ARMSTRONG CASE is FILED
Errors Found in Papers Sent to Su
preme Tribunal On His Appeal.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 1.-THE bill of
exceptions in the case of Pleasant Arm
strong has been filed in the supreme
court on appeal from the circuit court
for Baker county. The appeal is Ia
ken upon the grounds as stated sever
al times before, that the law under
which the crime was committed, and
the warrant of execution issued, had
been repealed, and that the new law,
especially that clause of the Rand act,
passed at the recent special session,
which provided directly for the execu-
ton of Armstrong, was ex post facto
as to his case. The proceedings, as to
the filing of the papers. are somewhat
irregular in this case as, instead of fill
ing the bill of exceptions alone, the
complete transcript of appeal should
have been filed in the supreme court.
1t is thought that the attorneys have
made blunder. which they will no

GOES TO LEWIS COUNTY.
Judge Dunbar Euys Two Hundred
Acre Farm.

HEHAIIS.-George Geissler, of
this city has sold his 2O0-acre farm on
the plank road three miles southeast of
Chehalis to Judge r. O. Dunbar of the
supreme court Of Washington.
The latter has for some time been
getting together fine herd Of Red
Polled cattle until now he possesses
the finest herd Of these animals west
OF the ROCK mountains. The judge has
been caring for these on his farm near
Olympia for some time past, but as
soon as arrangements can be made to

will make his home eventually.

inside workings. They will naturally

aries and will let us into the facts"
How do you expect to secure your
supply of cattle? Will not the trust
try to shut YOU out?'
We can buy them on the open mar
ket just as well as the trust or any
local butcher. We have stood the
and it is now a question Of life or
death to have competition or no COM
petition. There is a constant demand
for beef and if you buy right you can
sell right. The trust makes the most
profit on the by-products, for it has its
own tanneries and glue factories and
plates for all other purposes. 1t has
a practical monopoly Of the poultry.
Last year Armour bought immense
quantities of apples and filled cold
trust is gradually monopolizing the
trade in all good products"
Has the controversy with regard to
lease of Indian lands been settled?"
The Dawes commission has ap-
proved the lease of some valuable oil
land in the Cherokee country to Cud
ahy; in fact it had done so before the
treaty with the Cherokees for the al
lotment of land in severalty had been
ratified so that the allotments are sub
ject to this lease" answered Mr.. Fray
Ser, who is a citizen of the Cherokee
Nation, having married an Indian wife,
who has accompanied him to the con-
vention.
The treaty provides that each In
dian shall be allowed 1925 worth Of
land besides his share of the money
the government holds in trust. The
land was divided into six classes, rang
ing in value from so cents to $3.50 an
acre, and was classified by apprais-
ers sent out by the Dawes commission.
An Indian may select $50 acres of So
cent land or SO acres of $3.50 land and
so on. But the appraisers were mex
perienced men who did not know the
value of land and they appraised it too
high in some localities and too low in
others. Complaint has been made that
some 50-cent land is worth much more
and some $50 land much less. Filings
are being made now and appeals have
been made from the appraisement to
the commission, but it has not been
rectifled. The government has found
that many things were going wrong
and has sent Charles J. Bonaparte and
another lawyer to investigate. l have
heard a great deal of talk about
crookedness in the acts of the con-
vention, but do not know anything of
it myself.
There are no cattle leases in the
Cherokee country, but a number of oil
leases have been given in the Bartles-
vile district, which is 80 miles long, so

CATTLEMEN FAVOR ESTABLISH.
MENT OF INDEPENDENT ONE
TO COMPETE WITH TRUST.
All Believe They Can Secure Ample
Capital to Launch the Enter
prise at Once.

Cattlemen from all sections of the
country are heartily in sympathy with
the movement for the establishment of
an independent packing plant to COM
pete with the beef trust, says the
Portland OregOnian. They declare that
the trust plants are hugely over pi-
taliZed and that the trust is beating
down the price of cattle and enhanc-
ing the price Of meat in order to earn
profit on the watered capital. They
believe they have ample capital to
launch the enterprise, can secure the
skilled men to manage the plants, can
compete with the trust in the purchase
of cattle and the sale of beef and can
secure fair treatment from the rail-
roads, which are as great sufferers
from the methods of the trust as
themselves.
"An independent packing plant is
an absolute necessity and l have come
1000 miles to see that we make a sue
cess of it, said E. B. Prayer a cattle
man of Vinita. /. T., who is also presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Miami, l. T., and is one of the directors
OF the Independent Packing company.
''The first thing to consider is to get
the stock subscribed. A committee
will then be appointed probably to in
vestigate and find the best locality to
put the plant. My idea would be to
put about s1,500,0O0 in the plant itself
and have s3,500.OOO for operating pur-
poses
Would not the railroads discrimi-
nate against you?'
Il was talking to some railroad men
on the way here and they were very
liberal in their views. They said they
could not afford to antagonize anything
of such Importance. They would prob
ably discriminate against US a little at
first, but we shall soon find out the
facts and when they see that we are
going to stay, they will give us fair
treatment. We shall employ men who
have been with the trust and know it's

absorbed in conversation that he was

disturbed the reveries of the senator
as she approached him. She sum-
moned Proprietor Southgate when her

however she forgot the senator.
