East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-11-10

The East Oregonian today receiv-
ed the following enthusiastic and en-
tertaining communication from JEFF
ferson Myers, chairman of Oregon's
commission to the jamestown eXposi-
tion, who has just arrived at that his
toric spot to look over the ground and
make arrangements for Oregon's eX-
hibit there.
Nh Myers writes in an interesting
manner of the history and surround
ings of jamestown and his letter will
be of interest to every citizen of the
state. He says: 50
Norfolk. VaS- (AnSt,Yc East Oregon
ian.)-I have just gotten through
with my tour covering several days
of the historic ground in this locality
and l thought it best to give you my
impressions while they are hot and
steaminR. Delay in this particular
operates to diminish ardor and l feel
that l would not he doing justice to
the subject did l play into the hands
of the thief of time.
A western man, man from the
coast, can profit by visit back to the
southland. particularly when it brings
him into the cradleland of American
life. 20 the very spot whereon the ma
chinery Of government was first set
in motion by people speaking the Eng
lish language in these United States
That thought in itself to a man who
occupies himself to the measure of his
little best in solving the problems of
government, is a most valuable one,
and the reflection it gives rise to are
so manifest that the range of patri-
otism is embraced in their multiple
ity.
To stand on the site of the first
town constructed by the emigrants
who came over in the three ships
Godspeed, Discovery and Susan Con-
stant, and where they set up the first
government established by English
speaking people on the American
continent, has been the highest of my
privileges.
jamestown is now an island. When
the homeseekers of 1907 made a land
ing there it was peninsula in the
James river. The friction of the waves
has cut off that portion of the penin-
sula where the town of jamestown
stood, and it is now an island, with
nothing of interest except the historic
association and surely that ought to
make II a venerated spot to every
American. The tower of the old
church is the only relic of its archi-
lecture and that has become an OBJ
ject of soloitude to the ladies of pat
riotic organizations.
There are still many objects of his
torical value connected with the colo
MAJ period of our history to be met
with at Williamsburg. Bruton church,

establishment constructed more than

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Drink Crazcd Decd of Civil Engineer
at Salem.

Salem, Ore, Nov. 11.-Drunk and
in the heat of passion, Victor E. DAN
ma, a young civil engineer in charge
of the work Of the Willamette Con-
struction company, shot and instantly
killed Sam Gholston this morning.
After writing n letter to his parents
In Oklahoma and note to his sweet
heart, Miss Lena Hutton of this city,
now in Portland, he went to the asy-
lum farm, where he 'phoned a friend
and then shot out his own brains.
At o'clock this morning D'Anna
went to the room of Gholston and
started to get in bed. D'Anna was
crazed with drink. on his refusal to
leave the room Gholston called a po-
liceman and had the engineer arrested.
He was taken to the city hall and re-
leased on his own recogniZance. He
Immediately went to Waiter loves

INTO FREEWATER
IN A FEW WEEKS
TROLLEY LINE CAMP OF
GRADERS SIX MILES OUT.
Believed the Line Will Dc Extended
10 Pendleton, as the Plans Are Ex-
tensive and Admit of Unlimited Ex-
tension of the System-Tracklayers
Follow Close OH the Heels OF the
Graders Into Freewater.

If the plans of the Walla Walla
Valley Traction company do not go
amiss, the clang of the electric car
bell will be heard in Freewater with
in the next two months.
A large force of graders is now at
work on the electric line grade six
miles from Freewater and work is be-
ing rushed as rapidly as possible. The
camp of the graders is now located
on the Walla Walla river six miles
from Freewater.
Within few days the camp will be
moved TO Freewater and the last Sec
ton of the grade will be constructed
in a short time. AS fast as the track
is laid a construction car follows the
workmen and almost as soon as the
grade is finished the rails will be in
place and the line will be ready for
business.
The line runs through the rich fruit
belt between Milton and Walla walla
and land values along the route have
greatly advanced within the past few
months since it has been apparent
that the electric line would undoubt-
edly be constructed.
While nothing definite has been
given out as to the future plans OF
the company, 1t is thought that the
line will be extended gradually toward
Pendleton. Absolutely nothing has
been done as yet to secure right OF
way into this city, but the plans OF
the company are expansive and II
sufficient inducement to build further
than Freewater is offered, the COM
pany will gladly extend the line.

INSPECTION Of
GRAIN BUREAU
STATE DEPARTMENT Is
NEEDED AND DESIRED.
Umatilla Farmers Urge That IL Would
BE u Protection Against Unjust
Grading and Also Against ENorbi.
tnnt Charges for Storage and Ship
mcnt--Mcasurr VIII BE Presented
In Next Legislature.

Farmers of Umatilla county are at
the present time interested in the
movement of creating a state bureau
of wheat and warehouse inspection,
and the matter is now being agitated
with enthusiasm. Farmers who were
seen today expressed a desire that
the legislature appoint state inspec-
tor whose duties will be to see that
the warehouses do not charge exorhi-
tant prices for storage and shipment
of grain. a matter that has long been
the bugbear with wheatgrowers.
Farmers of this county and eastern
Oregon generally seem to be united
in the matter of having the office of
state inspector created, and 1t is pre-
sumed that definite steps toward that
end will be AIKEN in the near future.
1t will he the purpose of the proposed
office to regulate the entire industry
Of the state.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed at
the system that has been in vogue in
the past regarding the grading of
wheat, which is done by the ware
housemen. These men as a rule are
agents of the big wheat buyers of
Portland. and the warehouses are
owned by few big companies. AS
the matter stands the buyers seem
to have things all their own way, and
the farmers claim that they are often
put to disadvantage in disposing OF
their crops by arbitrary methods
pursued by the warehousemen.
1t is contended that the standard
fixed by the buyers, to all intents anC
purposes, is a somewhat unfair one
as frequently grain is classed below
its real standard, thus yielding in.
ferior prices for superior grain.
1t is understood that bill for tn,
provision of an inspector will be sub
mitted to the legislature.
Umatilla county farmers are anx
ious that the bill he favorably acte,
upon, as they declare that such ;
measure will greatly relieve condition
that have obtained in the past.
