Lands Through Him.
(rnlted PrtM Leased Wire.)
Washington, April 16. .Testifying In
the government's suit against John A.
Benson and Frederick A. Hyde, accused
of land frauds committed In northern
California and Oregon, B. P. McCor
nack, former presioent of the First Na
tional bank of Salem, Oregon, today
sprung a surprise by unexpectedly ad
mitting; that Hyde openly and freely
secured possession or public lands In
Oregon through him. McCornack gave
a aeianea account oi nis Dusiness rela
tions with Hyde, declared that h
looked after the work incident to the
work of taking out applications by
Hyde's clients. He said he filed these
ppllcatlons In the Oregon land office.

Further questioning revealed the fact
that Hyde had an account In McCor-
nacira bank. An individual led iter In

lime 4. m. ecnneiaer," under indictment
on land fraud charges, while acting for
Hyde, had on deposit more than 122,000,

CUT IN YELLOW PINE
RATE MEANS VICTORY
FOR THE NORTHWEST
News received by private dispatch in
Portland today of a radical cut In yel
low pine lumber rates by southern roada
to Minnesota, Nebraska and South Da
kota territory. Is taken to forecast a
victory for Pacific northwest lumber
men In their fight before the Interstate
commerce commission. The southern
roads have filed notice with the com
mission that May 6 the rates on south
ern yellow pine to Nebraska, Minne
sota and South Dakota will be reduced.
The reductions range from 1 to I cents
per 100 pounds, depending upon the dla-
It Is said these reductions by the rail
road companies handling southern yel
low pine lumber can have but one
meaning, and mat it is m
hv these comnanles that the interstate
commerce commission will restore the
old lumber rates from the Paclno north
west to upper- Mississippi
tory. Nof only that, 1 but It Indicates
that the southern pine men fear that the
Pacific northwest lumber manufacturers
will win their old fight for a 4V-cent
rate to Missouri river points.
With these exigencies In view, south
ern pine manufacturers and the rail
road transportation companies handling
their tonnage are evidently preparing
for the worst that may happen to them
and the best that may come to the
northwest manufacturers. Upper Mis
sissippi valley territory haa become dis
puted ground between the lumber
manufacturers of the regions affected.
So far as ia known here there has
been not the slightest intimation given
out from the interstate commerce com
mission as to what its final conclusions
will be In the lumber rate cases. Proml
nant attnrneva' and men closely con
nected with the fight between lumber
men and railroads are unable to iorm
even a surmise, and decline to venture
opinions on the result. From the action
taken by the southern pine transporta
tion companies it is believed they have
secured the desired information.

Voters of Multao
mah County:
In again calling attention to my candidacy for the Repub
lican nomination for Judge of the State Circuit Court, Depart
ment No. 1, the position to which I was appointed by the
governor to succeed Hon.' Arthur L. Frazer, deceased, , I wish to
say that my time and attention have been so absolutely pre
occupied by the accumulation and congestion of judicial busi
ness brought about by the .enforced holidays of the fall and
early winter, that it has been impossible for me either to fjlan
or to put into execution any campaign to advance my political
interests. Closely confined to the courtroom every day, it has
not been possible for me either to effect an organization of
workers or to see the voters personally, or even to address
them through personal correspondence. During - the three
months since taking my seat on the bench, January 7, I have
personally tried 43 contested cases, some of which hav run
through four and five and even six days, and have conducted
myi court over time and into the night in order to do my part
; toward 'keeping the trial docket from running hehind. Under
these circumstances, I respectfully ask you to accept this public
communication through the press as an adequate expression of
my desire for your good will and solicitation of your support' at
the primaries tomorrow, and I earnestly ask my friends,,to take
time to vote, .
To the vast number of new voters in our county, I beg to-say
that my home has been in Portland for nearly 40, years. I
received my early education in the public schools of this city
and have practiced law here for 18 years. I have paid-taxes in
this city and county for 20 years, and prior.tp this year never
drew a dollar out of the public treasury. ' , -;
As to my qualifications for the office, I refer only to my ap
pointment by the governor, which was made entirely without
solicitation on my part
. . ....
. Very respectfully, . '
