Now that the fruit season has en-
tirely passed an estimate can be made
of the volume Of the industry in the
Milton fruit district. The three
packing houses have closed for the
season, after being open since May l..
There have been shipped from the
Milton depot this year about 10000
crates of strawberries. These were
early this year, coming on the market
about May 8, demanding top notch
prices, being two weeks earlier than
Hood River. Three thousand crates
of cherries, 10000 crates of dewber-
ries. gooseberrles and currants, besides
hundreds of boxes Of asparagus, sacks
of peas and beans, three cars Of green
prunes, 30 cars of mixed fruit, 20
carloads of watermelons, and canta-
loups, and 25 carloads Of potatoes

In addition to all these persons who
purchased lands from him, Mckinley
referred to the State bank of La
Crosse, Wisconsin, the First National
Bank of Eugene, the First National
Bank of Roseburg and the Capital
National of Salem. Numerous in-
dividual references wre given, p. S.
Davidson of Hood River being the
only resident of Oregon.
These references were given by Nc
Kinley less than four months ago. He
had then been under conviction for
nearly year and two other indict-
ments by federal grand jury were
hanging over his head. He was well
aware of the Investigations of the
state land agent into the state school
land frauds, in which Mckinley had
been deeply involved, and must have
known that the evidence of his COM
plicity must soon come to light. 1t
is evident that be was playing des-
perate game and it is supposed that
both be and Puter must have been
sorely in need of funds. They turned
readily to the old methods by which
they had been making easy money for
several years.
Where Mckinley and Puter now are
is not known to the state land agent.

pected, they will be obliged to appear

the federal officials will at once begin
search for them.
H. HI Biggs, for whom warrant
has also been sworn out by Goddard,
appears to have played minor part
in the swindle. He figures as the
assignee of some of the forged certifi-
icates of state school lands, and
whether he had guilty knowledge of
all the details of the frauds is not yet
entirely clear.

900 SWINDLE
100000 ACRES OF STATE LAND
SOLD BY FRAUD.
Principals Not Found But Kay Nc
Kay and G J. Hibbard Are
In the Tolls.

Trouble is again brewing for s. A.
d. Puter and Horace Mckinley, Of
land fraud fame, and two arrests have
been made within the past SO hours
of persons charged with conspiracy
with them iu forging deeds and
certificates of state school lands, says
the Portland Journal.
Kay Mckay was taken into custody
yesterday by the police of Seattle on
warrant sworn out by Hiram GODDARD
of La Crosse, Wisconsin, charging
him with forgery, and George J, Hib-
bard of Portland was arrested Friday
night on the same charge but was re-
leased yesterday morning, the authori-
ties having become convinced that he
was at most only the innocent tool Of
the smooth swindlers who were the
moving spirits in the frauds.
Warrants are out for Puter, Nc
Kinley, H. II. Biggs and two other
members of the gang whose identity
is hidden under the name of "John
Doe" and Richard Roe." Hiram
Goddard, lumberman and banker of
La Crosse, Wisconsin, swore to the
complaints and his losses through the
operations of the gang are placed as
high as 100000.
By means of forged deeds purport-
ing to convey from the state of Ore
gon 1000 acres of valuable timber
lands, he was parted from his money.
Goddard has invoked the aid OF the
state laws of Wisconsin to punish the
men who swindled him and if develop
ments should warrant it, the govern
ment will doubtless take hand in the
proceedings.
Evidence has been placed in the
hands of State Land Agent West
which will play an important part in
the proceedings when the defendants
are placed OH trial. George J. Hib-
bard has turned over a number of let
ters which passed between himself and
Mckinley, as well as correspondence
with two Seattle attorneys-E. q.
Rognon and 3. K. Hawkings-who
were retained by Mckinley aud whose
written opinions were useful aids in
forwarding his schemes.
A remarkable feature of the cores
pondence is list of references which
Mckinley gave to Hibbard in August
Of this year, as evidence of his own
integrity and trustworthyness. Nc
/ Kinley wrote that he had sold about
| 10O,0 acres of lands in Oregon and

have been shipped, while there are
still that many potatoes in the hands
of the farmers. Peaches and pears
were almost total failure, 5000
boxes being shipped.
About $50 persons were employed
in the packing houses alone, and to
these men, women, boys aud girls
more than $1,000 was paid for their
labor. Something more than $75, :
900 was paid the fruit raisers for the
produce.
In addition to that shipped by rail
thousands of dollars worth was
hauled by team to Pendleton and
adjoining towns. Fruit growers re-
allied large profits, owing to the
scarcity of fruit in other sections of
the country. Perhaps the most profit
able ranch iu the community is that
of Jennie Gillis. who sold $1,000
worth of apples from four acre
orchard, besides peaches aud other
fruit.

SECRETARY TAFT
Royalty Entertained at Toxic by the
Mikado.

Toxic, July 27.-The emperor and
empress of Japan yesterday received
in audience and entertained at lunch
con the official members of Secretary
Taft's party.
Shortly before noon Secretary Taft
was driven to the Imperial palace in
the state carriage. American Minis
ter Griscom escorted Miss Alice
Roosevelt to the palace. Crowds o;
people lined the streets during the
passage of the visitors along the
streets to the palace. AT the palace
the imperial princes and princesses
attended by royal personages of the
emperor's household, military and
naval STATS, members of the cabinet
council of statesmen assisted in the
reception of Taft and party. The
court presented a brilliant spectacle
during the ceremonies.
