FATHER DENIES
HE WAS INCENDIARY

That sheepmen are responsible for
the burning of his son-in-law's barn
instead OF himself. is the statement of
Bill Walker, the man arrested last
week at the instance of his son-inla
William Anderson. 81 am innocent
but If they can prove me guilty I will
take my medicine" the old man is al
so quoted as saying.
Walker was arraigned before JUS
tice of the Peace Joe H. Parkes Sat
urday afternoon and was released un-
der $1,000 bonds which were furnished
by Jerry Despair of this city and d.
G. Smith of Ritter.
The old man is demanding an early
hearing and this will probably be
granted this week. Witnesses are now
being summoned from the scene of the
trouble but owing to the inaccessible
ity of the region in which the parties
live it is probable that the hearing
will not occur before the last of the
week.

municate with anyone outside of the
prison walls. Sometimes political
prisoners die in Jail and then, of
course there is no need of standing
against mud wall to face line of
rifles. 1t might be said with more
than a shadow of the truth that such
death might save the trouble to the
authorities and that the conditions in
the jails are frequently such THAI

sity of an execution"

Tha the o. R. & N. company is
really in earnest in the move to
straighten the track, reduce grades,
make tunnels and otherwise improve
the road between Huntington and
Portland, is evidenced by the filing
Of several right Of way suits in the
circuit court at The Dalles. It is
stated in the con at the land
is desired for the ening of the
track between De----. -ation and
The Dalles. but according TO a report
from the latter city, it is believed
that it is really the intention of the
railroad company to double track its
line from La Grande to Portland.
In speaking Of the proposed remov-
al Of curves, the Dalles Chronicle
says.
While this would be an important
move on the part OF the o. R. & N,
one which would be welcomed by all
travellers on the road between the
points mentioned. the report is cur
rent here that the railroad company
has still more important move up
its sleeve, that the property on which
right of way suits have been filed,
is wanted fo4 the purpose Of double
tracking the road. IRON an authen-
tic railroad source the news is re-
ceived here that the O. R. & y. will
double its tracks from La Grande
to Portland.
Were such an improvement made,
It would greatly lessen the time now
consumed in the handling of freight
between these two points Much time
is now wasted due to the side-track-
ing for passenger trains as this traffic
is exceedingly heavy, and according
to the state law, freight crew is not
allowed to work more than 16 hours
without taking a rest of eight hours.
A few nights ago a freight crew
was compelled to stop at Rowena, on
the trip to this city from Portland.
for eight hours because the allotted
16 hours on the road had been con-
sumed. Rowena is only five miles
west of. The Dalles but this short haul
should not be made until an eight
hour hest had been taken. Were a
double track in use the delay caused
by sidetracking on the trip between
Portland and Rowena would have
been oblterated so that the train
'oul7 have -aached this city with its
freight in Is hours, eight hours
sooner than It did.
1t is estimated by railroad men
hat eight hours lost on every division
IN hauling freight from La Grande to
Portland, a loss of "a hours on the
rip which would be done away with
