The indictment makes the charges that in consideration of services Kribs gave Mitchell two checks for $500 each oo the Rose burg bank February 13, 1902; two checks Jane 14, 1902. for $1000 each; ene check January 4, 1904. for $500, and one check October 8, 1904. The indictment against Brown ell involves lind in the same dis trict in eastern Oregon ia which forged applications for surveys were made and upon which ex-Surveyor-General Meld rum was convicted last year. Out of the land fraud proeecu tions has developed a sensational plot to involve United States Dis trict Attorney Heney in a scandal. Developments have been coming to light for several days past, and the alleged conspirators .include many well-known Portland men, politicians and officials. The names of Senator John H. Mitchell and Congressman Binger Hermann are associated with the plot, as are also those of Ex-United States Die trict Attorney John H. Hall, Ex City Detective Henry Ford, Major Harry Rees, formerly of the United 8tates Army, Deputy Sher iff John Cordano, F. S. Simpson, a saloon-keeper, and others. The plan was to try to arrange a clandestine meeting between Mr. Heney and Marie Ware one of the defendants in the the land fraud business. Three different attempts failed and the srrand jury has taken up the matter of the plotters. FHOftl THE CAPITAL tfal tovestta.

Monroe Mulkey, road supervisor FOUND AFTER ELEVEN YEARS Mysterious Disappearance of Jobn Stantruf of Benton County Has Been Solved After eleven vears, the. bones of John Wesley Stanturf have been found. John Stanturf who resided with his family in the southern part of Benton county, started on the morning of January 17, 1894 to his favorite hunting ground near the foot of Green Peak. Toward noon, snow began falling and a fierce storm was on by th e middle of the afternoon. Night came and the hunter did-not re tnrn. All searching proved in vain. The first tidings that have been heard of the missing man since his disappearance eleven years aco. was last Thursday when" J.. JHawkins and Chas. Broomfield; were looking for new trapping grounds near what is known , , as Honey Grove fork of the Alsea river. The two men were attract ed by a pile ef bones, over1 "which two trees had fallen, so that a third log lying across tbemcirmeci1 a letter "A." The corofae'i 1 j Was notified and Saturday hejventi to the scene with a party ,fti held K1arl Inauest. and elicited facts dent to leave no doubt ar to the There will be no constituional convention at thjs time. Any changes desired ia the organic law of the state will have to be sought through the initiative and referen dum. Brownell's pet bill calling a constitutional convention went down Wednesday. After one of the Clackamas orator's most per suasive appeals, a vote was taken but the returns showed he was three shy. The Lewis and Clark Fair can now be held next sum mer without any constitutional convention to worry the people while entertaining easterners. of district No. 8, makes some in teresting remarks on roai . building: There are seventeen miles of) ' "IfS? f:.l iiTtere BID E3 No testifr $335 53. Poll taxes would add about $200.00. The funds this year will perhaps be a trifle more than last. My views of road grading are to grade the road full weather center from twenty inches to two feet higher than out side drains. Grade nniform until nearirg out side then dropping out side so as to leave water sur face about two feet below center of road bed. In putting on gravel, would line up center of road and make beds to hold gravel about seven inches deep and seven feet wide. On muck formation would use gravel from two inches to five inches in diameter as fine gravel on sucb ground is the same as money thrown away. It is best to put all gravel in beds and in center of read, for by this plan the side surface can be used for summer traffic thereby saving the graveled road bed for winter. All grading should be done early in the season so as to become compact. Monroe Mulkey, Supervisor. One of the best kept up roads in the county is that of the Mon mouth district. The supervisor if J. a. Mulkey who writes as ioi lows: ; ''We have about fourteen miles of road. For the year 1904 I col lected $144 on road poll tax, from county funds $218.70, total $362.70. And in reeard to road work the most important thing ia a well drained road, and in order to drain a road good it must be well graded and well rounded in the center of the grade. Some leave the grade fiat in the center and we have to travel all winter . through mud and slush from four to eight inches deep on top of the graveL We are in great need of a light grader for a three horse team, so one man can manage it alone; he can fill up chuck holes and dress up from six to ten miles of road a day at a yery small expense; also a heavy roller to pack our grades and graveL" Yours Respectfully, J. H. Mulkey, Supervisor. , President B. F. Mulkey of the Ashland Normal made a record for quick action Wednesday even ing.1 Senator Pearce was speaking in behalf of a continuing annual appropiation of $50,000 for nor mal schools. In the course of his remarks the senator mentioned that be was the father of five child ren himself. This remark seemed to impress Prof. Mulkey with a sense of loneliness. He left the room of the ways and means com mittee. Within five minutes he rushed back displaying a telegram bearing the intelligence, that there was born to him in Ashland, the fifth child. Senator Pearce sub sided and the telegram broke up the meeting of the ways and means committee that had under discussion the Normal echools of the state. Mother and child are doing well. It was in the midst of the session of legislature two years ago that Mrs. Mulkey presented the Professor with his fourth son. The claims of the four Normal schools of the state were presented to the ways and means oom'in'frtee Wednesday evening.
