Mayor Of Santiago Is After
HolduDs.

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 21.--There
has been number of exciting scenes
around the public slaughter houses
and meat houses here ON account Of
the increase in the price Of meat.
Tpoors had to be called upon 10 re-
store order. Later a movement was
started among the people not TO buy
any meat until prices were reduced.
This caused the mayor to take steps
TO punish the butchers. He estab-
lished meat depots In various parts OF
the country and meat will be sold
there to the people at the regular
prices. The prices on all aticles OF
food have gone up. but the action OF
the mayor is likely to prevent any
further extortion.

THE OREGON
LAND FRAUDS
State Swindled Out of Large
Tracts of Land

Portland, Ore, Aug. 22.-with
the completion Of the jury in the
United States district court In the
case Of the United States against
State Senator Franklin P. Mays, for
mer State Representative willard N.
Jones and George Sorenson, once a
deputy sheriff in Multnomah county,
the government forces cleared their
decks for action and in the opening
argument Of Francis J. Heney, spe-
cial assistant to the attorney general,
echoes we're heard Of battles that are
past, as we'll as the mutterings OF the
battle that Is at hand. Mr.. Henry
talked an hour and half, and dur
ing that time he outlined clearly and
definitely the alleged wholesale fraud
which the government charges the de-
PENDANTS and others planned to make
1t the victim Of an attempt, which, IL
the government lie right, makes any
other of the frauds In this state-in
fact, all Of them put together look
puny. 1t included an attempt to use
the lieu land act to obtain the most
valuable timber land in the state.
Mr.. Heney's outline Of what the
government claims it can prove, In
part follows:
eve expect to prove that the de-
PENDANTS In this case were implicated
in conspiracy whereby. they aobtain-
ed from 200, 900 to 800, 600 acres Of
school lands from the state by fraud.
These selections were in the proposed
boundaries Of the Blue Mountain for
est reserve, and these defendants
wanted to get the reserve created
Mr.. Heney then quoted the state
law, showing the method provided
for the purchase of school land.
He said a person could hold as
much land as he was able to pay for.
''He could not cause men to make
affidavit that they were taking them
up for their own use and benefit,

LANIER LICENSE
The City Council Takes Decisive
Action

An adjourned regular meeting Of
the council was held last evening for
the purpose of settling the Lanier Ii

city clerk, w. A. Andrew was elected

A petition of Chas. Perrenoud and
others asking that the alley between
Sherman and Lakeside streets from
Second and Third street be graded
WIS presented and read, and by raotion
the city attorney was directed to pre-
pare an ordinance declaring the in
tention of the city to grade the alley.
At this time there was some discus
sion on the raising of the saloon Ii
cense and Mr.. Varnam asked If the
board or chairman was ready to raise
the license to $500 if the number of
saloons be limited. Mayor Collins
stated that those would be the only
conditions on which he would favor
increasing the license to $500.
An ordinance providing for cement
sidewalks on Sherman street was pre-
sented and read, and after some dis
cussion the rules were suspended and
the ordinance passed by the three
readings.
This ordinance provides that all
sidewalks hereafter constructed with
in these limits be IL feet wide and
that they be made of the best quality
concrete with good foundation,

will be removed by order of the side

by Mayor Collins drew attention to
the fact that there were several addi-

attorney was instructed to prepare

The foregoing ticket was nominated
by the republicans of Illinois today
in a convention which was marked by
good feeling. -.
The presidential boom of Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon for 1908, which
was launched last week by his own
congressional district, was given an
enthusiastic Endorsement by the con-
vention.
The mention of Cannon's name
brought the convention to its feet,
and there was enthusiastic cheering.
The convention carried out the will
of Of the people of the state expressed
at the primaries few wekes ago by a
unanimous Endorsement of Senator
Shelby M. Cullom for reelection.
Outside of the Endorsement of Speak
er Cannon for president and Senator
Cullom for reelection there was little
OF general interest in the convention
proceedings. The fight for state tres
urer was the most spirited of the con-
vention, but Mr.. Smulski won easily
on the second ballot.
The resolutions contain an indorse-
ment of President RoOsevelt's admin
1stration, Illinois senators and repre-
sentatives in congress and of the ad-
ministartion of Governor Dineen.

observation-disclosures

The most important question before
the city council at present is that of
limiting the number of saloons nd
raising the license. What the people
have been asking is what revenue the
city receives from the saloons at pres
emit and what they would receive un-
der conditions existing after the Ii
eense is raised and the number limited.
w. A. Andrew stated today that at
present there were 10 saloons in the
city; that each Of the saloons paid
the city license of s100and a county
license of $500, and from this amount
of license the city received 80 per
cent of the city license and 40 per
cent Of the county license, making a
total Of $3.50 from each saloon for
one year, or "a, 900 for all. Should
the license be raised to $500 and the
number Of saloons be limited to 10,
the city would receive $3.50 instead
of the present ESQ and the total rev.
enue for the year would be about
s6570. Mayor Collins has stated
that he was in favor of raising the IL
cense to $500 il the number Of sa-
looms be limited and the majority Of
the council agree with Mayor Collins.
Should they pass an ordinance raising
the license, and limit the lumber Of
saloons, the ordinance would not so
into effect unit the license now
in force expires.

portant step. It means that in a
short time all Of the additions will
be assimilated and brought directly
into the city.
The question of the granting OF a
saloon license to ]. P. Lanier was
next taken up. No one seemed de-
sirous of handling the matter.
George williams arose and intimat-
ed to the members Of the board that
they we're not holding a Quaker meet
ing and made molten to the effect
that the license be granted. This
motion was seconded by Chas. Young.
Before the matter was put to vote w.
A. Andrew offered the following
amendment:
Whereas, it has been proven to
the satisfaction of this board that
gambling has been carried on in the
saloon conducted by j. p. Lanier,
contrary to the express orders by this
board.
18th refore, be it resolved that the
application of said ]. P. Lanier for an
additional saloon license be and the
same is hereby refused"
This amendment received no sec
ond and was lost. The original
motion was put to vote and defeated.
On motion by W. A. Andrew the
question was reconsidered and
Andrews resolution carried by
a yea and nay vote in which Mayor
Collins, w. A. Andrew and s. A.
Varnam voted aye. Chas. Young and
Geo. Williams voted nay. Mayor

and the license refused. Prior to the

phe to be imminent. People would
not sleep indoors and large numbers
spent the night on the streets and In
the squares. The alarm originated
from some persons declaring they had
seen the black flag, the sign Of dan
ger, flying from the conservatory,
which is situated ON San Cristobal
hill. The shrieking of steam sirens
announcing danger also added to the
alarm, and the police instead Of
calming their people, lost their
heads and added to the terror. Pres
iden Riesco wrote q letter to the di-
rectors of the observatory asking for
an explanation. The director added
that the whole thing was misappre-
hension on the part of the people.
