CORVALLIS BUILDING STONE
Compressed Volcanic Ash of Super
iOr Quality.

+. M. Flugstad is in receipt Of a
communication from S. p. Langley
secretary of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion at Washington ID. G. giving re-
suits of the analvsis of the building
stone found just east of Corvallis.
The stone which is BLUSH gray in COL
or, is pronounced a compressed vol
canic ash of superior quality and par
ticularly adapted for use in buildings
located in dry climate. 1t is extrem-
ely durable and capable of highly
ornate finish. a mountain of this
stone lies just east of Corvallis and
James Barr, the Corvallis builder, has
ordered saws with which to cut it into
slabs. f. l.. Burns has decided to use
this stone in his two story business
blo.k, the contract for which will be
let next week. Builders pronounce
this material far superior to brick. In
Idaho, most of buildings, including
the federal building at Pocatello, were
con struCted of this character of stone,
Why not construct Hamilton's new
city hall of this native stone?

Kline made the following signed state
ment today relative 10 the arrest IN
the Gilman murder case:
I am certainly most confident that
the right man has been captured, de-
spite the fact that Curtis is said to be
crazy and an imbecile, and not RESPONSE
bic for his statements Curtis is not
crazy, in my opinion. but 1 do say that
ne IS not as bright as he might be. He
is possessed Of a deep cunning. and this
was displayed most convincingly In the
taking of his statements Friday morn
ing Curtis is one Of a type that would
be capable of such a crime.
Curtis told the detectives and my
self Of things which happened on the
night when Dona Gilman was muir
dered that had n0t been known before
and which were proven to be true Ee
remembered very We'll OF seeing one of
the residents Of the street standing at a
front window with a baby in her arms
MS woman was located, and admitted
the truth of the statement but said
that sne did not see Curtis walking
along the street He also pointed out
various houses where lights were burn
ing on the pOTches, or in front windows.
and this statement was cCrroboratel by
the detectives. We feel sure he Is the
right man"

lieved the engineer who lost his life this

disastrous wreck. i'm which Engineer
George Kinney and several others
lost their lives, and a number of
persons were injured, occurred on
the DanYille division OF the SOuths
ern railroad, a short distance south
of this city, about 4;1O O'Clock this
morning.
The wreck was strlkingly similar
to the one in which President Spen-
cer and others peTished on Thanks
giving Day, the trains catching fire
from the overturned passenger train
engine and throwing the occupants
of the coaches into a panic.
Engineer Kinney. said t9 be a
brother of the engineer on train 33,
which split open and set on fire
President SpenceE's car, was killed
outright, although his fireman eS-
capped with Injuries believed 10 be
serious.
1t is known that two tramps we're
burned TO death.
FiTemen Battling With Flames.
Firemen from this city went to
the scene of the wreck and engaged
in a desperate battle with the rag
ing flames. At noon the tons Of
freight and two score OF more pas
senger and freight cars were still
burning. 1t is thought that several
persons who were sleeping in the
cars were burned to death.
The deraiIed engine, which after
ward caught fire. tore down tele-
graph and telephone wire poles, and
because of that fact it is difficult TO
obtain accurate reports from the
scene of the wreck. All trains have
been delayed because of the burning
debris and destruction of the tracks
by the flames.
Like the Lawyers Disaster.
The wreck is said to have been
caused in the same manner as the
one on Thanksgiving Day, when an
operator let train have a block
which was occupied. The operator
at the first block south of this city
is alleged to have allowed No. "a,
which was some minutes behind
time, in on the block before the

miles of track.
