BADLY INJURED
HORSES WE'RE KILLED AND

Mr.. Van Slyke Now in Walla Waila

Head Cut. Injured Internally and
Bruised acknowledgements by
Passenger Train on Crossing Near
Curve.

Freewater, Sept. 10.-J. w. Van
Slyke, aged 20 years, an old pioneer
of this section, lies in a precarious
condition at st. Mary's hospital in
Walla Walla as the result of a Sc
rious accident which befell him last
night.
He was on his way from Weston,
where he had been with a load of
fruit, and with his team was crossing
the railroad track few miles above
here when the passenger train from
Pendleton to Walla Walla came
around a curve, and before he could
get across in safety his horses were
killed. his wagon knocked to splin-
ters, he was thrown some distance in
the air, and was picked up uncon-
scious. How he escaped being kill
ed instantly is miracle.
For a time it was feared that he
would die before he could be taken
to Walla Walla, as his head was cut
in several places, he was injured in
ternally, and was otherwise severely
bruised.
At last accounts today the patient
is still in a very serious condition,
adn 1t is still doubtful If he can re-
cover from his injuries.

Boise, Sept. 10.-A sensation which

nation of Ex-Governor Steunenberg to
the present.
amounting to $29, 900, shows the state
paid cigar bills and hundreds of other
similar incidental" expenses. Bills in
amounts varying from less than 81 to
$40 appear for ''incidentals while
seeking information" ''incidentals to
avoid suspicion" and treating ex-
penses."

unqualifiedly announces that he and

Mr.. Heney is by no means commu-

Mr. Heney will go to San Francisco
Thursday to begin the trial of Attor-

Mr. Heney reiterated that the re-
port the oregon land fraud cases

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Although
deploring the British Columbia anti
oriental riots, It is difficult for Of
ficials at Washington TO conceal a
grin. 1t has been such a short time
since British public opinion openly
and severely criticised the inability
of the United States government to
restrain United States mobs against
"unoffending orientals." The size of
the grin is undiminished by the re-
Election that the principal animosity
displayed by the Vancouver, b. c.,
mobs was directed against the Japan

An almost audible chuclile arose
when 1t became known that Baron

cause of anti-Japanese feeling, hap
pened to be in the British colony a.

Value of Goats and Mohair.

product in 1906 was 100000, says
the Oregon Daily Journal anniver-

to cause the goat to produce the very
best grade of mohair, and the prices
to be secured are from to 10 cents
higher per pound than can he had
in Texas and other goat-raising states

his comparison of republicans liken-
ed them to some one not belonging
to the republican belief. The judge,
however, has changed. Friday night
he sat on the platform of the Armory
with the big republicans Of the city
and state, and listened with all the
rest to Secretary Taft's republican
speech.
e What gets the Pendletonians, how
ever, is that Judge Hartman was the
second man to shake hands with the
speaker of the evening. and was only
second because he gave way to a
gentleman older than himself. worst
of ALL the judge compared Mr.. TAFT
to Grover Cleveland, whom he ex-
planned was very fine looking man.
According to ex-Treasurer Sommer-
vile. the judge held something like
the following conversation with Secre-
tary Taft. After shaking hands and
announcing that he. like David b. Hill
was a democrat, Judge Hartman said;

Mr.. Taft expressed pleasure at be-
ing able to please one of the opposite
political faith.

. As a climax to the agitation for
better train service on the o. r. &
n. system, the Oregon railroad COM
mission last evening ordered No. s.,
the Biggs local passenger train, ex-
tended TO Pendleton, as a daily To-
cal train, to be reasonably equipped
to handle the local travel with COM
fort and to make connections with
branch line trains at Biggs, Arling-
ton and Heppner junction.
This order is a surprise to both
the people of eastern oregon and
the O. r. & N, as 1t has been sup
posed all along that the addition Of
a clean coach to train No! l at this
place, for the accommodation of To-
cal travel, was an end of the matter
at present at least.
However, since the colonist rush
has started, not only have main line
trains been crowded to the limit, but
they have also been very much be-
hind their schedules, and 1t IS sup
posed that the commission has acted
on its own initiative, in ordering the
Riggs local extended to Pendleton to
relieve the situation.
What the o. r. & n. company will
do in the matter is problematical. The
order of the railroad commission
gives the company 80 days in which
to place the train in service, and 1t
is generally believed that the mat
ter will be resisted and the railroad
commissions authority tested I'm the
courts.
1t is generally conceded that the
local would have been extended to
this city some time ago, had the
company been adequately supplied
with equipment for the service, and
many business men in close touch
with the o. r. & n. officials believe
now, that the train will be run to
Pendleton, as ordered, owing to the
heavy traffic. and that the railroad
commission law will be tested later.
Southern Pacific Affected Also.
An additional train was ordered
placed in service on the Southern Pa
cific to take place of No. 12, the
northbound passenger train, when
that train is two hours or more, late.
tA'Id Tram Is lo bt bHly Dt-
tween Roseburg and Portland. A
Salem corr espondent says of the rail-
road commissions orders of last
evening.
Orders were given by the railroad
commission this afternoon requiring
the Southern Pacific company to run
an extra train out of Roseburg to
Portland on the time of No. 12,
northbound passenger whenever that
train is two hours behind schedule
time and requiring the o. r. & N
company to run its trains Nos. and
s regularly between Portland and
Pendleton each morning, respective
ly, equipped so as to give reasonable
accommodations to the travelling pub.
lie patronizing them.
The schedule is to be so arranged
that connections shall be made with
the trains on the Condor, Columbia
Southern and Heppner branches.
Both of these cases came up fol
hearing upon the commissions owr
motion several weeks ago. That or.
der affecting the Southern Pacific
No. ~ train goes into effect 20 days
after service OF the certified copy
of the order is made, and that affect
ing the o. r. & N. train service be-
comes operative within 80 days afte,
service.
