Road VIII Extend From PendletOn
Through Irrigated Section to the

Company Taking Active Steps To-
ward Establishment of Line-WiI
Lay Out Right Of Way Across Pro-
iecf

AT the banquet given last night by
the Commercial association in honor
of the real estate men, DR.. H. w. Coe
declared emphatically that an electric
railway line will soon be built from
this city through the irrigated section
to the Columbia. Today the doctor
went further in the matter and ad-
mitted that at this time his company
Is now taking active steps towards
the establishment of a line.
According to Dr. Coe, his engineer,
Mr.. Lilly, will arrive from Portland
within a day or two, possibly this
evening, for the purpose of making an
electric line survey through the Fur
nish project.
Though refraining from going into
full details at this time concerning
the ccmpany's plans. DR.. Coe says that
they desire to lay out a right of way
for a line through their lands so as
to reserve the same. BY taking that
action now he says the company
wishes to avoid the payment of ex-
pensive right of way prices that are
sure to prevail in the future.
Whether or not the company will
seek to secure rights of way over the
remainder of the country west of
here Dr. Coe does not state, but he
ntimates that a company will be
formed for the purpose of building
an electric line

Bad Owl Warrants.

Seattle, Wash. May S.-H. j. Muir
ply, alleged absconding secretary of
the Brotherhood of Owls, is still at
work, as evidenced by the receipts of
number of forged warrants which
have reached the local headquarters
within the past few days. Murphy
appropriated to his own use about
$500 and left town. A warrant was
issued for his arrest on an embezzle-
ment charge, and the receipt of addi-
tional forged warrants leads the Off
cials to believe that he is still in the
state. Some of the newest evidences
of his work were received from Spo-
kane. Murphy had outside printers
furnish him duplicates of the lodge
warrant books and by this means es-
capped detection for some time.

Despondent over the loss of his eye
sight and because he was hopelessly
addicted TO the use of the morphine
habit, William Brandt killed himself
in his room at the Columbia lodging
house this morning. With suicidal in
tent he ate almost an entire bottle
of morphine and few afterwards his
his dead body was found.
The deceased was about so years
of age and was a well known charac-
ter about the city and especially in
saloon circles. He had been about
the city more or less during the past
25 or 80 years and of late has made
his headquarters at the Columbia.
But little seems to be known Of
Brandt's family relations even by
those wo knew him best. His father
is said to have been at one time a
general superintendent on the South
ern Pacific and he also has relatives
In Indiana, whom he visited at the
time of the worlds fair.
Personally the suicide was a man
OF average size and was rather heavy
faced. He was dark complexioned
and had black mustache. He has
been badly addicted to the drug hab-
1t an that fact caused him to become
desponent when not under the influ-
ence of the drug
According to those who knew
Brandt his eyesight had been falling
for some time and several days ago
he went completely blind. In talk
Ing over his condition with friends he
told them that If he went
blind or became in such.
that he would have to-
go to the poor farm he would end his
life. AS result there was but little
over his rash deed.
AS the deceased was without means
md belonged to no fraternal order.
his friends among the saloonmen are
'aising funds with which to give him
IN appropriate burial. The BODY is
low at the Baker & Folsom under
aking parlors.
AS the evidence of suicide was con-
idered plain by Coroner Ralph Fol-
on, no inquest was held.
