MYSTERY CLEARED.
Wrote Note Telling of His Own MUIR
de-, But Loclzman, Jr., Is Alive.

Love for the sensational caused by
reading everything he could find
along the lines of adventure, caused
John Lockman, jr., to write the note
addressed to the chief of police tell
ing of his own murder The entire
mystery has now been cleared up and
the missing boy has been heard from,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
On Actober 10 a letter to the chief
of police was found in the towel rack
in the Diamond saloon. 1t purport-
ed to be a confession of>William AL
bert Davis, claiming he had killed
John Lockman on the night of Oc-
tober 1 at Wenatchee and tnrowi his
body in the Columbia river. \
butcher knife was alleged to have
been used. The writer went on to
state that the last words Of the dy-
ins boy were Edith Speck" and
"niother."
The parents of the boy. Mr.. and
Mrs. John II. Lockman o: Harch-
field. Ore, came to the city TO in
lvestigate the matter They were
shown the note which was found and
Mrs. Lockman stated at once that
she believed the note to have been
written by her son, who was a runa-
way. She produced one Of his letters
and in comparing it the belief was
strengthened. The capital "I' was
Identical in all cases.
The last tangle in the mystery was
cleared up when Chief Rice receiv-
eI Il letter from Mrs. LocSmal OF
Marshfield under a date of Nove'n-
her /. She stated that she had just
arrived home and had round a let
ter from John dated Ravenna, Neb.,
under a date Of October 26. The
boy said he was going % New York.
He also stated that he lec' seattle
Ccirter 16, which is not believed to
te :he case, as the let. .,r was found
in Spokane October Is and he was IN
his neighboshood October l6. He
did not admit writing the letter and
made no reference to it.

his mother, and on one occasion

During the past year the o. r. &
n. company has improved its water
service on the Mountain division be-
tween Umatilla and Huntington to
trouble in securing ample water for
its large number of locomotives is
now experienced.
At Huntington an entirely new sup
ply has been secured from a new
well, giving the company plenty of
good water for engines and round
house and station use. At Durkee an
antiquated pumping plant has been
discarded and first-class gravity
system installed by piping water from
large spring three miles distant.
At Pleasant valley a new well and
larger pumping plant has been in
stalled as has been done at North
Powder, Telocaset and Kamela.
At Baker City an excellent supply
is derived from the gravity system re-
Gently installed by the city and at
La Grande the artesian well flowing
about $50 gallons per minute, has fur
nished an inexhaustible supply, al
though the pumping plant is still
maintained there to assist the well.
At Meacham an entirely new res
ervoir has been built and fine grav-
ity system has been installed while
the old pumping plant at Bingham
Springs has been discarded and good
gravity supply secured from the creek
short distance above the station.
At Huron, one of the most import
ant watering places for locomotives
on the mountains. the supply is still
short and the company Is now PLAN
ming to go up Meacham creek three
miles above and there construct a
concrete headgate and fountain in the
creek as a source of a gravity sup
ply for that place and also perhaps
for the temporary tank west of HUI
ron.
The largely increased number OF
locomotives in use now makes
larger water supply imperative and
the company has devoted large sums
and much labor to this department
the past year with the result that 1t
is now in excellent condition from
this standpoint

Two months ago during the rush
of the wheat harvest in this county
when men were needed in the worst
way and when farmers were offering
the highest wages ever known in
Umatilla county for farm hands, 1t
was common to see from 10 to 40
husky laborers sitting in the shade
along the edge of the sidewalks in
this city refusing to go to the har-
vest fields for love or money.
To add to the irritation of the sit
uation these laborers would ask the
farmers to bring the crops into the
shade where they could work near
the beer supply; they would ask how
many cows they would be required
to milk at night, how early they
would have to get up, If beer would
be furnished in the middle Of the
day when the sun was hot and other
such questions.
Here is what the Portland Orego-
nian says of the same gang which
is now centering in Portland TO pat
ronize the free soup houses during
the coming winter, depending upon
the charity Of the industrious for
their sustenance, after wasting the
summer in many instances:
A host of unemployed men has
drifted to Portland chiefly from sus-
pended railroad work Wages of la
borers are on the down grade. A
month ago men were hard to hire
at $2.75 and SO a day, but yester-
day they could not find employment
at $3.50 a day.
That wages will go down to 81
is the prediction of employment
agents, whose offices were densely
packed with men seeking work. Two
of the leading agents OF North Port
land estimated that 5000 idle men
have come to Portland within week.
Even IL they overestimated the num-
her, it was plain that there Is tre-
mendous surfeit of unemployed
hands in the city.
Most Of the men are eorc!. gers Of
southern Europe, who know little
English, and have been employed on
railroads. So densely did they pack
the sidewalks at Second and Burn
side streets and in that vic l!ty, that
one could hardly elbow his way
through the throng. Cheap lodging
houses are overflowing and the sa-
looms hold big crowds Unable to
find beds, many sit up all night in
chairs. Poolrooms and saloons are
crowded until closing time, 1 a. m,
and are quickly filled again at the
opening in the morning.
The last two or three nights have
been uncomfortably chilly and have
driven the men to the warm saloons
poolrooms and office quarters Of
lodging houses. Liquor dealers, con-
cert hall proprietors, restaurant
keepers and lodging house owners
are enjoying harvest while the mon
ey lasts. The money will not hold
out more than a week or 10 days,
and then the men will be forced to
extremeties which give the police
concern. That the throngs harbor
tough characters who would resort
to robbery and violence cannot be
doubted.

hours. When the delayed No. ar
rived, two extra coaches were sup
piled here and then occurred anoth-
er stampede. Like a Russian army
the men fairly stepped on one an
other in their anxiety to reach the
interior of the coaches.
"Grub" is issued with system. In
the depot one man, evidently their
leader, deals out the meager rations
from a large sack. There are no
runs on the sack, either. for the
commissary department is strict.

the first course last evening, and then

GETS TWO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
Rare Game Is Bagged by Harvey
Men on STEMS Mountain.

! A letter to this office from DR.. L.
E. Hibbard states that he and his
uncle, George Hibbard, had succeed
ed in bagging two fine specimens Of
mountain sheep on the STEMS noun
tain and had the goods to show for
II 1t. They were both rams, says the
Harney Times-Herald.
1t has been known for years that
"big horns" inhabited the high cliffs
Of those mountains, but no hunter
had been fortunate enough to locate
and get any of them for several
years.
During the time Mr.. Wallace was
here mounting game for our Lewis
and Clark fair exhibit it was very
much hoped we could secure a
mountain sheep for the collection,
but none could be secured at that
time. They are very scarce and the
hunter who bags any Of them may
we'll feel proud of the fact, especial
ly as it is very difficult and dan
gerous task to get up to where they
range among the high cliffs and snow
bound peaks.
The doctor states they have Sc
cured considerable other game, hav-
ing killed ducks, quail, grouse, deer,
coyotes, ETC., in abundance and we're
going on to Andred from the Alvord,
where he had considerable dental
work to do.
DR.. Hibbard is one of the real,
clean sportsmen of the Harvey coun-
try who needs no law to restrict him.
He is a lover of nature and close
observer Of the habits Of wild game.
He is an enthusiast, but never kills
for the fun of killing and is very
careful not to kill promiscuously. He
Is not in the class Of the game hog
or pot shooter" II Oregon had
several more like him the strict
game laws would hardly be necessary
as such men would instill, in the
minds Of hunters the necessity OF
preserving our game birds and ami
mails.
