Thief SECURES RICH
EXPRESS PACKAGE
PAPEI.S OF JOSEPH MEYERS, OF
SALEM, STOLEN-CRIME
TRACED TO PORTLAND.
Belief Is That Express Office Was
Robbed at Night-Valuable
Notes Gone.

Salem, Or, Sept. S.-A daring ex-
press robbery, in which a package
containing notes and other valuable
papers representing over $4,000 be-
longing to Joseph Meyers, of this
city, brings again to public notice
the internal troubles of the Meyers
family. 1t recalls the fight made by
his sons to prevent his recent mar
riage in Portland to Mrs. Zenaide Du
Rette, and to control the old mans
fortune
Upon the request of Mr.. Meyers,
J. H. Albert. president of the Capt.
tai National Bank, of Salem, for
warded the formers strong box to
him at Portland, in care of the Port
land Hotel. The package was intrust-
ed to the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany here for transmission to Port
land on the afternoon of August FL.
1t arrived in Portland that night at
1880 o'clock.
The package never reached Mr..
Meyers at his Portland address, and
1t has just been learned that it was
stolen from the express company on
the night of August 21, or the early
morning Of August %. The circum-
stances of the daring theft are such
that it is believed that unknown per-
sons entered the express Office at the
Portland Union Depot, where the
package was left over night, and car
ried it away
The strong box contained among
other valuable packages and jewelry
three notes executed by Henry W.
and Milton L. Meyers to Joseph
Meyers of total value of $4,000.

Yhe selection of the Pacific coast
terminus was one of the most lmpor-
tant tasks with which the builders of
the national highway had to do. Many
things must be considered. 1t must
have a harbor second to none and lie
where the rails could reach it without
seriously lengtheninS the line, or in
creasing the gradients. The entire
north coast was searched, and every
harbor sounded before final decision
was reached. The very satisfactory
result is mat the future metropolis OF
the north coast will look out upon a
barbor that is all that could be hoped
for. Although practically land-locked,
IT has a mile-wide roadway. and is suf-
hcient in size to shelter all the ships
that are likely to come to it,. great as
are the possibilities of this new port.
And because Prince Rupert is at the
end of the line, and the nearest port to
Janan and the east; because it is on
the shortest line from Liverpool to
Yokohama, the shortest route around
the world, it is bound to lie on the All
Red route. if that dream is ever rea-
lized.
The city is all being planned, in ad-
vance of any building, and nothing is
being overlooked which will add to
the beauty and symmetry of the city
