DYNAMITE BOMB USED.
Oregon Man Blown Up in Same Man.
ner as Steunenberq.

Baker City, Ore, Oct. An at
tempa was made to assassinate former
Sheriff Harvey E. Brown at his home
in this city by blowing him up with a
dynamite bomb. Mr. Brown is at the
hospital in a critical condition. One
OF his legs was blown of, one of his
arms badly mutilated and internal in
juries were caused by the conclusion.
The outrage was similar in manner of
execution to that which resulted in
the death of former Governor Frank
H. steunenberg at Caldwell, Ida.
Mr. Brown was returning home and
as he opened his gate the bomb ex-
ploded, wounding Mr.. Brown and
blowing in the windows of his house.
The explosion was heard in the cen,
ter Of town, half a mile away.
The chief of police and county au.
thorities are wholly unable to fathom
any cause for the deed and they are
also unable to obtain any clue to the
perpetrators of it.
Mr.. Brown had just returned from
trip out of town to some mining prop
erty. He was found lying on the side
walk several feet from the gate, the
large posts of which were blown to
pieces and the fence shattered for
some distance. The perpetrators left
no trace of their deed except a wire
which extended about twenty-five feet
north along the fence and then went
about thirty feet to the middle of
the road.

MOFFETT TELLS HIS STORY
Testimony Followed by Subpoena for
Railroad Man.

Railroad Man.
Chicago, Oct. James A. Moffett,
president of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, went before the fed
eral grand jury to explain his pub
nshed statement that other concerns
besides the Standard Oil company
had been guilty Of rebating with the
railroads at Whiting, Ind. It was be-
lieved that his testimony before the
jury would consume several hours.
When the grand jury adjourned at
noon for recess until o'clock Mr..
Moffett was still being questioned by
District Attorney Sims and Assistant
District Attorney Wilkerson. Imme-
diately after the adjournment District
Attorney Sims issued subpoena for
F. S. Hollands, chief rate clerk for the
Chicago and Alton railroad, It was
rumored that Hollands would be asked
to furnish information following up
that supposed to have been given by
Mr.. Moffett concerning alleged con-
cessions to other shippers than the
Standard Oil company.
It is said that Mr.. Moffett main
tanned that the acts of his company,
as we'll as other shippers, were not
violations of the law. He is said to
have claimed that the other shippers
made shipments over the same roads
as the Standard Oil company and un-
der the same conditions After fur
nishing the jurors with the names Of
these shippers Mr. Moffett is reported
to have specified what roads had been
handling the shipped products.

Snow in ''Sunny Alberta"

In a letter from Mrs. Wallace
Askey of Pincher Creek, Alberta,
says the Thief River Falls News,
there is news of serious and severe
snow storm in that region. The
storm occurred Sept. II and con-
tinued for fifteen hours with great
severity. The snow was more than
a foot and a half deep and the lady
stated that in her judgment, the
crop would be ruined thereby. In
the meantime, the good citizens of
old Todd are enjoying some of the
best Indian summer weather to be
found on earth and the farmers are

MAJOR SKUNK TAKES
TRIP UP the RIVER
Continued from First Page

the land extending under the bed of
the stream.
DEMANDS FOR NAVIGATION BY CRAFT:
There is not above Bemidji, any
city or village ON either stream. The
settlers have never used either stream
for purposes other than floating logs.
Only pleasure crafts propelled by
small gasoline engines attempt to
pass up the Mississippi as far as the
junction of the SchC oil craft or as far
as Lake Plantagnet, and only few
attempt this.
THE AMOUNT OF TIMBER OR FLOAT
ABLES TRIBUTARY TO THESE WATERS:
Comparatively very little timber
suitable for saw logs remains uncut
tributary to the upper portion Of
these rivers. Up the Schoolcraft
there are only small pieces of scat
terring timber, settlers timber, prin-
cipally jack pine, very little white or
Norway pine. None of the large
lumber companies have any timber
there. There is none tributary to
the Mississippi itself except that
belonging to the state in the Itasca
State Park. Upon LaSalle, branch
Of the Mississippi, there is some tim
Der owned by a lumber company,
about eight million feet, which will
be removed during the next two
seasons. There is a quantity Of
small pieces owned by settlers, con-
sisting principally of jack pine. The
state will cut the dead and down,
the matured timber on the state
park each year which will amount
to from one to two million and a
half feet. This timber is not tribu-
tary to any railroad and there is no
market for it except delivered upon
the banks of the river. There is no
means of transporting this timber
out of this territory except upon the
respective rivers. If the owners of
the small quantities of timber now
standing and the owners of the
small tracts of timber upon their
different homesteads are practically
denied the right to use the School,

logging continues to lessen and the
number of feet of logs decreased.

logging continues to lessen and the
number of feet of logs decreased.
NECESSITY OF SORTING GAP AT THE
INLET OF LAKE IRVINE:
Owing to the fact that there are
many settlers who desire to bank logs
up these rivers and the fact that
different settlers will sell to different
lumber companies, and that all these
logs are driven down these streams
together, it becomes necessary at
some point to sort them, and there
is only one place where this can be
done and that is at the inlet to Lake
Irvine. Sorting works are there
maintained for that purpose and
have been so maintained for many
years. When in use the sorting
works are perhaps an obstruction to
navigation by boat, but it is never
in use except when logs are running
down the stream and into the gap.
AS soon as the sorting is finished
the booms are taken away to the
place of anchorage and the boom
sticks are removed, leaving no
material obstruction.
FLOW OF WATER GRADUALLY DE-
CREASED:
Owing to the removal of timber
and the continuous increase of clear
ing and cultivation of the now
wooded tracks in the future the
water in these rivers will gradually
grow less and less each year."
w. N. Bowser was called. Mr..
Bowser stated that he had been up
the river on the North Star" on
two occasions. The first time the
North Star" was stuck on a sand
bar, and the entire party was com
PEELED to walk most of the way
home; on the second trip the boat
was also stuck half dozen times.

Lachlan. if it was not a fact that the
point that he really desired to reach
was Lake Plantanganet via the
Schoolcraft river?
Mr.. McLachlan replied that he
wanted to reach Lake Plantanganet
then meaning last summer) but
that now, he wanted to use the
Mississippi river.
In reply to question, Major
Skunk was informed that the dam

craft and Mississippi rivers, as the
case might be, to float their logs to
market, they WILDE denied the sale of
their timber. The timber is worthless
without the right to use the streams.
Many settlers are now each year
banking hundred of cords of lath
bolts four feet in lenght, to be
tloated down these streams. The
timber that they have for sale as
saw logs, is now bringing $1,000 per
thousand feet. Last year the settlers
sold and banked about SO,OOO,OOO,
giving them about $4,000. In
addition to this they were given
employment from which they re-
ceived twenty to, twenty five thou
sand dollars, and sold supplies to
those engaged in logging to the
extent of $4,000, making $105,000
paid out to the settlers along these
streams in connection with lumber
ing operations. If the use of these
streams for the purpose of driving
logs is prohibited, the settlers will
be denied this amount of money in
in the near future.
PERIOD DURING WHICH LOGS MIGHT
INTERFERE WITH NAVIGATION.
Records kept during the last
seven years disclose the fact that no
logs reach any portion of either the
Mississippi or the Schoolcraft rivers
that has been attempted to be navi-
gated by even small pleasure crafts
until June 18th to goth, and all the
logs have passed into Lake Irving out
of the stream usually before July
18th. The year 1907 was an excep-
ton. This year the logs did not
arrive as soon and were not entirely
out of the river as early as usual,
but this was owing to the fact that
the ice did not 60 out of the lake on
the upper portion of the rivers until
about May 18th, and to the fact that
the water was unusually low.
In the past large quantities of
logs amounting sometimes to about
100000 were Aoated down these
two rivers. From this time on,
there probably be not to exceed
100000 feet each year and the
period when the running of logs
will at all interfere with the passing
along the stream of small pleasure
crafts will be correspondingly less as

LUMBER TRUST INQUIRY.
Federal Grand Jury in Session at
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Oct. The federal
grand jury, which is to investigate
the alleged fraudulent use of the
mails by the so-ca]led lumber trust,
convened in this city during the day.
More than 235 witnesses were sub
poenaed. The investigation is in
charge of C. C. Haupt, United States
district attorney, Judge William H.
Munger of the federal district court OF
Nevada presiding
The so-called lumber trust is
charged with the circulation of a little
black book urging farmers and others
to ask the mail order houses for a
catalogue This is said to have been
done for the purpose of causing a
large expense to the mail order people
in furnishing catalogues to those who
do not intend to buy.

w. G. Marson asked Mr.. McLach-
Ian, if it was possible, under the
present conditions to navigate the
upper Mississippi river, beyond the
point where it is intersected by the
Schoolcraft river.
An evasive answer was given to
this question. At this point Major
Skunk adjourned the hearing. At
the conclusion of the hearing Major
Skunk and his secretary, Mr.. John
Wade, accompanied by delegation
of loggers, attorneys and representa-
tives of the Daily Pioneer boarded
the North STAR. After they had
been taken over the sand-bar and
went for trip up the much dis
cussed river-the Father of Waters"
The top was removed from the boat
and the trip under the bridges made
safely and without jeopardizing the
life and limb of anyone aboard.
After the boat had passed the sort
ing-gap and gone about two hundred
feet up the Mississippi, sandbar
was encountered and it took Com
modore McLachlan and all hands
aboard, to loosen the craft from the
bottom of the river.
BY series of successful maneuv-
ers, the boat was steered clear of
sandbars and went as far as the
junction of the Missippi and the
Schoolcraft rivers.
Mr.. McLachlan pleaded lack of
time, to proceed further up the Mis-
sissippi, turned his boat around and
made the return trip. After the
boat had passed under the bridges,
between Lakes Irvine and Bemid il,
it ran into the sand bar, where the
Mississippi flows into Lake Bemid il,
and was grounded good and hard,
and Major Skunk and his secretary
were given very impressive lesson,
by the fact that the bottom of the
so called navigable stream was pro-
truding through the surface of the
water for a considerable length of
the entire channel, through which
A. B. Allen and others testified they
had gone over many times and never
observed.
After lot of strenuous labor by
all on board, the boat was backed
up to the landing at the bridge and
all got off.
Ma jor Skunk will make his report
to the officials at Washington, to-
gether with his recommendation as
to what will be done.
