LAND BOARD LAX|TY
DESCRIBED
4 VETERAN EMPLoYE OF BODY
GIVES EVIDENCE IN HER
= MANN HEARING.

Portland, Ore, Jan. IA good por-
lion of the time today in the trial of
former Congressman Binger Hermann
was devoted to showing the alleged
lax methods of the state land board
under the administration of former
Governor T. r. Geer. and its alleged
failure to take cognizance of the
schemes OF land grabbers in connec-
ton with school lands and the forma-
ton of public reserves. George G.
Brown. for 1. years an employee of the
state land board explained the system

method of selling land. issuing Ger
tificates, tho payments and similar
routine and identified the certificates
which Were issued to George Soren-
son. Dan Tarpley. Horace G. Mckinley
and others. who were after lands to
be included in the Blue Mountain for
est reserve when Mays. w. n. Jones
and their mysterious friends at
Washington. D. c." had the reserve
created.
Brown was asked if people making
applications We're not supposed to be
taking the land for themselves and re-
Piled that such was the law. He was
then asked If there was no suspicion
of fraud when Sorenson would appear

Brown evaded this direct question by
explaining that he was a subordinate

Ii was not unusual, he said. to re-
eeive a large batch of applications
from some timber dealer, but it did
not cause suspicion and the question
Of fraud never came up until the
grand jury called the attention of the
state land board to what was going
on.

MARKET MOVEMENT
Of THE DAY

New York. Jan. 19-Those concerned
in the stock market had their atten-
ton diverted today from 2snrrr.
causes affecting values to those having
to do with purely speculative causes.
The collapse in Columbus & Hook
ing coal and iron stock affected the
market in much the same way as the
Rock Island episode in the market of
December q, and gave rise 10 tn,

cipline by the stock exchange authori-
ties. were to follow. as in the Rock
Island case
The activities of a market pool in
the Hooking stock have been notori-
Gus for months in the course OF which
the most venturesome made profit by
the practice of initiation of the prices of
the stock for short sales. How little
genuine demand existed for the stock
was the striking demonstration of its
action today when bankers called
loans from the holders. The collapse

price yesterday represents de-
cline rare in the history Of the ex-
change. The sympathetic effect was

There were some of the stocks with
a wider market that did not escape
the unfavorable inference drawn from
the days principal episode. There was
noticeable tendency in fact to point
To the incident as synonymous of meth
DDS pursued in wide field of specu-
lative endeavor through the campaign
which was waged last year In the
stock market.
The violence of the fail in prices
gave rise to many rumors. The an
nouncement of two stock exchange
failures. directly due TO the collapse
in Hooking Coal. naturally stimulated
the spread of such rumors. Another
crop of rnmors had to do with the
supposed revenges of powerful capt.
talists being wreaked upon one anoth-
er by fostering the fall in values Of
stocks. The course of events encour-
aged the bear party to extend its on
erations. The final selling movement
in the last hour gave special evidence
of professional bear origin. and the
very active demand TO cover shorts
and the vigorous tone of the closing
rally were convincing of the fact. The
opening market gave good promise of
advancing. helped by foreign buying of
stocks induced by the better feeling
created in English financial circles by
the days news from the elections in
progress. Prices closed considerably
above the lowest and with an active
rally IN progress. The total sales. L.

Boyd had pinned his antagonist
against the cold sides Of a retort at
last and with fingers clutched about
his throat was beating his head vio-
lently against the iron when by the
lanterns CLEAN he caught one glimpse
Of the fat, purple face in front of him
and loosed his hold with startled ex-
clamation Released from the. grip
that had nearly made an end of him.
Willis Marsh staggered to his feet.
The man was wounded, badly
wounded, as he saw by the red stream
which gushed down over his breast.
Marsh leveled a trembling finger at
Boyd and cried Historically:
s"There he is, men. He tried to MUIR

struck the young man on the instant.
He turned upon the group.

SeeW He tried to strip the shirt from
his wounds, then fell to chattering and

staggered to packing case and sank
upon it, weakly fumbling at his sod

"What are you doing in here? You'd

make them pause. '"rhere has been

the forward movement. You may

son quietly.
If he hasn't knife then he must

Then tell your men what we were

stared at his accuser curiously, but the

Without answering Marsh rose and,
leaning upon the watchman's arm.

made his way out Of the building, fol
lowed by the mystffed fishermen.
No one undertook to detain Emer-

ture He racked his brain for hint
as to the identity Of the woman and
the reason OF her presence alone with

that is proved by comparing their Of

Company Has Paid on $4,000 Bonds
Only $50, 900 OUTSTANDING

The shannon Copper Co. has JUS
paid OFF 100000 of its old mortgage
bonds, so there now remains only $780,
900 outstanding of the original issue
of 100000.
In addition 20 the above bonds the
Shannon Copper Co. also guarantees
the interest and principal of the $780,

bonds of the shannon a Arizona Rail-

of which is owned, is not only earning
the interest on it's bonds, but sub

of over the Arizona Copper Company's
railroad as previously.
The underground operations at the
mine are very favorable. as the COM
pany is getting considerable high

tendency is towards reducing the cost
of production. The cost per pound is
