The Marion con-ity grand jury was convened vester ly for the investigation of extensive land fraud i i the school lands of Ore gon. It is estimated that seven-eighths of these lands have been fraudulently acquired, and ' hat the state oi Oregon hn been swindled out of hundreds of ih usands of : cres by gigantic frauds that extend over a period of many years. Methods used are said to be similar to those alleged to be practiced by the Hyde-Benson ring, application being made through fictitious persons or dum mies, titles thus being acquire! through perjury. It is said many people prominent throughout Oregon are inter ested in these frauds.

The abject is to gather and place on ex hibition the wry best jossible showing of products and resources of Douglas county. Efcil work must be done at once as the fair will open in less than M days from this date and this exhibit must be in place by the opening day June 1st.

GRAIN AND FRUIT PROSPECTS PROMISING All nature is smiiing again in South em Oregon The storm of a week ao : has brnlen away and given place to warm, eei.ial sunshine, and vegetation, refreshed by the thorough soaking the grouml ha- received, i magically re ' sponding to the favorable conditions. ProSe'ls wee never be'.ter for bumper hay and grain crops in the I'mpqua riv er valley, while general crop cot ditions are most ex client. Fruit prospects in general in the val- : ley are not believed to have been ma teriaily injured thus far and to have emerged from the recent combat with the rain king in first-class shape. All reports so far received say there has been no perceptible damage to the apple crop in any portion of the valley, '-. or to anv of the hardier fruits. y i TWO ATTEMPTS HADE TO WRECKS. P. TRAIN Albany, Or., April 3 Two dastardly attempts were made last night to wreck the overland train due here at midnight. During the evening a freight train bound north, when about two miles out of the city ran onto a pile of ties on the track placed in such a position that the overland, due from the opposite di rection, would have been wrecked by striking while running fast. The freight engine was partially derailed, but soon placed on the track and continued on its way. I. ter Charles Cooper going home from church found another pile of ties on the track about half a mile from the city. Officers here notified made an examination and found a sec ond obstruction on the track a mile far ther in a deep cut. The obstructions were removed and a watch kept on the track by the chief of police, sheriff and railroad men. When the overland came, near midnight, on passing the place where the obstructions had been removed, several explosions similar to shots were heard. It is sup posed they were torpedoes placed by the freight crew, but the railroad men claim they were shots and several emp ty shotgun shells were found on the track. It is supposed to have been an attempt to hold up the train. Five Hasdrcs Dollars Row. The Southern Pacific company will pay Five Hundred dollars reward, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any one of the persona who maliciously placed ties on track at pri vate road crossing two miles east of Al bany, April 2, 1S05. signed) J.

Miss Dasorah Saylee, the daugh ter of Frederick S. Sayles. the late cot ton king of Rhode Island, has spurned two Italian noblemen for the love of Rev. Frederick B. Hill, assistant pastor of the Congregational church, in which the Savles familv holds a membership. The wedding is to be in June, and it is said that in addition to bringing dis mav to the Italians, the ceremonv will bring heart pangs to two New York men of wealth, who were fascinate 1 bv Miss ayles' wit and beauty last summer in Europe. Two years ago Miss Saylee told her father of her love for the young preach er. Her choice was approved, but ayles, however, advised the girl to go abroad and test her affections. The girl went to Europe, but the memory of the preacher lack in the United States rendered her heart invulnerable to the wooing of the various men she met 'here, and the returned satisfied with and will stick to her fir.-t ehoitei WET TICKETS ARE WINNERS F:ugene, April 4 Yesterday the entire wet," or "citizen's" ticket, with the exception of city recorder and council- men from the First ward was elected. The successful candidates were: Mayor F. M. Wilkina. Recorder B. F. Dorris. Treasurer Frank Reisner. Conncilmen First ward. T. II. Gar rett, Second ward. L. O. Beckwith. Fourth ward, S. 8. Spencer. At CetUfc (me One of the sharpest contests ever witnessed in a city election was pulled off here Monday. There was three tickets in the field The law and order ticket, business mens ticket, and citizens or wet ticket. All published elaborate platforms except the latter, which won out by a good ma jority, as followa : Mayor R. M. Veatch. Recorder J. E. Young. Treasurer II. Atkin. Conncilmen W. A. Hogan, J. B. Bar tells and W. C. Johnson. Asked regarding his policy toward saloons, Mayor Veatch said that saloon would receive no more favor than other persons. He favors ownership by the city of pub ic utilities, and says he will use all means to give a good adminis tration. When questioned why the ealoon ele ment gavefa demonstratian last evening, he said he had nothing to say, except that he knew nothing of the ce'ebration till it was under way. The fact that the saloons and gambling resorts paid the band for music is taken to show that they do not fear the new Mayor. Mr. Veatch, in hia other two administrations legalized an open town, and such is ex pected to be the case for another year. The saloon ticket elected all officers, except one, councilman Hogate, for the First ward. The saloons are decidedly in power. In his speech last night, ex-Mayor Medley appealed to the people to stai.d by the new Mayor. About two-thirds of the people here will do so, and the others will fight him.

The magnitude and splendor of the and guys. The heaviest log weighed 85 Lswis and Clarke exposition when at the zenith of its glory can now Ih; readily contemplated by a trip to the fair site, where thousands of dollars have already been expended in the grading and ter racing of the grounds, erection of great imposing white buildings which have sprung up as if by magic, the construc tion of beautiful promenades and drive ways ; placing of statuary and building of docks and bridges. The wonderful work of the expert landscape gardeners in forcing shrub bery and plant life and beautifying the grounds is remarkable. Many magnifi cent buildings are completed and work is progressing on a half doaen more great imposing structures. All of the buildings are Utterly covered with elect ric lights, as well as the trees in the parks, the ballastradec on the promen ades and "the trail' ' across the beauti ful Guild hake, which will make the scene one of dazzling brilliancy at night. Work is well advanced on the Massa chusetts state building. As soon as the 200 Filipinos arrive work will commence on the Filipino village over the lake. State hiMiifs Striata u. Work on the Idaho building, for which the contract was iet to the Bur rell Construction Company, Saturday, began in earnest Monday. Negotiations for the Utah building contract are going on. Missouri and Illinois are expected to start buildings soon, and as the time for opening the reposition draws near, the grounds present a scene of more ac tivity. The rush is expected to be so great towards the end, when the work of installing exhibits will come up on top of that of completing buildings, that there is some talk of raising tke admis sion price to 25 cents. If this is done, it will be with the di rect intention of discouraging visitors from coming to the grounds. It is also suggested that the grounds will be closed to the general public for about a week I before June 1, though the governing board I as taken no final action on eith er proposition as yet. Construction work began also on sev eral concessions Monday, and others aie expected to begin during the week, as well as several private exhibit palaces, of which one of th? moat prominent will be that of the National Cash Register Company.

It ! will bring manv times that value hack nto the Pacific West in the increased Imputation and commercial develop ment which is now onlv beginning to j ow toward the wonderful region dis- overed bv Lewis and Clark. It is not a log cabin, but an exposi tion palace, containing the largest logs 1 ever placed in any bnilding. It is a mammoth structure, American in de sign, beautilul in appearance, ami won- lerful in the materials of which it is constructed. There is no region in the orld outside of the Oregon country where such a log palace would be possi ble. It is 206 feet long and 102 feet wide. nd raises to a height of 72 feet. In its construction two miles of live and six foot fir logs, eight miles of poles. 43,000 r shakes, and 30,000 fir bark shingles were used. One log stands near the main entrance which has a diameter of sevenMeet, nine inches. It required a total of 112 horse-power with engine, block and tackle to raise these immense logs to their places. Twelve thousand feet of wire cable was used for hoisting TRANSIENT TRAVELER ROASTED ALIVE IN ROSEBURG have ms Name as at a.f Iowa Fell in a in an Epileptic Walter Hayes, a transient, who gave Ollie, Iowa, as the home of his parents, was found face downward. directly across a bed of burning coals over which he had rolled while in an epileptic fit, Tuesday morning by (leonre Protzman. The scene of the fatal accident was at the "hobo camp" about 100 yards south of the Rose burg brewery in an old clay pit. Protzman pulled Hayes out of the fire and observing that he was uncon scious and terribly burned on the body and face, he hurried to inform the authorities of his discovery. The unfortunate fellow was removed to Mrs. Ketchell's hospital where his burns were examined and dressed by Dr. Twitchell who pronounced them fatal. From his own story, which he told after regaining consciousness, he must have been in the fire for at least an hour when discovered. He stated that he was subject to epilep tic fits and about six o'clock Monday morning was attacked with one while lying beside the fire which he had mjuo, ai! nan ilium ui ike p. .ice m 111c rate of 90 feet per minute. In the history of the development of America, Iowa formed its greatest pro duA, corp. into a palace; Minnesota built a palace of ice, but it remained for Oregon, greatest in forest resources of any state in the Union, to build a pal ace of logs in a region of the most won derful scenery known to man It will indeed tie an eye-opener for an F'astern visitor to come into a realiza tion of the immense wealth stored np in the forests of the West. Oregon alone has 300,000.000,000 feet B. M. of stand ing merchantable timber. This is a much greater amount th bv any other state in the Union, and is nearly one-sixth of the total amount of standing merchantable timber of the United States. Out of a visit to the Forestry building will come the consciousness that Ore gon has timber from which homes may i be built for countless thousands. Then. too, in a region where such trees grow is found a climate where nature furnishes every need of civilization. Great Sctak leasty. In a half day's visit tothe fair grounds last Saturday the Plaindealer editor and wife were greatly impr ed with the mignitude of the undertaking and the great amount of work already accom plished. The site selected is one of the most beautiful, commanding and pic turesque on which a like exposition was ever held and is sure to delight all east ; ern visitors with its grandure and great : nature 1 scenic surroundings, including ' Mt.

A spur track is being built on the Government peninsula at the fair to facilitate the unloading of exhibits con signed to the government buildings. A wildwest stiow is announced for the "Trail." For participation in the at traction bands of Indians are being assembled at Law ton. O. T ' Geronimo, the famous Apache warrior, will be one of the aggregration. Work upon the "Trail" is progressing rapidly. A number of new buildings have been started. Long before the Centennial, the amusement thorough fare will invite public inspection. Utah has decided to erect a building at the fair. The structure wiii cost $15,000 and will occupy a commanding site just north of the New York building on l.akeview Terrace and overlooking (iuilds lake and tlie government peni i-f-ula.

In his convulsions bo rolled over onto the fire and lost his senses. He knew no more until being carried to the hospital. His clothing from his chest to his feet had all leen burned away, exposing to view a blackened and blistered mass of flesh. Under the influence of opiates, which Dr. Twitchell was obliged to administer to relieve Hayes from the agony he was enduring, the injured man soon fell asleep. How ever, it was apparent from the first that recovery in his case would be little less than a miracle and on Wed nesday he died from his terrible in juries. Deceased was about 2 years of age and was buried here at the ex pense of the county today, which was in accordance with his expressed de sire prior to his death. It was his wish that hus father who resides at Olhe, Iowa, be not informed of his death until after he was buried here It was a sad case. THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL TOUR President Roosevelt left Washington Monday evening on his long talked of Southern and Western journey. His special train is comMsed of three cars. In ttie party betides the President were Secretary Loeb, General S. B. M. Young. Ifr. Alexander Lambert, Lieut. G. R. F'ortesque, one of the President's aides , M. C. Late and J. L. McOrew, stenographers to the President; H. A. Stachmeyer, photographer and repre sentative of the newspaper press asso ciations. The trip is being primarily made to enable the President to attend the re union of hi old regiment, the Rough Riders, which is to be held at San An tonio, Tex., Friday, and to hunt big game in Oklahoma and Colorado. In cidentally the Presieent will deliver not able addressee at several places en route. His fiist important stop was at Louisville, Ky., where he was the guest of the city for a few hours. He then went direct to St. Iouis, and thence via the M. K. AT. railroad to San Antonio, stopping at several places on the way, among them Sherman and Dallas, Tex. After leaving San Antonio the Presi dent will go to Oklahoma for a wolf hunt, and will proceed thence to Colo rado to hunt big game in the mountains. Unless it should be necessary on account of unforeseen circumstances to curtail the trip the President will be absent from Washington about two months. Definite'plans for the trip after he shall leave Oklahoma have not been made, the purpose of the President being to adjust his plans to the conditions as they may exist at the time. While he expects to be in the wilds of Colorado for a considerable time, he will be in constant touch with Washington by means of couriers to the nearest tele graph station, and thus will be enabled to attend to such important business as may demand his personal attention. NO LIBEL, SAYS THE GRAND JURY The grand jury, after quite a thorough investigation of the matter and after listening to the evidence of a number of witnesses summoned to appear before it returned "not a true bili" against J. V. Robinson, who was bound over by Jus tire Milton Berry after a preliminary hearing upon the charge of criminal'. y litteling Mayor H. S. FIvans of A?hiand Robinson had given bonds in the sum of $Jt3 for his appearance and was on hand when the grand jury convened at Jack sonville, with witnesses, as wm also Mayor Evans and a number of witness es. The charge of criminal libel preferred agwmst Robinon was an incident of the warm municipal election in Ashland in December. Robinson, who operated a "blind pig" r.ear the depot, circulated an affidavit alleging certain business re lations with the Mayor in connection with the stock and fixtures oi the place, which the Mayor resented, and as a re sult Robinson was arrested and deposit ed in the city bastile, and at a prelimi nary examination was bonnd over to answer to the circuit court. The un pleasant incident has now been closed and it is to be hoped will not be revived -Tidings. MILLER PLEAD NOT GUILTY Portland, April 4 Harry W. Miller was brouglit into the United States Dis trict Court this morning while the grand iu y was waiting to receive instructions from Judge Bellinger, and after waiving th" reading of the indictment again-t him entered a plea of not guilty. His caie will tie set later. He is a member of the notorious firm of Miller A Kin cart, accused of many fraudulent trans actions in Southern Oregon He also got into trouble in California in much the same way, and for some time hat been in tail in San Francisco on account of not being able to furnish bond in an indictment charging him. with illegal op erations in the vicinity of Redding. Kincart was likewise indicted with Mil ler, but has been fortunate enough to furnish bail. Miller is confined in the county jail here, and plainly showed the marks of his long detention by the Gov ern ment. COMES FROM KANSAS GIVES HIMSELF UP Portland April 3. E. D. Stratford, formerly a special agent of the interior department, who was indicted by the federal grand jury, in connection with the laud frauds, walked into the United States marshals office this morning and surrendered himself. He has been in Eldorado, Kansas since the indictment was returned, and reached Portland yesterday. "My name is E. D. Stratford," he said, as he walked into the stive this morning. "I hear that 1 have been indicted and I want to give myself up." He was arraigned, Winds were fixed in the sum of 4,000 and he was permitted to go to Eugene to secure bondsmen. Stratford !was indicted with officers and employes of the Butte Creek Lum ber company foi alleged irregularities in connection with land frauds that were committed near Roseburg He had been detained by the interior depart ment to investigate the alleged frauds and made the trip to Roseburg It is charged that he was met there by rep resentatives of thecompany and induced to report to the government in a way that covered np the frauds. He has tin -lushed bonds PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROSEBURG CITY COUNCIL Remonstrances Holds Up Street Improvements A. N. Orcutt Appointed Recorder Injured Firemen Voted $50.00 Each. At the regular meeting of the council Monday night, remonstrances were read against the proposed improvement of all the streets embodied in the pro gramme, and the plans of the citvcoui -cil, formulated over two months ago, Vi improve five streets in the city of Rose burg, have come to naught. The re monstrances effect the improvement of the following streets : Main From Lane street to Moeber. Rose From Spring Alley to Mosher street. Stephens From Washington street to Mosher, thence south to Rice street. Lane From Kane street to Sheridan. Fullerton From Mosher street to Hoover. All the remonstrances were accepted, save the one irtaining to that part of Stephens street extending from Mosher to Rice street. The council was not sure that the necessary two-thirds of the property was represented by the signatures and referred the remon strances to the street committee for in vestigation. Under the charter these remonstrances prevent further action by the streets affected for six months. The remonstrances were the outgrowth of a feeling on the part of the property own ers that there is too much "red tape" in the city's methods cf doing the work which incurs unnecessary expenses to the property owners, such as adver tising and fees for an attorney to draw up ordinances covering assessments. The latter complaint was prompted by the fact, previously shown at the meet ing in a committee report, that for the recent improvement on Pine street, the property owners had been over-assessed 85.40. This sum wid be given back to them. A NEW RETORT) KK The resignation of H. L Marsters, as city reorder, which was presented at the March meeting, was accepted and, upon suggestion of Mayor Hoover, the council unanimou-ly selected as his suc cessor A. N. Orcutt, of the local law firm of Fu'.Ierton k Orcutt. The new recorder was brought from his office to the council room, where Mayor Hoover administered the oath of office. Mr. Or cutt immediately assumed his duties, which at that hour consisted of record ing the minutes of the council pro ceedings. He preluded his work bv a brief speech of thanks for the appoint ment.

In making his motion, Mr. Micelli, as an ! ex-fireman, took occasion to highly en I logixe the work of the local fire depart ment and severely score the council and ' the pnblic generally for what be termed , a shameful lack of appreciation when- ever any financial aid was aaked.
