TO EXTEND MAIL SERVICE.
Stage Line Will be Started Between
Spray and Monument.

There is a movement, on foot at
Spray, if successful, will be benefit
cial to all of us excepting the post
masters, says the Monument Enter
prise.
The move Is to have mail serv-
ice between Monument and Spray. 1t
takes on an average of four days to
get letter from one town to the
other and II the new move is sue
cessful we will be able to get mail
every other day, not only will 1t be
convenient In getting mall but also
for people who are travelling through
the country. The present stage lin,
is via Hardman, making two days
trip, while the new line will save one
day and about half the expense.
David Herrin, the postmaster at
Spray, seems to be at the head of
the move, and he is satisfied that IL
the people will stand by him he can
succeed in securing the line. Anoth-
er thing Mr.. Herrin seems to be
afraid of and that is the condition of
the road between the two towns.
He seems to think that the road is
inclined to be rough. But people who
are acquainted with the country say
that the road is as good or bette,
than the average road in these parts.
OF course there are few loose rocks
but with little time this can be
made into n fine road, because the
hills are not steep and again the
ground never gets muddy like most
roads.

Spokane Deputy Battles With Desper-
ado But Empties Six-ShOOter In
Vain. aHW
While hunting for members OF a
gang OF horethieves in the Grand
coulee in Douglas county, washington,
Monday night, H. j. Hamlin, a spec
ial deputy sheriff from Spokane. met
with thrilling experience and one Of
which he is not prone to talk, says the
Spokesman Review.
Mr. Hamlln came Unexpectedly up
on one Of the men he was after and
Hamlin putting his quarry to flight.
No one was hurt according to Mr..
Hamln, and he did not succeed In ar
resting the suspect.
As proof OF his claim that he was
not worsted by the horsethlef Mr..
Hamlin points to the fact that he re-
turned to Coulee City with a team OF
horses valued at $500, which had been
stolen and which was returned by his
effort, to It's owner.
Horsethieves have been bothering
the people OF Douglas, Adams and
Spokane counties for long time and
the sherffs OF the three counties have
been doing what they could to quell
their thievery. AS yet only two men
have been arrested and they are
wanted for stealing horses in Adams
county. They have been arraigned
and are now out on bail for appear
ance at the coming term OF the super
Tor court They were arrested near
Spokane about six weeks ago, one OF
them being II. ]. Willis, n pioneer
rancher and supposedly a man of con-
siderable wealth.
Because OF the boldness of the
horsethieves in recent stealing near
Spokane the county commissioners Of
fered standing reward not long ago
for the arrest and conviction OF any
one charged with horse Or cattle
stealing. The amount of the reward
is 5000. Mr. Hamln, acting as a
special deputy under Sheriff Doak,
has been one of the most forward men
In the solving of the mysteries sur
rounding the disappearance Of valu-
able horses. Not long ago he went to
Four Mound prairie with the sheriff
OF Adams county and recovered sew
eral head of horses that had been
stolen near Ritzvllle and sold to
man named Watson. The horses were
valued at 5000.

Short Line Improvements.

Despite the fact that the business
Of the Short Line is not what it was
before the October panic" came on,
there is still good deal of improve
ments being done along the line, and
a great deal more of it in contempla-
ton, says the Pocatello Tribune.
Preparations are being made for
laying 80 pound steel to fill in some
of the gaps that were not reached
last year, and the installation of the
block signal system and the erection
OF the stations for charging the bat
teries at various points on the line
is going right along. A number of
new sidetracks are being installed,
too, indicating that sooner or later
the road expects to have business
enough again to warrant them.

PLANNING FLOAT
FOR ROSE SHOW
UMATILLA COUNTY
MAY BE REPRESENTED.
President II. Alexander of Pendleton
Commercial Club, Suggests That the
City and County BE Ffttingly Rep
resented in Rose Show Parade
Combined Harvester and Indian
Village Suggested.

Will Pendleton and Umatilla county
be represented in the parade Of the
Portland Rose show on June /?
This is the question that has been
suggested by President R. Alexander
of Pendleton Commercial association
TO the members OF the association and
the board of managers is now consid-
oring the proposition.
That Umatilla county should be rep
resented by a typical float in the
great rose show procession, is the sem
timent of many business men and
members Of the Commercial associa-
ton and it is probable that some defi-
mite steps will be taken.
It has been suggested that a combin-
ed harvester drawn by a 36-mule team
be entered. but the fact that the
streets will be crowded and that the
team may become unmanageable and
stampede in the street has made this
plan doubtful. Should SO Umatilla
county mules take 1t into their heads
to stampede or pile up in the streets
a special squad of Portland policemen
would be necessary to prevent serious
trouble.
An indian village with 20 or 80
Umatilla Indians has also been sug-
gested and a wheat float, showing
wheat in every stage of growth and
development from sporting seed to
the soil to an angel food cake at a
wedding feast, is also among the plans.
Portland business men have urged
Pendleton to take this matter up in
hopes OF seeing eastern Oregon typi-

The stockholders of the farmers
telephone company met yesterday af-
ternoon. TO hold their annual meeting.
The most important matter to come
up before the meeting was the report
of Secretary H. c. Littlefield.
Mr.. Littlefield's report showed that
there were about 500 subscribers. dis
tributed as follows: 700 in We
natchee and immediate vicinity, so at
Cashmere and at Peshastin. This
represents an increase OF % per cent
over last year. Many more could
have been added to the system had
the company been in a position to
meet the demands. The net profit
to be divided among the stockholders
this year is $4,000, which is so per
cent greater than the profits Of the
last three years.
A new switchboard has been INSTALL
ed this year, which is sufficient to
handle 1900 lines, and will be able
to handle the business for several
years to come.
The interest of the Bell Telephone
company was taken over during the
past year under a 10-year contract.
Many cables have been put up to re-
lieve the poles of the excessive
weight of the wires.

For the Indian Horses.
Another task which the federal peo-

That the realty business in this

that the fees received at the record

Whiting, Ind, and western and south
ern points After several Of the many
indictments had been quashed by
Judge Lands the trial OF the COM
pany began on March 1. 1907. The
jury was obtained in less than day,
and but two peremptory challenges
were used by either side. The hearing
continued for six weeks. and more
than 1000 pieces Of documentary evil
dence were introduced by the gov
ernment. in addition to the hundreds
of witnesses placed on the stand.
Verdict in Two Hours.
A public posting of an oil shipping
rate in stations of the Chicago and
Alton Railway Company evidently
was deemed the most important bit
of testimony by the jurors Their ver-
dict of guilty was returned within two
hours after their retirement. the
amount OF the fine being left to the
discretion of the trial judge.
The investigation then inaugurated
by Judge Landis was the most spec
tacular feature of the proceedings.
His efforts to learn the financial
status Of the Standard Oh Company
of Indiana, with an idea of imposing
a fine adequate to its affairs. were
hampered by the officials and at
torneys of the company. The jurist
then suddenly decided to call John d.
Rockefeller, founder of the Standard
OH Company, and other officials to
his courtroom to throw light upon
the affairs of the corporation.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates
were personally questioned by Judge
Lands and few attempts were made
at. evasion Of the searching inquiries
of the jurist. It was from the admis-
sions OF the witnesses that the court
learned that the Standard OIL Com.
pany of New Jersey owned the Stand
ard OIL Company of Indiana, and that
the total earnings of the parent body
in the three years preceding the in
vestigation had been more than $780,
100000, and that dividends OF 40 per
cent had been paid its stockholders.
After the testimony Of the officials
had been obtained Judge Lands again
took the case under advisement and
after week announced his decision.
which assessed the maximum penalty
on the 1,462 counts against the oil
company. A fine of 5000 on each count
was imposed.
Opinion 10 Vigorous.
The opinion Of Judge Lands was
marked by bitter arraignment Of the
oil corporation and it's officials, who
were declared guilty of willfui viola
tion of the antitrust laws and were
asserted to be menaces to the pros
perity of the country.
The battle of the oil corporation
against the enforcement of the gi-
gantic fine was inaugurated at once,
