ARE STILL INCOMPLETE
VERD HILL ADVISES PEOPLE TO
ATTEND FAIRS LATER.
Polk County Man Returns From Ha-
waiian Islands and Big
Expositions.

The Hon. Verd Hill of Indepen-
dence has returned from Honolulu,
San Diego, and San Francisco, whith-
er he was accompanied by his bride,
and while at Albany the other day
was interviewed by representative
of the Herald, through whom he ad-
vised all Oregonians intending to visit
the eXpositions to wait at least two
months, both being incomplete at this
time. Many Of the exhibits are not
in place, and those Of foreign coun-
tries have not been even started, in
some instances.
Speaking of the country in Califor-
MIA Mr.. Hill stated that vegetation in
Southern California was not any
further advanced than here in the
Willamette valley and at the same
time remarked that the Willamette
valley had not experienced the dam
aging rains that had infested that sec
ton of the neighbor state the past
winter Winter crops of all kinds
have been completely ruined but the
California people whom he character
lied as "loyal to the core" refuse to
allow any statements damaging their
section of the country to receive any
larger circulation than possible. Ev-
erybody is a booster. The frost has
damaged the orange crop there this
year TO a considerable extent but this
fact is kept quiet. -..-.,. .

TALK BEFORE STUDENTS
MRS. GERLINGER AND PROF.
BUTLER INTEREST PUPILS.
Scholarship Fund Urged By Dallas
Promoter of Education
ing Course.

Two very interesting talks were CIV.
en- in the high school assembly last
week by Mrs. George Gerlinger OF
this city and Prof. G. H. Butler OF
0, A. c.. Mrs. Gerlinger spoke in
the interest of a student scholarship
fund to be raised by the students, and
awarded each year to some deserving
student to assist him in meeting the
expenses Of college course. Some
of the larger schools are now raising
such a fund.
Mr.. Buffers talk was chiefly to in
terest the boys of the high school in
the course in mining engineering Of
fered by 0. A. C. He presented some
very alluring facts regarding this line
of work, but at the same time insisted
that results in this work, as in all
Others, could be accomplished only by
diligent effort. In his general re-
marks before the student body Mr..
Butler rather surprised his hearers by
saying that he would not advise all
of them to attend college, but would
advise some of them not to. If they
had frittered away their time in high
school, as some students in all schools
do, they would probably waste another
four years in college. He emphasized
the fact that habits formed in high
school will greatly influence the future
Of the pupil.

WHO IS SELLING BOOZE?
City Officials Receive Complaints
That Law is Being Violated.

Mayor Van Orsdel and Alderman
Young have this week received anony-

that there is drinking in certain
places within the city are entered.
One Of the communication bears the
signature of "W. C. T. T." and the
other "AIother. " While little atten-
ton should be paid TO complaints
coming from an anonymous source,
generally speaking, an investigation
is being made by the re 1ients, and
if the liquor law is being violated an
attempt will be made to bring the
guilty ones to justice.

Headstones for Union Soldiers.

The Dallas Grand Army post wants
the names of all Union soldiers bur-
led in local cemeteries that they may
be forthwith reported to the national
government, which supplies free of
charge headstones to mark their last
resting place. About year ago the
post undertook to secure these names,
but relatives and friends of the dead
heroes failed to report, and now it is
making another effort. Peter Green
wood, commander of the post, should
be notified.

HELD TO GRAND JURY
DALLAS MAN HELD BY UNCLE
SAM FOR SWINDLE.
Federal Detectives Assert He Used
Mails in Clever Scheme
to Defraud.

Another clever scheme for separat-
ing the unwary from their coin crum-
bled under the weight of the law
Saturday evening when Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Hartmann and a
postal inspector arrested W. e. Fox
here on Saturday ON a charge of US
ing the mails to defraud. When ar
.raigned ,at Portland On Tuesday, Fox
waived his preliminary hearing be-
fore z Commissioner Frederick III.
Drake. He told the commissioner he
wanted to plead guilty and start his
sentence, but owing to the federal
regulations he will not be allowed to
plead until grand jury has passed
on his case.
The postal authorities say that
Fox advertised in the Seattle papers
for mechanics, machinists, locomotive
engineers and the like to go to work
on the construction of a large sugar
mill in Honduras. Write to the In
formation Sales company at Dallas,
advised the advertisement, giving
record of the persons you have work
ed for during the last year. No fees
charged, but-now comes the joker:
Inclose so cents to pay for investiga
ton of your record If you prove
satisfactory your transportation will
be paid to Honduras and you will
be guaranteed six months employ
ment. The postof1ice authorities, 1t
has been brought out by the govern
ment sleuths, delivered from thirty to
fifty letters a day to the box of the
Information Sales company, per j.
T. Bennett.
Investigation followed. Saturday,
when the inspector and the deputy
marshal grabbed Fox, at first heI
pleaded ignorance. One j. 7. Ben
nett, he said, was running the bust
ness. "Hop into our auto and we II
go get Bennett" said the inspector
cheerily. Benefits out of town. y
Fox objected. "That's all right"
returned the inspector. "Come on.
Wen get Bennett if he's anywhere in
the United States. In fact" he OBJ
served, scrutinizing Fox closely,
"we've got him now"
Fox went with the officers to his
home where a number of uncashed
money orders were found, also an
order which he. had drawn to pay an
bill from a Seattle paper
The inspector says that Fox's method
was simply to open the letters. take
out the 50-cent pieces, and throw the
rest in the fire. When self-addrnsS-
ed inclosure bore a stamp the little
red seal was torn off and saved. The
writer never heard anything from the
Information Sales company.
Fox was in charge of the Portland
Cement company's property near Dal-
las, from where he prosecuted his OPP
erations. His family is now there. He
is quite well known in this city, hav-
ing had business dealings with a con-
siderable number of people, some of
which was not with the utmost salts
