SATURDAY EVENING
Liljeqvist States That Every
Effort is Being Made to
Have Work Done Saturday.

From present indications it will re-
quire all of today and Saturday for
the grand jury to complete its inves-
tigation and bring in a report"
This statement was made this morn
ing by l.. A. Liljeqvist. special agent
for the attorney-general Of the state,
who is in charge of the legal side of
the Investigation which has been un-
der way since Monday morning.
1T isn't an assured fact that We can
finish by tomorrow evening"" Mr..
Liljeqvist continued, ''but we are
working hard toward that end"
At the close of the work last night
the probing body had hailed 81 wit
nesses before it to tell what they
know of conditions in the county, and
at noon today, this list had grown to
approximately 95' according to q
statement emanating from the sheriff's
office. That this list might be in
creased until it includes the names OF
200 witnesses, was the statement
made.
1T seems that every witness called
now gives the grand jury tho names
of. two more persons. so it doesn't
seem that the end Is in SIGHT" it Was
stated.
Interest in the work of the inqnis-
torial body is very keen N Pendleton
right now. Rumors are flying thick
and fast as to the progress that is be-
ing made Friends of the Officials
whose acts have been brnught into
question declare on one hand that they
have INSIDE dope" that no trae bills
will be returned. On the other hand
friends of the other element are pass
ing stories to the effect that several
true bills will be returned.
The grand jurors and the district
attorney. or acting district attorney
are sworn to observe secrecy as to the
testimony that is received by them II
their work, but witnesses are under
no such obligation. and the rumor'
are chiefly formed when two mer
who have appeared piece their stories
together and then make q guess as Z
the whole tenor the investigation il
taking.
"One thing is certainty, II ever

ing the national agricultural confer
ence The farmer has no intention of
organizing large third major party,

that panacea for his ills Is still far in
the shrouded future, They promise the

gress and that the electoral vote Of the
man behind the plow will be felt IN
