GUILTY AS CHARGED.
Verdict In the Williamson. ossner and
Hlggs Land Case.

Clgk& lana Casos
Portland, Sept. 2S. - '6uilty as
charged in the indictment" After
three trials, extending over three
months, John Newton Williamson,
Representative in congress from Ore
gon; DIR, Van Gesner, his partner, and
Marion r, Biggs, their friend and the
United States commissioner for the
general land office at Prineville. have
been declared to De guilty Of the crime
Of conspiracy to suborn perjury, and
have been thrown upon the leniency
Of the court, by reason Of their preyi.
GUS good character.
The long and tiresome third trial Of
the case has passed into history, but
unlike the first and second, it has been
productive ota decisive result. Once
more the cause Of the government and
the indefatigable energy of United
States District Attorney Heney have
been triumphant, and conviction has
come from the hands Ct jury selected
and sworn to try the guilt or innocence
Of the defendants upon the law and the
evidence.
But it was not a question easily de-
cided or quick of settlement, for the
jury wrestled with the decision from
$50 in the afternoon until Ii at night,
and it was eight minutes later before
the sealed envelope containing the fate
Of the three men was handed TO Judge
Hunt tor his perusal. For many bal
lots the jury stood II for conviction
and l for acquittal.
AS soon as the verdict had been read
Judge Hunt arose and thanked the jury
for their patient attention and uncom-
planning service throughout the trial.
He then dismissed them.
Turning then to the defendants and
their attorney, Judge Hunt asked if
there were any motions TO be made,
and Mr.. Bennett, shaking off the spell
which seemed to wrap him round,
asked to be allowed on behalf Of all
the defendants to file notice of motion
for new trial. Judge Hunt stated
that he would like to have the motion
filed as soon IS possible, as he desired
to leave the city within two weeks, but
he allowed ten days in which to COM
plete the written transcript of the mo-
tion and place 1t before the court.
The court announced that pending
the filing OF the motion the defendants
would be allowed to go on the same
bonds under which they are now rest.
ing. Then the court adjourned, and
without speaking the defendants filed
silently from the room and into the
night. They had no statements to
make, they said. 1t was not their
time to talk.

LET DOWN THE BARS.
Free Admission of Products of Phil
ippines Seems Likely.

tPPHFSa SSCtIla h~iNCiIs
San Francisco, Sept. 30.-William j.
Johnston, of New York, publisher Of
the American Exporter, who, az a
member of Secretary Taft's party, made
the trip to the Orient to investigate the
commercial conditions and the opportu.
mites for extending the sale Of Ameri-
can manufactures in the Philippines,
Japan and China, today said:
"While one cannot always accurately
forecast the action of congress, the in
dications are that Philippine sugar and
tobacco will be admitted into the Unit
ed States free of duty, as hemp now is.
If so, congress will probably think that
as matter of reciprocity American
machinery and appliances for develop
ing the industries OF the islands should
go to the Philippines free. In case,
however, that goods from this country
shall not be admitted free at once, on
the ground that the revenues will be
asked for time to meet the expenses
of the insular government, there is lit
tie doubt that at the latest this will
come at the time that the agreement
with Spain as to equal tariff privileges
in the Philippines shall expire in about
three years."

FIRE scoRcHEs COLON.
Two Blocks Are Cleared and Govern
ment Records Destroyed.

Colon, Sept. 29.-By sheer good luck
the city of Colon was saved from COM
plete destruction by FIRE last night.
The fire broke out in building next
to the residence of the Spanish consul,
and soon destroyed the Phoenix hotel,
an American-owned building, and two
other hotels, several liquor saloons and
several tenement buildings. Rowe's
building, containing the postoffice, the
offices of the municipality, of Governor
Melendez, the port inspectors, the ju-
dietary and other offices, together with
the tressuy building, were also burned.
A fire brigade from Panama bringing
engines and equipment arrived at l
o'clock, but by that time the fire was
under control.
Nearly all the records and documents
Of the government were destroyed. The
burned region comprises two blocks.
The American residential quarter was
not touched.
The sanitary authorities are erecting
tents in the fire zone to shelter the
homeless.
During the fire many harrowiong
scenes were witnessed. Among these
was the removal of the body of a To-
year old child. The child had died a
few minutes before the fire started.

Land Receipts Decline.

Washington, Sept. SO.-Because o.
the marked decrease in public land re.
ceipts during the past fiscal year, Ore.
gon contributed less to the Reclamation
fund than in any year since the passage
of the Reclamation act, and fell from
first to second place in extent Of public
land receipts. 1t is estimated that Ore.
gon during the year ending June sc
last, contributed $675,325 to the Re.
clamation fund. Washington contrib.
uted $522,209, and Idaho 1870, ,272
This decline is attributed to the land
fraud investigation and prosecutions.

pany the commission when it leaves

FRIDAY. JANUARY 81, 1905.
a WORD WITH BOYS.

Boys seldom realize the value of the
evening hours. If profitably employed,
the spare hours at the command of
every boy and girl would render them
intelligent and equip them for life
of usefulness. If these spare hours
are wasted, the opportunity for secur-
ing an equipment for life may never
return. Increasing years means in
creasing duties and eXacting demands
upon ones time. The boy who spends
an hour of each evening lounging idly
on street corners, wastes in the course
of year 800 hours, which, if applied
to study, would acquaint him with
the rudiments of the familiar sciences.
If, in addition to wasting an hour
each evening, he spends ten cents for
cigars. which is usually the case, the
amount thus wasted would pay for ten
of the leading periodicals in the
country.
Boys, you should think of these
things. You should think of how much
time and money you are wasting, and
for what? The qualification afforded
by a lounge on the corner, is not only
temporary, but it is positively hurtful.
y on can not indulge in them without
seriously injuring yourself. You &C
quire idle and wasteful habits, which
will cling to you with each succeeding
year. You may in after life shake
them off, but the probabilities are that
the habits thus formed in early life
will remain with you until your dying
day.
BE warned then in time, and resolve
that, as the hour spent in idleness is
gone forever, you will improve each
passing one, and thereby fit yourself
for usefulness and happiness.

Rail ROAD

We have not heard a word directly
from the Bay City projectors of the
Thumb railroad for over a month and
do not know what they are doing, if
anything. Another project is now in
the wind through to Detroit via Romeo.
Promoters are looking over the route
from Almont to Capac thence to Yale
and Peck and Sanilac Center. Either
road would be very acceptable but from
experience we are not very sanguine
of either.-Sanilac County Times.

Sunshine SCHOLARSHIPS.

Many of the Sunshine mem bers
know about the Alfred University
scholarship, but it will please all to hear
that we now have two scholarships
there, and two boys are this very day
enjoying the advantages. One is a
Bulgarian who passed the highest ex-
animation for the college course of
four years, and the other is a newsboy,
16 years old, who won the two years
scholarship.
The scholarship in the Packard Bust
ness College, New York, was secured
by young girl, who at the time was
only earning 50 week in milliner's
store, obliged to learn trade she had
no love for because she had no money
to pay for this necessary schooling.
Another scholarship, thorough edu-
cation in vocal and instrumental music,
is offered by Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich, of
New York City. This scholarship coy
ers harmony analysis, etc.
