BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 5. The an

A large delegition of citizens and
taxpayers of this city and county ap
peared before the County Court this
afternoon and presented petitions
asking the court to build a bridge
across the North Umpn.ua River at
the site of the new retry between
Edenbower and Garden Valley. The
petitions were signed by nearly every
resident of Gnrden Valley. Coles Val
ley and the Lower Cnlanoola district,
as well "s by all the hanks nnd most
of the business men of thhXlity. It
is estimated that a first class wooden
bridge can be built lit the place
named for about $8000 to $10,000.
while a steel bridge can be erected
for about twice' ns much. With such
:a unanimous movement in Its favor,
and the comparatively small outlay
! involved, it seems very probable that
the court will grant the request of
the petitioners. Petitions for a
bridge over the main Umpqua at
Kclloggs will also be presented to the
court by residents of that section of
the county. The estimated cost of
that bridge Is $35,000.

Ut-VKAH-OLD BOY SHOT
WHILE HANDLING RIFLK.
Accident Occurs Near IloseburK,
When His Two Companions Throw
Cartridge In Breech.
Clyda Wallace, 13-year-old son of
A. S. Wallace, living one and one-half
miles west ot Roseburg, lies in Mercy
Hospital with a bullet wound through
his right breast, the result of an acci
dent while handling a 22-callbor rifle
at his home at 6 o'clock Wednesday
evening. Chances of his recovery
are about even.
The Injured boy, his older brother.
Ora, and a third lad named Kenneth
Loop were attempting to load the
rifle, which Is of old pattern and
does not operate easily. With the
stock of the weapon resting on the
floor and his bands holding the bur
rel, Clyde was in a stooping position
directly over the muzzle as the other
two boys were Inserting a cartridge
in the breech. This done, the lever
of the weapon was thrown into place
with such force as to bring down
the hammer and discharge the cart
ridge. The bullet struck Clyde squarely
on the right nipple, then struck the
breast bone and ploughed straight
through to a place of lodgment under
the shoulder blade. He was carried
to the home of his uncle, J. A, Wal
lace, In west Roseburg, and from
there he was taken to the hoBpltai.
where Doctors Seeley and Stewart re
moved the bullet and dressed the
wound..
The surgeons do not think the
wound will prove serious unless
blood poison sets in. A small quan
tity of clothing was carried into the
wound by the bullet. The boy Is re
ported to be resting easily today.
This is the second accident of this
nature to occur In the vicinity of
Rosebtirg within less than a month.
The victim of the first one was Homer
Kndlcott, the 8-year-old son of JoBeph
Endlcott, or North Roseburg. He
nas shot through the stomach with a
22-calibre pistol on December 9,
1910, and died three days afterwards.
It A UK GERM CAUSED MRS.
FULKEHSO.VS DEATH.
Scientific Explanation of Demise of
Three Relatives of Former
Roseburg Man.
The death of the mother and two
other relatives of A. P. (Jerry) Fulk
crsou, a former stenographer of Rose
burg, at North Yakima last Novem
ber, is explained by the following
dispatch from that city:
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., .Inn. 4.
The puzzle of the death of three
North Yakima people .drs. Frank
Ketthn, Mrs. Carrie Fulkerson and
L. D. S. Patton following a Thanks
giving dinner at which canned aspar
agus was served, has been solved by
an analysis of the contents of the jar
at Northwestern University by Dr.
Robert Zelt. Dr. Paul Cooper, one
of the attending physicians during
the illness of Mrs. Keuhn, took a
sample of the asparagus with him
on a trip East from which he has
just returned. The cause of death,
according to Dr. Zeit, was a germ
known as bacillus botullnl, which
grows in sealed vessels and only in
substances unexposed to the air. This
form of bacterial poisoning Is very
rare In this country, although a num
ber of cases have been reported In
Germany. There is but one known
cure, an anti-toxin, very expensive.
which is not manufactured in this
country. The anti-toxin has never
been tried on human beings, but has
I worked successfully with animals.
The poison is thought to cohie from
! particles of fertilizer Introduced into
the asparagus. .

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. o. mum
Clerk Harry Clark, who waB shot In
the mouth last night by two bandits,
who held un the North Coast Limited
shortly after she pulled out of Seattle.
Is resting comfortably at the hospital
today and It Is believed he will live.
He lost practically hair or bib teetn
when the bullet ploughed through
his face. Thirty detectives are scour
ing the lodging houseB for a trace of
the robbers. The chief of the rail
road detective force of the Northern
Pacific left St. Paul for Seattle today
to take charge ot the investigation.
As soon as the first robber got In
the mall car door he leveled his gun
ut Clark and ordered him to throw
up his hands, and then fired before
Clark could obey the command.
As soon as Clark fell the two rob
bers turned their attention to the
other clerk, C' E. Reld, and covered
him.
Both Clark and Reld were then
locked up In the clothes closet in the
end of the car and were not discov
ered until the train reached Auburn.
After Imprisoning the two clerks,
the bandits gathered together 20
packages of registered mall and
dropped oft as the train slowed tip

FIGHT TILL ONE IS DEAD.
OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 4. As
the result ot a most brutal fight at
their home In Clackamas Heights be
tween two aged brothers, Hiram
Deebe, 77, is dead and Nelson Deebe,
SO, Is tonight accupylng a cell in the
jail here charged with the murder.
The fight to the death occurred two
miles east of here, late this after
noon, where the brothers have been
keeping bachelor quarters.
So far as known tonight there were
no witnesses to the tragedy and the
details of the crime can only be gath
ered from the disconnected stories
told by Nelson Deebe, who, when ar
rested by Sheriff Maas, was In an
intoxicated condition, and was suffer
ing from a deep gash in the heud and
Beveral bruised places over the entire
body.
From information gleaned follow
ing the Investigation of the county
officials tonight it is said that Nelson,
who this morning received his war
pension ot $20 per month rrom the
Government, spent the greater part
or the day In an Oregon City saloon
and about five o'clock started tor
home. He had but placed his hand,
he says, on the knob ot the trout
door, when he was met by hiR brother
Hiram, with pie In hand. Then the
battle began, and aow long It raged
no one knows.
From one ot Nelson's stories Hiram
slashed him with the axe and in selt
derense he la said to have used a big
club. Both weapons were round In
the yard tonight.

HAVE I'OWEK EXTENDED.
In Annual ReKirt Many Suggestion!
An Made and Valuable sin
tist'oi Given to Public.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 4. During the
year jtist closed 90 more miles ot
railroad were placed In operation In
Oregon than were In operation a year
ago. The annual report ot the Rail
road Commission given out today,
shows the-e were on December 15,
1910. a total of 2491.09 miles or
railroad In operation in this state, an
Increase of 90.13 miles over the mile
age in operation on the same date a
year ago. inis new mileage came
out cf the Oregon Short Line, Pacific
Ruilway & Navigation Company and
the Sumpter Valley road, and does
not Include any mileage on the Des
chutes River Railroad, Oregon Trunk
or Natron brunch of the Southern
Pacific Company in Oregon, which
have not yet been placed in opera
tion. The report of the . Railroad
Commission, which has to do with
common carriers solely, doeB not in
clude a report ot the amount ot con
struction work done In Oregon for
the past year.
Miuiy Complaints Made.
There is nothing in the report on
which to base estimates of the am
ount of mileage that will be placed ill
operation In Oregon during 1911.
which will be inrge. Twenty com
mercial steam railroads, o. i switch
ing road and one terminal company
and seven logging roads contributed
to the mileage operated In Oregon in
1910. Tho report shows that on De
cember 19, 1909, 20 informal and 12
formal matters before the Commis
sion were brought on by complaint?.
During the year since that date, 103
Informal and 51 formal matters were
docketed for hearing.
Of the informal complaints 95 were
made by Individuals and 10 were
brought by the Connnls.-don on its
own motion. Numerous matters were
then taken on application ot carriers
for permission to make special rates
or refunds when injustice had been
done to shippers. Sixty complaints
were made respecting Inadequacy or
unreasonableness ot service; two vio
lations ot railroad laws were Investi
gated. 133 complaints were adjusted
informally, six were transferred to
the docket, 12 were not followed up,
two were beyond Jurisdiction of the
Commission and 10 related to inter
state regulations.
Physical Valuations lllg Tusk.
Of 63 formal complaints. 23 wore
for unreasonable or Inadequate ser
vice and 17 related to rates, 19 were
valuation Investigations and are still
pending. There are now pending 20
formal complaints. 35 were closed
during the yeur and 4 8 hearings have
been held. In nearly all the actions
before state courts the rullroad com
mission has been singularly well
backed up nnd the Railroad Commis
sion act sustained time after time,
both hy Circuit Judges und Supreme
justices. Some Important cases wore
heard. Physical valuation investiga
tions has been a big task and is not
yet completed, but the report shows
that much has been accomplished.
Several Important recommendations
are made by tho Commission toward
strengthening of weak points In the
Railroad Commission act and extend
ing powers of the Commission.
"It should be clear," reads tho re
port, "that It is the Intent of the
Commission act that the Railroad
Commission may act upon schedules
of rutcB ub a whole. A recent opinion
of the Supreme Court haB emphasized
the necessity of clear expression of
legislative Intent to delegate such
powers.
Needed Clearer I mlerstaliuing.
"Provision should be made that
orders of the Commission made atter
a hearing shnll be binding on a cor
noratlon and persona which after
ward acquiro property aneciea, ana
tor substitution of a successor In
complaints pending against a grant
or or lessor of a company. The re-
ent consolidation of a large number
of railroads In Oregon, constituent
companies of which had been parties
to orders duly entered by the com
mission, and severnl of which were
tiartles to complaints pending, lino
emphasized the necessity for legisla
tion along this litre.
Also as the result ot the consolida
tion under the Oregon and Washing
ton Railroad & Navigation Compnny
or the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company and Its holdings, the Com
mission believes the attention ot the
Legislative Assembly should be di
rected to the question ot the advisa
bility ot providing control of Issu
ance of stocks and bonds in the Inter
ests of the pubMc and Investors. It
is also recommended that the Legis
lature enact a law prohibiting con
struction of grado crossings, which
have been so dangerous to life und
property. .

GOLD AND COPPER OUTPUT8
OF UNITED STATES IN 1010.
According to reports received by
the United States Geological Survey
iroin coal-mine oMrators and others
fumlllar with the Industry, the pro
duction of coal In the United States
during 1910 was between 470,000.
000 and 483,000,000 short tons, a
considerable Increase from the output
of 459,( 16.704 short tons In 1909,
nnd approximately within 1 per cent
or the maximum previous record of
480,363.424 tons, produced In 1907.
Of the total production in 1910
the anthracite mines ot Pennsylvania
contributed nearly 83.000,000 short
tons and the bituminous mines be
tween 390,000,000 and 400,000,000
tons.
Washington Is the only one of the
Pacific Coast states in which coal
mining Is an industry ot any Import
ance. The total production ot Cull
fornfa, Alasku and Oregon In 1910
did not amount to more than 100,
0U0 short tons.
According to the statistics and es
timates received, the output of blister
und Lake copper was 1,079.000,000
pounds, as against J, 092. 951, 624
pounds In 1909.
Arizona again takes the lead
among the cupper producing status
with an output slightly above the
production of 1909, which was 291,
110.298 pounds.
The copper production of Montana
will probably not exceed 285,000,000
pounds for 1910, ns compared with
314,858,291 pounds for 1909. The
state will therefore rank second to
Arizona as a copper producer.
Michigan, ranking third as a cop
per pruuuclng state, made an output
or rennea copper or about 220,000,
000 pounds in 1909, as compared
with 227.005,923 pounds for 1909.
