POINTED CRITICISM
OF HUTCHINSON'S REPORT
Careful Examination and Micro
scopic Tests Fail to Show
Trace of Disease.
According to etookmen and State
Veterinarian William1, McLean, incalcu
lable damage has MM caused to the
rattle Industry of the1' stats of Oregon
- by the report of K. N. Hutchinson, who
-stated that herd of cattle near Con
dun was afflicted with mange. Dr. Mc
J.. .in asserts positively that manga did
not exist in the herd
Bitter contentions have arisen among
cattle men throughout the state as a re
sult of the report condemning the herd.
The .attic were owned by K I. Rey
nolds and were In the vicinity of the
town of Condon when the investigation
was made. Mr. Hutchinson reported
that they were afflicted with mange and
forbade their sale or transportation to
the markets. His investigation was
made last August. Reynolds, it is said,
has been practically ruined as a result.
Mr. HntchlnsoiVs report caused so
I much dissension that Dr. H. S. HU-kox.
t the head of the western division of
the bureau of animal Industry, waa
5 called from Bait take to investigate.
Ills report sustained that of. Mrallsrssh
Irrson. HI Investigation. however,
failed to quiet the storm of protest
- that had. Men raised hy cattlemen.
Accordingly an expert from the de
partment headquarters at Washington
was sent to Oregon to investigate. Hm
reached the state two weeks ago and
.'has completed his investigation, but the
result has not been made public. .
Br. MoLean Finos o Mange.
Shortly after Mr. Hutchinson's re
port was made public a request waa
made that Dr. McLean, state veterlna-
- rlan. conduct an examination of the
cattle. He finished his examination in.
October, two month? after Mr. Hutch
inson had concluded his work.
"There was no manga In the herd,"
mid. Dr. McLean today. "I am abso
lutely positive that the cattle were not
afflicted with that disease. Mr. Hutch
inson conducted his examination In Au
gust and I examined the cattle thor
oughly in October. If mange had ex
isted in August it certainly would have
existed in October, unless something bad
been done In the meantime to kill it.
Nothing waa done for that .purpose and
there was absolutely no evidence of the
disease in the herd.
"Mr. Hutchinson was In error. There
, have been other reports, but all I am
prepared to say is that he was wrong
when he asserted the cattle were af
flicted with mange. I was told that the
only examination he made was simply
mounting a - horse and riding through
the hard. Bverybody knows that when
one supposed veterinarian makes a re
port or says a certain thing Is true it
is more than likely that he will not be
.contradicted by another In the same
profession.
Made Thorough examination.
"During my examination, which, by
the way. was made at the request of
many persons near Condon. 1 went
carefully through the herd. 1 took par
ticles of skin whloh were said to be af
fected and brought them to Portland,
where two experts made microscopical
examinations and both faJUd,to And a
trace of the . mtte of mange..
-I did and. nowever, that the cattle
were full of fleas and lice. They were
run down physically, as is common
with cattle that have been ranged as
they were. But ss for finding a trace
of mange in the entire herd I can posi
tively assert that nothing of the kind
existed.
"When the expert irom Washington
came to Oregon to make his examination
he said nothing to me. and it was only
Indirectly that I learned of his pres
ence. 1 the investigation were to have
been made to secure the best possible
results I think he affould have notified
and invited aH state officials whose
duty It is to conduct examinations, to
be present at the same time.
"It Is. of course, impossible to esti
mate the monetary loss to the cattle
men .that resulted from such a report
and It Is equally impossible to esti
mate the loss that will follow such
a blow to the reputation of Oregon
cattle."

William H. Daughtrey. vice-president
and general manager of the Portland
Union stockyards, also declares that
the damage to the cattle Industry ef
Oregon as a result of the report Is in
calculable. n. is fully convinced that
Jr. McLean is correct In his conclusions
and that Mr. Hutchinson was wrong.
"No one will ever know how much
injury such a report has done to the

ell's testimony this afternoon that Bin

pear before the grand Jury. The clos
est secrecy is observed as to the nature
of the questions asked of Mitchell and
Hermann and it Is believed that even if
known they would give no hint as to
some of the evidence which Is in the
government's possession.
The presence in Portland or Her
mann's former private secntary, El
liott Hough, Is regarded axK'especlally
significant, as It is thought he may
give important evidence concerning the
former land commissioner.

Judge Bellinger sustained Mr. Hairs
objection and Ormsby waa allowed five
days, it being further agreed that he
should be allowed to remain at large to

understanding that he would furnish
bondsmen In the sum of 14,000 some time

Sorenson on the Way.
It is understood that George Soren

ably accompanied by a secret service
agent, for the government has been
keeping close watch on his movements.
Dr. W. H. Davis, who is mayor of Al
bany, will probably arrive thla afternoon.-
The whereabouts of Henry A.

Is supposed to be in the east.
The Indictment returned against Orm-'
by. Loom Is, Sorenson, Davis and Young
charges them with conspiring to defraud
the government of its public lands The
charge is the same that waa made
against P. P. Mays.
The main facts which constitute the
basis of the indictment against Ormsby
et si. are familiar to the public. The
fact that Dr. Davla or Albany was in
volved in the transactions of the al
leged conspirators occasioned much sur
prise when it waa published in The Jour
nal several days ago. It la said, now
ever, that Davis made repeated efforts to
get title to lands In township 11-7
through affidavits of settlement, and
that his Affidavits were untrue. His
correspondence with Blnger Hermann
relative to his claim forms a part of the
evidence upon which the Indictment was
based.

MONEY FOR SOME ONE.
Interesting Story of Two Meetings of
Albany stand Claim Holders.
(Special DUpatrn to The Journal.
'Albany. Or.. Dec. 28. Since the land
conspiracy case against the Puter-Wat-son-McKlnley
ring cams to an end by
conviction of the defendants, people of
this city are telling an Interesting story
regarding the action of some of the then
residents of Albany. According to this
report there waa a scurrying of people
who held claims In the Cascade reserve
at the time Inspector C. K Lonrals waa
sent Into 11-7 to Investigate Mrs. Emma
Watson's claims, snd It Is stated that a
meeting was hastily cslled of persons
who held claims In 11-7 but lived In
Albany. One hundred dollars from each
homesteader. Is ssld to have been the
assessment. The money Is ssld to have
been paid over to some one. Some
time after this came another scare. The
land department not satisfied with the
Loomla report, directed Capt. 8. B.
Ormsby, then forest superintendent for
the Cascade reserve, to make an exami
nation. About that time another meet
ing of the Albany homesteaders who
bad consulted before, was called, and It
is reported another assessment of (o
each wss levied to satisfy the demands
made upon them. Some of the home
steaders demurred at that time but the
majority are said to have paid the
money. Of course, most of the land,
have long ago been patented and sold
to others, or scrip taken for them and
used to secure other lands.

It Is understood that the Jury was es
pecially engaged in looking Into the re

his "kangaroo" court.
Considerable talk has been heard shout

116; 'gloves, Si. 10, and for their suits,
IS a yard, the cost of the suit varying
according to the size of the man, from

no specific orders were given to that

officers that it would be well for them
to order their uniforms from a certain
tailoring establishment.
John Murphy waa called as a witness
In the case against Jed Hart, it being
alleged that Hart beat Murphy. dlsflg

gray-haired patriarch, bore upon his
face the marks of a terrible besting, his
eyes being swollen and black and blue.
It was spparent that some one had
given him a severe drubbing.
Another case that was revived today
is one about which there has been much
mystery that of the stealing df tr.oi
from Simon Isaac, a batcher at (7j! Hood

If she might read the paper. Isaac con

knife snd abstracted there from 1190,
of which he got only 1120. Detective
Joe Day was assigned to the cane by
Chief Hunt, and the 1120 was returned

from several counties that they will pre

morning that he believes all the coun
ties will participate.
Mr. Roblnaon Is making the county the

which their schools prepare. It Is his
plan to have the pupils express exactly
what school work Is being done In the
best way possible, but nothing Is being
prepared for special exhibit only.
Everything muat have the essence of
usefulness in the school room.
R. I.. Alderman, superintendent of

once put In operation the plan outlined.
He reports the cltlsens of Yamhill coun

for several days organising the schools.
He snys they have a committee of nine

IN PAYROLL STUFFING
Councilman Who Are Looking
Into Purchase of Supplies
Report Progress.
-On account of the busy holiday season
nothing Is being done by the committees
appointed by the city council to investi
gate (he alleged stuffing of payrolls
of the city engineer's department and
the purchasing of supplies for the city.
The payroll Investigation committee
has accompliahed but little. City Audi
tor Devlin has gathered the Information
demanded and now all that remains to
be done Is to hold a meeting and go
over the evidence which they have
gathered. A. F. Fiegei, the chairman of
the committee says he has had no time
to devote to the Investigation since the
committee was appointed, but he will
call the committee together soon.
The Investigation was Incited by the
discovery that the name of B. Shrake
was on the payrolls of the engineering
department when it should not have been
there. City Bnglneer Elliott had. '. or
dered the man to work but the foreman
had failed to obey his orders.
The members of the council sre of the
opinion that the city engineer knew that
Shrake had not been working and made
a deliberate attempt to stuff tits pay
rolls. Mr. Elliott denies this, stating It
was due to a mistake. . ,
The committee appointed. to Investi
gate the purchase of supplies has a
heavy task before It. It will tske much
time to go over the bills of the past
year. They have the data at their dis
posal and have been conducting the In
