OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 49, 1906.
ONE MAN. BURNED TO DEATH.
Another Badly Scorched I'm the Hay
and Grain Fire.

Riparia, March 15.-One man per-
ished in the fire of Saturday night
which destroyed the grain and hay
sheds of Erickson & Peterson, the
railroad contractors. The remains of
the dead man were found yesterday
and the body was terribly charred.
The deceased Is known to be a rail-
road laborer named NJ. Moore. The
man worked two and a half days
with the track laying gang above Ri
paria and then came here to work in
the yards where he was engaged in
unloading material. With other la
borers he was sleeping in the hay pile
the night of the fire.
There have been repeated reports
of the finding OF other bodies in the
debris left by the fire, but these re-
ports up to tonight have proven to be
an error. The ruins are still smoul-
dering and until the fire is entirely
quenched it will not be possible to
definitely determine whether or not
other lives were lost.
Fred Bean, the man who was also
sleeping in the hay pile the night of
the fire, and who was severely burn
ed, had a narrow escape. He was
struggling almost futively to get out
of the fire zone and would undoubt-
edly have failed had not assistance
come to him.
Mr.. Bean is resting comfortably
now, and, it is stated, will recover.

The O. r. & n. company is prepar-
ing everywhere for emergencies after
the cold weather is over. a heavy
fall of snow now lies all over the
country adjacent to the lines through
eastern Oregon and as the season is
now SO far f.ivaucei il is feared that
warm weather will succeed the .oll
spoil, causing sudden high water and
consequent damage to tracks and
bridges.
General Superintendent NJ. ]. Buck
ley arrived last night from the east
end of the lines and left this morning
for the north. While in La Grande
he sent the pile driver and a large
amount of emergency material to
Huntington to be ready for an emerg-
ency in case of warm rains and high
water following the heavy snow.
There is about 20 inches of snow
all along the line from Baker valley
to Huntington with much more in the
higher mountains along Burnt river.
The tracks and bridges are in excel
lent condition this spring, but the
steep mountains of Burnt river hurl
torrents into the valleys and down the
canyons with terrible force and tracks
and bridges, no matter how well
built, ATE always endangered by high
water in that district

Washington, March 15.@Senator
Tillman presented the committee re-
port on the Hepburn bill with recon-
mendations today. He said:
1.-THE gross annual earnings of the
railroads are in round numbers $2,-
600, 100000, and net earnings 800,
100000. Once every year every dollar
circulated in this country passes
through the hands of the railroads,
once in three years every dollar in
this country becomes a part of their
net earnings. These net earnings
equal annually the entire expendi-
lures of the United States govern
ment.
'It is small wonder, then, that the
most brilliant legal minds are retain
ed to make explanations, frame laws,
secure their passage and exercise an
| overmastering influence over the ju-
dietary and executive departments Of
the states and the nation. The aver
age citizen is almost driven to believe
the fight is hopeless, the government
being controlled by the railroads and
the liberties of the people in jeopardy.
Party lines in the committee were
broken, those senators agreeing in IA
yet differing on the amendments that
ought to be inculcated.
There will be a passionate storm
of resentment if the representatives
of the people fail to give the relief
the country so earnestly demands The
bill as it comes from the house is
loosely worded, and capable of differ
ent interpretations. The senate must
produce the best possible law"
Mr.. Tillman discussed at length
the delegation of powers to the COM
mission of judiciary and review and
says the authorization of the commits
sion to fix rates is too elastic and
should be stricken out.
He urged that hereafter all issues
of railroad securities be under con-
troll Of the commission; should be
speedy readjustment of the capitaliza-
ton of values, while protect as far as
possible the innocent holders of water
ed stock.
He advocates an amendment pro-
hibiting any interstate carrier to pro-
duce and transport any article for
sale, but the roads should be allowed
to mine coal for their own use.
He would compel all roads to con-
meet with all others, grant fair and
just traffic arrangements and put all
shippers on the same footing.
