tion," satd Mr. Heney yesterday. "I
understand Mr. Fulton is complaining
because 1 did not tell all I know about
him when I delivered an address eome
two weeks ago, but I did not have the
time. I expected to have an oppor
tunity to make another address bo
fore leaving Portland;' but the trial of
Hall occupied more time than I an
ticipated and it is now imperative that
I return immediately to San Francisco
to resume my work there. When Mr.
Fulton replies to my first address, as
he said he would. I may have some
thing further to say."'

BILL IS STRINGENT
City Attorney Drafts a New
Liquor Ordinance.
AIMED AT THE WINE-ROOMS
Measure Prohibits Women ' l'rom
Drinking in or Frequenting Sa
loons DriscoII Will Father
It in the Council.
City Attorney Kavanaugh yesterday
completed drafting an ordinance pro
hibiting women from entering sa
loons or public drinking places for the
purpose of loitering or purchasing
liquor. It is the mo3t drastic measure
of Its kind ever eeriously considered ij
Portland, but Is declared by Mr. Kav
anaugh to be strictly, constitutional.
He says the ordinance will stand any
test to which it may be put and is
thoroughly satisfied with It.
The proposed ordinance win go be
fore the liquor-license committee at its
regular meeting tomorrow afternoon,
and it is expected that It will be recom
mended to tho Council for passage. It
wij! be fathered by Councilman Dris
coII, who, at a recent committee meet
ing, moved that the City Attorney be
instructed to draft such a measure. It
was the numerous complaints against
saloons and the subsequent investiga
tion showing the trouble-makers to
be women, principally, that led to tlie
drafting of the ordinance.
The. proposed ordLnancc reads as fol-'
lows:
An ordinance to prohibit licensed

WISE CLERK
Quits Sandwiches ami Cortee for Lunch.
The noon-day lunch for the Department
clerks at Washington, is often a most
serious question.
"For fifteen years." writes one of these
clerks, "I have been working In one of
tho Gov't Departments. .About two years
ago I found myself every afternoon, with
a very tired feeling In my head, trying to
get the day's work off my desk.
"I had heard of Grape-Nuts as a food
for brain and nerve centers, so 1 began to
eat it instead of my usual heavy break
fast, then for my lunch Instead of sand
wiches and coffee.
"In a very snort time the tired feeling
in the head left mo. and ever since then
the afternoon's work has been done with
as much ease and pleasure as the morn
ing's work.
"Grape-Nuts for two meals a day has
worked, in my case, just as advertised,
producing that reserve force and supply
of energy that does not permit one to
tire easily so essential to the successful
prosecution of one's life work." "There's
a reason."
