A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Body of an Unknown Man Found in the
willamette.

A Salem dispatch dated Sept. 20.
says: With hands and feet securely
tied and each weighted with iron, a
body was found floating in the Will
annette river, 200 yards below the steel
bridge, near the Polk county side, to
day. The discovery was made by boys
in row-boats. Coroner Woods of Polk
county was notified, and held an in
quest on the river bank opposite
Salem this afternoon. A wound with
a blunt instrument In the forehead, a
knife wound below the right jaw and
evidence of hard blow in the mouth,
breaking the upper jaw, were found.
In the pocket was business card of
William Gadsby, housefurnisher,
represented by McGrath, Portland"
A business card of "R. b. Weeks,
warm-air furnaces" was also carried.
An excursion ticket on the o. r. & N.
from The Dalles to Grants, good un-
til October Is. and a rebate check on
the Southern Pacific from Junction
City to Brooks, dated August II, a
poster announcement of the Ten
nessee students, which were to appear
in Sllverton Sertember 10, and cir
eular advertisement of the "Pearless
prune evaporator were also found on
the person, and an open faced gold
filled watch, which had stopped at 1872
The verdict of the jury was that the
unknown person came to his death on
or about September II at the hands of
a person or persons unknown, by be-
ing stabbed in the neck and mouth,
and thrown into the river with weights
attached to his hands and feet.

substantially as follows: Farmers can
make good fair profit from 30 cent
wheat-no great thing, to be sure, but
sufficient, with proper economy, to
keep everything on the ranch in good
order and to lay a little aside for
rainy day. Any thrifty. healthy far
mer can easily cultivate half section
of wheat land by summer-fallowing
half every year.. He can do this with
out hiring any help except in harvest,
and as an offset to this he will have
abundant time to swap harvest work
with others so that his own harvest
expense need amount to little.
In this way farmer who raises
three or four thousand bushels of
wheat which is not a particularly
large yield and sells it at so cents
bushel, makes as good wages as the
same amount of energy and capital
will make in any ordinary department

Attractions at snokane.

1t looks as though the grand moving
pictures of the war which are to be
shown at the Spokane fruit fair will
induce more people to attend that an
nual exposition than any of the other
attractions or than all the fine exhibits
of fruits, vegetables and grains, and
the display of minerals, all combined.
At least these attractions with the
performances of the Japs are talked of
more than anything else by those
people who are planning to take in the
fair this year. Nor is it surprising,
for these moving and stereopticon
pictures are certainly the marvel OF
modern photography. Some of these
pictures will be seen for the first time
at the Spokane fruit fair for their pre-
paration is being hurried along in
Chicago expressly for the fair.
Those who have seen similar scenes
on the canvas say such sight as the
destruction of Cervera's feet, or the
bombarding of San Juan by the flag
ship New York and other pictures
which will be shown must be very
grand as they are made real by the
latest triumph of science.

In Bad Sanitary Condition.

There are four cases of typhoid fever
in the city, and happily only four, so
far as we can learn ,and each of them is
easily traced to unsanitary snrround-
iEgs. Three of them are in Que house
near the Ninth street bridge, where
dirt and filth and bad we'll water easily
account for the sickness. The fourth
case is in one of the Beezley buildings
on Fulton street, Immediately north of
the old Beezley residence, from which
another victim of bad drainage-or
rather no drainage at all-unclean and
gorged privies and vitiated air and
water, was carried to her grave a short
time ago, and from one of which the
red ensign of scarlet fever has been
floating for weeks. From a sanitary
point of view the surroundings of these
buildings could not be worse, and the
authorities of the city will be justly
chargeable with criminal negligence
if steps are not Immediately taken to
have the evil remedied.

Life in the Philippines

Ben Ulrich of this city, who enlisted
in the Second Oregon Volunteers and
who is now at Manila, writes very
interesting letter to his parents under
date of August Is. This was three
days after the capture of Manila in
which the Oregon boys bore an hon
orable part. and were the first to scale
the wall of the captured city. Ben
speaks kindly of the Spanish soldiers.
He is of the opinion that if there is
any trouble in the Philippines it will
be with the insurgents. The Spanish
soldiers were glad of the surrender as
many of the poor fellows were home
sick and anxious to get back to their
native land. The victors treat the
vanquisbed kindly or as Ben says:
"We did not do any Dragging or
growing to make them feel bad but
treated them rig ht.'
We gather from the letter that the
mtnu of an Oregon volunteer would
hardly suit the palates of the pluto
cratic gourmands of the Delmonico.
But Ben makes no complaint. He
speaks of Canned horse" as if it were
an everyday dish st home, and as com.
mon as hard tack or coffee. He had
the luxury of Ia glass of beer at 20 cents
in Spanish money. and can of sar-
dimes at 20 cents in the same currency,
followed by cigar at cents or one
cent American. Flour was a luxury
and brought $25. Spanish sack, but
pop with which the boys loaded
to the gunwhale at the first
was only four cents a
bottle.

A New IRRIGATION Project.

Fen Batty, who has extensive landed
interests in the Juniper Flat country,
accompanied by Sam Brown, l.. G.
Hennigan, Roy Batty and County
Surveyor j. B. Colt made an examina-
tion and preliminary survey this week
of the county west of the Flat. with
view of taking water for irrigaLing the
Flat from White River, or some of its
tributaries. The survey, which was
largely tentative and necessarily limit
ed on account of time, satisfied the
party that much better and shorter
route can be obtained than by what is
known as the Mccoy ditch. which has
been SO long deferred hope that the
settlers dispair of its completion. In
good sooth. in view of McCoy's we'll
known ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, if Mccoy Is to retain
ownership of the ditch after it is fin
ished, the settlers don't care picay-
une if it is never finished. 1t was
found that water can be put on the
Flat from White River, by a hume
and ditch six and half miles long.
The cost of this project has not been
estimated but it would largely depend
on the size of the fume. It is even
hoped that a more convenient and
cheaper though necessarily longer
route may be discovered on further in
vestigation, which it is proposed to
make in the near future. This is very
move for the settlers of an
track of very excellent
wheat land. The Flat has this year
produced $4,000 bushels of No wheat,
and is capable of producing much more.
1t can hardly be less than $4,000 acres
in extent and it's only serious draw
back is lack of sufficient water for
domestic purposes.

A MENACE TO HEALTH
Death Lurks i'm Rubber Closet Connections
In Portland.

In Portland.
The Portland Telegram contains
the following, which will be of inter-
est to builders and those who contem.
plate erecting residences:
The Portland health department
believes it has discovered the hereto
fore hidden secret of the origin of the
malarial and typhoid conditions which
prevail in Portland at times withou
any apparent cause.
Oregon's climate being the most
healthy in the world, and Portland
possessing every advantage of SANTA
tion in the line of pure water and sew
erage, the occasional outbreaks of
typhoid fever and the malarial epi-
denies have been source of as much
mystery as wonder. These epidemics
would break out in the most slightly
portions of the city without the least
apparent provocation or cause.
The cause of this condition of affairs
is believed to lie in the discovery of
rubber connections in closet vents and
waste pipes.
Perhaps not half dozen people in
the city of Portland outside of the
plumbers themselves are aware of the
fact that these dangerous connections
exist in their houses. Now, however.
that the health department. has taken
up this matter, it is believed that a
general overhauling of plumbing will
ensue, and that thousands of rabber
viii find their way out to
the crematorv or public dump where
they belong.
W.T.. Woodward, of Woodward,
Clarke & Co.. who resides in Irvington
one of the healthiest suburbs of Port
land, has child lying at the point of
death with typhoid malaria. How the
disease should get foothold was be-
yond his comprehension. He had
spared no expense in the matter of
plumbin in his house, which had cost
him nearly $500. The mystery was ex.
planned to him when he discovered a
half-rotten rubber connection between
the closet-bowl and vent pipe.
Through this the poisonous gases had
been escaping for months, and the
he has had in his family was
accounted for.
