and Fine is in Sight.

and Fine is in Sight.
New York, June 11.-Charles R
Heike, the white haired secretary Of
the American Sugar. Refining company
was convicted last night on one count
of an indictment charging conspiracy
to defraud the government of customs
duty on sugar.
Ernest w. Gerbracht, ex-superin-
tendent of the Williamsburg Brook
lyn) refinery, was convicted on all six
counts.
For James F. Bendernagel, ex-cash-
ier of the refinery, the jury stood z to
5 for acquittal He will be tried
again.
The verdict was announced at 1926
p. M, after the jurors had deliberated
for IL hours less IA minutes. They
had labored earnestly from time to
time, sending out for transcripts of
the testimony, particularly that refer
ring to Heike. But it was Benderna-
gels case that caused the long session.
Over his fate more than 20 ballots
were taken.
This ends the governments second
attempt to imprison the group of men
responsible for the vast underweigh-
ing frauds to which the so-called trust
virtually has confessed by the restitu-
tion of more than So, 900, 900 in duty.
Heike is the highest official of the
company upon whom blame has been
fixed, and he now faces a possible
sentence of two years in the Federal
penitenitary and fine of $40, 900. He
is 65 years old and broken in health
and spirit. His counsel, in summing
up, declared repeatedly that a prison
term meant nothing less than death.

Drews Valley Dam viii Be Finished
by Early Next Spring.


Lakeview-The Oregon Valley LanC
company has awarded the contract fol-
the construction of the Drews valley
dam to E. S. Burney, involving $125,
900. The work is to be finished by
May l, 1911. This insures water for
irrigating purposes next season.
The dam will be 65 feet high, with a
base of 140 feet and the top IL feet
wide. 1t will be built of rock entirely,
the lower part being faced with solid
masonry, while the upper part will be
faced temporarily with lumber, the
cost of cement at this time making
such action advisable. When com
pleted the dam will hold 5000 acre
feet Of water.
1t is expected that the contract for
building the fumes will be let next
week. Work throughout the project
will be pushed from now on. The
main flume in Drews creek canyon will
be about two miles in length, it being
IL feet wide and feet in depth.
Practically all of the lumber is ready,
and the work is well in hand.

CIRCLES NEW YORK
Charles K. Hamilton Files Seven
Times Round Island.
Pouring Rain and Broken Guy Wire
Do Not Daunt-Fly to Phil
adelphia Next.

New York, June 14.-Such a little
thing as broken guy wire could not
keep Charles X. Hamilton on the
ground today. In the pouring rain,
Hamilton left the ground at IL minu-
tes past this evening and for 10 min
utes and three seconds circled the low
er end of Governors island and how
cred over the harbor.
In making his preliminary run over
the sandy surface of the island, Hamil-
ton bumped surveyors stake and
smashed guy wire. He knew it him
self, but nobody else did until he
alighted after beautiful flight.
1t rained hard all day, but despite
the faint prospects of decent weather
for flight, good-sized crowd bore
witness to their faith in Hamilton's
daring. Shortly before O'Clock the
weather moderated. There was almost
no wind and the heavy, moisture-laden
air was just right for aviation. So
Hamilton wheeled out his machine,
warmed up the engine and was off in
few minutes.
Seven times he circled the island at
a height of about 200 feet and then
came down with the swoop of falcon.
Hamilton confidently expects to
start tomorrow morning at o'clock on
his flight to Philadelphia and return
for the New York Times and the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger prize.
A special train will accompany him.
The weather prediction for tomorrow
in the territory Hamilton will traverse
is fair to cloudy, with rising winds.

ROBBERS PLUMBER MINE.
Two Men Get Away With Vastly Rich
Sack of Ore.


National, Nevada, June 13. - Two
robbers held up three miners in the
stope above Tunnel No. So, of the
property of the National Mining com
pany, of Nevada, locally known as
"The Mint" on account of its great
wealth, about IL o'clock last night and
carried off a sack of high-grade gold
ore weighing 100 pounds and valued at
So, 900.
Sheriff Lamb and number of dep
uties hurried from Winnemucca to day
and are now investigating the robbery.
This is considered one of the most dar-
ing crimes committed in the state in
recent years. At the time of the rob
berry the night shift, numbering about
rs men, was busy at work, all the men
within 5000 feet of tunnel No. 81.
Under cover of darkness the despera-
does succeeded in getting past the var
ious armed guards and hid near the
mouth of the tunnel. Just at IL
O'Clock carman rolled a car of ore
from the tunnel. He was promptly
covered with guns by the robbers. In
accordance with instructions he led the
way to stope 4, where the shift boss
and another miner were working.
This necessitated climbing a small
manway, go feet long.
One of the desperadoes stood guard
over the miners, while his partner de-
scended the manway with sack of ex-
ceedingly rich ore, telling the miners
that any move on their part meant
death. The second man then descend
ed the manway and disappeared with
his partner.
An alarm was Immediately sounded
and search of the mountains began,
but no trace of the robbers was discov-
erred

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE.
REPLANT 1850 ACRES.
Forest Service Would Overcome De-
Vastation of Great Fire.

Forest service Woulu overcome De-
vastation of Great Fire.
Eugene-D. E. Fippon, deputy su.
pervisor of the Siuslaw forest reserve,
has finished replanting 1850 acres Of
denuded forest land in the Coast noun
tains. The mountains in the Hebo dis
trict are absolutely barren, the trees
and other vegetation having been des-
troyed by great fire many years ago.
A force of 80 to 40 men worked for
six weeks in March and April of this
year and planted Douglas fir seeds in
holes seven feet apart sover the tract.
The cost of this work is estimated at
$2.50 per acre, including the cost of
the seeds, which is about $1.40 per
pound, purchased at seed stores.
Similar work has been done during
the last year or two between the Stu
slaw and Alsea rivers, and it is the in
tention of the service to ultimately re-
plant all the barren spots in this re-
serve. Several thousand acres will be
planted this fall.
Trees make very rapid growth in
the Coast mountains, on account of the
excessive moisture in that territory.
1t is estimated that from the time it is
planted Douglas fir will grow to a
size suitable for its conversion in
to lumber in 40 or so years.

FIRE SWEEPS SEATTLE.
Loss Will Aggregate Million Many
Lives May Be Lost.

Seattle, Wash, June 11.-Fire or
the waterfront in the northern part OF
the city late last night swept away
nearly all the buildings on 10 blocks
and caused the loss of 81, 900, 900 worth
of property and probably number of
lives, at least a score, it is thought.
Firemen say that many dodgers in
some of the wooden buildings destroy
ed must have perished.
The burned area is bounded by Rail
road avenue just east of the harbor
front, Third avenue, Wall and Vine
streets.
Not all the buildings in this area
were destroyed, a hurricane blowing
from the West having driven the
flames toward some buildings and
saved others.
A violent wind sprung up about sun
set andtore down signs and drove peo-
pie from the streets.
At 1920 O'Clock an alarm of fire
was turned in from the large three
store frame warehouse of Galbraeth,
Bacon & Company at the foot of Bat
terry street. By the time the fremen
had reached the scene the whole build
ing and its infammable contents were
a roaring furnace.
The wind from off the salt water
was blowing the flames and firebrands
against other wooden buildings to the
north and east, and the problem be-
came not one of saving property al
ready attacked, but to prevent destruc-
tion of thickly-settled district occu-
pied by old wooden buildings of the
f1imsiest construction.
Dozens of lodging house and So
called hotels were among the buildings
destroyed. They were two and three
story buildings, and burned like tinder.
The police and firemen think that some
Of the dodgers in these buildings must
have perished. The ruins are still
blazing fiercely and it will be impossi-
Die to explore them for some time.
Three fremen were outside a burning
warehouse at Wall street and First av-
enue when an explosion threw the wall
