ROTTEN PORTLAND. If we may believe the reports com ing from Portland and published in the three papers of that city, the place is as corrupt and as morally rot ten as hell itself could desire it to be. The mayor who was elected on a moral wave sentiment ticket and plat form has thrown down the party elect ing him, and to all appearances is standing in with gamblers, thugs, va grants and prostitutes and their ilk. The police force is nothing more or I against. directly responsible for the terrible scenes of carnage and massacre that are taking place in Macedonia and on the borders of Bulgaria. During the past six months at least 100,000 persons have been killed by the murderous Turks and still the acts of carnage and outrage continue. The Czar of Russia is backing up Tur key to such an extent that the vari ous governments of Europe are nfraid to interfere and we have the fine spectacle of a so-called Christian na tion backing up the Mohamedan gov ernment of Turkey is keeping Mace donia, a professed Christian people in a condition of abject slavery. The Mohamedan nations of the world are a unit in defense of the Mohamedan religion and civilization. The so- called Christian nations are split up into fractions and will see one of their number practically exterminated rather go to the relief of the victim, because they are afraid that a little advantage might be secured by one over the other in the question of pos sesion of land or ports. The Turk in Europe is an interloper and invader and he is there by sufferance because the European powers could not agree to the division of Turkey in Europe. Then there is another factor that the Euro pean nations do not like to contend It is a well known fact that SENATOR. . BOOTH. ROBBING HOMESEEKERS BY FILING LIEU SCRIP. WHO IS THIS MAN BOOTH THAT THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD WORSHIP HIM. less than a "blood sucking vampire feasting on the blood of criminals, and to such an extend has the execu tive branches of law descended that the entire moral element in the city backed up by the churches and minis terial associations have served notice that pamplets will be issued all over the United States, cautioning peop against going to Portland either for pleasure or for trade. The religious press of the United States combined, threatened to be used to boycott the Lewis and Clarke Exposition and we are led to helieve that Portland as . .portrayed by the church element the worst cesspool of immoral filt J. 1 r 1 i -w-w-r 10 ue iouna in tne worm, we are "sorry to see such a pessimistic spirit displayed, becauseunderneat; the'moral turpitude there is the ever propulsive, movement for a higher Mife. The mere fact that the Chris tian element and the ministers are 3 making such a heroic fight for purity - and the higher principles of Ameri can citizenship prove that the city is not quite as bad as painted. At the same time we admire the courage of the men making the fight for civic righteousness and puritv: and the battle may just as well be waged to finish, this year as any other. The fight has to be made in many cities and towns on the Pacific Coast and the quicker municipal reforms are inaug urated by the combined force Christianity against corruption, the better will be the chances for con quest- Timber Land Grafts. For the past ten days the Oregon press has been discussing Congress man Hermann's theory, that the little infers" employed by the government in the geological, mineral, or survey ing corps gave out the information of intended surveys for entry or the location of new reserves. In this way the corporations and timber mo nopolies succeeded in getting the ad- rr; touuige over ine citizen every time. We do not credit the theory and must confess that it looks to us as though the information has every time been given out by men in the general land office or in the Secre tary of the Interior's office. These are the offices where withdrawals of land and the plans for making new forest reserves are discussed. It is the land office and the Secretary of the Interiors office where grafters foist their specious schemes, and to say that, after every plan has been determined upon and heads of depart ments order out their understrap pers and the understrappers have ar rived and are doing their work on the ground, that some farm ers wife or other wheedles from the young men, the government sec rets by giving them a suppose of yel low legged (chicken or any other del icacy is far fetched. But it may be so. It is not the first time that Sampson has been known to play with Delilah's tresses. But how much more reasonable is it to suppose that when the timber sharks and grafters have gotten in their work through the head office at Washington to there obtain the information direct, than through a farmer or rancher who had treated the employees of the government in .an hospitable manner. The whole business of the general land office, and the Secretary of the Interior's office in the opinion of the people of Oregon, reeks with corrup tion's far as the stealing of the peo ples land is concerned. It is the big timber monopolies and combines that f orcesjschemes to be worked in Wash ington, and no man in the Pacific Coast is fool great enough to believe that the information regarding plans for with-drawal of land, or the open ing of land is not given out directly by the heads o' departments. It THE TERRIBLE TURK. lEisf The Christian nations, or rather pro fessed Ghristian nations of Europe are for the past twenty-five years a power ful Mohamedan secret society has been organized in every country of the Mohamedan faith. The Sultan of Turkey as the successor of the Prophet is the head of the order whose object is to extend their religion by making it again to be a religion of conquest. It is claimed that the order numbers 50,000,000 men, even' one of whom religiously and fanatically believe that to be killed in the defense of the faith is to gain immediate entrance into the glories of Paradise, and to have a bevy of beautiful women to be their wives through all eternity. This is the true Mohamedan faith, and it is claimed that the divided European Nations do not want to get into trouble with such fanatical forces. Just as soon as Russia .feels strong enough to withstand the attack of England, Germany and" Italy, t who would defend the bloody Turk in that event, the Czar will mass his armies ' and, driving the allied forces before him, will subjugate Turkey and will establish a government at Constanti nople. There is one thing and one thing only that will drive the Turks out of Europe in the near future, and mat is, tne citizens oi tne various European Nations are awakening to the horrible butchery of the professed Christians bv the Turks and mav de mand that united action be taken against Turkish massacres. It is said that the Knight Templars of the world are getting interested and that a general crusade against Turkey, like the crusades of old, will result. But it is safe to say that, outside of sending a substitute to the war, that nine out of ten of the Knight Templars would be like Arte mus Ward, who was willing to sacri fice all of his wife's relations to end the cruel war, but that he was so patriotic that he wanted to pre serve his skin for home use. The sentiment, however, being scattered all over the United States by the Knight Templars may be the means of the United States taking a hand in the strife. Outside of the Sulu Islands there are no Mohammedans for Uncle Sam to come in conflict with in American territory and this may give a free hand to" this country to take the lead and to.a frreat ex- o tent free Europe of the murderous Turks. A wave of indignation is sweeping over the State of Oregon regarding the action of the Booth-Kelloy Lum ber Company having a man in posi tion and second in line at the opening of a land office at the Dalles, to file on over 10,000 acres of government land with scrip. There were scores of persons in line, but the Booth Kelley man was there with all the papers ready made out and the scrip in hand to wrest from those honest homeseekers and land locators their just rights as citizens of the United States. There were men and women, it is said, in line, who had lived on the land for years and staked their all in trying to obtain a home. They could only take up the land in 160 acre tracts, but once inside the land office the agent of the Booth-Kelley Lumber Company was enabled to rile on their homesteads at wholesale and when ho had handed in his papers there was not a foot of good land for the hard-working and honest home seekers to file on, for all had boon pally man first, last and all the time; and his whole action is in perfect'Hno with the departed .lay Gould, who said: "The public bo d ." What is J. 11. Booth kept in the land office for? Ask people who have lost their homes. Ask people who have been made to vacate their cabins on land that has been located on by virtue of scrip and see what they will say.

And right here we want to enquire what right has Sena tor Booth to be sent back to the State Senate by the republican party? What can the republicans of South west Oregon expect if he is re-elected State Senator and two years hence is a candidate for Governor? Can the people who have been thrown out of their homes by the machinations of the Booth-Kelley Lumber Company rise up and euppuri him? Have his actions in the Senate been those of a patriot, or those of a man who was there for all that there is in it? Take his logging bill for an example; was it not sought to wrest every rivu let in Western Oregon from their rightful owners and place them under charge and ownership of monopolies and combines? Take the fire warden bill, for another example. Did not this bill seek to tax the farmers and laboring men to directly protect the timbermen's lands and interests at the expense of others? And yet such men, by political- wire pullers are made to be the leders of the repub lican party! Is" it any wonder that, as a.check, republicans, vote against their own men and elect a democratic Governor or even let the v.ist right ful majorities fale away like an au tumnal breeze?

Some years ago A. M. Crawford went to Roseburg and was admitted to Judge Willis' office.

Finally, as Crawford ac quired some business of his own, they frequently conducted cases together sharing in the fees.

The facts in detail, as set forth in the charges filed with the bar associa tion, are as follows: . In February, 1SQ4, Judge Willis and Mr. Crawford were employed by an old sea captain, J. T. C.

It was agreed between tho two attorneys that they should divide equally all compensation received from Nash for their services, the I amount of such compensation being left to subsequent 'arrangement. During the three years that succeed ed the attorneys conducted a number of cases for Nash which culminated successfully, so that in February, 1 S07, Nash sold his mining interests for $30,000.
