the Northern Division of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad ten per cent. for small sec
ton of country, does not meet with ap-
proyal here, as it seriously makes an unjust
discrimination against shippers from other
sections. Besides, it places an obstacle in
the way of the extension of the Northern
Division of the road from Templeton
through San Luis Obispo county to Santa
Barbara, thus preventing this section from
becoming through line, instead of a
branch, as at present.
c. ?. Huntington is about leaving New

objects of his visit is the consideration of
the extension of the Templeton line to
connection at Santa Barbara. This extern
sion will place the coast counties on the
main line of travel, and will give them the
prominence that their natural advantages
enttle them TO. As this section of the
State is doing all it can to attract immigra-

not think this proper time to let such a
small matter as that now before the Rail-

Heppner state that public feeling is yery
bitter over the fearful murder of J. ri.
Barrett, on Sunday morning, by Fred.
Crump, his brother-in-law. The particu-
lars show the tragedy to have been an
atTocious one. Bartlett and Crump lived
close together on ranches. On Saturday
evening the men had quarrel regarding
some sheep, and almost came to blows
Bystanders separated them, and each went
home. Early on sunday morning Crump
called at Barrett's house, asking him to
step out a moment. The latter was uu
armed, and SUSPECTED nothing. He was
most murderously set upon by Crump,
who, armed with large dirk-knlfe, Just as
Barrett stepped from the door, stabbed
him number of times, causing instant
death
Barrett's wife and his little children were
Mortified witnesses of the atrocious butch
cry, but could render no assistance. so
quickly was the work done. Crump was
lodged IN Jail at Heppner. and so high was
the public feeling that fears were enter
tanned that the prisoner would be lynched.
