THE cleverest thing on record, among
railway movements, IL the recent dis
ruption OF the lesee between the Union
Pacific railway and the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company. James j..
Hill OF the Great Northern road has
effected an arrangement by which he
will be able to run his trains direct to
Portland by the o. r. q N. route. d.
worrying from his main line at Spokane
Falls. This will enable him to beat the
Northern Pacific trains into Portland at
least three hours. The next step in
that quarter will be the establishment
of line of steamers from Seattle to the
ports of Southern California, by which
he will be enabled to bill freight direct
from his dock at New York to Los An
geles. Hill is a man bred up to tho
business OF common carrier; and the
fact that his roads, built without one
dollar of subsidy, are making money.
while subsidized roads like the Union
and Northern Pacific are in the hsnds OF
receivers, shows where the business abll'
ity and commercial experience come in.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-07-26

A NOTABLE and decidedly peculiar
crime in it, completeness occurred last
evening whom John Craig, an ex-police-
man. killed his father.in-law, mother
in-lsw, brothsr-in.lsw and wife. The
crime, ~ indicated by the circumstances
so far learned. seems to be the result Of
. hatred towards his victims caused
by the domestic troubles OF the
murderer, his wife having recently
secured divorce from him on
the ground OF cruelty. Craig drove
from this city to the Hunter ranch, near
Tropico, where he killed his vile and
fatally wounded her brother. He then
drove back to this city and shot his
wife's father and mother, so that the
idea Of his being prompted bya drunken
fancy can hardly be held.
