The Salem Statesman, of yesterday
has the following interesting item
about w. o. Minor, of Heppner, who
is a member of the board of directors
of the Umatilla- Morrow County fair
and who is we'll known in this city:
w. Q. Minor of Heppner, Ore, was
a business visitor in Salem yestcr-
day and looked in on the legislature
for a brief time and also attended the
meeting of the livestock breeders,
SAYS the Statesman.
Mr.. Minor is a breeder of pure
bred Shorthorn cattle. Poland China
swine, and Barred Plymouth Rock
poultry, and lie handles sheep extern
sively, having at present 21,000 head,
his flock having been so carefully
cullod that there is not one that will
produce a fleece of wool less than
eight pounds, His Shorthorn cattle
number about 100 and they are all
choice animals of that breed.
His farm has produced Shorthorns
good enough in quality to be award
ed rich prizes at the international
shows at Chicago, worlds fair at ST.
Loues, Lewis and Clark exhibition at
Portland, and also various state fairs.
lie reports the beef cattle market still
quiet, but believes it will take turn
for the better ere long and the beef
breeders will be in greater dmand
than ever before. There is a vigor-
Gus trade in swine and while here
Mr.. Minor went over to Thos. Brunk's
near Ecla, for the purpose of buying
few head of the latter's choice sows
to add to his herd.
Mr.. Minor says the creamery in
his vicinity is causing a great de-
mand for dairy cows and many Jer-
seys are being sought for and pur-
chased by dairymen there.
When he made it known that he
was coming to the Willamette valley
on this trip n number of his neighbors
persuaded him to look up and buy
for them Jerseys to the extent of 80
or moro. To do this he went direct
to the dairy cattle district around
Jefferson and selected some OF the
choicest grade Jerseys in the Looney,
Civiugs, Beckwith, and Simpson
herds.
a carload of the butter-fat pro-
| ducers was bargained for and will
be sent to Heppner in a few days and
| from there distributed to those for
whom they are intended.
Mr.. Minors Boyhood days were
spent in the vicinity of what is now
Gervais. He was quite youngster
when the Oregon & California rail-
road was in the course of construction
up the Willamette valley 36 years ago
by Rcn Holiday. and there was no
town of Gervais then. the place being
| started as Wauconda.

TELLS OF JAMAICA,
Walla Walla Woman Left Kingston
Last July.


Earthquakes In Jamaica at this
time of the year are very unusual"
said Mrs. Charles Burch TO the Walla
Walla Bulletin. Mrs. Burch left
Kingston, Jamaica, which is reported
destroyed by earthquake, last July,
arriving in Walla Walla November 8.
Continuing, she said: Jamaica
has an earthquake or two each year
but they are not usually severe and
they always come during the hot
weather. usually about two of them
every season. A quake at this time
of the year is something out Of the
ordinary.
Most of the people in Kingston
are English and they are well-to-do,
so I do not think that much suffering
Will he caused. While the people are
wealthy they make no display and
are very unostentatious. do not
think they will need any outside help.
Fruits and spices are the princi-
pal things raised. for export, the re-
mainder of the products being kept
for home consumption.
Kingston is the seat of many
schools and colleges and fine build
ings, the capital buildings being To-
Gated at this point. The houses are
mostly two stories in height and
built of stone.
II do not think much suffering will
be caused by the exposure OF those
who lost their homes for the climate
is very mild, the summers there con-
forming very nearly to those in this
state, while our falls are very much
liks the Jamaican winters"
Mrs. Burch has written to her rel.
atives in Jamaica asking for informa-
tior, but does not expect an answe,
for at least 26 days.

HENEY AND sPREcKELs TO
CHOOSE SCHMlTZ' SUCCESSOR
AS MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 45.-As
foreshadowed by District Attorney
Langdon in his opposition 10 the st.-
mittance of Mayor Schmitz to bail, 1t is
the purpose of the bribery graft prose-
cution to next week set about the re-
tnoval of Schmitz and the appointment
of new mayor to serve until January
of 1908, when the successful candidate
Of the November election will assume
office. If the plans are not altered the
course of procedure will be this:
The board of supervisors, compris-
ing at least fifteen members subject to
indictment as bribe takers at the hands
of the Oliver grand jury, who have
confessed to that board of inquiry their
official misconduct, will at a special or
regular meeting declare that Schmitz is
temporarily unable to properly per-
form the duties of the office of mayor"
A resolution to that effect will be
adopted and under the charter Super
visor Gallagher will be elected presi-
dent pro tempore of the board and as
such will become the acting mayor. The
resignation of some one of the eighteen
supervisors will then be accepted by
Mayor Gallagher, who will then ap-
point to the vacancy reform man
picked by the prosecution. Gallagher
will then resign and the new supervisor
will be elected president pro tempore,
and will assume the mayoralty.
The decks will then have been
cleared for general slaughter Of such
public officials as the prosecution has
marked for peremptory removal. Among
the first to go, it is understood, will be
Chief of Police Dinan, Police Commits
sioners Hagerty, Finn and Wallen, and
| the members Of the board of public
| works, board of fire commissioners and
board of education. AS all Of these
offices are appointive the refusal of any
incumbent to resign can be punished by
instant election. AS fast as desired
vacancies are created, they will be
filled with men priorly selected by or
with the approval of District Attorney
Langdon Assistant District Attorney
Heney, Rudolph Spreckels and the ac-
tive associates in the present bribery
graft investigation and prosecution.
In this way If plans are not altered
or blocked. new municipal admins
tration will come into being as a direct
result of the conviction of Mayor
SchmitZ.

dicted on charges of bribing supervis-
ors to vote against the Issuance of a
franchise to the Home Telephone COM
pany of San Francisco, and argued at
length in support of a motion to set
aside the indictments. The motion is
based on the claim that the present
grand jury is illegally constituted in
that some. of it's members before be-
ing chosen expressed bias against the
defendants.
The matter finally went over until
Friday
T. C. Coogan, attorney for Glass, and
Attorney Campbell, acting for Mayor
Schmitz in the telephone cases, agreed
to submit to the court on the same day
stipulations in regard to reading an

The afternoon session was taken up

day, where he will be a witness in the
Haywood trial, made the statement
this afternoon that the attempt of the
prosecution at Boise to show there was
anything wrong in the drafts sent to
j. L. Simpkins would be abortive.
He said Simpl1ins was an organizer
of the federation and member of the
executive board; that all the drafts
sent him were legitimate expenses in
these capacities and that there never
had been any secrecy about it, Every
one of these payments had either been
published in the reports of Haywood or
himself as secretary-treasurer The
same may be said, he concluded, of
many other expenses about which the
prosecution is seeking to throw cloud
of suspicion.

ed of murder in the first degree for the
killing of his wife's first husband, Au-

of Rocker grasping her by the throat.
She heard him, in dream, say; Damn
YOU, August, I've got you now"

the first time and the supreme court
gave him a retrial. The second time he
was given life imprisonment, and the
