Canby, Ore., April 28 Special to
Courier The citizens of this village are
greatly excited over a case of criminal

at an early hour. An unknown man
entered the home of Mrs. Tillie Wills,
the daughterof ex-county c immissioner,

criminally assaulted her and then made
bin escape.
The man who it is supposed com
mitted the crime came in from Mc

at Cmby for Aloany but did not board
the train. Instead he walked to Bar
low, a mile south of Canby and is sup
posed to haw boarded the train as that
point. The women gave the alarm and
about an hour liter a posse started in
pursuit. Djtcriptions of the u.an have
been tulegraphed to all points south but
up to the present time he has not been
apprehended.
SUIT OVER CHILD.
Canemah Park Pavilion Burned.
On Wednesday evening at about 10
o'clock, a fire broke out in the pavilion
of the Canemah Park. The man who
first arrhed on the scene, before ihe
tire had attained headway, Btated that
it began in the shanty built against the
front or north end of the building. Ht
ry Jowa, the contractor, had almost
completed a 40-foot extension on the
rear end of the pavilion, being entirely
finished excepting the putting on of the
ridge boardB, and the extension had
practically been turned over to the mo
tor line company on Wednesday. The
old part had also been reshingled. The
fire is supposed to be of incendiary ori
gin. The carpenters employed lost their
tools, loss a tu lit if L uu.

It is generally supposed that the
sole purpose of this road is to tap
the Bouthern part of this county.
But it is not. The road is really
being built by a powerful corpo
ration which controls millions of
dollars, and instead of stopping at
Springwater or anywhere else in
that part of the county, it will
cross the Cascade mountains and
have ita eastern terminal at Great

THE OLD RELIABLE
EXTEMES MEET
In the Kimball Pianos.
Combining highest quality with the
lowest price Kimball pianos answer
alike the most exacting, artistic as well
as practical demands. Their prominent
characteristics are brilliancy and sweet
nesB of tone, enduranc and substantial
construction, responsive action, exceed
ing harmony of proportion and in
dividuality and elegance of ca se finieb.
In popularity they excel every other
American made piano and though in
point of age much younger than the
greatest piano prod ucts of New York and
Boston, the Weber of the former and
the Chickering of the latter city, the
reputation the Kimball enjoys among
the world's most celebrated musicians
is fully equal to theirs.
This great trio constitute our leaders,
and like all our other pianos and organs
are sold bv us in all Btyles at lower
prices than can be obtained any where
else.
You may regard this ai a mere state
ment. All we axk is that you investi
gate and satisfy yourself.

and through the Union Depot of Port
land. Work at the rock quarry in
Buena Vieta will be completed by the
first of May. A large force of men is en
gaged in the work.
Mis. O. A. Cheney left for La Favette
Monday, where she will visit her daugh
ter, Mrs. Will's Johnson.
The above facts have come to the
Courier from a scource that is positively
authentic. Many '.people living along
the line of the new road which is pre
sumably being built by the O. W. P &
Railway company have long claimed
that the company was doing mote ex-
Denaive work than was justified by a
little jeik-water road whose sole in
tention it is claimea is to tap the farm
ing and timber conntry along the (Jlack
amas river. The aoove information
have been given to the Courier by a
irentleman who stands high in Railroad
circles and who is undoubtedly in full
ooeaession of the facts. A road is be
ing built from Great Salt Lake westward
bv the 0. B. & 0.. and that the road
being built from Portland is a part and
Darcel of the same there is no doubt.
There is an easy grade over the
mountains beyond Springwater, it is
claimed, and this route has already been
surveyed by engineers for the C. B. & Q.
This new line win cross tne mountains
at this oass and proceed in almost a
dtiect line to Great Salt Lake. It will
oass through coun'ries in Oregon that
Dive hitherto never been tapped by a
railroad, and it will control the traffic of
a reat wheat growing country. It will
pass' through Crook county and ill very
likely pass through Prineville, the
county seat of that country It will also
pass through Harney county and Burns,
the county seat of that county, will be
o the line. When it is taken into con
sideration that Burns is sev'nty five
miles from the nearest railroad, It is
asey to see what great opportunities the
the new road will have 'o secure a
wonderful patronage from that sec
tion. The part of Eastern Oregon, through
which this road is to run is a great grain
country. It is also a great grazing
country. Much of it is under cultivation
while quite a little of it only needs ater
to make it one of the richest sections
of the state. Its inaccessibility to the
railroad has been its great drawback.
They are many free homesteads still in
that section and that they will be taken
up very rapidly as soon as it is generally
known that a railroad is to penetrate the
level prairies there is little doubt.
That a tremendous amount of money
will be expended in building the new
road goes without saying. The part that
bas already been bunt trom Portland
through Oresham and up the . lackamas
bears out the statements made by the
party who gave the Courier information
concerning the road. This road has
been graded in a manner that indicates
tbat much traffic is expected. It has
been ballasted as well as the best roads
in the country. Everything points tothe
fact that the road is to be more than a
local one. Thousands of dollars are ex
pended in cutting down grade that an
ordinary electric line would pass over.
Trestles are being filled in at enormous
cost
Whether the road is to be au electric
road or steam road remains to be seen,
but it is probable that the end west of the
mountains will be run by motor power
while that east of the mountains will be
run by steam. This Beems to be the
most probable solution. From Portland
to Great Salt Lake is a distance of near
ly a thousand miles, and it hardly seems
probable that any railroad company
would build an electric line of that
length.
Just why the railroad company is
keeping its plans secret is not easily ex
plained but corporations are notin the
habit of going around and blowing about
their plans.
