COLONISTS COME
IN TRAIN LOADS

Although from one passenger to
parties in several families lighted here
from the crowded westbound trains
since inauguration Of the rates, Hood
River has not yet felt the full effect
from the influx Of homeseekers because
of the fact that most of the Colonists
desire to see Portland before becoming
permanently located. A great many
will undoubtedly return here from the
metropolis. The beautiful spring
weather that the Valley has recently
been enjoying has greatly impressed
the new arrivals.
The Portland Journal says that II the
Oregon colonist rush. keeps up for the
entire 80 days Of low rates as it COM
menced last week, the total of arrivals
will not be far from 5000. The O.-W.
r. & N. company has maintained a
daily average Of 600 arriving on five
trains, including the Soo.Spokane.
Figures on arrivals are not given by
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific but they approximate the num-
ber at 900 a day for both roads. or a
total of more .than 1000 for the first

THE OTHER
NATIONS
DESIRE IT
FRANCE AND ENGLAND WILL
ASK FOR THE SAME TRADE
CONCESSIONS GRANTED CAN
ADA-BUT HAVE NOTHING TO
SWAP.

I Washington, April 5.-Intimation
is made here today in diplomatic cir
cles that France and England are
preparing to ask from the United
States the same tariff concessions it
is proposed to give 10 Canada.
The impression, however, is gen.
eral that the requests will be- denied.
1t is pointed out that the concessions
are to be given Canada only when
the Dominion similarly comedies GER
tain points, and that foreign ma
tions, therefore, will not be in posi-
ton to claim the same favors under
their trade treaties.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, chief
of the progressive Republicans, is
planning to amend the Canadian rec
iprocity treaty when 1t Gomes up in
the senate. He proposes to place ad-
ditional products than those already
named on the free list, without ask
ing like concessions from Canada If
his amendment is adopted the United
States will be placed in position
where it will be forced to grant sim
liar concessions to other nations.
The administration seeks TO block
Cummins' plan.

They WANT
A SALOON
AT SYDNEY

The loggers in the mills of Polk
county and near Sydney want a sa-
loon near that place, so that their
thirst can be quenched. The people
of Sydney-and there are in all
about three of them-and in the i'm
mediate vicinity are opposed to a
thirst emporium, and there prom
ises to be an interesting fight waged
before the board of county commits
sioners when the petition comes up
for consideration in the next few
days.
The population f Sydney is COM
posed of but two or three people,
but near are a number of sawmills
and logging camps About two miles
from Sydney there is a gallon house
now supplying the Thirsty lOggers
with the liquid that cheers, but the
loggers want to take it in smaller
quantities and more frequently and
to man they have signed the petit
tion to have the gaifon house con-
verted into a saloon. The sawmill
men and the people are opposed to
it, as there is an absence of police
protection, and will contest It.
Many Road Petitions.
The board convened this morning
and has spent the day in considering
routine matters. Tomorrow 1t will
consider road petitions, and the next
day It will probably consider the pc
tition for the sydney saloon license.
A petition for a road south of Sill
verton and another asking for one
from Marion to Turner promise to
develop into contests.

THE LORIMER
SLUSH FUND
WAS 100000

Springfield, ILL.,, April 5.-Clar-
ence S. Funk, general superintend-
ent of the International Harvester
Company, testified this afternoon be-
fore the senate's Lorimer investigat-
ing committee that Edward Hines,
the Chicago lumber magnate, had
asked his company for $4,000 to
form a part of 100000 slush fund
which had been raised to elect Lori
mer.
Funk is the man to whom H. P.
Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago
Record-Herald, referred when he said
he had information from reliable
source that efforts had been made to
raise money from corporators for 1or
liners election. Kohlsaat took the
stand before the investigating COM
mittee at noon, and said he had been
released from his pleGge not to give
the name of his informant
He told the committee that Funk
was the man who had told him of
the alleged slush fund.
According to the story Funk told
the committee, Hines met him after
Lorimer's election, and said:
We'll, we've elected Lorimer, but
it cost us $1OO,O 900 to do it. Some Of
you fellows must dig up. We have
to have the money quickly and we
paid it, depending uDon about 10 of
you fellows to reimburse us"
Funk testified that Hines told him
to send the money to Edwin Tilden,
president of the National Packing
company. He said that he did not
know the other persons referred to,
and did not know for what purpose
the 100000 had been used. He said
that he had expostulated with Hines
against the expenditure of the $1O,-
900 he had been called upon to give,
and that Hines had replied:
"You people are as much interest
ed in haviTE the right kind of man
in the. senate as we are"
Kohlsaat and Funk were the only
witnesses called before the commit
tee today, The members then went
into executive session. The hearings
were adjourned until April 49,. 1t is
expected that in the meantime sub
poenas will be issued for Tilden and
Hines. at

"The specific designs required, be-

takes especial care to prevent them

The department also stipulated
that the plans should not be re-

obtained the contract for building

Disregarded Evidence.

That the jury disregarded the evil
dence is evident from the verdict re-
turned. Judge Kelly instructed the
jury that under the indictments three
verdicts might be returned; first, a
verdict for IAN assault with dan
gerous weapon" upon an officer
which had attached to 1t the death
penalty; second, verdict for "an as
sault with dangerous weapon upon
a person." and lastly verdict for a
simple assault" That O'Rourke
realized when he made the attack
that Simpson was an officer of the
institution was proven beyond a
doubt and in order to find the defen-
dant guilty of the lesser crime-that
is an assault with dangerous wea-
pom against a person-it was neces-
sary for the jury to disregard the
testimony adduced on this point.
The five Jurors who favored the lesser
offense probably chose to disregard
this evidence because they believed
that the death pnalty was too severe
a punishment for the crime and the
other seven who finally surrendered
to the five probably did so because
they realized that unless they did

the law on the subject contemplated
but the one crime-an assault with a

could be found-guilty or not guilty
of that offense.
