BIG STEALS PERPETRATED
. Half Million .: Acres of School Zand
Alleged to Have Been Fraudulent
ly Taken From State Through
s . Carelessness cf state Land.
y. Board Is Beport From -
Jury Boom,
j (From Saturday' Daily.)
Promptly at 1 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon the SJarion county grand jury
came into court and filed its report
covering the investigation made into
iAe state land, deals under the direction
if District Attorney J. H. JlcNary.
The reiort covers six typewritten pages
and recites in detail the findings of
the ury.' Several indictments against
parties alleged to have Deem connected
with fraudulent deals in state laud
were -also returned, but the identity
of the parties will be kept a secret
.until the arrests -have been made. As
.-there is no law, in Oregon making con
spiracy to defraud the state of its lands
..a crime it is presumed the indictments
contain 'charges cf forgery, perjury and
subornation of perjury, all of whieh
constitute crimes -under the statutes of
this state.
The grand jury reports that nearly
500,000 acres' of lanu have been secured
from the state upon fraudulent certifi
cates, and that the signatures to a large
number of the applications are forg-
eries, the balance -having been obtained
from those who for a paltry sum were
willhig to lend .thclr names to enable
speculators to defraud the state,
v A list of these fraudulent certificates
was furnished the state land board in
order to enable that body to take such
action as may be necessary to recover
fun title to the lands covered. The
grand jury charges that the sale- of
school lands has been -controlled by a
ring and urges the present land board
to make pn earnest endeavor to re
cover what it can of those lost through
fraud. -
The following is the report in full:
In the circuit court of t'.fe state of
Oregon for Marion county-.
: To the: lion. 'George. IT. Burnett,
judge of said court:
We, the grand jury, duly empanelled
at the regular April tern f this'court,
uejr leave ia rrruitt tH.it invrTa.
f ullyinquired into all eases brought bo
fore us and nave reported a true er not
a true bill in each Instance where the
parties have been bound over to await
our action.
Our attention-was called, after we
were convoned, by District Attorney
John If. MeN'ary to the fart that the
state of Oregon had been defrauded
out of largo tracts of school lands, and,
we have spent the greater portion of
our time since in investigating those
frauds. During the investigations te
district attorney or bis deputy have
been in constsnt attendance before our
body, and we also havo been material
ly assisted liy Mr; Oswald WesV state
land agent, and Mr. George C. Brown,
clerk of the state land board, which
conspiracy to defraud the state of its
una a, crime. The United States got
emraent has such- a statute, and is pros
ecuting most of its eases under . tie
same, as the statute of limitations does
not run' against such erimes until three
.years after the termination of the con
spiracy.- T ' : . ' t ;
"According to our instructions' from
the court we were confined, in bring
ing in indictments to the Court, to limit
fee same to those persons who - have
been guilty of forgery as defined by
section 1858 of Bellinger & Cotton
code; to those guilty j of perjury as de- I
fin A V.. do:,... - m x . . : I 1 - j .
to those guilty of subordination of
perjury and inciting perjury as de
fined by sections 1976 and 1877, , te
speetively, of said eode, and our inves
tigations have been greatlys limited
for the reason that, las instructed by
this eourt,' no persons guilty5 of the
above mentioned crimes could be In
dieted unless they had committed the
same within three years prior thereto,
and ' for the f nrtaer reason that : we
cannot take cognizance of erimes com
mitted in other than iMarion county,
Oregon. In a number of cases herein
after mentioned, the crime was eojn
mitted in other counties of the staton
most of them i Multnomah county, j
In looking into these matters we
have been brought to realize the gTeiat
Amount of time and expense whiiea
would necessarily attach to a thorough
investigation into each particular
transaction, and have therefore con
fined ourselves to the transactions of
the larger operators, and have left t e
smaller ones to the state land board,
whieh has full power, and whose duty
it is to loog after such matters.
We nave only gone over the trans
actions of the last three years, except
ing in those cases which . have been ,
brought to our attention by the state j
land agent, and where t'ne frauds were t
so palpable that we have ,felt it our J
duty to investigate them in order jto
collect sufficient evidence to enable .
the state land board to bring such pro
ceedings as shall be necessary to can
cel the deeds or certificates, and there
by save a vast sum to. the school fund.

j lem. Or. J Gentlemen: In your
recent investigations of the al
leged frauda in the purchase of
- state school lands we have gath
ered sufficient evidence of fraud
to justify us in calling your at-
: tent ion to' a large number of
! outstanding certificates, a list
of whieh is ' attached . hereto,
covering lands sold during the .
last five years.
; The records of the state land .
office show the lands sold under
certificate, but not yet deeded -to
be near 1,000,000 acres. Aft- -cr
an examination of the appli-
cations to purchase the land, we
are of ' the opinion that those
covered by tne attached list and
amounting ; to about 500,000
acres, are nearly all fraudulent,
'and should be fully investigated
by your body before deeds ara
issued. '
Many of the signatures , to
' these - applications have been,
'forged, and many are the signa
tures of ' irresponsible persons,
who, for a consideration, have
been induced to perjure them- ,
selves in order to assist certain
v persons in acquiring unlawfully
large bodies of school laittl.
, If, upon looking over these ap
plieatlpns, you are unable to de
tect fraud, the district attorney
will, no doubt, in due time, f ur
nisn you with abundance of evi
dence to satisfy you as to their
false and fraudulent character. .
The list attached does not pur
port to cover all those transac
tions which may be fraudulent,
as some may have been inadvert
ently omitted, and many small
transactions, which are unques
tionably fraudulent, have been
passed over owing to the great
amounf of time and expense
which would necessarily attaea -,
to such an extensive investiga- 1
tion. The latter will no doubt
be detected upon investigation
by your board. Tours very .'re- '

sage of the law raising the priee of
school land, and at the minimum priee
of 1. 25 per acre; the latter was sold
for $2.50 per acre. t
Nearly 200,000 acres of these fraud
vlently secured lands are within the
boundaries of tne proosed Blue Moun
ain reserve, and most of them were
purchased by manipulators who had re
ceived inside information that the re
serve, was about to be created. This
must be true,' for the reason that a
large number of the applications to
purchase were filed but a few days be
fore the notice of the withdrawal was
given publicity at Washington, i Had
the government not detected fraud and
made - the reserve permanent, these
fraudulent purchasers would have ex
changed "their lands, which cost them
but $1.25 per 'acre, with the govern
ment for valuable 'timber or other
lands, or would have sold taeir right
to' seleet, or "script" at prices rang
ing from fi to fj per acre, which would
have netted them over half a million
dollars. '
Should Ihe state eventually recover
these lands and tae reserve be made
permanent, it 'will 'be entitled to use
them as 1ase and select otner lands in
lieu thereof, and as. under the present
law, lieu lands must Jring at least $5
per acre, it will mean that the profits
of over half a million dollars will be
diverted from the pockets of the spec
tators to the Vehool fund, where it
rightfully ijeiongs. Even if the reserve
is not created and these lands are sold
to the highest bidder, it will mean a
vast addition to the school fund. There
may be some of it at the present time
which will not bring U5Q per acre, but
there is a large part of -the same
whieh will undoubtedly bring a much
larger figure and will more than off
set the other. . .
There is no question but that many
of the aeserves in this state have been
created for; the sole purpose of including-
: wifaia ; their boundaries : Tg
areas of school land, whieh have been
secured through the rankest kind ' of
fraud. Deeds have been issued for a
barge part of it and tb land ex
changed wit IT the government for oth
er lands, btit there is mueh of it yet
ia the ban3s of the operators, and we
consider it the duty of the state land
board and the attorney - general to in
vestigate the matter and take the nec
essary, steps to have -these transactions
set aside and recover the. lands to the
state.- v t . ' r: -: .. ' r ' - '
. The law. provides that the state land
board - shall not sell more than 320
acres of - school land to any . one" per

.While the - parties pnrehaing - these
lands have in most instances filed ap-
plieatians- that' would ' appear' regular
upon their face, yet a little investiga
tion upon the part of the state land
board would have enabled z them' s to
have established their fraudulent char
acter, and .thus saved the state thou
sands of acres of its test land, whieh
has bees delivered into the hands . of
these operators at the minimum price
of $L25 an acre, and without any ap
parent attempt to prevent the same. -A
greater part of the school lands of
the state, or at least those of any. value,
have been disposed of, and the pres
ent board should make an j earnest en
deavor to ; recover, what it en i of
those it has lost through irand.
. That the sales of school laads have
been controlled by a ring or Tings is a
matter about whieh "there is no ques
tion. - ' ' - -. '
Many of those who operated ia for
mer times are dead; some are living
and enjoyiBg the fruits of tneir opera
tions without fear of prosecution ow
ing"to the lapse of time.
The state has sold the amount of
115,000 acres of school lands, about
45,000 acres of whieu s in what is
now known as ' the- proposed Blue
Mountain reeerye. , The applications
for the, purchase of this land were
mostly filed in the months of Decem
ber, 1900; January,1 190l,s and -Aogust,
1902. The-same notary it supposed to
have taken the acknowledgment of all
these bogus applicants, and fao appli
cations were all filed by the one party
who made' the 'first payment, and all
subsequent payments have been made
by him or his assignees. T 4
v There are bo such parties in exist
ence 'as the applicants' for 'the purchase-
of this land, and - .the j names
signed to the certificates were almost
all written by one individual. The evi
dence of the forged character of these
certificates is now in the hands of the
district attorney. . ''
About 150,000 acres of.- this land
have been sold to speculators residing
in Multnomah' county, being in the
main land in the said reserve, and 'in
order to secure the land these opera
tors have' gone to innocent parties and
prevailed upon them to sign applica
tions for the purchase of the same, in
whiqh they swear before an officer
that the proposed purchase, is for
their own benefit and not for the pur
pose 'of speculation that they have so
contract or agreement", expressed . jor
implied, for thtf sale or disposition of
the land applied for in case they are
permitted to purchase the same, which i
affidavit is false, and the speculators
who procured th6e parties to make the
false oabs are guilty of subornation of
perjury- Theyi reside out of this
county, and therefore we are unable to
indict them, but the matter should 'be
brouzht by some one to the attention
of the krand jury in Multnomah coun
ty or the district attorney of the
Fourth Judicial district.
The applicants who make the false
oaths, we do not believe did so with a
criminal intent, for the. reason that
they were, toll ,iy, the speculators that
they were doing nothing wrong, and
that they were simply igning away a
right they had to purchase school
lands. In other words, they were sin.-
plv lied to and deceived by these
speculators for the purpose of defraud
ing the state "Of Oregon, inere . are
about 20,000 acres of laad purchased
by the same means by parties in Crook
county, Oregon; about 200,000 acres ia
various other parts of the state. Thert
are about 65,0QO acres of land pur
chased by specuiatoss residing in the
East through the same methods. We
will say that in most instances these
speculators approache'd young men and
caused them to commit technical per
jury, and in some instances young-wo
men also. We have not indieted any
of these people for the reason that we
believe most of-tbem had no criminal
intent or knowingly swore to false
statements, but ; have indicted air- of
the operators .'and speculators- who
have induced , these people to swmr
falsely and who havo 1 . committed
crimes within .Marion county, Ougou,
in the last three years.
In our dninion the state land boa ra
has been over-indulitcnt ; toward the
applicants for" school land, as it"
permitted tnem to maxe small - pay
ments on the certificates and by car
ryinir them for an indefinite time upon
their payment of interest npon the do
ferred payments, when they should
have made the -holders of the certifi
cates of sale "pay ;, the deferred install
ments pf the purchase,' price of said
lands promptly, as intended by tne law,
This requirement strictly enforced
would have prevented tthe persons
holding the said certificates from de
feating the state and counties out of
the tax justly due upon said land.
The laxity practiced by -the state
land board in this respeet should ! be
remedied, and each applicant or hold
er of certificate should be compelled to
comply strictly with the letter of the
law, to the end that the1 land applied
for might be subjected to its rightful
burden of taxation. Bsspeetfully sub

' Superintendent J. Aekerman has
just rcturnel from Seattle, where hfi
attended the Washington state teach
ers' institute. U has been .absent
from' the, city and his official duties
for the past ten days. : The Seattle
institute was ia session for fire days,
and Professor Aekerman pronounces it
aw most successful meeting, lie was
upon the program for several addresses
upon different.- educational subjects,
and, while he thinks, or at least' hopes,
that he imparted some little informa
tion along different unei to those in
attendance, he is certain that he
learned much that will be ' of great
benefit. to him. The attendance at the
institute numbered about 1,000 teach
ers and instructors, and 4 considerable
interest was manifest throughout.
'The institute system of the state
of Washington is different from ours,"
said the professor,"" and,' if anything,
possibly a little bit better,; although
ours is a good one. At -least this is so
in point of attendance. The Washing
ton county and "state institutes never
fail of a full attendance of teachers, as
any tailure of teachers to put in an
appearance for even a portion of a day
is charged up to the district to whieh
they belong and is deducted from the
regular 'allowance of such district
Their institutes are also of five days'
uuration, instead of three as in Ore
gon, -which gives the teacher and in
structors more time to concentrate their
minds upon the work and there is a
great deal more accomplished. When
the session lasts o"nly three days it usu
ally requires (the first day for the ice
to become broken; the. second day is
jevoted to work and the third the
teachers begin to, leave for home.'.
" Pretty Well Balanced, i t
"In, comparing the school systems of
the two state, while it may be said
that Washington has some advantages
fver us in some respects, it is also true
uat we have' equally as many advant
ages over them in others, so the scae
is pretty well balanced. There is con
siderable difference between the sys
tems ' of the two stales and I am not
prepared to sav whicn is the better;
neither would 1 care to u l xeit cap
able of so doing. One great difference
to.wuieh my attention was attracted
and that is the length of term and
term of service which are allowed the
county superintendents. ., Unlike our
laws, which give the county officer a
single term of four years and permitaj
him. to hold oHee jut"as long as the
people see fit tnat be snouid serve, tne
W asUVngon superintendents are elect
ed to office for a terra of two years
tnd. are limited to only two terms. I
Jo not wish to. criticize their law, but
( think it would be better if the super
intendents were allowed at leaet two
terms of four years each, as under the
present system" the official is constitu
tionally, obliged to retire just at the
time when be is beginning to give tho
best of service. ,
. Another advantage which 1 think
they have over us is the manner in
which their state district allowaace is
regulated.' Instead of allowing $50 to
each district, ns the Oregon laws pre
scribe,' the" state alowanee" is based
npon 2,000 lays' attendance and
amounts to about $0O to each district.
I (Iik not think it possible to secure
any change in the Oregon law in this
reopeet, as it has been attempted n por
liver occasions and only resulted; in
failure Senator Miller tried to get a
bill through the last legislature to in
crease thei district allowance to $100,
Sit the proposed law never saw th'
titrht of dy. The time may ebrne.
however, when the people ; of Oregon
wiAi realize the importance of increas
ing the semi-annual allowance to the
school districts, i .
Oregon Scheme Better.
'One feature of the Washington
iaw which came to rny notice, I can
not say that I like and I think our
system is much more satisfactory. This
is the manner in which the text books
are selected for the schools. In. Wash
ington each . ronnty -'has its text book
board, and each, county board, if it
sees fit, may select a different set of
text books from that of its neighbor.
urther than Jtfun, which I should think
would make it the more, eoafusing and
unsatisfactory, every city with eleven
school evades or over is authorize! to
select its own-text books for the
schools regardless of what ia chosen
by the text book board of the county"
in which it is situated. In my opinion
the Oregon system of having a state
text book co.nmission, to select a set
of text books for use all over the state,
nas a tendency to make the system of
education more uniform and satisfactory.
"Still another feature of their schoo1
System, which I must say that 1 do ap
prove of, is their method of distribu
tion of the state and county school
funds. Their system of distribution is
based npon the actual days' attend
ance in ftchonlft, instead of upon the
number of pupils in the district, as is
in force in Oregon.- While tfcev mar
lose a little "on account of non-attendance,
the law has the effect of creating
a personal interest on the part of. par
ents and taxpayers and aa apparent
tendency ; to inerease the attendance
npoa schools; -.Eerybody is interested
in keeping the -eniblren in school, and ,
t -at is the principal reason why the
state of Washington excels Oregon in
school 'attendance.'
