were present. Mr.. Dietrich repeated
his wish that the investigation should
be the fullest possible.
Leopold Hahn, postmaster at Hast
ings from 1897 to 1901, was the first
witness. He related a conversation
with Mr. Fisher, April 20, 1901, rela-
tive to Fishers appointment as his
successor.
He asked me-" said the witness,
what the office paid. I told him
$4,000. He said that was what Diet
rich wanted him to pay for the office
He also told me that Adam Breed had
said that Dietrich had asked him
$4,000, or 800 a year for the four
years.
HE asked me-" the witness con-
tinued, what I had paid Senator
Thurston for my appointment and I
said not one cent? ,t&El
The witness also said that Fisher
had questioned him as to whether he
(Fisher) would have to pay a note
for the $4,000 if he should give one
and the witness said that he had vol
unteered to investigate that point for
him, and had done so, getting legal
advice that such "a note2would NOT be
negotiable.
AZ a later date, Fisher had come
to his store with a William Dutton,
and they had announced that they
were there for the purpose of fixing
up" the postoffice business, and he
retired. -.s..,~e .ss @.sf-&

MORMON PERIL
FELT IN WEST
How the Church Is Extending It's
Influence All Thru the
Coast States.
Insidious Methods Which Stop at
Nothing for Political and In
dustrial Control.
Special to The Journal.


Seattle, March 11.--Mormonism Is
by no means confined to Utah, but is
rapidly and by most insidious meth
DDS extending it's influence thru Ida
no. eastern Oregon, parts Of Montana
and is endeavoring to gain a foothold
In eastern Washington. So quietly
but energetically have the emissaries
of the Mormon church worked among
r their neighbors that their power out
4 side the borders of their own state
is great enough to give them the bal
ance of power In many counties, and
Il even turnout one whole state, yet citi-
.zens of the country at large know al
most nothing of 1t.
E The Mormons of Idaho control
practically every election. They are
not yet in sufficient majority to elect
men to office against all opposition,
but their leaders are crafty and play
the different parties against each
other with such adroitness that the
7 Mormon vote is courted, and men IA
.vorahle to the Latter Day saints rep
resent the state in the highest places
of the nation. One wing of the repub-
lican party is accused Of an alliance
with the Mormons. and the result is
e. general disruption in Idaho politi-
cal affairs.
Methods OF Work.
Their methods of work in eastern
Oregon are much the same as in Ida
no. At La Grande a big Mormon beet
sugar company has established fac
tory, and Mormon settlers are culti-
waiting several hundred acres of beets.
Near Walla Walla in this state a lit
tie settlement in the hills has existed
for years, and other settlers are now
appearing, while this big sugar COM
pany is making an arrangement with
an irrigation company by which an
other sugar factory is to be- placed in
the Yakima valley and a colony of the
followers Of Joseph Smith is to locate
IN the valley to grow the product for
the plant.
The west is becoming aroused over
the spread Of Mormonisn, so rapid
isits progress and so stealthy it's step.
Mormon missionaries are openly
PROSECUTING on the streets Of Seat
tie and placing their tracts before
each door in the city. They hold all
government and all law subservient
& make the vaunt that within 100 years
a Mormon Drelate will sit in the
White House as the president Of the
United States and that Mormonism
will rule supreme.
Power of the Rulers. "
The Mormons work in perfect har-
mony; there are no dissensions. The
rulers of the church have absolute
sway, and their will is more powerful
than the government of the state or
the mandates of congress. Nothing
daunts their enterprise or damrens
their enthusiasm, and their mission
aries, even in the southern states,
present to the ignorant and easily
guided the attractive features Of the
religion and win them over to belief
in the revelations to the latter day
prophets.

International Mercantile Agency Finds
New England Very Quiet, with Ac-

New York, March 11.1SpeciaI kilograms
from correspondents of the International
Mercantile Agency turnout the United
States show that spring trade, now about
completed, has fallen 10 or Is per cent
behind the total column distributed in the
first two Inonths of 1908. sa4 E*
The difference is nots SO great at New
York, but business in New England Is
undeniably quiet. Chicago merc hants find
the movement Of dry goods, clothing,
shoes and groceries about eqtal to that Of
q yearaago, but al st:SLeuis and Louis
Vile theresare gains this year. over last.
Minneapolis and st. Paul explain that the
northwest is very conservative and that
business Is about q 0 per cent less than
in March, 81 03, wiliie ats Philadelp hia the
falling off8in metals and some, other lines
is as much as 20 per cent. Pittsburg has
felt a like decline, but says recent large
purchases point to the long waited turn
in the tide ~ =
Special inquiry as 8 to winter wheat
shows that east of the Mississippi, except
in Ohio, recent weather conditions have
been favorable
Weather conditions have also favored
steel trade and a revival Of the building
industry, which, as shown by! the inter
national Mercantile Agency's canvass of
the situation at ten Of the larger; cities Of
the country, points to q decreased volume
this year as to value owing largely to
higher costs Of labor and raw materials.
Larger New York city contractors expect
the total to about equal that of last year.
At Philadelphia an increase is expected OF
from Is to 20 per cent and, Judging from
the character of new products at Chicago,
the year will rival 1908. Out of. the burned
district, Baltimore's building will not vary
materially. St. Paul and Minneapolis
each report a. probable decrease of about
40 per cent. <g$.
Philadelphia and Chicago each report a
tendency toward a decrease in Industrial
wages Leading metal and agricultural
prices incline higher.
