was found. clad only in her undergar.
ments. and by her side was the wo-
mans 2 year old son. the baby's
clothes being saturated with its

that the child was dead. but when an

CAR AND LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.
Over 10000 Cars Built In tso3-ovsr
5000 Engines.

The Railroad Gazette gives tho fol.
lowing statistics of car and locomotive
building during the last year:
Official returns from practically all
the car building plants In the country
show that 154.S0S cars have been built
during the year 1908. OF this total
figure approximately 152.s0I are
freight cars and 2007 passenger
coaches: 153,195 for domestic and 1913
for export. Last year the total mum.
ber Of cars built was 1e4.6l7.
During the year 6152 locomotives
were built at the various works in
the country as against 1910 last year.
The number includes 50 electric loco
motives. The increase over 1908 10
the largest Of any one year. and posi-.
bly, is due to the fact that the loco.
motive works Of the country had such
a volume Of orders placed during 1909
that they were unable to make imme-
diate deliveries. and many Of the or.
ders were held over till 1908. At an
average cost Of the locomotives Of
$4,000. the total amount spent By
the railroads for motive power would
be approximately $4,000. 900. This
figure does not include tho locomo-
tives which were built yearly By the
railroad companies at their own shops.

elers' Protective association took
place in Portland recently. with about
200 members in attendance. c. w.
Ransom was elected president.
It has been demonstrated at La
Grande this year. as 1t has been at
Waverly. that 1t pays to raise sugar
beets. The Oregon factory has had
a good season. and the farmers who
have supplied 1t with raw material
have realized handsome profits.

were relieved OF amounts ranging from

two the robbers secured nothing.

Shots With Thugs.
McAlister, /. T., Dec. "a gang of
Ave bank robbers looted the bank In
Kiowa, q small town Is miles north of
here at 3 o'clock q. m. and escaped
after several hundred shots had been
exchanged between the robbers and a
posse of SO citizens Of Kiowa. The
robbers dynamited the safe and Sc.
cured $4,000 in cash. some of which
is believed to have been mutilated
by the explosion. The bank building
was partially wrecked, the damage be.
in about $500.
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use of crowbars through a rear
window. While two Of the men did
the work Of blowing the safe, three
stayed outside as guards. The first
explosion was q failure. making loud
report. but doing little damage. The
citizens heard the noise. and arming
themselves with revolvers and shot
guns. hurried to the bank. At the
command Of a leader Of the posse. a
volley was fired at the robbers. who
were visible through the shutters. The
fire was returned by the guards Sc
creted on the outside. While the two
men on the inside worked the three
men on the outside kept up a steady
fire with the posse Of citizens.
1t took three explosions to open the
safe. After the last explosion the bur
glars gathered up their tools and. leav-
ing through the front Of the bank. got
away in the dark. The posse followed
the gang for a distance, but lost the
trail. Some of the citizens believed
one robber was injured. Not one Of
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the robbers fire
by stockpens In the rear Of the bank
building.
A posse of United states marshals
is in pursuit, with little chance Of i'm.
mediate results, as the men had sew.

ator smoot q Factor.
Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 2S.-Virtually
bankrupt few years ago. the Nor.
mon church has prospered until now
II has again become rich. Announce
ment has been made that ON January
2 the Church Of Jesus Christ, the Lat.
ter Day Saints. will pay of bonded
Indebtedness Of half a million dollars.
in addition to $4,000 interest on the
bonds for the last six months of their
outstanding.
In addition to this large outlay the
church is preparing to use a large
sum In waging one OF the most deter
mined fights 1t has ever undertaken.
That is the defense of Senator-elect
Reed Smoot. who. it is declared. must
be seated at any cost. The church
leaders believe that the Smoot case
will furnish the great test whether or
not the hierarchy of the Mormons can
hope to participate actively in pol
itics.
Behind the election Of Smoot to the
United States was plan far reaching
in its scope and ambitious in design.
only hints OF which have leaked out
from the quorum of the twelve apos-
ties" and the first presidency" 1t
is known, however, to pertain to po-
litical aggrandizement and general ex-
tension Of the influence Of the saints.
The bonds that will be redeemed
within few days are relics Of more
than five years ago. In defending the
numerous prosecutions for polygamy
brought under the Edmunds-Tucker
act, and in other troubles. such as the
government confiscation of church
property. the treasury OF the saints
was badly depleted. Although these
funds were subsequently returned con-
ditionally, an immense loss occurred
In the interim. The church was heav.
lily in debt and money was borrowed
at a high rate Of interest.
Money From Tithes.
Lorenzo Snow, at that time presi'
dent Of the church, an able fnancier,
succeeded in refunding the debt on q
6 per cent basis. That was hve years
ago. Since that time the Mormons
have accumulated wealth, partly from
the tithing system. which obliges ev'
cry member to give one tenth Of bis
gross income to the church. and part
ly through the prosperity caused BY
the influx of gentiles into Utah.
