MORE INDICTMENTS
SENSATIONS CONTINUE TO BE Elk.
POSED BY The OREGON JURY.
U. S. District Attorney Heney Is Sat
isfied More Men of Prominence Are
Connected With Extensive Land
Frauds-Jury to Be Discharged This
Week-Sen. Mtchell's Trial First.

Portland, Ore, Feb. More SEN
sational indictments of men of nation
al prominence will be returned this
week it is expected, by the grand jury
in connection with the land frauds
investigations. These indictments will
be made, it is said, as the outcome of
the jurys Investigations into the scrip
issues for lands included in the Blue
mountain forest reserve, in eastern
Oregon, and for lands situated in the
Cascade forest reserve, near Prineville,
the sheep raising center Of central Ore
gon.
Other indictments are to be return
ed, it is believed, against several gov
eminent officials and ex-officials whom
United States District Attorney Fran
els ]. Heney is satisfied he has evil
dence against sufficient to connect
with the extensive land frauds which
the government contends it has been
made the victim Of.
Another Jury to Take UP Work.
This work will consume the present
week, but no longer. Next Saturday
the jury will make it's final report and
be discharged for the term. In case
it is not able to finish it's work the
succeeding grand jury, which will be
drafted at the spring term of court,
will conclude the Investigations.
The abrupt termination of the work
Of the jury is due to the fact that
Mr.. Heney's presence is required in
Washington city to argue a motion for
habeas corpus in the Hyde-Benson
case before the supreme court OF the
United States, February 20.
Mr.. Heney will remain in Washing
ton a week or 10 days and then return
directly to this city to commence the
preparation of his cases for trial at
the session of the United States dis
trict court which begins April 10.
In the lull which has occurred be-
tween the indictments made last week
and those promised this week, specula
ton has centered upon the subject
of the trials, and especially as to which
will be the first to take place. The
general opinion is that since Senator
John H. Mitchell is the prominent fig
ure in the Investigations so far as they
have gone and as he has expressed a
desire for a speedy trial, his will be
the first.
Mr.. Heney appears equally anxious
to have the senator's case disposed OF
at the earliest possible moment, and
this is taken further to strengthen the
belief that Oregon's senior senator will
be the first to face arraignment before
Judge Bellinger next April.

REV. C. E. BENTLEY is DEAD.
Mystery Surrounds Prohibition Lead.
er's Death.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 6.-The
death of Rev. c. E. Bentley of Lincoln.
Neb., in a lodging house has furnished
a case somewhat puzzling to the police.
Rev. Bentley applied for a room
about 8 o'clock Saturday night. He
was accompanied by stylishly dress
ed woman, who wore a thick black
veil The landlady showed them to a
room, and while she was turning on
the light Bentley dropped to the floor
unconscious. The woman who accom-
panied him told tie landlady to go for
water, which she did. When she re-
turned a moment later the mysterious
woman had disappeared. Mrs. Doug
lass then went to seek assistance, but,
returning a few moments later, found
a young man by the name of Haines,
a lodger, holding Bentley's head. He
left, saying he was going for doctor,
but has not been seen since. Mrs.
Douglass finally summoned the police,
but Bentley was dead.
When search of his clothing was
made it was found that his gold watch
was missing and that his pockets con
tanned only a dollar and cents in
cash.
An autopsy was held, and it was
found that death was due to heart di
sease.

Terror in Finland.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 8.-The news
of the assassination of Soissalon Soini-
men. procurator general of Finland,
may be expected reproduce an immense
sensation when it becomes public, as
it Will be regarded as the precursor of
an era of terrorism of which the events
of January in st. Petersburg gave the
signal.
Until the indemnity of the assassin is
definitely known it will be impossible,
of course, to establish the motive of
the attempt; but the present circum-
stances in Finland render it almost Ger
tain that the crime is of the same ma
ture as the assassination of Count Bor-
ikotf, the governor general of Finland,
in June of last year. The Russifiation
of the province of Finland has been
meeting with great opposition and
creating much bitterness, especially
since the formation of the party of ac-
tive resistance, which is recruiting
from the holder spirits of the original
party of passive resistance and to
which the perpetrator of this latest
crime probably belonged.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 10.-The strike
situation has become of secondary i'm
portance in view of the renewal of the
agitation in favor of peace. For the
first time since the outbreak of the
strike the newspapers have taken up
the cry "Stop the war" and some of
these articles are so amazingly out
spoken and determined in their senti-
ments that it can only be supposed that
the censor has authority to permit the
peace sentiment to spread among the
people. probably in the expectation
that sudden cessation of hostilities
would otherwise come as toomuch Of q
shock to the war party.
The press of South Russia has taken
the lead this time. Several of these
papers in their issues of Thursday print
lengthy articles in which they say in
as many words that sthe ilcompe elce
of the Russian commanders in the far
east was now proven to the exclusion
of all doubts and that the commissariat
has been convicted, by the weight of
incontrovertible facts, of criminal
shortcomings. These journals point
out that as reform in these directions
connot, be Instituted at this time with
idea of success, it is the government s
duty to end campaign which must
end disastrously. Russia, they say,
stands blameless in the eyes of the
world, for she has become the victim
of circumstap ces which no one could
foresee at the beginning of the war and
which will be accepted by all fair
minded nations as full justification for
thed abandonment of her Manchurian
policy.
Reports have also been received here
of demonstrations in favor of peace
which took place within the past few
days in south Russian cities. Crowds
assembled in the streets and were suf-
fered by the police to listen to speakers
who condemned the government for
continuing a hopeless struggle at the
expense of the people.

Blind till lifes end, and ended all his roaming,
All, never, never more
To see the white crests of the breakers foaInina
On Devons rugged shore.
Never again to see the tall ships flying
On wings OF snow,
Never to hear the eager voices crying
TITS westward how
Gone like dream the wild old days forever
The struggle and the fight;
And the long march of steadfast stern endeavor
Through tropic day and night.
Gone the mad lust to the Spanard lying
Slain by his hand,
To pay the debt of that dear brother dying
In foreign land.
So peace has come after the struggle dreary
The right has conquered wrong
And falls like balm mind and soul aweary
Ayacanora's song.
HSs wife forever-never to be parted
Sorrow is dumb
And Hate and Pride have evermore departed
When Love is come.

That Rubber Factory.

An Optic reporters attention was
today called to the fact that, years
ago, B. +. Spencer, the Denver min
ing man who operated mines In these
parts, principally in Mora county,
brought to the city specimens OF rub
Der plant similar to the weed that
grows in Colorado.
These were sent to an experienc-
ed and successful rubber manufaclur-
er in Akron, Ohio. connected with the
Goodyear rubber factory in that city.
Most favorable reports were receiv.
ed from the New Mexico species and
a large supply Of the specimens was
sent to Akron by request.
However Mr.. Spencer was largely
interested In the rubber factory In
Salida, Colo, at the time, the enterprise
demanding much Of his time and atten-
tion. and the Las Vegas matter was
allowed to drop.
Last year a Salt Lake party looked
over the ground with a view to es-
,ablishing a rubber factory here, was
highly well pleased with the outlook.
but for some reason this promoter
also ceased his exertions and the en-.
terprise has remained in statu quo
till the investigations made by F. r.
Marsh Of Colorado Springs last week.
