ber of the commission, la making a
strong fight In the Interest of Oregon

dsnger that the 8tate Highway Cora

city.
Judge Dlmlrk, who met with the
other commissioners In Portland the
first part of the week, said Friday
that there was a disposition to adopt
the proposed West Side route. This
mesne that the highway would be ten
milea west of this city, and would
cross tbe river near New berg. The
residents of that section have made
a strong fight for tbe road and have
offered financial assistance.
Cltlxena Should Organlie.
Judge Dlmlck aald that the only re
course of the residents of this city,
Hubbard, Aurora, Canby, Barlow and
New Era would be to organise and
make a determined fight for tha high
way. 'Substantial subscriptions to be
uaed toward building- the road on the
East Side mignt cause the commission
to change Its plans. f
Two routes through Oregon City
have been proposed. One la through
Main Btreet to the 8outh End Road
and the other Is along Seventh at reel
and out the Fifth atreet road. It la
urged that both be Included In, the

It Is the .Intention of the' commis
sion to mske the boulevard the best
road In the atate. Governor West has
promised the uae of 150 convicts to
work on the thoroughfare.
Residents Urged to 8ubscrlba.
The commission proposes to raise
the funds from the counties traversed
and private subscription. The resi
dents of the counties also will be
asked to aiibscrlbe, and others, It' Is
thought, will contribute toward the
enterprise.
The sentiment of Portland citizens
Is strongly in favor of the Portland
Salera road and promises ofasslstsnce
hava been received 'from various
sources.- Portland has promised to
give material aid o the project, pro
vided the cltlxena of Clackamaa and

CHAL'TACQUA GROUNDS, GLAD
STONE PARK. Or, July 14.(Spec-
lal). That Gladstone repented and
suffered tbe severest angulah for years
for hie favorable attitude toward the
South during the Civil War, waa the
declaration made by Dr. Charles F.
Aked, formerly In charge of one of
the largest cburcbe In Liverpool, In
hia address on "Gladstone, His Legacy
to the EngllBh People- at the Will
amette Valley Chautauqua today. The
speaker said that the great statesman
thoroughly realized his mistake and
that thla waa one of the signs of his
greatness.
"In the portrait gmlleriesi of t2as
world you will not find a greater con
trast between great men than that
between Gladstone and Lincoln," aaid
Dr. Aked. The one essentially refined
and the other essentially roagU. The
one born In squalid povery, the other
the .natural born heir of the world's
culture, associated from youth with
tbe world'a greatest leaders and with
tbe path to greatnesa smoothed.
Contract la 8hown.
"The Intellect of the one simple.
direct, abounding In quips, cranks and
homely anecdote, the other with In
tellect molded upon the classics. The
face of one. more marked, bears all
tba signs of mortal Buffering to cover
tears and rough clothing, to cover a
saddened aplrtt. Thq. other walk
with a conqueror's atep. Both are
one In devotion, patriotism and love
of human liberty.
"Lincoln . always loved liberty.
Gladstone waa born to a belief that
liberty would be a bad thing for the
world and later acquired different
Ideals through travel and hard knocks.
"The wonderful thing Is that our
human nature found Itself capable of
responding to the appeal of Gladstone
and Lincoln."
Dr. Aked gave a ahort history of
Gladstone s life, detailing bis political
achievements, relating touching and
humorous anecdotes and quoting lib
erally from Gladstone's diary. Ha
showed Gladstone to have been
wonderfully religious man.
Started Arbitration Move.
In speaking of Gladstone's attitude
in the Alabama Claim cases Dr. Aked
id:
He prevented a long and bloody war
between the two leading branches of
the English-speaking racea. This waa
the first move toward the permanent
arbitration treaty now under considera
tion. His goodnesa and greatness of
heart belonged not only to his own
people, but to the whole world. Salis
bury, his most capable opponent, call
ed Gladstone. 'The great Christian.'
"Gladstone st 12 waa the handsom
est boy that ever entered Eaton. He
studied for the ministry, but chose a
political career that he might do the
most good possible. That be did not
approve of war la evident from his
statement, 'The law of love Is not
confined to the British Islands, but It
covers the whole world and all peo
ples.'
Dr. Aked cloned with the following
quotation from Gladstone's diary:
The great end of my life must be
to make the love of God the habit of
my aoul."

Swan Peterson, a Beet Ion hand.

tion aa a auapect In the killing of
Archie Coble and hia wife in Ralnlee
Wash., wfio were slain with an ax
In.J
the same manner as tha HIM family t
their home near Ardenwald Station. C;:v
Sheriff Mas aald late last nioht tnt
ha expected to be palled to Ralnlfr J9U:
connection with the case. Pstaraasa f
waa taken to Tacoma.. Footprints f,f
the slayer are Identical, the width a",'
hia hand aa shown In bloodstains) is) ,
the same and both crimes ware asMnv,
mittad with striking similarity.
Dr. George A. Cathey, of PortiaosV- V
who has been working on tbe Coble -tragedy,
says that the motive for Us '.
crime waa tbe aame aa In tbe HRt
case. Peterson had worked a day J
and a half on tbe Ranler sectloa of i$
the Northern Pacific, disappearing; Li
just after the commission of the crlnse.
He did not draw bis wagea.
Bloodstains Found.
Dr. Cathey examined the room ln
which Peterson slept st the WaddeO, , .
Hotel In Rainier. The bedclothln waa
blood stained. .
A man resembling Peterson arrived -
at tbe McKenzle farm, ten milea from $
Ranler, the day after the crime. Elo
first act was to get water to wash his) H,
clothes. He aald he had com froas
romana. na went 10 won at use
McKenzle place and waa still at wort ';
when a neighbor who had talked wtl'-;
him sent word to Sheriff Gaston, ahor i
Iff of Thurston county. He waa toM ?
by the sheriff to. keep the man nnder '
surveillance until he could be arrest- "
ad.
It is considered more and mora '
probable at Rainier that theHill an4 J
Coble murders were committed by tho
aame man.
Finger Prints the Same.
Soon after tbe Hill murder. Dr.
Cathey and his brother removed tfco
window sills and door casings from
the scene of the quadruple crtmo aad
from them obtained blood Imprints try
the application of a liquid which haa
the peculiar virtue of bringing oot a
blnlsh-green tint wherever a blood
stain haa been loft.
On the sills and casings were found
several Imprints of the murderer's
hand. These are aald to be Identical
with the band Imprints aald to have
been left by Peterson in several places)
about tbe hotel at Rainier where bo
roomed.
The murderer at both places walked
tiptoed and In the Coble case a patch
on the aole of one shoe la ahown.
