Portland, Feb. 4.--According to a
special dispatch received here from
Washington the withdrawal of Chris
Schuebel from the contest for con-
firmation as federal district attor-
ney can be expected within a few
days and that the news that Senator
Bourne has Joined with Senator Full

delegation in an attempt to select
another man may be expected.
Bourne II is said, is now convinced
that it would be almost impossible
to secure SchuebePs confirmation.
He will not leave the fight, however,
without making good terms.
Schuebel is to have the refusal of
the assistant district attorneyship and
Bourne is to participate in the selec-
tion of a new candidate.
This latter clause will exclude
George G. Bingham, of Salem. who

Portland, Feb. 4.-The direct ef-
forts on the part Of Heney to i'm
peach the testimony of District At
torney w. C. Bristol in the Hall case
created a sensation this morning and
relieved an otherwise dull session.
A few days ago Bristol took the
stand for the defense and testified
that he had never had any direct con-
nection with the Hendricks land
fraud case and that in particular he
never wrote and signed the telegram
to Heney asking that sentence on
Hendricks be delayed.
He testified that the telegram was
written by his assistant, Irwin Rit-
tenhouse, and that he 'jacked up"
Rittenhouse about it.
Today Rittenhouse took the stand
and contradicted Bristol's testimony
in detail. Heney also put other wit
nesses on the stand to impeach the
minor portions of the district attor-
ney's testimony. Bristol will take the
stand and give testimony explaining
the apparent contradictions.

DIR, JOHNsON's WILL REJECTED.
Witnesses Identify Signatures But
Don't Remember Attaching Them

II. F. Johnson was yesterday after
noon named by County Judge Gill;
land as the administrator of his faith
er's estate which is valued at $4,000.
The action was taken after Judge
Gilliland had refused to admit for
probate will that had been found
among the papers of the late Dr.
Johnson.
Under the terms of the will that
was found one third the estate was
left TO the deceaseds wife: the sum
of $4,000 to H. F. Johnson, to be
used by him during his life time and
upon his decease 10 go to the other
children or their heirs; and it was d.
+rected that the remainder of the es-
tate be divided equally among the
following: Mary D. Smith, of Chica-
go, daughter; Frances B. Johnson,
of Beaumont, Texas, a daughter;
and Clifton B. Johnson of Salt Lake,
Utah, a son.
The will was written by hand upon
note paper and was witnessed by c.
X. Cranston and ]. T. Laimbirth,
both of the First National bank.

executor. However, he did not urge
that the will be admitted to probate

changed the johnson estate will be
administered as though the old gem

Never before has Umatilla county
realized from taxes anything like the
amount that will be paid in during
the present tax paying period. The
total of the tax now being collected
is $351,sS0.S2. This is 25 per cent
greater than the amount Of the ta1
collected last year and IL is double
some of the taxes of several years
ago. Il
A detailed study of the present tax
roll shows some very interesting
facts. One feature that is significant
and speaks we'll for the prosperity
of the county is the fact that the in
creased taxation was caused more
by the people themselves than by
the county court.
Last year the special school dis
trict taxes, voted by the people Of
the respective districts, amounted TO
$4,000 while this year the sum TO
be raised is $1,000. Last year the
city taxes, voted by the different
towns of the county. amounted to
$4,000. while this year it aggregates
$4,000. The general tax last year
raised the sum of $215,OO0 and this
year it amounts to s25S,o0O. How
ever goodly part of this increase is
due to the fact that the state tax is
heavier than last year.
An examination of the tax roll
shef that Pendleton will derive a
total of s1I1i9.44 from the two and
a half mil ltax voted by the council.
The amounts for the other towns of
the county will be as follows: Adams.
S11S9.37; Athena, s3S61.30: Echo.
S16L12; Freewater, s1935.64: Una
tilla, s635S4; Weston. s1146.5l. The
Pendleton school district, No. Is. will
receive $21,545.59 from the district
tax this year. OF the school districts
in the county IS voted special taxes
this year and it is by far the largest
number ever taking such action.
At the sheriffs office the work of
receiving taxes is now on and the
place has become a buster one thar
usual. However, the big rush Of
payments is not vet on for there is
yet ample time for people to pay
their taxes and still receive the three
per cent rebate.

LEFT MONEY IN PENDLEToN.

How would you like to be the
fellow who had Just bought some-
thing from the ''newsy'' on the train
and in the attempt TO "d'g up" find
that your pocketbook with S67 was a
minus quantity?" This was the sad
misfortune OF Tulio Trammels who
returned from a weeks trip to Spo-
kane last Monday, says the Condor
Globe.
Trammels had stopped over night
in Pendleton In order TO make con-
nection with the PendletOn local and
in the wee hours of the morning in
the endeavor to make the train In
plenty of time, forgot his purse.
Not until he reached into his
pocket on needing money 70 pay for
something on the train, did he be-
come aware OF the fact that his roll
OF money had been left behind.
Having through ticket he got
home all right, but had to write
letter to the hotel as he did not have
the price of a telegram. He went
back to work on the M. X. Thompson
ranch, and we hope that his money
has been returned.

planned the extinction of the dynasty
