THE JURY FINDS
Al Poi GUILTY
Chief Detective Taylor Scores
in His First Case of
the Kind.

All Poi was found guilty of larceny in
the first degree by jury in Judge De
Bolts court yesterday afternoon, and
will be sentenced this morning at 8
o'clock.
All Poi stole about $4,000 worth of
jewelry from Haffner's jewelry store in
the Masonic Temple, January 13, and
| his detention and arrest about ten days
| later was the result of {. very clever
| following up of clue accidentally
picked I'D by the arrest of some boys
charged with larceny. 1t was the first
opportunity Chief of Detectives Taylor
had to show what he could do in this
class of cases. The verdict of the jury
seems to put the seal of commentator
on the way he handled it.
The evidence showed that All Poi had
gone to great trouble to get into the
place when he might have got in much
more easily.
The case was prosecuted for the Ter
ritory by Deputy Attorney General Mil
verton, who made strong presentation
of his evidence to the jury. All Poi
was defended by Charles e. Creighton
and Carlos P. Long. On the stand All
Poi claimed that he had been beaten
by Chief Taylor and Detective Joe Leal
after his arrest in order to make him
confess. There seemed no corrobora-
ton of this in any other testimony Of
fered by the defense.
The jury were out only short time.
The punishment may be Imprisonment
for any term up to ten years.
WARD HAD NO MONEY.
Mrs. Maria Joaquina Silva, guardian
Of Georgia Silva Barboza, has made her

WOOL. AND MoHAIR MARKET.
Prospects are Promising for Good
Prices for Both.

The Oregon Sunday Journal says
of the wool and mohair markets of
Oregon this year:
The mohair season has opened, but
II will be several weeks before the
wool clip is In operation. Mohair
prospects were\ never better In this
market than at this time, Opening
prices were around 2S cents. with
every prospect, according to the deal
ers themselves, of making a gain that
would easily ut the value over 80
cents and beyond. While the mohair
demand-the legitimate one-does
not really warrant much better
prices than those ruling at this time,
the trade feels that with the great
competition the prices will be forced
considerably beyond what the market
justifies.
All interests agree that wool will
command a good price the coming
season, but just what value will be-
come general is not known even to
the buyers themselves, for they say
they have no orders as yet and do
not know what value will be offered
later when the season formally
opens. There is wide difference in
the views of the dealers and the
growers as to what the market really
justifies as to price. According to
livestock men, sheep Losses during
the past season were greater than of
any season during the past 20 years.
However, the growers seem to have
the best of the argument, for every
day or so come reports from the Bos-
ton market that the mills are taking
up monster blocks of Oregon wool
as much as they can get--at prices
that are somewhat better than ruled
here earlier In the season.

NO REBELLION NOW FOUND IN ISLAND Of CUBA

er part of the wealth of Cuba is in
sugar plantations and mills, most of
them owned by foreign capital.
At any time during the harvest sea-
son it would be possible for gang of
men to destroy s7O,000,000 worth of
sugar by setting fire to the cane fields.
This power of destruction is not thus
concentrated in any other country,
and 1t has been held over the planters
for a century or more to extort money
from them. They have been extreme
ly cautious about mourning the enmi-
ty of the bandit chiefs, and many of
them have paid regular sums for pro-
lection.
During Spanish domination these
gangs of bandits have borrowed a
responsibility by pretending to be pat
riotic organizations and have excused
their raids on political grounds. The
largest plantation owners are Span
iards who were identified with their
oppressors; the next largest are Gu
bans Of the aristocratic class, who
have taken no part in politics for pru-
dental reasons and have been COM
PEELED to pay blackmail in the form OF
contributions to the cause of inde-
pendence.
During the early years of the revo-
luton the insurgent forces were
made up almost entirely q bands Of
guerrillas who burned cane fields,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-20

blew up sugar mills and laid half the
island in ruins. Maceo, the first and
most successful leader of the insurg-
ents, in the late war for independence,
was a bandit. Spain had 100000 in
Cuba, and could not put them down,
and If the present liberal party should
take a notion to resist the authority
of the United States, 1t would require
quite as large an army to subdue 1t.
AS the natural tendency of the Gu
ban to unrest has thus been culti-
waited by long series of instructions
for political and pecuniary reasons, 1t
Is extraordinary that the recent upris-
ing was so promptly and easily sub
dued by Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Bacon.
1t must always be remembered, in
considering the duty of the United
ment in this island is not only dis
posed habitually to take the field"
but that It is continually exposed to a
temptation to do so. About 100000
laborers, chiefly il!iterate negroes, are
employed on the sugar plantations
for seven months in the year. The
other five months they are idle and
earn no wages. During this idleness
they have been accustomed to live off
the country and many of them have
levied blackmail year after year upon
property owners, as I have described.

High Prices for surplus Sheen.

Stockmen arc tejoicing that IL they
cannot find pasture for their sheep
because of the reserves they are not
compelled to sacrifice them. The
price is away up, and seems to be
going higher. A California firm Of
buyers represented by Mr.. Irwin, has
contracted for 5000 or 1000 heal of
yeaTling wcth"rs at the top-notch
:rice of sails per head. The stock
is to be delivered about the middle
of May, after shcaring. and at the
home range. This, says Mr.. Sells, one
of the growers who has sold out his
yearling wethers. is saving of about
ls cents per head in driving to o.
shipping point, paid In expense and
loss. Altogether, the price is con-
sdered to be most satisfactory.
The largest sales were those OF
Smith g. Seles, X. f. MacRae, A.
Murray and ]. c. Moore. The stock
will he driven over Southern Oregon
and Northern California, and
slaughtered for the San Francisco
mutton trade. Before slaughter the
sheep viii be resheared, and in this
process the profits of the company
are largely made. John Day News.

William E. Curtis of the Chicago
Record Herald, writes in an entertain
ing manner of the suppression of the
Cuban rebellions by the American in
fluence. Mr.. Curtis says:
That the people of Cuba are satis-
fled with the provisional government
is evident from the fact that the
island is perfectly tranquil. There are
no guerrillas or bandits in the bush;
there have been no political disturb
ances anywhere-a state of affairs
very seldom experienced in Cuban his
tory.
No other country In the world has
such material or such facilities for Or
ganizing revolution, and none has
ever been common custom. 1t has
offered a relief from daily labor, has
afforded the pleasures of picnic, has
gratified the craving for excitement
and adventure which Is so strong In
the Cuban people, and has furnished
an opportunity to live upon the earn
ings and prosperity of Others.
There have always been bandits in
Cuba until recently; a large number
of adventurers have always lived by
bIackmail. 1t has been considered
an unavoidable evil and the planters
have encouraged It by their willing
ness to pay for protection. The great

TO BEAT IHT RAILROADS.
Cheyenne People Scheme on Round
Trip Fares.

Cheyenne people who have Occa-
sion from time to time TO visit Den
yer, while appreciating the recent
cut in the rate to the Colorado me-
tropolis, are not satisfied with being
unable to obtain a round trip rate
from this city and have been work.
Ing out schemes to beat 1t. says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The latest is to tuy a round trip
ticket to Greeley ard from that point
round trip ticket to Denver, for
while Greeley has the benefit of a
round trip rate, Cheyenne does not
The fare to Greedy is $1.70 or s3.40
for The round trip, while the Greeley
round trip rate to Denver is s2.75.
Thus by buying his ticket to Gree
ley thence to Denver the traveller
saves thirty-fivc DENTS over the $3.50
rate from Cheyenne. The saving is
greater wher a ticket is bought from
a Colorado point nearer Cheyenne,
but the risk of missing ones train at
a small station is also greater.
The arrangement is doubtless only
temporary as a round trip rate will
in all probability be adjusted in the
near future, the reduction to three
cents a mile in Wyoming, making
tho rate the same as it is in Colorado.

TO KILL THE SMUT.
Farmers Using Formaldehydc Treat
mcnt Extensively This Spring.

Owing to scarcity of blue vitrol
in many parts of eastern Oregon and
Washington this spring farmers are
using the formaldehyde smut treat
ment quite extensively. The WASH
ington agricultural college at Pull
man has issued a valuable bulletin
on the method of treating wheat for
smut with the formaldehyde mix
ture. The bulletin says:
The formaldehyde treatment: For
maldehyde, formalin and formalose
are the same thing. Formaldehyde
should sell at drug stores, in pound
bottles, for about so cents a pound,
and pound will treat 40 or so BUSH
els of gram. II properly used 1t will
Xiii the smut without injuring the
wheat.
How to treat the seed grain:
'Sprinkling method: Clean a floor.
or a canvas. IL smutty, with scalding
water. spread six or eight bushels of
grain: sprinkle 1t with a solution Of
formaldehyde. Shovel the grain till
every bit is wet. Then throw It to
the upper end of the trough. Re-
peat till the trough is full. Cover II
with wet sacks for two hours.
How to- care for treated grain:
Spread 1t out to dry on a clean, or
scalded floor or canvas; when dry,
put this clean grain into clean or
scalded sacks and scald out your
see''cr. no not smut your clear
gram all over again or your labor is
lost. Clean seed produces a clean
crop.

number of The Dalles Chronicle. The
article is as follows:
The first evidence we find of any
boundary line on the public domain
now known as The Dalles was the
order of the secretary of war, Marcy,
Of January 1S4S, authorizing ten
mile reservation on the route to Ore
gor. This order was carried into eff
feet by Colonel Loring of the rifle
regiment by the establishment of
Fort Palles, or Fort Drum, at the
head of navigation on the Columbia
river in May. 1850.

upon 1t without permission of the
commanding officer.

was not made until October, 1852.
