-NOTICE TO THE
PEOPLE Of
ESTIMATES Of
HARVEY BROWN
I TSie contract has been I

Portland, Ore., Oct. 3. "Very
probably In his capacity of de
tective, Harvey Brown discov
ered evidence which caused some one
to dynamite him," said ex-Representative
William Grace, of Baker City,
today. "Baker City Is now the only
place In Oregon where gambling Is
running. It Is tho only wldo-open
town In the state, and Is the rendez
vous of tho criminal element, at
tracted there by the absence of a lid.
To this element the people who made
the attack on Brown's life will nat
urally look for and receive protec
tion. "Mr. Brown served two terms as
sheriff, and succeeded In supreslsng
gambling and closing saloons on Sun
day. Ho was In favor of a closed
town, and in his capacity as sheriff
enforced the laws to dlear Baker
City of the" undesirable.
"I know ex-Sheriff Brown well,"
said Rev. Everett Merrill Hill, ex
pastor of Taylor-Street Methodist
Episcopal church, who was yesterday
transferred to Spokane. "He was a

San Francisco, Oct. 3. Notwith
standing tho Ford defense today sub
poenaed Abraham Ituef as a witness,
when the time came for Introduction
of evidence in behalf of General
Ford, attorneys for the defense re
fused to offer any testimony, thus
blocking any Intent the prosecution

argument without having adduced a
particle of direct evidence connect
ing tho accused with commission of
tho crimo charged and the defense
without having offered a sworn word
in its own behalf. Assistant District

tiiMiator Fulton Recommends Albany
Man for Office.
Baker City, Or., Oct. 3. Senator
Fulton today wired tho department
at Washington recommending tho
uppolntmont of G. A. Westgate of
Albany, to tho office of surveyor gou
oral for tho state of Oregon. Tho
majority of tho delegation from this
Btato have expressed to tho depart
ment at Washington tho preferences
for Westgate, and It Is probable that
ho will bo nppolntod nt onco. Con
gressman Ellis favored T. N. Hul
"fcurt of Portland.
ARGUM
ALBANY WfLL GROW
BY EXTENDING LIMITS
Proposition to Conic Before People
nt Next Election Tried
Uefoie.
Albany, Or., Oct. 2. Albany's city
limits may bo greatly enlarged by
popular vote In the coming city elec
tion. According to plans now being
made It is proposed to annex to the
city a large portion of Bryant's park,
lying on a long peninsula between
the Calapoola and Willamette rivers,
all of Wright's Addition and largo
tracts of land lying south and
southeast of the city which belong to
tho Southern Pacific and Corvallls
& Eastern Railroad companies and
to the Astoria company. It Is also
planned to change the limits so as to
exclude a tract of land lying in Ben
ton county on the north side of the
Willamette. The city acquired juris
diction over a small tract at the end
of the steel bridge a few years ago
so as to have police power there, but
tho extension of the limits has al
ways caused more troublo than
benefit. '
The proposed change in city boun
daries seems to meet with general
favor. Thero may be opposition
fiom tho railroad interests, however,
for though there are many residences
south of these large tracts of vacant,
unimproved land the limits have
never been extended to Include them,
for the reason, it is intimated, that
the corporations owning them did
not wish to pay city taxes on the
property. Attempts have been
made In past years to include these
tracts of land In tho city limits, Jmt
they have always failed. Now that
the initiative law is in force here
the change may be realized.
CREW IS RESCUED.
French Ship on Rocks, 230 Yards'
From Mainland. . (
Kllreushireland, Oct. 3. Not un
til lato this afternoon did the coast
guardsman succeed in rescuing tho
crew of tho French ship Leon XIII,
which wont on tho rocks near Scho
fleld yesterday. Although tho ship
was only about 250 yards from the
mainland, a rocky barrier prevented
tho life boats from coming to her.
Tho Leon XIII arrived at Queons
town Sept. 2G, from Portland,
Oregon and thence sailed northward.
CYCLONE WRECKS TOWN.
Oklahoma Twister Scatters Houses
Hut No Injuries Reported.
Oklahoma City, Oct. 3. A mess
ago from Elk City, says a cyclone
struck tho small vlllago of Foarch
near Elk City last night. Nearly
every house In town is reported
wrecked. None are reported In
jured. Dotnlls cannot bo obtained
as tho wires nro down.
The Little Blue Book.
Minneapolis, Oct. 3. Tho federal
grand Jury today resumed Investiga
tion of' tho "Little Blue Book" which
catalogues houses dealing in lumber
nnd manufactured articles. It is
alleged it has been used by lumber
trust in effect to run a mail order
business. It Is now known thero
was a secret meeting of tho lumber
dealers In Minneapolis last wlntor
and later a similar meeting of about
CO lumbermen In Chicago. Tho
book was published hero aftor tho
Chicago mooting.
Lectures At Hospital.
Drs. Ingram and Gale opened a
courBo of loctures last evening at
tho Mercy Hospital. Theso lectures
will bo continued for some time, on
Tdesdfry and Thursday tfrCnlnss;
man rill through. A rough and ready
fellow, he was equal to any emer-
mcy. He had powerful convictions.
I tried to get him to unite with the
church when I was pastor of the
First M. E. church In Baker City two
years ago, but he said: 'No, I'm in
this closed town to fight now and It
would not do.'
"Mr. Brown was a real Roosevelt
Republican. He admired the presi
dent very much and I believe his at
titude In the Sunday closing of sa
loons and tho supresslon of gambl-
ine was due to a feeling that he
would be following the Roosevelt ex
ample In enforcing the law.
"Here is a story that will show
tho snlrit of the man. After he had
closed gambling a bunch of promi
nent citizens were caught by Brown
gambling.
" 'Why, you wouldn't arrest me,
would you?' said one of tho most In
fluential of these men.
" 'Arrest you? I'd arrest you If
you wore Governor Chamberlain,' he
said.
"Ho had the real frontiersman's
spirit. He roved aiound a good deal
before settling down and marrying,
and had seen some rough exper
iences. Yet he was not a rough man
himself. He was quiet and quietly
spoken.
"The whole Republican machine
got on his back when he undertook
to close the town. It left him and
Prosecuting Attorney Harry Lomax
absolutely alone. The machine lead
ers told him ho would ruin the
party's chances, but he told them ho
didn't believe It and that It wouldn't
make any difference.
"When he ran for the gubernato
rial nomination In the primaries, It
will show how the people stood back
of him when I say he got the big ma
jority of votes at home, even with
another home candidate.
"Ex-Sheriff Brown's father and
mother raised him near Baker City.
THey were devout Methodists and
named their eldest son for a pioneer
Methodist circuit rider, Harvey IC.
Hines. the father died several years
ago, the mother Is still living on the
farm, seen miles from Baker City,
easterly. 'Harve' Brown, as every
one called him, was raised In the
church. He was a trustee of the
First M. E. church, though not a
member, and his wife and child be
long to it.
"Tho ex-sheriff did not return to
tho farm after leaving the sheriff's
office, but remained at his home In
Baker City, looking after his placer
mining Interests in Stlce's gulch, be
tween Baker City and Sumpter ,and
elsewhere.
"He was In Portland a week ago,
stopping off on his way to tho stato
fair. Ho came down alone.
Will Seek Health in Arizona.
Mr. John Jenkins of Prosper is In
Marshfield bound for Arizona where
ho goes with his son Will, who ac
companies him. The trip is made
with tho hope that the Arizona cli
mate will have a beneficial effect on
the son's health.

WILL DISCUSS MATTERS
OF MUCH INTEREST
Chamber of Commerce Meeting To
night Will He Worth At
tending. John B. Goddard of Portland will
deliver an address on "Marshfield
Compared with Other Northwestern
Cities," at the Chamber of Com
merce tonight. Frank Fay Eddy of
Salt Lake, in an address will com
pare "Life on a Farm In Oregon with
Life in Salt Lake City." J. A. Mc
Donald, who arrived from Belllng
ham this week with 12 laborers, will
discuss the "Labor Problem, or How
fo Secure Laborers on tho Bay."
Tho meeting will be called earlier
tonight than last Friday night as the
time has arrived when dark comes
earlier than during tho summer
months. The meeting hour has been
set for 7:30. Tho doors aro open
for everybody, new-comers and old
residents alike, and ladies as well as
men, at all times.
The meetings will not bo pro
longed, and to get tho benefit of tho
addresses, everybody should bo on
hand promptly.
Tho number of families In quest
of houses, registering at the Cham
ber of Commerce, aro on the increase.
In response to the agitation by the
chamber of tho question of building
houses, two men havo proffered to
erect eight buildings. But this Is
only a more start In tho direction of
meeting tho demand. With one hun
dred new houses erected, It would
be but a short time until still others
would be needed. A man connected
with the C. A. Smith Lumber Co.
stated yesterday that tho rate of
accessions to the town may bo ex
pected to continue for ten years any
way. Marshfield cannot longer bo
measured by her former pace of
growth. The need for more living
quarters Is now urgent and will
grow more so. Tho opportunity for
remunerative investment in tho
bulldiug and leasing or selling of'
residences Is apparent and It Is some
thing of a mystery that a greater
building crusado Is not started.
MAILS ARE NOW ON
WINTER SCHEDULE
The wlntor schedule for malls to

ber first. The mall now leaves
Marshfield for ftoseinirg at 7:30

an Improvement over tho summer
schedule, as It allows a large part of
the mall which used to go out In the
morning to leave 12 hours earlier.
The return service Is about tho same,
and tor the present tho contractor
Is getting it tluough in good time
and in fair shape. But the old famil
iar sign, "Mall has not arrived," will
soon bo with us, and we shall feel
that winter has caught us again.
