LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27. lutorest today in the McNamara trial is cen tered at Indianapolis, where the fed eral grand jury Is expected to begin -investigation on the raid of the de tectives on the offices of the Inter national Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. This In vestigation . was forced by W, J. Burns, its real object being to de vise osme means of getting the alleg ed evidence garnered in the raid transferred to Los Angeles and in troduced in the trial against McNa mara here. If this alleged evidence is brought here the defense will put up a fight to prevent its admittance Into the present trial, contending that there is no connection between dyna mite and clocks "found" by Burns in Indianapolis and the Times explosion here. The defense secured a substantial concession from the state today when Attorney Fredericks agreed to examine talesmen alternately, so that each man interrogated for cause shall be disposed of before another is call ed. J. J. Rush, a farmer, was pass ed for cause by the defense today. Jury Probing Find. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 27.

GETS FILL PARDON. Convict Who Arrested Salem Man Given Entire Freedom. CONVICT LA HO 1 1 OX HOAI. Gang of Twenty-eight Go Monday to Crater Lake High way. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 26. Governor West completed plana today for ship ping the 28 convicts who will be sent from the state penitentiary for work on the Crater Lake road. Twen-ty-fivo of these will 'be pick-and-shovel workers, two will be cooks and one blacksmith. The gang will leave here Monday. The governor says the gang will be kept there Indefinitely and as fast as the terms of any of the men ex pire, otners will be sent to take their places, that the gang may re main intact. The camp of the convicts will be on the T. M. Peelor ranch at Flor ence Rock, 100 yards from the pres ent wagon road, in a grove well supplied with water. The road that SALEM, Or., Oct. 25, Governor West has restored to citizenship, Bert Heaton, the deputy game warden who caused the arrest of Curtis Cross, a well-known business man, because Cross had displayed In front of his store a deer that bad been shot by a friend. In this connection It has' been re called by old Salem people that Gov ernor West, when a boy, used to drive a butcher cart for K. C. Cross, father of Curtis Cross, and there has been considerable comment on the fact that one of West's convicts, out on a conditional pardon, should ar rest the son of a man who started West in life, because the son was accused of violating one of the game laws. Bert Heaton was the man, as her alded in a magazine, upon whom West founded his Idea of the honor system. He called Heaton from the pirson and sent him to Portland and other towns to learn the shoe busi ness and to establish facilities at the prison for making shoes. After Heat on had done as told, he was given a conditional pardon. Friends of the governor say that Heaton s only fault is that he was too solicitous to make good. On the other hand. West Is being widely criticised for allowing a convicted murdered to hold down a position of a peace of ficer where he would be allowed to carry arms if he so wished.

WHO WILL HELP IS? Some Excellent Suggestions Toward Itiilldlng I p a Town. may read them. For the good of the city and our homes may we be hon est and take a stand for truth and right. We all know if real prosper ity and happy homes are to be had we must get rid of everything that Is a hindrance. A sober, Industrious people, free from intemperance, al ways brings purity and prosperity. Idleness, intemperance and gambling people always lack thrift and lead In to dissipation and often ends In de gradation. Temperance puts wood on the fire, meal in the barrel, mon ey in the purse, credit in the coun try, contentment in the home, clothes on the back and vigor in the body. Roseburg Is on the up-grade and we need helpers In the good work. Who will dare stand back and knock, or In any way hinder the good work. Not one, we hope, of all our citizens but what may feel they have a part In the improvement, and bo ready to lend a helping hand and freely say, "Count on me". I,. II. RIIOADES. LOCAL XKWS.

SffS w'lll l' 1,1 Roseburg Friday ALLWEREKILLED When a city or any community becomes aware of certain conditions and places existing In its midst that are detrimental to Its real progress materially, morally or any other mod ern civilization, its citizens aro mov ed to action by way of improvement. Roseburg s better class or people have been awakened and evidently are determined to renovate and beau tify every part fn a way they will not be ashamed to show visiting strangers to every nook and corner. These good people do not wish to harm anything or bilng loss to any one. Their earnest desires and ef forts will be to erndlcnto evils of every description. Many things that aro now evil can and will be re formed and become a blessing Instead of a withering blight, as at present. How we are pleased to see a worth less good-for-nothing boy reform and make a man of himself. The time is not passed when worse than worthless men may be reformed and become a blessing to their homes and worthy respected citizens of a com munity that will be proud of them. Is It not a fact that some of the back alleys and vacant lots need cleaning up and work done that will make every one passing remark, , "How clean and nice the whole city. Rven the alleys and vacant hits"? Lot us all put forth our best efforts to that end. A clean city will be a healthful one and It will be sought by lovers of such conditions and they will soon fill up the vacant lots nnd become helpers In the good work. Are there stattles, cow and chicken yards rather near any of our homes to make the home healthful, sightly and pleasant? If so, may we get busy and plan to have nil these things in their proper place. If there are remnants of former saloons, or any real "near bner blind pigs or tigerB," they should bo diverted and changed Into places of some biiKfness that Is needed and will bo a bless ing Instead of a curse. The owner of such places and operators In many cities have reformed nnd changed their business, and in many mum their life and character have b n elevated so they are often the firht movers In renovation and uplift of their cities and home communities. It Is hoped there are none In Howe- ibtirg but what has real manhood, nnd i down In their hearts noble qualities that may be appealed to In such a i way that they will clone all places that degrade men and boys, a fid too often bring degradation and ruin to I their homes and loved ones. Wo only wish and hope bv writing these I llno to he ft help to snv nnd nil that and Saturday. Have your eyes examined and get glasses that will aid your vision. tf Alfred Thomas, of Mlnoinlnee.
