THE ATHENAEUM PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON BY GILBERT STUART
United State Dint r let Attorney
Ileney said to a correspondent In
Washington this week: "The gov
ernment hi a very strong cane
against Senator Mitchell and repre
sentatives Williamson and Hermann.
We have conclusive evidence against
all three. Mr. Williamson Is as deep
in the frauds as any of them and is
baJly tangled fn Extern Oregon, to
which section his operations have
been oonfloed. "Mr Hermann was
tbe shrewdest and mo-tt cunning of
them all and has cleverly covered
his tracks so that it has been most
difficult to obtain evidence against
him. Mitchell's case is the most
taxation couspicioue of them all and the evi-
when so provided by any law of deuce against him is most damaging,
the United States, and not other- "Mitchell's Hecietary, Henry U ibert

persons who, by reason of infirm
Uy, age or poverty, may, in the
opinion of the Assessor, be unable
to contribute toward the public
charges.
8. The following property, if
owned by a householder and in ac
tual use, or kept for use, by and
for his or her family; household
goods, furniture and utensils; two
cows, ten sheep, five swine, and the
tools, implements, apparatus, team,

householder; provided, however,
that when the assessed valuation
of the personal ' property above
enumerated shall atnouut to less
than three hundred $300 dollars,
then only such amount as the total
of such property herein enumer
ated shall be exempt from taxation.

A Washington correspondent to
the Portland Oregouian, under date
of February IS, writes- "President
Roosevelt today completely over
turned the Ultchcock-Wynne Moody
policy of miking no more Federal
appointments in Oregon until after
the land fraud trials, and went to
the extreme of Inviting Senator i'ul
ton to submit recommendations
whenever any Federal office in the
state shall become vucaut from any
cause whatever.
The first thing this morning Mr,
Fulton went to the White House to
ascertain whether or not the policy
adopted by the three Cabinet officers
had received executive approval.
President R xevelt said he had not
even heard of the plan, and was sur
prised that such steps had been
taken by members of nis Cabinet.
He very promptly declared thai he
would not stand for such a policy
and would so advise the parties to
the agreement.
President Roosevelt look occasion
to express his complete confidence in
Senator Fulton and to say that, In
his opinion, the refusal to muke any
appointments while the trials are
pending would be to off r an affront
to the Junior senator. The fact that
three members of the delegation are
under indictment, he said, was no
reason why the fourth member
should be deprived of his right to fill
vacant offices, and he particularly
Invited Mr. Fulton to come to him
direct when he desired to have any
appointments made, and he would
give his recommendations his er
cnal attention and approval.
Mention was made of the district
