HELD UP.
The Bisbee Stage Stopped by Two MexicanS Who Make a Small
 Haul,


 county has been free from stage rob berries for foar or five years, or to date exactly, from the date of the hanging of the five Bisbee murderers in the jail yard in Tombstone. The lesson has not been lost and the murdered for money" has not been chronicled more than once since then.
 The element which ruled the road at that time, has given us s wide berth since then and not until Engle, the proprietor of the stage line came in today, did the people realize that they lived in ''hold-up" country.
 The stage was just coming out of the canyon on the smooth hard road where 1t turns into the straight long haul to Tombstone, Engle was driy- ing and beside him was a young woman named Eva Stanley. Inside the coach on the back seat was Dan simon. Engle carried a six-shOoter on the seat beside him, while Simon Ia a similar weapon on his person. The first intimAtiOn of the hold up was the riding from behind of two Mexicans who called upon the driver to halt and st the same time held a pistol cooked under his ear, the other highwayman covered Dan simon with a gun and demand for money was given out. Engle handed out his pocketbook containing S42 and Dan simon gave up 50 cents. The other passenger wss n9t inoiestaaaa although she had on her person more than the others gave up.
 After getting Engle's money the fellow asked TOT his watch, he gave up. Alter getting through with their work they commanded Engle to drive on and stood with their pistols pointed at them until the stage had reached 8 distance out of range, when they rode back at an easy gait from the direction they came.
 IL was just ten o'clock this morning when the hold-up occurred. Both robbers had handkerchiefs tied over the lower part of their faces and they spoke broken English and Mexican prrt of the time. The following is the description of the one who held Engle's attention:
 About 1t. s in. tall, weight about l40 lbs, wore a black soft hat with a silver cord around il, had a red kint scarf around his mouth. He carried Colt A or 45 calAbre, long barrel six-shooter, blue barrel. He rode a bay horse, weight about 300 pounds with peculiar romanish looking nose and an aged looking head.
 The other fellow rode a young bright bay horse, weight about TOO pounds and had blaze face. Both Ben were well dressed. A party win came over from Bisbee yesterday, states that he met two men on the road driving burro who answer the description oi the robbers.
 They took also box of clothes be- longing to the cook at the Can Can. Word was sent by wire to Bisbee, as soon as possible by W. K Meade and men are no doubt now on their trail. They have not much the start of their pursuers and capture is probable as the Bisbee folks never do things by halves A full description was fur nished the deputy at Bisbee.

There are said to be those who object
to The Dalles portage railway bill on the
ground that it will make taxes too high.
But for what purpose can taxes better be
paid? When the object is considered,
an appropriation of $400 900 is but a
bagatelle for the state. Isn't it high
time to crawl out of that old shell? A
fair assessment will raise the valuation of
the state to $3.50, 100000 and payment of
$400 900 on such valuation will be easy
enough. OF course the state has no
money to be wasted, but for purpose
like this it should have money in ample
supply Oregonian.
The amount of money saved to the
producer in Eastern Oregon in two years
would build the portage road and the
success of the farmers would be so great
that land would be taken up and culti-
waited in SO much larger quantities that
the taxable property of this section
would be more than doubled within the
same time. The tax for the building of
| the road will never be felt SO great
would be the increase of the products of
the farms. We believe, too, that as a
speculation, it would pay the state to
build the portage road, as the volume of
business done by the road would soon
make it a paying investment. The leg
islature of this state should not quibble
for cooperation with Washington, but
march straight up to the work and pass
the bill. Do not let this long suffering
people wait two years longer for justice
and remain at the mercy of a robber
railroad corporation longer while relief
is SO easy and SO near at hand. The
| legislature has done we'll in passing one
portage bill now let that body finish the
grand work and it will receive the
thanks of a people released from worse
than Egyptian bondage.

The committees appointed by the
legislatures of Washington and Oregon
to devise some plan of action for portage
railways at The Dalles and Cascades,
met at the Hotel Portland Friday even
ing and again on Saturday. The sub
stance of their work was decision that
neither state could assist the other on
account of legal difficulties. We very
much regret this decision, for we believe
that the interests of both states demand
that joint action should be taken to in
sure the overcoming of these distractions.
We suggest in lieu of any other plan that
each state appropriate, say $100, 200, as a
bonus to the first individual or corpora
ton that will undertake the construction
and operation of a portage road from
Cello. to The Dalles, the recipient of
these endowments or gifts to give salts
factory bonds to each state that it will
build within certain time and will
operate the road or roads upon prescribed
terms for certain length of time or
until the permanent Improvements are
completed by the United States. East
ern Oregon and Washington are in dead
earnest about this matter and with some
such aid a company would be organized
at once to build the portages.

Portraits of Christ.

There is no portrait of Christ which
can be pronounced authentic. The Jews
were forbidden by their law to make
Gkenesses, and SO art, as we understand
the word, scarcely had among them an
existence. There are, however, two por-
traits which have the merit of extreme
antiquity, and were both probably made
at some time in the First century The
one is cut on an emerald, the work pur-
porting to have been done by command
of the Emperor Tiberius The jewel was
preserved in the treasury of CONSTANT
nople, but in some way fell into the
hands of the Turks before that city was
taken by them, and about 1888 was
given by the sultan to Pope Innocent
VIII as q ransom for the sultan's bro
ther. a5..
The other portrait is on fine brass
medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales, in
the year 1902. The workmanship is that
of the First century, and a Hebrew in
scription on the reverse declares the por-
trait to be that of the prophet Jesus.
The two portraits bear close resem-
blance, but it is altogether probable that
both are ideal, and that each followed
the description of Christ given in the
well known but not well authenticated
letter of Publius Leutulus. The napkin
portrait called ST. Veronica's is much
more modern, and is probably a copy of
the emerald likeness. Louis Globe

Mr.: HERMANN At WORK ON THE
CASCADE LOCKS.

The river and harbor bill had hear
through the effort of Mr.. Hermann who
prevailed on the speaker to call the
committee on rivers and harbors together
for the purpose of considering Mr.. Dolph's
bill approprfating the total estimated
amount necessary for the completing the
work at the mouth of the Columbia and
the Cascade locks and canal. The
limited time of the remaining congress
precludes the possibility of getting the
appropriation through, but in veiw OF
this Mr.. Hermann thought it more prac-
ticable to submit a substitute authoriz-
ing contracts to be made at once for the
entire completion of the work. Mr..
Hermann said similar bills had been
reported on favorably by this committee,
and to pass this by without favorable
recommendation would be grave dis
courtesy to this senate bill and an unjust
treatment of one of the great waterways
of this country and explained at length
the Importance of immediate action in
this matter which does not directly make
an appropriation but expedites the great
work through the systems of contracting
for the material and entire work. Mr..
Hermann was authorized by the COM
mittee to make favorable report to the
house. The substitute provides that the
contracts shall not exceed 81 ,S72 900 for
the mouth of the river, and $8I5 900 for
the Cascade locks and canal. The un-
expended funds of the last appropriation
together with the amount asked in Mr..
Dolph's bill is believed to be sufficient
to complete this great work at the
Cascades if done by contract, at an early
day. Mr.. Hermann is very confident il
he can get a recognition in the house for
the considering of the substitute it will
be favorably acted ON as the river and
harbor bill is the only one that harmon
ICES all sections and unites all rival
interests.

NOTABLE DEAD.

One more of the great leaders in the
war for the maintenance of the union
have joined the millions, who, "since
first the flight of years began have laid
them down in their last sleep.' Ad-
miral David Dixon Porter died suddenly
at his home in Washington on the 18th
inst. A son of naval officer, distin-
guished in our history, he used we'll the
opportunities offered him by the civil
war to render efficient service to his
country and thereby endeared himself to
the loyal people of the nation. His
services in conjunction with General
Grant at Vicksburg were essential to the
latter's success and Grant never lost an
opportunity to show his appreciation of
the assistance he there received. In
many respects an ADLER man than his
associate, Faragut, he lacked the moral
courage and frank honest nature which
SO endeared the latter to the American
people.

One of the speakers at the mass meet
ing Saturday evening rejoiced over the
passage of the portage railway bill because
we are "all in it, and the sentiment
was expressed by others that The Dalles
was in greater need of unity than of any
other single commodity. If this has been
true in the past it cannot be changed too
quickly for our own good. No man can
succeed alone in any community his
success is limited only by his readiness
to aid and to be aided by his fellow citi-
zens. Every citizen, when matters of
public interest are at stake, owes much
to his fellow citizens and if he is willing
to stand by the community then his
reward is certain. in matters of personal
interest. The man or set of men who
are ever seeking personal gain at the ex-
pense of the public interests ought to
move where communities don't exist

One of the most important events in
the political history of Oregon is the
passage of the Australian ballot law,
which has passed both houses and been
signed by the governor. This is long
leap in the right direction. We may
lose portion of our population, the
professional ward strikers, who will be
forced to seek employment elsewhere,
but we will hope to make up the loss
before the next census farce is put on the
stage and we believe the loss will not
seriously effect the money market.
