His mall was always opened by, hla clork . before Hermann reached the of fice. The official mall, from Oregon and elsewhere, was sent to the respec tive departments. Much of this mall he would never Bee until the matter was disposed of and came back for his final algnature. The mall from all members of the senate and house as given the tight of way and waa 'marked "special." .Tho secretary of the Interior's letters had the right of way over the congressional n'Bli. ... . Whenever a . letter. rams from a sen ator or congresami. on land matter addressed to himself, he marked them "special" in red pencil, as a matter of special precaution lest' a , clerk not knowing the name should --not know It was congressional mail. " . ' ' Senators on Xgaal Tooting. Senators from Oregon received no at tention above other senators. Hermann said. In special cases, where there were special reasons for hurry or- rem' niy, " the esses were . expedited, Her mann said. , . - , ' In the Mitchell letters. Hermann said he. remembered no reasons 'Why they were made special for expedition, above any , other senatorial letters or cases. The general land office was a bu reau, and the secretary of the Interior naa supervising control, -the witness mild. The .land office stood ss an ap-' pellats court to the local land office. Cases could be appealed from the com missioner to the secretary. The secre tary eould order a case before him ar bitrarily,: .but ' this wss very' seldom done. The commissioner was supreme In his" department, except In cases of sppeaL i Special agents were furnished to go out for the commissioner and Investi gate cases and males report to the com missioner. ' The aecretary had special referred the matter to him, aa com mlasloner. Hermann had opposed the project, holding that he represented the people and . not the Interests of Jhs railroad com puny, and also because the western side Of the reserve wss largely unaurveyed. . Many settlers were un doubtedly' on these lands, working for the survey, aud he held that the re aerve was Impracticable, ' Opposed) to Ke serve. Hermann had also held that a reserve was not called for there because of the humU climate and the rapid deforests tloti of the country there, i Then again die reserve would encroach on old set tled '. districts.' ' If a reserve were created It would practically disorganize Curry county, Hermann had held. He had Insisted to the secretary that he had a personal knowledge of the dls trlct and he did not consider that the reaerve would be Just. He had believed that timber sharks were back of the prpject,. and Intended to work under, the lieu land act. He felt Jt was unfair and so opposed the reserve. Hermann said he first learned that Professor Roth had gone over his head to the secretary about the, withdrawal of the Wallowa reserve when Both waa on the stand In the present trial. . Opposed Wallowa Bessnrs. Hermann said he had Investigated the Wallowa reaerve and found that there were many apparent speculative entries of settlement. He decided to oppose the project. ' He was therefore muoh surprised to see the secretary's order of withdrawal. He decided to continue his investigation and try to undo the secretary's mistake. He had made a map, marking the suspicions entries, which he took to Secretary Hitchcock. The secretary was much astonished and he directed Hermann to prepare a modi fication of the order of withdrawal. Thin action was followed by an order of modification by Hermann sent, to the secretsry. Hermann said that after the order for withdrawal of the Blue mountain reserve had been . made of record, he had told the press representative of the order and given him all the faots of the story. This action waa customary. Did Vot Xemember Telegram. In regard to the Mays telegram an nouncing the withdrawal, Hermann said he had no remembrance of the tele gram. . It had gone out as hundreds continually, did. He explained that tele grams were usually sent out in answer to telegraphic inquiries, in which case a clerk was usually instructed to search out the information - and prepare an Ing to McMahan that he was opposed to the land fraud trials or that they were helping to cauae the hard times.

He followed with the relation of .the division of Ore gon lata two districts, and his election from the First district He served as the representative for the whole' state for four years, and for the First dis trict for four years.

He had no conversa tion with Mays, Vot having seen him. Hermann aaya he did not discuss ap propriations, or forest reaervea or quiet ing objections with Meldrum. . Hermann denied .moat - emphatically that he had ever advised Meldrum at any time to buy school or sny other lands. He also denied Just as emphati cally, that he had ever, written to Mel drum 'to allow' Mrs, Bllversteln to buy mvnuoi, lanoa, or nna ever written any lotter concerning her, other than ' the one to aak for . her appointment to a Hermann said he at that time knew nothing of, the school land manipula tions.) s "' :. . v ' At this point court was adjourned for the day. . .

Hermann first heard of. the Blue Mountain reserve, or its - creation. when the petition was received. This petition was sent to the secretary by Senator Mitchell and by the aecretary to the commissioner. This went to the division and. wss considered there - and not by Hermann. , , He first knew of the Investigation of Ormsby , when he received the letter from the division directing Ormsby to make the investigation.; He signed the letter when It came to his desk. 1 Hermann said he had high regard for Captain i Ormsby at the time and never 'suspected him of collusion with Maya and Jones,. . i . Mays came' to 'Washington to . see about the claim of a Civil war .veteran, Hermann said. , The case .had come to him on appeal . from the Oregon City land office. . Mays bad argued the case before him. as commissioner, and W. Lair Hill had -appeared with Mays In consultation. Hermann had sustained the land ef-, flee, against May's client The defend ant in the case waa W. N. Jones, Her mann said. Other than that, Maya had had no talk with Hermann, the witness said." He ., never mentioned the Blue Mountain reserve, " , Bogus Beserve Refused. . " , The report of the geological survsy, on the Rogue River, Blue Mountain and Wallowa reserves, came to him from the division, soon after the secre tary had sent it to the office. He had refuaed to recommend the Rogue River reserve, : having once passed upon it. A short time after the consultation on the geological report recommending the creation of the reserves, Hermann had written to the secretary t the withdrawal of the I mlsslouer to sign. tha fraud In publlo lands. He recom mended that they law be sttber repealed absolutely, or changed so that the land used as base under tha terms of the lieu , land act should be of equal value with the land secured for .It in ex change.

Heney tried to get Holmstrom to say that he had told L. H. McMahan of Pa lent that he was opposed to the land fraud prosecutions. Holmstrom could not remember the ' conversation - He said be was In favor of what was right. He had concluded that some of the land cases were pressed harder than the others. He had gained this idea from newspaper reading. He had al ways had a warm feeling for Hermann, but he did not know whether his prose cution was wrong, pr not He felt a sympathy for him.

' I . Acted oa Own Motion. Hermann said he had always gone on his own motion, while commissioner, to work for the repeal or modification, of the law, and never was sent by Sec retary Hitchcock, who never actually sought to chsnge the law. Hermann said he had always come to Oregon once a year. He remem bered his visit In 1901, In1 September. Up to that time, Hermann . said, he had known F. P. Mays, first as United States district attorney, ' He had al ways made It a custom to call on all government officials while In Oregon to consult with them.

' ' Wo Intimation of Fraud. - Hermann said he never had the least intimation of fraud in the creation of the .Blue mountain reserve at the time he recommended the withdrawal of the Blue mountain reserve. Colonel Worthlngton read the pro test of George Cattenach, sent June 18,- 1902, and, asked if it suggested fraud 'in the creation of the reserve. Hermann said the protest had no sug gestion of fraud. ': ! Hermann discussed the second Cat tenach letter and said it suggested no j fraud. He said he did not remember t having seen' the two letters. They may have been sent to him from the divisions later. Hermann said, how ever, that ha was with y th remon strants against the creation of a reaerve, and did not, intend to see the creation of a reserve until th lieu land act was changed. ' . - Hermann said he, could not remem ber having seen the 'numerously Signed protests against the reserve prior to the time he had made the order for the temporary withdrawal.: Even in them he saw no intimation of fraud. The witneBS said he did not remem ber having seen the Sells letter of protest but that it contained no inti mation of fraud. Had ...Ho Information. ... Hermann said bo had no knowledge from any. source when he signed the order of withdrawal that there were school : land frauds In the reserve. He depended on his subordinates to give the matter careful attention, and the whole matter seemed fair and lawful to Aim when It was presented to' him for signature. . ! . v Hermann said he had always' been very careful about making withdrawals, It was a very serious matter to with draw large tracts of territory from set tlement and he had gone into the ques tions very carefully, deciding them on their merits. Most of the withdrawals had been for - water . system projects, hut alt withdrawals had been, with the understanding that no reserves should be created until the liett land act should be chaptted. . . ; ; : :;. , . . -;, . : it The geoiojjic al: survey was anxious toliave the , Rogue river reserve of 47 townships created In Janilary,. 1903.
