As all the gun foundries Of Europe
continue to work night and day, the
peace tribunal at The Hague may as
well turn off the gas, put up the shut
tiers and post the usual notice on the
door announcing an indefinite suspen-
sion Of business. A peace tribunal is
all right when no war is going on but
it Is not even ornamental as soon as
the shooting begins.

day night while the horse was en-
route from Walla Walla to the state
fair at Yakima, where he was entered
in the races to be held at that point
this week, says the Walla Walla
Statesman. Edgar Bay is now at

CATCH ON AT UKIAH."

Northern Pacific Plans to Build In This
county.
The Pendleton Tribune says it has
received advices from Northern Pacl
fic officials to the effect that branch
line is to be built in Umatilla county,
which will connect with the new
road now being built down the north
bank of the Columbia river. A
prominent citizen, who does not de-
sire his name mentioned at this time,
stated that he had seen the maps
and plots of the proposed line in the
Office of the Northern Pacific few
days ago. He added that the com
pany actually means business in build
ing the feeder and that formation of
plans is now under way in earnest.
The proposed line is to be built in
two directions from Pendleton, one
leading south along Birch creek to
Camas Prairie, and the other tapping
the w. q @. r. at Warren and lead
ing off through the Middle Cold
Spring country to Cold Spring station
on the Columbia river. This project
has been contemplated for some time
and, though the railroad officials are
not ready as yet to make formal an
nouncement of the new feeder, it is
known that the new line will be Con-
structed within the next five years.
Work of preparing the plots for the
line covering the entire territory men
toned is now in progress and 1t is ex-
pected that engineering parties will
be in the field in the near future
Ukiah is to be the terminus OF the
new feeder and already people are
looking to the Camas Prairie town as
a coming city Of the interior. The
company will be able to draw business
from many miles into southern and
central Oregon, which will consist
chiefly Of sheep and cattle shipping.
The country, it is maintained, will
be devoted more extensively to farm
ing after the road is built as the
products will be brought close to a
market by means of the proposed feed
er.
The line extending from Warren
station to Gold Spring station, on the
other land, will tap rich wheat
producing country and the company
will be able to control the shipping
of wheat in the northwest part of
Umatilla county.

The Williams Juvenile Opera COM
pany, which comes to the Athena
opera house next Monday and Tuesday
nights, is pleasing Pendleton theatre
goers. The Tribune says: The Sec
ond performance of the engagement,
in fact, was even moro successful
than the first, il such thing could
be possible. The music was good, the
comedy bright and refreshingly new,
and the little players themselves in
the best of trim. Each and every
number of the diminutive troop de
serves great credit for the manner in
which the most difficult of roles is
produced and bright future awaits
them when they enter the ranks of
the older members of the theatrical
profession.

FULTON TO TESTIFY
SENATOR A WITNESS IN THE
LAND FRAUD CASES.
Old Soldiers Were Employed By
Land Fraud Defendants
to Take Up Claims.

While the developments in the
latest land fraud case thus far have
not been sensational, there is promise
of interesting disclosures to come.
Senator G. w. Fulton is on his way
from Washington to take the stand,
having been called as witness by
the government. He will be asked to
explain the circumstances under
which he interested himself in secur-
ing the Jones' Potter claims after they
had been posted by the land depart
ment for cancellation ON the ground
of fraud.
District Attorney Heney wired Sen
ator Fulton last Sunday that his testi-
mony would be required and the sena-
tor replied that although it was ex-
tremely announcement for him to re-
turn SO soon he would do so at the
earliest possible moment.
He cannot arrive in time to testify
before Monday, so it is evident that
the case will not be concluded this
week, as was originally expected.
The contention of the prosecution is
that Jones and Potter conceived the
idea of securing large tracts of the
valuable timber land in the Siletz re-
serve by procuring soldiers widows
and old soldiers to take up claims,
which were to be conveyed to the de-
PENDANTS or persons to whom they sold
as soon as patents were issued. Sol
diers widows proved hard to find,
SO John L. Wells, an insurance man
and himself an old soldier, was hired
to procure veterans who would make
the desired entries.
Personally conducted excursions of
old soldiers to the Siletz Indian re-
serve for the purpose of taking home
stead claims has been the theme of the
testimony in the land fraud case on
trial in the federal court. Four times
the veterans were escorted to the re-
serve by Thaddeus S. Potter and John
l.. Wells, the latter the agent chosen
by the defendants Potter and w. N.
Jones to round up his comrades of the
g. A. r. and get them to take up
claims.
The residence of the entrymen on
the homestead claims appears to have
been the briefest. Wells testified that
in two years time he spent only four
nights on his own claim, yet he made
final proof at the Oregon City land
office, swearing that he had made the

Fifteen Year Old Boy Held Up and Shot
Hillsboro Man.
Sydney Brugger, an overgrown Is
year old degenerate, on the main street
of Hillsboro shot and killed William
w. Booth, veteran of the civil war
and business man of Hillsboro. The
boy does not seem vicious, and has no
conception of the wrong he has COM
mitted. Realizing his mental weak
ness the public is dealing leniently
with him.
\ The murdered man was about SO
years old and native of Illinois. He
came to Oregon four years ago from
Beatrice, Neb., where he was employ
ed as ianitor Of the high school. He
has wife and two daughters residing
in HillsboIo and brother at Salem.
Young Brugger is a son of John
Brugger, worthless character, and
Mrs. Verde Brugger Bues, the latter
having resided at Lents until few
months ago. He is a grandson Of

gagged in the sawmill business east Of

Three Boats in All Will Be Used as
Freight Carriers Above Celiio.
Information received is to the effect
that the Mountain Gem will be
brought from Rlparia to Wallula, and
put in regular service between Wal
lula and Cello. With rise of ten
inches in the water Of the river the
boat can come down to its new run,
and that will be within very few
day. Trips will be made in each
direction every other day and the
boat will be able to handle $50 tons
of freight in each direction.
This is important news to farmers
along the river who have been doubt
full about the advisabiiity of hauling
grain to the landings lest transporta
ton would not be provided, especially
those of the Horse Heaven country OPP
posite Umatilla Joseph N. Teal, at
torney for the Open River Associa-
ton, received advice that regular
freight agent would be appointed in
few days also and that complete
tariffs were being worked out SO that
rates for all points could be announc-
ed very soon. The Columbia is now
operating as far as Arlington from
Cello, making one trip daily. Last
reports from the jerome, recently
sunk, is that the boat can be raised
and can be replaced in service,
which, il accomplished, will place
three boats in regular service on the
upper stretches OF the streams.

actual and continuous residence re-
quired by law, and similar affidavits
were made by the other homesteaders.
According to Wells testimony he
was given instructions by Potter asssto
the answers to be made in making the
final proofs and Wells in turn was to
coach his comrades. Judge William
Galloway, now on the state circuit
bench of the third district, was re-
ceiver Of the Oregon City land Office
when the proofs were made and por-
tions of the testimony placed him in
an unpleasant light, as Wells testified
that he understood that Galloway was
aware that the residence of the entry
men had not been such as is required
by the homestead law.

The Pendleton hog market has be-

and several sales have been reported
by farmers, says the Tribune. While
the majority of the hogs have been
purchased by local butchers, several
shipments have been made to the
Portland market. Present prices
range from IA to 1-2 cents per
pound. Yesterday several wagon
loads of fat hogs were brought TO the
city and disposed Of to local butchers.

ohter places they are of very in

and few days will see the last of
the good local pears. The small
winter variety is still to be placed on
the market and these will have to
take the place of the larger ones that
have been on sale here. Peaches still
stay on the market, but the supply is
getting less every day. A few fine
plums are on sale but they will not
last much longer.

CHARTERS FOkCRAIN
SAILING VESSELS ARE NEEDED
FOR SERVICE.
Enormous Shipment to California This
Month May Reach a Mil
lion Bushels.

To'assist in taking care of the enor-
nous grain shipments which will be
made to California this month, the
Portland Journal says, the San Fran
CISCO & Portland Steamship company
has chartered the steamer Homer for
one trip. She is now at San Francis
co, but is expected to sail for the
north the latter part of the week.
She is capable of handling about 500
tons of wheat.
The same company also chartered
the steamers Redondo and Aurelia
few days ago to transport grain to
California ports. The Aurelia has
arrived at Portland and as soon as the
freight which she brought from the
south has been discharged she will
begin loading for the outward trip.
The Redondo, will reach Portland
from the Bay City the first of next
week. All three of these craft will
take out about 5000 tons, equivalent
to 10000 bushels.
In addition to these the Columbia
and st. Paul will take out part car
goes of grain, as will all of the other
steamers belonging to the various
lines which are in regular commits
sion between Portland and California
ports. The representatives of the
water transportation lines say that all
records will be broken this month in
the matter of wheat shipments from
the Portland port to points down the
coast. trifle more than 100000
bushels were shipped last month, but
it is thought that the amount will be
almost double in October
The American ship Berlin is COM
pleting cargo for San Francisco,
which will approximate 100, 900 bush
els of the cereal. 1t is the first time
in many years that a sailing vessel has
been pressed into service to carry
grain down the coast. As the con-
signees are anxious to get the grain
as quickly as possible there is some
talk that she will be towed to the Bay
City. Negotiations are under way for
other sailing vessels for the trade,
as it IL almost impossible to secure ad-
ditional steam tonnage.
