There are hopes OF speedy re-
sumption of activities on the Wallowa
extension. High officials OF the Har-
riman line in Oregon are in this sec
tion OF the state today, and to be To-
Gated explicitly it must be said that
they are at the front, or where the
partially completed Wallowa extern
sion ends. says the La Grande OBJ

General Superintendent NJ. ]. Buck

La Grande last evening in a special
private car. and early this morning
left for Elgin by special train. They
will return late this afternoon or to-
night. The object OF the official visit
is currently taken to mean that the
company will fulfill Its promise Of re-
suming operations on the extension
as soon as possible. The date has
recently been set as April 1.

Enormous Number OF Transients

Claimed Brief Residence.
A correspondent writing from Ri
paria says of the enormous number
Of transient people who have claimed
residence there during the past few
months:

railroad laborers pass through town
Of scarcely 100 inhabitants, secure

varied nationalities, who during the
past few months have been shipped
by trainload into Riparia for employ

placed below $4,000. At this time not

would apparently be thronging the

OBJECT TO NINE HOUR LAW.
Railroads Would Suspend Federal
law Making Short Day.

Many keypounders went to work on
the Short Line yesterday morning,
says the Pocatello Tribune. The old
men were retained, of course addi-
tional employees having been required
by the new federal nine-hour law,
which became effective yesterday.
The fate of the law Is not yet GER
tain, as the railroads of the country
are not through with their efforts to
have 1t changed in a number of ma
terial ways. The new law is regarded
by many railroad as one of the most
drastic ever laid out for them to fol-
low.
Under its provisions a railroad can
not keep its employees at work longer
than nine hours at a stretch. This
naturally means most to trainmen
and telegraphers. The railroads say
there are not enough men in the
country at this time qualified to oc-
supy the thousands Of positions which
must be created IL the new law Is
obeyed by all roads.
The roads argue that under the
present financial conditions, a rigid
observance will cost so much money
that a reduction Of profits will fol-

MURDERER GETS NEW TRIAL.
james Doris, Wallowa County Pio'
neer, Allowed New Hearing on Dy-
ing Statement of Victim.

The oregon supreme court today
granted a new trial in the case of
James Doris, who was convicted of
the killing of Charles G. Sims in Wal
Iowa county in 1906, says recent
dispatch from Salem. Doris was sem
fenced to 10 years in the penitentiary.
The killing was admitted but Doris,
a man Weighing 1875 pounds, claimed
that he had been assaulted by Sims
a man weighing 1856 pounds, and
drew revolver to defend himself,
but the revolver was accidentally
fired, inficting a wound from which
Sims died next day It seems that
Doris was the aggressor in a contro-
serary concerning remarks Sims was
alleged to have made to some ladies'
playing for a dance. During the con-
troversy Doris called Sims a id
liar" and Sims struck Doris. The
shooting followed Immediately.
Sims made a death-bed statement
but there was evidence that he en-
tertained hopes of recovery, though
told by his physician that he might
expect the worst. At the first trial
the death bed statement was admit
ted in evidence and the trial judge,
T. H, Crawford, instructed the jury
that this statement was entitled to
the same consideration as testimony
given by witness under oath. The
supreme court reverses this, holding
that the facts as to Sims hope of re-
covery should also have been submit
ted to the jury so that they could de-
termine whether the statements were
made under such circumstances as
would entitle them to consideration
as the dying declaration of decedent.
This case is distinguished from the de-
cision of state VS.. Foot You, "a Ore
gon, 61-66, in which the question pre-
sented was the admlsibility of the
evidence In the first instance. The
opinion. written by Commissioner
King, discusses many other questions

wouId-be Suicide "Does Poor job"

"Oulu-DO oulCluc 'DOeS FOOT JOD."
Last night at about 8 o'clock Mr..
Thomas Bone, a miner who has been
in this community for the past 20
years, whose eyeslght has been fall
ing and who is now nearly blind, be-
came despondent and back of his lit
tie cabin on Bridge street, just over
the bridge, attempted to cut his throat
says the Baker City Democrat.
The instrument used was razor,
and for the purpose Of committing
the act he went into the woodshed
in the rear of the cabin, fastened 1t
from within and cut his throat from
ear to ear AS he said to q reporter
OF the Democrat: II done a poor Job
of It," but he certainly did succeed
in cutting a frightful cash entirely
around the throat from ear to ear,
and lost a great deal of blood, but
fortunately for him he missed both
of the juglar veins.
AS he lay upon the operating table
at st. Ellzabeth's hospital he present
ed a grewsome sight. His clothing was
saturated with blood. His face and
hands were blood stained, and the
great wound closed by a temporary
bandage only, was the best evidence
of the purpose he had in view.

WOMAN ATTORNEY LOSES CASE
Mrs. Lockwood, Only Woman Who
Was Ever Candidate for President
Defeated i'm law Suit.

Washington, Mar. 9.-Mrs. Belva
A. Lockwood, attorney at law and the
only woman who ever ran for the
presidency of the United States, must
pay to Frank NJ. Rucker, administra-
tor of the estate of James Taylor, OF
Oklahoma, the sum OF $4,000. A
verdict TO this effect was recently
given in circuit court here and it is
said that Mrs. Lockwood will not
further contest the claim.
Friends of Mrs. Lockwood who
hold to the doctrine of equal rights
and woman suffrage, attribute her
defeat in the courts to the fact that
she employed mere men as lawyers
to defend her in the suit.
According to the declaration filed
by Mr.. Rucker Mrs Lockwood, who
Is now a practising attorney in this
city, receiving a fee of $4,000 last
July in a case she won In the court
OF claims This case was in the in
terest of the Eastern Cherokee In
dams of the Indian Territory.
The administrator claimed that Mr..
Taylor, since deceased, had con-
tract with Mrs. Lockwood, under the
terms of which he was to receive a
certain percentage of the proceeds Of
the claim in the event of success, hav-
ing gathered the claims together,
collected evidence, etc.
The jury, upon deliberation, de-
cided that Rucker, as the administra-
tor, was entitled to $5,942,50. to be
added to Taylor's estate as the per-
centage due him of the fee received
by Mrs. Lockwood
Mrs. Lockwood has long been in
terested in cases affecting the Indians
and has won numerous claims for
Poor Lo. Although now nearly SS
years of age. she still retains her
mental vigor. She was twice the
candidate of the Equal Rights Party
for the presidency, first in 1884 and
again in 1883.

Big FIJI Costs Pile of Money.

1t has cost about the big sum of
s1SO,OOO to date to make the one fill
on the north bank road near the old
building erected for a box factory
across the river. The fill Is supposed
to rest on bed OF quick sand and
keeps sinking. The earth next to the
river continues to bulge up, from the
sheer force Of the weight Of the fill
above on the quick sand or what
ever 1t is that causes thetrouble. This
fill could have been avoided by max
ing the curve farther back, but the
company making the road were de-
termined to have as few curves as
possible so no doubt the fill will be
filled" after awhile, but It will con-
sumo a lot OF money.-The Dalles
