A Sad Occurrence.
Communicated

On last Friday Howard Hartman. son
OF X. d. R. Hartman, of North Taze-
well, shot William Rees Whitley. son
OF Rees Whitley, from the effects of
which ne died. Young Whitley was
taken on the 1:30 D. m. train to a hos
pital at Bluefeld, but all efforts to save
MS life proved unavailing and he died
about noon Saturday, the 10th.
Inc death is exceedingly sad by rea-
son of the youthfulness of the parties
and the sympathy of the community
not only goes out to the bereaved fam
lily, but also to Mr.. Hartman and his
family, who are sorely distressed over
the sad occurrence.
Mr.. Hartman and his immediate
family are very much grieved and their
sympathy goes out to the bereaved
family with whom they have ALWAYS
oeen on terms of the warmest friend
ship and most intimate relations.
Our report of the shooting is verv
meagre, but it is known that at the
time of the killing young Hartman was
very drunk.
We are informed that Hartman and
whitley were warm friends and no diff
Guilty or words preceded the shooting.
ana from what we can learn of the af-
Ialr 1t seems to have been either an ac-
cident or else an irresponsible act due
to drunkenness.
The entire community is in gloom and
our sympathy is extended to both fam;-
lies.

MORE BAD CHARGES.

Portland. Ore. Jan. 25.-TO their as sertions that competition between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific is a thing of the past, of by-gone days. witnesses today before Franklin K Lane sitting as the interstate com merce commission. declared that the allied Hartman lines charge of a s rate on railroad ties over other grades of rough lumber has been increased by almost g per ton to San Francisco Bay and Stockton. the points where the Western Pacific railroad receives it's Oregon ties; that the passenger ac- on the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company and Southern Pacific lines are poor; that the steam ship service between Portland and San Francisco is inferior today to what it was twenty years ago, and is so poor as to greatly handicap shippers. and that discriminatiOns in rates are given to eastern shippers which enables them to pndersell a local firm in. its own territory. The charge was made in addition to poor service, that the Hartman water line to San Francisco has raised its rates so that with the of securing sailing dates To- cal shippers are compelled to use the rail route.

A BtLATtD ROAST

Kingston. Jan. 25.-Delayed) )-The lack of cooperation on the part of the government is greatly hampering the work of extending relief. providing shelter pulling down unsafe walls. for which Swettenham is severely con- demned. The daily telegraph today says: His excellency is still careen- ing around the city. poking his nose into various concerns. attending to petty details which subOrdinates ought to attend to. The result is that when prominent officials call to consult him they cannot find the governor. There is a total absence of deliberate organ ized movement. This is a state of affairs on which the British and colon ial government cannot congratulate themselves. There is an enforcement of the regulation forbidding the re- erection of buildings or even wooden shacks without the city surveyors ap- prOval. The general opinion is that the governor has completely lost his head and is utterly unequal to the task of meeting the emergency"

ITS A TEDIOUS TASK
 GETTING A THAW JURY
Two More Yesterday WinnOwed Out of a
 Half Hundred TaIeSmen
One Electrician Disqualified Himself by Mention ing His Views On the New York System of Capital Punishment.

New York, Jan. 25.-Fifty-one tales men were today examined in rapid or der in the effort to complete the jury which is 10 try Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. At the end of the days session two names were added 10 the jury, making seven in all. One hundred and one talesmen have been examined. That there is increas- ing difficulty in finding men who are willing and competent to serve was evidenced by the fact that on the first day two jur- Ors were sworn in from nineteen tales men, one being excused subsequently, by the court. On the second day three were secured from thirty-one talesmen while today it required the winnowing of more than fifty to secure two.
 The new jurors are Harold R. Faire printer and publisher; Malcolm s. Fraser. dealer in underwear
 The panel impresses the followers Of the case more and more favorably Ex- Cuses by talesmen to avoid duty in the case are growing more varied each day Man after man declared today that his opinion as to the guilt or innocence was so firmly fixed as to admit of no change. Jerome tried to convince the talesmen that newspaper stories were not the same as sworn testimony. but his efforts were generally unsuccessful and challenges for cause were sus- tained by the court. Only three tales men were peremptorily rejected.
 Harry Thaw seemed much more ac- customed 10 his surroundings today. and for the first time gazed interestedly at the crowd in the court room which was limited, however. to the talesmen and newspaper correspondents. Thaw seemed especially interested in the re- pOrters' tables and tried once to read the large type account of his trial in a paper one of the writers was scanning. He seemed to have much better color today although his wife was paler.
Arizona republican., 1907-01-26

A bit of color was thrown into the tedious proceedings by a talesman named Ketcham, who said he was con- nected with an electrical supply house and he supplemented this with the dec laration that while he was not opposed to capital punishment in murder cases he was opposed to the use of electricity in that connection. Ketcham was asked if he knew Standford White and he replied: II am glad to say that I did not
 Another feature was the number of talesmen who had known Stanford White. At one time three men in suc- cession asserted that they had been so well acquainted with the architect as to make them unsuitable jurors.
 There will be no session tomorrow. The court adjourned until Monday morning. In the meantime the seven jurors will be in the custody of a bailiff.

NO LAND LEASING
 FOR DRY FARMERS
The Trans Missouri Congress Turns Down Resolution Endorsing the Burkett Bill.

Denver Jan. 25.-The Trans Mis- souri Dry Farming congress was or ganized here this afternoon. officers were elected for the coming year and Salt Lake was agreed upon as the next place of meeting.
 Opposition developed to one of the resolutions reported which declared that the congress was with President Roosevelt in regard to leasing unOccu- pied public lands and in favor of the Burkett bill for that purpose and it was laid on the table.
 The resolutions commended the work of the United States department of agriculture and urged that demon stration farms be established by the states and the nation and also that the various legislatures and congress appropriate funds for carrying out ex- periments in dry farming.

s inches and 8 feet long. If the ties go to San Francisco Bay points charge of & a ton is made because they are sent in the same classifica- tiOn as pole cross arms, while a piece of common rough green lumber twice as long would be classed by itself and accepted at $3.10 a ton despite the fact that it could not be loaded in cars as easily. He said that prior to two years ago there was no distinction in the classification.
 The change affects business of the company because shipments cannot be delivered at San Francisco Bay points or Stockton. the latter place being where the Western Pacific would re- ceive them. The firm has large orders from the Western Pacific for ties but after making shipments on a sup posedly rough lumber basis and being taxed the difference between s3.1O and s a ton decided to wait until the Gould road is built to Marrysville, to deliver, as the shipments tried cost g, 200 more than was expected.
 The California market is preferred to any other because $2 more a thou sand feet is received on lumber there. Commissioner Lane said the s2 differ ence in California did not exist a year ago. Kelly said only at some points. Practically 40 per cent. of the business went to California in 1906, while prior to 1901 more than SO per cent. went that way and to Arizona.
 Kelly said there was good car sur vice except in 1903 and 1906, that they always tried to ship in the direction from which cars could be obtained. They generally got cars for railroad shipments, but he said if they had to depend on the Southern Pacific this year the mills would have to shut down. but cars were furnished from the Oregon and Navigation company.
 Do you find more cars for railroad business than commercial?" asked Commissioner Lane.
 'Yes, you see the Hartman lines are building 5000 refrigerator cars and they take material from this territory" he said. "We took large orders. It's a case of hauling stuff for the new cars to help out. though they won't let us load lumber in refrigerator cars.
 It was proved by Kelly that while the latter has cheaper rates from his mills to San Francisco than Portland firms. he also has the same rate as local men when shipping east from the mills.
