Nc Political fmsueM.


 London. July 11.--The Daily Chron- iele regards MT. Bryan's policy as be- ing the same as that of President Roosevelt and says that it Is only a question of who of the candidates shall be entrusted with it's execution. Who ever Is the victor. the paper says, he will be a man of high character, mark ed ability and discretion.
 The Daily Graphic says Whatever is really good in the democratic creed is already an integral part of the poll icy President Roosevelt Is bequeathing to Mir. Taft. hence there is no serious political issue; 1t will be exclusively agquestion of persona"
 The Saturday Review thinks that Mf. Bryan has an advantage in being more prominent than MT. Taft and suggests that the Nebraskan may obtain strong support from the Pacific slope by the adoption of Congressman Hobson's nA- val views.
 The Outlook thinks the odds against Mr. Bryan are. so enormous that only a landslide, Of which at present there is no aign. can wipe them out.

WAR ON RATS.
San Francisco Determined to Exter-
inmate Disease Spreaders.

San Francisco, Jan. 28.-Reports by
the plague experts show that the dis
ease has been almost entirely eliminat-
ed from the city, but the battle against
the rats is to be pressed with new
vigor. There have been no new cases
for more than two weeks. Only two
cases are now under treatment. De-
spite these encouraging features, the
force of men in the employ of the
health board is to be increased and the
distribution of poison to be continued
on a larger scale.
All this is to be done as precau-
tionary measure. The theory held by
DR.. Rupert Blue, the Federal expert in
charge of the situation, is that the con-
tagion is carried from the rat to the hu-
man being by the flea. In the winter
months the heas vanish, to reappear
with the spring and summer. An ex.
animation of the rodents last Septem-
Der showed that one-half Of one per
cent were infected. The examination
at the present time shows that one-half
per cent are infected.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
GATHER HOP DATA.
Pacific Coast Hopgrowers' Association
Wants Oregon Acreage.

Salem-The board of directors for
Oregon of the Pacific Coast Hopgrow-
ers' union met here last week and form
ulated plan for ascertaining the names
of all the hopgrowers in the state, the
acreage Of hops owned by each, the
names of growers who have signed the
constitution and bylaws of the union
and the acreage of each.
1t is expected that this information
will be at hand and complete soon and
then for the first time it will be known
definitely how many acres Of hops are
grown in Oregon. This information is
necessary in order to ascertain the pro-
portion of acreage represented in the
union and also the names of growers
who are needed as members but who
have not joined.
The work Of gathering the statistics
Was designated to the secretary, Joseph
Baumgartner, and arrangements were
made to raise fund Of 81 900 to pay
the immediate expenses Of the organi-
zation work in Oregon. While no par
ticular effort will be made to learn the
acreage of hops that will be plowed up
this season, it is probable that pretty
fair idea of the extent of the plowing
up will be gained.

NEW SYSTEM OF SURVEYS.
Sill to Give Commissioner Authority
to Employ Men.

Washington, Jan. 28.-In his annual
report Land Commissioner Ballinger rec
commended the abolition Of tie present
system of making public land surveys
under the contract system and urged
congress to authorize the employment
by the government of competent sur
veyors, whose sole duty shall be the
surveying and resurveying of public
lands. Representative Mitchell, of
Wyoming. chairman Of the house COM
mittee on public lands, has introduced
a bill in the house giving the commits
sioner authority to employ such sur
veyors for the purpose stated, but al
lowing him also to use his discretion as
to the advisability of making part of
the surveys under the old contract sys-
tenn.
There are some surveyors on govern
ment work who have produced satisfac-
tory results, but the chief criticism of
the old contract system is that it
wastes a great deal of time, and re
quires two or three years from the
time of application to get given tract
surveyed and the survey accepted. The
Mondell bill will form the basis of
whatever legislation congress may at
tempt on the subject this winter.

MAYS DISMISSED.
Heney Says He Cannot Convict Him
Of Conspiracy.

Portland, Jan. 27.-Franklin Pierce
Mays. ex.state senator, was the princi-
pal witness for the government Satur.
day in the Hall-Mays conspiracy case
in the Federal court. A treacherous
and failing memory prevented the wit
ness from positively associating his va
rious conversations with Hall and the
dates Of the letters that passed between
them. Probably the most damaging
evidence against Hall. adduced from
the witness, was his Identification OF a
letter written by himself to Steiwer in
which Mays told of his successful efforts
in dissuading Hall from instituting
criminal proceedings against the men,
bers of the Butte Creek company for
unlawful fencing.
Before Mays was called into the court
room, Heney announced that he wished
the indictment dismissed against Mays,
who was co-defendant with Hall and
Edwin Mays. In making this request
of the court, Heney said that he did
not consider that the government was
in possession of sufficient evidence with
which to convict Mays of the alleged
conspiracy. Later in the examination
OF Mays, Heney repeated the declara
tion he made before, that it was not
his intention to prosecute Mays on any
of the other remaining indictments
against him because of his physical
condition. Judge Hunt consented to
the dismissal of the indictment and at
the same time exonerated the bond
Mays had furnished. Mays was then
sworn as witness for the prosecution.
Charles B, Moores, ex-register Of the
Oregon City land Office, will undoubted-
ly be witness for the government be-
fore the prosecution closes its case
either today or tomorrow. Just what
Moores will testify can only be con-
jectured.

Sets Out Walnut Treas.

Rickreall-J. B. Stump, one of the
leading farmers residing in this county,
has planted 175 acres Of his large farm
near Monmouth to English walnuts,
and will make his walnut grove COM
mercial proposition. The trees are
planted with space of 80 feet between
rows one way and Of 40 feet the other
way. In the space between the rows Of
walnut trees Royal Anne cherries are
planted and as these latter will bear
quickly the land set to walnuts will
soon be made profitable while awaiting
the first crop from the walnut trees.
Experiments made here in past years
with walnuts have been 80 satisfactory
that Mr.. Stump's venture is not looked
upon as an experiment.

trIct Attorney Fight.
Senator Fulton Implicated and Yelled
Threats We're Made Of lndict-
ment for Completely in Oregon
Land Frauds-Got Promise Of I'M
munity for Withdrawing.

Portland. Jan. 23.-Sensational and
damaging testimony against John H..
Hall was given yesterday by Hamilton
II. Hendricks, who testified that in
May, 1900, he had suggested to Hall
that Hall use his knowledge Of illegal
fencing by Steiwer and his associates as
a political club over w. w. Steiwer.
At the morning session Hendricks.
who was a co-defendant with Hall and
Mays, entered plea of guilty to the
conspiracy indictment. Late in the
afternoon Hendricks was called to the
stand, and his testimony, following
that of a number Of minor witnesses
who preceded him, had the effect of a
thunder storm on clear summer afteI-
noon. While Hendricks recited the
stcry of his interview with Hall in
1900, the ex district attorney could not
repress commingled expression of sur
prise and pain. With drawn features
and clenched jaws he scrutinized the
witness as the story Of the inception of
his alleged unofficial relations with the
unlawful fencing monopoly was related.
The accused ex-Federal official soon re-
gained the interested and semi hopeful
expression that has characterized him
from the beginning Of the trial, and
court adjourned for the day after the
sensational statements Of Hendricks.
Clarence B. Zachary, who yesterday
entered plea of guilty to the conspir-
acy charge, was foreman Of the Butte
Creek company. He was prominent
figure in experimenting the different
that were Matched by his ssso--
ciates.
Mr.. Heney expects to complete the
governments case probably tomorrow
afternoon and not later than Saturday.
Hendricks will be on the stand duIiog-
the morning session, possibly part OF
the afternoon today, and will he fol-
lowed by Clarence B. Zachary. MI.
Heney last night would not discuss the
probability that w. W. Steiwer would
be called as witness for the govern
nent, neither would he admit that
Steiwer would follow the lead of his as
'ociates, Hendricks and Zachary, OF the
Butte Creek company. and plead guilty

WILL BREAK MONOPOLY.
Bonaparte Starts Suit Against Harri-
man Roads.

oonaparte SVartS our AgainSt 1aTr'-
man Roads.
Washington, Jan. 27. - Attorney
General Bonaparte directed that bill
in equity be filed to set aside the con-
troll by the Union Pacific Railway COM
pany and its subsidiary corporations OF
the Southern Pacific and the San Pedro,
Los Angeles 4 Salt Lake railroads; also
to have declared illegal the ownership
by the Union Pacific or the Oregon
Short Line of stock in the Santa Fe, the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
all of said lines being competitors Of
the Union Pacific.
The attorney general issued an Off
cial sttement to this effect, which, after
referring to the extended investigation
by the Interstate Commerce commission
into the relations existing among the
various lines Of road engaged in trans
continental traffic, says:
From the evidence 80 adduced anu
from independent investigation the de-
partment has arrived at the conclusion
that the stockholding of the Union Pa
cifc ard it's subsidiary companies in
the corporations mentioned above is in
direct violation of the Sherman act.
"The department regards the suit as
OF first Importance. as it is sought by
means thereof to break up substantial
monopoly OF the transportation bust
ness of the country between the Mis-
souri, river on the east and the entire
Pacific coast south Of Portland on the
west.'
Aside from the railway companies
above named, the other defendants in
the suit are the Farmers Loan & Trust
of New York, which is the
depository of all the stock of the San
Pedro road under contract by which
it is required to give proxies to such
persons as may be named by Mr.. Har-
riman and Mr.. Clark for a period Of
years. There are also individual de-
fendants who are alleged to have con-
ceived and carried out the conspiracy
of, towit: E. II. Harri-
man, Jacob H. Schiff, Otto H. Kahn,
James Stillman, Henry G. Frick, Hen
ry H. Rogers and William A. Clark.
While naming the individual defend
ants the statement makes no mention
Of any intention to prosecute any of
these officials personally in any Grimm.

HAS SEED.ESS PEAR.
Has Borne Fruit for 20 Years Un-
known to Scientists.

Pendleton,-Not suspecting that a
seedless pear was anything out of the
ordinary, r. L. Oliver, prominent
fruitraiser two miles west Of this city,
has been growing pears of that nature
for two decades. Much publicity has
been given during the past three
months to seedless pear discovered by
A. I. Mason. The tree bearing the
seedless pear on the Oliver farm near
this city was growing on the place
when he bought it, 20 years ago. The
pears on the Oliver tree differ in de-
scription from those of the Mason
farm, being very large and resembling
the Flemish Beauty more than any
other varitey. They are entirely seed
less and have only the slightest tracing
OF core, being in effect coreless as we'll
as seedless. The flesh is fine grained
and solid, the flavor is good and the pear
has many claims for popularity aside
from being seedless and coreless vari-
ETY.. The tree bears late, the fruit
ripening in October.
Where the tree came from is not
known. The farm with the orhard on
it was purchased from nurseryman,
who set the orchard out.
