George Sorenson. in Land
K' Fraud Trial, Testifies Mas
Told Him Was Necessary to
Give Them Money
BInger Hermann, ex-commlssloner of
the general land; tffflce, for a minute
this' morning was linked with the Blue
Mountain forest reserve conspiracy by
George Sorenson; then the , court ln
" structed the Jury that the . testimony
should not' be considered as binding
upon Hermann unless', the government
proved the conspiracy later In Its, case.
The- link, Indefinite as It was, : came
rn the, testimony of Sorenson when he
said that F. P. Mays had made a .de
mand upon lilm that, he give up a. por
tion of the school lands in the forest
reserve In order to help pay fdr the
expenses of the reserve's creation,
srecsssary to pay Hermann. '
Sorenson had asked Mays what tha
. expense was, contending that If he gave
, up one third .or a half, of his holdings
, that he was entitled to know who got
the money coming from his lands.v At
. this, Sorenson testified. Mays told him
It was necnf eary to pay Senator Mitch
ell and Ulnger, Hermann ror tne work
that was being done by them In Wash-
Ington towards . furthering, the creation
of the reserve. 1 '
- More significant, however, than l the
Hermann link was the point made by
' William-Myers, one of the jurors, when
he opened, a slight vista into the Irreg
ularities of the Geef state land board
. admlnlstratlonof.JSOl. by the questions
which lie i: asked "Sorenson" during' the
. testimony. ". Sorenson had been telling
'ot taking blank applications for school
lands to the state land office and there
filling them out to suit himself from
the books of the Office, afterwards fll-
' lng them with the -office. ' " '
4 v Juror Gets Inquisitive.
"Do you menni - to ' tell me," ' asked
Juror Myers, "that the , clerks of the
state land, board saw' you doing that
kind of work?" ( , , t
. "Sure," said-Sorenson. -had been
doing tha for a long time, and we were

,-. "All right," said the Juror, and the

into the question. '

at the opening of - the morning1 session,,
not having completed his. testimony yes-terday-afternoon.

That with the opening of tha spring

"and the other 1600 tons of freight for
Alaska will he taken from San Francisco.-
Portland and Seattle, or about
E00 tons from each port. ...
"I do not expect that we shall have
any difficulty In getting Portland's
share of tha cargoes, as T bejieve that
the -wholesalers, will see the advantage
of putting their freight aboard here In
stead of. first sending it to tho sound,
as horetpfore. I understand that every
year more or less freight goes out of
this., port ' f o " Alaska, and although 1
have not been able to see-many of the
merchants yet, those that t have seen

"1 can see no reason why the Port

share of the Alaska business, and I be
lleve that with more direct communi
cation this will come to pass. As It is,
I understand that several of the mer
chants here : have had .contracts for
large amounts of freight for ths north
at different times, and I believe that
they will now.be stimulated to make
further efforts for business In Alaska.
"I expect to take the matter ud with
the chamber of commerce In a very
short time, and with other commercial
bodies also, and I have no doubt that
they will become interested to the ex
tent that they, will all work to make the
affair a success.".
Only ..recently a business'' man came
all the way down from Alaska to buy
his merchandise .In Portlands as he was
able to get better terms here than he
could at Other . points. AIt is said that
