MINER is DEAD WHO WAS SHOT.
His Friends Organize to Make Trou-
BILE for Maddern.

Baker City. Jan. 24.-William
Thorne, the Bourne miner who was
shot in a saloon at that place on Fri
day night. died on Saturday after
noon about o'clock. Without any
question had Maddern been detained
there instead of being brought to
the county Jail here there would have
been serious difficulty in preventing
the friends of the dead man at least
endeavoring to have dealt with him
summarily.
The murmurs, and in some instan-
ces outright threats, were heard all
over the camp. Several of these hot
headed ones came down to Sumpter
yesterday when they learned the in
quest was to be held there by Coro-
ner Snow. They stated that they
understood that Maddern was to be
brought back there for the examina-
tion. What they would have done
is only matter of speculation. They
would have not been permitted to
have made any interference in Sump-

john Heathman .Bnncoed.

1t is reported that John Heathman
who has recently removed from this
city to Portland was the victim of a
bunco game. He negotiated for a
lodging house on his arrival at Port
land. and it is said the owner of the
house hired people to come in and
fill up the rooms on the day Heath
man looked at the property. By maxi
ing Heathman believe the house was
doing a good business, he was ena-
bled to sell the property to him at an
extortionate price. AS soon as the
deal was made the hired patrons de-
serted the house and the true condi-
ton was made known. 1t is said that
the loss of his money by this rascal
ity almost prostrated Mr.. Heathman.

Active practice for the annual
gon school and colleges will begin at
the high school track and training
quarters, at once.
The high school team has been Sc
lected and the places at least tempo
rarily assigned and the work of drill
ing is now to begin. Frank Pierce
has been elected captain of the team
and the timber selected for the vari-
Gus events in the meet, is thought
to be the very best available. How
ever. there may be some changes in
the assignments, as the work of train
ing progresses.
At present the team and the as
signments are as follows;
Quarter mile dash-Hil. Leezer
and Pierce.
Half mile dash-Leezer, HILL
Pierce, Milne and Harvey.
100 yards and so yard dash-Clar-
ence Bollerman.
Hurdles-Clarence Bollerman and
Al Warner.
High JunpS-ClarenCe ana bOD
Bollerman.
Weights-Strand. Means and Scott.
The boys have already tried out
several times and the results are
highly encouraging. They expect to
carry off several of the prizes at the
coming meet. The bad weather of
the past month has prevented an
earlier beginning of the practice.
THE practice of the teams will in
no way interfere with the studies of
the boys. and in fact, It only stimu-
lates harder study. as the physical
exercise is absolutely necessary to
the best mental effort. We do not in
tend that our sports shall take up
any time which may be needed in ac-
quiring and maintaining a high STAN
dard of scholarship in the high
school," said Dave Hill to the East

A PROSPEROUS RESTITUTION
Flattering Condition of the Phoenix
 Building Q Loan Assn.

R. II. Greene recently received a re- mittanCe from Germany for a block of stock in the Phoenix Building &5 Loan association O. which hc is the secre- tary. That fact and the further fact that the assoiciation has just issued its thirty-first senli-aunual statement makes 2 word or two concerning it very timel-.
 The association is essentially a home institution though there are few out side investors who know of it's opera tions and who are only too glad of an opportunity to invest their money in it knowing its long and honorable re cord and it's proven stabilit--.
 Its loans are always made on proper ty well known to the officers who pass upon loans and the investments are uniformly safe. After it's more than fifteen --ears of business during which it has handled perhaps a million and a half of mOne- it's real estate taken as security for loans amounts to but lit tie more than four thousand dollars and there is yet against that a profit

The Spread of Disease by Railway and Street Cars
A DISCOURAGING VIEW
An Expert Gives It as His Opinion That Bad Ventilation, the Chief Cause of the Trouble, Can Never Be Successfully Removed.

Washington, D. C.. May 7.-(Spe- cial)-In the course of his inquiries as to the possible spread of diseases over the country through the unsanitary condition of railway passenger and street cars, Surgeon General Wyman of tAe U. s. Marine Hospital service. has received a large number of letters from health officers of the various states and cities. From those letters it appears to be the almost unanimous opinion among health officers that many diseases are contracted by the travelling public through breathing vitiated air in the cars, or by the receD- ton into their systems of disease germs from others infected. Especial ly is this said to be true of tbe white plague"
 From those letters it also appears that health boards and health officers in almost all parts of the country are making strenuous efforts to remedy this great evil, but that they are ham pered in their efforts by the lack of le- gislation. only one or two of the states have laws giving authority to the health board to enforce sanitary rules and regulations on the railroads. In some other states the health officers have undertaken this good work with out waiting for legislation.
 All of the health officers who have written upon this question recognize the importance. of the subject and ex~ press an earnest willingness to aid in every possible way to protect the pub lie health by enforcing rigid regula- tions. On the question of the ventila- tion of street and passenger cars, Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the Indiana state hoard of health, writes.
 Its importance can hardly be eXag- gerated. Indianapolis has good street cars and very satisfactory service. but the ventilation is simply horTid. l never think of riding in the inside Of the cars, but always stand out on the platform, even in cold weather, because the air inside is always so extremely foul. It is my opinion that the people are more to blame for this condition than the street car company As you know, the only method for ventilatins street cars is by the ventilators in the roof and by the windows and doors. No passenger will permit q window to be lowered and if the doors are held open for even a moment, some one will rise and close them. The same IS true in regard to the ventilators in the roof. I have repeatedly opened these ventilators only to see them immediate ly closed again by some other passen-

HIS FAMILIAR "C0O"
How a Boy Identified and Recovered
 a Pigeon.

4 litt,c son Of r. L. Comfort is el- gagged in the pigeon raising business A few days ago he lost forty eight birds and he began a search fer some clue. His investigation brought out that C. r. Valentine Is also in the pigeon cui- ture business and that M-. Valentine had lately bought lots of pigeons from various boys. The Comfort lad ap- piled to the sherin-s office for relief and Deputy Sheriff Cunningham went with him to the Valentine pigeon cotes Air. Valentine lid not object to g.v- ing up any birds that might be ilenti- fled as having been the property of the Comfort lad but he wanted 10 be sure that they had actually belonged to him.
 The boy recognized about twenty or the birds and then he came to one con corning which he was in doubt Turn ing to another boy he said. I'm pretty sure it's him but he don't look just like him; he's got his wing clipped and he's got so dirty in that pen that l aint sure about him Well, don't take him unless you are sure of him." sa d the deputy sheriff
 The boy still fondling the bird said "I believe it's him; l could tell in a minute if he'd coo" Finally he re- luctantly turned the bird back into the cage. The pigeon spread his tail and strutting down among the other birds began cOoing. Its him." yelled the boy and dived into the cage and secur- ad the bird who had given himself away by his coo.
 This incident recalled the famous hog stealing case tried once in the courts of Phoenix in which Humphrey Mo KeOne was the complaining witness. MT. McKeone it will be remembered claimed that he he knew his hogs by peculiar grunt which less cultivated hogs had never been able to acquire.
Arizona republican., 1905-05-08

ger The street railway authorities will give orders to their conductors to keep the ventilators open, but passen- gers will close them.
 "The problem of car ventilation is a most difficult one. Cars have been termed houses on wheels In those moving houses space is at a high pre- mium and to keep them supplied with sufficient pure air for the crowded oc- cupants is a matter of extreme diff culty. Indeed, so difficult is the prob lem, I do not believe that cars can be thoroughly ventilated without creating drafts and without, in cold weather, lowering the temperature below com- fortable endurance. Passable ventila- ton will doubtless be some day se- cured.'
 These comments by Dr. Hurty are practically reiterated by every other health officer who has written on the question. except that some are more optimistic and forsee adequate Venti- lation through the application of simple scientific principles. Dr. Hurty goes on in his letter to speak strongly on the question of the unsanitary condition of passenger cars and of the spread Of diseases by the filthy habit of expec toratlng upon the floor. All of the health officers who have written on the subject express an earnest desire that congress may enact the necessary le- gislation to place the sanitation of pas senger cars under the direction of the Interstate Commerce Commission, un- der regulations prescribed by the U. $. marine hospital service.
 Many of the more important railroad companies are using every effort to se- cure a better system of car ventilation. C. A. GoodnOw, general manager of the Chicago & Alton Railway company, writes that his company has been ex- perimenting with a new device and that as 1t has proved to be satisfactory the company will doubtless equip all their cars with it.
 The Pullman company has appointed a superintendent of sanitation whose special duty it is to make thorough and complete tests of whatever devices may be offered until one is found that will prove satisfactory. Other railroad com panies are working along the same lines and it is. believed that the rail road authorities and the health boards, acting in harmony. will soon work de- cided changes for the better preserva- ton Of the public health.

COST OF RAILR0ADING
Interstate Commerce Commission
 Figures for 1904.

New York. May 7.-The preliminary report of the interstate commerce commission giving the earnings of practically all the railroads of the United States for the fiscal year end ing June 30. 1904. shows some very important changes in the cost of conducting the railroad business. The figures for the 1904 fiscal year show the results of the operation of 2O9, ,O00 miles as against 205, 313 miles for the preceding year. The totals for 1904 are as follows: Gross earnings, $1,- 966,633. S21; operating expenses. $1.332,- SS2.94S; income from operation. S634.- 25O,S73. The gross earnings for 1903 were $500. .S46.907, or an increase for the year 1904 of about S66.OOO. .OOO Operating expenses were S1, 1882. .3S3. .94S in 1904 as against S1.257.5 1852 in 1903. The ratio of operating expenses thus increased from 66.16 per cent in 1903, to 67.75 per cent in 1904.
 This increase in the cost of operat- ing the railroads Of the United States is of particular interest at this time It resulted in a decrease of the rev enue available for interest charges and dividends of something over $6,- 100000, the net earnings in 1904 being S634.25O.873 as against S64O. GILES in 1903. In other words. while the rail roads sold over S66,OOO,00O more trans portation than in the preceding year, the actual returns, as regards the own CTS of the railroads, diminished S6 .O00,- 900. The figures of the interstate com merce commission demonstrate Oa their face therefore that the public received cheaper transportation, and the relative proportions of profit to the railroads materially diminished.
