TO Prosecute SWindlers.

Salem, Or. Dec. 14.-Hiram Goddard,
the Lacrosse, Wis, capitalist, who was
swindled out of large sums of money by
Horace &. Mckinley, the land operator,
is coming to Oregon to aid in the cap
ture and prosecution of all who had a
part in the deal. Recently man who
was in some way connected with the
transactions was arrested in Seattle,
and the Sheriff telegraphed Goddard for
instructions. Goddard replied that the
arrest was made at the instance of Ore
gon authorities. Since the crime com
mitted was not against the State of Ore
gon, nor any of its citizens, nor even
within the state, this repy indicated
pispostIon on the part of Goddard not
to take an active part in the prosecu
ton.
In order that there might be no mis-.
understanding, Governor Chamberlain
wired Mr.. Goddard that the state au-
thorites will lend all possible assistance
in furnishing evidence and locating the
but unless the parties who
were swindled wish to prosecute the
forgers, the matter will be dropped.
State Land Agent West telegraphed
assurances of his readiness 10 assist. |
In response to these kilograms, God /

yon.
The most difficult task will probably
1e to find the men who planned and ex-
,cuted the swin1le, for. if once found
md arrested. the evidence seems strong
Igainst them.

TRAIN HOLD UP.
Il WO Masked Men Crack safes an
Escape with Booty.

2 80 O'Clock P. NJ, but running almos
five hours late, was held up at Hillside

of this place, at 7 10 this evening. Th'
express car was dynamited, two safet
blown open and all contents OF value
taken.
When the train neared the siding 6
red lantern was seen by the engineer
ahead. It was swung across the track
and Engineer Howe slowed oown his
train. Before it came to a standstill two
men climbed into the cab and COM
manded the engineer and fireman to
stop. They were then commanded to
go bach and uncouple the mail and ex-
press car, which they did.
All four men then climbed into the
cab OF the engine and the engineer was
directed to 60 slowly up the road. At
a point half a mile beyond, he was di
rected to stop. The robbers then took
the fireman and engineer back to the
express car. One of the robbers
shouted for the messenger, whom he
supposed to be inside, to open the door
or they would blow the car to pieces.
When no answer came, he shouted
again. Still there was no answer, for
the expressman was in the dining car.
A stick of dynamite was placed under
one door. When it exploded, one side
Of the car was partly blown open. An
other stick was used, and almost the
whole top OF the car was blown open.
Leaving one man in charge OF the engi-
neer and fireman, the robbers entered
the car. A stick of dynamite was
placed under one safe. 1t exploded !
and blew the safe almost to pieces. |
The other safe was also blown open.
The robber took out all the papers in
both safes and, sorting out the yalu-
ables. he placed them in sack and left
the car. The engineer and fireman
we're commanded to enter the cab OF
he engine and return to the train,
which they did. The robbers then dis
appeared into the darkness.
The engineer took the train to Roza,
% miles beyond, and sent word to this
olace and to Ellensburg, A posse in

"NEW OREGON.v
Railway Building Marks a New
Era In the state.

The new Oregon is at hand.
In the annual report of the subcom
mttee of the transportation COMMITTEES
OF the Portland Chamber of Commerce
submitted yesterday, there is q trium
phant note. No longer is this body O
men compelled to enumerate long lists
of railroads that ought to be bHilt to un.
developed sections of the state, but on
the other hand the bulk of the carefully
prepared document is devoted to tabu-
Iating the vast number OF railroad pro-
jects that are now under way in the
state.
"In the next two years." says the re-
port in jubilant peroration, "within
the bo' ders of this state or Immediately
contiguous thereto, millions of dollars
will be spent in the building OF rail-
roads, which in itself will give employ
ment to many people, put large
amount OF money in circulation, open
up new torritory for settlement and
trade and make new conditions, or, to
sum it up, create new Oregon. with
all that it implies"
While the members of this commit
tee, Messrs. L. A. Lewis, Henry Hahn,
A. H. Devers, S. NJ. Mears, 7. D.
Honeyman and Edward Newbegin. and
J. N. Teal, attorney for the committee,
s-e elated oyer the fact that Portland is
on the railroad map, the fact that the
city has serious needs is uot overlooked.
The importance of completing the jetty
at the mouth OF the Columbia River, of
opening the Upper Columbia River to
navigation, of giving liberal support to
the steamboat line on the Upper Colum.
bia, Of inducing the o. R. & N. Co. to
lower it's towage charges from Portland
to the sea, and increasing it's facilities
for handling Oriental and coastwise
freight, OF placing steamers on the
Alaska run so that Portland may get {
h., e l.
growing to enora GUS proportions, is en-
in no Uncertain fashion.

Mitchell Left No Will.

John II. Mitchell, Jr., has been un.
able to find any will left by his father,
the late United States Senator John II.
Nit hell. Mr., Mitchell has been busy
light and day since the funeral going
through Senator Mitchell's papers a, his
office in the Columbia building, but has
not yet completed the search.
Senator Mitchell was q nethodical
man, but his office methods were those
of years ago. His bankers say that he
was exact and prompt, and it is seen
from his office records that he was most
careful in attending to business Tor
others. His desk is filled with the &C.
cumulations of years past and there are
several boxes and trunks that have not
vet been touched.
So far as known Senator Mitchell
owned only s. 900 equity in encum-
bered realty in Holladay's addition.
His interest was valued at s., 800, and
there is a $500 mortgage on it.
In the past year 500 or $4,000 OF
'ealty was sold for Senator Mitchell by
:. X. Henry as agent and practically
very dollar of the money received
herefrom went TO pay debts.

GUIDE TO ALL ELECTIONS.
Prepared BY the Oregon Secretary
of State.

Salem. Or, Dec. 16.-The adoption oi
the direct-prmary law has given Ore.
gon such complicated system of elec-
tions that not even the ACCOMPLISHED
politician can carry in his mind all the
details of the proceedings leading up to
the general election Of state, district and
county officers. One of the most diff
cult things to ascertain and remember
Is the dates upon which the various
steps in the nomination and election o.
officers must be taken. In fact, the
ordinary citizen cannot figure out the
dates ifhe has the statute before him,
for the language varies and different
methods of computing time must be
adopted.
AT the request of The Oregonian, Sec
-etary of State Dunbar and Attorney.
General Crawford have examined the
election laws and computed the time
within which petitions must be filed,
notices given and other business con-
Quoted in preparation for the election.
1t will be seen that the campaign of
1906 really begins during the last week
in December of this year, when innia-
tive petitions must be filed if the pro-
moters desire to file pamphlets in sup
port OF the proposed measures. The
pamphlets must be brought to the Of
flee of Secretary of State Dunbar by De-
cember so. ii the promoters of meas
ures do not desire to file pamphlets,
thew will have until February to file
petitions.
1t should also be explained that peti-
lions for nominations for district offices,
'uch as Circuit Judge, District Attorney,
oint Senator and joint Representative,
must be filed in the office of the Secre-
AIRY OF State, and not in the offices of
County Clerks, and the dates governing
for sta te offices are apeli-
,abla. The following list contains all
he dates of interest to the voter and
he candidate for office:

are now in stock, but have not as yet

OF the new central energy system
When this service is in working or
der It will do away with all dry bat
teries in the telephones, the electrici-
ty being furnished from the central
station. To make the change 1t will
be necessary to install complete
new set of telephones and new switch
boards at the central station.
The work may be started in the
near future or not for year. The
whole matter is now In the hands OF
the engineer, and after his plans are
completed the work will commence
With the new system in use the ex-
pense of operation will be materially
reduced, as the necessity for dry bat
