stars: Mercury, Mars, Saturn. Morn
ing stars: Venus. Jupiter. Good Fri
day. Our Commercial Club through its
Publicity Committee and Live Wires
Association works systematical! and
arduously along the lines of further
ing the interests of the city, county
and state. Advertising matter is sent
out to Interest persons with even
small capital to come here. Still, no
organized effort has been made so
far toward having our present large
industries expand. Our law maksrs
continue to make things more burd
ensome: our new prospective legis
lators, at least some of them, are plan
ning to put in their "knock'' to dark
en the paths of those who have al
ready done so much toward the up
building of our community We have
seemed willing to take on new
schemes, some of them probably wild
cat while we do not interest ourselves
along lines of greater possibility and
larger reward.
One of our plants Is undecided
where to erect its newly ordered pa
per machine, the largest of its kind
in the world. Washington offers
greater inducements, it is claimed,
and even though there is a large
freight on . the raw material, Oregon
City to Camas, the people of Wash
ington know the value of factories,
industry and pay rolls, and have made
the row of the moneyed interests eas
ier to hoe, for even capital must see
a clear and clean road ahead before
they will attempt to travel.
The Live Wires Association has ap
pointed a goo3 committee to see tne
men interested. It is to be hoped
that their efforts will brings the prize
to our already large pay roll district,
but are we In a position at this time
of uncertainty regarding laws to offer

alter the women had been refused seats at the anti-slavery
convention which met in London, so doubtless these new suf
frage societies which are approaching the situation with such

not allowed to participate in the legal and formal effort to EIGHT

first to disturb it and later to be redressed.
MUCH OF THE NEW DEMAND FOR POLITICAL ENFRANCHISE

forced upon WOMAN'S ATTENTION - in painful and intimate
ways.
But because of the tendency to nationalize all industrial and com

TWO KILLED WHEN

ROSEBURG, Or., April 4 That the
explosion of the Southern Pacific
freight locomotive which occurred on
Rice Hill, about thirty miles north of
Roseburg early this afternoon, and re
sulted in the almost instant death
of Engineer M. M. Bartlett and Fire
man Bert Anderson, both of Rosebuug
was caused by the dropping of the
crown sheet was the opinion express
ed by Assistant Superintendent Mor
ris, of Portland, who returned from
the scene of the wreck tonight.
According to the members of the
crew, the ill-fated train was ascend
ing Rice Hill, propelled by three lo
comotives, when one of their number
suddenly exploded with a crash that
could be heard for nearly a mile.
Terrified by the impact of the ex
plosion and the sound of escaping
steam, the trainmen, who occupied
the caboose at the rear of the train,
hastened forward to find the locomo
tive a complete wreck.
Well trained in the art of "first aid"
the trainmen worked heroically, but
it was with difficulty they extricated
the unfortunate enginemen from be
neath the wreck. Bartlett was dead
when taken from the debris, and Ad
derson expired ten minutes later.

terest3 and it is. now evident that a
quiet and concerted effort is being
made to defeat them at the primary
election and secure the nomination
of men who-are in sympathy with
the interests and are opposed to Par
cels' Post. The usual tactics are re
sorted to, such as personal abuse, in
order to throw dust in the eyes of
the voters and cover up the real is
sue, but their main hold is that a great
many farmers will neglect to regS ter
for the primary election which will
be held April 19.
"We appeal to the farmers of Ore

Post to register before the books are
closed on April 9, at 5 p jn., then go
to the polls on April 18 and vote for
Parcels" Post by voting for men who
will represent you in this matter. We
have no initiative and referendum as
yet, in national affairs, and must be
represented by proxies in these im
portant issues. Be sure you vote for
men who represent you and not . the
merchant associations and express
companies.
"The candidates are selected at the
primary election and if you allow the
other fellow to make the selection you
will have no choice but to vote for his
proxy at the November election and
he will have a representative in Con
gress and not you.
"If we take advantage of this op
portunity to do something for Par
cels' Post and show our appreciation
of the wrk already done for this
cause it will likely influence the enact
ment of a Parcels' Post law at the
present session of Congress, but If we
neglect this opportunity and, the inter

POSTOFFICE REFORM
WASHINGTON, April 4. Abolition
of the patronage system regardng
first and second class postmasters,
pension agents, employes of the land
offices, the internal revenue and cust
oms services, and the transfer of such
positions to the classified civil ser
vice lists are recommended to Con
gress by President Taft today in a
"second chapter' message on economy
and efficiency. The message in part
was:
"In the interests of an efficient and
economical administration of the gov
ernment, I urge the, necessity
for the inauguration of this
important reform and recommend as
necessary amendments -to the laws
governing such appointments, to "take
effect not later than July 1, 1913, so
that there may be secured to the peo
ple the benefits to be derived from the
conduct of their affairs by officers se
lected On the basis of merit and de
voting their time and talent solely
to the duties of their offices.

recommendations, if acted upcV, will
largely increase efficiency. Directly
and indirectly, the changes proposedf
Will result In saving millions of dol

TO BE SHAMMING
become confused. He declares the ev
idence against -him Is not strong.
Thoroughly convinced that they
have the right man, Sheriff Stevens
aided by several deputies resumed
"sweating" Roberts. .
Despite the bombardment of ques-
i4vv.ukiHuuo auu .uaigca, uuiicu
at Roberts for four hours late last
j night and five hours today, the g x
convict showed no indications tonight
of breaking down or making a con
cession. Officials who participated in
the "sweating ' .say he is one of the
shrewdest criminals they have match
ed wits with for. years.
With- information already filed
charging Roberts with the murder of
.the two boys, Deputy District Attorn
ey Fitzgerald, who probably will try
the case, said today that the grand
jury will be called together within
two days and the case be submitted
to it. It is expected two indictments
charging murder will be returned
against the accused man. Should
Roberts demand immediate hearing
however, Fitzgerald said that sufficient
testimony to hold him would be given
before Judge Kavanaugh.
Charles Stewart, father of Donald
Stewart, one of the murdered youths,
has tentatively retainde Dan Malarkey
and the firm of Logan & Stevenson
to investigate th evidence, with a
view of acting as special prosecutors
should they decide that the case is
strong enough to convict the suspect.
Attorney Logan and Stevenson, who
were present when Roberts was
severely cross examined in the sher
iff's office last night, said today that
they were certain that Roberts was
guilty. Fitzgerald and other persons
who were present expressed the same
opinion. They were convinced they
said by the evidence held against the
men combined with his general de
meanor when under fire last i;ght and
significant replies which were wrung
from him.
Faced by Sheriff Stevens and Sher
iff Mass. Deputy Sheriffs Leonard,
Philips, Hunter and Wood, Deputy
District Attorney Fitzgerald and At
torneys Stevenson and Logan, Rob
erts alternately joked, cursed and.
glared in stony silence at his inter
rogators. . -
"You can't get any of this state
ment stuff out of me," he declared,
sullenly when led into Stevens' of
fice. .
Stung by rapid fire questions which
followed the man later changed his
mind and talked on his life and crim
inal experiences. He sheered away
from practically all questions touch
ing on the murders Friday night, and
while intimating he might prove an
alibi, he spoke of it in a vague man
ner. He refused point blank to give
any acount of his whereabouts Friday
and Saturday.
"Why should I tell you where I was
or anything else?r he queried.
"You fellows have got- to prove
where I was. I don't have to prove
myself-innocent What I got to say
I will say at the trial."
Roberts was asked his theory of
the crime.
"I believe it was a hold-up,'' he re
plied. "Probably the man got mad
when the automobile didn't stop and
he aimed to shoot over the heads
of the young fellows and shot too low."
"Now isn't that just what happened
Jack?" asked Fitzgerald.
"I dunno," replied the suspect and
relapsed into silence.
Later when he was asked to clear
up the matter for the sake of his
mother Roberts said:
"Too much has been said already.
If I was convicted, I'd tell her all
about it anyhow." "
Suddenly realizing that the state
ment might be construed as an ad
mission, Roberts hastened to clarify
it by saying he would ' explain that
he had been convicted of something
he was- not guilty of.
