Supplanting Sheet Music

Mr.. Herbert said that the phono-
graph record and the perforated roll
are rapidly supplanting sheet music,
and that the endeavors of the musi-
clan to have his rights protected in
this respect led the President to
urge a change in the copyright law,
after which Mr. Currier introduced a
bill which omitted all reference to
the mechanical devices.

FREEWATER LINE NEAR|Ne COmpl ELTON
CANNOT BE OPERATED At ONCE
BECAUSE OF LACK OF

There is nothing to it at all" said
Manager Robert Allen of the North
western Gas & Electric company
this morning. when asked concerning
the rumor that his company would
build a mammoth plant at Des.
chutes, which would supply part of the
electricity used by Walla Walla and
vicinity.
Mr.. Allen thought the person who
originated the reports appearing in
Portland and Spokane papers must
have a we'll developed imagination as
the Deschutes is so far away from
here that transportation of power
from there would be inadvisable.
The Walla Walla Valley Traction
company expects to nave its track
completed into Freewater this week,
but will be unable to operate the line
that far at present because of a lack
of poles upon which to string the troll
ley wire.
AS soon as these can be obtained the
service to the Oregon city will be
started.

HOURS.
SON OF WEALTHY FAMILY THE LEADER

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Three college
graduates, one of them the scion of
a wealthy London, Eng, family, have
been arrested charged with having
committed various burglaries on the
North Side in the last month. Miss
Ell Church, IS years old, the fiancee
of one of the burglars, was also arrest
ed, charged with having received
stolen property. The men arrested are
Richard Erickson, alias Church, alias
Hamilton; Percy c. Hicklin, graduate
of Oxford university, England, and al
legged heir to an English estate;
Wheeler J. Brown, graduate of SYRIA
cuse Technical college.
The arrest of the men followed the
attempt of Hicklin, who is said to have
been the brains of the trio, to dis
pose of an $500 camera lens for $3.50
in State street department store.
The low price asked, coupled with a
lookout message" to the store from
the police caused Hicklins detention
until the arrival of Central station
detectives.
When confronted, Hicklin broke
down and confessed, duplicating Erick-
son and Brown. Erickson was ar
rested at the Van Buren, hotel. In his
room was recovered nearly $1,000
worth of camera and tailor's supplies.
Hicklin proudly told Lieutenant Nc
Carthy that the burglar game beat
any diversion he had ever engaged in.
He said he took it up only to help to
pass the monotonous hours of wait
ing for a monthly allowance of $50
from the folks in London"
Erickson is a graduate of Northwest
ern university.
Il am the scion of a wealthy Eng
lish family in London that has always
gratified my every whim," said Hick-
lon, so when l expressed a desire
to become an oculist they Immediately
cabled assent, and said they would
foot the bills. l am also the heir to
an estate valued at $4,000, upon the
death of my uncle in London, so you
see that the burglary game was not a
necessity on my part

John Jacob Aston, pioneer Of Oregon

erect a statue to Astor, who founded

ciety.
The New York society mas appointed

the course of a few weeks on the pro-
posed statue, and which will make sug-
gestions as to the best mode Of pro-

financing of the undertaking.
Professor Edmond S. Meany of the

LkBORER BLOWN TO ATOMS
ThaWing Powder Over a Fire, L
Exp|odes.
FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR THE DAllEs
PART OF BODY HURLED INTO
RIVER-FOOT FOUND 200
YARDS AWAY.

Literally obliterated was the fate
that befell K. Polk laborer on the
north bank road this morning, and
the only portion Of his body found af-
ter an explosion was the left foot and
a small strip of skin, states The
Dalles Chronicle.
About 1880 o'clock the men were
working at a point just above the
Rorick barn, where they are putting
in nine coyote holes. Polk had not
profited by the fate of other laborers.
and was thawing powder over an open
fire, when the usual result took place
and he was simply blown to atoms,
and but two evidences that man had
been any place near when the explo-
sion took place were found. Though
pieces of clothing and a shoe were
picked up, his companions searched a
long while before they discovered any
portion of the unfortunate mans body.
About 200 yards away foot was found
blown off just above the ankle, and
200 yards further a small strip of skin,
1t is supposed the remainder of the
body was thrown into the river $50
yards away. Picking up the foot
Mark Rorick consigned it to the same
grave.
Inside the coyote hole, the top of
which was blown off, was another
workman, who lodged back and saved
his life, though he was stunned.
Polk was about 80 years of age and
has a wife and mother in Southern
Austria. He had been out here six
years and had saved about $3.50 which
he had in postoffice orders ready to
sent home. These were blown to
pieces. He also had $50 in his pocket,
in cash, only s. of which was found.

Supporting Good Cause.
Senator Ankeny said:
Il can assure you that every member
of the Washington state delegation is
earnestly supporting the good cause
The senator speaks of receiving
many letters and kilograms from vari-
GUS parts of the state supporting this
measure and says that they will have
a great effect.
He says further:
1T is quite essential that explana-
tons of this kind be presented. 1t
should be borne in mind that congress
moves slowly because of multitude
nous demands from all parts of the
country.
Il feel, however, that satisfactory
progress is being made toward this
and a number of the worthy projects
of the state of ashingtOn and that
continuance of this movement will
ultimately bring appropriations which
will at least in measure meet the
demands of the people,
Representative Jones says:
Il have watched with interest the
campaign you have been making in
eastern Washington. l do not believe
that the people of eastern Washington
could do anything that would more
promote the interests of open naviga-
ton of the Columbia river than that
which you are advocating and any
thing can do to assist in the matter
shall be done gladly"
