HERMANN IS THE
GREATEST RASCAL
+. j. HENEY SPEAKS OF
THE LAND FAUD CASES.
Williamson, Mitchell and Hermann
Are Certain of COnviction-Her-
mann the SmOotheSt RascaI-Iis
Tracks Closely Covered-Evidence
Against Mitchell is Abundant and
Damaging.

A special to the Oregon Daily Jour
nal from Washington says in regard
to F. ]. Heney's work in the land
frauds:
United States District Attorney
Heney of Oregon today appeared be-
fore the United States supreme court
to argue the Benson-Hyde land fraud
case against the writ of habeas cor
pus applied for by the California land
swindlers, who are. seeking to avoid
extradition to Washington.
Mr.. Heney arrived in Washington
yesterday and spent the day with
Secretary Hitchcock. The arguments
in the supreme court will probably
occupy three days, when Mr.. Heney
will return to San Francisco where he
will remain until April l, when he will
arrive in Portland to resume investi-
CATION of the land frauds.
In an interview with Mr.. Heney to-
day he stated:
THE government has a very strong
case against Senator Mitchell and
Representatives Williamson and Her
man. We have conclusive evidence
against all three. Mr.. Williamson is
as deep in the frauds as any of them
and is badly entangled in Eastern
Oregon, to which section his opera
| tions have been confined.
"Mr. Hermann was the shrewdest
and most cunning of them all and has
cleverly covered his tracks so that il
has been most difficult to obtain evil
dence against him. Mitchell's case
is the most conspicuous of them all
and the evidence against him the
most damaging.
"Mitchells secretary, Henry Rob-
ertson, has been placed in a false
light accused of betraying his en-
ployer. This is not the case. He
had either to perjure himself or
make confessions which would be
damaging to Senator Mitchell, and he
did the only thing possible for an
honest manifold the truth"
Mr.. Heney has been summoned to
call on the president before leaving
Washington.

GIVEN BY FRANCE TO AMERICA
Replica of Famous Bust OF George
Washington.

Washington, Feb. 22.-M. Jusser-
and, the French ambassador, on be-
half OF the people of France, today
presented to congress the bronze
bust OF George Washington, which,
like the Bartholdi statue in New York
and the Lafayette statue in this city,
is testimonial of the esteem in
which this country is held by the sis
ter republic across the seas. Simple.
but impressive ceremonies accompan-
led the presentation and acceptance
OF the gift. the speakers including
several senator's and representatives,
In addition to the French ambassa-
dor,
The bust, which is of bronze
mounted on a beautiful marble pc
destal, is a replica of the original bust
made by the sculptor, David dan
gers, in 1923. The cost of the bust
was betrayed by public subscriptions
collected throughout France. The
list of subscribers was headed with
the names of the descendants of the
French officers who fought in the
American revolution, among them be-
ing the Comte de Rochambeau, the
Marquis de Lafayette and the Mar
quis de Grasse,

The reason that Vinol accomplishes
such wonderful results in throat,
bronchial and lung troubles is be-
cause it contains in a concentrated
form all the vital principles of cod
liver oil, but without a drop of oil
to nauseate and upset the stomach
and retard its medicinal value the
weakest stomach can retain it and 1t
is delicious to the taste.
Vinol is the most valuable prepara-
tion of cod liver oil ever discovered,
and we ask every person in Pendleton

Portland has over $50 miles of
street railway. In 1904 more than
| 1000 new buildings were erected.
1t has at present a population of
400 which, to quote once more
that eminent authority, the Chamber
of Commerce Bulletin, is to increase
to 100000 in 1908. or course, the
verification of this last figure would
seem to involve somewhat phenome-
velt's suggestion on the race suicide
question. but no doubt the city will
rise to the occasion.
While Portland has not at its front
doors the fair water prospects which
have made the cities of Puget Sound
famous yet here are nearly 1000 miles
of navigable inland waterways, which
within easy reaching distance, offers
to visitor and resident some of the
most enjoyable water trips to be found
anywhere.

The March issue of the Col
legian, the students periodical
at Brookings Agricultural col
lege speaks pretty plainly con-
corning political meddling with
the state schools. It says:
Perhaps it is an inevitable re-
suit of the present system that
politics and patronage are per-
mitted to play so high a 'hand.
Whatever it be, something ought
to be amended so as to eliminate
the state educational institutions
from the field of political exploit
tations. The cause of education
is far too sacred to be sacrificed
on the altar of personal or poli+i.
cal ambition. The present state
Of affairs is positively demoraliz
ing in its effect upon the work
and general spirit of the institu
ton"

Farmers Institutes

The law passed at the last SEES
sion of the legislature provides
for a farmers institute board OF
three members who are the
president of the agricultural col
lege, fortunately no longer a
preacher whose main qualltica-
ton was his pull on one member
of the board of regents, and two
members of the board of regents
who are the members of the
board who act on the committee
for the agricultural college.
They shall have authority to
hold institutes of not to exceed
three days at such times and
places within the state as in
their judgment the needs of the
people demand"
There are about 40 well set
tied counties in the state where
institutes should be held, wheth-
er this board in their wisdom so
conclude or not, and as the APP
preparation is only $4,000, and
two years must elapse before an
other appropriation is possible,
only S125 would be available for
holding two annual institutes in
each of these counties. The al
lowance of S62.50 for a three
days institute will not premit of
very lavish expenditure.
Possibly the institute board,
in the exercise of it's autocratic
power, may decide that the
needs of the people demand"
institutes in only about half of
these settled counties, or only
every other year. The tax pay
ers in every county have to pay
their share of the tax levied for
institutes but they can not all
have them, that is certain.

I AND
Proof That the Real Brand of 1T Ex-
lists In South America


"Every country has its heroes. and 1t
is refreshing to read something Of the
heroic in the history of the countries
south of us" said a thoughtful man.
I'm a history of South America atten-
ton is called to a number Of things
estimate of valor and heroism in that
section of the world may not be alto
gether the correct one. 1t Is related
that once the Peruvian monitor Huas-
car fought against three Chilean ships.
"After both Admiral Grau and his
flag lieutenant were killed Captain
Aguirre took command, was killed, and
then succeeded by Captain Carbajal,
who was put hors de combat by a shell.
The command devolved then on Lieu.
tenant Rodrigue, who was killed; then
on Lieutenant Palacious, who was dis
abled, and finally Lieutenant Gareyon,
with the ship on fire, three feet of wa
ter in the hold and with a loss Of half
his officers and crew, was forced to
strike his flag. On July %, 1879, the
Huascar was in action against the
Chilean ship Abtao. Torpedoes at that
time were not much understood, and
one, being fired from the Huascar,
through faulty mechanism returned
back straight upon the ship. Seeing
this and knowing that if the ship was
struck she must sink, Lieutenant Diaz
Cansco jumped overheard and in the
water with his hands altered its course
Just before it came in contact with the
Ship"

ABERDEEN, S. D., MARCH "a, 1907
Machine VS.. President

The machine organ, par excel
lence, has spoken concerning
federal patronage in this state,
and President Roosevelt, who is
not loved by the gang, will please
take notice. The immediate
cause of irritation is the appre-
hension that the president is
likely to appoint Seth Bullock,
rough rider, to the position of
United States marshall to sue
coed E. G. Kennedy. The ma
chine organ says that this uncon-
sequential matter would not
cause a "perceptible" breach be-
tween the president and the gen.
tlemen who assume to be the
whole thing, although 1T might
cause a slight sensation deep
down." It is quite evident that
this appointment would cause
open rupture where now mutual
dislike is yelled by assumed
friendliness.
The fact is that a rupture ISM
evitable if Roosevelt forces his
fight against the railroads; and
the indications that he will are
growing stronger. Kittridge,
of course, is a railroad senator,
elected by railroads to serve the
railroads. The South Dakota
senator's have lined up against
the president recently. The
president is enough of a politi-
tan to realize that the only big
stick" that can be used to whip
the South Dakota senators into
line is the control of patronage.
If the good federal positions go
to the machine favorites it will
be after Kittridge and Gamble
pledge their support to admins
tration measures.
Roosevelt is a politician with a
remarkable record of successes
behind him to attest his claim to
that distinction. 1t might be
that he will find it necessary to
wrest his party from railroad
domination in this state. The
elements may be shaping for a
very interesting scrap in South
Dakota. The democrats will
climb up onto something and
watch the fur fly with keenest
enjoyment.

Pepys,

An electric resistance furnace was
used by Pepys in 1916 for the cementa-
ton Of iron. He took a piece Of pure,
soft iron and cut a slit along its length.
The slit was filled with diamond dust,
which was prevented from falling out
by fine iron wire. The portion Of the
wire containing the dust was wrapped
in mica. The wire thus charged waa
heated quickly to redness by the cur.
rent from a battery. On opening the
wire Pepys found that the diamond
dust had disappeared and that around
where 1t had been the wire had been
converted to steel.-London Engineer.

The machine organ seems to
be constantly haunted by the
ghost OF that primary bill. It
breaks out franticly every once
ina while to protest that the peo-
didn't want it anyway. The old
saying that murder will out is
painfully illustrated by this hap
less sheet. At times it seems "a
forget that the bill was not sub
mitted, and keeps on arguing
against its adoption at the polls,
recently distorting facts in re-
gard 70 the working Of the new
Wisconsin primary law to that
end.
