session for the reason that it is expect
ed the jury will return several indict-
ments for the smuggling of opium and
Chinese. A list of those whom 1t is ex-

names of two ex-United States officials.
Geo. w. Olds.-of Bellvue, was chosen
foreman of the jury. A noticeable fact
about the jury is that it is composed
mostly of men from the 17;Ss.hey counties,
only one man from Portland being
among them. In his instructions Judge
Bellinger specially referred to the de-
posting in the mail publications of an
obscene and lewd character. No speci-
flc reference was made to smuggling.
The State grand jury today indicted
the sheriff, treasurer and clerk of Multi
nonaah county for neglect to publish
semi-annual statements of the county's
financial condition as required by stat
