Both Mitchell and Hermann very bitterly condemn the Secretary for his persecution of them aod the methods to which he lesorts, hut neither cares to be quoted. Senator Mitchell savs the Secretary's interview 8'iowtj the Secretary's animus and the ceary established fact that he is per rtistently resorting to cowardly means to damage him. Senator Mitchell said today : "I de fy Secretary Hitchcock and everybody else to produce the firt fragment of troth that I ever had any improper connection with the cases at issue or have in any way been involved in land frauds." Representative Hermann said today that if he is desired as a witness in the land fraud case that has been postponed until March, be will gladly go on the stand end tell everything be knows about the case.

Albany, Or., Dec. 18 Charle A f hul, propri tor of the Willamette Val ley & Cas ada Range Wagon Rosd Com- panv. yesterday came to the center with $8329.29. 'he amount of taxes due on his timber holdings in Linn county, and thus the fir-d victory was reeistered to the credit of the Linn County Assessor and Sheriff in their efforts to make the h.o de h of big timber interests in Linn county pay taxes in proportion to their property. Of this money, $7004 53 was the taxa&se-sed for tbe'past year, at-d! $1224.76 was the penalty for nonpay- the ra8C8,8 brought to justice, and will gladly contribute any information Ibat ment Tin's la-ee amount of m ney was paid Tery grnlgingly by the wagon road com pany, wh i made every effort to have the amount reduced. The company owds ovr 110,000 acres of fine timber land in Linn county, and the Assessor valued the land at 83 pr acre. In ' years jione by the land has been valued at but SI. 25 per acre, and the taxes have amounted to a trifle over $1000. In a Idition to thi, the wagon road com pany has had but 43,000 acres cf timber land on the assessment rolls in the county. When Assessor McKnight took charge cf the -Assessor's office, however, he examined the present ownership books, and found that the big company had been paying but a sruali part of the taxes that t-hould have been contributed by it. He aK established tin wire polii of vaiuitig timber land at seme tMnu' n-ar im wotth. These elements to'''r made the taxes on ti e wagon road c mpany many times higher than m fo(t,'..r years, and brought forth a will aid to that end. Senator Mitchell a;d today that if the cases which are postponed are called for trirl when he can attend, be will will ingly no on the stand and testify. Oregon Wins many Prizes. After several months in St. Loui, where he bad charge of the Oregon ex hibit at the Louisiana Parchase Expo si ion, W. H. Wehrung returned to Portland Thursday, says the Oregonian. He reported wide interest among East erners in the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion and predicted there will be heavy westward travel next ear for the pur- p se of seeiiig the Western World's Fair. Mr. Wehrung speaks highly rf the .lust to I'ivt iCiht-rii visitors to the Lewis et (I Cla k Fxuosition a few thrill- and to hhow thein that td though thu people of Oregon aro civil z ed there is enough of savagery about, the Coist country to mp.ke the title "wild and woolly" appropriate, Hmey county will bring to th Fair a d ilu tion of st u fled wild animals, showing the wild life of Oregon, and lepresenta live inhabitants of the state in the period that Lewie and Clark made their perilous trip to the mouth of the Colum bia River. P'eparations are now going forward for the collection of such exhibit, both of wild beasts and birds. Not only will such a oll ction be a liberal edu cation to the aver"p Easterner who does not see wild "nimols except at rate intervals, but the col'ection will be a source of profit to those collecting it, It is said that witht'Ht exception such collections are so'd foT- much more than the cost of collecting and mounting, and at St. Louis it was found that the sup ply ot such attractions was sold out two mo ths before the Fair closed. Harney county is already taking active steps to nihke an exhibit at the Exposition. The County Court has ap propriated $1000 for the purpose, and members of that body have signified their willingness to segregate anoher amouut of a similar magnitude after January 1. Although that county has au immense territory, of rich and fertile acres, the people at the bead of the in terests there realize that the usual firming exhibits are not apt to attract the attention from visitors that some unique display will. Although Harney county boasts one-third of the cattle of the state, and more than one-ninth the area of Oregon, its exhibit wi'l be along lines not attempted by the other counties, and while its resources, vast and undeveloped, will be brought out, the unique plan of giving Easterners eoi ething decidedly different from any- thirg any other section of Oregon will bring forth will be followed. Harney county i said to have 48 varieties of wild animals and 250 varie ties of birds other than domestic. In g 'tting an adequate realization of the wild conditions and the savage fots Lewis and Clark had to contend with, the wild animals displ-tyed will how t'ue to the life the dangers the intrepid exployerers encountered. A better idea of their bravery In penetrating the trackless forests on their great mission will result from Harney county'H exhibit. C ing'esBman Binder Hermann is on record as once havinu said that the on y products of Harney county known to he outside world were "hay, hell and petitions." The County Court of the in'erior section proposes to maVe n ex hibit of another product which will! Su'iip'er-, Or., Dec. 16 From a resi dent ot the John Day va'ley it h learned that thoi people of th t ne tion are much disappointed ovor the report that the Sumptor Valley Railway company wi 1 not extend i a line into t!at locality next year. It in naid tiio Ilaniman pei'p'e are stopping the advance of the Sumptor ViU'ey toad by refn-dnir to dt liver taiirf for building purposes except : at the maximum charge. This it is! i c'a'naed is aheost prohibitive, as the ! cost wou d be .f2 25 per hiifid ed. Raih r coo Id be shipped icmnd the lloni but! the high rate from Portland would stil j be staring the ittle road n th face. j A liuht of wav ha been c eaed fura Tipton to Wright Station, a point a-j most half way between Sumpter and Prairie City. It was announced nt the time this work was done that the road would be bniit to this stati n in the spring, and ultimately reach the vicin ity of Pra rie City hy fill. That this program bun bee.o nhandoned is the ex pressed ide of John Day vaHy resi dents, and the continuation of the road is put tf to an indefinite dte. Another reason given for the holding back of farther extension is the fmct that the Sumpter valley road from Tipton on is r quired to be standard gauge, accoiding to the stipulation of the franchise by the gov rmneut. This would mean the t hieing of the whole system on a broad gauge, a condition that is hardly justified at the present stage. StiiJ ano'her theory is advanced, uc counting for the action of the Harriman people. This is that the Sumpter val ley is in splendid position to head off advancement of the Colombia Southern through Central Eastern Oregon. As the latter road is fostered by the strong er combination, every assistance pos sible is to be given it. That this road must extend its lines eventually in or der to control the business of its terri tory is a well known fact, and there fore it woufd not be to its advantage to have another road reach the Harney valley ahead of it. id si m n B TTTBT Bald?

The amendment he hs intruduced and w jb speak for will include 'hat part of the Willamette from the MacMson-ftrett bridge at Port'and to Rye I -larol. If adopted, it will prrvde io a 15-foot channel one nnlo m.-nti e tn above the bridge. It is the plan of Representa tive Williamson to authorize rlie Gov ernment engioeers to dredge out and maintain a 25-foot channel as far up stream as the foot of Ross Ifland, Dnc tically ono mile beyond Madison-street bridge, which is nov the end of the 25 foot project.
