NARROW ESCAPE
OF DAIRYMAN
Came Near Being Run Down BY
East Bound Frisco Pass
enger Train

Another narrow escape from being
ground to death beneath the wheels of
the east bound passenger train at the
Wilson street crossing was experienced
last night by the driver Of the east side
dairy wagon The train was late and
the driver, came across from the north
and did not see the rapidly approaching
train until il was nearly upon him. How
ever the driver whipped up the horse and
got across to safety just as the big en-
CINE brushed the back Of the wagon. Many
spectators on the platform yelled a warn
ing at the dairyman but he did not heed
them and as he drove across the track a
hundred pair Of eyes closed to shut out
the vision Of the terrible tragedy that
seemed impending. This is the second
narrow escape within the last week. Mon
day noon a woman with little child in
her arms was nearly run down by the
fast mail, but stopped her horse in time

that state cannot conduct liquor traffic,

states in part:
There are two main propositions, the

second. whether the dispensary commis-

NORMAL PLURALITY CUT TO
LESS THAN 10000.
REPUBLICANS ON DEFENSIVE
Democratic Argument Based Upon
ReSubmission of Prohibition
Law and Taxation of
Wild Land.

Portland, Me-, Sept. I5.-Although the
republicans came off victorious in the
state election yesterday, Bert M. Fernald,
Of Poland. being chosen governor over
0bedia Gardner, Of Rock Island. the demo-
Gratis had the satisfaction Of seeing the
normal republican plurality cut to less
than ten thousand votes for the first time
in presidential year for more than a
quarter of a century.
All four republican candidates for con-
gress we're elected. Late returns for gov
ernor from all cities and 400 towns and
plantations out Of 49a. gave Fernald
(republican) 88.300; Gardner (demo-
craft 6i.6i6 Same places in 1904 gave
Cobb (repubIcan) 70.s82: Davis (demo-
craD46.7f2. This shows a republican
loss of four per cent and democratic gain
Of 80 per cent. On this basis the repub-
lican plurality is estimated at about s.
600.
The republicans were on the defensive
throughout the campaign. seeking to hold
the state by the usual plurality by ans
wering various democratic arguments
which were mainly for resubmission OF
the prohibitory law, the taxation of wild
lands and a reform in administrative
methods
But little was said Of the national
issues.

I'm concluding this report your manage
ment deems il proper to refer again to the
tendency which has existed formany years
torequire railways to provide an increased
and more efficient service for diminished
compensation, and to impress upon share
holders the absolute necessity Of continu-
ing without abatement the policy Of im-
provement which heretofore has been
consistently pursued by your MANAGEMENT,
in order that economies in operation may
be effected which will in a measure over
come the condition complained Of
Future years win unquestionably bring
further large accessons OF traffic, which
will require generous expenditures of
money for enlargng and increasing your
company's facilities, but Of equal. if not
more, importance is the necessity Of In
vesting large sums in such improvements
as will make possible a material reduction
in operating expenses The remarkable
growth and prosperity Of your property in
the past has been due chiefly 70 lis inde-
pendence of control by other railway sys-
TENS, It's exceptional location in fertile
and swiftly developing region, and the
measures taken to occupy its territory and
10 provide timely facilities for handling
its business. It's future solvency and pros
perity depend, not only upon these leading
factors. but also upon the ability of your
company TO furnish a superior service at
a minimum cost. This will require the
outlay, in various directions, ofmany mill
lions of dollars, much Of which Il would
be unwise, If not improper, to capitalize
and il follows, therefore. that the surplus
! revenues Of the company must be devoted
20 this purpose. This policy is vital TO
the well-being Of the property and doubt
less will commend itself to the sharehold-
ers, who are, Of course. the ultimate
benefciaries.

COMMISSIONER WRIGHT
EFFORT TO REOPEN ROLLS.
Inmates of Orphan Asylums And
Many Minors and Freedmen
Are Among Those Seeking
to be Enrolled.

Washington Sept. ,i4-The commissioner
Of Indian affairs has made public report
made to him by J. George Wright, COM
missioner to the Five Civilized tribes,
under date of November is, 1907 CON
cerning fifty-two members Of the FIVE
.sribes who should have been, but we're
not, included in the citizenship rolls Of
those tribes and TO whom land should
have been, but was not, allotted under the
general congressional enactment for such
enrolment and allotment These data are
important to the claimants, and already
the attorneys of many of them have ex-
erted themselves to gain access to the
document, but hitherto without success.
The report has been guarded because of
the difficulties standing in the way of re-
opening the rolls. for it is realized that il
another opportunity is offered many In
dians whose claims are not so clear nor so
meritorious as the fifty-two will seek to
have themselves included in the favored
lists. There are quite number in addi-
don 10 those who make claim TO citizen
ship, including many disaflected fullbloods
and some inmates of orphan asylums
whose cases were not thoroughly nvesti
gated by the commission. 1t is considered
probable that there win be an effort tc
have congress or the courts reopen the
rolls, The Indian bureau has not deter
mined upon any recommendation as tc
slhe course to be pursued.
Many Of the fifty-two cases covered bS

dren and freedmen
