Shaniko Is Great
Shipping Point
A tlivpatch from Hhaniko to the
Journal aay: "At a distributing
jKiinl (or central Orrson, Hhaniko
i doing a record Wealing l.UMine.e.
From Heptemtt r 1 to iHcember 1
there waa received nt the depot here
.'U? carload of general narchan
diio for central Oregon, a grand
total of H,C17,0H pound of freiglpt.
Thin frerlit wan all teamed to
interior point, onm as far south
at Silver I.ko, wiles from
Hhaniko. Indications are that
Prineville, MadrM, Bend, l.amonta,
Mitchell, Dayville and a dozen
amallei town are doing a record
breaking busiiieaa judging from the.
unusually large contdgniucnU for
these places. Owing to the impana
able, conditions of the road
throughout the south, which has
Made teaming practically impos
aihlo thin month, the warehouses
are congested with freight. The
niain freight hou."e, which is COO
feet in length by TO feet in width
practically blocked. Merchants in
the interior are offering fancy
prices for delivery of thir waree.
As to a Kiock shipping point
Shaniko can well be proud of her
record. She shipped, from August
1 to Ieceuilier 1, 420 cars of live
stock, mostly cattle and sheep,
September and October being the
banner months wilh 121 and 182
cars respectively,
A great portion of the cattle
went to Portland markets while
abeep were shipped to Montana,
Idaho, Colorado, I'tah and Wyom
ing grazing grounds before being
placed on Chicago and Omaha mar
kets. As h wool market Shaniko is sur
passed by none in the West. Last
reason approximately 4,000,000
pounds w marketed at prices
ranging mm 14 to i-ij cents per
pound.' As in several years past
Shaniko had the, distinction of re
ceiving the highest prices paid in
the West.
Shaniko was tho only point in
Oregon, lust season, where the
sealed bid wool sales were held.
This is accounted for by the fact
that throughout eastern Oregon
and Idaho extensive contracting
was carried on. Practically all
wool except that consumed by
mills in Oregon is baled and ship
ped to Huston, le juiring 07 cars to
move last aeasou'a output from!
Shaniko alone.
ISoth Porter Prothers, Hill con
tractors and Twohy brothers, with
the Harriman road, have made
contracts with many local team
sters for a year' work transporting
supplies to the Deschutes river.
Teaming to river points is a strenu
ous task owing to the difficulty in
constructing a safe wagon rood
from the top of the hill to the
river. In come places the distance
is about four miles of very steep
grade.
Shaniko has, it is claimed, more
than doubled in population within
tho past six months. Thirty-eight
buildings have been completed
with possibly a dozin more under .
construction. Throughout the
residence portion many families are
living in tents. The Eastern Oregon
Hanking company, the only bank
ing house in the southern portion
of Wasco county, has deposits of
more than $120,000 more than at a
corresponding time last year.
Booze Traffic in
Deschutes Canyon
At a lonely ppot near the Des
chutes Canyon, on the road from
The Dalles toj I ill's new ferry, a
cave has been hollowed out of the
side of a hill. A door, covered with
cement and earth, conceals this
cavo from the closest scrutiny. Yet
if one knocks at a curtain place, the
door swings open and reveals a
stock of liquors and a price card.
No one is in sight, and the person
who enters may leave the required
amount of money and carry away
as much of the liquor as he wants.
This is what is known as a "gal
lon hill," or rural blind pig, and is
one of the means used for unlaw
fully grasping the opportunity
offered by thousands of workmen
engaged in labor in a lonely canyon
where there are no opportunities
for recreation or the spending of
hard earned money. The liquor ob
tained at a "gallon bill" is said to
be something like a concoction of
sheep dip and alcohol.
The contractors for both railroad
companies are using their efforts to
keep "booze" off the work, but in
instances they are not wholly able
t accomplish their purpose. Sher
ar'rf Bridge has become a sort of
rendezvous for bootleggers. Boot
leggers, in vehicles similar to those
used by traveling quacks, have
driven along the work. The bottles
are arranged in a compartment in
the rear of the vehicle and the pur
chaser helps himself after deposit
ing his money in a convenient slot
The Deschutes River 'divides
Sherman from Wasco County
.Much o! the Harriman work is in
Sherman County and the balance
in Crook County. Poth counties
are "dry." Wasco County still
permits the saloon, however, and
on that side of the river eemi-legiti
mate "gallon houses" have been
established, where the proprietors
have Government licenses, permit
ting them to tell liquor in quanti
ties of not less than ono gallon
which must not be drunk on the
premises. It is told, however, that
a request for "near beei" produces
a drink of the genuine article, and
that a call for "California grape
juice" will bring out something in
small quantities that tastes
whole lot like brandy.
sales in gallon quantities are
not very profitable to the gallon
houses, as it requires five ordinary
quart whiskey bottles to make
gallon and the price is fo.
workman who will stand at a bar
and buy drinks aggregating $5 or
more in tne course ol the evening
will not, as a rule, purchaso $5
worth of whiskey at one throw
and carry it away with him.

Maddux and Wife
Refuse to Testify
"Mrs. Hazel Maddux, acquitted r n
a charge of manslaughter in con
nect'mn with the death of Mrs. C lara
May lira I, and Patrolman Clifford
W. Maddux, her hut-band, were de
clared in contempt by Presiding
Judg'i i'ronsugb in the circuit
court fr th-ir refusal to answer
questions before the grand jury
lat-t Wednesday;" says the Journal.
"The court fined each one f 25 and
ordered them to jail if they still
refused to testify. They agreed o
answer all questions, and were
taken In-fore the jury.
The judge said that Mrs. Maddux
was a witnecs before the grand jury,
the same as any other witness and
that she could not claim an exernp-
ion on the ground of incriminat
ng herself because she bad been ac
quitted by a trial jury.
"The decision of the court came
after a hearing that lasted all
morning. Foreman W. J. McConv
tier and F. E. McC'urdy of the
erand iurv told of the war that
iody bad been defied by Mrs. Mad
dux and her husband, after they
had been informedtbat the investi
gation concerned the charge sgainsl
Frank E. Hodman, and was in no
way connected with the case of
Mrs. Maddux, who has already
een acquitted.
"Mrs. Maddux and Rodman were
jointly charged with the respons-i
ility for the death of Mrs Real
when she was run over by a party
of joy riders on the Linton ,road
After Mrs. Maddux was freed by i
iury the joint indictment was
quashed by Judge I'ronaugh as de
fectiveand the case of Rodman or
dered re submitted to the grand
jury. Mrs. Maddux and herpolice-
uian' husband were then informed
by their attorneys that they need
not testify before the grand jury re
garding Rodman, on the ground
that she has already baen acquit
ted.
"Mr. Maddux also refused' to
answer after he had told us his
name and stated that be was
police officer," continued McCurdy
"Finally I said to him myself,

which an officer of the law should
proceed to bring criminals

refused to answer."
Foreman McComber also testified
tthe same effect as to the refusal
of the defendants to answer
Deputy County Clerk Henry Bush
was called to the stand to prove the
court records as to previous pro
ceedings in the case against
Maddux and Rodman, and tli
state rested, the examination
was conducted by Deputy District
Attorney Fitzgerald, assisted b
Deputies J. II. Page and T. W
Vreeland, while Jeffrey and Cald
well appeared for the defendants
From Foreman McComber th
defense brought out the fact that
Miss Ethel Noss and Mrs. R.
Keeker, who were chief witnesses
for the state against Mrs. Maddux
and Rodman, had been examined
by the grand jury before Mrs. Mad
dux and her husband were called
into the jury room. Jeffrey
attempted to bring out what the
other witnesses bad testiSed to, but
Judge Brenaugh ruled that this
was not proper. ,
Jeffrey thereupon offered to
prove bv the grand jury foreman
that the testimony of Miss Noss
and Mrs. Becker involved charges
against Mrs. Maddux, and that as
she had been acquitted, such testi
mony was improper for the grand
jury to receive. Judge Bronaugh
said that the defendants could not
lawfully know what Miss Noss and
Mrs. Backer said before the grand
jury, and ruled out any further in
quiry on that line. Jeffrey wanted
to call Grand Juror McCurdy for
the same purpose, but the. court
waved him aside.
After Maddux had testified that
he refused to answer because his
wife was a co-defendant with Rod
man, and he did not have her per
mission to tell what he 'knew,
Deputy District Attorney Fitz
gerald caused a laugh by asking if
he always had to secure his wife's
permission before he gave testi
mony, lie waa not required to
answer this. ;
All the members of the grand
jury were present while the hear
ing was in progress. Mrs. Mad
dux and her husband sat beside
their attorneys and gave little sign
of being greatly disturbed by their
predicament. -
