ORCHARDCO.
MEN NAbbED
IN PORTLAND

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore. Feb. ID
This is Just the beginning" said
United States District Attorney
McCourt today, speaking in re-
gard to the arrests of A. j. Biehl
and II. II. Humphrey of the de-
funct Columbia River Orchards
company, and II. T. Conway and
II. H. Riddell, president of the
Oregon Inland Development COM
pany, for using the mails to de-
fraud.
1--WE intend to wipe all get-rich-
quick land schemes out of Ore
gon and fit punishment will be
meted out to their promoters, y
added McCourt.
Warrants for the arrest of w.
e. Delarm, president, and G. V.
Hodges, another officer of the
wrecked orchard company, and
Frank Richert, president of the
development company, have been
issued and will be served If the
men can be found. Delalm and
Hodges are believed to be in Can
ada, and Richert in the East.
Biehl and Humphrey are at lib
erty on bonds.
McCourt said crooked work
marked the bond selling and pro-
motion career of the orchard con-
cern. The company floated $3,-
100000 bonds and had assets of
possibly S250,000.
The company operated through
three branches and their officers
had official relations insuring a
distribution of bondholders' coin
to all.
The Washington Irrigation and
Fruit company was the first of the
companies In the field; then fol-
lowed the formation of the Colum-
bia River Orchard company at Sc
attic and finally the organization
of the Oregon-Washington Trust
company of Portland took place.

FIRE FIRST
GUN At
I. RECALL

An attempt to kill the recall
and civil service was made this
morning in the council.
Mrs. NJ. Laube Loomis and five
other women appeared asking to
have the recall lated so 1t
would be killed practically and
the Central Improvement league
had two reports aimed at tinker
ing with civil service, one to abol-
ish 1t entirely.
n Commissioner Woods moved at
once to adopt all the reports and
submit the question to the people.
He hoped both civil service and
the recall would be wiped out.
Weeks rushed to his aid.
Freeland and Petit refused to
go into the game and the matter
was finally referred to the city
attorney.
Judge stiles says any attempt
to amend the city charter will be
hnwise now and will refuse to
sanction any amendments.
