evening, and her twenty-year-old lover.

The couple parted after a short walk,
and on her way home the girl met George
Lotter. a friend. and stopped to chat.
Schroll soon approached and loaded a re-
volver in front of them.
While handling it in an apparently
careless manner it was discharged, and
while Schroll says it was accidental. Lot
ters declares it was Intentional. Before
being removed to a hospital the victim
told Lotter that Schroll was jealous and
had several times threatened to shoot
her.

ured in Old Asphalt Scandal.

Minister Herbert Bowen, representing
the United States in Venezuela, has been
called upon by the State Department to

asphalt troubles he has acted unwarrant-
ably in favor of the New York and Ber-

We present today a photograph
and biography of s. M. Jeffreys, one
of the early Pioneers of Oregon and
Idaho. The photograph was taken
some years ago when Mr. Jeffreys
was in his prime.
Following is his description of his
trip from Missouri to the west:
Mr. Editorial your request l
furnish the following:
| was born in Jackson county,
Mo-, Feb. IL, 1885. Emigrated
from Missouri with my parents in
1845 and came across the plains
with OK and mule teams which oc-
cupied about nine months in ac-
complishing the journey. There
were about sixty wagons and about
two hundred people in the company
Our captains name was Scott and
our pilots, Preston.
We were the third emigrants, /
believe that crossed the plains with
wagons. / remember very distinctly
that we had to break down the sage
brush in places.
The first habitation we found or
the western slope was at The Dalles.
There was small Methodist mission
established there in charge of mar
by the name of Spalding. 1t had
cheerful appearance after our Ions
Journey on the plains.
We sent our stock across the Gas
cade Mountains over what is knowr
as the Barlow route, from that point
and the families embarked in canoes
and Hudson Bay batteaus, and SOM
provided RATS to go down the Co
lumbia. We made the portage
around the Cascades on foot, abou
six miles and hired Indians to pacl
our baggage and supplies. w
landed at place, called Linton, fou
or five miles below where the city o
, Portland now stands.
We settled in Yamhill county
, where my father located section o
land under the donation law and
, am still owner of portion of tn

ed the property from Al Donart, and
others, who were interested in them,
and will develop them.
This sale means much for the
Heath district, as il will be the
means of opening up some OF the
properties, of that promising section,
and proving what has been claimed
for several years, that with develop
ment it will prove to be one OF the
best mineral districts in the state.
The development of the mines OF the
Heath district is particularly crafty
ing to the people of Weiser as by
reason of its proximity to this city
as the trade of the district is tribu-
tary to it.

The question of tariff reform is being
made an issue in the Massachusetts
campaign. Nearly all the Democratic
candidates for congress have come out
squarely in favor of lower tariff. Alex
ander B. Bruce, the Democratic candi-
date in the Fifth district says that he
wants free beef, free coal. free bread
stuffs, and free produce of all kinds.
and favors the reduction of the tariff
on trust-made articles. William S. Nc
Nary, candidate in the Tenth district.
takes the same ground, while Samuel
Roads, Jr., and John A. Sullivan, of the
Sixth and Eleventh districts, respec-
lively. pledge themselves to vote for
any proposition that will abolish the
tariff on trust-made goods. Represent
tative Conry, who is candidate for re-
election, goes further, and says that he
favors the government ownership of
coal, believing that it should be deliv
cred to the kitchen exactly as water is
furnished at the cost OF transportation
and actual operating expenses: Most
of the Republican candidates for con-
gress are non-committal on the tariff
and trusts, protesting willingness to
follow the president.

varsity.
A case of love that has survived such
poor cooking that for six months it has
lived on canned goods, is exciting the
wonder of the women.

where the baby got its faults.
