THE "eYPsEY" TO ARRIVE.
o. o. T. Co.'s. New Schedule. Daily
Boat to Portland.

DOdJ 10 IOfJlAnu.
The rain Of the past few days has
had tendency 10 cause the river to
raise and the guage at the o. II. Il N.
dock now stands alpost s. of foot
above low water mark. The steam
boat men are still hopeful of more rain,
but do not wish the crops any damage.
Both boats on the Willamette are
now carrying large loads of hop pickers
both up and down the river. Last
night over twenty of these industrious
people camped tat the foot of Court
street near the Oregon City Transpora-
ton company's dock. This morning
scores OF wagons loaded with pickers
were seen to pass over. the big bridg .
into Polk county.
Steamer MOdoc arrived up from Port
land at $3.50 q. m. this morning with o
large load of miscellaneous freight aud
also an unusally large number of pas
songers, the lager number of whom
were hop pickers bound for the yards
above Salem. Hastily unloading her
cargo she took on lot of miscel-
laneous freight 1t the dock besides over
twenty hop pickers aud left on the re-
turn trip TO Portland soon after 10
o'clock. This may probably. be her
last trip or the upper Willamette
as she may be transferred to the Yam
hill but as yet no definite arrange
ments have been made.
The Oregon City Transportation COM
pany has again adopted its new daily
schedule whereby the people of Salem
are given daily boat to Portland.
The Altoona and Grey Eagle leave
Portland and Salem respectively at o a.
N, daily and meet at Mission Landing
about midway between Portland aud
Salem when freight and gerslare
transferred and the return trip made.
The first trip was made Sunday and
the new schedule will be followed
throughout the present week for the
accommodation of the many hop pickers
who desire transportation along the
river.
Guy M. Powers, local agent for the
o. r. g. N. Co. in this city, yesterday
received telegram from DC. O'Reilly
assistant general freight agent for that
company in Portland, stating that the
"Gypsey" would leave the metropolis

PORTLAND AND SALEM.
An Electric Road With Fruit Farms
the Whole Length.

-~~~~--
the Whole Length.
There is a probability that the project
10 connect Salem and Portland by an
electric railway will be revived with
the dawn of better times. The scheme
was we'll under way three years ago
lust at the time to be thwarted by the
financIel crisis. F. N. Derby, superiu-
tendent of the Salem Motor railway,
and the protector II Morningside ad-
dition, had been assured Of capital by
an Eastern firm 10 build and equip the
liue. There is ample water-power for
the generation OF electricity between
the two points, and Mr.. Derby esti-
mates that $3.50, 200 will put the line In
operation. His plan was to purchase a
strip Of land one-half mile wide along
the route on each side and divide 1t
into small tracts for sale. The route.
rs contemplated by the projectors, was
east of Oregon City. Mr.. Derby thinks
1t not altogether impracticable to go
between the river and bluff at that
point without crossing the former. AS
an Investment, Mr.. Derby is positive
that an electric line connecting Salem
aud Portland would pay. With 10000
people at one end of the line, and 5000
at the other, to draw from, and the
intervening tributaries. passengers, he
thinks, could be carried from Salem to
Portland or Portland to Salem for so
cents at profit to the road. 1t is not
ut all improbable that this enterprise
will be again taken up and pushed to
completion in the near future.
Supt. f. N Derby has adhered to the
Jracticab lity Of this enterprise and 1t
Ia one OF the greatest opportunities for
la vestment and electrical development
ever offered In the United States.
This wauld bring fifty square miles
of highly productive land into direct
aourly electrical connection with the
Two largest cities In the state-the
capital and the metropolis. Milk, fruit,
vegetables, feed aud all country pro-
duets would fnd market, while the
cities would have a largely increased
trade In their merchandise
While Il would convert $1,000 acres
Of farming lands into suburban fruit
tracts, II would build up a string Of
villages along the entire line. II 10
Just what Is needed to convert this
wealthiest part Of Oregon from a
thinly settled farming region, land
locked with poor roads for four to six
months In the year and convert II into
u thickly settled belt Of suburban homes
and towns.
This Is an enterprise that cannot but
succeed II the right men take hold Of 1t.
II Eastern capitalists could see the
fruit and hop farms, the wealth Of all
crops as they show up at this season Of
the year, and could realize what hourly
firstclass railroad connections would do
to colonlze whole villages OF Eastern
people between Portland and Salem
they would see golden opportunity
for investment.

At O'Clock last Saturday afternoon
Carey Martin started out on horseback
to find bicycle which had been
stolen on the Wednesday before. lie
returned Sunday night bringing the
bicycle and the man who stole II, being
accompanied on bis home trip by two
constables from Lafayette aBd gentle
man from Lincoln. The thief's name
is Bert James, of Dayton, Yamhi !
courtyard he boasts of heing distant
relative of the celebrated Frank and
Jesse James. The fiuding ont, tracing
up and capture of the thief as told by
Carey Martin make an interesting
story, equal In many respects to some
Of the Pinkerton series. The case was
In the hands of Chef of Police Addison
Dllley, of Salem. Carey Martin played
detective, acting all the time under
the advice of the chief and the final
capture was made by Constable A. d.
Hoskins, of Lafayette, he being as
sisted by his eighteen year old son and
Detective Martin.
The wheel was stolen by Bert James
August 28, from hallway next to the
Williams & England bank. He was
seen by Mr.. Goode and was traced by
the Salem police from very slender
clue. Carey Martin disguishsd In old
clothes, armed himself with revolver,
aud located his man, and with the aid
of local constables captured him aud
returned him to this city with the
wheel, where he is bound over for
trial.
Martin says though 1t was hard
trip 1t was highly interesting and that
great credit is due to Chief Dllley, OF
the salem police, for getting the right
clue to the party, and that Constable
Hoskins deserves much pleasure for
the energy he displayed, aud the jun.
ior constable gold medal for nerve
and daring, In holding the man with
