and construction started that the
property will be turned over to the
Oregon Electric, and will be operated
as a part of the Hill Lines in Oregon.
Whether or not an effort will be mads
to hava it get. beyond Oregon City

In asking for a franchise in Port-;
land i'iose backing the road expressed !
a willingness to deposit with the city
a cash bond guaranteeing the comple

gave every indication of having tre- J
mendous financial resources at hand, i
While Mr. Carver is known to have '
ample funds for the complstion of the i
line at least between Portland and
Oregon City, those who are watching
the progress of the work believe that
wealthier interests are also concerned
in its construction.
DUNIWAY DEAD;
TROUBLE AHEAD
(Continued from page 1)
Oregon's fame as a corn growing
canter- is spreading. One carload of
sweet corn has already been sent to
San Francisco and the pleasure Of the
firm receiving it was so great that two
more carloads were ordered.
California is a very big producer of
sweet corn itself, but . it never saw
such corn as was recently shipped
from this state. The shipment was
mads by A. R. Cummings & Son of
Canby.- - -
The corn is by far the best ever
produced in this section and its ship
ment to the south is expected to
create additional interest in the in
dusty. The corn was packed in
berry crates and contained five dozen
ears each. The crates were used in
stead of sacks in order to give the
stock better ventilation during tran
sit, thereby saving it from heating.
This is not the first time that Cum
mings & Son have created surprise in
California by reason of the wonderful
quality of their product. Some months
ago the firm sent a carload of rhu
barb to the south and it showed Cali
fornia what real rhubarb looked like.
The buyers of the corn ordered a ship
ment of rhubarb to go forward with
the former.

of his successor by the governor, the

SMITH, BORAX KING,
FACING BANKRUPTCY
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 5.
Rated only a year or two ago among
the great multi-millionaires of Amer
ica, Francis M. Smith, widely known
as the "Borax King," appeared before
Judge Morrow in the United States
district court today to show . causa
why he should not be adjudged a bank-
rupt on debts amounting approximate
ly to $150,000.
The petition filed by Smith's credit
ors declares that prior to Ma 0,
when a committee was appointed to
act as trustees in managing his af
fairs, he conveyed without lucny con
sideration properties valued a. $.1,000,
000 to the Merchantil Triat company,
to B, F. Edwards and to his wife at a
time when he was insolvent These i
transfers it is alleged in the complaint 1
constitute acts of bauKruntcy. !
Smith's career is one of romances
of modern AmericanTinanoi?. Born in j
the town of Richmond, Wis., about
sixty-five years ago, he spent his boy
hood and 'youth on his father's farm.
At the age of twenty-on? he came
West and in 1872 ha discjvered the
great borax deposits in Nevada. After
years of labor he secured a monopoly
of the product and from that 'ime his
financial success was one of the won
ders of the West. Eveutr.r.lly he be
came the head of a two-huudred-mil-lion-dollar
string of corporations. Iiis
personal fortune has been estimated
at many millions.
REV. OVALL WOULD
PUT COLLEGE HERE
The Rev. John Ovall, of the Swedish
Methodist church, visited Oregon City
the early part of this week, and said
he was seeking a good location for a
college. Mr. Ovall says he is one of
a committee appointed by his chuch
board to find a site in the Northwest
for an institution to be devoted to the
education of Swedish-American youths
and maidens, and adds that he be
lieves Oregon City is a location that
should be called to the attention of
the board, and that he believes the
city has a good chance of being se
lected. The Rev. Ovall has canvassed most
of the smaller cities of Washington in
the interests of this college, and in
nearly every instance has expressed
the belief that the particular city he
was visiting was well suited to the
purposes in which he was interested.
Friends of his say that this is due to
the fact that most Western cities are
suitable for college towns, and add
that as he travels he probably finds
newer and more favorable locations.
Mr. Ovall for some time has made
Vancouver, Wn., his headquarters, and
in the garrison city has done much
good work in interesting people in the
Swedish church. He will speak upon
the same subject in the First Metho
dist church here this week.

Foresters in Convention
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5. Nearly
all of the states of the Union and
many of the Provinces of Canada
were represented here today at the
opening of the international conven
tion of the Catholic Order of Forest
ers. At 9 o'clock this morning the
delegates attended solemn high mass
at the 'cathedral. The remainder of
the day was filled up largely with
committee meetings and sightseeing.
Colonel Moore was a fearless rider.
Again and again he rode his horse at
full speed against the unknown obsta
cle, but in vain. At last, tirged fierce
ly by whip and spur, the terrified ani
mal, with a snort of terror, cleared the
low hedge for such the obstruction
proved to be and went over the cliff.
Colonel Moore says that during his
flight on horseback through the air
every event of his whole life seemed
to pass in a luminous panorama be
fore him. Suddenly there came a ter
rific concussion, which deprived him
of his senses and left him with his
legs in the sea and his body on the
rocks-, apparently dead. -
He must have lain there stunned for
some hours, for when at last the lap
ping water and the cool breezes restor
ed him the moon was shining brightly
in midheaven, and its beams fell upon
the upturned, glittering shoes of his
gallant horse, which lay dead nd
mangled beside him.
As' soon as he had collected his scat
tered wits Colonel Moore coolly began
to examine himself to ascertain what
injuries he had sustained. He found
that he was severely cut about the
body and head, that his right ankle
was dislocated and that his back was
benumbed or paralyzed by the concus
sion of his fall. '
When the sun rose it shone upon his
bare, bleediDg head with such Intol
erable heat that, as a protection from
Its rays, he tied his cotton handker
chief about his forehead. Above his
bead projected the two ends -of the
knotted bandage stained crimson with
his blood. -
After lying in horrible pain for sev
eral hours he spied a boatful of na
tives rowing toward the spot where he
lay. As they came near he hailed
them in a faint voice, but the mo
ment they saw the ghastly figure of
the colonel, with his bloody headdress,
they set up a yell and rowed away as
if 20,000 fiends were after them.
After some time a single black man
came clambering over the rocks, in
tent on catching fish. He was within
a few yards of the colonel when the
latter hailed him. The moment the ne
gro caught sight of the bleeding head
andthe blood stained bandage he, too,
uttered a fearful yell, flung down his
rod and line and scrambled off over
the rocks as fast as his feet and hands
would carry him.
The colonel now began to resign him
self to the prospect of a lingering
death, but fortunately his English
servant, alarmed at his master's ab
sence, went In search of him and, fol
lowing the horse's tracks, at last came
to the edge of the precipice.
The sudden disappearance of the
hoof prints near the low hedge fence
convinced him that an accident had t
happened. He ran to the barracks and
got out a boat, which a party of sol
diers rowed to the foot of the cliff.
Very tenderly and carefully the sol
diers lifted the colonel into the boat
and brought him back to the barracks.
For some months he lay In great pain
and danger, but In time the paralyzed
muscles of his back recovered, and
eventually he was restored to complete
health. Not even the slightest touch
of lameness remained to remind him
of his fall. '
STATE COLLEGE TO
HAVE FINE CAMPUS
CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug. 5. Campus
plans for improving the Oregon Agri
cultural college grounds comprehend
the three-fold feature of economy and
convenience in use, and beauty for all
who traverse them. The scope of the
plans is outlined by Professor A. L.
Peck, landscape gardener in charge,
simewhat as follows:
The grounds about Cauthom hall
will be straightened up and made at
tractive and the fir hedge on the east
will be removed, bringing the hall
from its former retirement and put
ting it on the campus map.
After drainage, the athletic fidd
will be divided into tracks, fields and
courts, and fitted up with apparatus
for the use of classes, in physical culture,-
and, when not so employed, of
any of the men. A section of the field
will be set aside for the use of non
specialized athletics, so that the men
who most need physical exercise and
generally get the least of it may play
baseball, football, socctr, or at other
SDorts they enjoy. . It is expected that
this department in athletics will make
out-door sports so attractive that ev
ery man will take soma part in them.
But the competitive features will
not be neglected, and a football field
for varsity games exclusively w-11 be
provided, and a good diamond will be
laid out Around the football field
will run a quarter-nuie track with a
hundred-yard straight-away, - carrying
seven three-foot alleys. The section
for paid admissions will be "sereeaed
as rapidly, as possible- with vines; train
ed on a woven-wire tmw.-.- Movable
bleachers, in sections, will bo provided.
AUTOISTS PLAN TRIP
Charles W. Risley and John F. Ris
ley and their families left Monday in
two automobiles for Southern Oregon.
They will be absent several weeks,
and will tour through Southern and
Eastern Oregon, visiting Medford,
Crater Lake and Eastern Oregon
towns. Both men are prominent mem
bers of the Clackamas County Auto
mobile club.

WILLAMETTE HOLDS
BALLOTING TODAY
Willamette today will try for the
second time to increase her territory,
so as ti include about two-fifths of the
vah.ible mill property that has here
tofore been outside of the corporate
limits of the city, and also to prevent
the proposed city of West Linn from
gaining too great a share of the bene
fits of the Willamette school district.
A former election, held for a similar
purpose, was defeated- in its purpose
by three votes.
- The election today concerns more
territory than did the former one, and
the territory added to what was form
erly desired was picked with . a view
to the inclination of its inhabitants to
join the city. Learning of this, some
voters who were opposed to seeing
the annexation scheme go through
moved into the territory where a vote
is cast, and establishing "residence"
in tents, declared that they would
claim the right to cast a ballot. It is
believed that their votes will be chal
lenged if they attempt to enter th3
polling places.'

HIS WILD LEAP IN THE DARK.

Perhaps the most extraordinary fall
that a human being ever survived is
that described by Thormanby . in his
"Sporting Stories." The lucky man
was Colonel William Yorke Moore, a
British officer, who rode his horse in
the dark over a sheer precipice 247
feet in height and came out alive! It
seems incredible that such a fearful
experience should result in anything
but instant death, yet here are the
factsj which once again confirm the
adage that truth la more wonderful
than fiction:
Colonel Moore, who commanded the
troops at Dominica, lost his way one
evening after sunset. In complete
darkness he endeavored to make his
way home. Two or three times he
had difficulty in making his horso
cross obstacles, and at last they came
