The rprpnl nlnt ti (nunlu. u.n.t. i.
a scandal with Marie Ware was pro
nounced by Burus to be a damnable
scheme. According to him, the affair
was known almost as soon as It was
natcnea, and Miss ware, aside from
refusing to enter Into tne scheme,
readily gave the secret officers all the
lniormation sne naa on tne subject
Asked as to the number of men
under him In Portland, he replied
that that was something that could
not be given -out, but he remarked
with a aulet smile that he had a suf

"I am. going to New Tork from

MORE PROSECUTIONS COMING.
Portland, Feb. 15. Judge Tanner has notified Senator Mitchell
he desires to descontlnue their law partnership. Tanner refuses to
discuss the matter.
T. B. Neuhaussen was today appointed to the charge of the gov-
ernment secret service here, with Instructions to prosecute further
inquiries Into timber frauds. Current belief here Is that there will
not be the slightest abatement of vigor, and thoroughness In the
government's efforts In this , direction, and that the next turn of the
wheel will discloss probably' two doseri men who have state repu-
tations, on the rack among them some of the best known politic-
lans and business men. The names of several Eastern Oregon men
of prominence are mentioned In seml-eonftdenc. as possible de-
fendants after the grand Jury reconvenes In April.

Lee Owsley, one ot the well known
farmers of Ia Grande, was In the
city this morning on his return from
the Alberta country, where he has
been on a prospecting tour, In hopes
of seeing the north at Its worst dur
ing the winter season.
He found that the winter in Cana
da, In the vicinity of Calgary, was but
little colder than In Grand Ronde
valley, and that the prices of farming
land are constantly raising. When
he left Calgary, fuur days ago. dur
ing the most severe spell of winter
weather, the thermometer registered
but 24 below zero and the wind does
not blow so much as In Oregon. The
snow was only eight to 10 Inches deep
and stock are running on the winter
ranges. In the best of condition.
While In Calgary, Mr. Owsley saw
Canadian wheat, grown on new land
that tested (6 pounds per bushel and
that yielded 46 bushels per acre. The
price of wheat land is constantly rais
ing in all that wheat growing belt,
and land that sold for 110 per acre
six months ago, cannot now be bought
for leas than M. wnne ne was in
