WEALTHY OREGON RANCHER
 CONVICTED OF ROBBERY

Kansas City, Jan. lS-Weiis Louusbery, the wealthy Oregon rancher. who held up and robbed a train a few months ago, was found guilty of highway robbery and will be sentenced to imprison- ment. The attorneys for Loun5- bery enteredbery entered the de- feuse of insanity, but alienists de- cided that he was not Insane, but had criminal tendencies, and that justice could be best served by his imprisonment, if found guilty.
 Lounsbery is well known in Ore roD where he owns considerable property. It is difficult for his friends to believe him of the crime o' which he has just been convicted.

LAWYERS TALK
 IN WHARF CASES

In the wharf cases which are be- fore the district court. the at torneys for the prosecution and the defense have each outlined what they intend to prove in the follow luE statements.
 MT. Rustgard said that the gov ernment would show that the de- feudauts had entered into con spiracy to control the wharf busi- ness at Skagway, and in pursuance of that conspiracy, they had bought the Sylvester Wharf, the Seattle Wharf. and had made the agree ment with the Pacific Coast wharf that it should be closed to the pub lie; that all the coal for Skagway should be bought of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, and that it was the purpose of the conspira- cy to not only control the wharf age and the coal business, but to drive all other steamship companies not in the combine off the South eastern Alaska run, and with this end in view, while those who made contracts with the Pacific Coast s. s. company were charged only one dollar for wharfage, all the GUS toners of all other companies, and the customers of the Pacific Coast company who would not sign con- tracts agreeing to ship all their freight by the Pacific Coast com pany, were compelled to pay S2 ton for wharfage.
 Judge Royal A. Gunnison made the statement of the case for the defense. He said that it would be shown that it was the geographical situation, and not any agreement, which had given the Moores wharf whatever sembIauce of monopoly it enjoyed in She wharfage business at Skagway.
 As the prosecuting attorney has said" said Mir. Gunuison, the facts involved are intricate and cover a long period of time" He said that out from Skagway was a long tide flat. running a thousand feet out tO deep water, and Will liam Moore had chosen and secur- ed the only available wharf site long before gold was discovered in the KIoudike. He was mail car rier to points in the interior, and he recognized the fact that even tualyl a railroad would be built over the White Pass. The place chosen by him for a wharf site was just under the bluff where 1t was pro tected from storms.

ed a right of way along the bluff back of the wharf site, and was awarded $22,OOO in damages. But the rush came, and believing that the business of the town was to be large and permanent, other whar- yes were built. Of these, the Syl- yester wharf and the Pacific Coast wharf, were the only ones which had done any considerable business. He said that the only reason why any business had been done by it was the fact that the man who was at the time collector of customs at Skagway was a relative of the own or of the Sylvester wharf, and had a bonded warehouse built on that dock. and required that all Imports should be landed there. This rul- ing was subsequently, revoked by a regulation of the department, and the Seattle and Sylvester docks had long been used when they were pur- chased by the Alaska Northwest Territories Trading company. He said that they would prove also that the contract with the Pacific Coast company was made before the purchase of the Sylvester and Seattle wharves.

f. W. Andrews, who has been esti-
mating the timber on the Matoon
lands near Bowler, Wis, was home
Monday and Tuesday, and informs us
that his employers, the we'll known
lumbermen the Brooks & Ross
Lumber Co., has bought the Matoon
tract. The lands are covered with
hardwood estimated in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 feet. The price
paid by the Brooks & Ross Lumber
Co. is not known, but the Matoon
people have been holding the lands
including several miles of railroad at
1926, 600. A half dozen other com
panies were after the property and
the woods were oyer-run with cruis-
ers.
The logs will be converted into
lumber at the Brooks & Ross Lum Der
Co.'S mill at Schofield, which is situ-
ated about 30 miles from the timber.
