TAYLOR is TRUSTEE
WADE ESTATE WILL PAY 10
CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
Claims Filed and Allowed By the
Referee Amounted to the Sum
of $152,414.34.

Pendleton, March 10.-The creditors
and the representatives of the creditors
Of the estate of G. B. Wade met in the
Office of Thomas Fitz Gerald, the referee
in bankruptcy, land elected T. @. Taylor
trustee of the estate and fixed his bonds
at $4,000.
The claims filed and allowed by the
referee amounted to the sum of $780,
414.34, while there were three claims
amounting to $4,000 in round numbers,
which were held up for time, pending
examination by the referee.
The proven assets of the estate are
noted in the Dixie ranch, valued at
$4,000; the Foster ranch, at $4,000; and
personal property consisting Of Col
conda, Red Boy and South Pole mining
stock, and other stocks not so well fixed
in the market, valued at 100000 There
is other personal property listed at
about $4,000.
However, the faith of the creditors in
the valuation of the assets is shown
better by the bond asked of the trustee,
which is placed at about what is thought
will pass through his hands. 1t is
thought that the property will pay, after
all the expenses of administration are
settled, about 10 cents on the dollar,

who are supposed to know, to be purely
guesswork, and not at all reliable.
Some persons are not very hopeful OF
getting that amount out of the muddle.
The estate is now in the hands OF the
trustee, who will wind up the affairs
with no more meetings unless such
things arise in the transaction of the
business as will require it.

MILTON VS.. FREEWATER.
An Ear Chewed on and Preacher
Whips Harnes smaker.

An Eaf Chewed On and Preacher
Whips Harnes smaker.
Spring fights have arrived on schedule
time in Freewater and Milton. In q
bar-room fight at Freewater Monday
night Arthur Wright chewed off a part
of Chas. Ingle's ear, and is now in the
county jail on the charge of mayhem, in
default of $3.50 bonds. Freewater is
strenuous, il anything, and Milton, just
to keep stride with the little "booze"
burg at the north Of her city limits, not
to be outdone even when it comes to
scrapping, essays to set the pace.
1t is reported that Milton offsets the
novelty of Freewater's ear-chewing con-
test, by furnishing minister as one OF
the principals in her first spring fight.
Rev. Mr.. Cartwright and Otis Ingle, a
harnessmaker, became involved and fur
nished the Milton diversion, It is said
the preacher licked his man and headed
off after-trouble by paying two fines,
! one to the city recorder and one to the
justice of the peace, thereby relieving
Mr.. Ingle Of the pleasure Of having ar
arrest made by warrant. There is con
siderable excitement over the affair, ani
it is reported that Rev. Cartwright hal
rendered his resignation as pastor.

the baneful effect of coffee and the
way to be rid of 1t.

LUMBERMEN TO ESTABLISH
PROTECTIVE BUREAU
For Mutual Protection and to Collect Claims
Against Railroads

Washington, March Sat to-day's
meeting of the National Wholesale
Lumber Dealers Association a resolu-
tion was adopted to establish a trans
portation bureau for the protection of
the members and the collection of
claims against the railroads.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
unqualified disapproval of the eight
hour bill and the so-called anti-in-
junction bill now being considered by
Congress.
These officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Louis C. Slade, Saginaw, Mich;
vice president, Lewis Dill, Baltimore;
treasurer, E. c. Perry, New York.
Tonight the annual banquet of the
association was held, at which the
principal speech was made by Secre-
tary Cortelyou of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor.
There is a class of problems arising
from the external relations of the lum-
Der business, said Secretary Cortelyou,
in the solution of which the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has
more or less direct interest.
Possibly one of the best things that
can be done for the lumber interests
is to look at these relations in this
comprehensive way The central fact
to keep in view is this: That in spite
of the rapid rate at which our forests
have been diminishing for the last three
decades, the national lumber supply is
still in such state as to constitute one
of the several fundamental elements of
our commercial superiority over COM
peting nations in the worlds markets.
LAUNDERING still ranks fourth among
our great industries. We have as yet
decided advantage over other ma
tions in our coal supply, in our iron
ore resources, and in our forests. More
and more, however, does the competi-
tive capacity of modern nations re-
solve itself, not so much into a ques-
tion of wages and profits as into this
very fact of comparative advantages
in natural resources.
"Hence the problem of problems in
creasingly tends to become, how to
conserve the existing stores of natural
resources in such way as to supply
present demands without impairing the
foundations Of our economic position.
"In business as in physics the gov

erning law Is the conservation of en-
ergy. One can hardly do a better serv-
ice to the lumber interests of this coun-
try than to restate this question in
such a way as to appeal to tine keen
commercial intelligence represented in
your association.
IF, upon reviewing the question, you
come to the conclusion that the facts
at your command are inadequate, and
that well-defined inquiries should be
made, a proposition to that effect from
your association or any representa-
tive body of lumbermen will have the
Departments fullest consideration
Such an inquiry was made by the Bu-
reau of Statistics at the suggestion
of the American Warehousemen's AS
sociat ation into the present status and
business relations of their industry
The inadequacy of transportation
facilities has been a standing COM
plant among lunberInen. in nearly all
parts of the country, engendering much
friction between transportation inter-
ests on the one hand and shippers and
receivers of lumber on the other. Such
questions can usually be settled right
ly only by having light on the sub
ject, and an impartial inquiry into the
conditions would no doubt go far to-
ward an improvement. Unsatisfactory
commercial conditions should not be
left to remedy themselves when pub
lie inquiry might facilitate the sub
stitution of better methods.
"The administrative agencies of our
government are at the service of the
people. You have already. done much
on your own account. Among the COM
mendable services is that of stand
ardizing the grades of lumber, there
by reducing the risks and lowering
the cost of handling the commodity
between producer and consumer.
Americans excel in standardizing their
products, and mo small part of our
success abroad has come from this
one thing.
One fact that 1 am glad has come
to the minds of the lumbermen. not
only upon the Pacific coast. but else
where, is that the timber supply is
not inexhaustible. and. to use the Ian
guage of a writer on this subject,
Instead of the extravagant methods of
the past, constant study of economy in
logging and manufacturing methods is
in vogue Improved methods will pro-
long the life of your great industry"

INSANE SOLDIER
USED HIS PISTOL
HE WOUNDED TWO MEN.
GEN. CHAFFEE HAD HAND IN
OVERPOWERING HIM.

william j. O'Brten, AIias William
Duffy, who Had Been Discharged
from the Army, Entered the War
Department Building without
warming He Drew His Revolver
and Opened Fire-Over-POwerin
and DisarmiDE Him no Easy Task.
Washington, March 3.-Armed with a
3S-calibre revolver, William ]. O'Brlen,
alias William Duffy, an insane dis
charged soldier, to-day entered the War
Department and going to room 227
in the mail and record division, shot
Robert j. Manning. a messenger, and
Arthur Wicker, a clerk.
Miss Emma Saxton, another clerk,
barely escaped being shot through the
head.
The injury to Manning is in the
right side just above the kidneys and
is regarded as dangerous. Wicker
was shot in the left arm, above the
elbow.
Before the maniac could fire third
time he was overpowered by James ].
Dawson, a messenger. 1t required the
combined strength of half dozen men
to finally subdue the man. Prominent
among them was Lieut.. Gen. Adna II.
Chaffee, chief of staff.
The lunatic still held the smoking
weapon in his hand, when Cen. Chaffee
noticed it, and with his left hand on
the mans throat. took the weapon
from him and also the papers in mis-
pocket.
Majors Kean and Ireland of the
surgeon generals staff were hastily
sent for, and gave first aid to the in
jured men before they were taken to
the Emergency Hospital.
O'Brien, or Duffy, in talking to
Charles Brandt, the chief of the di-
vision, expressed dissatisfaction with
his discharge papers. Then, without
a word of warning, he drew his pistol
from his pocket and aimed it directly
at Brandt's head. Brandt ducked, and
the bullet entered the arm Of Wicker.
He then turned the weapon on Miss
Saxton and fired. She, too, lodged
and the bullet struck Manning.
O'Brien was taken to the police sta
ton, it requiring four men to get him
out of the building.
o'Brien was admitted to st. Eliza
beth's Asylum in 1893. He later was
paroled, but was returned in 1897 He
served in the Sixth Cavalry and Third
Artillery.
