PORTLAND. Nov. as-The trial Of Will

opium began in the United States district
court this morning. The trial is on two
indictments. one containing eight, the
osiler tive counts. The total amount OF
opium which il Is alleged Dunbar is i'm
plicated in smuggling within period of
about one year. from March. is92, to
March. 1898. is s.645 pounds. At noon a
jury was impane!ed. In the opening
statement the government outlined the
particulars of each count in detail, show

The defense.ciaims that the indictments
are the result of . conspiracy Of polsroons
and petty politicians.
The principal witness called by the gov
ernment this afternoon was Nathan Blum,
also q stockholder in the Merchants
Steamship Company. Blum yesterday
pleaded guilty to smuggling opium, and 1t
is understood that the prosecution is rely
Ing on his testimony principally TO secure
conviction of the others. Blum proved to
be very willing witness, and gave his tes-
timony in bravado manner. He testified
that from March, 1892, TO March. 1898. his
company smuggied from seven to nine
tons OF opium into this port valued at
about $4,000. He went into details,
showing that while his company was
ostensibly doing Wholesale grocery and
shipping business, their main source Of
revenue was from smuggied opium. which
was disposed of in this city and In San
Francisco. Blum, w. h. Jackling and
Mai. John Wilson, of Victoria. IL appears
from the testimony. bought all the opium
in Victoria and Vancouver, b. g.. and
there put il aboard steamers for this port
The drug Was usually shipped In bar
rels, and when the steamer reached .
point in the Columbia river few miles
from the city tho opium was thrown over
board and picked mp by men In small
boats, who had been sent to await the
steamers arrival. A number of tele-
grams which passed between Blum and
Dunbar were offered in evidence. When
they wished to refer TO . shipment Of
opium they used the words sacks Of pota-
toes, meaning pounds of opium" The
cross-exasnination OF Blum had just begun
when court adjourned until tomorrow.
