FOUND DEAD AT IONE.
Oliver Pierson Committed Suicide by
Cutting His Throat

Oiiver Pierson Committed Suicide by
Cutting His Throat
Oliver Pierson, pioneer of Morrow
county, was found dead in water
closet in lone back of the lone Hotel at
about o'clock Thursday evening.
He had cut his throat from ear to
ear with small pearl handled pocket
knife and death must have been in
Simultaneous.
The coroner arrived from Heppner
about 9:3O but upon examination of
the body no cause for the deed could
be ascertained. Evidence bore out
the fact that he must have committed
the crime about o'clock and the
body remained there until the cor
oner arrived.
Mr.. Pierson was an old time settler
and favorably known citizen Of Nor
row county, having lived here some
% years. He sold his ranch in the
Gooseberry country several years ago,
and has been in Sweden, his native
country, until his return to this coun-
try few weeks ago.

Hartman Building New Lines and In

Hartman Building New Lines and Inn
proving O1d Ones.
From the innumerable reconnaissance
parties, running levels and following
watercourses that head in the Rocky
ranges, and the network of lines that
i are being located by preliminary work
of engineers who appear in the coun-
try between the Columbia river and
the Bitter Root mountains, the fact
stands out clearly that the Milwaukee,
the Northwestern and possibly the
Burlington, are heading for Portland
--and that the Hartman people are
not exerting themselves to obstruct
the Milwaukee, but are opposed to all
other invaders of the territory they
occupy in the Pacific Northwest, says
the Portland Journal.
It is to entrench their lines in this
territory that the Hartman manage
ment is expanding the magnificent
sum of $24, ,000,00O in Oregon and close
to its borders in construction of new
lines, betterment of old ones and pro-
jecting of new surveys. 1t is said
Chief Engineer G.. w. Boschke has
more miles of active survey and actual
construction now under his direction
than any other railroad engineer in
the country, and that General Man
ager ]. P. O'Brien's official budget for
the "a months ending with December,
1906, is the largest that has been given
any previous general manager of the
Oregon lines.
1t includes construction of the line
from Riparia to Lewiston, the branch
from Drain to Coos bay, the Condor
line, completion Of the Albina shops,
equipment of the entire Oregon system
with oil burning locomotives and erec-
tion Of chain Of oil tanks from Ash
land to Portland and Huntington, con-
struction Of hundred miles more of
block signal on both sides of the Blue
mountains, preparation for construc-
ting of branch to klamath Falls, q
new survey through central Oregon,
planning of a railroad along the water
front in Portland 15 blocks long aud
passing under four drawbridges, pre-
pairing for an extension of the p. q
/. N. over the divide and down the
Salmon river to connection with the
joint line of the Northern Pacific and
o. r. & N, at Grangeville, and in ad-
dition to these large tasks the relaying
of the Southern Pacific to Portland
with heavy steel, reconstruction Of all
bridges in Oregon with steel, con-
struction of many new depots and
short cutoff lines connecting the sys-
tenn in western Oregon.
1t is said the Hartman management
just at this time is watching the Bur
lington with deep suspicion and pre-
pairing to checkmate expected move
ments in Idaho. 1t is reported that
the Milwaukee's plans on the Pacific
coast have forced the Burlington to
come into this territory.

JOINT USE or ROAD
RAILWAYS CANNOT BLOCK EACH
OTHERS PATHWAY.
Speculation Reused as to Who Are
the Real Backers ofthe Seattle
& Portland.

An Olympia, WASH, special says
Coupled with the statement that the
building of two railroads down the
north bank of the Columbia is now
assured, one of the officers of the
Wallula Pacific Company asserts that
it is the present intention of the back
ers of his road to resort to the pro-
visions of what is known as the
canyon" act to secure right of way
along certain portions of the route.
The canyon act, which is found not
only in the Federal statutes, but also
in the laws of the state of Washington
permits one road to condemn and ac-
quire joint use of another railroad
in any pass, canyon or defile where
there is not room for two right of
ways.
The surveys of the Wallula Pacific
and the Seattle q Portland Railway
companies along the north bank Of the
Columbia conflict in many places.
Along some portions OF the route the
location stakes are from mile to two
miles apart, but in other localities the
contour of the country and the noun
tainous character of the shore have
resulted in survey stakes Of the two
roads being driven side by side In
some instances the Seattle q Portland
has apparently obtained the advan-
tage in early requirement of right of
way, and in other instances the rival
road has secured the advantage.
The above assertion, which was
made by an officer of the road who
was seeking state lands for the pur-
poses Of his company, puts the opera
tions Of the Wallula Pacific and the
Columbia Valley Railroad company
in different light than that of
purely "block game"on the part of the
Hartman interests unaccompanied by
bona fide building intentions, and it
again gives rise to speculation as to
whether the real rivals of the Seattle
& Portland is not some railroad system
other than the Union Pacific or Har-
riman lines which now have entrance
to Portland along the south bank of
the river.

Led a Merry Chase.

Constable Johnny Cummins Of Tou-
chet was led merry chase Wednes
day night by several horse thieves
who raided a Touchet pasture and
started with their booty toward the
Oregon line. The men entered pas
ture belonging to Mr.. Donahue and
took two of his horses and one be-
longing to Mr.. Nolting. The con-
stable was notified and started in the
direction the thieves had taken. He
overlook them near the state line and
the thieves, seeing that they could not
evade capture aud keep their booty,
abandoned the horses and escaped
toward Freewater.

Football By Electric Light.

In the first football game ever
played in the west under electric
lights, the st. Vincent's college eleven
of Los Angeles Saturday night over
whelmed the University of Arizona
team by the score of 81 to 0. The
game was played under 80 electric
lights of 1000 candle power. The
light was sufficiently bright to allow
the players to proceed without hin
drance, and at the same time the spec
tators were able to see every play.
The ball was painted white.

Athena's Football Team Will Play a
Return Game in Pendleton
Sunday Afternoon

Saturday was great day for foot
ball. The Yale Bulldogs trounced
the Princeton Tigers; Harvard and
Dortmouth quit at six even; Baker
City won from Pendleton high school
aud Idaho University defeated Whit
man 9 to O.
Athena was we'll in the running,
too. The Athletics came up from
Pendleton. and the second team here
wallowed out the two halves with
them on the Athena grounds.
1t was stunning good game, too,
so it was. The Athena team was COM
posed of tough, wiry article and PEN
dleton had the trial of her life scoring,
and but for the fact that Athena has
not played game before this season,
and several in the lineup We're picked
up on the streets to fill out the team,
zero mark would have been Pendle-
tons showing. The team from the
court house town struggled in with the
weight of six points at the close of the
first half.
In the second half nothing could be
done against Athena, and the score
was tied after hard line bucking. The
team will play Sunday in Pendleton
with the following line up:
A. Wood, center; J. Gooddel, right
guard; J. Gordon, right tackle; @.
Trask, right end; G. Reynolds, left
guard S. Warren, left tackle; D..
Stone, left end; 9. Lane, quarter; W..
Fortier, left half; A. Gooddel, full
back; H. Lieuallen. right half; sub
stitutes, A. Moore, @. Stone.

Diamonds at Seaside

During the past week there has been
intense excitement on the Necanicun
river near the town of Seaside. The
secret of it all lies in the fact that an
ochre mine. which is being developed,
has been yielding precious stones.
Diamonds and rubies are said to be
in evidence and a number of people
have located claims. The oohre is OF
fine quality and plenty of the best fire
clay ever discovered is there, but when
precious stones were discovered the
excitement reached fever heat and
people were going from Portland to be
guided to the diamond fields.

UNJUST TAX. SAYS o. R. & N.
claim rha, Portland Property Get. Q

! Claim That Portland Property Gets on
Easy.
Not ten per cent of the personal
property of Multnomah county is on
the assessment roll
1.-THE total for notes and accounts
on the roll is approximately $9,000,-
900, and the statements of the nation
al banks alone in Portland show that
they have more money than that sub
ject to the checks of individuals.
'sThe county records show that
there are $11,OOO,O0O of mortgaged
S curities in Multnomah not taxed at
all. I"
These were some of the claims made
by J. w. Morrow. tax and right of
way agent of the o. r. q NJ. before
the Multnomah county court, sitting
to pass upon the claims presented to
the board of equalization. 'The as
sessed valuation of the railroads has
been increasing year by year, and in
much greater proportion than that
of anything else, he told the mem
bers of the court.
Let us notice how some other
values have increased. In 1891 the
total valuation of notes and accounts
was about 100000 600. This year it
is only $9,OOO,O 900. Do you suppose
for an instant that is a proportional
increase?
"The rolls show that the total assess
ment for merchandise and stock in
trade is 1900, 900, | am positive
that can take 20 firms in Port
land whose aggregate of actual stock
will equal that amount"
Jay Sedgwick, tax agent Of the
Northern Pacific, addressed the board
on behalf of that road and showed
how he considered the roads's assess
ment excessive. The rate of $17, 900
per mile for track and right of way,
he said, he considered too high.
