STATE BOARD
HAS A CLASH
UUVJUiNOS raAMBEELAlN J IN
MINORITY ON XAND BOAED.
INVESTIGATION LAND FBAUDS.
The Question at Issue and Secretary
or state wins Out in Con
tentlon. !
Governor Wanted Parties f Charged
With Land Frauds Brought Before
; Board and Secretary Thought Attorney-General
Should Investigate. -
Attorney-General Crawford has ren
dered an opinion upon the ! questions
submitted him by Governor iChamber
'lain in which he holds that while the
state board undoubtedly has the power
to eaneel certificates of sale of state
school lands, in cases where evidence of
fraud appears upon the records, tho
inuuM iu Huica 11 can bo auout
n saieiy is io oruer an investigation
upon the allegation of fraud and give
the parties so charged a chance to prove
to. the contrary before definite aetlon
is taken. Acting upon this advice, the
eiaie lanu ooaru maoe an order yester
day afternoon which is in effect that
no steps will be taken toward cancel
mg any certificates until the state
grand jury, which is delvinc into oues
tions of this character, concludes its
worn, j .
As to the ease of J. K. Sears, whose
affidavit attached to his application for
the purchase of 320 acres of timber
land in this county, charges that the
application made by Fred Palmer, of
inis city, unuer which tho land was
sold by the state on March' 14, 11)01
was irauuuient in that the land was
not purchased for the applicants own
account, the board finally made order
. that the parties so charged be sura
moned before the attorney-general for
invent igntion. Jur. Wears charges iur
thcr in. his affidavit that Mr. Palmer
made amplication in the interest of W
J). Mohney, whoso money was used in
the transaction, and to whom the cer
tificnte is alleged to have been assigned

Members of Board Clash.
The members of the land, board
clashed upon the disposition of this
case with the result that the governor
found himself in the hopeless minority
and lost out. When" the matter was
taken up for further consideration yes
terday Governor Chamberlain suggested
that the parties aaginst whom, charges
of fraud had been entered by Air
Sears be summoned before the board
to show reasons why the certificate
should not bo canceled. Secretary of
State Dunbar took issue with btm and
contended that the matter should come
properly before the attorney-general
Governor. Chamberlain finally put his
Suggestion in the form of a motion, to
th effect that they bo called before
tho board," and the secretary of state
offered to amend making it tho attor-
' ney-general. When the vote was taken
it was two to ono against the governor
and it was so decided. t
Only One in Hundreds.
This case, brought to the attention
.of the board by ih application of Mr.
Sears, is said to be only one of many
hundreds of a like character and that
applications and contests of a similar
sort may be expected to turn up by
tho scoro in the near. future. The land
involved- in these certificates consti
tutes some tf the best timber and agri
cultural land in the state and there
is likely to be a pretty lively scramble
for possession of it should the board
see fit to cancel the certificates and re
fuse to issue a deed. The land involved
in the opinion which was rendered by
the attorney-general aggregates about
60,000 acres of valuable timber land,
situated principally in the Cascade
mountains. The question aroso anl was
submitted to the attorney-general upon
information seceured by State Land
Agent Oswald West in making a varch
of the records.
The question which the attorney-general
was asked to pass upon was wheth
er the state land Iwrnrd has express or
implied power to cancel, without notice,
certificates of sale where they have
been issued on fraudulent applications.
In deciding the question Mr. Crawford
says that while the board may have
the power to cancel a certificate, the
holder thereof has the right to a hear
ing upon the matter and that it would
be an unwise act upon the "art of th,e
board to attempt to act arbitrarily in
the matter. Kxtraets from tho attorney-general's
opinion to the, governor
follow: i , -

plications to purchase school lands,
filed during the months of November
and December, 1900,' were - fraudulent

A dispatch from Cellingham, Wash
ington, which appeared in the States
man of yesterday, chronicled the brutal
and cold-blooded murder of Fred I.
Dames, a butcher of that city, on Wed
nesday morning. He was killed in his
own meat' market, supposedly for bis
money, by parties unknqwn, who, after
lacerating his head in a horrible man
ner, drove a- steel nkewer through his
head. Mr. Dames, the murdered man,1
was not known here' to any great ex
tent but was formerly in business in
Portland.' Q, 1. Parrish, deputy clerk
in the office of the clerk of the state
land board, of this city,' however, is
well acquainted with him, in fact, has
known him since 1879 'when he was in
business in Bodie, California. Mr. Par
Hslr Whleniployed with him in New
Mex'ic,.i 1831-82, and kept books for
him. in. iiortland in 1901-02, and has
kept UTTouc'Swith him by letter at long
intervals for the past twenty jears.
In speaarng of his friend yesterday
Mr. Parrish said:
"Fred L. Dames was a union soldier
and well known, in the west from Texas
to British Columbia. He was born in
New York,' but s of German parentage.
At the a'e of IS years he enlisted in
the' uni'oh army and passed through
many battles losing t.bo second finger
of his left hand at the battle of Shiioh.
At the close of the war he came west
and has never heard of nor correspond
ed with any of his relatives. It is not
kno'wn wbether any survive him or net.
He rarely discussed or Referred to ! his
parents or early, life with his most J in
timate friends.
"He w'aVjin all of the principal min
ing cam'pT ituring the 70 's and 80 's, in
California and Nevada. I a 1878 he
went to Jicidie California, from Vir
ginia City, Nevada, where ho had been
during the mining boom. At Bodie he
was employed in the market of J. N.
Summers and Tom Richey for two
years and xhen opened a market for
himself. In 1880 he went to Las Vegas,
New Mexico, opening a shop there and
remaining but a year. In 1884 he Was
at Gunnison, Colorado, and 1885-6 at
Copper City, Californa. From there he"
went to Austin, Nevada, and then to
Port Arthur, Texas, where he remained
until 1896. He came to Portland in
1899, and conducted a meat market at
149 First street until early in 1903,
when he went to Bellingaaui, where ho
met his death so foully
"Mr. Dames was a butcher by trade
and a large, robust, clean man, of pleas-
ing appearance and fine business tact,
and, at the age of . 60 was capable of
doing a day's work equal to any' man
of 30. ne had no bad habits, retired
and arose early and was always atten
tive to business. He had a reputation
of running his business in a straight
forward and cleanly manner, and his
former Portland customers will 'doubt
less regret to learn of his sad fate. The
brutal robbers were undoubtedly poorly
paid for their heinous erime, as it was
the custom of Mr. Dames to daily de
posit his receipts in the bank.'.' '
, (From Wednesday's Daily.).
The 'state land board has been called
upon to act upon the question of .wheth
er the board has the authority to can
cel ft certificate of sale of state school
land in cases wherein there appears ts
be fraud upon the face of the transac
tion. This question was placed before
the board directly yesterday afternoon t
when James K. Sears of McCoy, Polk
county, made application for the pur
chase of J20 acres of timber land which
was sold bw the state as school land
four years ceo.
The records show that the land was
sold to Fred Palmer of thig city, on
March 14, 1901, and Mr. Sears alleges
in bis affidavit, which accompanies his
application for the purchase of the
land, that the application was fraudu
lent in that the applicant did not pur
chase the land for his own use and beu
efit, as the state law requires, but that
it was purchased for One W. D. Mohney
who furnished the money for the first
payment and to whom the certificate
was assigned. Mr. Sears raises the
question by entering a protest against
the issuance of 'tho deed of sale.
The land in question is situated in
the eastern part of this county, near
Klkhom, and is said, to be valuable
timber ,land. There are hundreds of
such cases upon thef records of the state
land office and aggregate several hun
dred thousand acres of school land. Mr.
Sears savs that he anticipates the ac
tion of the boaM in cancelling the cer
tificates in these cases and that be. ap
plied for the purchase of the land in
order to have the preference ritfht when
such action is taken. He states that
his three daughters will also make sim
ilar application in the course of a few
days for the purchase of other half sec
tions of land involved in transactions
of this nature.
It is auite probable that Attorney
General Crawford will pass upon the
questions submitted by the governor
last week, and which cover the points
involved in this case, in a few davs
when the board will be prepared to take
official action in the matter. In- the
meantime the Sears' application has
been taken under advisement indefinitely.
