success, Roy Knabenshue, the Toledo
youth who first steered a dirigible bal
loon over New York city, is building
an airship here for a flight from this

been heard of it. The difficulty of
reaching it at the present time is
great, the lake being impossible either
by boat or sleigh.
Rev: John Semmens was in the city
yesterday making arrangements to go

from what point the relief party will
begin it's trip, whether from West Sell

The only method Of transportation
is by dog sled, and Mr.. Semmens will
take with him sled and a canoe. He
will be accompanied by party of
Indian guides. The area to be traversej
in search of the party is large, and
some time may elapse before any mes
sage arrives from the north.

A pretty little row has developed
in the Washington railway commission
over the election of a permanent Sec
rotary. ]. w. Lysons, secretary of the
republican state central committee,
had been temporarily filling the office,
and his work has been such that he
has won the Endorsement of Com
missioner Lawrence, who desires him
retained, is the report that comes from
Olympia.
Mr. Lawrence, under an agreement
between the members, is the Office
member of the commission, and has
been given practically full charge of
all the office and routine work. Com
missioner Mcmillan is now seeking to
secure the election of Clinton A.
Snowden of Tacoma for secretary. Mr..
Snowden was editor of the Tacoma
Ledger many years ago, and later was
Puyallup Indian commissioner. His
age is urged against him, as well as
his entire lack of knowledge of the
details of railroad freight matters.
Chairman Fairchild has not indi-
Gated which way he will cast the de-
Gliding vote, although he recently eX-
pressed himself strongly in praise of
the ability and energy Mr.. Lysons has
displayed in the position.

CHOATE COMING HOME.
To Resign as Ambassador to England
After the Inauguration.

London, Dec. 31.-While numerous
statements have been published here
that Ambassador Choate is about to
retire from diplomatic circles, it can
be stated that Mr.. Choate has not sent
in his resignation or any communica-
ton on the subject to President Roose-
velt or the State department, nor has
he received any inquiry either from
the president or Secretary Hay concern
ing his future plans. It can be safely
asserted, however, that it is Mr.. Cho-
ate's intention to tender his resigna-
tion soon after the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt
"Six years is long time slice out of
the life of a man of my age" said Mr..
Choate, recently, to friends here, "and
while I have enjoyed the life and peo-
pie 1 have met in England, I have de-
termined to go home and devote the re-
mainder of my time to looking after
my own affairs"

Federal Grand Jury Files New Indict-
ments in Land Case.

Portland, Dec. 29.-The Federal
grand jury made its second public ap-
pearance yesterday afteronon, at which
time it returned indictments against
Salmon B. Ormsby, of Salem; William
H. Davis, of Albany; Clark E. Loomis,
of Eugene; Henry A. Young, George
Sorenson, of Portland; John Doe and
Richard Roe. The charge is that the
indicted men entered into conspiracy
on December 20, 1901, having as their
object the defrauding> of the govern
ment of the United States out of por-
tion of it's public lands in township IL
south, of range east, and that by
means of false and forged affidavits and
proofs of homestead entry and settle
ment, some in the names of real and
some in the names of fictitious persons,
the government was induced to issue
patents to the lands.
It is charged that in furtherance OF
the conspiracy William H. Davis5swore
to an affidavit before S. B. Ormsby in
which he said that he had resided upon
the claim taken by him as by law re.
quired, and it is also alleged that the
conspiracy was part of the one entered
into by S. A. D. Puter, Horace G. Nc.
Kinley, D. W. Tarpley and Emma L
Watson.

PRESIDENT TO GIVE HIS VIEW
No Railroad Administration Measure
To Be Sent to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 80. - President
Roosevelt embraced the opportunity to
day to take up with the members of
the cabinet many questions of detail
in departmental administration, the
semi-weekly meeting Of the cabinet
being longer than usual At the con-
clusion of the meeting the members of
the cabinet said in response to inqui-
ries that little business of serious i'm
portance was considered.
After other members of the cabinet
had left the executive offices, Attorney
General Moody discussed with the pres
ident some phases of the railroad
freight questions. Both the president
and the attorney general recently have
devoted much time to that problem
The latter is giving particular atten-
ton to the legal side of the question,
SO that he may be prepared to advise
with the president on the subject and
with such members of congress as may
wish to consult him. It is understood
not to be the intention of the presi-
dent and attorney general to prepare
and press the consideration in congress
of an administration measure" deal
ing with the railroad freight problem.
Such bill, it is thought, Ito quote
member of the cabinet), would be
destined to defeat.

IN FOG AND ICE.
Great Storm Rages from Rocky Noun
tains to Atlantic.


Chicago, Dec. 29.-One of the sever
est storms of recent years has ragged
throughout the territory lying between
the Rocky mountains and the Great
lakes since early this morning, and has
caused much trouble to street car COM
panies, railroads and telegraph COM
panies. The latter were the greatest
sufferers from the blizzard, which
swept through the West and Northwest
during the last "a hours, and which
was preceded by heavy fog and driz-
zling rain, which made the wires almost
unworkable.
The intense cold and terrific gale
that followed close upon the fog coated
the wires with ice, and later in the day
threw poles to the ground, crippling
the companies badly. Railroad trains
were badly delayed all through the
west, some of them being "a hours late.
Street-car traffic in all the cities of the
West and Northwest was practically at
standstill at some time during the
day.
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last 15
years. Counting the fog as a COM
ponent part of the storm, it stretched
from the Rocky mountains to New
York, and from Winnipeg to New Or
leans

Senator Mitchell and Represent
alive Hermann Appear.
WERE CALLED BY GOVERNMENT
Congressman Were Not Informed Be-
fore They Entered Jury Room of
Testimony Against Them.

Portland, Dec. 29.-The Federal
grand jury listened to the testimony of
Senator Mitchell all of yesterday morn
ing and for part of the afternoon.
The rest of the time was taken up by
Representative Hermann, who was in
the jury room when the session was adj
journed for the day. He will resume
his examination this morning and will
in all probability finish by noon. In
spite of the fact that both Senator
Mitchell and Mr.. Hermann had an
nounced that they would not appear
before the jury unless the names of the
government witnesses and the charges
to be made against them were shown
prior to their entrance to the jury
room, both congressman were ready to
answer the call of the government at
torneys when it came
Senator Mitchell went into the room
at 10 o'clock in the morning and re-
mained until noon. The senator is
much chagrined at the notoriety he is
receiving as the result of the land fraud
investigations and does not take kindly
to any of those who are conducting the
case. Before entering the room in the
morning he was silent and distant.
He emerged at noon tired and showing
the strain which the ordeal had ap-
parently been to him. Upon the con-
clusion of his testimony in the after
noon he left the building for his hotel.
The afternoon with the jurors might
have been session of congress, how
ever, for all the effect it had upon Mr..
Hermann. He appeared shortly after
O'Clock in the afternoon and went in
to seclusion in the inner office of the
district attorney, after he had greeted a
few acquaintance in the outer office
and the hall. When called to the jury
room shortly before o'clock he shook
hands with those whom he knew in the
corridor and patted Mr.. Heney heart
lily on the back as he entered the door.
When the session had closed for the
afternoon, Mr.. Hermann remained in
the jury room for some time conversing
with Mr.. Heney and the jurors, among
whom he found several whom he had
known in various parts of the state.
These he gave cordial handshakes.
