"In the face of all this evidence," Mated Judge Bears, "the defendant did ot take the stand to refute or deny the statements regarding his brutality. . take it they were true. But If he had taken the stand and testlBel falsely in that respect. I could admire perjury un cor such circumstances."

Move for Clean Jurors 1$ Praised District Attorney WiD Lend Assist ance in the Crusade Now Being Waged. Dlstriot Attorney Chamberlain Is greatly pleased wtm the attitude of Sheriff Storey anent the weeding out of all professional Jurors, with which Multnomah County has been greatly menaced. The announcement of Sheriff Storey, made exclusively by The Jour nal laBt night, caused much comment and not a Utile concern among those who have been in the habit of sitting on Juries for a livelihood. The publication, coming direct from Sheriff Storey, created a decided sen sation, and there was a noticeuble ab sence of certain hangers-on at the Court House today. There Is not the least doubt but that the Sheriff means every word he aald in The Journal last night, ana the Interview struck terror to the hearts of the professional Jurors DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLEA8KD. District Attorney Chamberlain, when seen by a Journal reporter, expressed himself as pleaaed with the utterances of Sheriff Storey, and said: "I have only admiration for any one who will make an effort to stamp out the disgraceful practice too many men have of trying to sit on Juries as a means of livelihood. If the Sheriff can accomplish what he has set out to do, he will have performed a greut thing for the benefit of the people of Mult nomsn County. ' ". "I was greatly pleaded when I read what Sheriff Btorey said In The Jour nal, and it Is unnecessary for me to state that his efforts meet with the hearty sanction of my office. Any man who can secure good business and pro fessional men for juries wlll.o'o a great and lasting favor to his constituents. I hope the effort will be crowned with entire success." AN OLD TBOT'BLE. Sheriff Storey Is not the only man In his position who has had trouble with professional Jurors. Every Sheriff of Multnomah County has had til con tend'wlth the same troublesome ques tion, and many have Irled to figure how they eould rid themselves of the unde slred cIums. ' . Sheriff Storey will make it a special duty on all occasions to see that all Jurors for special venires are not pro fesslohals. " NEW INCORPORATIONS. ?

SNAG6ING W THE RIVER The government snagbont Mathloma Is now operating between Albany and Cor vallls. having completed the removal of the worst snags In the river between Sa lom and Albany last week. In all It has removed over 100 snags between those two cities during the last week. It is especially important that this part nf the river be thoroughly cleared of snags. Boats between Portland and Cor- vallis travel at night and can meet with an accident because of snags. This- was the case with an O. R. & N. steamer a few weeks ago. This steamer lost her stern wheel and was otherwise damaged. GENEROUS CHRISTMAS GIFT. CHICAGO. Dec. 24.

All Oregon vs. Multnomah, Xmaa, 2: JO. Mr. Knapp Wires From St Louis Agricultural Committee Selects SiU for an Exhibit Meet ing Next Week. Word has been received by Chairman Mills of the Legislative committee of the Lewis and Clark Fair, from Special Com missioner Knapp, stating that he visited Governor Oockery of Missouri, who re Quested him to return in January. Mr. Mills wired Mr. Knapp to do as Governor Ooc-kery requested. SELECTS A SECTION. The agricultural committee of the Lewi and Clark Fair accompanied by committees from the State Agricultural College and the Farmers" Congress, vis ited the fair site and selected a section of land for the agricultural exhibit. The committees met at 246 Washington street previous to going and Inspected a map of the grounds, brought by Paul Wessinger. chairman of the alte com mittee. Those who visited the site were: Messrs. Willis. Cooper. O'Shea, Wessinger. Killin. Withycoinbe, West, Foreman anil Weeks. The seellon selected is that formerly occupied by Chinese gardens, as the ground here Is very fer tile. There was some talk regarding the addition of a livestock exhibit In connec tion with the agricultural exhibit. This will be brought up before a meeting of the directors of the fair next week. President Corbet t has requested Otto Schumann to visit tli quarries at the mouth of the Snake River and ascertain whether granite can be obtained from there to build a monument to commem orate the exposition. FOOTBALL SPORT. BT DB. WYLIE O. WOODBTrFT. Football is a rough, hard and scientific grime, but here and there in its warp and woof of its entanglements, a streak of humor will shine in effulgence to offset the dreary monotony of the trial and troubles attendant upon the requisites of training. I cannot think of football without recalling an incident that hap pened to one of the ,-Hig Four" In 1S94. All teams Jealously guard their playing systems, as carefully an the skeleton In the closet Is hidden from the world's gaze. This, team In question had emis saries out,, keeping tabs on the routine of another team. Wherever they went to practice, . the -spies were fvund peer ing over the fences. Finally to show that there was no hard feeling, the coach of the besieged eleven made out a complete set of the signals ami for warded them with his compliments to the coach of the other team. On the day-of the gume the team that secured the signals received the great est setback in their career. SIGNAL SCIENCE. The signals that a team Intends to use should never disturb the fears of an opponent, as the possession of them mean nothing at all and are a great hindrance to any player possessing them. In the good old days it was worth a lot of money to see such old time play ers as Furness and R. Harding Davis perform. They played opposing ends and as their blood wanned would in variably get Into n row. One day Davis took a handful of mud and plastered it in one of Furness' eyes. Furness dug out the mud and said: See here, if you don't look out I will put you with Jeff Davis." Davis Jumped into the air, knocked his heels together and an swered: "I'll knock off your blamed old smokestack first, Mr. Furness." After the game they helped to paint the city various hues, and I guess when morning came It would have been hard for them to have told which owned the- smoke stack. Play hard, win fair. shake hands and always be mends. That should be every football player's motto. MATRIMONIALLY FREE. Julia Barnes was .granted a djvorce from Josiah Barnes this morning by Judge George, on the grounds of deser tion and non-support. ' The couple was married S4 years ago and for many years everything went along smoothly. Lately, however, according to the evi dence of the plaintiff and her witness, her husband began to drink heavily, since which time he has failed to sup port her or her children. Ten years ago he deserted her and has never returned. OFFICERS ELECTED. Oregon Lodge, No. 65, I. O. B.

IOL A. J.. KILL1 SATE I "Oregon has the greatest future of any state In the I'nlon. When one comes to consider the small poulatlon of the state and that with this it produces be tween $24,000, Ouo and $30,0,00 worth of wealth annually the balance is far In the state's favor. As her population Increases, which t4U,Jeat a rapid rate, one can only siA-ulateasvto the great ness of her future and Hie immense wealth that she will produce," MM. THEOOOmB WILCOX I 'The future of Oregon depends en tirely upon the efforts of her present and prospective population. While a great deal of Oregon is taken up by the mountains and the grandeur of the scen ery there is ample territory left to make a great commonwealth, provided the inhabitants will work In unison to that end, I h.ive been out of Oregon a great number of times during my 25 years' residence in the state, and I have always returned better satisfied than over to take my chances on the future of Oregon than In any other territory which I have visited.'' Mm. A. L. MOXI.ZX: "Our undeveloped and tremendous tim ber, mineral -mid agricultural lands, and other resources, make Oregon one of the most attractive utates in the L'nion in which young men nyty locate and em bark in business: where there is an ab sence of the mottled competition and the completely occupied enterprises in the older states. The influx of people the past year plainly indicates that onr population will be doubled In a short time. If financial depression should come It will affect us less than any-other section, from the fact that the Lewis 'and Clark Exposition will pro vide employment for men and give Ore gon axforward movement while business may be.jjelaxlng in other countries." MB. M. F. IDXBIILL! "That the future holds great things In store for Oregon there can be no . doubt, if her people take advantage of the opportunities that are theirs. "Agriculture always has and always , will be one of our 'great resources be cause it offers employment-that Is more or less profitable to nearly every one. but it Is from manufacturing, mining and the building ' and extension of "railway lines that We can. have the greatest results from our efforts. "For many yearB nearly all of those who essayed manufacturing In Oregon. any but thalmpletit things, as lumber and flour, seemed doomed to disappoint mcnt. byt of late years with the Increa ing population and better transportation facilities, this has changed and great prosperity along these lines Is In store for us. "The same, thing Is also true of mln Ing and the building and, operating f railroads, for we have reached the point where both are profitable when skill fully managed. "Commerce sometimes precedes these things, but always follows In their wake, hence1 the merchant and the banker 'it-Ill continue to find profitable use forithef talents and capital." KB. J. H. TZILl "Oregon Has an area of about one hundred thousand square miles, most of It tillable, much Of it rich in mineral, and thousands of square miles covered with the finest timber in the world. Our northern boundary line Is the no blest river on the continent, heading prophetically toward the Orient with its teeming millions eagerly waiting for our products. On the west the bays of the Pacific afford outlets for Its com merce. It is watered by navigable riv ers and beautiful streams. The climatic conditions are varied and most favorable to physical development. The foregoing are facts let each reader be his own prophet. Let the great advantages of this state he generally known and the population will increase faster than even the most sanguine dare now to hope. It seems to me that the future Is lighted for us with the radiant colors of hope." " MORE RIGID INSPECTION. , WASHINGTON. D. C.

It has been decided to Increase the number of Inspectors on the border, for the purpose of keeping out not only Chinese, but un desirable Europeans. The November re ports show that more Immigrants cross ed the line west of the Sault than east of It. Commissioner Sargent today an nounced that he had appointed eleven additional inspectors for the border, among them Ed Heustls of Olympian Wash. One inspector will be stationed at Victoria, one at Vancouver and one at ClovenLiie. The others will be along the Manjlba and Asslnlboine borders. A SCORCHED CONGRESSMAN WASHINGTON, Dec U.

It has been gen erally rumored here that Mr. Coman's visit South was in the Interests of the reported extension toward Seattle - and Puget Sound points of the Southern, but this is not admitted at the offices of that road today. .. - Simultaneous with the return of Mr. Coman comes the announcement that ad ditlonal cars have been secured for service on the Oregon division of the Southern Pacific and -that fiatcars will be at once placed at the disposal of the mill men and lumber shippers. It has long been the policy of the company to serve first those wholly dependent upon their lines, but rush shipments have so far subsided that special effort put forth by the officials of this division enabled them to obtain more cars. This antouncement will be greeted with Joy by timber dealers whose business baa been tied up for some time. ALL SHIPPERS . SIGN AGREEMENT The information given to The Journal a few. days ago .concerning the refusal of Kppinger & Co. to sign the Gralnhand lers' . contract proves to have been un founded. The information came from a member who was formerly on the com mlttee looking after the matter, and it was supposed to (be perfectly reliable. The farts In the case, however, are that Manager Smith, who represents Kp ulnarer to Co. and Glrvin A Eyre Co., signed the agrement In full, but before doing so delayed the proceedings !oT enough to communicate with the same firms which are also doing business In Pan Francisco. As soon as the contraet wis referred to the San Francisco inter ests and approved by them Manager Smith signed the agreement, and all is now harmony at the Irving dock.

He is unknown to any who have seen him, and It may be a long time before be will be Identified. Whether or not his name Is Thomp son no one knows, but that Is the name he cave the officials at the jail. He was placed In his cell about 10 o'clock this morning, and since that time he has made life a burden for all other occu pants of the Jail. He Is never silent, but continually screeches and yells like fury. His language is something fierce, being composed chiefly of what the small boys call bad words. FOUGHT THE DEPUTIES. The chief toplo of the Insane man's ravings this morning was that he was a rich' man, and had but to call upon any of the prominent merchants of the city, and they would lend him all the cash he desired. He called frequently for a hack, saying he would bear the expense himself. He fought like a demon while being taken to his cell, and it required the combined efforts of three husky deputies to land him behind the steel bars. To a Journal reporter he stated that he had been a cowboy for many years, and that he was married and has a wife much younger than hlmsr-lf. Of course his remarks cannot" be taken for the truth.

X SALEM LOOKS ON AT PRESENT "How is the political situation?" rWhat is 'the Senatorial outlook?" are questions that are fired, a broadside at a time, these days, at every man who puts "Salem" after his. name on a hotel register. W. 11. Leeds, a prominent; business man of tbat city, thinks thisr assumption that just because people come from Salem they are politicians is" unwarranted. He confided his opinion to a reporter for The Journal this morning after he had been asked some thing to the above.
