10 o'clock in the forenoon of March Is
1909, as the result of the explosion of the
called. of the American Ice Co, at Farm.
ingdale.
This was the verdict which was reach
ed by the conorer's jury which had beer
empannelled by Coroner +. NJ. Henderson
of Hallowell to determine the cause o!
death of the two men who on Tuesday
were blown to their death at Rich's ice
houses.
The jury was composed of II. e. Clear
water, Hallowell, foreman; George Sher-
man, Randolph; Archie Buker, Randolph
Harry Bradstreet, Farmingdale: w. H.
Johnson, Hallowell; George Allen, Chel-
sea. The jury had previously viewed thu
remains of the two men.
The inquest opened at $50. County At
torney Guy A. Hildreth was present in
the interests of the State but took no
part in the examination of witnesses. EX

the coroner and the members of the jury
TO conduct the inquest without himself
asking any questions
The witnesses We're Frank Z. Chase,
foreman of the plant; w. J. Goodrich,
timeleeper, and John Blair John Allen.
a. c. Partridge, l.. A. Clifford and Rod
ney Jordan, employees of the American
Ice Co.
The testimony of each witness was
brief, most of the questioning being done
by Coroner Henderson and Foreman
Clearwater with an occasional intelroga-
tory by one of the other juryment
The bulk of the testimony went to show
that the boiler at the Rich ice houses
had been in use from 20 to 90 years. and
two witnesses declared having heard thai
it was a secondhand boiler when it was
installed in the plant The boiler had
been through a fire, which destroyed the
old buildings at Rich's several years ago.
1t developed that the workmen had been
in the habit of eating their dinners ut the
engine house, but did not do SO for some
time before the explosion for fear of an
accident Each man told practically me
same story of the scene at the time Of
the accident, and of the finding Of the
body of Ridley. the engineer, and Of
Hutchinson, who was then still alive.
John Blair. one of the witnesses. told
of an interview between himself and En-
gineer Ridley some time before the ox-
plosion. Blair had asked Ridley if lie vas
not afraid the boiler would blow up. ana
he engineer had replieG:
whats the us. of being scared
The witness was afraid That the boiler
might blow up at any time. ne said that
the boiler tubes leaked.
How badly did it leak?" asked Fore
man Clearwater.

fire door" replied the witness.
The jury occupied about half an hour
in deibcraton behind closed doors after
which the above verdict was announced.v

SHOULD FINANCE
THRESHER FACTORY
Continued from page 1.)

Umatilla county produces about one
per cent Of all OF the wheat grown in
the United States. To thresh this
great output requires the use of many
machines. Nearly every threshing
machine manufacturing concern in
America belongs to the trust and the
prices paid for each machine. are far
too great. The organization Of cor
lporation Of farmers and business men
OF Umatllla county to manufacture,
on a large scale, the Reynolds ma
chine would be the greatest business
venture ever launched in the county
by home capital. The proposition
should have the most careful consid-
Grafton by every farmer and business
man in the country. The mechanics Of
the Pendleton Iron Works at Pendle-
ton who have built this machine, and
the men who have supervised its con-
struction, are certain, beyond any
question Of doubt, that the machine
can be manufactured here and placed
on the market more cheaply by many
dollars than any other machine doing
an equivalent amount of work; that
every stockholder can easily realize
a good dividend upon the stock sub
scribed, and that as an investment 1t
will beat leanding money at ten per
cent interest.
Pendleton has been called dead"
town long enough. It is not dead by
any means. For its size no other town
IN America does the volume of busl-
ness or has more enterprising men,
The organization Of company to
manufacture this machine means the
same thing, and much more, to PEN
dleton than the Gilbert Hunt company
means to Walla Walla and for many
years it has been the pride of that
city. 1t would mean that Pendleton
would have no more empty houses of
any kind, but the stimulation would
be such that the city would grow as
never before. Hundreds of laborlng
men would be furnished steady en-
ployment, and as the building of one
manufacturing esldoIlsHIneht Is an IN |
centive to the building Of others it |
would be only a matter of a short |
time until Pendleton would have a
reputation as a manufacturing city |
greatly to be proud of.
It has not yet been decided what |
the amount of each share of capital
stock of the corporation will be. but !
perhaps not less than $4,000. It is
II be hoped that fifty men will sub
scribe 100000 each right away and
that the entire capital stock will be
the company properly or
ganized, the business started in time
to have several machines ready for
the market next season.
