Mining Mans Opinion OF Corpora
ton Tax and Portage Railway.

Mr.. W. @. Cowgirl, of Baker City,
interested in the mining business and
city editor Of the Morning Democrat,
while in the city today on business.
was questioned by the Courier as to
the position Of the mining men ON the
petition of referendum on the corpora
tion tax and portage railway bills
passed at the last legislature. In re-
ply Mr.. Cowgirl said:
Those of us who have examined this
matter believe that the state is not
justified in imposing an extraordinary
capital stock tax ON all mining compa-
nies, incorporated cattle, mercantile
and real estate firms for the mere priv
ilege of having name, and then in the
face Of a $500, 900 appropriation for the
Lewis d Clark fair, turn around and
throw $l65, 900 squeezed out of tho
companies endeavoring to develop the
resources of the state into portage
railroad at The Dalles which will re-
quire $500, 900 to build, equip and put
into operation, and which the promot-
ers admit Is only a temporary mako
shift, and which will take three more
legislatures to complete, when by that
time the federal government will have
finished the canal and locks at that
point already commenced, and which

KILLED BY SMOKE STACK
T. A. Hood Loses His Life at

On Monday, soon after the noon
hour, the distressing news was circu-
lated that T. \. Hood had been killed
at the factory of Williams Bros. &
Kendall, where he was employed,
while assisting in raising the smoke
stack at the boiler room.
The big smoke stack was being
raised by meanss Of derrick, block
and tackle and windlass, with a chain
around the middle. 1t was being
raised almost horizontally, so that the
end might be swung into place when
/ the proper height was reached. Five
men were at the windlass and three,
[ Jack Williams, Jas. Kendall and Tom
Hood, were standing about 20 feet to
one side Of the boiler room, all three
pulling on the same chain. The stack
| had been raised to the required height
and Jack Williams started to take hold
/ Of guy rope to swing the end into
place, while Kendall and Hood stood
side by side, pulling on the chain,
Several men We're ON top of the boiler
room and some Of them were almost

/ that instant the chain broke and the
stack fell horizontally William,
shouted a warning and the men Oh

/ Kendall jumped to one side. The
stack came down on the boiler room,
striking almost fiat, one end of il
! breaking off when it struck the build

jumped endways, striking Hood il
the head with the upper edge. As he
seems to have made no movement tC
get out OF the way, it is likely that
/ he considered himself ont of reach Of
danger, as Die would really have beer
only for the forward jump of the
smoke stack. He was struck just
above the forehead, the downward

piece of the skull. He was taker
