THEIR HEADS FALL OFF.
How the Governor Dismissed the
Railroad Commission.

Yesterday afternoon the members
of the state railroad commission,
Hons George A. Waggoner and ].
H. Slater were not a little surprised
upon the receipt of notes reading
somewhat like this:
Dear Sir: You are hereby remov-
ed from the office of railroad COM
missioner for the state of Oregon,
tor cause. Said removal takes effect
this date. Yours respectfully,
SYLVESTER PENNOYER,
Governor of Oregon.
To say that the air was filled with
CONSERVATION in the vicinity of the
office of the commissioners would
be mildeXpression of the true state
of affairs. The governor says in his
to these gentlemen
that their removal is "from cause"
Just what that is the gentlemen
thus hastily dethroned are at a loss
to know. The supreme court In its
decision would seem to divest them
of what power was thought TO be
vested in them. The governor,
looking at it in this light, the COM
missiOners divested Of their power
and their work of examination"
aud investigation accomplished,
with one full swoOp of his sword
severed their officials heads.
The commissioners feel grieved
and are inquiring the "eause why"
with no degree Of success.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
He Lets the R. R. Commissioners Out
An Exploded Bomb.

The governor commenced his an
nual message by giving the financial
condition of the state, noting that
the expenditures of the current year
were swollen by the appropriations
for the railroad and fish commission.
The state Indebtedness amounts to
$29, All. .66, and that will be entirely
liquidated within the six months.
Under assessment and taxation he
urges legislative action, and recon-
mends an income tax law. The
railroad commission he dismisses,
stating the decision of the supreme
court had left the commission with
power only of investigation, and as
they had performed that duty he
removes them from Office. He
thinks the legislature cannot dele
gate power to the commission, and
indicates that the right way is to
pass a maximum rate bill.
He advises the forbidding of TAX
ing salmon by fish wheels, and re-
commends the abolishment of the
fish commission, as there is no use
for it since the Clackamas hatchery
has passed under the control of the
federal government.
The asylum, penltentiary, deaf
mute school, blind school and or
phans' home he thinks should be
under state superintendency.
The state university at Eugene is
in a fiourishing coudition and he
deprecates taxing the people for its
support. He opposes free scholar
ships in it, and thinks the law
school and school of medicine in
Portland should not receive state
aid. He recommends the appropri-
alton Of $4,000 to buy farm for
the agricultural college at Corvallis,
but thinks free scholarships in
that should be abolished, and that
there should be no further aid in
the shape of appropriations. He
says the grounds and buildings in
Corvallis have been accepted ac-
cording to law and that there can
be no further doubt upon their legal
He congratulated the country on
the Chinese Exclusion Act, recon-
mends punishment for bribery at
and care in the selection
of United States senator.

FOR A STREET RAILWAY.
Not Content With a Single Line, Sa-
lem is Branching Out.

Scarcely two moths ago the Sa-
lem Street Railway Co. was incor-
porated, and to-day, much to the
convenience of our citizens and So
journers, cars are making regular
trips from Commercial street to the
Capitol. From the Lirth of the in
corporation it was the ultimate in
tention Of the prime movers in the
enterprise to, from time to time,
build each branch lines or feeders
as would justify. With this end in
view, it is safe to predict that the
close of the present year will find
Salem enjoying the benefits and
cOnveniences of lines extending
east toward the state institutions,
north TO the northern suburbs and
fair grounds, and south to the GEM
etery. An immediate extension up
either ChCmekete, Center or Marion
streets has been decided upon by
the directors of the company. They
are at present considering the in-
ducements offered by the different
streets and will within two or three
days make final decision in the
locating the line up one
street or another. The property
owners along the three streets have
about completed the raising Of their
subsidies and an early decision Of
the location of the extention, will
be announced by the directors.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Full OF Surprises He Paws the Earth
And Tears the Air.

Perhaps the busiest day OF the
present session thus far was yester'
day, although this mornings work
has followed in the same channel.
The governors message was and
is the all-absorbing topic. 1t opens
wide a vast field for comment and
discussion. Each member has his
own private opinion as to the worth
of the document. 1t suits all in one
particular or another, but still each
one has his grave objection to some
portions Of it.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The republican U. S. Senatorial
caucus was conducted last night and
there was an attendance of sixty
six. Senator BARN was the presid-
ing officer, with r. P. Earhart sec
retary.
But two ballots were necessary to
accomplish the end.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
BrannOn, One Of The Overland Pa'SSn-
gers is Brought From Harrisburg
HE AND AVERY FACE TO FACE.
Avery Says BrannOn is Not the Man
WhO Did the Shooting.

Sheriff Croisan last night went
up to Harrisburg and this morning
returned, bringing with him the
young man Walter Brannon, who
was supposed to have been party
to the shooting scene on the over
land train Tuesday night. Mr..
Brannon was only too glad to ac-
company Mr.. Croisan to this city,
where he was brought face to face
with Frank r. Avery, the wounded
man.
Brannon said it was a clear case
of mistaken identity and immediate
ly upon being brought by the sheriff
into the presence of Avery the
latter exclaimed: mo, no, he is not
the man. It was the one with the
blonde moustache. This is the man
1 fell against after was shot. He
was in the car and when I opened
the door and fell 1 remember seeing
him."
Brannon and Avery agree upon
the man with the blonde moustache
as having been the one, as he and
Avery were on the platform together.
This man was bound for San Fran
cisco.
After the train left the Salem
station on the night Of the occur
renee the conductor checked up and
found only one passenger to be miss
ing since they had passed Gervais.
This was Avery. From this it will
be seen that the assassin, whoever
he can be, was still on the train
after leaving Salem.
Crank A. Avery, " the wounded
man, told CAPITAL JOURNAL man
this morning, "is my true name. 1
tried to conceal it for the sake of
my parents and sisters, who reside
in San Francisco. ] didn't want
them to know L was wounded. That
is all L wished to conceal. / was
shot by man l had never seen be-
fore, and 1 can only think he mis-
took me for someone else. 1 have
often been taken for different per-
sons, but this is the toughest treat
ment 1 ever received at their hands,"
Avery is able to sit up all the
time, but to-day his wounds were
paining him not little. The ball
has not yet been extracted from his
back and as yet the physicians have
been unable to definitely locate it.
Avery has telegraphed his father
at San Francisco to prosecute the
search vigorously for the man who
did the firing and says he is him
self ready and anxious to prosecute
him to the full extent of the law.
The wounded man takes his in
juries with a cool nerve, bearing up
under the pain and thinks
he will be able to proceed on his
journey southwark after a few
weeks. He is at the home of Mrs.
Baker, where comfortable quarters
are prepared for him, with able as
and medical attention. He
is but twenty-siX years of age,
though looks much older on account
of heavy growth of beard. He is
single man, but says he has several
sisters in San Francisco who would
be here to nurse him had he not
them that he was not
wounded and would come

An Ancient Habit Of Stealing.

&. We generally agree with the Belle
fOnte lVdtchnidn, and do not often agree
with its townsman, Governor Beaver /;
but on the fence question we are not
with our mountain contemporary and
suggest to it that II should reconsider its
position. The Hdtchmdn's subscribers
have always enjoyed the privilege Of
pasturing their cattle on other peoples
ground, not because il was their right,
but because their cattle were not stop
ped by fences their neighbor always had
right to fence their cattle out but as
the fence would cost more than the
mountain land In worth, and beside
would not stay up.a year under the as
saults Of the deer hunter and the cattle
uAser, the mountain lands are not
fencef in and the cattle owners calmly
drive their lean cattle out on the noun
tatns In the spring and drive them back
mt as winter sets in, visiting them occa-
sionally during the summer TO salt them,
but never saying by your leave to the
land owner or offering to pay rent for
the pasture or at least the annual taxes
upon the land.
We have often gazed upon these droves
OF cattle and listened to the music of
their tinkling bells, and wondered
what sort Of folk they were who thus
calmly took possession of other peoples
land. As the Wdtchn,an claims them
- its subscribers, we suggest to it that it
has an opportunity and perhaps "A duty
before 1t to do missionary work among
them and TO remind them that what is
worth taking is at least worth asking
Tor and that IL is not generally consid-
cred respectable and honest to take what
does not belong to you simply because
you are able to do il.
The Wdtcjin'da's constituents COM
plain that this ancient law Is repealed
which made land owner fence his land
u he desired 10 make cattle owners nav
tor damage To its crops by their animals,
With this law out Of the way and society
Jestored 10 its natural condition. ne
whose cattle do damage To his neighbor
must respond TO that neighbor: aud the
WatctDsopa's constituents can no loncer
Set out from the barn in the
sprlngtiihe their COWS aud calves
aud oxen and care for them no
more till the snow flies but they
must go to the owner Of pasturage land
and buy the privilege they have hereto
t0re simply taken. Will not the Watch
man tell them that this is now The duty Of
their brethren In the rest of the civilized
world, and that if they have profited by
esSbbing pasture for a hundred years
en<y ought to be thankful for their past
nvor and grumble not that It will he
necessary for them in the future to pay
1hr what they get.
