Lincoln in t'a Ford .'heater at Wash
ington, d. c., April lS, has been pre-
sented to the Union office for exam
ination by E. A. Van Vranken, who
has in his possession number OF
other old papers, says the Walla
Walla Union.
The issue which contains the ac-
count of the death of the president is
printed with heavy black column
lines, indicative of deep mourning for
the loss of the nations ruler. The
grief and anger of the people are
vividly evidenced in this account to-
gether with the spirit of public re-
venge for the capture of the assas-
sins.
Among the other papers which Mr..
Van Vranken has collected is a copy
of the Albany Daily Advertiser, under
date of November /, 1926. A Pc
culiar feature of the papers of that
time is illustrated in this issue of
the Advertiser On the front page
where the modern dailies print their
important stories in flashing head
lines, there is nothing but small print
advertising. Peculiar phrases and
constructions Of grammar are also
used illustrating the English in COM
mon usage at that time.
The idea of printing advertise
ments on the front page was Gus
tom borrowed from England, which
is still followed in several of the
largest dailies in the British colonies,
such as New Zealand and Australia.

RAILROAD ROBBERIES GROW
Pathetic Case OF One Discharged
EmplOye Who Forged Telegraphic
RanairtS


Special Officer Heinman, who has
charge of the secret service work for
the Northern Pacific over a large
territory east of Pasco, is In the city
today and reports a hard winters
work. says the Yakima Republic. Mr..
Heinman says that during the past
four months the company has prose-
cuted in his territory more than 400
criminal cases, In a great many of
which convictions were obtained. Most
of the offenders were boxcar thieves
whose operations since the financial
furry which caused many men to be
thrown out Of legitimate employ
ment have been usually extensive.
Mr.. Heinman tells of one case
which the railroad company decided
not to prosecute. An employe was
discharged in pursuance of the COM
pany's policy of reducing It's force In
the winter. Unable to find other en-
ployment the man forged telegraphic
receipts and sent quite a number Of
them over the country He was ar
rested and during the first night he
spent in Jail his home was burned,
together with all his household goods,
his wife and five children escaping In
their night clothes. After brief
correspondence with headquarters,
the prosecution was dropped and the
unfortunate man released, assistance
being furnished by the company.

Seven Democratic Statesmen Who DC.
cupy Last Row Peculiarly Noted.

Washington, Jan. 29.-In the last
row of seats on the democratic side
Of the senate chamber sit seven men
who are, in many ways, the most
remarkable who ever wore a toga.
There is Gore Of Oklahoma, the first
totally blind senator, and his coll
league, owen, descendant Of Chero-
kee Indian chiefs.
There is the youngest senator,
Bryan of Florida, and the oldest,
Whyte Of Maryland, with a half CEN
tury between them, although they sit
side by side. There is "Fddling Bob"
Taylor of Tennessee, who fiddled his
way into the senate, and Bankhead
OF Alabama, who ran for the house
and landed in his present august po-
sition. Last, but not least, among
that illustrious seven, Is Jefferson
Davis, Of Arkansas, sworn foe of the
''plutes' and the democratic Demos
themes of the most malinged state Of
the Union.

DRAWS HEAVY FINE.
One Hildebrand Youth Pleads Gull
ty, the Other Freed by Jury.

ty, the Other Freed by Jury.
After one jury had failed to agree
upon a verdict in his case and after
another one had been drawn to give
him a second trial. Joe Hildebrand
today withdrew his plea OF not gull
ty and changed it to guilty. He wae
then sentenced by Judge Bean to pay
fine of $3.50 or remain in Jail for
so days. He is now serving out his
time. The case against his brother,
Frank Hildebrand, has been dismiss
ed, while young Henry Courier was
sentenced to serve year in the PEN
itentiary, but released on parole.
BY the above actions the cases
against Courier and the Hildebrands
were finally disposed Of Several
days ago Courier plead guilty to
stealing $50 from his father and Of
having given $50 to each or the Hill
debrands. The brothers were ar
rested for receiving stolen money and
were being tried out separately.
At 10 o'clock last night the jury in
the case against Joe Hildabrand
stood six to six in disagreement and
upon reporting was discharged. This
morning the case was started again
but proceedings were stopped when
the compromise was agreed upon.
Frank Hildebrand, whose case was
dismissed, ha dafterwards given his
$50 back to young Courier and con-
sequently had a much better defense
than did his brother.
Tomorrow morning the case
against Haaga, accused of robbing a
store at Echo. will be taken up.

RAIN BRINGS JOY To FARMERS

After weeks Of dry freezing wealth
er which greatly alarmed many farm
ers in the wheat belt. the weather
changed all over eastern Oregon last
night and an excellent rain is falling
not only in Umatilla county, but all
over the eastern part of the state ac-
cording to reports received in Pen
dleton this afternoon.
While no damage was done in the
wheat belt by the freezing weather.
vet the ground was very dry on top
and windstorm would have blown
the soil from the roots OF the young
grain causing incalculable damage.

UMAT|LLu COUNNMAY HAVE PAPER MILL

While a portion of the wrapping
and newspaper used in Oregon is
manufactured at oregon City, yet a
very large part Of 1t is manufactured
in Wisconsin and other eastern states
and it is necessary to pay high
freight rates upon the supply for long
distances.
With manufacturing plant in the
heart of the wheat belt where straw
is plentiful and where wood pulp may
be secured within a reasonable dis
tance, he believes that paper can be
manufactured and marketed here to
a good advantage and will so report
to his company on his return to Wis
consin.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-29

That Umatilla county would be an
excellent location for a large paper
manufacturing plant is the assertion
OF w. e. Grout, representative OF a
Wisconsin paper mill who has been
in the county for the past week In
vestigating the inducements for his
company to establish branch plant
here.
With the enormous quantities Of
wheat straw in the wheat belt tribu-
tary to Pendleton and with the large
quantities Of wood pulp to be secured
from the Blue mountains, he believes
that Pendleton offers exceptional ad-
vantages for the manufacture of pa
per.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-29

But the expected windstorm did not
come and the gentle rain which is
falling on the wheat belt today has in
sured a good crop and has allaye6
much unnecessary fear.
While the winter has been open
and beautiful all over eastern Oregon
farmers have complained of the dry
weather and the rain is welcomed at
this time more than usual.
While the rain will be a great ben
eft to the wheat districts 1t will also
start the grass on the foothills ana
thus every Industry in Umatilla coun-
ty is directly benefited by the change
in the weather.

TAFT MEN AFTER WISCONSIN.
Invade La FolIette's State in Hope.
of Lining Up State for Ohio Man.

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 29.-Sup-
porters of Secretary Taft today began
circulating petitions in every district
of Wisconsin and also for delegate
at large, in the hope of capturing the
states delegation to the republican
national convention, despite the am
bitions OF Senator La Toilette.
Under the primary law, no definite
action could be taken until today,
but the Taft men will henceforth
carry on the fight with vigor Some
districts, the Taft supporters admit,
will probably be for La Toilette, but
the adherents of Roosevelt's candi-
date believe they can show that Wis
consin does not stand unanimously
for the radical ideas of its famous
senator.

Company in Good Trim.

That company L is in splendid con-
ditlon is frankly declared by Colonel
Jackson and likewise Major Baker.
The personnel of the men is of high
order and according to the inspecting
officer it could be readily gotten into
good shape for service in the event
the guard should be called out. With
in short time the company will be
supplied with the new Springfield ri
files, considered the most improved
military rifle made, and it is also
understood that the enlisted men will
shortly be supplied with the olive
drab service uniform in addition to
the present khaki.
At present the greatest need OF the
company Is a new armory. Last
night the company was greatly handi-
capped at drill because the room was
too small for the large company, es-
pecially in platoon drill The floor Is
also unsuited for drilling as it is not
covered by canvas and is slippery.
Colonel Jackson and Major Baker
left this afternoon on train No. for
