MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF HORSES.
Large Number Of Valuable Horses
Reported to be Missing.-Not
all Thought to be Strays.

There is general complaint or
both sides Of the river throughout
this section of the valley over the
mysterious disappearance of a num-
Der of valuable horses. The COM
plant Is all the more noticed from
the TACT that in number of in
stances the horses are very valuable
animals. In very few cases have the
horses been recovered.
The time was in this section of the
country and in fact anywhere west of
the Divide that horse rustling was
looked upon as crime serious
enough to cause the owners of the
animals to meet out swift and sure
Justice to the parties who caused this
disappearance.
In the present instance 1t may be,
thought very unlikely, that the hor-
ses have simply strayed away, all
the best ones in certain sections.
made up their minds at about the
same time that change of scenery
might be helpful, this decision was
reached without consulting the con-
venience Of the owners. Since the

ways, 1t is only on rare occasions
that horse thieves decorate the
scenery, stretched from some con-
venient cottonwood limb. Patience
ceases to be virtue after certain
length OF time and the limit has
about been reached in the present in
stance. In the other days a vigalan-
tee took the matter into their own
hands, constituting Judge and Jury

we'll. In this day and generation in
many sections of the country the mat
,er is looked after by an AntilHorse
Thief Association, which while not so
strenuous In all its movements was
ust as effective. The association is
n the middle west well organized
'ody OF men and 1t is practically i'm
possible for horse to STRAY" very

umstances 1t might be we'll to or

PORK PRICE GOES SOARING.
Almost Highest Price Since Civil War
Is Recorded in Chicago.

Almost Highest Price Since Civil War
Is Recorded in Chicago.
Chicago, June 5.-Pork for Septem-
Der delivery sold today at $20.071a.
With the exception of brief period in
1906, when cash pork sold for one day
at $40 per barrel, this figure has not,
been seen in this market since the
Cudahy corner in 1898, when it sold at
$23. 1t sold during the Armour cor
ner in 1887, at $24; and the highest
price on record in this market was dur
ing the civil war, when it sold at SAB
per barrel.
With the exception of the manipu-
lated markets of 1898 and 1887, there
fore, the price reached today was prac-
tically the highest since the civil war.
No manipulation of the provision mar
kets is now charged, but the high
prices are due to the disappointing re-
ceipts of hogs during the month of
May, and thus far during the present
month.

COST PROBLEM is SOLVED.
Young Men at University Buy Lot,
Build House and Bach.

University of Oregon, Eugene -
Plans are under way at the university
for erection of a number of small cot
tages in which students can bach.
A very small rent will be charged, just
large enough to cover the interest on
the money invested. 1t has become
the custom for several boys from the
same town to live together while at
tending the university. These new
cottages will furnish mode of living
at Eugene so cheap as to make it pos
sible for many small groups of self
supporting students to obtain college
education who could not otherwise
afford it.
Four Hood River boys-Cash, Pat
tee, Lucky and Garrabrant, are the
demonstrators of this new scheme.
Last September they began monthly
payments on $125 lot. On this land
they erected little two-story house at
the expense of $92. Their living ex-
penses per man per month since then
have varied between SIS and So. Feb
ruary, with its 2S days, cost them
$5.15, while one other month their ex-
penses ran as low as $3.50.
The culinary pursuits of these boys
in no wise interfere with their high
scholarship nor are they prevented
from taking part in the different stu
dent enterprises.

TRAIN GOES THROUGH TRESTLE
Plucky Engineer and Firemen Minim-
ize Disaster.

Cottage Grove, Or, June 6.-When
on the middle of Kern bridge, span
ming Row river, on the Oregon &
Southeastern, mixed train crashed
through and fell, all but the engine. 40
feet into the stream below at 80
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Seven
teen passengers were hurt, all of them
more or less seriously. All the avail
able surgeons from Cottage Grove were
rushed to the scene of the accident by
special train and the report from the
wreck is that, while all the passengers
are still alive, it is believed several
are fatally hurt.
John Coates, the fireman, went down
with the train, fell in the river, swan
out, hurried to the nearest telephone
and phoned for assistance and all the
available doctors. The work train had
Just arrived and having steam up, a
relief train was hurried to the scene.
The wrecked train was due here at 5
o'clock, and the engine had just cleared
the bridge when the center span gave
way. The activity of Engineer Will
liam Ostrander saved the engine from
piling on top of the other cars in the
ravine. Ostrander set the brakes and
the train parted at the tender, twisting
the rods and the engineer was seriously
injured by the reversing lever. The
tender now rests on top the coach, II
feet of which is under water.

Big STREET CAR
STRIKE ENDED
Concessions From Both Sides Finally
Bring Settlement.
Politicians Act as Mediators-Mayor
Suggests an Agreement and Both
Sides Accept-Men Get ~ Gents,
an Hour, Ten-Hour Day, and Buy
Uniforms in Open Market.

Philadelphia, June 5.-"The strike
has been settled. The men will re-
ceive % cents an hour beginning to-
morrow morning, and 10 hours will
constitute days work."
This statement tonight from c. 0.
Pratt, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Amalgamated Association
of Street Railway Employees, followed.
by the deportation of the 450 nom
union workmen, marked the end of the
strike OF employees of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company. The trouble
began last Saturday.
The settlement was brought about
primarily by State Senator James +.
McNichol, republican leader of this
city, at conferences yesterday with the
traction officials and labor representa-
tives. These conferences were fol-
lowed by others today.
After being in session nearly all day
the men agreed to accept % cents an
hour. The old "swing system" has
been abolished, 10 hours will consti-
tute a days work, all employees will be
permitted to purchase their uniforms
in the open market, all future difficult
ties are to be adjusted between the
company and a grievance committee
chosen by the employees.
After a conference in City hall which
lasted until early today, Mayor Rey-
burn made public letter addressed to-
John B. Parsons, president of the tran
sit company, in which he offered the
terms for settlement of the strike.
He suggested among other things the
following:
"All former employees will be re-
stored to their former positions.
"Your employees to form represen-
tative body which shall from time to
time be accorded full opportunity to
take up with the proper officers of the
company any and all questions affect
ing the rights ofemployes.
"The rate of wages beginning July
l., 1909, to be % cents an hour.
"These conditions to continue for
one, two or three years, as may be
agreed upon."
. President Parsons made an immed-
late reply accepting the suggestions.
Some dissatisfaction is expressed by
the strikers, who do not regard the rate
of wages named as concession. How
ever, the agreement gives them shorter
hours and comedies them the right to,
purchase their uniforms from whom
they please.

BROWNS IN NIAGARA.
Man All But Dies in Effort to Save
Suicide Wife.


Niagara Falls, N. Y, June s.
Aaron Cohen, of Buffalo, N. Y, saw
his young wife leap into the swirling
river between Second and Third Sisters
islands today, only $50 feet above the
brink of the cataract.
Without moments hesitation, he
followed her, caught her hand, and
struggled desperately to save her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her hus-
bands arms.
Before it was possible to bring etti-
cient help an hour had passed. All this
time Cohen was making frantic at
tempts to reach the shore. But the
struggle against the current-at this
point it is about 20 miles an hour-was
beyond his power.
Fortune aided him, however. With
his wife tightly clasped to him, he
bumked into tree stump, and on this
he got grip with his one free hand.
There he stayed and shouted for help.
Finally word was carried to the res
ervation police, and Policeman James
Martin and three other men with ropes
hurried to the scene. Three times they
threw rope before it fell within
Cohen's grasp. When he did catch it,
he was too weak to tie it about his own
or his wife's waist.
The two were 20 feet away from
shore, and it was extremely difficult,
owing to the precarious nature of the
footing, to make a good cast. Pinned
against the tree by the terrific rush OF
water, all the strength had gone out OF
Cohen, and he had been unable to keep
his wife's face above water.
Once Cohen had hold of the rope, the
men ashore began to pull. Martin,
who was in front, slipped and fell into
the stream, but quickly regained his
footing. When within Is feet of the
shore, Cohen lost his grip on his wife's
body, and it was carried down stream
and was lost to view.

AIRSHIP RUNS AWAY.
Inventor Drives Damaged Craft to
Earth and Slides Down Rope.

Inventor Drives Damaged Craft to
Earth and Slides Down Rope.
East st. Louis, H., June IA cast
away in the skies through the breaking
of his guide rope, which formed his
only connection with the earth, and
later an areonaut on the ground, with
his ship floating away through space,
pursued on the ground by an automo-
bile, Claude M. Zellers, one-legged
inventor, tonight contributed new
pages to the history of aeronautics.
In machine of no tpye known to
aeronautics, invented by William
Smith, a cattle-dealer, and described
as the largest aeroplane in the world,
Zellers flew from East St. Louis this
afternoon at 5 80 o'clock. When 100
feet up the guide rope became en-
tangled in an apple tree and snapped,
leaving the aviator 'castaway. he
sailed 40 miles in zigzag' course and
succeeded in making hazardous land
ing at Belleville, 20 miles from where
he started.
Zellers was unable to stop his ma
chinery, but pointed the nose of his
craft toward the ground and allowed it
to shoot down like meteor until the
end of the broken rope trailed on the
ground. Just as Zellers slid down the
rope, a distance of 70 feet, it broke
and the dirigible, its engines going
full speed, scared into the sky without
a pilot.
Zellers pursued the bag for time in
an automobile, but could not keep up
with it,
