.LOSEE'S TRIAL
COMES NEXT
PROBABLY WILL BE TAKEN UP
THIS AFTERNOON
Former Trustee of Long Beach Faces
Charge of Accepting Brides in
Connection With Award
of Contracts

FOLLOWING the close of the trial of
Morris Buck, charged with murder, be-
fore Judge Smith in department one of
the superior court today, the case of
j. B. Losee, former trustee of the city
of Long Beach, who is charged with
having accepted bride. will be taken
up and District Attorney Fredericks
will have personal charge of the prose-
cution.
Losee is alleged to have accepted
bride in connection with the letting of
contract by the trustees of Long
Beach for the erection of a pleasure
pier and dancing pavilion.
The old pavilion was burned down
some time ago and last summer plans
were made for the building of a new
one. The bids were received by the
board and the contract let to one of
the beach contractors. The successful
bidder Immediately sublet to the At
lantic Gulf and Construction company
and the pavilion basement was built
by this corpora ton.
Graft in Contract
When an investigation was made by
the district attorney, it was stated by
representatives OF the construction COM
pany that they had given Losee their bid
several days before the time for open
ing contracts, and that after having
received the bid he made out a set of
figures from it and gave them to his
friend, the local contractor, who put
in a bid purely on the strength of the
figures. He was awarded the contract
for building the basement of the new
building and then sublet it at a profit
of $780, In the specifications it was Or
dered that the piling used in the build
ing be of cylindrical form and the
bid was made on that basis.
According to the allegations of rep
resentatives of the construction firm,
Losee called one of their managers to
his office one day and asked the diff
ference it would make in the price if
the specifications We're changed from
being told $1,000. it was testified at the
preliminary trial that Losee said: 81
want that money"
Specifications Are Changed
The specifications We're changed by
later vote of the trustees and when
the other members of the board stated
that they had not seen the money sup
posed to be returned to them, nor had
ever heard that there was any differ
ence in the price, the district attorney
arrested Losee. accusing him of having
accepted the extra $1,000 as a bride.
Losee alleges that his arrest was a
political scheme worked out by his
enemies in Long Beach, who have been
trying to GUST him ever since he fought
against them when the question of let
ting contracts for city printing was
considered.

CARPENTERS ARE BUSY.
Several Residences Under Way, or
VIII BE shortly.

During the past few weeks there
has been a superabundance of work
for the carpenters of this city. al
though there is very little building ac-
tivity no won. Most of the work is in
the nature of building alterations or
enlargements. and as there are now
comparatively few carpenters here,
the contractors have had some diff
Guilty in getting enough men for the
work.
Aside from the Methodist church
now under construction there are a
number of residences under way. OF
these the largest Is that which is be-
ing erected on the north side for Mrs,
Lima Sturgis, and which will cost
about $4,000.
Another good residence is being
erected for VIII Ingram, also on the
north side of the river. 1t is a COM
bination cement and frame structure,
the lower story being of concrete
building blocks, while the upper story
is OF wood.
A residence is also being erected on
Thompson street for Mrs. Joe Lind
sey. by L. Dunlap. The dwelling will
have seven-foot basement and will
be a story and half high. 1t will
cost $4,000, and will be credit to
that portion of the city when COM

CARS ARE SCARCE.
Horse Heaven Wheat Delayed by Lack
L. of EncilltieS.

About 100000 bushels of wheat
have been shipped from here this
season and many thousand bushels
more are waiting for shipment as soon
as cars are available, says a dispatch
from Hatton, Wash. SO great is the
call for cars that grain is shipped in
box cars, gondolas and flat cars.
Two more men have been employed
at the elevator of the Farmers Grain
& Supply company, so large Is the
quantity of wheat being received
daily. In the early part Of the grain
buying season, before the elevator
was In active operation, 1t was feared
that the price paid for bulk wheat
would be 8 or cents per bushel less
than the price paid by other ware
houses in Hatton for the reason that
bulk wheat is docked from to
cents a bushel by the large grain
buyers on the coast. However, the
regular market price is being paid a.

BACK FROM THE EAST.
A. S. Pearson Loves Oregon and is
Content to Remain.

A. S. Pearson, of the Pearson Real
Estate company OF Freewater, re-
turned last evening from a three
weeks trip to the east. Mr.. Pearson
spent most of his time in Nebraska.
In speaking of that section he said:
THAT country was never in so pros
porous a condition as at the present
time. However, 1t may not last. The
crops are immense this season, but
now since they have big yield they
do not know what to do with It..
Cholera has gotten among the hogs
and they are dying by the thousand"
Mr.. Pearson thinks that owing to the
lack of hogs and the large crops the
price of corn will probably drop as
low as s and 10 cents n bushel.
However, these conditions do not
deter people from buying large tracts
of land in that section. Land that
sold few years ago at $50 and s25
an acre is selling for $50 and $50
now.
Mr.. Pearson says that he can take
; five acres of land in the Walla Walla
valley and make more clear money
from 1t in five years than can be
made on 100 acres of the finest land
in that section in the same length OF
time.
He says he loves Oregon and tht
Wala Walla valley especially. ant
wants to live and die here.

At last some suitable sand has been
secured by the Warren Construction
company, and their concrete men are
now at work laying the 14-inch gut
ters that are to line the streets in the
paving district. Some difficulty was
experienced by the company in get
ting sand that would be accepted by
Ed Harlow. inspector for the city, and
several carloads were rejected by that
official. Regarding his action in the
matter Mr. Harlow said this morn
ing:

the work, because the rainy season
NAV commence at any time. How

suitable because of the surface dirt
