East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-07-06

The street car company handled the
greatest crowd on July that it ever
had to deal with, says the Telegram.
The officials have not yet even rough
ly figured the number of passengers
carried during the day, but every
available car in the city was in con-
slant service from early morning until
daylight, and scarcely a trip was made
over any line when the car was not
loaded To the rails. There were about
900 cars in service, and a random es-
innate places the crowd handled at
not less than 100000. The demand
was so great that the company could
not serve all, and thousands of per-
sons who intended going to resorts
outside of the city were unable TO get
on the cars.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., A7IANTA, GA,

Estimates of discharge during this
flood have not yet been made for
most stations. A discharge measure
ment made at the crest Of the flood
in the lower stretch OF Umatilla river,
shows the exceptional high rate of
eight second-feet per square mile for
the drainage area of 227O square miles
or a maximum flow of more than 49,
600 second-feet.
Gaging stations on these rivers
were OF value to irrigation interests,
those on Umatilla river having been
utilized by the reclamation service in
the consideration OF the Umatilla pro-
ject.

Held on Tuesday is a Surprise in
Some Ways.
Davidson is Nominated for
Governor. -Sheriffship
in Doubt.

The first primary election has
passed into history. The day
passed in Bayfield, county with
out incident. Less than 1900 votes
were cast in the county which
is considered very light. Dav-.
idson carried the county for
Governor with vote of 729 to
$50 for Lenroot, with the pre-
cincts of Orienta and Bell to
hear from. Without these pre-.
cincts Davidson has a majority
of 60 votes in the county.
The war NEST contest was for
the Office of sheriff, and the re-
suit is still in doubt. Mcdonald
of Iron River and Severson of
this city are the leaders. On
the face of the unofficial returns
with Orienta and Bell to report.
Mcdonald has plurality of two
votes as will be seen from the
table of votes printed elsewhere.
It will require the official can
vass to determine who is the
winner. For district attorney
Alvord gets the nomination by a
good margin. For Congress

More than five hundred American

announced since the discussion between
, Baron Won Schwedler Schwartzenbure
, and his rich Cleveland father in-law
as to the value of title. The Baron
, contended that foreign title Of no
bility has al actual market value. This
value, the Baron tells the American
public, should be regulated by sliding
scale.
Probably the highest price for for
eign title WAS paid by Jay Gould's
daughter, Anna. The title of Csstel-

years old, yet it cost $e.O00.00O

gested that with them married life was
Ill moonshine. But that wasn't SO.
Some time afterwards girl baby was
born to them. This event so over
whelmed the father that he got drunk
on sure enough whiskey, and then
there was full moon. After getting
sober he found that he had only 25
c-nts in change i'll bis pocket, aud that
was the last quarter. And when he
went into the Kitchen where his moth
si-in-law was cooking supper she
knocked him down with the rolling
pin, and that was total eclipse and be

I4-MILE CRACK IN EARTH
Fissure In Texas Quicksilver District
7OOxi8OO feet.

Marathon, Tex The second largest
crack in the earth in the United States
has been discovered in a remote part
of the Terlingua quicksilver district,
ninety miles south of here, according
to Dr. William b Phillips, formerly
IdirectOr of the state mineral survey,
who is now operating mines in that
section.
DR.. Phillips says this crack is four
teen miles long and no less than 700
feet wide at any point. 1t is 1900 feet
deep. The walls are almost perpendi-
cular.
| The country where it is situated has
an altitude of about 3 900 feet. Care
full exploration of this remal lkable
crack has not yet been made. 1t is be
lieved that search may reveal rich
minerals, particularly quicksilver.
The crack is far from any human
habitation, with the exception of
| shack of an old Mexican, who lives in
its gloomy bottom. He was found by
a party Of hunters, but fled at their
| approach and reached the bottom of
| the crack by means of a rude rope lad
| der, which be had made from the fiber
of the cactus plant.
The hunters followed him down the
ladder and cornered him in his house.
The old man could not be induced to
talk much. Only glimmer of the sun
could be seen from the bottom of the
pit, and the Americans did not tarry
long.
They noticed that a stream of pure
water bubbled up near the Mexican 8 |
shack and that he seemed we'll provid-
ed with vegetables and other edibles |
Goats grazed upon the grass and shrub
berry which covered the floor Of the
cavern and chickens were gathered |
arc u1d the home of the hermit. Tue |
old Mexican said he came there years |
before from Mexico. How long ago lie
could not ber. He lived there
because he wanted to be alone. He
had visited Soquilias, town about 80 |
miles distant, few times.
The discovery of this freak of nature
recalls the fact that Big Bend country
was until few years ago the rendez-
vous OF desperate outlaws. Mexicans
and Americans. MANY futile pursuits
after these murderers and thieves were
made by the United States and Texas
officers of the law.
The discovery of this track may ex-
plain how these criminals evaded cap
ture so easily. 1t is believed that they
made the cavern their rendezvous, and
some persons think that vast store
of robbers treasure may be found
there.
The Taylor gang of train robbers,
who held up Southern Pacific train
near Valentine years ago, were report :
ed at the time to have obtained about
