Judge De Haven Will Preside Real Trials Will Commence About June 20 It Is Announced. Portland, June 7. The land fraud cases will be added to the other attractions of the Exposition on Mon day next, when Judge De Haven will begip the hearing of the preliminary arguments in the Mitchell indictment. Wrrd has been received that Judge William S. Gil bert will reach Portland today, and will open court, which has been unopened for so many weeks, and will at that time make the order for the drawing of the panel of jurors from which will be selected the jury that will try Senator Mitchell and the other distinguished defendants whose cases are now pending before the court. Boundary Lines Extended inciud- Republicans, However, Elected Entire List of It is expected that the jury will be drawn in a few days after the order baa been given, and that the men will be in Portland by the middle of tbe week fol lowing, ready to take their places. The jury will be drawn by A. Bosh, the Sa cm banker, who it the Jury Com missioner for the United States Circuit Court; C. J. Reed, the United States Marshal, and Captain Bladen, the clerk of the court, each of whom will select, in tnrn, a name from the jury-box to be pnt npon the list. Judge Gilbert yesterday ordered that tbe dates for bearing the demurrers in the Mitchell case be set for June 12, on Monday next While it has not been of ficially announced that Judge De Haven would reach the city to hear these de murrers, the fact that he is to be the trial Judge having jurisdiction over the land fraud cases, makes it practically certain that he will be present to bear the arguments. At tbe time the demurrers were filed, it was stipulated that they would be submitted on brief to Judge Bellinger, but the death of tbe Judge will make it necessary to have the arguments made before the presiding Judge, inasmuch as there are many points involved of which Judge Bellinger had judicial knowledge from having presided over all the hearings that have been had. This condition will bring Mr. Heney and tbe defendants' counsel before the court on the date set, which is June 12. It will take at least two days to argue the demurrers, after which the court will, perhaps consume a couple of days in framing its decision. It is not thought here, that it will be possible to begin the trial proper before June 20. It is the opinion, however, that once the case is called to trial there will be no further halting until a verdict has been reached. THE MONTANA LAND FRAUDS Helena, Moot., June 6. The cases against R. M Cobban and 53 others, in dicted on charges of perjury and subor nation of perjury in connection with ex tensive Western Montana land frauds were called today before United States Judge Hunt. The government alleges that Cobban induced the indicted per sons to take up lands, and turn them over to him, and that he, in tnrn, as an agent, transferred them to Senator W. A. Clark. The government lias also sned Senator Clark for the recovery of the lands. Lsaiat bw at the Fair. M F Wright has accepted the local agency for tbe Portland Service Co.

PRESIDENT CREATES FOREST RESERVE Washington, Jnne 5. President Roosevelt has signed a proclamation cresting the Maury forest reserve in Oregon. It is located in Crook county, between the Great Sandy Desert and the western exteotion of tbe proposed Blue Mountain reset ve. Tbe original withdrawal for the reserve was 62,470 acres, but on recommendation of tbe Forestry Bureau this area was reduced to 51,360 acres, which were embraced in the President s proclamation.

West and North Koseburg which was embraced in the corporate limits of the city of Roseburg by the new charter granted at the last session of the legisla ture, was formally annexed at tbe regu lar monthly meeting of the city council Monday evening, when the Recorder was instructed to draft an ordinance extending the city boundary lines to in clude this new municipal territory. No reference was made to the recent at tempt of the citizens of West Koseburg to obtain permission from the county court to torm an independent corpora tion, the council proceeding in the mat ter as if no such attempt had been made Under the provisions of the charter, the new territory became a part of the city proper on the 18th of last month Act ion on the petition of West F.oseburg residents for permission to incorporate an independent city was deferred by the county court until its next regular term. Meanwhile the new city charter went into effect and thus the new territory was annexed. In the opinion of a large majority, the new districts will remain a part of Roseburg as it is be yond the power of the county court to annull that which the legislature lias al ready done, should it desire to do so. At a previous meeting of the c unci! a committee consisting of Counciluieu Sykee, Kite and Micelli was sppoiuted together with City Surveyor Roberts to revise the present city boundaries so as to include the two new districts. Mr. Micelli being absent with the written report of the committee, Mr. Rice an nounced that it had been decided to leave the present ward boundaries of the city ss they were and simply make two new wards out of North and West Rose burg, respectively. This report was ac cepted by tbe council and the - recorder was thereupon instructed to draw up a formal ordinance, prearatry to the spisjimoieni oi a councilman truui eat n , of the new wards These councilmen will serve until their successors are chosen at the next regular election. The proposition to buy a dumping ground came up. The committee to whom tnis was referred about six months ago rep rted that they had been nnable to secure a suitable place at a reasonable figure. Upon their own re quest they were discharged from the committee and a new one appointed, consisting of Councilmen Micelli and Svkes. Attorney Albert Abraham appea'ed in behalf of owners of property abutting the river below the foot of Oak street. and complained of the council's lesigna tion of that place as a dumping spot lot garbage. A lengthy discussion followed but no action on the complaint was tak en. Trsaslt aver a Sewer.

Republican votes elected Ir. Ine that is admitted. Perhaps not so much the vote that went to the polls but the fact that the Republicans on the West Side stayed away, did not to vote and left the battle in the hands of those who got out and rustled and got their friends to ballot. It is plainly evident that the in dorsement of Williams by Rowe, Clafkeand Merrill after they had failed to defeat him at the primaries did no great amount of good, for a strong percentage of their following refused to obey their orders and voted for Ir.

Good rains fell in all portions id the Mate duritig the past week, and, while the weather for the most part was cooler than usual, there were spells of inter mittent sunshine, which, taken together with the advance of the season, caused a gradual warming up of the atmosphere, and a general improvement in tbe con dition of all crops resulted. More sun shine ami warmer weather are needed, however, before vegetation can resume a normal growth. The condition of the grain crop is promising, with probably very few ex--eptions. Kali wheat, rye and barlev continue to head satisfactorily. Spring wheat and oats have made rather w growth, but the general condition if these crops is above average. The grain aphis has become quite numerous in Washington, Yamhill, Marion, Linn and portions ot I'ougla.- counties, but as yet the damage done by the pest cannot be estimated, though it is thought to have lieen slight.
