Thomas L. Qreenough, president of the United Railways company, accom panied by Morlta Thomsen, one of the directors, came to Portland today to make an Inspection of the construction work under way between this city and Llnnton. They wint out to Llnnton during the morning and continued the trip over a part of the line to HUls boro. This road will be built via Llnnton and Forest Grove Immediately1 and from Forest Grove It will be continued westward. The promoters do not say positively what routs will be taken Mr. Oreenough has already said to The Journal that the ultimate destination of the line Is Tillamook. It Is believed tlie Wilson river route has been se lected. A large force of men and teams are at work between Portland and Llnnton. From that point the Cornelius pass will admit them to a series of rolling val leys west of Portland, and they will run through a rich country of farming, fruit raising and" dairying the entire distance to Forest Urove. west rrom mar. point the country Is well settled for miles arid when the line reaches the timber U will open up a vast lumber manufactur lng region that will furnish all the ton nage the road can handle. All through the Tillamook country there are large stock and dairy ranches, scattered through the hills and valleys. With the advent of the railroads these industries will rapidly increase. The sol! is rich and deep, and the country will rank with the richest agricultural parts of Oregon as soon as the valleys are denuded or tnetr timber. Dr. William II. Pavls lof Albany and Clnrke E.

In the case of Loom la Judge Becker ; naked the court to suspend sentence b I cause of the fad that the guilty man I would In nil probability lie a witness in land fraud canes yet to come. Mr. 1 Davis was fined IS00 bv the court, iinnn the motion of Judge Becker that the rine he placed at a nominal sum. Loomis Is an ex -special agent and was one of the men who was used by the Filter land ring to aid In the fraudulent acquisition of government lund. Using his yfficlHl position corruptly he passed favornhly on many claims which he knew to he fraudulent. Dr. Davis Is one of the well-known cltliens of Albany and was at one tlmi) mayor or the city. He was indicted vvith the others for conspiracy and an additional Indictment for perjury was returned against him. This indictment was dismissed today upon motion of Judge Uocker. In discussing the case of Dr. Davis judge Becker said that he considered that ihe defendant had acted hastily rather than corruptly in the "matters with which ha was charged. It seemed to Mr. Heney. Judge Becker said, that Ihe government had been mistaken In part by some of the evidence used i against the defendant in securing his indictment. In view of the good Char acter of tho defendant previous to the time of his Indictment and- the fact that this wti the only thing ever charged against him, Judge Becker sug gested that the defendant had Buffered. He said Dr. Davis had been the victim of hard luck, and because Mr. Heney considered that there was doubt that the defendant had ever intended to do wrong suggested that the fine be nominal. In passing sentence Judge Wolvertnn was visibly affected. He stated that the duty before him w a most un- flensant one; that he had known Dr. avis for many years, during which he had always home a good reputation for honesty and good character. The plea A - ':,VY I Dr. W. II. Davis. showed, however, the court the defendant had made a of guilty said, that mistake. The court took it. however, that it was a mistake and not Indicative of the character of the defendant. He placed the fine nt $500.
