SWINDLED THOSE

Journal Correspondent Exposes Scheme
to Obtain Money From Unsuspect

(Journal Special Service.)
-' OREGuN CITY. Dec. 1. With a United
States Land Office and a dozen or more
lawyers, whose specialty la Land-Office
business, within a few hours' ride, of
J their homes, and against the advice of
omn of the latter, no fewer than 3U
Clackamas County farmers have been
'Skinned out of cash amounting to be
tween $3,000 and $4,000 by one of the
smoothest grafters that ever caught a
bunch of suckers. Even though the well
born, aet-rich-aulck Dlan did Dan out.
-the tovernment would have to be settled

land frauda imaginable. As the matter
stands now those farmers connected with
tjje swindle will probably have a few
- sleepless nights before the matter Is
'aaded.

;; About three weeks ago a young man
:-(Wlth .agreeable nannein and a- smooth
: tongue appeared at Molalla and made
vfclmsalf at noma In the house of one Of
i the farmers. Just because he liked the
ttost, and to show that he - was a good
'fellow, he very generously explained to
-the farmer that he bad struck a good
thing by which he was going to clean up
ft700 In 10 weeks. Of course the farmer
wanted In on the proposition, as did his
'best friends, until the whole village was

necessary to have ready cash. Some few
'had it, but the majority borrowed and
" even mortgaged their farms or homes le

station 60 miles below Roseburg. the first

they gave Jitra $100 cash. As between" SO
auid 40 neonle left their hanuv homes for

tblrd class and can be used fur cord wood
only. After the settlers had remained

would have been entitled to acquire full
title upon the payment of 400 at the
Land Office.
This is where a local land company
cornea Into the- deal This ' oncern was
to advance the money end then when the
title was clear wan to give each and
every man $1,200 for his timber land.
Another batch of Molalla farmers was
to have gone last week, but they were
loo shrewd. They wished to take along
a surveyor, who Is also something of a
timber expert, but the capper objectea,
Klving for his reason
that a surveyor
ould attract ateution and then every
one would rush to take up the long-looked-for
chance of getting something
for nothing. That excuse did not set well
with the suspicious men and they staid
at homo. Mow these who did bite are
wondering.
What or who this land company is can
not be ascertained, but they probably
know the law on such swindles, as no
documents are handled in the deal.
In' filing on a timber entry the appli
cant must swear to the following:
"I do solemnly swear that I do not
apply to purchase the land above de
scribed on speculation, but In good faith
to appropriate It to my own exclusive
use nd benefit and that I have not di
rectly or Indirectly made any agreement
or contract, or In any way or manner,
with any person or persons whomsoever,
by which the title I may acquire from the
Government of the United States may
inure in Whole or In part to the benefit
of any person except myself."
More will be heard of this matter, as
It Is for just such swindles as this that
Oregon has received so much publicity
month. The Oregon City Land Office,
while not under suspicion, as are gome
Lef the other Land Offices over the state
has received Instructions from Wash-
Ington ordering that no more final proofs
I or titles be allowed until alleged frauds
all over the state Can be investigated,
This Is done simply as a matter of pre-
i caution.
ltvi iiim
He Expects to Become a
U Se Senator
Talks Unreservedly on the Growth
of Washington and
Oregon.
Levy Ankeny, candidate for United
States Senator from Eastern Washington,
is registered at the imperial Hotel today.
Mr. Ankeny waa In excellent spirits when
seen this morning and talked without
reserve on the prosperous conditions of
Washington In general and his part of
the State in particular. Oregon was not
slighted in any sense. Mr. Ankeny spoke
on the political complexion of his State,
but would not be drawn Into conversation
touching political affairs in Oregon.
You are as active In politics today as
you were before the State elections, are
you not?" Mr. Ankeny was asked.
"I um going to the United Status Sen
ate If 1 can," he replied. "1 have a good
constituency that will stand solidly by
me. The complex conditions lii Wash
ington make it difficult to forecast, but I
am safe in saying my chances are excel
lent." "As King County Is pledged to Harold
Preston you Will probably rely on Pierce
and Whatcom delegations for some
strength, wlll-you not?"
"Y-es, Pierce County is all right, and I
believe the Northern eud of tha State Is
not unfavorable, and I can only reiterate
that I will go to the Senate if I can."
At tills point Mr. Ankeny swerved off
to commercial subjects. He: said that the
State of Washington waa never more
prosperous, and that he believed that the
Western section was improving and de
veloping more rapidly than the Eastern
portion.
"There never has been se prosperous a
year In Eastern Washington as the one
about to end." continued Mr. Ankeny.
"Never have such crops of wheat and
other grain been grown. Two thousand
homeseekers from the East tiled home
steads In Franklin and Douglas counties
this year. These counties are practically
undeveloped, and you know what It
means to have so great a number of
homesteads recorded. The future of
Washington and Oregon Is assured. I be
lieve, that.' this S,tflte.nas ad.vjMJCd , JWs
year as it has never due before. We are
well advertised. Wo have the goods and
people in the East are coming after
them."
Ah. Ankeny spoke on educational mat
ters, and said the schools of Walla Walla,
his home, were full to over-crowding, and
that Whitman College was never so
popular as now.
In conclusion Mr. Ankeny said that her
had a warm spot In his heart for Port
land. nd that he never visited the lty
but he was surprised to note so many Im
provements. Mr. Ankeny's sojourn In Portland is in
no way connected with business, as he Is
spending a day or two with hla young
daughter who Is attending school here.
GRIN TO BE DEPORTED.
WASHINGTON, Dee. l.-Slmon Grin, a
Russian who has been fighting extradi
tion tn San Francisco on a charge of
embeszling 25,000 roubles, lost his rase
in the Supreme Court of the United
States today and will be sent back to
P.ussia,
CATRON HAY IV'OT GO.
WALLA WALLA, Dec. 1 It is not gen
erally believed here that J. B. Catron will
be dismissed from the position of superin
tendent of the state penitentiary. Mr.
Catron refuses to make any statement
0 til
to do was to get acquainted with tha
secret service officers, who wars with the
Prince's party, also to humor the mem
bers, of his suite. This I did. When the
train arrived at-7:65 o'clock. Saturday
morning, I was there and got acquainted
with. Mr, Taylor, one of the secret serv
ice men. He gave me some valuable
pointers as to the Prince's treatment of
reporters, and as to who composed his
party. I waa also told that the Prince
would not be up before at least 10.'ciock.
"I then left, after thanking Mr. Taylor,
and teturned at :30 o'clock. .1 at once
entered the coach which Is used for a
reception room, and there saw President
8. M. Mears. of the Chamber of. Com
merce, apd General C. F. Beebe, talk
ing with Professor Core, a friend of the
Prince, also with Mr. - Darnell, tourist
agent of the Pennsylvania Ra'llroad, and
Mr. Taylor, the secret-service man. Later
British Consul Laldlaw cam In and was
Introduced all around. After exchanging
greetings and stating the object of their
visit, the gentlemen were Informed -by
Professor Oore that the Prince had not
completed his toilet, but that when he
was at leisure he would telephone to
Oenrral Beebe.
TALK WITH rnOFKSSOR GORR.
"The committee then left, leaving me
alone with Professor Gore, Mr. Darnell
and Mr. Taylor. I then told Professor
Gore that I would like an Interview. His
answer was that he was doubtful, whether
I could get It or not, as the. Prince was
averse to being interviewed the only in
terview given by the Prince In the UtiUed
States was that given to a Ssn Frabclseo
paper. My answer to Professor Oore was
that I must get the Interview and that
I did not wish to get a frivolous one
about American girls or social affairs
but that I wanted a purely commercial
talk, as the West, and especially Port
land, was Interested In Oriental trade
and how to secure it.
"At this Juncture we were Interrupted
by the entrance of a young man of about
17 years of age, with a camera. He said
he wished to take some pictures. As
Professor Gore was speaking to me he
thought it would be rude to leave roe,
so Mr. Darnell and Mr. Taylor were pho
tographed by whom I later learned was
a representative of the Oregonlan, A
Jyonvof .ibis idnl)ts jf'-s prl ,'aVbftl
Sunday mornings issue , or tne paper,
, with the caption thar if WSS thS'plcful'e
of the Crown Prince and a secret serv
ice officer. t
A PICTURE TAKEN. f
"After the photographer left Professor
Oore told me that he feared f could not
see the Prince. I remained In the car
for about 10 minutes without speaking or
being spoken to. when Mr. Darnell offered
to take my card to Mr. Loftus, the sec
retary of the Siamese legation at Wash.
Ington. who was one of the head men of
the parly.
UK TRIED IT, HUT COULDN'T,
"At ltt:l"'o'clock I returned and noticed
a reporter of the Oregonlan vainly trying
to persuade a colored porter to allow him
to enter the car. The porter refused, for
the reporter later was standing a few feet
uway from the coaches telling a-group
of newsbovs of his vain efforts. ,
"1 then entered one of the coaches and
peremptorily, ordered one of the porters
to at once hand in my card to Mr,
Loftus. The porter returned and In
formed me that Mr. Loftus would see me
In a few minutes. I waited- (boat tt
minutes, when 1 was accosted by a gen
tleman f pleasant munners, who Intro
duced himself as Mr. Loftus, who told
me that the prince would Bee me hut
that my talk must be on strictly com
mercial subjects.
THE INTERVIEW.
"I was ushered Into the presence of the
prince. There were present three Siamese,
besides the prince, Mr. Loftus and Prof.
Core. The prince told me he was at my
service. The Interview followed and
lasted about 30 minutes, the result of
which was the exclusive article in last
Saturday's Journal.
"In his talk with me the prince told
me that he would not have granted me
an interview, had It not been that I
wanted to talk about trade relations. He
also stated that he was only Interviewed
twice in the United States, once In San
Francisco and that mine was the seoond.
"At the end of 30 minutes' I had np
more questions to ask him. without tread
ing on dangerous ground, so after shaking
hands with him I left the car.
AN ENVIOUS COMPETITOR.
On the outside I was accosted with
the following exclamation by the repre
sentative of the morning paper:
"Hello. Mosessohn. you didn't speak to
the prince: you spoke to his man."
'I answered that 1 did see the prince.
but did not press my point, as I was in
a hurry.
'Reverting to the picture printed In
yesterday's Oregon Ian. the fact that it is
not the prince can be vouched for by
Mr. Mears, General Beebe and Mr,
Laidlaw.
"I do not see how the Oregonlan could
have gone so much Into details about
the prince, when its representative
couldn't even distinguish the difference
between the Crown Prince of Siam and
a secret service official.

When seen at the Imperial Hotel this

In Jdabo and Montana, the same condi

vast number of visitors from Eastern

ever visit us.
WAITING FOR OREGON?
"I want to say this." continued Col,
Parker: "We are waiting for Oregon to
act. The matter of appropriation will
come before the Washington Legislature
in January, and the Governor will in
corporate the subject into his message.
Now, I believe that Oregon should come
out first with her appropriation of $500
000. If this is done there could be no
occasion for the Washington lawmakers
to say 'We don't know what to give until
we hear from Oregon.' The same ques

$175,000 for the Local
Secretary of Treasury Makes Rec
ommendations to Congress to
the Amount of $850,000.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. The Secretary
of the Treasury has recommended to
Congress the appropriation of $173,000 to
cmnplcto the extension of the Federal
Building at Portland, Ore. In addition
to this, there Is recommendation for the
following appropriations: For lighthouse
keeper's dwelling at Cape Blanco, $4,500;
for lighthouse keeper's dwelling at Ya-
f'ulna Head, $4,000; to improve the mouth
of the Columbia River, $550,000; to con
tinue work already begun at Three Mile,
Hapida, Jluo.WO. There is strong prob
ability that these appropriations will be
made :Vs fecdnrmchdtid'. . .
Local powtal officials do not seem to
understand the? reaeOn why the amount
of the appropriation has been reduced.
An act was passed by both houses of
Congress at their last session, appropri
ating the sum of $200,000 for tile. rebuild-'
lug and extension of the Post-Omce
Hullding in Portland. Why and how this
amount has been or can be reduced is
a mystery, as the Secretary of the Treas
ury cannot undo what is passed by Con

MR LAZARUS THINKS DIFFERENT.
Edgar M. Lazarus, the constructing and
designing architect, in an interview with
Journal representative this afternoon.
said :
"1 think that there Is a mistaken idea
as to the $175,000 appropriation. Congress
appropriated $200,000 at its laat session,
at which) time it appropriated $25,000 as
a contingency, and the balance, $175,000,
will be appropriated now. There must
be a general appropriation to start a bill
before It can be completed.
"Work will commence on the addition
to the Post-Ofllce Building Just as soon
as the preliminary drawings, which are
now being made up in Washington, are
forwarded.
"As to the location decided upon by
the local committee where the proposed
monument Is to stand, the question must
necessarily come up before the Secretary
of the Treasury, and I doubt very much
whetfter the Department will accede to
their request. It occurs to me that the
plaza would be much more suitable for ;
a municipal monument man me location
selected.
NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS.
"The Department at Washington real
izes the urgent necessity of Improvements
and It is mainly owing to this fact that
I'M or more publip buildings, involving
from nominal sums to several millions
of dollars, that have preceded and will
follow the appropriation accorded Port
land. "I don'f think the Secretary of the
Treasury will approve of the monument
being placed on the spot selected, as the
addition decided upon will no doubt be
followed in the future by on addition to
the front of the building, and thus mak
ing the building more symmetrical."

ONE ON THE MIXER.
The man with fringed trousers walked
hito the swell cafe and said:
"Gimme a white-apron cocktail!"
The bartender was a- little surprised,
but not defeated.
"Tell me what to put In it and I'll mix
you one."
The stranger named a few choice
brands and after It was placed before him
he drank it down.
"But why do you call It -a 'white
apron' copcktall? ' asked the puzzled ;
drink-mixer.
. "Because it. is on the bartender-.'.'. And
then the -man - in- th fringed trousers
drifted out like an aspen leaf on a No
vember gale.
TRUTH COMES OUT.
"I believe." said the young physician,
"that bad cooks supply us with half our
patients."
"That's right," rejoined the old doc
tor. "And good cooks supply us with
the other half."
