siding officers and for all who had
assisted in making the convention a
Roads association and Development
league adjourned at o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
The last number on the program
was an address by Judge ]. H. Scott,
president of the association, and it
was one of the most interesting OF the
session. In opening his address Judge
Scott thanked the local committee for
the efforts put forth In arranging for
the convention, and thanked the del
egates for their attendance. He then
reviewed the work of the meeting,
and advocated the formation of good
roads leagues to cooperate with the
county court in highway improve
ment This league he stated. should
be composed of all classes, and that
the burden of the work should not
be left entirely to the farmer. he
emphasized the fact that before leg
islation can be secured it is first
necessary for sentiment to be 50 crys-
talized that such Is demanded.
The judge spoke of the co-opera-
tive work that has been done in Mari
on county, and also of the use of con-
vict labor on the roads. The latter
re declared to be a success, declar-
ing that the convicts worked hard at
road building and that all that was
given them was 10 cents worth of to-
bacco a week. In speaking of ma
cadamizing, he stated that three lay
ers of rock should be used, the top
one forming a compact "roof" for the
road. and he also strongly recon-
mended the use of a roller in such
work
Following Judge Scott's address
Turner oliver arose and cordially in
vited the association to meet in the
city of La Grande for its next session;
or, if impossible at the next session. at
some one in the future.
A brief address was then made by
Col. r. w. Richardson, thanking the
delegation and the people of Pendle-
ton for the courtesy shown him, and
calling attention to the good roads day
at the fair.
Votes of thanks were then given to
Judge Scott and to A. Bennett, who
presided during the Development
league session, and the convention ad.
journed.

w. Vogel, a travelling oculist, well
known throughout eastern Washing
ton and oregon, who has been on a
professional stay in this section for
the past three weeks, has been ar
rested on a charge of horse stealing
on complaint made by w. w. Smith, a
liveryman OF La Grande, Or.
Vogel came here from Lewiston,
having in his possession the horse in
question which he had been using in
driving through the country to a sin
gle buggy. He was much upset at
the occurrence and shed copious tears
at the humiliation of having to pass
night in the county Jail. He main
tained he is innocent and says he had
the horse hired under specific. con-
tract.
The eye man has been making this
territory for the last 15 years and
has a good reputation here, and pub

TO TRY LAND FRAUD CASES.
Judge De Haven of California, TO Sit
in Bellinger's Case.

Judge De Haven, of the northern
district of California, who will come
soon to Portland to preside over the
federal court, was selected by Judge
Bellinger because he believed that the
California judge was possessed of
such ripe judicial wisdom, was so
acute in matters pertaining to land
laws, and was so unquestionably i'm
partial in his attitude on the bench,
that he would be best fitted to take
up the important work that must be
turned over to some other judge.
Judge De Haven has won a position
of distinction as jurist. He was born
in st. Joseph, Mo-, in 1S45, and was
taken by his parents to California
four years later in 1S49. His educa-
ton was obtained In the common
schools, and he was admitted to the
bar in 1866. From 1857 to 1869 he
was district attorney of Humboldt
county, was a member of the Califor-
mia legislature in 1869 to 1875, was
elected Judge of the superior court of
Humboldt county In 1884 and served
until 1889, was a member of con-
gress from 1889 to 1891, and associate
Justice of the California supreme
court. 1891 to 1895. He practiced
law in San Francisco from 1895 to
1897, and was appointed judge of the
federal court for Northern California,
June s, 1897.

DEFENSE ARGUES ALL DAY.
Claimed That the State Has Not
Proven Its Charges.

Chicago. May 17.-Attorney Plotke,
in behalf of Joann Hoch, the alleged
bigamist murderer, occupied the
whole day in his plea to the jury.
He claimed Hoch to be the victim
of the ponderous machinery of the
state, and that, even if he were the
vile man the prosecution claimed he
was, he was not guilty of the partic-
ular charge on which he is being
tried. There is no direct proof that
the defendant poisoned Mrs. Walcker
Hoch, all the circumstances cited by
the state being purely presumptive.
Mrs. Hoch undoubtedly died from nat
ural causes.
