SEND THIS BOOK EAST
o. R. & N. and S. P. Book Tells
About This Country.

If possible, the Passenger Depart
ment of The Oregon Railroad q Navi-
cation Company and Southern Pacific
Lines in Oregon has surpassed itself
in the 1906 issue of its new publication,
"Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
their resources"
The purpose of the publication is to
attract homeseekers and investors to
the Pacific Northwest and this publi-
cation is undoubtedly the best mes
senger that could be sent by residents
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the East and Middle
West
Beautiful half tones, printed on
superb book paper, make the publica-
ton, which contains 88 pages and a
map of the section, work Of art, but
far superior to the typographical
makeup is the contents of the book.
Under many heads covering practi-
cally all the resources OF the states
are short, pithy stories Of what has
been accomplished, not what might be
done, but actual facts and figures ac-
companied by names and addresses
of well known farmers, who are daily
Iaving aside an income that would be
a fortune to an Eastern Agriculturist.
VIM. McMurray, General Passenger
Agent of the O. R. & N. Co. and S. P.
Lines in Oregon has favored the
editor with a copy of this publication
and informed him that readers OF this
paper by sending the names and
addresses of friends in the East and
four cents in postage for each address,
may have the book promptly mailed
to the address given.

MAKING GOOD ROAD
Southern Pacific Company Makes
Many Changes for Better on
YamhilI Division.

The Southern Pacific Company is
preparing to make many substantial
improvements along the line Of the
Yamhill division, between Portland
and Airlie. The increased train service
and the rapidly growing business on
this branch has called forth general
policy of improvement, and changes
for the better in the roadbed and
equipment are being made every day.
One of the most noticeable improve
ments along the line is the handsome
new depot at Lafayette. The building
is Of neat style Of architecture and
is conveniently arranged for the
handling Of the company's business
at this station. The depot grounds
are being tastefully improved, and,
when completed, will compare favor
ably with those Of any other town in
the valley.
Another important improvement is
the building Of large fuel oil tank
at the junction at st. Joe. The COM
pany is already using oil on the main
line and some of the trains on the
West Side division. 1t is tho intention
to have all the engines changed to oil
burners by November |. The storage
tank at st. Joe will have capacity Of
5000 gallons of OIL Fifteen thousand
dollars have been set aside for the
work at this point.
Many trestIes are being filled on the
lower end of the road, and all the
wooden culverts are being replaced by
substantial arches of concrete or
masonry Much ballast has been
placed on the roadbed in the last few
months, and it is probable that this
work will be continued until the entire
80 miles of road is placed in first class
condition.
The new morning passenger train
from Portland to Dallas is receiving
heavy patronage, Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been running less
than ten days and the travelling public
has not become accustomed to the in
creased service. Not less than 100
passengers have been carried any
day, and on Sunday morning an even
200 tickets were sold at the Jefferson
Street depot.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
the supstroke as if the Day OF Fire
had dawned. They are fraught with
danger to people whose systems are
poorly sustained; and this leads US to
say, in the interest of the less robust |.
of our readers, that the full effect OF
Hoods sarsaparilla is such as to sug-
gest the propriety of calling TINS
medicine something besides a oIoou
nurifer and tonic-say, a sustaining
diet It makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing Sleep and
will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time Of year.

MONEY CAUSED TRAGEDY.
Whole Family Slain after Dispute
OUer Settlement of EstQte.

Pembroke, n. H, Jan. 1S.-While the official
report Of the tragedy Of Wednesday at North
Pembroke, by which the lives of all the eight
members of the household of Charles H. Aver
were blotted out, will not be completed for sew
eral days. the county authorities believe that a
dispute money matters furnished the mo-
tive for Ayers alleged crime.
The theory held by County Solicitor Thomas
F. Clifford is that Aver shot his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Laura Lakennan; that his wife interfered to
protect her mother, and that hoping to conceal
the evidences of his act the man. in a frenzy,
put an end to the lives of the entire family and
set fire to the dwelling house. His own death
by suicide took place several hours later at the
home OF his sister, Mrs. George Bailey. in Chi
chester.
According TO the county authorities it is
known that Aver had trouble with his mother
in-law over the estate of her husband the late
Isaac Lakeman, who died about three years ago,
leaving as his principal property the homestead
farm on which the murders occurred. AS ad-
ministratrix of the estate Mrs. Lakeman had re-
Gently sold tn, farm TO of her sons Lafay-
cite LakemaI., though the latter had not taken
possession. Ayers desire for division of the
proceeds of this sale is said to have led TO a
dispute with Mrs. Lakeman and this is consid-
cred by the authorities as pointing TO the mo-
tive for the alleged wholesale murders.
