Grand Jury Against High Officials
- Am Cancelled.
Portland, Jan. t. On motion of
District Attorney John Maiming, the
indictments returned against Mayor
Williams and Chief of Police Hunt, or
this city were cancelled late Satur
day afternoon by Judge Oeorge.
The report of the grand Jury recom
mended that a competent man be ap
pointed to assist the district attorney,
and because of Mr. Manning's effort
to prosecute gamblers the Jury declin
ed to return an Indictment against
him, as It was at first hinted would
be done.
When the Jury announced to Mr.
Manning that it would Indict Mayor
Williams and Chief Hunt, he became
boisterous. It Is alleged, and declared
tnat he would ask for the dismissal
of the defendants and the cancellation
of the indictments.
At the conclusion of the grand
July's report the following proverbs
are quoted:
"The wicked worketh a deceitful
woik, but to him that soweth right
eousness shall be a sure reward."
"The hoary head is a crown of
glory, If It be found In the f way of
righteousness."
"A wise man hateth not the law.
but he that Is a hypocrite therein Is
a ship In a storm."

E. S. LAWSON ACCOUNTED FOR.
Remarkable Exierienee of Blckleton
Mail Carrier.
Considerable excitement was creat
ed in and around Blckleton In Sep
tember when it was discovered that
E. S. Lawson, the contractor of the
Kuhn-Blckleton mall route, had mys
teriously disappeared and foul play
was feared.
Mr. Lawson had been working In
the Horse Heaven country and wrote
his parents, who reside near Blckle
ton. that he would be home the th
or 7th of September, but he failed to
show up. After waiting a few days
and not hearing anything from him.
the Modern Woodmen of Blckleton,
of which camp he was a member, be
gan Investigating the matter, sending
a man to Kennewlck to see if the
whereabouts of the young man could
be , discovered. The party sent to
Kennewlck found that he registered
at the hotel the 6th of September, but
nothing more could be discovered
concerning him.
In a letter received by his people
this week from Mrs. Burk, an aunt
of Lawsen, whom. It will be remem
tered, visited in this section several
months ago, it appears that the young
man was sandbagged at Kennewlck,
his watch and money. $87, taken from
him, and his .Inert body thrown Into
a box car and the door locked. The
robbers must have given the young
man a heavy Jolt, for when he re
gained consciousness he was In a hos
pital In North Dakota. He Is now at
his old home In Nebraska. Golden

Ijnver and Hi I "rices of All Meat
Products Common Carriers Which
Share In Itemiltant Profits Are
Equally Guilty.
Washington, Jan. Attorney
Genenil Moody made an argument for
the government Ir. the supreme court
this afternoon In the "beef trust"
case.
He said the defendants, who ure
seven corporattona, one company part-'
nershlp and IS other persons, were
charged with entering Into an agree
ment with each other and perform
ing certain acts which he claimed to
be unlawful.
All the acts In question related to
commerce, not to manufactures or
production. He argued that such
agreements are In violation of th
Interstate commerce act Inasmuch as
the unloading of curs of cattle did
not constitute breaking an "original
package," as the animal Itself was
an original package which nature '
made. An agreement with reference
to the purchase price of cattle there
fore was a transaction relating to In
terstate commerce, and was In re
straint of such commerce.
The defendants combined to arbi
trarily raise, lower and fix the prices
of fresh meat and to keep them uni
form among themselves. This con
spiracy was rendered effective by
meuna of secret meetings nt which the
piices were fixed.
It appears the defendants engaged
In the common practice of obtaining
unlawful rates or rebates for trans
portation from common carriers,
which then subsequently share among
themselves, and their scheme contem-

WORLD'S LARGEST ROTARY.
IDAHO'S TAX LAW.
Prominent Mining Man Telia of the
AaHeaMmesit Method In That State.
W. Clayton Miller, general manager
of the Federal Mining ft Smelting
company of the Coeur d'Alenes, Idaho,
saya the operators of that great dis
trict Ilk tha new tax law of th state,
which assesses on a production basis,
saya the Oregon Dally Journal.
Mr. Miller made the state Imme
diately after Ilia firm had paid 4i
797.82 taxes to the authorities of
Shoshone county. He discredited the
rumor that a movement waa afoot to
have the new tax law modified, and
said everybody was satisfied with the
svstem.-
Whlle he admitted that the big
companies paid more money than un
der the old system, he said the tax
was systematic and Intelligent, and
the operators did not object to It.
Th fact that the county la getting
much more money than under the
old system satisfied officials and the
other taxpayers, so that they would
pot be likely to protest or ask a
change.
Idaho's new tax law has been
watched quite closely by Oregon mine
operators. Montana has a bullion tax,
which Is regarded as equitable In
evert respect.. The fact that Idaho
has Inaugurated th same, and that It
gives such satisfaction among the
men who have to pay It. encourages
Oregon mining men to' bellev that
the time will come when they will be
taxed on a similar equitable basis.
