LAND OPENING IN wALLowA.
Parts Of Six Townships Open for En-
try Today Despite Rumors to the
Contrary.

Parts Of six townships in Wallowa
county will be thrown open for en-
try tomorrow morning at o'clock
despite the rumors that all were with
held, due to rejected surveys, says the
La Grande Observer. First came the
news that one of the seven townships
was not ready for entry and then a
few days ago a rumor was started
that none were subject to settle
ment and entry tomorrow.
But the government land office
has published notices of filing of the
plat in the La Grande land office
Wednesday at o'clock and therefore
there will be a land entry.
About a month ago there was 100
per cent more interest shown in the
Wallowa land opening than there is
today, for nothing but the presence
in the city of two of three timber
cruisers would intimate at this hour
taat land opening is to take place to-
morrow morning.
Ths evening trains may bring few,
but the number of entries will not
commence to reach the number Of
chairs that were held down for one
brief night a month ago tonight. 1t
Is predicted that contests will be
brought against a large number Of
the entrymen who come under the
80 days privileges by prior rights.

train was stopped. He was suffering
from a severe cut on the back of his

that he had fallen from a westbound

Delighted with the hearty indorse-
ment by the people of former meas
ures presented through the initiative
amendment to the state constitution
of Oregon, the Peoples Power league
will present four more important
measures for the peoples Endorsement
at the election of 1908.
Drafts of the four measures have
just been sent out by w. S. U'Ren, of
Oregon City. the moving spirit in
the Peoples Power league and the
campaign for their adoption will be-
gin now.
The four measures to be voted up
on next election are:
a bill for a law instructing for the
ratification of the peoples selection
OF United States senator.
The Huntley bill to prevent COR
rupt practices and to limit election
expenses.
For the recall of undesirable or
dishonest officials.
For proportional representation of
all political parties in the legislature.
Circulars containing the draft of
the measures are being sent out to
newspapers and voters throughout
the state and active work for the
laws will be kept up from now until
next June.
Briefly the four laws may be sum-
med up as follows
The law instructing legislatures to
ratify the peoples choice for United
States senator is clinching the pop
ular election of United States sena-
tors. 1t simply means the enactment
into law Of statement No. 1, which
provides unqualifiedly for the peo-
pies choice for senator.

BUYS John Day Apples.

F. L. Baffett of Payette, was in the
city Saturday night on his way to the
Idaho country, where he went to Sc
cure several expert packers to take
care of the apple crop in the John
Day valley, which he has bought, says
the Baker City Herald. Mr.. Baffett
went through the entire valley and
made arrangements with practically
every fruitgrower to buy the crop on
the trees. He now has a large num-
Der of pickers at work removing the
fruit from the trees and preparing 1t
for the packers who will soon be on
the ground and place the fruit in
condition to be shipped to the eastern
market.
Mr.. Baffett has had much expert
ence in the fruit business and so
thorough was his work in the John
Day valley that other representatives

The Huntley bill limiting election
expenses of candidates was defeated
In the house at the last session and
provides that candidates file a sworn
account of their election expenses and
provides that no candidate shall
spend in campaign expenses more
than 20 per cent OF ones years salary
OF the office which he seeks or not
more than 500 under any circum-
stances.
The recall of dishonest officials
provides that the voters of any
district may, upon petition OF 25 per
cent of the legal voters of the dis
trict or county, recall from office any
official who by his official conduct
may prove to be an undesirable or
dishonest public servant.
The proportional representation
bill provides for the election of a
proportional number of candidates
for each party running for a certain
office and gives every political party
its proportional representation in the
legislature. Under this law each
party is entitled to a certain proper
tion of members of the legislature,
according to the vote of the parties in
the state. In this way every small
party would be represented in the
legislature, the dominant party hav-
ing the controlling power, of course,
at all times.
AS the campaign progresses these
measures will be thoroughly explain
ed and discussed and it is believed
that ali will pass at the election next
June.

MONETT IN THE CASE.
Nemesis of Standard Oil Company
Will Help Tucker.

Frank Monett, a former attorney gem
eral of Ohio, and the Nemesis of the
Standard Oil company, is in Topeka to-
day with H. H. Tucker of the Uncle
Sam Oil refinery. Mr.. Monet has been
hired by Mr.. Tucker to assist in the de-
fense of the company in the suits now
pending against it in the federal courts
Mr.. Monett came to Kansas at the
time of the anti-Standard Oil and state
oil refinery agitation two years ago. He
was instrumental in starting a suit
against the Santa Fe railway for viola
ton of the antitrust laws by conspiring
with the Standard Oil company. He
took some testimony in that case, and
had falling out with some of the other
parties interested, which resulted in his
withdrawal from -he case. Later on the
case was dismissed. ,
Mr.. Monett gained his reputation as a
lawyer by the winning fight which he
made against the Standard Oil company
in Ohio while he was attorney general
He was one of the original trust busters,
and was one of the first who had the
courage to attack the Standard Oil in
the courts.

GIGANTIC CRAFT.
Conspiracy to Defraud the
Government Is Unearthed.
Its Operation Extends Into a
Number of States.
WAY UP MEN INVOLVED
One U. s. Senator and One
Former U. s. Senator.
Also One of the Wealthiest Men
in the World.

Chicago, May 24.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Amazing revelations of a conspiracy
to defraud the United States of a mil
lion dollars worth of mineral and tim
Der lands will be laid before the
grand juries of half a dozen states
within a few days.
The frauds, it is alleged, will in
volve in criminal charges the names of
men high in business and political cir
cles. They includes:
one United States senator.
One former United States senator.
A man reDuted to be one of the
Wealthiest men in the world.
A railroad man known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Two of the wealthiest lumber barons
in the United States.
Numerous smaller fry, including
railroad officials, coal operators and
men at the head of fuel companies.
These men, whose names for obvi-
Gus reasons, can not be made public
before the grand jury acts, it is de-
clared here will surely be indicted by
the evidence which is now in the
hands of the United States district at
torneyS in half dozen western cities.
These frauds. it is declared, in an
official quarter, extend into number
of states, including California, Colo
rado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Much of the evidence in these frauds
was obtained by Detective Burns, who
is engaged In the municipal graft pros
ecution in San Francisco and by Fran
els J. Heney, who is prosecuting the
same San Francisco grafters. Upon the
conclusion of their work in San Fran
cisco, Attorney Heney and Detective
Burns are expected to return to the
government service for the prosecution
OF the timber and mineral land thieves.
Some of the grafters in San Francisco
are also said to be implicated in the
frauds.
The frauds have been under investi-
cation by the secret agents of the in
terror department for more than three
years. These secret agents have un-
earthed startling evidence, showing
that the public domain has literally been
looted by corporations who have been
protected and aided in their operations
by United States senators and federal
officials.
Most of the lands acquired by the So
called conspirators were timber tracts
in the west, of which hundreds of thou
sands of acres have been taken from
the public domain.
In some Instances the services of
dummy entrymen were utilized for
the purpose. In others the title was
obtained through the use of lieu land
scrip.
men said to be involved, the govern
ment expects to regain possession of
large areas of forest land, some of
which have been in the hands of luIn-
ber operators for many years. Much
of the land, it is understood, has not
yet been cut over.
It is admitted by certain officials that
in a number of instances the offenders
will be immune from criminal proSecu-
ton owing to the fact that the statute
of limitation will apply, but in all such
cases the title to the land Will revert
to the government.

TOOK THEIR MONEY.
Santa Ee Detectives Find Two Children
on Train-Take All They Have.

Two small boys riding the blind from
Kansas City to Stafford We're appre-
hended by the Santa F'e detectives,
O'Leary and Kennedy, last night. The
boys were Carl Jennings and Fred
Withers, both of whom were fifteen
years of age. Young Jennings was on
his way to Stafford where he intended
to visit an uncle, and Withers was go
ing with him for company Because of
the shortage of their financial resources
they chose the blind as the most eco
nomical way of travel. After being ta-
ken up by the Santa FHe detectives their
pockets were searched and $3.05 was
taken from Jennings and thirty cents
from Withers. After being held up by
the detectives they were released. How
ever, the boys thought they had been
troubles to the police. They were sent
on their way rejoicing after short con-
sultation with the officers.
This is a practice that has been in
vogue with the Santa Fe detectives for
some time and is not held in very high
repute by the local officers. The regular
fare between Kansas City and Topeka
is only two dollars and just why the
officers of the railroad are allowed to
collect any more than that amount is
matter of mystery. The practice has
been going on for some time and the
officials of the road are known to have
collected money greatly in excess of the
amount of the fare. What they do with
the excess fare collected is not known.
Whether they are justified in collecting
fares without legal process is a matter
of dispute. The local officials are very
much wrought up over the repeated
officers and are determined to put stop
