Through a statement made by a person ; directly concerned, the name of Portland has been dragged into a mystery both terrible and deep. This city may have been the plaoe where , Frank Btlrtan,' a wealthy real estate dealer of Philadelphia, was murdered by the slow torture of eruclfUlon. Most strangely has he dis appeared and although friends and rela- tlvea have searched for him In very nook iii nnnmim .

Mr. and Mrs. Prank Sttrtan lived hap plly in their little Philadelphia home, v Thii husband wu a lndoreman and when a new order came along and requested his ,. membership, he joined. This new order was the Martlnists. After initiation - Btlrtan declared the objects of the asso- elation to be impure. Ho renounced the order and exposed its secrets. From that time, so It Is alleged, bis doom was sealed, , n . , MTSTERIOU8 VISITORS. At an hours of the night so declares lira Btlrtan, who has for the past two years been searching high and low ts find a trace of her missing husband, . mysterious summonses would come and her liege would go forth to participate in secret conferences. One of these was held in their home and the trembling woman crept down the stairs and lis tened at the parlor door. In faltering tones she heard her husband say: . "Well if it must be so, It must be so!" ' flharrj and determined came the rentr . , from an unknown man, "There Is no pos 1 aible escape." -After the visitor had gone Btlrtan told his wife that he- had fallen under the ban of the Martlnists and was to be cru- ; dried. - HE DISAPPEARED. t Shortly after that time Btlrtan went down town to hi office one morning and never returned. After waiting two days, the fearful 'Wife began an investigation. -- She found her husband hurt irnna to thA home of C. F.

Together these two men had proceeded to Vine land, N. J. A colony of Martlnists reside at this place. When questioned regarding the disap pearance of Btlrtan and bis connection with it, Bllllman -admitted having ac companied him to Vlneland, and declared the two hard slept together at a hotel In that place. It was Bllllman that brought out Portland, Or., as the actual scene of Btlrtan's disappearance. The latter, Bllllman declared, had told him he was unsatisfied with conditions as he had found them and he was going toward the West. Later he had received a letter from the man. That letter was dated at Portland, Or. In it was the statement that other letters had been written. his relatives and friends tolling' of his where abouts and Intentions. " ' SEARCH MADB. The Philadelphia police and several of the large Kastern newspapers took up the aarch for the recreant husband or the murdered man and every possible effort has been made to untangle the skein of fact and fancy. The Martlnists disclaim any knowledge of the whereabouts of Btlr tan and say they have no rule which re quires that traitors be crucified. It is possible that Eastern detectives are at ttie present time in this city working to discover the location of Btlr tan or to ascertain whether the alleged letter was ever mailed througa the Port land postofftce. ' Meanwhile the mystery remains un fathomed. , SALEM NEWS NOTES, . SALEM, bse. iO, n the supreme court, yesterday afternoon, the case of the State, of Oregon, appellant, vs. Geo. W. Davis" et al., respondents, was ar gued on. ..appeal. , -.The - -'came ..!,. tlttt brought by the state against the bonds men of Ueorge W. Davis, at one time clerk of the State Land Board, for the recovery of the amount of the bond, $5,000. Davis, It will be remembered, retired from office In 1898, after his books had been experted at the legislative ses sion of 1896, and declared correct. At the session of 1901, the books were again examined and Davis was found to he short 1 nhls accounts some $31,000. When this suit was brought in the lower court against the bondsmeo, Goorge O. Bingham and E. P. McCormack, the court tuled that the statute of limitations had run against the state, and recovery on the bonds at this late date was out of the question. Secretary F. I. Dunbar Is preparing the capltol for the legislative session, by having the entire structure, thoroughly eleaned and renovated. - The woodwork of the Interior Is being painted, and the oil cloth floor coverings are also being cleaned and oiled. The entire structure Is being placed In readiness for the meet ing of the solons. Charles D.

(Journal Special Service. ) R1PAK1A, Waah.. Uee. lu- Although there has been a great deal of delay and many rumors concerning u-ouim-tween the O. R. N. Cu. and the Noi th. ni Pacific, everything in uihi ' tit h ihiw cleared away and it is announced here that work of actual ronstrui-llon will no taken up immediately after the holidays. The Lewiston extension has long been surveyed and piles of construction ma terial are In the specially built yards here awaiting the arrival of workmen. These workmen will come Immediately after the Chrlxtmas festivities and the Hue up the Snake River will be com pleted In time to haul the next years wheat crop out of the valley. Many engineering parties have been stationed along the right of way for months and the report that work is soon to begin is given out by members of these. They claim to have received their Information direct from department headquarters. MORE TIE COMING. Although there has been a large num ber of ties on hand here for months. It Is declared that other shipments will bo made within the present week, and the reserve accumulation trebled. There are now more than 80,000 ties at Klparta. These are exposed to the weather and are checking snd being otherwise severely damaged. There is plenty of side-track for the handling of building material and this Is to be put to immediate use. . The tracks can be laid to Lewlaton, Idaho, within Reven months from the time of the beginning of work. That is the estimate made by contractors after looking over yie ground. There will be considerable grading to bo done and much of the traek will have to be laid along the edge of the river after the overhang ing rocks of the bluff have been blasted away. NORTHERN WORK. There has been much controversy out side of railroad circles regarding tb part that Is tn be played by the North ern Pacific In this road construction. It was announced by Mr. Harrlman months ago that the Hue would be used by the O. R. & N. Co. and the Northern Pacltio Jointly. It is the general belief here that In ex change for use-of' the Oregon railroad lines, the .Northern will build feeders into several of the fertile valleys trlbif tnry to the main line and thus corner the transportation of a section that has ever been completely shut off from the out side- Wirt Id. f He rruaue 'or tne' auc tions will be hauled down the Columbia River over the rails of the O. R. & N. AN EXHIBIT OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS Opens This Morning at the Public Library. The exhibit of children's books opened In the children's room of the Portland Public Ubrary this morning. The librar ian has brought together the choice edi tions of some of the best books for young folks, to help the buyer In making a suitable Christmas selection. It is ail very well to give a child a book meant to Instruct, but If It dues not appeal to him It Is always thrown aside unread. In this collection there are Interesting volumes on all subjects. Picture books for wee-little tots are on a table by themsitlves: a-hulf dosen of f auldecott's clever rhymes anil pictures, the Brownie Books, . and Kate Oreenaway's lllustra- ton of Mother Goosle. Fiction ts well represented, from Gertrude Smith's stor ies for small children ts thff old-r"Sohr, Halifax, Gentleman" and "Little Wo men. One really exquisite ming is Demlng's "Indian Child Ufe," with full- page colored plates but one has less trouble In makliiR selections In tills field. Under animal storiex. of course Thomp-son-Seaton and Kipling lead. Kipling's Just So" stories are nicely gotten up. In science there are numbers of choice books, but the most popu lraare "A. B. C. of Electricity," and "Experimental Science," by JHopkins. History, biogra phy and travel la quite complete. Indian stories are eagerly asked for. The li brarian's Idea of bringing "Louise Al cott's Life and letters" Into this list is a good one. In games and sports the manual training boys ask for "Jack of All Trades." "What a Girl Can Do" ap peal to their sisters. "Little Cooks" has been, slipped In for the home-loving girl. There Is a wealth of" fairy tales and legends. Old Grimes and Uncle Remus rub backs with Brooks' "Story of King Arthur." Baldwin's "Golden Age," . and Charlei Kinglsey's "Heroes of Greek Fairy Stories." Music, "art, government, religion, ethics, dialogues and plays are nut forgotten. In the division of poems and songs a new volume of Isaac Watts' songs are arranged for children and quaintly Illustrated by Mrs. Arthur Gas kin. Bide by side with this Is a well-worn Copy of Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses." And for out-of-doors there is such a list of authors as Blanchan, Arnold, Gibson, Burroughs,, Merrlam, Chapman and Keeler.- EARLY RECORDS OF JAPAN. (The Athenaeum.) Dr. Murakami, of Tokyo, has left Eng' land on his way home, much delighted with the results of his three years' search In the archives of the Continent and England for material Illustrating the early relations between those places and Japan. His late visit to Seville, Siman cu and Madrid gave him -some-very val uable documents. Including one detailed account of the Japanese court and coun try in 1609 by a Spaniard who was then wrecked off the coast and had to remain In the Island a year before he could get. home. Several early Japanese letters" to Europeans were also iound by Dr. Mura kami. He hopes to print his report to hie government in English' as well as in Ja panese. One rekson why The Journal has rapidly gained circulation is that It le the .only paper In Portland that dares to print the news. Officers Wefcomed by Local lodges.

Grand Sec retary Alfchhelm then addressed those present on the benefits derived from and the good dona by the order. EULOGIZED JJAN BUCHNER. lit. Aschheim Introduced his remarks by saying that he missed the smiling face of many brethren who have passed Into the great beyond, with special men tion of Brother Dan M. Buchner, past district deputy, who was one of the lead ing B'nai B'rith Workers in Portland. The grand orator, Kev. Dr. M. S. Levy, followed Mr. Aachhdm'a address with a most eloquent oration on the good of the order. Introducing ,hls talk with his Im pressions of the beadty and products of Oregon. Continuing 'his address. Rabbi Levy spoke of the condition of the Jews in Russia and Rourhanla, stating that the mission of the Independent Order B'nai B'rltB was to ameliorate the same, and further addressing those present, he said In part: "In this direction I see how mech good can be done by the independent Order B'nai B'rith. Mere you have a society representing tens ' of thousands of the Jews throughout the -world with a ma chinery prepared to do splendid mission ary work in behalf of the spreading of our undying principles grounded in Benev olence. Brotherly Love and Harmony, wtth its beautiful symbol of light. What might ndt this society accomplish If it had among Its faithful supporters en thusiastic, loyal, courageous men of Is rael. ' . INSTITUTIONS FOUNDED BY THE I. O. B. B. "It has founded orphan asylums, and rohools, and hospital. It Is dealing to day most wisely with, that most serious problem of assimilating those of our peo ple, who are born ,on- the Continent of Europe, and who come here to seek lib erty. The Tndepndent,Order B'nai B'rith can do more to- -afweajdthe- knowledge and alms and hopea of Judaism, can gain more through respect or that which Is good and noble than any other organiza tion known to me today. It can become the most efficient social aid and give the fullest aid to the pulpit and religious school work of all the organisations called into existence at any time by our co religionists. "The work of the order Is Of such an ennobling character that It demands and should receive on all sides that, measure of support to willed, Ms record and its alms entitle It. By means of just such an organization In Israel may be helped to carry on his direct mission and strengthened In his noble purposes.'" DR. VOORSANGER SPEAKS. Rev. Dr. Jacob Voorsanger followed the grajid orator's address with a strong ap peal to the members to consider the order not for mercenary motives, but for benev olent and charitable purposes. He ex pressed his desire that in addition to the great amount of good already done by the order, that each and every member shall cunsider It his duty to. do the best he can for the etn-iiKthenlng and perpetuat ing of the same; thm the order was never more needed in Israel than at the pres ent day. and that in unity there Is strength. GRAND SICCRETARY INTERVIEWED. Grand Secretary Aschheim, In an Inter view with a Journal representative, said: -."Wc are,- aiOUs.. the. .co-operation of the Jews at laixe. young and old, and expect them to afflliite themselves with the oroVr and strengthen' Ita hands In the work It has undertaken, namely, that of assisting the poor .Icwlsh Immigrants who are driven from their homes on account of their faith to become self-supporting and useful and honorable citizens In the end. "It Is true that up until now the order did not get that general support to which it was entitled, particularly from among the rich, but that was to be accounted for by the mistake that was made In de claring the endowment or insurance fea ture the predominant one. "It has never been the policy of the leaders of the district, nor Is It now, to recede from any obligation It had under taken when the endowment feature was first Introduced. On the contrary, It has always been their aim and object to put the system on a more solid foundation so that It would stand the natural wear and tear of time, instead -of tinkering oh It "at every s ess l fin of the', grand lodc.-: but notwithstanding their desire to guard the financial interests of the members, they respecfully decline to make this the more essential pan of the Alpha and Omega of the Independent Order B'nai B'rith. "In that respect they differ , some what from the old members of the rank and file, but that they cannot help, because they view the order from a different van tage ground." BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

Lit tle else was talked of in legal circles in Baker yesterday, and the lawyers are worked up over the matter. The Journal interviewed every practitioner at the Baker City bar. who la in the, city and without exception the reply was that Judge Eakln is giving entire satisfaction to the attorneya There is a demand for the creation of the new district, but a part of the plan is to have Judge Eakin move to Baker City and continue as Judge of this district. , A PURE FABLE.

He recognized at both the upper camp and in Baker City a number of very tough characters whom he remembered as having been members of the Seattle tough element. The de tective said -that since the gambling houses In the Sound City had been closed, a large number of thugs, grafters and "sure thing men" had been forced to leave that town and they had poured down on Portland and from there had scattered to the smaller cities of the state. Baker City and Sumpter seem to have received an allopathic dose of this' class of gentry, and an epidemic of hold ups is expected.
