H. A. Owen, known throughout the territory as "Chloride Jack" was taken to the hospital few days ago seriously ill. Mir. Owen is said to be suffering from dropsy and his condi- tion is alarming. Many years ago Hiram Owen was known all over the Pacific coast as miner, prospector and promoter. He was one of the discov- erers of the famous McCracken mine, which in few years produced about 4,OOO, ,OOO$ in silver and was it's super intendent after it passed into the hands of the big San Francisco con- pany. Several years ago he sold his interest in a group of mines in the Santa Maria district, which netted him good sized sum of money. But the many thousands of dollars have gone and in his old age he is "broke" and incapacitated from work. The friends of his better days, and there are many, will regret to learn of the illness of "ChlOride Jack.''

A wreck occurred near the east end yard limits last Sunday morning, about four o'clock, west bound train crash ing into the rear end of another freight. The second freight crew claimed that the flagman had not gone out far enough to bring the big train to a stop on the heavy grade until it had wrecked the caboose and one car of the first train. The wrecked cars caught fire and were destroyed. The crew had hard time saving the train. heavy wind blowing from the north and drifting the flames along the train The head end of the big decapod en- zine was in the flames and got good scorching, but was not materially in- jured. The loss was one caboose and two Sox cars, with their contents.

This will be the largest furnace ever erect ed in Arizona, having capacity of three times that of those now in use.

The funeral of the late Lew Chung, merchant and Prescott's oldest Chi nese resident, took place yesterday af- ternoon under the auspices of the To- cal Chinese Masonic lodge, of which deceased was a member. The funeral was conducted with the usual oriental pomp and was one of the most impos- ing affairs of the kind ever had in Prescott. After the usual elaborate ceremonies in front of the Chinese Temple the procession started for the Citizens cemetery. The remains re- posed in an elegant casket in Ruff ner's handsome hearse which was drawn by four coal black steeds cov- cred with stately funeral trappings. The Prescott brass band discoursed funeral music of the white race while following the hearse was the Chinese band with it's babel of inharmonious noises. A Chinaman on a white horse rode in front of the procession along the line of which the great dragon banner and other lesser Chinese ban ners were in evidence. A wagon bore the earthly effects of deceased to the burial ground to be burned while another vehicle transported the roast pig, chicken and other substantial edibles to be left on the grave of de- ceased to prevent the departed spirit from growing hungry on it's journey to that land where color, previous con- dition and vocation are not met by an exclusion act. The ceremonies at the grave were solemn and impressive and were witnessed by many of our citi- zens. As the funeral attendants filed out of the cemetery grounds three eel estials stood at the gates and handed each person ten cents, wrapped in piece of colored paper.-Courier.

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
HONOLULU WATER QUESTION

The Legislature is to have a try at
the water question and will probably
begin by appointing committees to in
vestigate the Nuuanu dam.
There are two important questions
involved" said a Senator yesterday,
either of them sufficient to warrant a
closer investigation than the average
layman can give. One Senator is of
the opinion that there is graft, that
the construction is not according to
specifications, nor anything else, and
because of this someone has had a
drag that savors of Tweed or
Schmitz."
But the man who in his innermost
conscience believes this to be the case
has no direct evidence that it is so
and can only point to a mud fill and
say 1t does not appear to be strong, or

IMPRESSIONS OF
HARRY ORCHARD
journalists Give Analysis
Of Situation From Their
Point Of View


Harry Orchard was interviewed last
week by the syndicate of newspaper
men who have come to Boise to report
the great trial and the Impressions
they received of the man and his con-
nection with the case was heralded all
over the country. The publication of
the story of the interview created a
remarkable incident in the trial and
sensational charges were made con-
corning 1t, but the Investigation failed
to prove that 1t was other than 1t pur-
ported to be q scoop due wholly to the
energy Of the representatives Of the
great metropolitan dailies that are
working hard to cover every possible
detail Of the case IN which the whole
nation seems to have taken an inter-
est.
The Boise Statesman has been able
to get at first hand some Of the Inn
pressions from the newspaper cores
pondents and among these publishes

Has balanced Liis Rooks.

Has Balanced His Books.
Harry Orchard has balanced his
books. 1t has been long and weary
hours are visible upon the face Of the
bookkeeper. But the task is finished
at last. Harry Orchard knows what
he owes to the people Of America and
to his own conscience and he has de-
termined to pay the bill. 1t may be
that in the currency of reparation he
has not the wherewithal to settle with
his creditors, but that he is willing to
bankrupt himself in the, effort to do
so there Is no manner Of doubt. This,
at all events is the impression which
carried away with me from the half
hours talk had with him yesterday
at the state penitentiary.
Harry orchard is said to be today a
very different person from the man
who entered the prison 16 months and
more ago. It is easy to believe it.
Today, at least, he is strong in body.
keen of mind, serene Of spirit, master
of himself and all his purposes. What
he said in the Interview of yesterday
is told elsewhere in this newspaper. 1t
is not necessary to repeat it here But
it may be of interest to record the i'm
preston that he made upon one of
those who saw him after these many
months of a seclusion which he is
soon to leave for the fierce light that
beats upon the witness chair.
OF course, the clearness of Orchards
mind and the vigor of his body are
all Of importance and interest, but the
most vitaN thing of all Is the attitude
of his mind toward the task ana lies
just before him. That whatever he has
said or done since his confinement be-
gan has been done or said voluntarily
and without coercion or Inducements.
he gave his word In my hearing. /
believe his statement implicity-no
because know anything of his credi-
bility but because the man is con-
vincing. 81
Whatever the Harry Orchard of De-
cember 80. 1906, may have been, men
who. look like the Harry Orchard Of
May Is. 1905, are men who tell the
truth. There is conscience behind
those blue, unfaltering eyes Of his.
How It came to be there, how it ger
minated, how 1t grew. is a story that
will some time be told. But that time
is not yet.
The day on which Harry Orchard
takes the witness stand in the little
court house in Jefferson street will be
q day long to be remembered in Boise
and America. And 1t viii be remem-
bered quite as much for the man him
self as for the story that he tells.
