After a thor ough Investigation, they could And no direct proof as to who the guilty person is. The murdered man, V. M. Jennings, "had a contract to supply the Granite Hill mine with wood, and had a wood crew of IS men at work. ' He was about 50 years old and had a wife artd four "chil dren. His wife loft him last Spring, re turning to her parents in North Carolina. Jennings lived In a small three-room hottse near the mint, having with him a girt, aged IS. one aged 9, a boy of 16 and one of 14 years. He slept in a small bed room downstairs off .the living-room, while the two girls slept in the same room in a bed three feet distant from their father's. The boys slept in a little attic room. The flrst that was known of the murder ws this morning, when the youngest boy came down to build a fire and finding no matches in the kitchen, went to the bed room to get some, where he discovered his father dead.

HIDDEN TRIAD IS NOW ENDED Court of Triers of Appeals Upholder Rev. Elliott. . , VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept S. (Special.) A final settlement of the Hidden church trial was reached by a unanimous vote of, the court of triers of appeals yesterday at Contralja, which sustained the verdict rendered by tho Jury at this city on July 25. This court Is the highest court open to a lay member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the last resort for Mrs. Hid den. The court before whom the trial was held is the result of the general con vention which was held in Los Angeles In May. the members of which are con fined to not less than seven and not more than X, all of whom must be selected one from each pastoral district. The main point in the prosecution was that the defendant, Mrs. Hidden. Teclted several statements that were given out In the sermons of Rev. Mr. Elliott In con nection with some of her points, and were not meant in trie sense stated by Mrs. Hidden, hence they were worse than lies. This accusation, as well as all of the other accusations, was sustained by the court after they had considered the vari ous points of the case pending. The re sult of the trial Js very satisfactory to tho vast majority of the members of the church, as they are heartily In favor of Mr. Elliott. SURF CLAIMS A VICTIM. Fisherman Dound for Gray's Har- hor Is Drowned In Breakers. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 8. (Special.) Alfred Paterson, who reached here on the afternoon train from South Bend, tells a thrilling story of his escape from death In the breakers off Shoalwatcr Bay, on Wednesday last, and the drowning of a companion named Alexander Orloff. Paterson and Orloff started from As toria for Gray's Harbor In a fishing-boat, intending to work here during the sea son. Off Shoalwater Bay they were caught In a very rough sea, and In mak ing port the boat was capsized. Paterson succeeded In reaching shore after a des perate struggle in the breakers, but Or loff lost his life after endeavoring to use their provision box for a life preserver. Paterson came here to notify Orloff's wife of the death of her husband, she having preceded him by train to find housekeeping rooms. Orloff was about 45 years of age. OUT FOR STATE PRINTER W. J. CLARKE, OF 3IARION, IS THE DATEST ASPIRANT. Valley County Is Well Supplied With Candidates for the Com ing State Election. SALEM, Or., Sept. S. (Special.) Marlon County has one more candidate for a state office In the person ot W. J. Clarke, of Gorvals, who aspires for the Repub lican nomination for State Printer. Mr. Clarke is publisher of the Gervais Star, and has told his friends that he has be gun an active campaign for the nomina tion for the office Vof State Printer at the direct primary. From present appearances it seems like ly that State Printer J. R. Whitney will have many competitors In the race for the nomination. Mr. Whitney has served one term and thinks that under the usual rules of politics in Oregon he is entitled to W. J. Clarke, Candidate for state Printer. a second term. His competitors take a different view, and think that one term is enough for a State Printer. The other aspirantH are: W. .S. Duniway. of Port land, and S. C. Beach, of Portland, both well-known printers. Clarke's candidacy is of particular inter est here because of Its probable effect upon the aspirations of other Marlon County seekers for nominations on the Republican ticket. It Is generally felt that the places on the ticket should be dis tributed geographically as much as pos sible. It Is generally admitted that if a populous county like Marlon should get too many places on the ticket, prejudice would be created In other sections and the vote at the polls materially reduced. Marlon has now two or three candidates for Congress, one tentative candidate for the Governorship, three candidates for the office of Secretary of State, and one candidate for State Printer. It Is to the Interest of eaoh candidate to throw tho other offices to some other county, so that his own election, if he should win the nomination, would "be the more secure. Mr. Clarke's entrance into the race for the office of State Printer may have the effect of complicating some of the con tests already waging. Bids for Barton Bridge Opened. OREGON CITY. Or., Sept. 8. (Special.) Bids for the construction of a bridge across the Clackamas at Barton and. the building of the necessary approaches were today opened by the County Court, which has taken the proposals under advise ment.

Royal & Son. $12,709; Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company, $13, 9S0; Burrell Construction Company, $13. 320; the International Contract Company, $13,396.69; Portland Bridge & Building Company, $12,500. This bridge is opposed by the Oregon City Board of Trade and a great many of the Granges of the coun ty. Of the required cost of "the structure, the County Court agrees to appropriate $6000, a similar sum having been raised by popular subscription, and to which the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany, which will derive the bulk of the benefit in the making of the proposed improvement, contributed $3000. There remains to be subscribed about $2500 bo fore the bridge will be assured. Spokane Ladies Will Not Resign. SPOKANE. Wash.. Sept. 8. (Special.) The threatened resignation of the Spo kane Fair week hostess and assistants was averted today. The Council commit tee agreed to allow $SO0 instead of $400.

NO - .INDUCEMENTS San Francisco Has Aided In Securing 'Transportation -Facilities and Is Likely to Get All the Business. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Sept. 8. (Spe cial.) It is now very evident that unless Portland wakes up to the advantages to be had In keeping- in touch with Southern Oregon and bidding for its trade, San Francisco, is going to reap the golden har vest which will soon be ready for some live city to pluck from Klamath basin. The people here are inclined to the be lief that Portland has not done her share toward an effort to get the busi ness from this country, but they all concede this as a tributary point to Port- iand rather than San Francisco. San Franc loco has done more for this part of Southern Oregon than Portland. Only re cently San Francisco business men sub scribed a large portion of the $100,00 bonus asked by the Weed Railway Com pany for the building of this road from the Southern Pacific line in Siskiyou County, California, to this city. At the same time, Portland refused to lend any financial aid to this project. Just as she has done in the past. This being the case, Klamath Falls business men are now and will continue to favor San Francisco as a wholesale center in preference to Portland, unless the Portland wholesalers show a willing hand In developing means of transporta tion into this country. The kindly feeling toward the Bay City is the only reason the business men of this section have for patronizing it. Freight charges are practically the same from both points at the present time, while with the completion of the McCloud. road to the lower end of the Klamath Lake will bring Portland several miles nearer Klamath Falls than San Francisco. The Portland dispatches of a few days ago to the effect that Harximan contem plated tapping the Klamath country from the Portland side, of course, created some little Interest here, and the people of this city would gladly welcome a line across the mountains from Oregon's me tropolla The business men hore say that. should Portland do something toward starting the agitation for a railroad Into this valley, the desired end could sooner or later be accomplished. Then Portland would get the biggest end of the business from the vast rich territory embraced In Klamath County. In regard to this matter, C. F. Blanch ard, statistician of the United States Re clamation Service, said: No one can visit this .valley without being Impressed with Its splendid future when the country la developed under & comprehensive ryatem. The flrst sreat need ot the valley Is. of course, a railroad, but I am firmly con vinced that this field Is altogether too rich for a railroad, to stay out of It very Ions. While the country should be tributary to Portland there Is reason to believe that un less Portland merchants and capitalists take up the matter at onoe. San Francisco Is so-, lag- to be the market fcr the farm products and livestock ot this basin. F. A. KILBURN ON THE ROCKS Steamer Runs on Jetty at Coos Bay nnd Is Damaged. EMPIRE CITY. Sept S. (Special.) The steamer F. A. Kllburn drifted on to the Jetty at the mouth of Coos Bay this morn ing between 3 and 4 o'clock and was badly i damaged. Just what caused the accident Is unknown, as the captain or crew will make no statement and most of the pas sengers were asleep at the time It hap pened. It la supposed, however, that owing to the smoke and fog the vessel drifted out ; of the channel in attempting to cross the bar and struck. The accident disabled the engines, dam aged the stern and tore away part ot the forward yard. A bad leak was also opened by the shock. The steamer was towed to the North Bend dock by the life-saving crew and the Columbia during the afternoon, and an examination w'll be made and the damage to the ship and cargo ascertained.

LEVEE AT THE PENITENTIARY Governor Gives Opportunity to Con victs to Present Grievances. SALEM. Or.. Sept . (Special.) Gov ernor Chamberlain -has adopted the prac tice of holding "court" at the State Prison once each month, for the purpose of hearing any grievances the prisoners may have or any petitions they may wish to make. If any prisoner thinks he has been unfairly treated by tho prison management he has an oppor tunity to make complaint to the Gov ernor without tho presence of prison offi cials. Once a week the Governor visits the Penitentiary, and pnee a month he holds a "levee" or court, when each prisoner who wishes may talk with him. The governor ordered, early in his ad ministration, that every letter addressed by a prisoner to him should be delivered Just as. written. His holding court is for the purpose of giving the prisoners an opportunity to voice grievances in pri vate that they might not wish to place In writing. When he makes his monthly visits he passes in front of all the cells, .and any prisoner wishing to speak to him makes his desire known. The Governor then takes a seat in the chapel, and the prisoners who have asked for a hearing are brought to him one at a time. If they have written letters which were not delivered, they have an opportunity to make that fact known. They are also given to understand that anything they say to the Governor shall not be the cause of greater severity toward them on -the part of the prison management. MRS.

The growth of a tumor ia so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. So-called "wandering pains" may come' from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made mani fest by profuse Menstruation, accom panied by unusual pain, from the ovaries down the groin nd thighs.

Bradford. Fa. WILL ACT DESCHUTES IRRIGATION C03I PAN3T WANTS LAND. Meeting Will Be Held to Determine Whether Patent Should Issue. Rules Will Bq Made. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 8. Special. A spe cial meeting of the State Land Board will be held next Monday for the purpose of considering the application of the Des chuUs Irrigation & Power Company for a patent to 77.000 acres of arid land which It has a contract to reclaim by Irrigation. The application Is In form of a request by the State of Oregon to the Secretary of the Interior for a patent In favor of the state, but the showing In support of the application Is made by tho irrigation com pany, which is the real party in Interest. The question to be decided at the meet ing Monday is whether the State Land Board shall give Its approval to the ap plication and forward it to Washington. It Is conjectured that a number of ques tions may arise incidentally and require solution before tho Board determines whether to Indorse the application. The first fact to be determined is whether tha reclamation company has provided a quantity of water sufficient to irrigate the 77.000 acres, thus effecting the reclamation of the land. No rules have yet been adopted governing the distribution of water, and it Is therefore unknown what amount of water will be required. It may be necessary, therefore, to adopt a rule upon this subject and then send the State Engineer to the Deschutes country to make measurements and ascertain wheth er the required quantity Is available after making allowance for seepage In the course of transmission through canals. The question of a sufficient water supply is one that the State Land Board will act upon with great care, for It Is of vital importance to the settler, whose crops will depend upon It. The Board may also consider at its meeting Monday the subject of other rules than those relating to the quantity of water to be supplied to settlers. A ques tion of as great Importance to the settler Is the time when the water shall be de livered, while other matters that will be settled in the rules to be adopted will be the time of payment of water rates, pen alties for non-payment and methods of enforcement. At the meeting of the Board on Monday the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com pany will be represented by Its general manager, J. D. Johnson, and the Beard will be advised by State Engineer J. H. Lewis.
