day afternoon and presented their
petition asking the commissioners I'd

The vets contended that certain

no option but to call an election.
The board held an adjourned session
last night in the courthouse and the
room was crowded with interested
listeners. Attorneys Green and r. l.

Struck BY Deadly Bomb.

PORTLAND, ORE, Oct. IA special
dispatch to the Telegram from Baker
City says that former Sheriff Harvey
X. Brown, who was horribly injuerd
last evening by the explosion of a
bomb at the gate o. his home in
Baker City, is still alive, but there is
no chance for his ultima ate recovery.
He regained consciousness for q brief
period during the day but was still
deaf from the effects of the explosion,
and soon relapsed into insensibility,
from which state he will probably not
again arouse.
Thus far there is no definite trace
of the identity Of the man who caused
the explosion. Whether Brown was
the victum OF men made hostile by his
crusade against saloon men and
gamblers while he was sheriff OF
whether he was the victim of o.he,
enemies is not yet definitely known.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
President Roosevelt Favors Improve.
ment Of Navigable Rivers.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.-Accompanied by
the governors of ten states and met at
this city by a tremendous aotilla of
boats, President Roosevelt reached
here early this morning. He was for.
mally welcomed by Governor Folk,
the mayor and city council and q host
of citizens and given a military escort
upon landing. Later he delivered an
address to 5000 people while thous.
ands more were unable to get within
sound of his voice.
The president in his address dwelt
upon a number of topics. He said:
The growth OF the railway system
has been rapid all over the world, but
nowhere as rapid as in the United
States. Accompanying this there has
grown in the United States a tendency
toward the practically complete aban-
donment of the system of water trans.
portation. Such a tendency is GER
tainly not healthy and I am convinced
that 1t will not be permanent. There

From every standpoint it is desira-
BILE for the nation TO Join in improving

the highways of the Mississippi and
its great tributaries, such as the Mis-.
souri, and Ohio. This river system
%traverses too many states to render it
possible to leave merely to the states
the task for fitting it for the greatest
use of which it is capable. 1t is en-
phatically a national task, for this
great river system is itself one of our
chief national assets.
