CUTTING 100000 TIES.
Supplies for Boise Valley Electric
Railroad Ordered,

Boise, March 29.-W. H. Gibberd,
who has contract to furnish 100, 900
ties and 100000 feet of bridge tim
bers for the Boise Valley electric road,
has been in town several days doing
service as a trial juror in the federal
court.
He will leave for the timber camp
located between the north and south
forks of the Boise river on Rattle
snake creek, three miles from where
the creek empties into the south fork.
He established camp there the first of
January and installed a sawmill with
a capacity of 10000 feet per day.
The mill is used in getting out
bridge timbers and for saving some
of the ties, though most of the latter
are hewn. About 80 men are employ
ed and already quite a quantity of
ties and timbers have been gotten out.
The timber Mr.. Gibberd said, is
being cut from the forest reserve, it
having been purchased some time ago.
1t will be floated down Rattlesnake
creek to the Boise and then down the
river to the Barber dam, where the
ties can be taken out for shipment
to points along the Boise Valley road
where needed.

San Francisco, March 29.-Being
Good Friday, there is temporary
cessation in the graft investigation so
far as the grand jury is concerned, but
Langdon, Heney and Burns set to work
early on the evidence gathered in the
Home Telephone case since the last
indictment returned, and there is every
likelihood that when the inquisitorial
board convenes tomorrow everything
will be in shape for returning an ad-
ditional true bill.
That a perjury indictment will be
returned against B. Cass of the Los
Angeles company unless he changes
his testimony, seems certain. Heney
claims he has the absolute facts that
show Cass has not told the truth.
Heney will next request District At
torney Brown of Oakland, at an early
date to begin to sift out the testimony
relating to the granting of the Home
company a franchise by the Oakland
supervisors.
Schmitz is silent on all subjects
bearing on the graft scandal and or
| the discovery of a secret vault in his
old home. He will not tell to what
! uses 1t was put. Ruef, in his new
prison, appears cheerful and express.

Los Angeles, March 29.-The New
Orleans-San Francisco limited train
on the Southern Pacific, was wrecked
at Cotton, 60 miles east of here late
yesterday evening and 25 people were
killed and half a hundred injured
more or less seriously.
The wreck was caused by an open
switch which had just been used by
the yard crew before the limited came
into the yards, The train consisted of
IA coaches, 10 of which left the rails
and four Of which were completely
demolished.
The dead are principally Italian la
borers who were in one of the de-
molished coaches. The train was an
hour late and was running at a high
rate of speed to make up time.
Both engineer and fireman jumped
Just before the crash, but were hor-
ribly scalded by escaping steam.
The Florence Roberts theatrical
company was in one of the derailed
coaches, but none of the company
were seriously injured although two
received slight bruises and were ter
ribly shaken up.

New York, March 29.-From pres
ent Indications the Thaw trial may
be resumed while intercepted. Thaw's
conduct before the commission Thurs

such that the commission could not
be otherwise than convinced OF his
sanity. II is asserted that Thaw an
swered in rational manner every
question put to him. Jerome ad-
mits there was much coherency" In
Thaw's conversations.
Peabody this morning after WIS.,
II with Traw announced the prison

any kind Of an emergency"
1t is intimated II the case is re-
sumed the defense will rest In sub
rebuttal. Immediately without the
examination Of more witnesses. In
reaching this decision Thaw's attor-
neys are guided by the belief that Je-
rome, II Thaw is pronounced sane,
will be handicapped in making an
appeal for n first degree verdict.

MEN
DISCUSS ISSUES
FREIGHT CONGESTION AND
RELATION WITH MAKERS
Freight Blockade Was the Cause OF
Considerable Loss to Jobbers and
Retailers Everywhere in the North
west-Fear Of Tieup Resulting
From Strike Sent Everybody
Home Under Fast Marching Or
ders.

After having attended a meeting of
the State Retail Furniture Dealers
association in Portland NJ. A. RAIDER
arrived home this morning. That
the convention was a very successful
and enjoyable gathering is declared
by Mr.. RAIDER and he gives the Port
land furniture men much credit for
the manner in which they entertain
ed their outside brethren. The
crowning feature of the convention
was an elaborate banquet at which
plates were laid for so.
Among other things discussed by
the furniture men at their recent con-
vent were those of freight congestion
and relations with manufacturers.
In speaking this morning regard
ing the freight situation Mr.. RAIDER
declared that much hardship is be-
ing worked on both the retail men
and the jobbers of Portland through
their inability to secure freight. All
during the past winter merchants
have gotten their goods with much
difficulty because of delays both or
the part of factories and the railroad
companies. He says the iobbers are
now anxious to secure goods and in
View of the situation do not use the
same care in buying that is ordina-
rily shown because they want every
thing they can get.
Should the threatened railroad
strike materialize the freight situa-
tion Will become much worse and
the prayer of the furniture men as
well rs others IS that a peaceful set
t!oment of the trouble will be reach
ed. According to Mr.. RAIDER several
"f the eastern Oregon furniture men
came hame with more haste than
they would have otherwise displayed
through fear of a railroad tieup.
While in Portland several of the
members received inside information
to the effect that strike was very
probable and acting upon the tip,
decided to get home before the
threatened tieup commenced.

As soon as the concrete piers can
be placed the bridge will lie thrown

consist of two 15O-fo"t steel spans.
within six weeks the grazing
work on the Umatilla Central will be
all completed" says Mr.. Brandon,
land the company itself will then
commence on the tracklayng and
tIestle work. We cNpect to have
the road completed in ample time for
handling the coming crop
Much Depot Improvement.
In his capacity az assistant engi-
neer Mr.. Brandon has general super
vision over all Of the depot changes
that are being made by the o. Il. &
y. company in this territory and
just at present some very important
work is in progress. At Spokane a
new depot is now 9S per cent COM
pleted, while the work on the new
depot at Walln Wilil is hale Gone
aud needed grading is now under
way.
At La Crande improvements con-
sisting on ar. aggregate of quarter
of a million dollars are now under
way. Among other improvements a
new power house and a modern turn
table are being installed.
Regarding depot changes at this
place Mr.. Brandon says he has thus
far received no instructions. How
ever, the new coal bunker at Bing-
ham Springs station is now COM
pleted and 1t is the supposition that
the bunkers here will be discarded
within a few weeks.

Affairs of Crook County Irrigation
Company 10 lie Investigated.

Salem. March 29.-The Columbia
Southern Irrigating company which Is
doing reclamation work in the west
crn part of Crook county and the ac-
countings of which were recently/or-
dcred examined by the state land
board by n committee consisting of
Attorney General A. NJ. Crawford
and Messrs. Il. b. King. w. +. Guer-
in, jr.. and John X. Kollock, men,
bers OF the firm Of King, Guerin &
Kolock, of Portland. has refused to
allow the attorneys representing the
interests of the Water Users associa-
tion to inspect its books and records,
but has given notice that 1t did not
object to the state land board and to
the attorney general making the ex-
animation.
Accordingly Attorney General A.
M. Crawford went to Portland yes
terday to inspect the documents, as
required in the resolution passed by
the state land board some time ago.
This action of the state land
board was made necessary by the
continuous grievances of the settlers
against the irrigating company stat
ing that 1t was not fulfilling the pro-

visions cf its contract with the set
tiers.
1t seems that the segregation made
by the company is too large for the
irrigating system provided. The wa
ter is taken from Tumello creek and
there is barely enough of supply to
reclaim the $4,000 acres 10 which
patent had been granted. The ball
ance of the segregation contains some
$4,000 acres, a large part of which
hns been sold.
