Hermiston. Ore, Feb. 26.-While
driving over the project last evening
J. NJ. Scarborough, the Hermiston
merchant, made a ghastly find. He
discovered the head OF n man lying
upon the ground on Umatilla Butte
and II has since been Identified as
that OF Ephriam Hedberg, who so
mysterlously disappeared from UNA
tilla last August.
When found the head was entirely
severed from the remainder OF the
body and OF the latter no trace has
yet been found. Though the head
was largely decomposed the features
could be made out to an extent They
resemble those OF Hedberg as shown
by the photographs sent out by reia-
tives. Immediately after his disap-
pearance.
The head discovered was that Of an
old man and there was but single
tooth remaining in the mouth. 1t
was an eye tooth.
Had Been Slain.
on the left side OF the forehead
was fracture that had either been
caused by some blight instrument Ike
a sand bag or else was due to heavy
fall Those who found the body are
OF the opinion that the old man was
murdered for his money and that his
body had been dragged out into the
sagebrush. II IL believed that the
body was afterwards mutilated by
coyotes and that this accounts for the
head being separated from the trunk.
II was about o'colck last even
ing that the head was found. il num-
ber of men are now out in hopes OF
finding the remainder OF the BODY
Story OF IIedbcrg.
The story of Hedberg's strange dis
appearance and OF the fruitless ell
forts made by relatives to find his
body will doubtless be well remem-
bered by readers of the East ore
gonan.

route to Ashland oregon. He had
nephew. G. H. Hedbcrg. who was
then a Southern Pacific lineman at
Ashland.
The father and daughter were pas
sengers on train No. and while the
train was at Umatilla the old man
left the train to secure a sandwich. |
He never returned and until last
evening not single trace OF his body |
could be found.
At first the daughter thought her
father had missed the train and that
he would go to Portland on the fol-
lowing train But he did not and his
continued absence caused them to
fear he had met with foul play.
Carried Money.
At the time Of his disappearance
he had upon his person drafts aggre-
eating s1OSO. They were upon the
Cumberland state bank of Cumber-
land. Wis
As the days passed by and no trace
of the old man could be found his
relatives began to advertise the fact
of his disappearance The sum OF
500 was offered for any information
leading to his whereabouts, dead or
alive. But nothing came of the
search.

Tom Richardson, manager of the
Portland commercial club and the
head and front of the publicity work
that has been done in oregon during
the past five years, was the guest Of
the Pendleton commercial association
last evening. In an enthusiastic talk
he made some suggestions regarding
the handling of people who will come
west this spring and before the meet
ing adjourned his advice was given
heed.
At $3.50 when the meeting was
called to order the club room was al
most filled by representative local
business and professional men. Af-
ter calling the gathering to order
President Alexander spoke of the
work Mr.. Richardson had been doing
and asked him to address the meet
ing. "A
Early COlonist Traffic.
In a brief, but very forcible and
pointed talk Mr.. Richardson then
went into the subject of the early col
onist travel that will soon be on. He
gave the rates that have been grant,
ed by the Hartman system, 1t being
a uniform rate for all parts of Ore
gon, and he then urged that the club
issue folder calling attention to
these rates with particular emphasis
upon the rate to Pendleton.
In Portland, according to the
speaker 100000 such folders are now
being sent out. They are given the
merchants school children and 9TH
ers for distribution. They are being
sent east by thousands and since the
individuals sending out the literature
pay the postage the cost to the COM
mercial club is very light.
Neighboring Cities Busy.
Con inuing, Mr.. Richardson told of
his visit at Walla Walla and Milton.
At Walla Walla the sum of $4,000
has been raised for publicity work
while in Milton a publicity bureau
has been established and 5000 has
already been subscribed for the same.
At Milton the people are anxious to
be represented in q c. .lGy =. .,.e Sc
lttle fair and if Umatilla county does
not establish an exhibit that section
will doubtless take space in the Wal
la Walla county exhibit.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Richard
sons remarks he was warmly ap-
plauded.
President Alexander then called !
upon others present and brief though !
talks were made by W., !
Moore, T. c. Taylor, J. H. Omen. |
of the O. r. & y. |
Senator c. j. Smith and |
Fred Eppinger of Baker City. Mr..
O'Neill attributed the granting of the
ow early colonist rate to the efforts |
put forth by Mr.. Richardson.
viii Prepare Lcanet.
After the subject had been dis
ussed to some extent President Alex
lnder announced that if there was
10 objection he would appoint a
committee of three to prepare a lit
lie leaflet for distribution. He named
\. l.. Knight, j. V. Tallman and A.
:, Eddy as the committee.
Today the committee has been
planning upon issuing the colonist
ate leaflet and it is proposed to have
5000 of them printed.

asst Friday afternoon Ebert H. Gary

Last Friday afternoon Ebert H. Gary,
the head of the steel trust, announced a
wide open market, and a cut Of from So
to 81 ton. under the agreed schedule
Immediately followed. A New York de-
spatch says that wide open market for
steel has stupendous significance. For
months there has been stagnation in
many industries which ordinarily con-
sumo great quantities Of steel, the high
prices fixed and resorted to by the largest
manufacturers frightening the buyers.
A great revival in the building trades is
now looked for, which will give employ
ment to hundreds of thousands of men in
all parts of the country and bring into
active use all the tens of millions of dol
lars which are practically lying idle in
the vaults of banks and trust companies.
A greater consumption of its products
means not only more work for more men
in the many plants of the steel-making
industry, but more work for more men
where the crude ore is mixed and more
work for more men on the railroads and
lake steamships which transfer the raw
and manufactured products.
