Testimony Does Not Materi-
ally Affect Defendants in
Land Fraud Cases.
OLD LETTER FROM HALL
INTRODUCED AS EVIDENCE.
Plead Guilty Yesterday Afternoon
Materiality OF Testimony VIII Prob
ably Appear Later in Trlal-Voted
for Geer Until Last Ballot When
He Cast His Vote for FuItOn-Let-
ter Refers to HendriclSs-Steiwe
on Stand All Day Today.

Portland, Jan. 24.-W. w. Stewier,
co-defendant in the Hall-Mays land
fraud and conspiracy case, who plead
guilty to the charge late yesterday
afternoon, was the star witness in
this mornings session.
Stelwer's testimony, however, taken
by itself. does not particularly affect
the defendant. Its materially will
probably be brought out later.
Steiwer testified that Hall came to
him several times during the session
Of the state legislature in 1903 and
talked Of the fencing case with him.
At that time Stewier said he did not
believe that Hall was attempting to
influence his vote in favor Of any
particular senatorial candidate.
He testified that he voted for Geer
until the last ballot when he switch
ed for Fulton. A letter was intro
duced in evidence by Heney which
was written by Hall to Steiwer on
December 19. 1897.
In 1t Hall inquired IL Steiwer knew
whether Hendricks was going to turn
states evidence. IF he does this and
testifies to things that never happen
ed he will be laying himself open to
much more serious charge than
that under which he is now indicted"
Hall wrote.
Steiwer will be on the stand the
rest of the day.

YELLOW FLAGS IN
EASTERN OREGON
SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
THAT is SPREADING
In Ten Families at Durlee There Are
25 Cases OF the Disease-La
Grande, Baker City and Other
Large Cities Affected-Pendleton
Has Escaped Thus Far-Cases Are
Mild In Form and No Deaths Are
RepOrted-Farmers Also Suffer.

An epidemic of smallpox is now
raging over large part of eastern
Oregon, although not a solitary case
has yet been reported in Pendleton.
At La Grande it is said there are
about 20 cases of mild form; at
Baker city are number of cases and
at Durkee, 25 miles east of Baker
city, there are % cases. although
there are but 10 families in the place.
All the cases so far as very mild and
no deaths have been reported.
The disease is not confined to the
towns of eastern Oregon, but is
found in the farming district many
miles away from town and physicians
are at loss to know how it became
so generally distributed
o. R. & N. trainmen coming in
from the east say that II is a common
sight now to see the yellow flag, the
smallpox sign, tackled on the gate
posts of many farms along the line
all the way through eastern Oregon.

HYBRID WHEAT A SUCCESS.
Experimental Station Crosses Turkey
Red With BIuestem to Get Hardy
Winter Wheat.

La Crosse, Wash, Jan. 24.-In 1903
an experiment was begun at Wash
iDgton State college to combine hy-
bridized Turkey Red wheat and Blue
stem to grow a winter wheat which
would lack the boards of the Turkey
Red and possess an attractive quality
as a winter variety. Bluestem is val
liable as a winter wheat, but is not
well adapted for fall sowing.
The state college experiment station
now believes it has succeeded and
that this hybrid variety will be
winner. The straw grown favors the
Bluestem, while the leaf formation is
like the Turkey Red
No definite results are obtainable
until the second years growth after
the cross has been made. Since the
first cross was made in 1903 the sta
ton staff has selected the plants that
possessed the characteristics of the
desired hybrid. The first year only
12 or 13 perfect plants we're obtained
but last season nearly $4,000 were
grown.

is JACK LONDON LOST.
No Tidings from Author Since He

Started ON FOOlhariy Journey.
Oakland, Jan. 24.-Dread that
news may come confirming their fear
that disaster has come to Jack Lon
don's Shark, has entered the hearts
OF his friends at his home here. This
fear caused the Central bank today
to record a mortgage against his
home which was drawn last April.
The negotiation was secret, but the
fear OF death of the author caused
the bank to take the legal action to
protect itself. Since leaving Homo
lulu London and his wife have not
been heard from.
Not since October last, when the
little power boat Shark, in which Mr..
London and Mrs. London are touring
the world, left Hilo, Hawaii, has the
party been heard from. The desti-
nation of the Shark was Marquesas
island in the South Pacific, and is
was expected to reach that point
early in December. Many weeks
have since passed with no message
from the distinguished writer and no
report as to the whereabouts Of the
staunch little vessel which so brave
ly weathered the broad expanse of
sea lying between San Francisco and
Hawaii, the first stopping place on
the foolhardy world circuit.

Conflagration - Five Killed and
22 Injured by Falling Walls.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 24.-The entire
business district of this city is burn
ing and the town may be entirely
wiped out by the flames unless aid
speedily arrives from Bath and Lew
iston 10 which kilograms asking as
slstance have been sent.
The city hall has already been de-
stroyed. A bowling northeast wind
is raging which is driving the flames
from the center of the city down a
steep incline towards the water front.
Portland is town Of SOFAS inhab-
itants byotlfm. last census, the largest
city in he mir and one Of the oldest
in New Ngfand. Its principal in
dustries are shipbullding and the
manufacture of locomotives, and iron
work. Large warehouses on the
water front care for the West Indian
and European trade.
Although the fire was under con-
troll by 10 o'clock this morning the
$500. 900 city hall was destroyed. All
the records saved consisted of
those Of the treasurer and city
clerk. It is estimated that the fire
caused a loss of s1,OO0,OOO. It is
the worst that has visited this city
since 1866.
No Lives Lost.
That no one was killed is remark
able. One of the greatest losses is
that of the complete destruction of
the Greenleaf law library, valued at
$4,000.
Although the property loss is esti-
mated at $1,OO0.O00. this does not
cover the almost irreparable damage
to property holders in the loss of
deeds and documents.
In a hall nearby 700 people were
dancing at Knights of Pythias ball.
All were taken out safely. Chief En-
gineer Melville Eldridge is among
those seriously injured.

What is undoubtedly the biggest
land and irrigation deal to be made
in Umatilla county this year is now
about closed in this city and by some
time tomorrow 1t is thought the pa
pers will have been signed and the
land transferred.
By this deal the Hinkle Ditch COM
pany will sell to Cleaver Brothers Of
Chicago, representing immense asst
ern capital, the entire holdings Of the
former company near Echo, includ-
ing about 20 miles of irrigation ca
nails, capable Of irrigating 10000
acres of land, the deal representing
approximately 100000.
1t is understood that the capital
lists who are making the purchase
will colonize the land under the ditch
and thus Umatilla county will be
greatly benefited by and is directly
interested in the consummation of the
deal.
The Hinkle Ditch company owns
what is known as the Hunt ditch,
which is taken out of the Umatilla
river at Echo and which extends for
about IL miles west to the vicinity
Of Cottonwood bend on the Umatilla
opposite Hermiston.
The ditch originally cost about
$40, 900 and has been greatly enlarg-
ed and improved and is now one Of
the leading irrigation projects of the
west end of the county.
Under the ditch system are some
of the richest and most productive
lands in Umatilla county and the en-
tire project is susceptible to a high
state of cultivation under irrigation,
and can be made highly productive.
The Hinkle ditch project is win
ter irrigation scheme and under it, il
is the plan TO flood the land thor
oughly during the winter season when
water is plentiful in the Umatilla
river, but during the summer months
when water is scarce little water viii
be applied to the land, as the winter
flooding is sufficient to produce ex-
cellent crops.
During the past two years work
has been constantly in progress on
the extensions Of the ditch until it has
been pushed across 10 the west side
of Butter creek and now includes a
large amount of fine land in its linn
its.
Aside from being good alfalfa land
it is also adapted TO fruit growing,
berries and gardening and when
once in cultivation is worth from $500
to $500 per acre according to the uses
to which it is put.
AS the ditch can be extended west
ward indefinitely TO include much
more semi-arid land, it is considered
one of the most promising projects
in that portion of the county and by
a small additional expenditure OF
capital can be made to encompass
an immense territory.
Land is now selling under the pro-
ect for very reasonable prices and
much development work has been
lone along the entire length OF the
hitch system.
