Rogers, the Standard Oil Magnate, Wants to Secure It. Carriages Harness Wagons Robes UNITED 8TATE8 COURT WILL HEAR THE CASE Evidences of Frenzied Finance in Connection with Thie Well-Known Property. illSTUDEBAKER1 The fate of the famous Cornucopia Bold mines of Oregon Is to be determined In a suit for foreclosure In the sum of J 100,000. filed In the United States cir cuit court yesterday by Henry H. Rogers, of New York, who has also asked the court to enjoin sale of any part of the property by sheriffs under executions arising from bankruptcy pro ceedings, as such dismemberment would greatly damage the mines which have been operated as one plant. Should the cOurits finally grant a decree of fore closure. wiiirV .seems not unlikely, the mines would pass Into the exclusive con trol of H. H. Rogers, who Is the active head of the Standard OH company, and who has ' millions of money, some of which he probably will spend In com pletely developing the Cornucopia prop erties by many considered as the most valuable group of mines in Oregon. The Rogers claim against the mines Is In the form of a mortgage on which Is due tM.000 and interest, amounting in all to HOO.eOO. For. the last five or six years the history of the Cornucopia mines has been spectacular. If not prof itable. The Cornucopia group consists of a large number of quarts mining claims, about 00 miles from Baker City. A very extensive plant Is situated on them and a. great deal of ore has been taken out. Early in the year 1901 John B. asanas - - .L. AwnAv .if this srrouD of mines and had formerly oeen ai me of the sugar trust, was forced Into bank ruptcy and the mlnea passed Into the hands of a trustee In bankruptcy. He endeavored to make sale of them, but not succeeding, a plan was finally evolved by which a corporation known as the Cornucopia Mines of Oregon was formed under the laws of New Jersey-, with a capital of 15.000.000, which took over the property and the stock waa held by a trustee. Senator Mitchell, of this stte. and sen ator Aldrlch, of Rhode Island, were on the board of directors. With this cor poration back of him Bearles then went to Europe to make an effort to dispose of some of the stock. But Just at that time there waa a tightening of the money market, and he was not able to sell any of the stock. Meantime some development work had been carried for ward, and a new Indebtedness amounting to about 140.000 waa created. Theso creditors, finding themselves unable to collect the money do them, sued and filed Hens, the company was forced into bankruptcy, the creditors obtained judg ments und the property Is now adver tised to be sold at sheriffs sale under these Judgment. Mr. Rogers complaint, which Is on nie In the circuit? court here, shows that on January 81. 1M1, John E. Bearles and. his wife executed to Rogers a deed on the property In question to secure him as guarantor on a note to the Seaboard National Bank Of New Tork City for $100,000. On August S. 10$, Mr. Rogers was compelled to pay this money, and there Is now due him about $.000 and Interest. In his complaint he sets forth the fact of these various Judgments and executions, the bankruptcy of the Cornu copia Mlnea. the fact that the property Is ordered sold, that the selling of the personal property In separate parcels will result lni total dismemberment of the plant to Als and the propertys great loss, that It)' Is operated on as one plant and should all be sold together. Yesterday the court Issued an order directed to the sheriff and other defend ants to appear In court on November II and show cause, If any. why a temporary restraining order should not be Issued. It la thought that these proceedings will certainly bring to a head aH of the litigation in connection with the Cornu copia Mines and will result either In the reorganisation of the property and pay ment of the debts by parties In Interest, or the property will be sold under fore closure. .ii n .... mwiA Ni-ipn Pout were ar- - ,.. ..!!, fnr M ni SI 1 from J.

Flelsehner of the Lewis and Clark department of publicity received a moat encouraging bit of Information this morning In a dispatch from Presi dent H. W. Ooode. now at St Louis, saying: "I have the Baldwin alrahlp matter well under way." Thla is taken to mean. In view of previous word from Mr. Ooode, that he haa contracted for the visit of Baldwin, the noted aerial navigation expert, to bring his alrahlp to Portland for the fair and give perhaps several exhibi tions. Of all the attractions conceived or a modern exposition, nothing today ap proachea the airship. If Baldwin comes here, aa one of the officials remarked SYNDICATE BUYS VALUABLE SITE Episcopal Church Sells Wash ington Street Block for Large Sum. PRINTING FIRMS WILL OCCUPY TWO OF THE LOTS They Will Erect Modern Brick Buildings at Once and Install Complete Plants There. The Title Guarantee & Truat company, acting aa trustee for a newly formed syndicate of local bualnesa men, has closed negotiations that have been un der way for the last month for the pur chase of the Episcopal Church block on the north aide of Waahington between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. The consideration is in the neighborhood of 140.000. which Is regarded aa a low price for the property. The syndicate's purpose Is to out up the property In lots and dispose of them. Two parcels of the ground were sold to day, one to Bushong A Makwtta, print -era and lithographers, now located at the corner of Front and Stark streets; and the other to Irwin. Hodson dt Co.. lithographers and bookbinders, at First and Salmon streets. Both of these con cerns will erect on the lots modern brick buildings. In which they will establish their plants. It la reported that both of these firms are members of the syndi cate, and that they took over the ground desired by them at a price that la pro rata to the total price of the block. There were alx and a half lots In the block, and at no advance over the syn dicate purchase price, the first two farms to occupy the ground get It for about t.O00 per lot. The deal Is re garded aa marking a new era In the march of the business district up Wash ington. Morrison and Stark streets. "In a ftfir years there will be solid business blocks on Morrison and Wash ington streets to the point where they come together, and this will be a retail district, while the wholesale business will march alongside up Stark street." said a real estate man today. "The growth of the business district of Portland In the laat ten years is no less remarkable than the spread of residence sections of the city. But a few" years ago this church property was bought aa a site for an Episcopal church, and waa looked upon ha far out. The purpose waa afterward abandoned and the church la now being built at the corner of Ev erett and Nineteenth streets." CIO Walter Stark, who was arrested yes terday by Mounted Patrolman Croxford for smoking cigarettes, was this morn Ing turned over to thfc Boys' and Girls' Aid society by Municipal Judge Hogue. The lad Is but 14 years old. but la a confirmed smoker. He haa been expelled from the Highland School for misbe havior and la Incorrigible, according to the testimony adduced In court today. Burt Newton, employed by R. C Red man In a paate factory, started with a team for the PortlarM Flouring mills late yesterday afternoon, but never reached there. His team waa found without him and the case wss reported to the police, who believe be la drunk. thla morning, more visitors will be at tracted by his exhibition than any 10 other features. The whole world Is tslk- lng aerial navigation and the progress made in that direction lately Indicates that by the time the Lewis and Clark exposition Is thrown open tests or tne airship will be much more successful than at present. Mr. Ooode gave no details In his tele gram, but It la assumed that be Is offering Baldwin a big price to display hia flying machine and that he will. If possible, contract with more than one of the experts at St. Louis, and work to the end that a contest may be pulled off. The news of Baldwin's visit waa en thusiastically received at headquarters and is a subject of congratulattona. GOOD WORDS FOR OUR GREAT SHOW Jefferson Myers. Returns from St. Louis Filled with En thusiasm. Sfc 3 . ' - ' OREGON'S EXHIBIT HAS WON MANY PRIZES In Horticulture All Competitors WiTI Be Distanced Exposi tion Welt Advertised. President Jefferson Myers of the state commission returned home thla morn ing after a five weeks' visit at Bt. Louis. He is the moet enthusiastic man In Ore gon over the prospects of the Lewis and Clark exposition. 'The first thing I want to say." said he, "is that California and Waahington. In particular, and all the states. In gen eral, are boosting like fury for the com ing fair. I tell you It makes a man feel good te stand alongside the booths of those states and hear the officers and attendants talking Lewis and Clark. And the people go away talking the aame subject. It looks greet back there. no matter what the knockers say. "So far as Oregon la concerned." eon tlnued Mr. Myers, "the only departments In which awards have been made are those- - of education, agriculture, fish game and livestock, and In each of them thla state haa proven Itself equal to any In the union. It la my opinion that Oregon will receive the grand prises In horticulture and mining. In propor tlon to the money expended, Oregon. Cal Ifornla and Washington will receive more medals than any other 10 states. 'The butter exhibit from here la at trading more attention than any die play In the large agricultural build Ing. It la common to see too people at once surrounding it. "A shipment of 2(0 boxes of apples from Hood River practically cinches the grand prise In horticulture, and even before thoae apples get there, Oregon haa the best exhibit In this department at the fair. The awarding of gold medala to Pacific coaat statea Is worth more than $ 100. 000 expended In the usual forms of advertising. We are go ing to have aa visitors .he very best oeonle In the United States. I talked with hundreds of them who are oomlng here for the show ana wno are aaver- tlslng It from day to day among their acquaintances. It will do anybody's heart good to see the Interest that has been aroused In the eaat concerning the Lewis and Clark exposition. It la bet ter advertised than waa the St. Leuls fair at this time last year." Mr. Myers found a lot of work here upon his arrival and attacked It with characteristic energy.
