until the convention adjourned We'd

ed to be here the next day, and was
then only hundred miles from here,
we don't understand why 1t was he
did not come, If he is sincere in try
ing to rerrit out this crime, and has
the evidence which he says he has in
his report, which he has failed to
produce.
In the face of all this failure to
make good these reports. an infam-
Gus dispat n appeared in Mondays
and also in the Hopkinsville New
Era of the same date, to the effect
that Mr.. Ayres had forwarded some
very important papers to Mr.. Kelly,
and intimating that the name of the
guilty party was made known in
them. The New Era even went so
far as to use the following large
headlines over its article:
"HAS NAMED THE MAN
"He Alleges Sent Wallis a Threaten
ing Letter"
A more infamous falsehood was
never perpetrated upon an honest
ind intelligent people than is con-
tained in the above headlines, we care
not who the author is or from what
source 1t was gathered, for he has
not named the man" or given any
evidence against any one, as is
shown from the above facts.
The papers which Mr.. Ayres sent
Mr.. Smith and which these newspa-
pers and Mr.. Ayres would have the
public believe are so important. are
the anonymous letter itself. which of
course is no evidence at all, and the

TRAINS ARE TIED UP.

Washington Division.

Walla Walla, Jam. 16.-Freight
trains on the branch lines CT the o.
r. & n. will be held up until to-
morrow noon, having been pulled off
yesterday for As hours. Freights on
the main line are moving and will be
kept moving to bring in coal If moth
ing more.
District Passenger and Freight
Agent Robert Burns said this morn
ing that the company had plenty of
coal to keep passenger trains run
ming having received a supply last
night. Passenger trains being late
is not occasioned by shortage in the
coal supply. The public certainly
must understand that if a train has
| coal enough to run at all it can run
on time so far as coal is concerned
and delay is due to other causes
:he greater the delay the greater the
draft on the coal.
On the w. G. c. r. trains are rum
ming regularly, though somewhat late.
Officials say they have assurances
that coal will be received right along
"a car or two, and perhaps more
every day.

COAL FAMINE NORTHERN IDAHO
Seems Easy to Alleviate With Cash on
Delivery

+. f. Johnson, president of the
First National bank of Wallace and
the First National Bank of Twin
Falls, arrived last evening, says the
Boise Statesman. He is on his way
to attend the annual meeting of the
latter institution. Speaking of con-
ditions in the Coeur d'Alenes last
evening he said the business of the
mining companies had been interfer-
cd with very seriously by the coal
shortage. The effect arises peculiar
y. There the railroad people are
obliged to take very poor coal from
some mines in British Columbia and
in Western Washington. This will
not make steam and the ore trains
cannot deliver much more than half
the usual amount of ore. The Fed
eral company is handling only 600
tons a day instead of the normal
amount of 1900. and 1t is all because
of the character of the coal. The
train crews are simply worn out with
their endeavors to KEEP things going.
Mr.. Johnson tells an interesting
story of the manner in which they
secured a partial coal supply there
for domestic purposes. over at the
Bridger mines in Montana the man.
ager refused to make any shipments
without the money. When the coal
dealer at Wallace learned that a
plan was quickly arranged.
He had Mr.. Johnson telegraph
the bank at Rridger $4,000 with in
structions to pay it over to the Goa
company as fast as the latter turned
ever bills of lading. The next day 6
train of 15 cars of coal started fol
Wallace. The fund was added to as
needed. and three cars have been Sc
cured daily since.
Mr.. Johnson makes the further in
torestinG statement that the north
ern roads made a rate of So a ton OF
anthracite coal from Chicago to Wal
lace. The coal cost $3.50 in Chicago
/ making a total of S11.50 laid down
Al that cost it is far cheaper thar

last evening, the resignation of Rev.
c. Fl. Nellor was accepted and IT was
decided to suspend the church services
until the first Sunday in April Rev.
Nellor is considered one of the ablest
men to occupy the pulpit of his church
and much regret Is expressed at his
resignation. However, 1t is believed
by him that he will be able to accom-

going. He is now at Genessee, Idaho

That another desperate shooting
affray in the tenderloin district was
narrowly averted last evening is very
probable, and had it come off 1t would
likely have produced even bloodier
results than the one in which Off
Ger Waters figured recently. Basil
Parr, the half breed Indian, was the
bad man with the gun, and in the po
lice court this morning he was fined
$25 for carrying concealed weapon.
Complaint was made to Marshal
Gurdane yesterday that Parr and a
white friend of his named Monk
shanks had robbed the Oriental Of
$50 the night previous. Accordingly
the two men were found yesterday
by the marshal and Officer Sheer.
They were then taken to the Oriental
to confront their accusers. When
first taken a gun was founu on Monk
shank and it was taken from him by
the officers. However, they made no
search of Parr and did not know he
had pistol.
While the entire party was at the
Oriental the officers stepped into a
side room for a moment Glancing
out they saw Parr take a pistol from
his pocket and proceed to load the
same. Immediately Marshal Gurdane
demanded the gun and 1t was forth
coming. In explanation of why he
prepared his weapon for use Parl
said he was afraid there might be
macques about the place who would

prosecuting attorney in the state OF
Washington:
II desire to inform you that Gov

EIGHT MILES OF SALT.
Novel Method of Keeping Walla
Walla Trolley Cars Moving.

\ trail of salt eight miles long is
to he strcwn along the streets of
Walla Walla, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
The salt is to be dropped along the
edge of the rails of the street car
tracks in order to melt the ice which
causes the cars to slip.
This is the plan ty which the Walla
Walla Valley Traction company pro-
poses to wage war on king frost"
The coating of ice on the car tracks
during the cold snap has considerably
| hampered the progress of the troll
| leys
Rrooms with stiff steel bristles,
have been used to brush out the ac-
cumulated snow and ice on the
curves. but it is impossible to clear
the whole track in this way. Some
times a car stops in the middle of a
straight stretch Of track because the
ice has done away with the neces-
sary friction between wheel and rail
In large cities this difficulty is met
by srrtakling salt along the rails
The we'll known affinity of the sail
for cnow causes the latter to melt
RAPIDLY even in freezing weather.
The salt is distributed from a little
push car, which is run in front Of
the motor car. The car contains s
huge funnel full of salt. This fun
ncl tarers down to two little narrow
Sits near the rails. The motion o.
the car shakes out just enough sal
through these Sits to accomplish th'
desired result
1t &c said that loose salt thrown IL
the sink will "thaw out" frozen waite
pipes if the freeze is below the sink

that power for several times the pres
ent requirements of the plant can be
generated there.
The company's plant on the south
fork of the Walla Walla river, in
Umatilla county, has been put out of
business three times since May, 1906,
by disastrous floods. The engineer
who located the plant made serious
mistake, it is said, by placing it in
the bed of the river instead of eXca-
waiting place for it in the rocky wall
of the canyon. To build new plant
would cost a fortune. This plant fur
nishes electric light and power for
Walla Walla, Pendleton, Athena, Mil
ton and Weston.
Since the Walla Walla street car
system has been in operation the plant
has been more heavily taxed than ever
and completion of the interurban line
from Walla Walla to Freewater and
Milton will about exhaust its capacity.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-16

An enlarged plant, more certain
power and uninterrupted service are
desired by the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company which furnishes
light and power for Pendleton and to
secure these advantages it is possible
that the company will seek a new
power plant on a larger stream than
the fork of the Walla Walla river,
upon which the present plant is To-
Gated.
The rapid extension of the electric
service of the company is making de-
mands upon it from every quarter and
with the completion of the Walla
Walla electric street car system and
the suburban line to Freewater the
present capacity of the system will be
taxed heavily.
A special dispatch from Walla
Walla says of the plans of the COM
pany:
The Northwestern Gas & Electric
Light company, owned by Philadel-
phia capitalists, which recently came
into possession of plants at Walla
walla, Spokane, Baker City, Pendle-
ton, Milton, Weston, The Dalles, Sa-
lem, Eugene and other places in Ore
gon and Washington, finds that 1,
has reached the limit of its capacity
and is now looking for another source
of power.
1t is stated on good authority thai
the company has about decided upor

plants in both western Oregon anC
eastern Oregon and Washington. En-
gineers who have examined the Des
chutes falls have given an opinion

partment of the S. P. company
throughout the Willamette valley
this week, but II was released on
"Wednesday when Cottage Grove mer-
chants received three cars, with

Thirty cars of general merchandise

The congestion at Junction is said to
be due not go much to the storm as
to a shortage of fuel, both coal and
oil. Several engines in the yard at

 Winslow Mail: Captain Henry Warren, resident manager of the Aztec Land x Cattle Company at St. Joseph, states that his company has completed the installing of pumping plant that will produce a flow of from GOO to ,000 gallons of water per hour. With the amount of water they now have available 400 acres of very rich land may be irrigated. Mir. Warren expects to have colony located there not later than next spring and perhaps this summer. The company will soon begin boring for artesian water.
 Winslow Mail: Captain Henry F. H. Lasher, the mining man who is interested in the placer fields in Southern Utah, arrived here Tuesday from Oregon. He left yesterday for the north to commence building road with which to haul freight and ma chinery to their place of opera. ton. Burr Williams will have charge of road building, and ex- poets to begin at the point where the proposed road crosses the Keams Canyon road to Holbrook It is due time that we were looking into the matter of bridge here in order that Winslow may be the shipping point of this com pany.
 Tombstone Prospector: The air receiver on the compressor at the Silver Thread hoist blew up this morning about S;30 and pieces of the receiver were thrown iE every direction, and as a consequence the building was badly wrecked. The entire front and part of the roof of the building was blown out. Sam Roberts, who was standing within few feet of the boiler when the explosion occurred, had a narrow escape from being hit with pieces of the flying metal The engine was not injured in the least. The report from the explo- sion was heard in all parts of the town, but sounded like heavy blast and did not attract much at tention. The work of repair was immediately started.
 Williams News: Some of the local merchants complain that it is little dull here just at present. Quite likely it is true, but if all the mail order house catalogues in town were burned, and Williams money that is sent each month to the Chicago mail order houses was kept here at home where it buys just as much, there would be lit tie reason to complain of slow busi- ness.

 Iuternational-American T h c fact that one hundred cars of ore were hauled ty the F. r. and <. w. railroad yesterday from Blsbee shows that the labor troubles in the mining camp have not so far prevented the output of ore in sui ficient quantities to retard produc- ton at the smelters in this city. Yesterday the regular ore tram brought sixty cars and in the af- ternoon there was special train of forty cars, all loaded with ore, except two or three oil tank cars. During the last week the western division of the Southwestern deliv. cred to the eastern division more than five hundred empty cars which had been held on the various sid. ings between Douglas and El Paso These empty cars were handled in addition to the regular business It was learned this morning that fuel was coming with greater reg ularity during the last few days and ten cars of oil arrived on the train this morning from El Paso
 Arizona Republican: United States District Attorney Alexander is close herding the railroads in respect of the safety appliance law which requires all cars to be equip ped with apparatus for un' coupling, without the necessity oi stepping between the cars. He has brought suit against the Southern Pacific in the Second district for a violation of the law at Benson. Recently the Ari- zona X New Mexico company pleaded guilty to charge brought in Globe and was fined $100 Last fall the El Paso & South western was convicted and gave notice of appeal, but recently aban- doned the appeal and paid the fine Mir. Alexander said the railroads are for the most part equipped properly and the close watching is only to see that they do mol become neglectful.
