AVarned Borah.
Boise, Sept. 24. The government
today revealed its hand in tho case
of United States Senator Borah
charged with timber fraud. Tho
jury was completed at the morning
session and during tho afternoon
Judge M. C. Burch of Detroit spe
cial assistant to the attorney general,
made tho opening 'statement of the
prosecution.
Tho opening address of tho prose
cution in the Borah case was made
this afternoon by Mr. Burch of De
troit, special representative of attor
ney general of the United Stales.
Ho dwelt at length on the details of
the charge set forth in tho indict
ments, that of conspiracy to defraud
the government out of timber lands
by inducing persons to make false en
tries, and asserted the prosecution
was without malice, but would be
carried on without fear or favor to
tho end that no guilty man should
escape.
Burch declared that former Gov
ernor Steunonberg was one of tho
leading members of the conspiracy
and had openly stated he was inter
ested In obtaining timbor land by
causing others to enter claims for his
benefit. Ho induced others to go in
with him, one of those approached
being tho present governor of Idaho,
Frank It. Gooding. There could bo
no reflection on Gooding, Burch
quickly added, because he turned his
Hack on the scheme and declined to
go into It.
Burch connected Senator Borah
with the land transactions only as at
torney at first for Steunenberg and
then for tho Barber Lumber com
pany. He declared Borah interested
himself in all matters having an
outward bearing on tho lands
claimed by dummy entrymen and
turned over to the dummy trustees

Washington, Sept. 24. Taking
advantage of the tidal wave of pro
hibition and local option which has
swept four states Into the total pro
hibition column and 21 into the local
option ranks, the Anti-saloon League
and Its allied forces in prohibition
work aro preparing to wage before
congress next winter a warm fight
for a revision of federal laws on the
subject of tho liquor traffic. They
are preparing to ask congress point
edly why the Llttlefield-Dolliver bill
has been held up by congress year
after year, and they believe that
with 30,000,000 people behind them,
who are now living under prohibi
tion or local option laws, somebody
in congress will have to rise in his
seat and tell why.
For year3 tho liquor traffic ad
herents have been able to thwart the
efforts of the league and the prohi
bitionists. Tho National Association
of Brewers, tho National Liquor
Dealers' association and vailous oth
er organizations have been peculiar
ly alert In this respect, and they
have not been without aid on the
"inside" in congress. Next session,
however, they will have to face tho
most strenuous opposition they have
yet encountered.
Popular Will Nullified.
The chief allegation against the
failure of congress to enact adequate
legislation on the subject of tho
liquor traffic Is that it has tended to
nullify the will of the people of the
states, which have passed prohibition
or local option laws, thereby prevent
ing a fair trial of state liquor laws.
To those who have advocated "a cen
tralization of regulation this argu
ment will appeal most particularly,
because, In respect to liquor legisla
tion, there can be no doubt that the
states have far exceeded tho federal

HORSES OFF FOR
THE ARAGO RACES
F. P. Norton started his string of
race horses for Arago yesterday in
charge of tho men who have been
tralnincr them on the local track.
These horses aro entered in the races
which start at Arago tomorrow and
continuo for three days. Mr. Norton
sends three animals, Headlight, a
threo-year-old runner, Greenlaw, a
two-year-old runner, and Zamoak, a
green five-year-old trotter, of whom
he expects good work. Tho horse
has no mark and is entered in tho
three minute trot and the free-for-all
trot. Tho association at Arago
has succeeded in bringing about the
meeting which promises in every
manner to be a big success. Dally
trains will bo run to meet boats at
Coqulllo'and patrons may return
each evening to Marshfleld.
ahead, the federal government has
been either standing still or throw
ing obstacles In tho paths of the
states. With complete prohibition
in four Btates and local option in
21, while It is gaining a great foot
hold In such license states as Illi
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylva
nia, the advocates of action by con
gress feel they have a strong case.
Make Prohibition a Farce.
According to those who will engi
neer the fight for legislation In the
next congress, tho government has
been nullifying the effect of the state
laws in two ways: By permitting
the shipment of liquor in unbroken
packages from one state to another
and by tho Issuance of government
licenses in "dry" territory. Tho for
mer offense has caused the most
complaint. It is asserted that pro
hibition is a farce and must neces
sarily always bo a farce In any state
Into which, under tho guise of Inter
state commerce, tho federal govern
ment permits and protects the ship
ment of liquor In unbroken pack
ages.
The city council met Monday night
and transacted considerable munici
pal business. There has been an ef
fort of late to have an extra night
policeman appointed in order to bet
ter protect tho city. This demand
arose through several small depre
dations which were kept from pub
licity, but which pointed out the late
tendency towards lawlessness. One
man cannot look after tho night
work successfully, and It was decided
to add another officer to tho force,
who will be an assistant of Walter
Condron. The appointment Is left
with Mayor Straw, though the
council will ratify the officer's selec
tion. The council ordered the work men
tioned some time since, whereby
there will bo a two story addition
made to the present city hall. This
will afford the following conven
iences, which were found to be very
much needed; pollco office, 10 x 12
feet; 3 jail cells G x 8 feet; pump
station and hose rack, all In the first
story; engineer's room, 20 x 20,
council chamber, 29 x 3G on tho
second floor. Tho total size of the
addition will be CS feet by 30, and
when completed will furnish tho city
such room and quarters as have been
required for several years. There
will be another meeting of the coun
cil tomorrow night.
Wiley Tindolph Returns From
Curry County Pleased With
His Treatment.
Mr. Wiley Tindolph, of Mlnne
polis, who came some three weeks
ago to spend several months in
search of health, returned yesterday
from an exteded trip into Curry
county, where he had a most enjoy
able time. Mr. Tindolph, it develops,
is a stockholder in tho Big Jewel
company, of Minneapolis, and which
owns placer mines In Curry county.
Mr. Tindolph is here partly to ex
amine the properties, more especially
to satisfy himself of their value.
While on the site of the mines, he
washed some coarse gold, and says
he Is well satisfied of tho richness of
the gravel down in that territory.
There Is a plan on foot, says, Mr.
Tindolph, to run a dam In the Sixes
at a point convenient to his com
pany's properties and put In a pump
ing plant, so that the mines can bo
operated during the whole year in
stead ofonly a part of tho time, as
is now tho custom. Mr. Tindolph
came here as an experiment, and
says he has felt fine ever since ho
has been here. Ho now. is thinking
I of locating here permanently. His
impulse to make thl country his
homo has been suggested to him by
Dr, J. G. Goble, tho well known
optician, of Mdford, Ore., will visit
all Coos Bay towns during Sept,
For dates see tkls paper later.
SAYS MARSHFIELD
IS GOING SOME
Samuel Goldsmith, a Portland
commeiclal man, who makes most of
tho northwest territory twice each
year, Is on Coos Bay and expresses
great surprise at tho wonderful de
velopment which ho observes as
current In Marshflold. Mr. Gold
smith says there are three cities In
Oregon which aro making wonderful
progress In growth and building en
terprises Eugene, Medford and
Marshfleld. Of tho three, he says
Marshfleld Is leading by a largo mar
gin and the evidence Is apparent on
every hand. Since Mr. Goldsmith
travels extensively and knows, what
ho Is talking about tho citizens may
take It that Marshfleld is going
some.
EARLE'S AFFINITY
SEEMS ANNOYED
New York, Sept. 24. So much an
noyance by her neighbors' curiosity
that she cannot endure a small town
longer, Ferdinand Pinnoy Earle's
affinity, Miss Julia Kuttner, has ar
rived in New York from Bethlehem,
New Hampshire, to remain until Mrs.
Earle gets her divorce In France and
sho Is free to marry the artist-poet.
"There is no truth in tho story
that Mrs. Earlo has decided not to
suo," she said. "Mr. Earlo and I
will bo married. This is definitely
settled.""
Astoria, Sept. 24. Seeking from
3,000 to 4,000 laborers for the Cop
per Itlver & Northwest railroad of
Alaska, Labor Agent Phillip Wll
llums of tho company was In tho city
yesterday establishing a labor office
In the John Harvey building at 279
West Bond street. Tho office will
open this morning and will bo in
charge of Harry Lord.
Tho railroad Is being built from
tho new town of Katalla by the Gug
genheims, of mining fame, and will
run from that town to Senna, some
forty-miles into tho greatest copper
district in southern Alaska. Includ
ing the branches of the road to be
built for the purpose of tapping the
rich mining districts, the road will
consist of between four and five
hundred miles of track.
In addition to tho rond the com
pany Is building a $3,000,000 break
water at Katalla, which will employ
a largo force of men. Tho wges for
tho men In all branches of building
will run from ?4 a day and up for
common labor. Tho men will work
for 40 cents an hour for ten hours
and wlH bo paid for overtime If they
desire to work more than ten hours.
Mr. Williams stated yesterday that
oxcellent board and sleeping quar
ters will be fuVnlshed tho men for ?G
a week, ana lie is entnusiastic over
tho good fcod accommodations pro
vided. The location of tho new railroad
is 100 miles south of Vnldez, whero
they will work all winter. The fact
that the extensive building opeia
tions aro in tho southern part of
Alaska, allows tho work to go on all
winter without a break, and the labor
agent assorts that the winters are
mild in that section. There aro al
ready 2,000 men at work on tho road
and efforts to secure three times that
number aro being made. Considera
ble advertising for labor In tho east
is being done.
Contract work for tho building of
lumber mills, electric light plants,
station work, rock, dirt, ties, bridge
and numerous other lines of achieve
ment In tho building up of an on
tlrely new section, aro allowed by the
company at profitable rates. M. K.
Rogers Is In charge of these exten
sive bulldlnK operations and It is
claimed that there aro thousands of
chances for laboring men to break
Into contract work for thomsolves.
Shlpmonts of men will bo made
from Seattle, which Is a four day trip
to tho harbor of Katalla, which Is
open all winter. Two or three boats
a week leavo for Seattle and tho mall
Is regular. Two or threo ships a

tlon to tho United States senate as
ho has said ho will, Francis J. Heney r
declares ho will como to Oregon and?
tako the stump against him.
Whllo on his recent visit to Port
land the fiery Callfornlan confided tol
several friends his intention of tak
ing a hand in Oregon politics, in tho!
event tho man who he asserts has
opposed him and his policies in this
state should again ask tho people o;
Oregon for political proferment,
Rumors that Mr. Heney entertain
ed such designs havo been in clr
dilation for some time. Even before
tho last coming of the famous prose
cutor stories to that effect were rife,
and they received confirmation at tho
hands of Mr. Honey himself whllo
here.
Senator Fulton's relations, politic
al and otherwise, with tho leading i
lights of the old ring, which long
reigned supreme in tho politics of
tho state and ultimately became in- 1n
volved In tho land-fraud expose and $
tevoral other things, of which It is i
understood tho prosecutor has moro 4,
or less knowledge, aro said to bo I
things In tho abstract which Mr. "
Henoy will talk about from tho '
stump, in case ho should feel called Ji
upon to go into the fight. i
Tho fact that Mr. Heney has i
threatened to turn tho shafts of his -
oratory on Sonator Fulton as a can
didate has served to heighten tho -J
hopes of other aspirants for United
States Senator, and it is leniomber
er that Mr. Honoy, among others,
called on tho prosecutor In his brief
stay In Portland, but In tho light of
all this It Is not understood that
Heney's antagonism to Fulton is of
a political nature. While ho was tho
right-hand man of tho President and
the arbiter of things In Oregon, Mr.
Heney kept out of tho political em
broglio and sawod wood. He spared
neither Republican nor Democrat,
but prosecuted both with equal vigor.
Tho primary campaign will open
next Spring, but Just when Mr.
Honoy will come or exactly what hla
tactics will be are yet In tho dark.
All that Is known Is that Mr. Henoy
has said that If Fulton Is a caudidate
to succees himself ho will take, tho
field and opposo him and the work
ing out of this throat remains for
tho development of ovents botweon
now and next Juno.
If Heney takes the stump It is be
lieved Fulton will fight back. His
regard for the noted Callfornlan Is
no less vehement than that of Honey
for him and moreover, his political
fortunes will bo at stake Heney's
methods of public address are famil
iar to tho peoplo of Oregon and If
tho expected comes to pass, tho noxt

ises to be tho most spectacular In Its
