members have already commenced ; a
campaign' Which It Is believed will lead
to an Increase of at least 60 per cent
U the membership during the year., ,
Asked for an , outline : of the year's
Erogram, the new officers of the chant
er dwelt particularly upon the cam
paign for a larger membership, all
agreeing that the larger and more gen
erally representative the body, the larg
er will be Its Influence in such matters
as may come up for action.
Fololwing are the expressions of the
officer and trustees of the chamber in
reference to the work before them for
the year: ,, t
- By B. O. Olltntr, Secretary.
' The . Chamber of Commerce during
19U will take an active part In every
thing, avoiding religion and politics,
that is for the Improvement and the
growth of. the state in general and the
city In particular.
The 'most- comprehensive campaign
for settlers ever made will be started
in a few weeks by having ready at one
time the following:
A large S3 page Illustrated book in
four colors, in an issue of 60,000, cov
ering every Industry in the state and
without question a finer book than ever
prepared for distribution by any com-
An Oregon Primer, 98 pages,- issue
10.000. Consisting of questions and
answers on every subject, and profuse
ly illustrated. x
A postal folder On Portland, contain
ing a map of the city, illustrated, 82
pages, edition of 20,000.
Also 10,000 circulars on 7 each of the
following subjects: Poultry, (dairying,
fat stock, what can be donaffcith from
J1000 to )5000, public lands (with splen
did map); this system to be added to
as occasion warrants and a subject of
sufficient Importance for a circular
arises.
The land circular is now ready for
distribution.
In addition to this the Chamber or
Commerco Bulletin will have the most
complete and reliable statistics, and will
contain articles of particular interest a
the date of issue. .
The publications of all the other com
munities of the state are always, kept
on hand for distribution,
i The.ustaal active part: will be taken
Jn rlveir and harbor worlcHnktisportatldn
problems, aids to navigation, an exhibit
of Oregon's resources both at home and
in thickly populated centers of the east;
and even in Ijondon, an information
bureau to care for the settlers that aren
induced to come after their arrival here,
furnishing articles for publications at
home and abroad, and a list of regular
duties too long to mention. Including
answering the correspondence In line
with our work received by government,
state and Multnomah county officers.
Committees will be selected, both
standing and special, to consider and re
port on every subject of public import
ance, and assist the public docks com
mission, the law' creating which was
prepared and practically carried by the
chamber.
It is sufficient to say that backed by
over 1000 firms and individuals, the
membership increasing daily, no subject
that Is of importance to Oregon or
Portland is too large or too small to
have" careful consideration, and after
such consideration and a decision, active

the, defense will resort to the Insanfty
plea, 1 -ry:'' .a
n The attorneys for" Mrs. Bche'nk have
passed no chancetff- lay emphasis on
the family conspiracy claims. While
insisting that they would not deny the
presence of arsenic in the millionaire's
medicine arid drinking water, they have
bitterly fought . every inch of , expert
testimony!"'. ' . ' - ' : .. .-,;-.
Bynopsla ( ttata'a .Case.. -
Kpltomtxed. the state's evidence was:
That Schenk drank water containing
Jarge portion of arsenic,- and took
medicine tinctured with lead.
That Mrs. Schenk iacted suspiciously
in the sick room, expressed a desire for
ner husband s death and otherwise
showed her hatred for him. - - i v
That she preferred "younger and so
ciety men" over the prosaic businessman.
That she was afraid Albert Schenk. a
brother, would get control of the prop
erty after her husband's death,. a con
tingency she sought to anticipate by
the help of the two nurses.
That she sought clandestine meetings
with Dan P. Phillips, the young music
clerk, that she spoke repeatedly and in
differently of the. death of her husband,
and that she tried to bribe a detective
nurse to give Schenk a "fatal dose of
poison but became frightened over the
prospects of an autopsy.
Prosecutor Also Satisfied".
The woman's counsel ' are looking to
sentiment to play a large part in the
Verdict.' This Is evidenced in'h"Ute
ment to the United Press tonight y
Attorney Frank O'Urlen. He said:
"I would be willing to let the case
go to the Jury with the testimony of
Phillips unrefuted. 1 am convinced
that the Jury will not seriously 'take
Into consideration the statements of a
traitor. The average man's" sympathies
ore not built to absorb the foulness of
betrayal."
Prosecutor Ilandlan will propound
his hypothetical question early next
week. Tile program calls, first, for the
completion of the detective nurse's tes
timony and her' cross examination. It
Is believed the state will have finished
Its case by Tuesday,
"Am I satisfied with the progress of
the trial? Well, rather," Ilandlan said
tonight. "I have proved what I said
I would. I am willing to let the evi
dence speak for itself."

wants Is all the strength and influence
It can muster. When the chamber takes
up a, matter and indorses it, that matter
should be pushed through to the desired
end. Having been away from the city
while the chamber has done excellent
work in the past, I believe .that it can
be made doubly effective. Los Angeles
lias a wonderfully active chamber, with
some 3000 members; Portland should
have at least 2000.
Kodney L. Oibson, Tloe Vresldent.
The work and accomplishments of the
Chamber of Commerce during the year
past and In former years illustrate what
results may be obtained from such or
ganization. The strength Is in the mem
bership and it should be increased.
The chamber has a very good class of
members and more than 1000, but it
should be. as President Haller remarked
at the annual meeting, increased to
2000. I do not believe that can be ac
complished in a year's time, but that is
the goal we should have In view and
with Hopes of reaching It before long.
The chamber can bring about much bet
ter results with a large membership parent that the fnrger the membership

i ue ciiamoer is m a po-
opportunity to give the year's program
any attention, but the idea to enlarge
the membership is one that I feel we
should all support to our best ability.
By O. O. Colt, Trustee.
The Chamber of Commerce has and is
working for the promotion of the com
munity, the city of Portland, the state
of Oregon and the Pacific northwest.
One thing that the members should work
for this year, is as President Haller out
lined In his talk at the annual meeting,
a larger membership. By increasing
the membership to the extent that every
business man, professional man or
others having large Interests here be
comes interested, would lend tremendous
Influence to the organization. -The
chamber stands ready to take up mat
ters for the good of the community as
they are presented, but it is easily ap
which we can exort our energies during
the year.
By T. O. Knapp, Trustee.
President Haller's suggestion to In
crease the membership until every busi
ness man In Portland belongs to the
chamber Is one that we should advocate
to 'the utmost during the year. The
chamber should have a larger member
ship because In unity there Is strength
and greater results may be obtained.
The chamber is always' engaged In
furthering some cause for the good of
the community and I presume many
important questions will come up for
consideration and action this year. One
of the things we should try -to accom
plish this year, I would suggest, should
be to If possible double our membership.
- Every member should consider him
self a committee of one to talk for new
members. By doing so, or if each mem
ber 'could bring another Into the organi
zation, then 'our ambition would be sat
isfied for-the time being.
Every possible support should be
given the permanent exhibit which in
my opinion if a very valuable feature
of the chamber. Larger quarters than
those now at our disposal will perhaps
also be discussed during the year.

act was passed patenting the land to
the state.
Conditions Violated.
Meantime. In 1870, the legislature of
Oregon granted the land to the Coos
Bay Wagon Road company, subject to
the conditions of the government. In
1875 and preceding that time the con
ditions were violated. Up to that time
the wagon road company, grantee Of
the titate, had sold about 7000 acres to
53 purchasers, and It then sold the re
maining 97,000 acres to John Miller,
who was regarded as representing the
Interests of Collls P. Huntington, Le
land Stanford, Charles Crocker and oth
ers of the same financial group.
After passipg through several hands
the 97,000 acres, still Intact, came Into
the hands of the Southern Oregon com
pany, which .Is how being sued by the
government. This company claims to
own the land, now worth many millions.
The government expects to show the
company has no title the sale of the
land beln in apparent direct conrnct
with the conditions imposed, first by
the ' national government and later by
the state..
Representative Cole, agreeing with the
contention that the southern Oregon
company does not have good title, con
tends that the state, having fulfilled
every condition, of the grant by the
United States. Is now the rightful ownJ
er. ,He points ont that the grant was
effective and absolute as noon as the
first act we passed by congress. The
supplementary act of 1874 relating to
the patent was not necessary to com
plete the title of the state, merely ,sup
plying; legat evidence of the! fact.
tn other words Cole"c6hterids thafai
the title of the state was complete with
the grant Of 189.; the -state's transfer
kr the wagon road company with con
ditions ' attached, was likewise t com
plete and the act of 1874 ha nothing
to do, with the state's title. ' . ,k

Defense Alleges Conspiracy.
The defense will force the state to

"Our testimony will compel the pros

we desire. We will snow by his tes

against the defendant."
Boyce was asked If the defense would
rely on the Insanity plea.
"I do not know," he said. "We pro

Schenk by direct evidence. We will
