practically concedes that he has no
hope of securing a hearing In the
Tnlted States Supreme Court, and
fears that the writ of error will be
dismissed.
The last straw at which Ross and
his attorney may decide to grasp Is
Governor West and a pardon from
him when he takes his seat. Appear

serve a term in the state prison.
In handing down his derision Act

fact that Ross' case was now pending

added that it was not a matter for
his interference until such time as
the court had handed down a decision.
Many wealthy friends of the Mr.

POUT1.AXP. Jan. 9. (Special) -
The Hill system of railroads has ex
pended during the past four years in
Oregon and Washington no less than
$S0,000.rt(i0, according to compilations
just made, in extensions, betterments,
acquisitions of holdings and equip-
merit, exclusive of fixed charges and
operating expenses. The North Hank
Road alone cost nearly $53,000,000 and
$27,000,000 was spent on Hill proper
ties in this state, over half during the
past year.
Construction work mapped out for
properties In Oregon in 1911 Involves
the expenditure of $15,000,000. Coupled
with the big expenditures the llarri-
man system is making In building new
lines and extensions and the effort
both big railroads are putting into ex
ploitation work to advertise the state.
Oregon has a great asset in its rail
roads.

THE MAN WITH THE MAJORITY
OF THE SENATORIAL DIST
RICTS IS DEFEATED.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Jan. 10 (Spl)
California was confronted with two
candidates for Senator, one of whom
had received the majority vote by
Senatorial districts and one who had
received the majority vote by total.
When the joint election was held to
diy the man with the majority of
rotes as a whole Judge John D.
Works, of Los Angeles was chosen
United States Senator. A. G. Spald
ing, the millionaire manufacturer of
sporting goods, was the man who was
defeated and he had secured the ma
jority of senatorial districts in the pri
mary election.
Works received 92 votes out of a
possible total of 120. The Democrats
in both house and senate voted for
him. In speaking of the result he
said it was a triumph for right prin
ciples over boss rule, and the elimina
tion of the interests.
Albanv took considerable pride in
the opening of its new armory, which
was marked by the attendance of lead
ing military men of the state. The
armory is a handsome building and
will be the home of Company G.
Fourth Regiment, O. N. G.
. Portland commercial bodies are urg
ing the building of a road through the
forest reserve surrounding Mt. Hood.
The Oregon delegation in Congress
will be asked to use their influence
to secure an appropriation of $150.0on
for the purpose. The building of this
road is planned to take the place of
the national park originally sought foi

Capt. J. T. Apperson, of this
Tuesday received a telegram
Congressman W. C. Hawley,
Washington, D. C. telling the
news to the old soldiers of the Grand
Army of the passing in the Lower
House of Congress Monday of the bill
granting an increase in pensions to
the old fighters who still survive.
By the terms of the bill the old sol
diers who have arrived at the age of
62 years will receive $15 a month pen
sion, age C5 years, $20; age "0 years.
$25; age 75 years or over, $:!G. The
bill has passed the House and ha3
good prospect of receiving the sanc
tion of the Senate.
The advanced age of the old soldiers
and the rapid decimation of their
ranks 3000 deaths In a month, more
than three regiments means that the
pension roll Is certain to decrease
yearly, despite the slightly increasing
rate per month. Few people will quar
rel with Congress for this increase In
the bounty to the old soldiers of the
Nation who came to Its rescue in Its
time of need.
