GRADE TO HARRISBURG
READY FOR THE RAILS

Harrisburg, Ore, July 19.-The Or
egon Electric grade is now completed
from Albany to this city and the large
force Of men and teams which have
been at work in this vicinity for the
past month have been moved south to
points in Lane county. The track
laying crew of 15O men will again take
up the work of laying steel within a
few days from the point eight or nine
miles south of Albany where work
was stopped the first Of the mNnth to
enable the crew to help put the fin
ishing touches on the line into Albany
so cars could begin operation on the
Fourth.
Steel is laid at the rate of two miles
a day, when the work is well under
way, so that the line can be complet-
ed to Harrisburg in 10 days after re-
suming work. 1t is reported that the
company will rush the work to this
point in order to enable 1t to ship the
steel and other bridge material for the
big bridge across the Willamette at
this point over its own track, and thus
save heavy freight charges, which
would otherwise go to its rival.

MAKING IT
WARM FOR
HANFORD

Seattle, Wash, July 19.-Judge c.
H. Hanford's speech against the Pin
chot policies before the National Con-
servation congress in September, 1909
and testimony Of attorneys in the Gill
recall and the Seattle, Renton and
Southern injunction suits, featured
this mornings session before the con-
gressional probe committee.
The committee left the details of
both these cases out Of the oral tes-
timony wherever the court documents
covered the subject, indicating there
by an eagerness to finish up the TAX
ing Of testimony tomorrow night.
Hanford's conservation speech was
made an exhibit in connection with
the testimony about the Han.
irrigation company In the testimony
Of George II. Plummer western sale
agent for the Northern Pacific rail-
way, It was shown that the Hanford
company obtained thousands Of acres
Of land In Eastern Washington which
the federal reclamation service de-
sired held in reserve, II possible The
exhibit was allowed to go into the
record as tending to show personal
reasons for Judge Hanford's activity
against the government reclamation
department
Walter Shaffner, attorney for Hiram
Gill in the injunction suit TO prevent
the recall election in 1911 testified
that Judge Hanford told him he did
not want to stop the election, but
merely to prevent unlawful expendi-
ture Of money. shaffner was attor-
ney for Frank II. Scobey, a non-resi-
dent, who owned property which
would have been affected TO the ex-
tent of seven cents by the election.
Wilson Tucker, attorney on the op-
posing side, testified that, in his opin-
ion, the only question before Hanford
was one Of jurisdiction. He also said
that any kind Of an order, such as re-
strainlng the comptroller from spend
ing money on the reelection, would
have the effect Of jeopardizing the
holding Of the recall election.
Scott Calhoun, corporation counsel
lat that time, testified briefly in the

RUNAWAY
TEAM LANDS
IN A WELL

Pendleton, Or, July 19.-One of the
most frightful accidents recorded in
the county occurred at noon yester-
day, when a team Of mules driven by
Henry Doan, a rancher on Little Nc
Kay creek, became unmanageable and
ran away in the field where James
Doan was operating a mower.
The mules ran into the moving out
fit, upsetting the machine and the
team of horses drawing it started off
at mad gait. Doan was thrown from
his seat and dragged for a considable
distance, one wheel of the mower
passing over his body, Having freed
themselves from the mower and driv-
er, the excited team dashed on until a
deep open well was encountered and
both animals plunged into the same.
Before aid could reach them the
horses were dead, The injured man,
James Doan, was rushed by automo-
lille to the hospital, where It was
found his hip was broken, and only
by skilled surgical aid were two fin
gers on his left hand saved. A long
scalp wound was also sustained, as
well as severe body bruises and cuts,
Witnesses to the accident marvel
that Doan was not killed outright
when the wheel of the mower passed
over him. That he escaped without
being cut to pieces by the mower is
considered marvellous. Physicians say
he will recover.

The arrest OF Lieutenant Becker of the New
York police is of national significance rs chow

is an accepted theory OF political life IN Amer
lea The reason for such condition IL tnat
the American temperament is given over 10
business rather than politics, in the better
sense of the word The citizen in the average
American city has a strange sense OF detach-
ment and Indifference as to what goes on in the
municipality in whose government he IS sup

In other words he falls very far short OF
taking his politics even his Hberties-se-
rously.
II is therefore encouraging that even In
