Purchases a Half Interest In
Pendleton Tribune.
HAS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS
Is a Writer of Force and Ability, and
Was Editor of Salem States
man Before Governor.

Ex-Governor T. 7. Geer, undaunted
by his defeat in the Republican pri-
maries last spring, is preparing to re-
enter the political field and there is
strong reason to believe that he in
tends to run for United States senator
in 1908. AS the first step toward
the furtherance of this ambition he
has purchased half interest in t he
Pendleton Tribune and within few
days will take active charge of the
conduct of the paper. says the Port
land Journal.
Geer was newspaper man before
he was governor, and for several
years he was editor of the Salem
Statesman. He knows full we'll the
value of newspaper support in a politi-
cal campaign and there can be no
doubt that if his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for governor
in the primaries last spring had had
the same publicity that was given to
the candidacy of James Withycombe,
Geer would have been the nominee.
His defeat taught him lesson from
which the ex-governor plainly pro-
poses to profit. With newspaper of
his own at his command, there will
be no lack of publicity when he re-
enters the political game. 1t is not
likely that he will seek again to be-
come governor, for that would entail
wait of four long years. But he
has long been ambitious to go tc the
United States senate, and the way
may open in 1908, when the people
will vote on the choice of Fulton's
successor. Ten months ago it was
generally expected that Geer would
be a Aenatorial candidate this year,
but strong pressure was brought to
lear to induce him not to enter the
race, aud he finally reluctantly con-
sented to seek instead second term
as governor. Many republicans be-
lieve that if he had persisted in his
original determination to run for SEN
ator he would have been the peoples
nominee.
There is strong sentim ent in favor
of the proposition that eastern Ore
gon should have one of the two United
States Senators. Il is hardly likely
that Portland man will be chosen IN
1908 as this city will then be repre-
sented by Bourne. 1t is quite on the
cards, therefore, that the fight may
narrow to Fulton and Geer, and in
that event the latter will find in his
newspaper valuable weapon.
Tho negotiations for the purchase of
u half interest in the Tribune have
been pending for several months.
While the deal has nominally not been
closed, there is no doubt that it will
go through and within few days
Geer will remove to eastern Oregon.

FRANCHISE FOR TROLLEYLINE
Two Lines Have Received Same Priv

A Milton special says: The Milton
city council Wednesday night got it.
self together and granted a franchise
to the Walla WalIa Valley Traction
Co. which allows the company the
privilege of constructing trolley line
through Its streets, the same being the
long heralded Walls Walla project.
The franchise calls for the completion
of the project within six months.
A force of men Wednesday morning
began work at the Walla Walla end
of the line, on the route surveyed and
located some time ago. The company
needs more men now than can be Sc
cured.
The Columbia & Walla Walla
Traction company was granted fran
chise by the same session Of the coun-
Gil, with time limit of three years
in which to complete their line.
Their franchise allows them to build
on the opposite side Of the same streets
as the former company mentioned.
The w. w. v. 7. Go. promises 40
minute service from the first day
their road is in operation, and also
that it will extend TO College Place
from Walla Walla as soon as it is in
operation elsewhere.

WILL SHIP OREGON HORSES
Honolulu Man Buys Animals.and They
Sail on Steamer Tomorrow.

The establishment of direct
steamship line between Portland port
aud the Hawaiian islands already has
directly benefited the horse raisers
of eastern Oregon, says the Journal.
Tomorrow night the Matson Nayiga-
tion oompany's steamer Hilonian will
sail from Portland for Honolulu aud
on the forward deck will be 26 head
of broken work horses that would
likely have never left their native soil
had it not been for the establishment
of the new steamship line,
The horses are being shipped by
james Mcqueen, stock buyer of
Honolulu. Mr.. Mcqueen is in Port
land today superintending the build
ing Of the stalls for the horses on the
Hilonian and he will be among the
passengers when the steamer pulls ont
tomorrow night. He expects to re-
tnrn to Portland soon for more horses
aud will probably also secure some
cattle for the island plantations.
81 have have buying horses for many
years in California and on Puget
sound. said Mr.. Mcqueen, "but now
that Portland has a direct steamer
line to the islands believe we eau do
better here. We use mostly heavy

THEIR HEADS CRUSHED IN.
Two Men Found Dead Near the Van
derbilt Mines

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, June 23.-The
mutfated bodies of two men with their
heads crushed as if an ak, were found
tonight on the hillside near the Nellie coal
mines at Vanderbilt. 1t Is believed the men
were murdered. One body has been identi
fed as that of Thomas Bosley. miner.
The other man is believed to be l. F.
Clark, a telegraph operator of this city.
Early this evening Bosley and the man
who was later found dead with him were
seen talking in the bar room of the Van
derbilt Hotel with a Slav. The Slav is said
to have refused to drink with the two and
q quarrel followed. Later Bosley and his
companion left the place. A short time af-
terward a foreigner who was walking along
path on Nellie hill found the two dead
bodies and notified the village authorities
in Vanderbilt.
Constable Jacob Hirschman and Iolice-
man Ell Mukton obtained a description of
the Slav with whom the two men had quar-
relied and located him in a company house
at the Nellie mines. 1t Is alleged that he
was hiding under a bed and fought the Of
fcers furiously James Colbert, a friend
