What Is perhaps the most Important
local railroad project ever launched
in Umatilla county was brought into
existence this afternoon when z. w.
McComas filed articles of ncorpora-
ton for the Open River Railway &
Navigation company with County
Cleik Sailing.
This is the company which has made
n survey of a line from Simmons Land
ing on the Columbia river 10 Hold
man and is capitalized at $250,000. In
$500 shares of 500 each. The in
corporators are e. w. McComas, G. A.
Hartman and C. E. Curry. Mr.. Curry
IL San Francisco manager Of the
Northwestern Warehouse company.
and Mr.. McComas end Mr.. Hartman
are too well known TO the citizens of
umatilla county TO need introduction.
j. NJ Teal OF Portland, is attorney for
the company.
Is n Pendleton Company.
In the articles of incorporation
Pendleton Is named as headquarters
: and home OF the company and its
objects cover several typewriter
pages and include the construction,
operation, maintenance and extension
of railroads and electric lines. the
generation of electric power, the con-
struction, operation and maintenance
of grain and freight warehouses, the
construction of depot buildings, sta
tions, sidetracks. branches, extensions
and spurs OF railroad. the construction
and operation OF both steam and sail
ing vessels and other business pertain
ing to transportation and hauling
freight.
Line Is Surveyed.
The line of the proposed road Is now
surveyed from Simmons Landing on
the Columbia river to Holdman, in the
heart of the wheat belt OF the north
part OF Umatilla county, distance of
about 16 miles, and the work of secur-
ing right of way is proceeding satis-
factorily.
The line runs directly west from
Holdman to the north edge of the
government irrigation project In the
northwest part of the county and then
swings northward to Simmons Land
ing, where II will connect with boat
lines to be operated by the same COM
pany.
Mr.. McComas stated today that two
boats will be operated by the company
at first, one above and one below the
portage railroad at Cello. 1t is hoped
that the line will be ready to handle
the 1908 wheat crop.
The articles of incorporation were
drawn in Portland yesterday and
were filed simultaneously In the Of
flee of the county clerk here and In
the office OF the secretary Of state al
Salem today.
May Extend to Pendleton.
while the line from Simmons
Landing to Holdman Is all the present
company is able to handle at present
yet | believe the line should be ex-
tended to this city," said Mr.. McComas
to the East Oregonian today.
There Is a strong sentiment on par
of business men to have the line
brought into Pendleton, giving thi'
city direct communication with th'
boat lines on the Columbia river, ant
1t is believed that long before thu
Simmons-H Holdman line is completed
build into this city.
The company estimates that abou
10000 tons of wheat will be tributar!
to the line as surveyed now. Thi
amount would be more than doubled
by the extension to, this city, to sa!

which would come to the new lin

RENTS HOUSE FOR JURY. !
Boise Sheriff Will Connect 1t With the
Court Room.

Boise, Idaho, May 4.-The jury
which will try William Haywood, first
of the accused in the Steunenoer
case, will keep house during the Trial
The law of Idaho provides that such
juries shall be kept together ana IN
seclusion from public contact. Sherl1I
Shad Holigin, responsible for the Gus
tody of the jurors, has hired mouse
structure standing on a neat lawn ana
garden Just across the street lhdt
TANKS the rear of Ada county couI
house and within about 800 rect Oh the
court room.
To make the daily Journeys of the
Jury as direct as possible the sherHI
has constructed a temporary stairway
from the rear of the second STORY q
the court house. Its upper land1ng Is
the platform of a fire escape, sapdgit is
reached through the ante-roorn OF
Judge Woods chambers. The jury
can therefore be taken directly to the
stairway without leaving the ralled en-,
closure of the courtroom. An oHlcldI
cook has been retained and arrange,
ments have been made with local
stores for a good and varied supply OF
food.
Four bailiffs-two for day duty and
two for night serVice-will guard the
Jury The house will be carefully and
constantly watched. Entry to the open
lawn will be prohibited; one of the day
bailiffs will remain at home while the
jury is in court, and the nlSnt DdIlI1iS
will do no sleeping during their watch.
The court room is being parity re-
constructed in order to increase the
seating capacity both in and outside
the rail. Two unusual features of the
court room are that the jury box &C
cupies the space directly in front of
the bench that is generally filled by
the clerk and his imposing desk, and
the witness chair is in the middle of
the chamber between the ends of
counsel tables and directly in front of
the middle gate of the rail. The jury
faces the room. but its chairs are on
swivels that may be swung around to
face the judge. The witness chair Is
on a platform and is visible from all
points in the room.
Many extra chairs and tables are be-
ing placed on either side of the room
within the enclosure for the use of the
daily press representatives, and a long
desk has been built along the outer
side of the rail for the special writers
and artists. Special seats are being
placed for members of the Boise bar,
and the seating capacity of the pub
lie part of the room increased to about
800.
Judge Wood and Sheriff Hodgin are
cooperating on plans calculated to ex-
pedite the work and comfort of all
engaged in and on the trial under con-
ditions as reasonable as circumstances
and necessity will permit.

HE MAY TALK POLITICS.
1t Is Believed That Taft Will Break ST.
lence at Tulsa

Washington, May 4.-Secretary Taft,
1T is expected. will break his political
silence for the first time since he has
been regarded as a receptive candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency in a speech which he will
probably deliver at Tulsa, Ok, June 6,
on the occasion of the assembling OF
the first Republican state convention.
He has accepted an invitation to at
tend that convention. 1t is not speci-
fically stated that he is to make a
speech then, but it is not doubted that
he will do so If requested; nor is 1T
likely that the Republicans of the new
state will fail to extend the necessary
invitation. In Secretary Taft's opinion
the political campaign in Oklahoma will
be hot one and probably will deter
mine for a number of years to come the
political complexion of the states The
issues presented are expected to De ma
uonal in character and # sIfiayssDA pos
sible that Secretary Taft can find much
to say to the people of Oklahoma in
convention assembled that will interest
them in general Republican principles
without in any way bringing in the per-
sonal equation. - aE.a,fa
The visit to Tulsa wifi be only an in
cident in a considerable western trip
which Secretary Taft is about to take.
He probably will discuss economic
subjects at the milIers' convention at
ST. Louis on the Goth instant which
naturally would involve illusions to the
effect of the completion of the Panama
canal upon the important American
flour export trade with the Orient and
the whole coast of South America.

THEY WE'RE MARRIED RIGHT.
Alfred Payne and Wife Jumped Over
Hoe Handle 'sBefo De Wah."

Not long ago a negro, bent with age,
and who afterwards ldentineo MN il' 81
as Alfred Payne and confessed 10 De
ing "A years old, -hobbled into the OF,
fee of the probate court and asked
the cost of a marriage license.
Captain Flanders, the license clerk
told him the cost was $3.50 and then
remarked that the applicant was
pretty old man to be getting married:
"Oh, I have been married before, ,
said the old fellow in the musical
dialect of his race, but it was down IN
the south before the war. 1t was no
marriage like the white folks nave. II
was just a colored marriage. Me ana
my woman just jumped over noe
handle and was man and wife. we
lived together ever since, but thlnK
my wife would enjoy it If we were
married again and have something to
hang on the wall like the white folks
to show to everybody that we nave
been married properly. AS soon as
get the money am coming for IL
cense and am going to surprise my
wife with a sure enough marriage.
The old fellow left the office, but re-
turned a few days ago and conf1ded to
Captain Flanders that the next day
would be his wife's birthday and ne
was going to give her a great surprise
in the way of a real marriage certih-
cate. In swearing to the license he
gave his name and age and that OF the
prospective bride Ellen D. Payne.
aged So. Captain Flanders, in the alb
sence of Judge Hayden held con-
ference with Mrs. Killilae, the clerk
of the court, over the propriety of
presenting Mr.. Payne with one of the
engraved marriage certificates Judge
Hayden uses when he marries a cou-
pie. After talk. they decided not only
to give him the certificate that he
could have filed in when the marriage
occurred, but also not to charge MIN
ANYTHING for the license. Mr. Payne
was overjoyed at5the generosity or the
attaches of the probate court and LETT
the court house vowing to make Mrs
Payne the happiest woman in the
world VA
That was the last heard of the mat
ter by Captain Flanders, until yester-
day, when a friend of the Paynes
brought the marriag &c certificate
around and showed that the couple
had been rnarriedsTT He said that the
old colored lady was about as happy
woman as could be found, but that she
wanted the certificate officially in.
scribed to the effect that the marriage
was a second one and that the cerd-'
fcate had been issued because there
was no record of the former marriage.
Captain Flanders inscribed the certf-
fcate to this effect and also made
notation to this effect on the license
record in the books of the office.

cIEsNEY WOMAN WILL LEAVE
Heavily Fined and Left Under a Sus-
pended Sentence.

Mary Chesney will not operate dis
orderly house in Topeka any more. In
Iolice court last night she was fined
800 for keeping the house at Ais Kan
sas avenue, and another 800 and &c
days in Jail for keeping and maintain
ing a nuisance. Her assistant in the
business, Helen HUM, was fined S25.
The Chesney woman was permitted to
pay the fine for herself and the girl,
amounting to S127.25 with costs, ana
the liquor selling charge and fine was
held over her as a club. This looks
very much like the old style fine-sys-
tenn of collections. but of course the
idea cannot be entertained under this
administration.
The surprise of the trial was sprung
by Chief Eaton when he brought in
three girls, Letha Sawyer. Pearl Shay
and Carrie Evans, eliminates of the
place, who testified against the wor:a 4
who had held them in peonage- These
girls testified that the Chesney woman
sold beer while they were inmates of
her place, and held them for alleged
''board bills against their will.
Mary Chesney is an old offender, md
might be appropriately added to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's list of undesirable
