PAVING STARTS AT SALEM.
Warren Construction Company VIII
Begin an Extensive Contract.


Active preparations are going on
at the vacant lots near the intersec-
ton of Bellevue and Winter streets,
for the installation of the Warren
Construction company's paving plant,
which was brought from Eugene,
says the Salem Statesman. A visit to
the grounds yesterday found many
workmen actively engaged in putting
the machinery together that had been
taken apart in transit, such as the
boilers and smokestacks. The paving
plant required four cars to bring 1t
to Salem and includes a mixer of gi-
ant proportions, steam roller and
rock crusher, and when In full blast
will be able to turn out prepared ma
terial sufficient to pave 1000 yards Of
street a day, and because of this the
paving company has continued to pile
up rock at the intersection Of Liberty
and Court streets, knowing that the
material will diminish rapidly when
actual paving begins.
A spur of track is being laid on
Bellevue street from the Yew park
line on Winter street to the paving
plant, so that all materials may be
handled without loss of time. About
so men will be employed In the work
at the plant and on the street

Two trainmen were injured, about
so head of beef cattle killed and II
cars demolished in a freight wreck in
Vansycle canyon on the Northern
Pacific's Pasco-Pendleton branch
Saturday evening. The trainmen
were the fireman, who needlessly
| Jumped from the cab, and a brake
man. who was hurled from the top
of freight car and badly bruised.
The train wrecked was the north
bound freight which left here at
6:55 Saturday evening. 1t was COM
posed of loaded wheat and cattle
cars. the cattle being a shipment
made from here to the Frye-Bruhn
company of Seattle. The train was
in charge of Conductor Springer,
while Engineer Clark was at the
throttle. The crew were new men
upon the branch line and had just
been brought from the N. P. main
| line
As the heavy train was running
down the grade north of Vansycle
the train got beyond control of the
crew and the air refused to work.
All hands then began setting the
hand brakes, but the train was going
at such speed that they were of lii
ftie use.
While the train was going at full
speed down the grade the cars began
to jump from the track, some going
to the right and some to the left.
Five of the cattle cars and IL wheat
cars went pell nell into the ditch.
All were so badly demolished that
they are now nothing but old iron
and splinters.
While the train was on its wild run
Fireman Jack CARRIER jumped from
the cab. 'and was badly injured by
his fall. He was struck upon the
head and badly bruised about the
body. He was unconscious when
found and remained so for several
hours
The Injured brakeman, whose name
is unknown TO the other trainmen,
was hurled from the top of box car
while trying to set a hand brake. He
was likewise hurt by his fall. Both
men have been taken % the N. p,
hospital at Tacoma.
When the cattle cars went into the
ditch so head of the cattle were kill
ed outright and many others so bad
ly crippled that they had to be kill
ed. The remainder of the herd were
driven into Hunts Junction.
According to those who came In
on the southbound mixed train to-
day the scene at the wreck is terrible.
The track was blocked for a time,
but was soon cleared by a wreckinS
crew. However, on either side of the
track the demolished freight cars

Baker City, Ore, Oct. IA cru
sade for the closing Of gambling In
Baker City was started here last
evening when the ministers of the
various churches of the city preached
sermons advocating such a step. It
had been previously announced that
the subject of CLOSING the town"
would be discussed by the ministers
and most of the churches were we'll
filled by those who wished to hear
the plan of the reform workers.
1t was announced that a census OF
the people of the city will be taken
by the church people in order to as
certain the sentiment upon the SUBJ
ject. Those desiring the laws en-
forced will be placed on record ac-
cordingly, while those wishing to see
present conditions continue will be
allowed to express themselves also. A
third class, composed of those who
have no opinions or refuse to take
stand. will also be kept
Under the present administration
of affairs Baker City is a wide open
town in every sense of the word.
Gambling is carried on in nearly every
saloon without restriction. Slot ma
chimes, roulette tables and other par
aphernalia adorn the bar Of the
Geiser Grand as well as nearly every
other resort in the city.
On Sundays the front doors of the
saloons are closed and open gam
bling games are not conducted. But
at other times, both day and night
Baker City is as it was in the days
of old before Harvey X. Brown was
sheriff and brought the gambling eIe-
ment under subjection.
As result of the open town Baker
City is filled with gamblers, tinhorns
and cappers galore. Especially were
they noticably present during the
past week while the races have been
on. The presence of these men have
had much to do with the feeling that
has been aroused against the "open
town" policy
But there is another thing that has
caused many Bakeries to wish for
cleaner municipal conditions and may
have much influence in the present
crusade for purity. 1t was the death
of ex-Sheriff Brown. That tragedy
though few if any attributes to the
element, has sobered Baker
City. The funeral of Brown was one
of the most impressive affairs ever
held in the city, and it is fact that
among both the friends and former
enemies of the deceased officer there
is genuine sorrow over his death.
The fact that Brown stood for the
enforcement of the law against gam
bling and was personally clean and
honorable tends to crystalize the SEN
timent for law and order and it may
prove that in death the influence OF
Harvey X. Brown is greater than 1t
was during his life time.
Can't Find MurdererS.
From inside circles here it is stat
ed positively that thus far no clew
worthy the name has been found to
the man or men who set the bomb
for Brown. Though several arresta
have been made they have produced
of value as yet and most Of
the stories circulated regarding clews

that you be confined In the peniten-
tiary for a period of Is years and
pay a fine of $1,000"
Thus spoke Circuit Judge Bean
this morning In passing sentence up
on James Sawyer, convicted of man
slaughter for the killing of Jack
Monee. II was the penitentiary linn
II for the crime OF manslaughter.
Nine o'clock this morning had been
set as the time for passing sentence
upon Sawyer and at that time he was
brought into court. He took a seat
between his lawyers, Colonel Raley
and w. c. Z: Pruitt.
James Sawyer you will stand up"
ordered the court and Sawyer arose.
"This is the. time fixed for passing
sentence upon you for the crime Of
manslaughter. OF which you have
been convicted. Have you anything
to say, either by yourself or counsel,
why sentence should not now be pass
ed upon your"
81 have not, your honor" answer
ed Sawyer.
But at this juncture Attorney Pru-
lit addressed the court and made a
brief plea for leniency for his client.
But moment later II became evident
that the plea had been OF no avail.
81 think you have had a fair and
an impartial trial, as you should have
had" said Judge Bean in passing
sentence. "It seems strange to the
court that a young man should get
himself into such difficulty. Posi-
bly, nothing that the court can say
will be of any assistance to you. But
II is my advice that you forget the
past and commence anew. Let your
conduct in the penitentiary be good
and try to educate yourself for the
better and not the worse"
The fifteen year term was then
administered and Sawyer remanded
to the custody of the sheriff. A mo-
ment later he was taken below by
Deputy Blakeley.
McCarty Is Guilty
After eight hours of balloting the
jury in the ease of Mike McCarty
brought In verdict of guilty Satur-
day evening. 1t was o'clock in the
evening when the agreement was
reached
McCarty was accused of having
robbed ]. p. McManus after having
lured his victim to room In the Idle
Hour lodging house while he was in
toxicated last February. Though the
state was unable to present its full
case because OF its inability to bring
"Doc" Rudd here from Walla Walla
to testify, yet the evidence was suffi-
cient for the jury.
Under the law MoCarty's sentence
may vary from term In the county
Jail to seven years in the penitentiary.
He was convicted of larceny from
the person. Time for sentence has
been sent for Tuesday morning at g
o'clock.

The trial of Ralph McBain for

forenoon in court. however, at the
appointed time It was found impos-
sible to proceed with the case be-
cause of the absence OF the defend
ant
When the McBain case was called

would like the case continued until
