FATHER SHOOTS SON, HUNTING.
Benedict Sorenson Receives Full Load
Of Buckshot-Dies In Few Hours.

SALEM.-While out hunting with
his father near Stayton, Sunday morn
ing. Benedict Sorenson, the 14-year-
old son of B. P. Sorenson, ran in
front of the gun his father was in the
act OF shooting at duck on the wing
and received the full charge of No. 6
birdshOt in the small of the back, in
fiicting wound of such a serious ma
ture that the boy died six hours later
at the hospital in this city.
The father and son were walking
along the ditch, which carries water
between the Santiam river and this
city. for the furnishing of power. when
Il duck arose from the ditch, and the
father raised his gun to shoot. At this
juncture the son became excited and
ran in front of the gun, just at the
pull of the trigger. The charge of
large as a mans hand, separated the
vertebrate, and penetrated the abdo-
men.
Little or no hope was entertained
for his recovery, but as a last resort
he was brought to this city for an
operation. The accident occurred at
about 10 o'clock in the morning. the
boy arrived at the hospital at 3
clock in the afternoon, and died two
hours later.
SO far as is known. the father. who
is verging upon distraction over the
deed. is not blamed. as it is regarded
IS purely accidental and Coroner
Clough, who now has charge of the
remains of the boy and is in possession
of the facts of the case, said that, I'M
der the circumstances, which were not
m the least discriminating, he did not
think an inquest would be necessary.

HE FINDS SON IN JAIL.
Sad Mission Of North Yakima Man
to Colfax.

COLFAX, Wash, Nov. ia prls-
oner giving the name of ]. ]. Johnson,
who is in the Whitman county jail
awaiting trial for burglary, proves to
be Frank O'Conner of North Yakima
the son of a highly respected citizen
Of that place. Mr.. O'Conner visited
his son in the county jail. The
meeting was pathetic. The aged faith
er. with snow white beard, gazed sor-
rowfully at his son and repeated sew
eral times: This is a pretty place for
you to be, Frank"
The prisoner hung his head in
shamefaced way and said little. When
pressed by his father for an explana-
ton of why he was there the son tolo
of the circumstances connected with
mis- arrest for burglarizing the Land
dale lodging house. He would neither
affirm nor deny his guilt, but stated
repeatedly: Il am charged with burg

hoped out of bed and seized Hennessy
whom he overpOWered and turned over
TO a policeman. He says another man
was in the room, but escaped. The
next day ne identified O'COnnor as the
other man.
By some means Conner managed
to send a letter to his brother, Thomas
O'Connor. This letter reached his
father who came to COlfaX to see his
son. He asked the latter Why he had
not written to him instead of his
brother. Frank replied that he did
not think his father would help him
The elder O'COnnOr expressed a will

piOy an attorney to defend him. 1t IS

They Will Put the Erie Canal Out of
Business Even if 1t is
Rebuilt.


NEW YORK, Nov. lift the Erie
canal is ever rebuilt, the railroads viii
pat it out of business in less than a
year, making it as useless to the
producers as is the present waterway
This statement was made today by
an executive traffic official of one OF
the large railway systems, and was
backed by the general sentiment eX-
pressed in railroad circles.
Another statement of sensa tional
character was to the effect that the
Erie canal improvement never would
be accomplished as the railroads would
find some way of defeating the under
.aking The boast that the railroads
would be able to compete more than
successfully with the rebuilt canal.
capable of floating only 1000 ton barges
is not considered by traffic and trans
pOrtation experts an idle one.
The problem, in any event, will not
have to be met by the railroads for at
east a generation, as it will take that
length of time to complete the i'm
prOvements contemplated by the ex-
penditure of Sol 100000. BY that
time, traffic conditions and the centers
of production may have changed SO
materially, it is thought. that the
problems presented will be entirely diff
'erent from what they would be today
f the canal Improvements We're now
complete.
Back of the traffic experts bold as
ertion lies the fact that the rates now
charged for the transportation OF
grain and grain products, at least, from
chicago to New York and other sea
BOARD ports are far in excess OF those
necessary to a fair profit Tie pres
ant rate on grain by lake and cana
from Chicago to New York is 10 cents
per 100 pounds. and by rail Il cents,
That the railroads could carry the
grain at the 10 cent rate and make a
GOOD profit is we'll known in traffic cir
cles. The Lake Shore and New York
Central route, for example, can easily
haul a train load of grain containing
1000 tons. Such a train load at 10
,ent rate would produce a revenue OF
$4,000 The cost of transporting the
grain including interest on the money
invested is at the outside not more
than $1,000. leaving a net profit of
$4,000 At the present rate of Increase
IN trainIoads and a corresponding
smaller percentage Of increase in ope-
rating expenses, the railroads would
be able to reduce transportation
charges still further, long before the
canal would be completed and could
maintain rates which would make it
impossible. it is claimed. for the slow
moving 1000 ton barges. to compete
with them.
1t is generally recognized by rail-
road men, however, that anything that
reduces the cost of transportation OF
food products to the chief markets will
greatly benefit the producer The real
purpose of the canal is taken by rail-
road men to be primarily to assist
New York in obtaining and maintain
ing a supremacy Of market as against
the other Atlantic and Canadian ports.
The revised vote on the canal prop
osition in greater New York was:
For, 436,23O against $3.50; plurality
in favor Of canal, 3S2,967

His wound is beginning to diminish.
Notwithstanding the favorable bulle-

his physicians as the kaiser is gener-

cautioned him that it will be necessary
for him to husband his strength as too
much excitment might have serious

Chambcrlain'S Cough Remedy,

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma-
from resulting in pneumonia. It is also
a certain cure for Group. Whoopinp
cough is not dangerous when this rem,
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as we'll as at
home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For
