Trolley Line Proves Great Aid to
Freewater Shippers.

Freewater The several packing

will now begin on the apple crop
Over 100 carloads of fruit, chiefly
prunes, peaches, pears and plums, have
been shipped from here during the past
20 days over the O. r. 4 N. and the
Walla Walla Valley trolley line via
the Northern Pacific.
The shippers say that since the ad.
vent of the traction company and their
ability to furnish Northern Pacific re-
frigerator cars, troubles have ended re-
garding the securing of cars as the o.
r. & N. agents have "loosened up'
wonderfully, and even take the trouble
to call up the growers over the long
distance telephone to ask if they can
supply them cars. Such state Of
affairs has heretofore been unknown in
this city, and Of course the shippers
it.
The apple crop is good one and top
notch prices have already been offered
and accepted. The apple trees have
been well sprayed this year and the
good derived thereby is already showing
itself by the absence of scale. There
will be over 100 Car loads of apples
from this point. Hay shipments are
becoming general, the ranchers con-
signing their hay to points on Puget
sound where prices are good.
Harvesting has begun on the third
alfalfa crop which promises to be above
the average yield.

Fine Showing at University.

University of Oregon, Eugene-The
University of Oregon opened its doors
Tuesday, September "a. The first and
second days registration has shown
an increase of more than 20 per cent
over the registration of the same time
last year. Almost every high school
and academy in the state is represent
ed, and large number are presenting
credentials from Eastern preparatory
schools. The year will mark the high
est point in enrolment that the uni
versity has yet reached. The very SER
ious question that is presenting itself
is how to take care of all students. The
lack of funds has made it impossible to
furnish and heat all OF the rooms in
the library building, and for the same
reason, the new girls dormitory will
have to lie idle for the year. Students,
however, are adjusting themselves
readily to the conditions, and the out
look for the years work is exception
ally good.

the cars, total of 240, 900 pounds will
have been sent to Milwaukee by the
end of this week. The local finn seeks
to purchase sufficient seed to make out
a shipment of seven carloads with a
total valuation of about $25, 900. This
opens up new market for the clover
seed raised in this section and will
have tendency to strengthen the local
market and bring the top price to the
valley growers. 1t is said that the
supply is not equal to the demand and
that lucrative business awaits grow
ers who will specialize in the growing
of clover for seed purposes.

Federal Grand Jury at San Francisco
Finds I24 Counts.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The Fede-
raj grand jury yesterday returned five
indictments of 124 counts against the
Southern Pacific company and the Pa
eitic Mail Steamship company charging
violations of the interstate commerce
law. These indictments, if followed by
convictions, are sufficient to render the
corporations liable to fines aggregating
from 1924, 600 to 81, 48o 900, the mini
mum fine prescribed by law on each
count being 81 900 and the maximum
fine $4,000.
The defendant corporations are ac-
cused of secretly cutting to 81 the pub
lished rate of 81. .25 on through ship
ments of mating from Kobe, Japan, to
San Francisco and thence through the
United States. Two indictments of
eight counts each were returned against

PLAN TO HIT HARD.
Telegraphers Want to Call Out Leased
Wire Men.

Chicago, Oct. l.-More aggressive
warfare against the commercial tele'
graph companies is being planned by
the striking operators. At their meet
ing today Chairman Likes announced
that within few days the companies
would realize that they were in a real
fight. The suggestion from New York
that all operators working leased wires
be called out was vigorousl y applauded
President Small, who left the city
Friday night with a lot of documentary
evidence against the telegraph compan-
les, was in Washington today on a Sc.
cret mission. 1t leaked out that the
visit Small made to st. Louis Thursday
was for the purpose of meeting Com
missioner of Labor Neill, who was in
that city at the time. 1t is said that
Commissioner Neill is reluctant to
take up the trouble until it is definite
ly decided who has power to settle for
the operators. So far each city has
been looking after its own strike, and
no one has been empowered to propose
terms of peace.
Commissioner Neill is said to be
ready to call on the companies provid-
ed he is given assurance that any set
tlement he may make will be accepted
by the men on strike, 1t is said that
within few days vote of the various
unions will be taken to place the entire
question of a settlement in the hands
of the national executive board.

BORAH JUROR ILL.
Possible That Sickness May Block
Idaho Land Fraud Trials.

Boise, Sept. 3O.-Peter Meth, one OF
the jurors 'empaneled to try United
States Senator w. E. Borah, was taken
violently i'll last night and it is said his
indisposition may stop the trial, al
though this cannot be definitely told
until today.
The nature of Neths illness is being
carefully withheld, but one Of the gov
ernment's counsel said last night that
he believed Meth to be suffering from
temporary mental arrangement due to
the excitement of the trial.
Many rumors were afioat last night
as to Neth's condition but no authora-
tive statement was given out. The
day following his acceptance as juror
Mr.. Meth asked many questions of
Judge Whitson as to whether buying
improved homestead property consti-
tuted a crime. He speaks English
rather brokenly and but little atten-
tion was paid to him.

Oppose Breaking Contract.

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Three members

Telegraphers' union declared today
that they would vote against calling a
strike of union operators employed in
broker and newspaper offices, in which
event, being majority of the board,
the request Of the striking New York
operators will be refused. No official
action has been taken, for the reason
that no communication has yet been re-
ceived from the New York local.

Spokane, Oct. 1.-Hillyard, the
Great Northern's town just beyond the
city limits Of Spokane, is agog today
over the building of what bears all the
earmarks of a stockade in the company's g
yards, presumably forathe housing of
strike breakers from the East. Com
pany officials refuse to discuss the high
board fence that has arisen in a day
and night, but the strikers now claim
that the coming Of strikebreakers will
cause walkout of the machinists. AL

WANT HOME RULE.
Vote at Alaska Primaries Was Prac-
ticalIy Unanimous,

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1.-Bringing
with him defiance of anything Governor
Wilford B. Hoggatt said to the contra
ry, Tom Gale, long term delegate
to the national congress from Alas
ka, arrived in town today from
Nome on board the steamship
Northwestern. Gale is emphatic in de-
claring that 80 per cent of the residents
of the northland are anxious for home
rule and are standing on their demand
for some sort of legislation by the ma
tional lawmakers whereby Alaska shall
be freed from the chains which now
hamper her progress.
Gale has been all over the territory
and has kept in touch with the poll
ticians and with the citizens. The
primaries were just over when Gale left
Nome, and he says that the majority
cast for home rule was practically
unanimous. He has with him a rough
draft of bill which will be introduced
into the next congress by United States
Senator Samuel H. Piles and which, it
is hoped, will become law. If it does
it is calculated to remove the legisla-
tive swaddling from Alaska,
While Delegate Gale does not 60 into
details regarding the claims of Cover
nor Hoggatt, he went so far as to say
that the governors oft repeated asser-
tions regarding the antipathy to home
rule in Alaska are creatures Of his own
desires, and of the desires of the big
mining interests, toward whom Cover
nor Hcggatt is declared to be extremely
friendly

LINK OF ROCK ISLAND.
Mt. Hood Railroad Headed for Salt
Lake City.

| GoNO SVTs
Portland, Sept. 30.-There is abund.
ant reason to believe that Portland and
Salt Lake are soon to be connected by
new link in transcontinental rail.
road chain that is to be forged as fast
as labor and sufficient capital can COM
plete the task.
Concealed behind the seemingly local
electric line enterprise Of the Mount
Hood Railway & Power company are
said to be the matured plans for the
Salt Lake project, backed by the mil.
lions of Senator w. A. Clark and his
associate interests. f. P. Clark, Of
Los Angeles, directing genius OF the
Mount Hood road, who gave his per-
sonal attention to the initial work done
in Portland, came to the Pacific North
west as the personal representative Of
his distinguished namesake.
With the secrecy that smacks of the
previous conquests Of George Gould,
but which, it is believed by persons
we'll advised, is in reality the linking
of the Rock Island system and the
Moffat railroad between Denver and
Salt Lake City, the plans for the new
road into Portland have been practi-
cally completed. Though it has been
denied, and will be denied again, it can
be asserted with confidence that the
site of the Inman & Poulsen Lumber
company yards and docks between East
Sherman and East Caruthers streets
will the be water front terminal of the
new line. Practically all details for
the entrance of the road to the city
have been concluded and meanwhile
engineering parties have completed the
location across to the Eastern slope of
the Cascades, thence southeasterly to-
ward Central Nevada to the eastern
terminus at Salt Lake City.
1t may surprise some engineers to
learn that a route has been found by
which the line will make gradual as
cent of Mount Hood, to the southeast of
that eminence and through to the upper
Deschutes on compensating grade of
less than l per cent, but such is fact
and the construction crews already en-
gagged in the vicinity of Bull Run and
between that point and Fairview will
be rapidly advanced along the route go
that considerable of the heavier part of
the work will probably be completed
during the winter months.
APPROACHING the Deschutes at point
not far from the mouth Of Warm
Springs creek, it will follow up the
Deschutes, cross the spur of Walkers
ange and thence proceed in a south
:rly course to the drainage of Sprague
liver and thence up that stream to the
southeast, through the Klamath Indian
eservation and thence in nearly di-
ect line to Winnemucca.
The main line will be built with re-
ard to the shortest mileage and best
QUITE, while branches are projected to
ap the irrigated districts OF Crook,
Klamath and Lake counties, but these
re to follow the completion of the
through line which is just at present
he objective feature of the entire en-
erprise.
Engineers have been over the route
epeatedly, parties having easily main
aimed the secret of their purpose and
york because of the activity of the
hartman system engineers in the
anne territory.

Correspondence Produced in Borah
Land Fraud Case.
Man Who Will Turn States Evidence
Underwent KALEIDOSCOPE Changes
of Mind and Called for Borah's
Help-Spe cuIator Did Not Always
Trust Steurenberg.

Boise, Sept. 2S.--Half score of let
ters which the government attorneys in
the trial of Senator William f. Borah
declare go to show the completely of ex-
Governor Steunenberg in the alleged
timber land fraud conspiracy were in
troduced in evidence late yesterday and
read to the jury. The letters were
written by William Sweet, cne of the
indicted men, who, it is reported, will
take the stand as witness for the
United States. The documents were
produced by J. H. Richards, the local
attorney, to whom they were written
and who acted as legal adviser to
Sweet.
Most of the letters were dated from
New York and Boston and several of
them were replies to letters or tele-
grams urging him to return to Idaho.
81 can't see why should come back
unless it is in regard to timber, and
that is all in the governors hands,"
wrote Sweet in one of his notes. Then
he proceeded:
"As to the money coming to me, put
it in the bank. | have absolute faith
in the governor. He came to my assist
ance and helped me out Of mess
never ought to have got in. / don't
know what l would have done if it had
not been for the governor"
In another letter Sweet gave the
amounts he was Gin" on the timber
deal. The total amount was about
500, 900, including $1,000 note signed
by himself and steunenberg. Shortly
after this Sweet wrote to his attorney
that he had read in the papers of a
timber inspector being sent to Idaho.
Borah's name was drawn into the
case for the first time just before ad-
journment, when Henry S. Workman,
another local attorney, took the stand
and produced more letters from Sweet.
In one letter to Workman he wrote:
Richards used his power of attor.
ney to turn all my money, 10000,
over to Steunenberg, and it is like
pulling cat through a stocking to get
it back. I wish you would see w. E..
Borah about this and get him to make
a little statement of the governors OBJ
legation to me. He is the governors
attorney, but is first class gentleman
and knows a little statement is only
