How About the "Square Deal?"
Matt Sijota of Kernville was in To
ledo yesterday defending his right to
his homestead on the lower Siletz. He
brought with him as witnesses George
S. Parmele, Edward C.J.Smith, Joseph,
Albert, John and Mike Sijota, Bruno
Knoliuski, James C. Robertson, Law
rencaSyajna, Andrew Wisniewski, Jack
Smietana and Jobs J. Fogarty.
When be arrived at the Clerk's office
: he found that the Government had in
definitely continued the case. .
To show how manifestly unfair the
Government bas been in dealing with
Mr. Sijota, it will be remembered that
' the charges were filed against him by a
special Government agent abont two
years ago. Mr. Sijota made application
in October, 1900, for a bearing on the
ohrges. The Government neglected
or refused to set a date for the hearing,
I lit Anally served notice on him to ap
pear at the 'Couuty Clerk's office on
January 30 at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m.
Mr. Sijota brought all his witnesses
and came to Toledo at a great expeuse
ajid inconvenience, only to find that
the case had been continued. Tbeie
is no question whatever but what the
charge of thegovernment was absolutely
falBe, as talking with any of the wit
nesses would Show this.
In the first place the charges were
trumped op by an enemy of Mr. Sijota
who lives near him in Kernville pre
clnot and who furnished the special
agent with false evidence. However
the government is to be severely cen
sored for its delay and neglect, even
though the charges were true. Mr.
Sijota was entitled to a hearing within
a reasonable length of time, and it was
the duty of the government to have
notified him In plenty of time that it
had continued the case. Couuty Clerk
Wade took down the affidavits of all
the parties and tiled a motion to dis
miss the case, We will now see wheth
er the 'square deal" which we bear so
. much about applies to Lincoln County.

Portland T&it Beat Jamestown.
That a successful exposition can be
held on the Pacific Coast, that the Al-aska-Yukon-Paojflo
Exposition, which
will be held at fJfaitle in 1908, has every
chance of Mai n artistic, educational
and financial; fuwess, is indicated by
the attandanec figures of the Lewis and
Clark expOHltidb held at Portland,
Oregon, in l&O&pitb those of the James
town exposiUori held at Norfolk, Vir
ginia, in 1907itf
The official statement of admissions
for the Jamestown exposition for the
exposition period shows a total of 2,814,
452 people wuCf- flicked the turnstiles.
Portland's tota attendance was 2,554,
848. or 289,691. less than Jamestown's.
But Portland', paid admissions were
1,589.808 against Jamestown's 1.401,109,
or 187,449 mot. Portland only bad
965,990 frse ttd missions, whereas James-
town had 1,443,043.
When the sise, cost and population of
the surrounding country in which the
two espcs!t! irere held are taken
into consideration, it can be easily seen
how successful tbe western exposition
was over the 'eastern one. Portland
was a comparatively small world's fair
as compared to Chicago.and St. Louis,
yet it drew about 120,000 persons from
east of the Rcky mountains. Princi
pally, most of these people came west
to see the country and incidentally the
Lewis and Clark show, which was the
maguet. The Alaska-Yukon Pacific
Exposition will have the same drawii g
card behind it. The cost of the Port
land exposition was far less than that
of Jamestown.- The Government build
ing aud exhibit at Portland were valued
at about ' ,800,000. The goverment
spent about $2,600,000 at Jamestown.
The most startling thing about the
success of the Lewis aud Clark exposi-
.v. k V. 1
tion was the fact that it had only about ,
l,800,000.perjple.withiii a radius of 500!Pion oi me meeung mai a couniy
miles from which to draw its attendance
whereas Jamestown within a radius of
of 520m ilea hid about 39,000,000 people.
Also Portland ran1 for only four and a
half mouths. ile Jamestown was open
for seven mouths x
Portland was able to pay back 20 per
cent lo 'iti stockho'ders and was en
tirely Jut of debt by the middle of the
exposition; Jameatowa will not pay
back anything and is hopelessly in debt
to the United States. Government.
Heney Makes His Charges-
Last Tuesday evening, to an audi-
! ence of 1400 people, in the First
Congregational Church in Portland
Francis J. Heney made known the
i charges "against Senator Fulton,
which 'he! 'said some time ago he
! would make known to the public.
Here they are in brief:
' That Charles W. Fulton was Sen
ator Mitchell's sack-holder and dis-
tnbutor of funds during the legisia-
tureof 1897. ;
I That Fulton used his influence as
State Senator as attorney for the
I Astoria & Columbia River Railroad
and corporations, as United btates
' , ,
Senator to prevent enforcement of
laws that he was sworn to uphold
and to protect his friends from in
dictment and prosecution. '
. That he bought votes outright
during the "hold-up" legislature of
1897.
That in 1899 he did his utmost
iri rlfifput iustifie and nrevent the en-
;...,. . . i ;j. JU4
ting the land frauds as attorney for
the Hammond lumber interests.
That his connection with shady
land deals continued after that time,
particularly in 1902.
That, he agreed ' with Senator
Mitchell to shield Brownell from
prosecution by the reappointment of J
Hall as United States District At
torney. That he represents the interests of
the railroads and big corporations
at Washington and not those of the
people.
It is now up to Mr. Fulton to
prove the above charges untrue,
and ye believe he will.
