Sn Francisco, Oct. 12. The fa!lur
of the graft prosecution to put Ab
Ruef on the ttand aa a wltneaa against
Tlrer L. Ford, chief counsel ,of the
United Rallroadn, and the ubequent
disagreement of the Jury encouraged
the group of indicted millionaires, but
the men who know Francla J. Heney
and recall the tenacity with which he
Btuck to the trail of Congressman John
N. Wllliamaon merely amlle and aay,
"Walt "
Ruff waa expected to tell the atory
of how he waa retained for four yeara
at 160.000 a year by the United Rail-
rnnHi Immediately after the labor au
rjervlaora were elected in 1906, how he
got the whole $200,000 within a apaco
of a few months after the fire and
how $89,000 of the "retaining fee'' was
passed along to the greedy supervisors
who demanded nav for doing nia ma
dlnr. Ruef waa not called aa a main
witness for the prosecution, and there
was no chsnce to put him on in rebut
tal. for the defense submitted its case
without evidence. Since the disagree
mrri here haa been much argument In
rluUed in bv the aeneral public, of
which the politicians are now ao
Held Back Bvldenoe.
Friends of Ford, who is the most
popular of the numerous rich men un
der Indictment, contend that Ruef'a evi
(ittnre Would have hurt rather than
hvlnrA the prosecution because he
would have testified that at no time
had Ford or any official of the United
Railroads even suggested to him that
bribery be resorted to In order to bring
about the passage of the overhead trol
ley franchise. Certain supporters of
fhe graft prosecution who know some
thing of the Inside workings of the dis
trict attorney's office say that Heney,
who wss away when most of the Ford
Jurors were selected, learned before the
trial begiin that at least two of the
men In the box were sure to vote "not
gulllv." Therefore, ray the supporters
of the graft prosecution. Heney decided
not to show his hund. but to present
only jiart of his evidence and save
the rest of It for nnother trial.
Whether the foregoing theory la true
or false the fact remains that the trial
Juror heard much less of the trolley
bril rles than vs presented to the grand
Jurors who returned the Indictments
Hgaln.t Ford, Patrick Calhoun. Thorn
well Mulluly and William M. Abbott.
Aside from witnesses like Ruef, who
were within reach, there were three or
four men who "happened" to be out of
the state when Ford was tried. One of
these whs the treasurer of the United
Railroads, another was the merchant
from whom Ruef obtained the shlrtbox
In which he carried off the bundles of
cnrienrv received from the United Rail
roads and still another was the chauf
feur who drove Ruef to Ford's office
on the day he filled the shlrtbox.
ootid Trial Soon.
Soon Ford will face another Jury, his
second trial being set for next Thurs
day, and it Is probable that some of the
missing witnesses will be on hand to
fjlve their testimony. They surely will
e, provided William J. Burns Is able
to reach them with the necessary jia
pers and the present indication!) are
that he will not fail.
The kldnuplng of Fremont Older, edi
tor of the Bulletin, who was seized,
hurried to Redwood City In an automo
bile and put aboard a train for Loa
Angeles, where a charge of criminal
libel had been made against him by
Luther Brown, a detective in the em
ploy of the United Railroads, Is looked
upon as a blunder on the part of the
rraft defendants. Older was taken
off the train at Santa Barbara by at
tornevs. who on being notified of the
kidnaping, got out a writ of habeas
corpus, but If he had reached Los An
geles he would have been released on
ball, even though the amount of se
curity had been made unusually high.
What the conspirators had to gain by
refusing to take Older before a Judge in
thlB city is not apparent
Trouble for Ash.
The grand Jury has taken the matter
up and there is trouble ahead for R.
Porter Ashe and other members of the
kidnaping party. Ashe is an attorney
for the United Railroads. He comes
of a noted family, has served in the
state senate ard was once an unsuc
cessful Democratic candidate for con
gress. The weekly papers, most of
which are rabid supporters of the graft
defendants, make light of the Older
enlsode. Qne of them, the News Letter,
printed a two-line item on Its suburban
page which read: "Fremont Older took
a flying trip through the peninsula one
evening last week."
P. H. McCarthy, union labor candi
date for mayor, opened his campaign
with a bitter attnek on Ex-Mayor
James D. Phelan. M. H. De Young, Ru
dolph Spreckels. Isidor Jacobs and
other supporters of Mayor Taylor. He
charged that Phelan. De Young and
Spreckels had entered into a conspiracy
to combine the money Interests and by
keeping capital In the banks, Instead of
putting It into the work of rebuilding
the city, make work scarce and thus
frighten the worklngmen into voting
for Tavlor. McCarthy accused Jacobs
of using relief funds to rebuild his I
fruit rannerv. which was destroyed in
the great fire. Further the leader of
the labor forces said that his charges
might result in his indictment and cx
nrf.KHf1 . fervent hone that such dis
tinction would be accorded him. In this
he will be disappointed, for the Taylor
men realize that McCarthys arrest
might solidlfv the labor vote, which
now seems to be well divided. Mc
Carthy's only chance lies In winning
back the thousands of worklngmen who
are now telling their friends that they
will never vote for him. Daniel A.
Rvan, the Republican nominee, has re
gun his campaign, but as yet has re
ceived .little encouragement. Another
week may make a change In the situ
ation, but at present Taylor looks like
a sure winner, McCarthy a poor second
and Ryan a distant third.
Business Men for MoOowan.
Frank McOowan. who was put up to
make the fight against District Attor
ney Langdon, has surprised his friends
by' playing up close to the whole labor
ticket Instead of going out and making
a personal campaign. Many merchants
and professional men who are for Tay
lor have declared their intention to vote
for McOowan. but unless he changes
his plan of campaign he will probably
lose the support of most of them be
fore election day. A majority of the
members of the Carmen's union favor
Langdon. because they are anxious for
the conviction of Patrick Calhoun, and
for that reason they have refused to
Indorse the labor ticket, while Indors
ing P. H. McCarthvfor mayor. Mc
Oowan, however, expects to receive
four-fifths of the labor vote and counts
on making up the loss by accessions of
old-time Democrats who hate Langdon
on account of his candidacy for gov
ernor last fall, resulting In the defeat
of. Theodore A. Bell, the Democratic
candidate.
A bitter fight against the Repuoncan
imam .
the state, but the prospects of victory
bring little Joy to the man who knows
what is doing. In the antl-Herrln
rank are many patriotic citizens whose
only object is to free the state from
corporation control. Side by side with
the patriots are ranged numerous at
torneys and political retainers of the
Western Pacific railroad, which has
goe Into politics In order to down its
rival. The promoters of the Llncrtln
Rooaevelt league are doing the best
thev can, but there seems no way of
keeping out the Western Pacific crowd.
A municipal campaign Is now on In
Sacramento, and politicians generally
look
upon
general
It as a battle, not for the
public good, but to determine
whether the Gould or the Harrtman in
terests nhall. hold sway in Sacramento.
Both sides are vehemently "opposed'
to corporations participating In poli
tics, and the dear people will have the
dubious satisfaction of choosing the
lesser of two evils.
TILLAMOOK'S RAISE

county Is raising the assessment on
timber lands. Last year they were as
sessed at $1,800 per claim and this year
have been raised to $2,400. It Is the
intention to increase the county valua
tion from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000. The
levy, however, will probably be lower,
as the court house Is paid for and there
will probably be no Increase in any fund
except the road fund, which is expected
to be raised from $37,000 to $60,000. Til
lamook county levies a cash road tax
and the money Is expended under the
the c
direction of
county court.

Judge's Decision Finds Hill
and Harriman Lines'
Jinking Ugly Faces.
Unless the Hill and Harriman rail
road companies come fhto some ami
cable arrangement for consolidation of
their Inynense freight and passenger
terminals in North Portland before the
first of the year the Hill lines will be
forced to cut through the Harriman
tracks on block 17, Just east of the
Mitchell, Iwls & Staver warehouse. In
order to bring the main line of the new
Portland & Seattle road Into the new
terminal yards of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern at Hoyt street.
A decision made by Judsre f'lelanrt
yesterday, overruling the O. R. & N.
company's demurrer In this contest, was
a point gained by the Hill lines.
The result will Inevitably he that the
Portland i Seattle ninln lino will be
permitted to cross the tracks of the
Harriman lines at block 17 The court
held that It hail the right to phpm upon
the Issues in the case, and that the
manner of the crossing would probably
be left to the Oregon railway commis
sion to cyclde.
The Hlirrlman companies are np
against the necessity of permitting this
crossing to be mode, nnd unless there
Is yielding or an amicable settlement by
Incorporation of the terminals of all
the, companies Into one grand terminal
the trouble may degenerate Into one of
the common battles between railroad
companies that mass locomotives and
earn on tracks at crossing points and
marshal physical force to prevent the
cutting of the rails by rival companies.
The Hill lines have purchased whole
blocks of ground between Hoyt street
and the Willamette river and are erect
ing great sheet steel warehouses, on
concrete foundations, to cover these
blocks. Tracks are being laid through
the new yards, and the connecting of
the main line from the new Willamette
river bridge to the new terminal plant
is contingent upon cutting through the
Harriman tracks. It Is now principally
a battle by the Harrlrruin forces to gain
time.
The sentiment of the business Inter
ests of the city la In favor of a consoli
dated terminal, and- hnrmonv of opera
tion. That the present union passen
ger station Is Inadequate to the needs
of the city is commonly admitted, and
if the present growth is continued a
few years a passenger station of double
the present capacity will he needed or
the present station will have to he re
modeled and enlarged.
Tl.j next move In the legal fight over
the proposed track crossing will prob
ably be the filing by the Harriman at
torneys of an answer to the Portland A

a crossing permit.

R. S. CRADDOCK,
Mining Engineer and Metallurgist
Spokane. Wash, and New York
Mr. Craddock has been in every mining district known,
California, Alaska, Cripple Creek, India, Siam, Japan,
China, Siberia, Manchuria, Russia and Johannesberg.
Craddock says Denny Dulin ores are richer than nine
copper claims out of ten that are operating and making
money right now.
And, that Denny Dulin needs no further exploiting than
to market the immense body of mineral now in sight.
And, that the Denny Dulin mines are a very valuable
property.
For the following purpose and no other: We have
the richest bodies of high grade ores ever
mining: history; only 7 miles from the Bullfroe & Tonopah R. R. All
the capital required for purchasing these valuable mines lias been se
cured and the mines paid for all risks or experimental stages have
been passed. We have laid bare one of the finest bodies of ore in the
greatest and richest mining districts under the sun. We require cap
ital to place the product on the market. For these two following spe
cific purposes only,
TO BUY HOISTING MACHINERY AND
BACK THE PAY ROLL
The Denny Dulin Mining Company is composed of men that make
no promises that are not truth. Will you allow this proposition to
slip by you? Your money will be applied to getting out this ore and
putting it on the market. Yet you share in ownership of these mines
to the same proportion as these level headed, well known men whose
names appear at the head of this list. And they produced the capital
to purchase these great properties.
Just as soon as the product of the Denny Dulin is laid down at the
smelter its stock will go up by lea ps and bounds. For the Denny Du
lin lies bare to the naked eye. Enough wealth in mineral to satisfy
any person that the crop is harvested. Now will you be one
to help us haul it to the market?
POSITIVELY ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT
OF STOCK TO BE SOLD
For when the first load of ore leaves the mines for the smelter the
returns to our stockholders will show the Denny Dulin mines one
of the greatest and most legitimate mining propositions ever offered
an open opportunity in the annals of mining history.
In order to give those who cannot call during the day an
opportunity to thoroughly investigate our proposition by
the ores, full information as to exact location of mines,
the present state of development and arrangement for or purchase of
stock,
NOTE
examining
We Do
WE DO
Present to your judgment a developed, high class cop
per and gold group of 5 mines at 10 cents a share sale
of stock limited.
WE DO
Furnish for your inspection specimens of ores taken from
these mines, showing them to be one of the richest
properties of the most wonderful and productive mining
districts under the sun.
WE DO
Promise to place our product on the market within six
months after machinery is installed.
WE DO
Promise you that no more stock will be sold at 10
cents per share than is necessary to market our product.
WE DO
Promise you ownership pro rata with our investment
Although we bought and paid for all the properties and
all expense with same; also cost of developments, leading'
to placing the mines in readiness to send the ores to the
smelter.
W. B. STEWART, of Portland
Reliable and ever trustworthy mining . engineer, says
Denny Dulin's great asset is, its present ores run about
$75 per ton; net profit $50 per ton. And that there are
two mines shipping from this same immediate vicinity,
big paying properties.
And that, with the completing of the smelter at Lida,
i ir n i i ... : .
seven miles ore win oc a uig paying prupusiuuu
from the Denny Dulin mijes.
Mr. Stewart further says in a letter to the directors: "I
advise you to place a hoist on the mine zt, pnee as it' is
almost impossible to sink to a further depth with the
present equipment. You can then begin shipping ore
almost immediately. There is no question as to the
quality or quantity of the ore. You have one of the
best copper and gold mines I have ever investigated at
the same stage of development. There is no question
about the future success, as the ore is in sight i'waiting
the market.
r
N. B. The Denny Dulin stock is only sold through
the officers of the company.,- We pay no brokerage com
missions o add any expense that is consistent to avoid.
The Denny Dulin Mining Company is, run for profits
for its investors, not as a speculative feature. - ; .
