TIMMS MURDER IS MYSTERIOUS CASE Cochran, Alleged Murderer,
 Refuses to Talk FRIENDS ALSO RETlCENT There Are Two Sides To the Affair and Full Investigation Must Be Made Before Circumstances
 Are Known.
FRIENDS ALSO RETlCENT

Anniston, May 6.-(Special. l.)-The re- mains of Jim Timms, who was killed Wednesday morning at his home on the Ben Jones farm near Boiling Springs, by J. L. Cochran, his son-in-law, were buried Thursday in the church-yard al Boiling Springs.
 coffin was secured from Murphy & Rhudy of this city about 8 o'clock Wednesday night. by w N. Poss and c. c. Medlin of the Boiling Springs community.
 There are little developments in the tragedy. Mystery seems to surround the affair, and those who are supposed to know the facts refuse to talk, but enough has been gleaned to show that in public opinion there are two sides to the case-one that Cochran killed Timms in self-defense and the other that he was not justified in taking the life of his father-in-law.
 The story as told by Cochran's friends Is that Timms had attempted to slay Cochran about o'clock "Wednesday morning with shotgun, as Cochran was going about his work, and would probably have been successful but for the superior strength of Cochran. the younger and abler man, who wrested the weapon from Timms' hands and then shot him with a pistol. It is said to be the belief among Timms' friends that he was suffering from dementla and was not really responsible for his acts though Cochran claims that even this condition of his father -in-law would not justify the condemnation of Cochran for killing Timms, as he had to do it or be killed himself by Timms. It is said that Timsm had exhibited very bad humor Tuesday night and in dulged in a number of threats of vio- fence to his family. going to bed at night it is alleged, with his shotgun in his arms. Wednesday morning, it is claimed, Timms was very cross. abusing his wife and indulglng in many threats. all of which Is told in support mind and was. at least, temporarily in sane.
 It is said that Timms had exhibited were on terms of perfect amity and at they were engaged together in work. Wednesday morning, o'clock, Cochran had hook ed ule and was going to the field hen Timms Is said to have

Indin's Mica Industry

Consul-General William H. Mich
ael. of Calcutta. advises that an Am
erican company has acquired a mica
mine near Kodarma, which is on the
East India railway $50 miles from
Calcutta. and is operating with sue
cess The output in 1907 was cur
tailed samewhat by financial con-
ditions in the United States whittier
the whole production of the mine is
exported. The company is really a
part OF a concern operating in the
United States in the manufacture of
mica goods of all kinds. The COM
pany employs 700 hands at Kodarma
and a European assistant superin-
tendent. all under practical mica
man, who is a native of the United
states. The company shipped in 1907
200 cases of 100 pounds each and ex-
poets to increase the amount. The
mica mining industry in other dis
tricts is reported to be steadily in
creasing. The total exports of mica
during 1907 increased by S477666
over the previous year, or 59.75 per
cent.

mary. That he was fit timber for the
governorship seems evident from the
manner of his election and also from
his brief address given at Olympia
Wednesday Though his illness kept
him from preparing an elaborate
message 10 the legislature, Cosgrove
made a brief talk to the assembled
legislators and he gave some advice
which II followed will be for the bet
terment of the Evergreen state.
But regardless Of this and regard
less of Cosgrove's personal and po-
litlcal record, the people Of the north
west, through the instinct of COM
mon kindness. will rejoice because he
was able to take the office he had
won. His Inauguration was the cli-
max of his life-a life of work and
worry. Who will begrudge him the
that must now be his.

SAVE THE MILL.

Pendleton cannot afford to lose the
woolen mill. AS matters now stand
II would be a disgrace TO the city If
the Bishops were required to take
their plant away. For months the
people of the city have been hoping
to see the mill rejuvenated. This
hope will now be realized if the To-
cal property owners and business men
will but do their part.
Good, practical mill men are ready
and anxious to rebuild the mill If
they can secure the local support that
is needed. The sum of $4,000 must
be raised in order to take the pro-
posed bond issue. Most of this has
been secured and the remainder must
be had by tomorrow. Will it be rails
ed?
Believing in the business integrity
of the Bishops and believing that the
plant they Intend to establish will be
sufficient security for the local in
vestors, the East Oregonian has re-
peatedly advised local people TO take
the bond issue. As proof of this pa
pers sincerity in the matter it may
be stated here that the East Orego-
nian Publishing company has itself
subscribed for some of the bonds. 1t
did so because this paper firmly be-
lieves that with the Bishop brothers
in control the Pendleton woolen mill
can be operated successfully and fur
thermore that the successful opera
ton of the mill will work to the bene-
fit Of Pendleton and of every person
within the city.
In view Of the short time the COM
mittee now has in which to secure
the remaining money the situation
is serious. The full amount must be
raised by tomorrow or this city will
suffer a loss that will be sadly felt.
II the mill is taken away it will be to
Pendleton's disgrace and it will be
many, many years before another
wooden mill can be established here.
Now is the time for those who want
to build up this city to come to the
front. Help take the bond issue and
thereby help retain the mill in Pen
dleton. If you have not been solicit
ed, hunt up the committee. See G.
NJ Rice, w. L. Thompson, Will
Moore, E. T. Wade or someone else
and subscribe for a small block oil
the bonds.
The wooden mill must be saved and
the people Of Pendleton must save
IT, Take hold and help.

INTERESTING NEWS.

The branch asylum bill passed the
house of representatives yesterday
and the press reports state that the
bill will meet with no difficulties in
the senate. This is news of decided
importance to this city.
Under the provisions of the bill the
sum of s225,OOO is appropriated for
branch asylum and it must be To-
Gated in this county or in Baker coun-
ty. The institution will be located
either in the vicinity of Pendleton
or Baker City at the option of the
state board.
The location of the branch asylum
is going to mean much to the town
that gets it. The institution will have
a capacity of 600 patients and will
have from so to 100 employees. The
supplies for the institution will make
much business for local merchants
and friends and relatives visiting in
mates will make business for the ho-
tells.
Pendletoh property owners and
business men. have reasons for feel
ing elated over the outlook for Sc
curing the asylum. While the loca-
ton of the institution is as yet unde-
termined, Pendleton has far better
reasons for hope than has Baker
City. When the time comes the state
board will find that this is the logi-
cal point, from a geographical and
climatic standpoint for the location
Of the asylum. But of course this is
matter for the future.

GOOD JUDGMENT.

The house committee on education
is showing good judgment in turning
down the bill to place all the educa-
tional institutions of the state under
single board of five regents. The
passage of the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Libby might work meal
culable harm to the schools of the
state.
Under the proposed measure the
control of the normal schools. of the
agricultural college and of the state
university would be vested in a board
of five men who would draw salaries.
Such board would have an enor-
nous power and it is doubtful If real
ly big men could be induced to serve
because they would have to devote
all their time to the work. Positions
on the board would very likely go to
politicians, of lesser calibre at that,
and the schools would suffer there
by.
The rational thing for this legisla-
ture to do is to vote money for the
proper support Of the schools and
then leave them alone. Give them a
chance to grow in peace. If neces-
sary to change the manner of gov
erning the schools, such a change can
be made later when it's need becomes
more manifest than at present.

THE BORDERLAND.

l step across the mystic borderland
| Art
How beautiful, how beautiful its
hills!
And all its valleys. how surprising
fair!
The winding paths that lead up to
the heights
Are polished by the footsteps of the
great;
The mountain peaks stand very near
to God;
The chosen few whose feet thereon
have trod
Have talked with Him and with the
angels walked.
Here are no sounds of discord, no
profane
or senseless gossip of unworthy
things;
Only the songs OF chisels and of pens,
OF busy brushes, and ecstatic strains
OF souls surchargd with music most
divine;
Here is no idle sorrow, no poor grief
For any day or object left behind,
For time is counted precious; and
herein
Is such complete abandonment of Self
That tears turn into rainbows, and
enhance
The beauty OF the land where all is
fair.
Awed and afraid, I cross the border
land.
Oh, who am l. that dare enter here
Where the great artists of the world
have trod,
The genius-crowned aristocrats of
Earth?
Only the singer of a little song:
Yet loving Art with such a mighty
love
l hold it greater to have won a place.
Just on the fair lands edge to make
my grave
Than in the outer world of greed and
gain
To sit upon a royal throne and reign.

How to Use Crude Oil on the Scalp.


The use of coal oil on the scalp is
quite common, but not every one who
knows the value OF petroleum realizes
that crude oil is even better The
former, being not 50 heavy as the crude
product, works farther into the scalp
and may affect the color glands.
In using either the crude oil or pc

one else apply it. 1t is almost impos-

Crude oil should be applied at least
a day before the hair is to be sham

of the fingers. If this is done the hair

Be sure after applying crude oil that

While the school garden as an edu
