A Worthy Cause.

State Superintendent Acker-
man issued the following circular
letter to the school officers and
teachers of the public schools Of
Oregon:
aAs result of the great catas-
trophe which befell San Francisco
on the 18th Of April, 1906, "a
buildings were destroyed to re-
place which will cost about
Sc, 900, 900, and subsequent
lack Of employment for the
teachers who taught therein, the
school authorities in San Fran
CISCO are led to accept prof
fered donations to be devoted
exclusively to a reconstruction
fund for the rebuilding of their
schools. They do not desire to
seem to beg but the finances of
the city of San Francisco will be
strained to the utmost and it will
be a considerable time before,
they unaided, could hope to re-
place their schools. 1t is their
purpose, whenever the contribu-
tions from a given state shall
reach sufficient amount to con-
struct building, to. name that
building after the state giving the
money. In any event, tablets
showing the source from which
the building fund came will be
placed upon the buildings and it
will doubtless be matter of
pride for the rising generation In
their visits to the new and more
glorious San Francisco to visit
the building which stands AS a
monument to their gene rosity
and sympathy.
"In view of these facts,
would respectfully suggest that
your respective school devise
ways and means by which con
ltributions, either great or small
may be made to this worthy
| cause.
Gall communications ane
drafts should be addressed ant
made out to Alfred Roncovieri

James B. Watkins, in Humboldt
county, California, to recover on
behalf of the Goddard interests of
La Crosse, Wis, $I8, 900 involv-
ed in Puter's famous fraudulent
certificate steal.
Puter and his gang aoated a
bunch of fraudulent school land
certificates in La Crosse. The
Goddard interests bought up
these forged certificates, and
Puter purchased from them an
equal value of good certificates.
These were hypothecated and
the money received. The lands
involved in this deal were used
by Puter as base lands, or which
to defraud the Government, out
of public lands.
Mr.. Bristol has been on Puter's
trail for many months, and Sc
curing some valuable evidence
concerning him. He knew where
Puter's headquarters were in
San Francisco prior to his dis
appearance February 90, 1905,
when he turued up in Boston
and escaped from Mr.. Burns.

Millions i'm Fines.

A dispatch from Washington,
D. c., says:
Fines amounting to several mill
lion dollars will be sought by the
government against the railroads
shown by the Garfield report to
have been guilty of granting
favors to the Standard Oil Com
pany. This report, with added
details, will 60 to the Department
of Justice this week and it is as
serted that the waybills, bills of
lading, shipping records and
other documents accompanying
it will form complete chain of
evidence upon which to base
prosecutions.
Specific violations showing the
granting of rebates on shipments
aggregat;ng more than 1000 cars
will be alleged in one instance.
Recently the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy road was fined
$1,000 a car for six cars of ship
ments upon which rebates were
given. No Imprisonment pen
atty covered this act, but, if this
is made the standard of fines, the
Government wishes to teach
violators a lesson.
Chicago, St. Louis aud New
York are m >ntioned as the prob
able places for bringing the new
cases.
One of the most fagrant cases
upon which much evidence is al
hand is that of shipments made
by Whiting, Indiana, to St.
Louis, Mo-, for the Waters
Pierce Oil Company. False
way-bills and discriminating
| rates are alleged to have beer

years, last year alone saving the

Marshal Takes no Chances.

A metropolitan exchange has
given the following facts relative
to what is doing in Puter circles:
Uui;ed States Attorney Bristol
this morning received a letter
from Secret Service Operative
w. ]. Burns, dated San Fran
DISCO, Mo-, explaining the
prol ay in bringing S.
A. y The land fraud king,
to Portland. The letter stated
that Marshal Shine, of the
Northern District of California,
would have removed him several
days ago, but was deferred by
the bad condition of the railroad
near Dunsmuir, due to recent
washouts.
Marshal Shine proposes to
take no chances with Puter, ano
will not run the risk of being
held up between San Francisco
and Portland by a mishap with
Puter on his hands.
With the same mail came
some important evidence connect
ing Pu,er with pending lane
fraud cases. Some documen-
tary evidence, the character 0
which the government will no
reveal, came in an envelope, the
address side of which is literall,
covered with registery and re
registery, tracing and forwar'
marks, showing the meandering
of Puter back in 1903, when h1
|.chemes were being carried out.

THE HORSE SHOW.
Big Crowds and Great EnthusI-
dSn.


later and for long time to come.
There was a crowd each day
that almost equalized Fourth of
Iuly celebration, and everyone
seemed to have opinions of his or
her own relative to the good
points of the horses on exhibition.
The affair began at 1890 a.
m, Friday, when the parade,
headed by the band, started from
Abbott's feed stable and march
ed south up Main street thence
west one block, finally returning
on Main to the feed stable.
Crowds lined the streets on either
side and the horses pranced
proudly along as though conscious
OF the admiration they excited.
All day the band played on
the Occidental balcony, and the
crowd remained until late in the
afternoon.
Saturday morning there was
another parade at 1890 headed
bv twelve ladies on horseback,
riding two abreast, this forming
one of the most attractive fea-
lures of the parade. The streets
were crowded again Saturday
and music by the band enliven-
ed the day.
A surprise to many was the
large number of animals entered
in the show, and the splendid
showing made, and if anyone
had harbored doubts as to
whether the horse show could
be made SUCCESS their doub is
were certainly splendidly dis
PEELED.
The program of events was
as follows:
1910 a. m.-Parade.
1900 a. m, Class 1-Thorough'
breds.

The show attracted wide at
tention, as was evidenced by
the fact that horsebuyers from
Portland and other places, TO
both light weight and draf
horses, were in attendance, an'
took an active interest in tn
affair. The horse show viii
