on charge Of violating the valen-
tine antitrust law, an Ohio statute.
Charges Of conspiring to keep

The indictments were an outgrowth
OF the strike riots Of East Youngs-

The indictment alleges that guards

night Great Britain's view on the
German-American situation has ra-
Ideally changed. The belief Is grow
ing the relations are more tense, and
the possibility OF war is seriously
considered.
Danish and Dutch representatives
say Germany's bitterness toward the
United States is increasing 1t is not
known whether this Is due to con-
gress upholding President Wilson's
submarine policy.
War insurance brokers and others
hitherto dlsinclined to regard the
situation seriously are now alive to
the possibilities Of German
American break.
Afternoon newspapers emphasized
this view. Their headlines called at
tention to Wilson's Washington VIC
tory, and such phrases as Decks
Cleared for Action" and Wilson De-
fcs German Piracy" were numerous.
Some still believe Germany will yield
to America.

Salem, Mar. S.-Governor Witty
combe today wrote to all members
of the Western Governors confer
ence asking whether they preferred
holding their annual meeting in
Butte in April, as planned, or holding
1t in June during the National Gov
ernors' conference at Salt Lake city.
Governor Withycombe is secretary
of the western conference. The let
ters were issued at the suggestion OF
Governor Lister, president Of the
conference. Difficulty Of getting full
attendance at Butte in April is the
reason suggested by Withycombe for
postponing the meeting.

THE LAND GRANT HEARING.

Ah2NO 0kNA&N4 AAAIAAsAA'Ss
The hearings as they are proceed
ing before the public lands commit
tee of the house in the land grant
matter make clear the fact that the
Chamberlain bill, with some minor
changes. will be the grist that finally
comes out Of the mill. Hawley's bill
met the wishes of the state Of Oregon,
especially Of the counties most inter-
ested, but It did not suit the ultra
conservationists and the greedy ones
who wanted a slice Of the unsold
lands. The latest move Of the rail-
road company, in Offering to relin-
quish its claim to the 100000 acres
upon the payment of s1O,O00,0Oo is
probably the entering wedge for
further compromise but any COM
promise seems to be the yielding Of
exact justice. The railroad has al
ready had more than its legal $3.50
per acre for tie lands sold. There
is no provision Of the granting act
that says It is to have an average Of
$3.50 for the lands yet to be sold.
II is to have mot more than $3.50
per acre." not as an average, but for
individual tracts Of not to exceed 160
acres. Lands that will not sell for
that price per acre can be sold for
less, and the company would have
to be satisfied with what 1t got. The
people have rights to protect in this
matter just as has the railroad COM
pany. A compromise is pretty apt
to mean the yielding Of the rights Of
someone, and It's long chance that
that someone will not be the rail-
road company.

WANTS Sl0,0OQ,0O0
FOR LAND GRANT

Washington, Mar. S.-For con-
sideration Of $40. 200, 600 the South
ern Pacific today offered to relinQuist
all claim to the Oregon-Californis
grant lands.
]. P. Blair, general counsel OF the
railroad, made the offer to the house
public lands committee. He pointed
out the railroad now claims the right
to remove all timber. which is worth
from $4,000. 1000 to $5o.0oo.o 900
but is willing to compromise to avoid
further litigation.
The Southern Pacific proposition
amounts to about $40 an acre.
Attorney General Gregory advised
the committee the railroad is not en-
titled to over $3.50 an acre with re-
ductions for past excess sales.
This would make the amount to
be received by the railroad less than
$6,000,000.
s. A. D. Puter, noted in Oregon
land fraud history, appeared in be-
half OF 1900 settlers he has located
on the property and for whom he de-
sires preference rights.
Facing a running fire Of questions,
Puter admitted his contracts with
settlers gave him a right to re-
purchase large share Of their lands
at a nominal price IL they once gain
title.

SUGAR FACTORY PROGRESSES.

shape to the call for acreage, and

longer. Many who are not in posi-
ton to farm large tracts themselves
are leasing to the Japanese and 9TH
ers, and practically every available
acre in this district will be planted
to beets. Some Of the farmers now
have few acres ready for the seed,
but Mr.. Austin, the expert here, has
advised against seeding till at least
March 18th. After that date seeding

for this reason that for long time 1t

First the three unwounded men had carried him from the hole where he had hidden and had made their way with him nearly two miles from the scene of the fight when they forced to stop.

All of them were over 26 inches in length. She discovered five banks of cod and the fish in them is pronounced by ex- perts to be as good as, if not better than, the average of their kind in any part of the world. She made an eight hours run from the mouth of the bay, about 50 miles, in company with the New England's Company's schooner Star The Star then had 13O,OOO lbs. of halibut and was fishing for 5O,OOO lbs. more to complete her load.

PARTY
 GETS ANOTHER BLOW

CHICAGO, June 26. - John M Parker, the candidate of the Progress sives for vice-president, and the na- tional committeeman from six states bolted the meeting of the national Progressive committee today when Roosevelts letter supporting Hughes was read. The letter of Roosevelt called on all to support Hughes and Parker and the bolting committeeman have evidently decided to follow their former chief and the blow is regarded as sure to be fatal to the Progress sives. The committee had met as scheduled to see about nominating a candidate but it is considered doubt full now if they will do 50.
