For their services the Judge and the attorneys sent a bill to Gov ernor Hay for $1800. This Oovernor Hay refused to pay. alleging it waa exces sive. However, Oovernor Hay offered the court and attorneys $300. but this was not accepted. That to compel the state to pav $1800 for every criminal brought back from Canada la exorbitant, and will have a tendency to make that country a ren dezvous for criminals. Is the opinion of 'Sheriff Sapptng-ton. "The prosecuting; atorneya in the United States fight the British extradition cases for nothing, and the judges nevr collect es," said the Sheriff. "Oovernor Hay promised me to fight this case through. I cannot see how the Vancouver judge and attorney can expect to refuse to give up Stewart to roe because alleged feea charged for some other prisoner were not paid, and a uh la which X bad nothing to do. The Judge In Vancouver has a life po sition, and la aecure. so 1 do not see why he should be paid a fee for such Work." Papers Sent to Washington. .

LOGGING CAMPS CLOSING Effect of Curtailment of Output of Lnmbor Is lrop From $10 to $7.50 a Thousand for Oregon Fir Logs. ASTORIA. Or, Nov. 11. (Special.) The Pacific Logging Company which operates in the Deep River district has closed down Camp No. 1, the largest of the four which It ran during the Sum mer, and practically all the TO men em ployed there came to this city last evening. It la expected the camp will remain closed until after the Christ mas holidays. A few weeks ago the company shut down two of Its camps, so that the only one It has In operation at the present time Is the camp on Salmon Creek where about 0 men are employed. So far as reported none of the other large camps In this vicinity are contemplat. (Tie ahuttlnir down In the Immediate fu ture, but It is probable 'that some of them at least will close for the holi days earlier than baa been their cus tom In former years. As a result of the larger mills hav ing curtailed their output by runlng only seven and a half hours a day. toe demand for logs haa dropped off and the prices offered, excepting for the very highest grades, are lower. Kor several months the minimum prices for fir logs has been $10. but it ta aald that a couple oi days ago one man who had about $.000,000 feet w nnabla to get an offer of more than $7.50 a thousand. REVOLVER BEST CLEW CAPTUBK OF SALEM MCRDERER MAY DEPEND OS IT. Six Sons of Bridge Victim Aid Sher iff and Police Chief In Trac ing Criminals. SALEM. Nov. 11. (Special.) With the close of the eighth (ley since the murder of aged J. E. Roberts here on tho Re form School bridge, after sifting chaff from the clews it appears that the re volver left behind by the murderers 's the best trace and it, if anything, will eventually lead to the capture of the criminal However, five other clews have not been discarded, but merely laid aside pending the result of attempts to aseertiln where the revolver was first shipped and how. through devious ways, ll finally reached Salem and dealt death. That tUe revolver might be traced to the youths who. the day before the mur der, tried to buy a pistol of that caliber. Is believed by the Investigators, but In this connection 8heriff Mlnto and Chief of Police Gibson encounter a setlous set back. No one. not even the hardware cletk who waited upon tho youths, can Identify them, and a resident of Salem, who witnessed the hardware store incl-d-'nt. Is not able to describe thm. save to (ay that neither was more than IS years old. As yet no defl lite answer has been re ceived by Sheriff Mlnto to the circulars he sent broadcast in an endeavor to find where the revolver was purchased, and a San Francisco firm that handles that type of weapon for the whole Coast seems to be unable to throw any light vn the mystery that surrounds ths weapon. That Jeffemon, evidently the destina tion of Roberts the night of his death, ought to supply a direct clew Is deduct ed by the Investigators, but thorough combing of the ton seems to have been futile. That a decoy letter lured the old man to his violent death Is deemed cer tain by ths cjty and county authorities, but the victim's habit of destroying all letters received puts the investigators at sea In an attempt to fathom who aent the letter and bow. when and where it was transmitted. Sheriff Minto and Chief of Police Gib son are not only working assiduously on the case, but they are assisted daily by ths six sons of the aged murder victim, who are giving every bit of evidence which they believe may have any bear ing on the case. That utmost seereer Is kept by ths In vestigators la their probe Is significant. In Salem or vicinity are suspected of having committed the crime.

During the year ended June 80, 1910, the total Income of the Great Northern Rail way on all of Its lines was t64.G0O.O0O, while in Washington its income was 19, W2.882.6S, according to the report filed with the Washington Railroad Commis sion. The operating expenses of the entire ine of the Great Northern during that period wero 3S, 818,09, while In Washing ton the operating expenses were $7,003,- 000.46, showing that the relation of oper- atlng expenses to the income in Washing' ton was 73.38 per cent, while for the en tire line It was only 60.53 per cent. The dlfferenoe between state and Inter state ercentage Is easily explained when the Wellington disaster. In which two Great Northern trains were completely wrecked and about 100 lives were lost, is taken into consideration. Earnings in Washington show an Increase of about $2,000,000 for the Great Northern over the year preceding, that is in the State of Washington. The Northern Pacific, on the other hand. Jumped only about $1,000,- 000, but the Great Northern this year Included In Its report the Income of all of Its subsidiary companies. It is shown in the report of the North ern Pacific Railroad, covering the same period of the Great Northern, that the earnings In Washington were $22,263, 49ti.&4, while the operating expenses were S14.21&.742.08, the ratio being 63.89 per cent. On the entire line the- Income was $74, r25,O01. ' the operating expenses $45,987,000 and the ratio 61.71 per cent. The report Ehows that the Northern Pacific depre elation Included the operating equipment. which, omitted; would reduce the ratio of the earnings to about GO per cent. Interstate Business Large. The report of the Great Northern shows that that company hauled 1,724.812 per sons from one point in the state to an other point in the state, the average dis tance being 49 miles, while It carried 310,. 760 persons from some point In Washing ton to some point without or from some point without Washington to some point within Washington during the year, and the average haul on interstate business was 165 miles. The strictly state business hauled by the Great Northern amounted to 1,329,- 327 tons, hauled an average of 107 miles, while the Interstate business exceeded the state business, the report showing that 1.634.311 tons were hauled an aver age distance of 243 miles. It ts the Northern Pacific Railroad that handles most of the travelling publlo in the State of Washington, as the re port shows that during the last year ths Northern Pacific Railroad hauled 3,279.- 051 persons, an average distance of 44 miles each In the State of Washington, while it handled 1.025,201 Interstate pas sengers and carried each of them an av erse of 187 miles The freight moved on state business is 5.960.128 tons, car ried an average distance af 70 miles, while the interstate business amounting to $,142,686 tons moved an average dis tance of 255 miles. .Road Operates at Lo?s. One of the roads in Washington that Is not making much money is the Spo kane. British Columbia Koaa. running from Republic, lu Ferry County, to Dan ville, on the Canadian (line, its total trackage being 36.30 miles. During the past year its income was $14,499.38. while Its operating expenses run up to $43, 676.96. In addition to which It also pad $2,555.86 in taxes.

The report ehows that the com pany receives only an average of 2.435 cents per mile for hauling passengers or it collected only 46 cents from each per son hauled over its lines during that time.
