-Othello's prospect la gloomy. So art
the thought of score of Portland peo
ple of email means wno gave up their
hard cash to the "Othello Investment'
Co. and the R. S. King Co., allied cor-j
poratlona, of Seattle, Wash., for sage
brush plots on "the outskirts of "the !
payroll town on the Cv M. & JP: rail
road," as It was attractively advertised. ;
' Just now the affairs of the. two prom
ising corporations' are in the hands of
a receiver and the Portland offices, into
which rolled the dllara of many of
Portland's workers, are being cared for
by the constable, Lou Wagner, and a
few deputies. R. B. Newkirk, who was
"manafrpr and director" f the Port
land office, declares he "was ,not "in on
the game," and that i'300 Is coming to
him for salary. '
In the meantime Othello, "the new
City- of ; opportunities, as : described
In ,, that ; highly Interesting booklet,
"Othello," Is drowsl.g ' along with a
meager population of a hundred or so
persons, and only a few grass-covered
holes to mark -the spot where the
"plant of, tha American Slate Products
company Is now under construction."
And no one heeds the siren song of
the booklet, coaxing, "Nov, do not let
anything prevent you from acquiring
at least one lot at Othello. Get as
many lots as you possibly can, but
by all means get at leastrone."
' Hrd Earned Earnings Gone.
It was nto long ago that Philip
Kailbach, aKpoor7tarar, was lured to
the' company's offlcpsXt 219 and 220
Commercial Club bulldlngSby the prom
ising advertisements. He laid not been
making much at his trade and It had
taken him more than two ears to save
$200. He put -ft safely yf th lnk and
was adding to It a few dollars every
month. He stinted himself Ho save a
little, so when he grew old he would
not have' to go to the poorhouse. He's
not far from so' years .old' now, and has
no one to depend upon. But he couldn't
resist this ang of promise, so he gave
up all but $10. ;-v . . .
"Othello lots are ' for sale by the
Othello Investment company, which la
spending thousands of dollars in bring
ing inauufacturies and other Industries
to Othello, and is making extensive mu
nicipal improvements in. tha wayi of
streets, parks, sidewalks and civic at
tractions at Othello."

Mr. Newkirk told , him there waa a
'great opening for a taitor. H made
preparations to go - to Othello. But

miles along the new railroad tha rich
Crab creek valley spreads back from
the track on either side In a gorgeous

divide the Crab creek from "the Colum

is a land of plenty, where every nat

sheep, which fatten and grow almost
without care, to wheat crops of 60
bushels to the acre, and those wondrous

Beverly. Mass Aug. 20. Still main
taining1 absolute silence on all political
topics, President Taft was up early;
enough this morning to begin work at
B:S0 o'clock on tha letter .which he-will
contribute to the campaign book of the
Republican congressional commitee.
At 10 o'clock tha president, Mrs. Taft,
Miss Delia Tbrrey, Representative Mo
CalVof Massachusetts and former Col
lector George Lyman went aboard the
Sylph and witnessed the victory of the
American yacht Harpoon in tna aonaer
races. The party ad luncheon on
board, and between times the president
disposed ofa batch of mail. This aft
ernoon the president worked on tha ad
dress which ha will deliver at tha con
servation congress at St Paul on Sep

the day. Late In the afternoon the
president took a short motor ride , with
Mrs. Taft and his aunt .
Secretary Norton denied thia after
noon the newspaper . Btory printed In
New Tork 'that he waa requested to
withdraw his consent to. aaaress tne
Presbyterian - conference at Winona
Lake, Ind., because" Rev. Dr. Morgan
had refused to speak on tha same plat
form with him. Secretary Norton said
he had no knowedge of any such Inci
dent. . '
Lloyd i C. Griscom is coming next
week some time, but Secretary Norton
declared today that he did not know
the. date. ;
ft working man of Montesano, Wash..
waa making inquiries. He went to the
prosecuting attorney at Seattle, told
him of tha situation, and tha officer
urged him to prosecute. Ferguson went
to the head officers of the companies
in Seattle, told them he would get out
a warrant for the arrest of all and
frightened R. 8; King, president, who
gave him J 50 In cash and a note for
1116.75, the balance he had paid on
his land. When the bank got the note
It returned it, Baying that two of the
officers, H. 0. Moon, vice president,
and A. O. Bemond, secretary and treas
urer. had'Sklpped with thousands of dol
lars. This Is what Ferguson writes to
The Journal:
"I am In Montesano, working, and do
not know what 'to do about it, as the
company is now in the hands of a re
elver. Mr.. Browne, assistant sales
man for Mr. Newklrk, tricked me and
lied to me when I bought my lot. I
may coma down and liava them ar
rested." .
A report made to The Journal from
Othello, saya of King, Moon, Semond,
George Canning and J. J. Drlsooll
"They hired a couple of men to clear
ground and commence work on the foun
datlon of the main1 building of the
American Slate Products company, for
which a site was donated. The ground
was leveled and a few holea dug for
tha pillara, A small bunkhouse waa
built The men" who did the work had
a hard time collecting their wages,
while tha lumber company that sold
tha lumber finally settled with them
at a discount A carload of lumber
waa shipped here and is still held for
demurrage. .

"They represent .that King street
which is exactly a mile south of Main
'street has several large buildings on
it and several more in the course of
construction. It hasn't a single build
ing. They also represent that the
depot and freight warehouses are down
there, while in reality they are more
than a mile away. They have sold
hundreds of lots which are not platted
and which they are unable to give
title to.
'They have done nothing here except
to stake out lota and aci-e tracts. All
they did waa to clear a small space of
sagebrush, build a small bunkhouse,
clear a few streets of sagebrush, which
work has not been paid for, plant a
few apple trees,- build a rlve-room
house, which has not been paid for, and
on which laborers have filed a Hen."
G. H. Ogden of the Othello Times has
written to VBt. Kallbach; "I am sorry
to note that you have purchased a lot
in the 'First addition to Othello.' The
promoters of this addition have proved
to be. nothing but swindlers.
' 'There are only about 300 people
here now and nothing that gives em
ployment to men outside of the round
house and machine shops, where about
40 men aro employed. Other railroad
departments at Othello employ probr
ably 50 more men."
Just how many Portland people fell
into the net cannot be ascertained.
Records of the company, however, show
that aeveral scores were swindled.

Rule Politicians.
Attorney Charles Fisher, former cor
poration counsel of Elgin, III., 'and a
prominent political worker of that state,
Is in Portland. He is a guest of the
Corneous hotel, and had a few things
to say last night about Insurgency in
his state. Attorney Fisher is Identifad
wth that wing of the Republcan party
that brought about the defeat of Sen
ator Hopkins, and has bitterly opposed
Speaker Cannon, Congressman Snapp
and tha old machine. ' ,
"While 'Uncle Joe has a strong grasp
on tha situation In our state, and has a
large following, I believe he has seen
his best days." said Attorney Fisher.
"Illinois is tired of machine rule. Tha
old line office holders have been In
power long enough, and one by one they
are losing out. The best thing that ever
happened to the state was when Sen
ator Hopkins was defeated. He- waa.
defeated squarely, too. Insurgency , Is
growing in Illinois, and is the one
thing that is making cleaner politics
Uncle Joa wll be the next big man to
be Disced, on the retired list."
Attorney Fisher has been through all
the stages of . Illinois politics, and says
people In his state are very much inter
ested in Oregon. J He says Oregon has
been talked of more tha past two years
than any other state west of the Mssls
slppi river. The political system Is also
drawing the attention of the politicians,
and ha expressed tha Oregon direct pri

hia petition was dismissed.
John Edward Larson, a native of
Sweden, was refused papers because he
became a full fledged citizen by -the
naturalization of his father before he
reached the age of 21. ;
. .Joseph Unterfachberger, an Austrian,
lost out because he lived for soma time
with Anna Gailo without tha formality
of marrying her. Ha admitted hia dere

San Francisco, Aug. 20.--"For mayor
of San Francisco, 'Charles F. Curry."
This is the' talk that haa begun to
ba whispered i about town by the poli
ticians. It started the day 'after the
defeat of Curry by Johnson for tha Re
publican gubernatorial nomination, and '
It has reached P. H.' McCarthy, who now
rules oyer the destinies of; the city by ''
tha Golden Gate, x, Tha whisper has -given
McCarthy all kinda of political in
digestion and he is busy demonstrating
what an excellent amay or he haa been, I ;
how San Franclsco'a salvation lies In
his continuance in office, and how fool-
ism it is to suppose that Curry could -beat-him
at tho polls; :-fv';.t'-;',.:y'';iW'.;?.:';
Curry, while ha has said he will not
Lbs a candidate for anything, would make '
a , strong opponent to McCarthy, it is
believed, and if the wishes of his friends .
prevail he. will ba Induced next year to "-" '
csiver ma municipal iiaia. ' : .

McCarthy woud enter the governorship
race aa an . Independent candidate. This V
tha mayor denied. Ha said: .?. 1 : '
"I am not a candidate, for governor. -t
will not be a candidate. Yea, I am v
awara of tha fact that thara la a move-'
ment la Sao Francisco to make ma a '
candidate for governor. That movement
la not confined to San Francisco. The v
demand cornea from many points In the;
state. X will not ba a candidate. There
is not a nart Of California that needs
my aervicea mora than San Francisco
right now. and I am going to do what
X said I would do for San Francisco.

"I lova Baa Francisco too well to
laava It now. San Francisco needs my
services too much for ma to leave it
During the, time I have been In office
I have dona mora for the permanent ,
Improvement of San Francisco In its ' .
streets, sewers and otherwise, and mora
for tha Insurance of Ita permanent peace
and prosperity, than anyone In my mem
ory. Tha taxpayers ara getting a dol
lara worth of labor for averr dollar of -
their money. P. H. McCarthy la mak
ing good for tha people, and' the people .
know It too.
"When I get tha Stockton street tun
nel built Market street runj through
and four or five other tunnels that will
put thia city on a 8 per cent grade, ao
that business, can ba dona all over the
city, soma of tha politicians will not be
so anxious to run for mayor."
' Bemindft Him of L&ne'a Campaign.
It is not unlikely that Mayor McCar
thy appreciated tha personal compli
ment conveyed by the demand that ha
enter the lista aa an .independent can
didate for governor. It may be eonsld- '
ered as beyond question that he was
nettled by the talk about .Curry as a .
candidate for mayor of San Francisco.
While ha declined to discuss that
phase of tha situation for publication,
tha mention of Curry's name caused tha
mayor's mind to revert to the Lana
mayoralty campaign following hia fight .
for the governorship, in which Lane
polled about a third tha vote for mayor
that ha had polled In San Francisco as '
a candidate for governor. Mayor Me-
