The Kribs Checks. '
There are in the possession of the
government three checks from the
Kribs firm, showing plainly that Sen
ator Mitchell received money for his
services in expediting claims before
the government. Concerning them
Judge Tanner testified as follows:
"Under the first agreement," fur
ther questioned Mr. Heney. "the
checks that were paid by Mr. Kribs
for services performed In the matter
of expediting cases went Into the firm
account and were divided with the
knowledge of Senator Mitchell that
he was getting his half of them?"
"It went into the firm account and
was divided with him In this way:
The money, his half of It, was sent
to him In the shape of a deposit tag
.showing the amount: and I usually
stated. 'Inclosed you will find deposit
tag for your share of proceeds of our
-business for current month,' or some
mlng of that kind. Now, I couldn't
swear that he had knowledge of
where this money came from."
"Didn't you talk with him ioout
It at any time when he was. here?"
asked Mr. Heney. ,
"Not subsequent to the time that
this money was paid."
"Was there anything at the
time Senator Mitchell was here In
1903?" aske Mr. Heney.
"Vell, he knew that I was doing
work for Krtbs, and that he was pay
ing money; but I couldn't say that
he knew that any of these special
amounts that I sent him as Krlb's
money, or anything of that kind,"
was the answer.
He knew you were doing work for
Kribs, and that this work Involved
these claims about which you wrote
the senator and asked him to look
after?" asked the attorney.
"Yes," said Judge Tanner. '
The Blltchell Case Hopeless.
U Is considered generally that the
confession of Judge Tanner has dealt
a death blow to the cause of Senator
Mitchell and that there Is absolutely
no hope for anything but conviction
in his case when it comes to trial.
There Is a growing belief that the
senator will not stand trial.
: Tanner Will He Pardoned.
It Is understood that this action of
Judge Tanner In making his plea of
guilty and In becoming a witness for
the government will draw from Pres
ident Roosevelt a pardon for his of
fense. This is stated by Mr. Heney.
but It Is also stated that the pardon
will not be Issued until after the
Mitchell trial, if there be a trial, and
If the judge has given his testimony
in behalf of the government. When
the Mitchell trial is ended, then Judge
Tanner will be pardoned by the pres
ident Williamson's High Ideals.
Washington, Feb. 13. Represen
tative Williamson, of Oregon, indict
ed by the federal grand Jury at Port-
hand Saturday on the charge of com
plicity In land frauds, leaves for home
shortly to prepare for trial. He said
this morning:
"Hereafter I will keep away from
the house of representatives. I havs
high Ideals as to what the house
should be, and believe it to be an af
front to my fellow members for me
to appear on the floor while this
hangs over me."
Representative Hermann, also un
der Indictment, takes a different
view. He has been regular in attend
ing the sessions since his Indictment,
and has voted on all pending ques
tions. Senator Mitchell has absented
himself from the senate.

PROF. PEEBLES SAYS IT
WAT UNREASONABLY SO.
Many Applicant for Certificates Had
to Put In Twelve Hours Continuous
Work, When Much Less Would
Have Sufficed for a Teat of Quallfl
cations Mr. Peebles la Especially
WeU Qualified aa Critic
The recent county teachers' exam
ination held here was pronounced by
the members of the examining board
to be much harder and longer than
usual. Professor Peebles, of the Nor
mal School, who Is one of the board,
criticises the state board severely for
sending out such unnecessarily long
lists of questions on the various sub
jects. Prof. Peebles was himself on
the state board of examiners for 10
years and he does not believe In caus
ing so much physical hardship as was
endured by the teachers at the re
cent examination. In speaking of
the matter this morning, he said:
"I believe that an equally thorough
test could have been made by the use
or one-half the questions that consti
tuted the examination and those tak
ing the examination would have been
spared much of the physical and
mental strain."
According to the professor, Thurs
day was the hardest day of the exam
ination and to handle the four sub
jects upon which they were examin
ed that day some of the teachers
were forced to work from t o'clock
in the morning until nearly that hour
In the evening, some of them not dar
ing to take time In which to eat
"Taking a series of examinations
one after the other Is a great nerv
ous and physical strain at best, es
pecially for young women, and this
time the subjects were so long that
it was much worse than usual," said
Prof. Peebles.
WEALTH IN WHEAT RAISING.
Splendid Record Made by John Ban-
I later, of Weston.
What may be accomplished from
wheat farming in Umatilla county Is
illustrated by the success of John
Banister, the well known wheat ruiser
from near Weston.
Mr. Banister began wheat farming
only four or five years ago, without
capital, and rented land from Indians
on the reservation. He was success
ful, and last year purchased the Ciinn
place of 160 acres near Weston for
$9000. From the first crop of this
place $32 per acre was realized. Last
year, from the 480 acres which he
had In wheat, Mr. Banister reaped a
crop of 19,000 bushels. This he sold
fo'r 74 cents, thus receiving $14,000,
for his crop. The three quarter sec
tions of land now owned by Mr. Ban
ister are worth $36,000, a good stake
In Itself to be made In such a short
time.
Buying Wallowa Sheep.
A Wyoming buyer has purchased
about 10,000 yearling ewes of parties
residing In this county, the price
ranging from $2.25 to $2.50 per head,
according to quality of sheep. Ma
kin & Falconer also contracted about
5000 yearling weathers for $2 per
head to a Montana buyer. Those still
holding yearlings expect prices to
strengthen and consequently buyers
have been unable to contract large !
amounts Wallowa Chieftain.
