BITULITHIC ADOPTED.
Eugene Turns Down the Paving Of
the Asphalt Trust.


The Eugene Guard says of the
adoption of the bitulithic paving for
that city:
Mayor wilkins and the members
of the city council who went to Port
land one day last week to examine
the different kinds of pavement in
use on the streets there, with a view
Of determining which is the best ma
terlal to be placed on Eugene's streets
have returned.
While there has been no public
expression Of the decision of the par
ty, If there has been any made, it is
understood that all are of the opin-
ion that the bitulithic pavement Is
the host, and at the meeting of the
council tomorrow night 1t will be de-
cided to use that material.
The bitulthic has been in use in
Portland for the past four years and
has given splendid satisfaction there.
On one street where the traffic is
heavier than on any other street in
the city the bitulithic has stood fol-
four years without the expenditure
of one cent for repairs, and 1t now
appears to be as good as when 1t was
put down.
1t is said the cost Of laying thi'
pavement in Eugene will be less thar
in Portland because OF the cheap
ness of crushed rock here, and it will
no doubt last longer here than II

MAY CLEAR STEVE ADAMS.
Crazy Miner startles the Court With
"Confession."

A special from Wallace, Idaho, says
of the development of the Adams mur-
der trial:
1T is the heart that moves the
hand. am the man that killed Fred
Tyler. Turn all these other fellows
loose, for am the man that done the
deed"
This was the announcement which
startled Judge Woods court this
morning. A small dark stranger with
long black hair and a stubby beard
was standing up beside Steve Adams,
proclaiming himself guilty of the crime
for which Adams is on trial. A COM
motion followed.
Mrs. Adams burst into tears, Adams
himself turned pale. Seized by two
officers, the stranger was hurried
from the court room to the sheriffs
office. There he said his name was
Patrick c. Ryan of Butte; that he
had Just finished term in the Deer
lodge penitentiary.
After being released he said he had
gone to Burke, where Roosevelts
daughter had told him to come to
Wallace and take charge Of this case.
He said If Adams was convicted an
earthquake would destroy the Coeur
dAlene. Ryan will be committed to
the asylum. Adams says he does not
know the man.
This mornings session of the court
was taken up mainly by Coroner
Keys at the preliminary hearing, the
attorneys having agreed to this meth
cd, owing to the coroner's illness. His
testimony relates largely to the con-
dition of the body of Tyler and the
surroundings, where It was found in
the woods.
While the defense still comedies its
policy, signs have led to the prediction
that Adams attorneys will endeavor to
cast doubt on the Identification of Ty-
ler's body, and will also uphold the
theory that Adams was not in the
Marble Creek region at the time this
murder occurred. Adams is begin
ming to show some signs of the Sc
we're strain, and at times appears wor-
ried and uneasy. Mrs. Adams also has
given signs of nervousness as the
state masses its evidence.
