What promises to be the largest
Umatilla county is now under nego-
tiation and its consummation de-
pends upon the result of cruising g.
600 acres of yellow pine timber land
in the southern part of the county.
A number of La Grande people,
mostly railroad employees, have pool
ed about 35 claims and placed the
tract on the market in one body and
this month an expert timber cruiser
for a Minneapolis firm is estimating
the amount of timber on the land with
a view to taking the entire tract if
prices can be agreed upon.
This land is in the vicinity of AL
ba and is easily accessible from that
place. While the agents of the tim
Der company have not said what
would be done in case of the pur-
chase Of the land, yet it is known
that it is large sawmill concern and
1t is believed that it will saw the tim
Der into lumber.
Practically all of the southern por-
ton of Umatilla and the northern
part of Grant county is plastered
over with timber land filings, many
Of the claims not having enough tim
oer on them to pay the filing fee.
Many of the entrymen never saw
he land, but took the numbers from
some locator to whom they paid
from $50 to 500 for his services in
locating them. The most remarkable
feature of the timber land filings in
hat district is that only about five
per cent of the entrymen are Una
lila county people. Large numbers
IF them come from Idaho, Montana,
and other distant states.

READY FOR THE
MAG|LL TRIAL
ILLINOIS BANKER Is
CHARGED WITH MURDER
His Wife Found Dead at Home Where
II Was Supposed She Had Suicided
Within a Month After Wife's
Death lie Married Fay Graham, His
stenographer and Both Are Now
Charged With First Degree Muir
der.

Decatur, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-Everything
Is ready for an early trial of the
Magill-Fay Graham murder case,
which has been brought TO Macon
county on change of venue from De-
Witt county. The case is the second
on the criminal docket, which will be
the first to be taken up when court
meets next Monday. The attorneys
for the defense say the accused are
ready TO face the bar of justice and
are confident that the result of the
trial will be a complete vindication.
On the other hand, Prosecuting At
torney Miller of De Witt county, who
is In active charge of the prosecution,
believes that he has a strong case,
particularly against Magill. What
ever the result may be, the trial is
bound to attract as much attention
as ever centered in criminal case In
this part of Illinois.
Fred Magill and wife, formerly
Fay Graham, come from two of the
most prominent families in the state.
Magill and his first wife had never
been able to get along and 1t was
common talk that he was paying at
tention to other women of Clinton,
especially Miss Fay Graham, who had
acted as his stenographer On May
81 of this year Mrs. Magill, who was
familiarly known as pet" Magill
was found dead at her home in Clin-
ton, and It was at first supposed that
she had committed suicide.
The circumstances surrounding the
case were of strange nature, but
the authorities paid no attention to
it until news came to Clinton that
Fred Magill and Fay Graham had
been married in Denver, and this but
a little over four weeks after the
first wife's death. 1t developed that
a few days after the death of his
wife Magill had disposed OF his prop
crty, drew his money from his faith
er's estate and with Miss Graham and
his daughter, Marguerite, aged II,
left Clinton. Miss Graham, who is
the daughter of w. w. Graham, a |
well known resident of Clinton, led
her parents to believe she was going |
to Chicago to secure work as a ste
nographer, and might also visit rel
atives In Kankakee.
When word was received that the |
couple had been married in Denver |
on July an active investigation was |
started by the Clinton authorities and |
the result was that Magill and his |
bride were arrested In San Diego, |
Cal, on July 13, and brought back to
Clinton and indicted by the grand |
Jury. The charge was first degree
The investigation, It is said, |
showed Mrs. Magll had been poison
ed by chloroform.
When brought back to Clinton,
Magill brought forth letters which he
claimed had been written by his wife
before her death. in which she laud-
ed him to the skies as the best OF |
husbands, and in the final letters,
which he claimed were written just
before her death, she spoke in glow
ing terms of Fay Graham and even
went so far as to advise him to marry
her.

$4,000 DEAL IN UMAT|LLA FARM LAND

One of the biggest farming land
deals made this summer was con-
summated here yesterday when DR..
c. ]. Smith purchased the old T. X.
Beard place lying six miles northwest
of Pendleton.. The ranch contains l.
$40 acres of wheat land and while
the exact price has not been made
public It is understood that close to
$50 per acre was paid, which would
make the total consideration close to
$4,000.
For two years past the Beard place
has been owned by c. Banquet of

Boston, Mass, october 5.-The
fiercest political battle Massachusetts,
has witnessed in a score of years be-
gins today with the holding of the
state nominating conventions by the
two leading parties. While the re-
publicans. are holding their conven-
tion in Boston the democrats meet in
Springfield. Governor Curtis Guild,
| jr., and Lieutenant Governor E. s.
Draper will be renominated by the
republicans. Henry NJ. Whitney will
be the democratic standard bearer
and his running mate in all probabii
ity will be George A. Schofield of
Ipswich, well known as the persistent
advocate of the veterans bounty
bill.
The campaign is bound to attract
national attention. The administra-
tion itself is concerned deeply over
the outcome of the off-year election
| in Massachusetts, for two reasons
one that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
the closest friend of President Roose-
Whitney, the democratic nominee, is
known as the origi.N{ member of the
"Ananias Club"
Henry NJ Whitney is going to make
form. He is a brother of the late
William C. Whitney of New York,
man of large financial interests, who
has long taken a prominent part in
the politics of the state, but, until
a few years ago, not in a manner to
give him great national prominence
Thomas w. Lawson helped to bring
him into prominence by making him
one of the characters in "Frenzied
Finance" Mr.. Whitneys hobby in
politics has been tariff reform, and
on that issue he came near being
chosen lieutenant governor two years
ago.
year or so ago he went to WASH
ington and called on President Roose- |
welt to voice the demand of Massa- !
chusetts tariff revisionists for GER
tain lines of action. Afterward he |
gave out some statements relative to |
things he said the president had told
him he favored, and a forcible de-
nial from President Roosevelt fol-
lowed. That started the famous
"Ananias Club 'and likewise stirred
up much of the trouble about tariff
revision of which Massachusetts, has
been the center.
Senator Lodge is fighting with all
his power to force the tariff and all
national issues to the rear, on the
ground that they have no place in a
purely state campaign. The repub-
lean contention, voiced by Mr.. Lodge,
S that there is plenty to talk about
n what pertains to the conduct of the
state government and that the tar
IF issue has been raised to befog the
situation. 1t is expected that the ma 8
ional administration will lend its in
'luence in every way it can to defeat
he election of Whitney because of
he personal enmity between the lat I
er and President Roosevelt and the
that Whitney's victory in
year preceding a presidential cam {
oaign would be used throughout the
country as an alleged reputation of
he Roosevelt administration.

ence Darrow and while no serious re-
suits are expected, 1t appears certain
that he will not be able to appear in
court October Is. Pettibone's ply
sical condition is also bad and doc
tors say he could never stand the
strain of long trial. The opinion
here is that neither Pettibone nor
Meyer will ever be tried.
Darrow's Statement.
Clarence Darrow, who is the chief
counsel for the Federation of Miners
in the cases of Pettibone and Meyer,
made the following statement rela-
tive to the killing of ex-Sheriff Har-
vey X. Brown at Baker City, just be-
fore his operation in Boise:
"The effort to make 1t appear that
the Western Federation of Miners is
responsible for the killing of ex-
Sheriff Brown is in keeping with the
policy of the prosecution in these
cases to make it appear that the Fed
Grafton is responsible for every crime
in the west.
Nothing could be more ridiculous
than to talk of an attempt being
made on Browns life by the miners.
On the first day the papers gave out
that he was probably killed on ac-
count of his fight against the GAM
blers in his county. The next day it
was the Western Federation of Mi
ners.
Brown was an obscure and harm
less sheriff in a rural county in Ore
gon, and was not really the man who
Steven Adams. Mr.. Thiel.
Of Spokane detective agency, got all
the papers out for Adams arrest and
went to Oregon, getting Brown and
two other men to accompany him TO
get Adams and bring him to Boise.
More than this. Brown has always
been friendly to the defense and
when Adams was OH trial at Wallace,
went there as a witness in Adams
behalf to testify that he was made
promises while in Jail at Baker City
% the effect that If he made a con-
'ession to corroborate the one made
" Orchard he would be taken care
II He was paid by the defense for
Ms services and expressed a willing
less to work regularly for them II
hey needed his services.
"Steve Adam second trial will |
oon be held and Brown was relied |
pon as an important witness in the
ase."
Darrow said that the publicity CIV
N by newspapers and magazines
bout the manufacture and explosion
( dynamite bombs in connection with
orchards story, cannot fail to pro-
uce a substantial crop of assassina-
ions by this method.
