Oregon Railroads.

The first annual report of the railroad
commission + Oregon shows a pitiful
little total of 70 miles OF railroad were
constructed in this great state during
1907. To the north of us in Washing
ton, ia state smaller in area and no
richer in natural resources, the number
of miles of construction in 1907 was
exceeded by only four states in the
Union, namely South Dakota, Louis

spect however, Oregon railroads are
among the leaders. They killed 4S

Cal, March 29-Record target prac-
tice for the sixteen battleships of the
Atlantic fleet is rapidly approaching
a conclusion and it is expected that
next wednesday, April !, VIII witness
the final firing on the ranges The
Virginia, the Kansas and the Vermont
We're on the firing lines today and
they are thc last ships to complete
their work The Vermont and the
Kansas are engaging in target prac-
tice Tor the irst time under record
conditions and have been granted quite
a concession in the way of preliminary
practice. Monday. Tuesday and We'd
nlsday II Is believed, the Kansas ana
Vermont will have the ranges all to
themselves. The gun crews on these
ships have had much opportunity to
prepare for the work at the targets
and they should make splendid rec
ord. The ships sent to the ranges FIRST
suffered something of a handicap, as
gun drilling at sea does not give the
same results as when a ship is lying
at anchor
An Of the ships, it can be stated, how
ever, have been doing splendid work
at the targets and 1t is still a matter
Of doubt as to whether the champion
ship gunnery pennant for armoTed
vessels will fly from one of the ar
mored cruisers Of the Pacific feet, or
from one of the battleships now here.
1t is believed the contest has narrow
cd down to the results Of the small
calibre scores, the three-inch rifles es-
pecially figuring in the equation which
is to be solved The records as at
present compiled, give no certain in
dications of the final result The bat
tleships have made high scores with
the IL and l3-inch guns as with the
and 1O-inch rifles in the primary
batteries Of the Pacific fleet cruisers.
With completion of target practice
on next Wednesday the crews viii turn

Tragedy in St, Paul,
tBy Morning Journal Special LEASED wire,l

(By Morning Journal Special LEASED Wire,
st. Paul March 29.--William d,
! Trainor a vaudeville actor, shot and
killed Mrs, William Pryor an actress
with whom he was travelling, in an
apartment at the Clarendon hotel
early this morning. ana then commit
ted suicide Mrs Pryor was about
rs years Old.
The tragedy occurred about 1880
this morning. At that hour the night
clerk in the hotel heard two shots,
and rushing upstairs. he found Mrs.
Pryor lying dead, shot through the
temple, Trainor was shot in the back
Of the head, but was still living. He
was hurried to the city hospital, where
he died at o'clock this morning.
An open letter found in the room
after the murder indicated that Mrs.
Pryor had threatened to leave Train
or. The letter was one which had
been sent by TTainor to Mrs. Pryor
before she left her husband. and it
Is believed that the actress had been
reminding TrainoT that he had not
lived uD to promises he had made her,
Trainor and Mrs. Pryor, who APP
pcared on the stage and who regis
tered at the hotel as "Trainor and
Trainor," had an engagement at the
Unique theater Minneapolis, three
weeks hence but so far as known they
had nothing in sight for the time in
terVening Three dollars was found
In TTainor's pocket, and 1t is thought
that they were near the end of their
resources

that this order was given and believes
that the men started on their errand.
He does not recall who they We're and
Is not sure that they eyer reached the
outside. If so they perhaps had not
time To reenter the mine and there
fore escaped These confusing cir
cumstances make ii difficult to ap-
proximate the number of men in the
mine when the second and more
death dealing explosion occurred,
II was not until daylight that the
bodies Of Alex Fennant and Matt
Huhtala We're found and they were
lying on the prairie some distance
from the entrance to the east slope.
Tenants head ana one arm was
blown Off and Huhtala's body was
horribly amngled also. Tenants head
has not been found as yet The dis
membered arm was found quite a dis
tance from where the rest Of the body
was picked up. This evidence of the
terrific force accompanying the sec
ond explosion makes il certain that
none can possibly have lived through
it, and il so, the deadly gases that
spread throughout the mine quickly
asphyXiated them That none hestat-
ed in responding to the cali for vol
unteers in the rescue of their fellow
Workmen after the first explosion, is
shown in the fact that not a working
official of the three mines of the I'M
ion Pacific coal company in this camp
is left. All were in the mire seeking
to aid their stricken friends when the
second explosion transformed Mine
No. ! into a shambles.
