GOVERNOR GEER USES SPADE
Terns First Earth in Presence f a
Great Assemblage Cottage Grove
Celebrates the Brent in
Grand Style.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or., April 30. At 3
o'clock today, upon the arrival of the
south-bound overland, there alighted Gov
ernor Gecr, Mrs. Geer, and Colonel Hofer,
of Salem; P. J. Jennings, I. H. Bingham
and F. J. "Watson, of Portland; Hon. R. A.
Booth, Hon. Samuel Friendly, F. L.
Chambers and many other prominent clti
z'ns of Eugene, and delegations from
nearly ell parts of Lane County, for the
purpose of lending their aid and encour
agement to a movement which marks an
epoch In the history of this section the
commencement of a railroad from this, clty
to the Bohemia mines. The town folks
and countrywide had been notified, and
awmblcd from far and near, and there
gathered the largest number of people in
the history of Cottage Grove. A grand
itapd had been erected 400 feet from the
initial point of the new railroad depot
site. The Governor and Invited guests
w re escorted there, amid the strains of
music and the booming of cannon.
Speeches were made by Governor Geer
and Senator Booth, and, amid long and
prolonged cheering, the Governor turned
the first spadeful of earth for the railroad
from Cottajre Grove to Bohemia, which
means so much to the raining and busi
ness Interects of this commonwealth. At
the conclusion of the ceremonies on the
terminal grounds a banquet was given at
the Sherwood Hotel, and this evening a
grand reception was held at the opera
house, which was filled to overflowing.
For two hours the audience listened to
speeches by the visitors, songs, and music
by the band. On the adjournment of the
meeting the citizens were given opportu
nity to become acquainted with Oregon's
Governor.
It is expected that all will be In readi
ness and that actual grading will begin
Friday, and from that time on there will
be no let-up until the Iron horse shall have
penetrated to the heart of Bohemia to
bring forth the great bodies of ore there
awaiting transportation, and which, when
scientifically treated, will add millions to
the wealth of Oregpn. This enterprise
will open up one of the largest belts of
timber in the state, and put hundreds of
men to work In mines, mills and logging
camps.
The day was cloudy and threatening,
with gentle rain at intervals, but the cele
bration went off without a. hitch. There
is not tonight to be found a more happy
and hopeful people in any community on
the Pacific Coast than those of Cottage
Grove.

officers for the ensuing term. The debate
was spirited at times, especially on the

esters at sight, both of which were con
sidered radical departures. Final action
was deferred for the present.

prolonged applause. He was declared

TURXS PHEASANTS LOOSE.
Baker Connty "Will Import More of
Fnraong Denny Birds.
BAKER CITY, April 30. Last Fall Fred
Ernest of this city, obtained several
pairs of Chinese pheasants from the- Wil
lamette Valley. He turned them over to
Colonel Panting, of the Gold Hill mine,
who placed them In an lnclosure and
cared for them all Winter. Colonel Pant
ing has turned the birds loose In the hille,
and he feels satisfied that they will
thrive. For several weeks they have been
'trying to escape, and showed every indi
tcation of a desire to get into the timber,
"where they can build their nests. An
other lot of "birds will be brought up
ifrom the coast this Fall, to be kept here
all Winter, in order that they may be
come used lo the climate before being
turned out. The failure of the birds to
remain In thla-pdrt of the state when sent
here before is believed to be due to the
fact that they were releasd at once, and
not blng used to this high altitude they
sought lower country.
DR. STRONG RETURNS.
"Will Soon Leave Oregon to Become
Hend of University of Kansas.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, April sa
Dr. Frank Strong returned last night'from
Lawrence, Kan., but has nothing for pub
lication concerning his resignation of the
presidency of the State University. The
position to which he was recently elected,
that of chancellor of the University or
Kansas, makes Dr. Strong the president
of the board of regents of the State Uni
versity of Kansas, and also a regular
"member of the board. This position gives
him the power to select his own faculty,
which will consist of SO or 100 instructors.
Dr. Strong states that he regrets very
much to leave Oregon, but the chance to
enter a broader field was an opportunity
he could not well afford to pass by. He
will remain in Oregon until the close of
the present collego year.
Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, head of the de
partment of philosophy and education,
addressed the students at assembly this
morning on the "Reorganized Educational
System of the United States." The new
system is expected to lengthen the course
of work covered by the high schools to
six. or seven years, which will practlcahy
include all the language and mathematical
work that Is now demanded of students in
the colleges and universities, and will thus
enable the college student to shorten his
university course, and to pursue a course
directly leading to a professional career.
Under the new system the old-time col
lege will be eliminated or absorbed by the
high pr secondary schools, while the larger
colleges will all become universities.

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove,

Swafford and Walter E. Keys, of Willam
ette University, will defend the affirma
tive, and William G. Hare, W. B. Shlve
ley, and V. E. Emmel, of Pacific Univer

BEST THUNDER MOUNTAIN ItOUTE.
Baker City, as Starting: Point, Has
Many Advantages.
BAKER CITY, April 30. Despite the
fact that all other routes to the Thun
der Mountain gold fields have been ex
tensively advertised, a large number of
prospectors, who are familiar with the
country over which they will have to
travel, are outfitting in this city for the
trip to the new gold fields. The road from
here Js said to be far better than that of
any other route. From this city travelers
follow a well-built road to Ballard's Land
ing, on Snake River, where there is a
good fording place. From that point there
ls,a good trail to Warren. There Is plenty
of feed to be had along the route from
thte city, a good portion of the way, so
that it is not necessary to carry so much
grain for the stock as it is along other
routes.

of the employes who are most prominent

HOT FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS
WASHINGTON OFFICER CHASES
MAX EXiEVEN MILES.
Desperado Gives Up His Life Part
neer, Although 'HandcaXed, Es
capes, and la Still at Large.
DAVENPORT, Wash., April 30. On of
the most desperate battles ever fought In
the Northwest, between officers of the
law and desperadoes, occurred Sunday at
Almlra, west of here. As a result, Billy
Gibbons, one of the desperadoes, lies dead,
and his partner Is at large, though hand
cuffed. Dr. H. J. Whitney, who has just
returned from Almlra, gives the follow
ing particulars:
"About two weeks ago, Gibbons and
Wild rpunded up a band of horses to ship
to Wyoming. Deputy Nlcbell, of Okano
gan County, followed the thieves for two
weeks, through Okanogan County, locat
ing them at Almlra. Nlchell and Consta
ble Phillips, of Almlra. captured Wild In a
livery stable. Wild drew his gun, but the
Deputy Sheriff covered him, and the Con
stable grabbed the weapon. The prison
er was handcuffed, and turned over'', to a
group of about 20 men in the hotel office.
"Gibbons was seen entering a, saloon.
The officers found their man In a sldfe
room. Nlchell drew his gun, and ordered
the desperado to surrender. Gibbons
Jumped behind a bystander, and shoved
him towards the officers, at the same time
drawing his revolver, and starting for
the side door. He raised nls left arm to
shoot, and Nlchell shot the fugitive In
the side under his upraised arm. Gibbons'
bullet went wild, and he started for his
saddle-horse two blocks away," firing as he
ran. While he was mounting, he was
again hit in the hip and arm, and his
horso was shot through the hips. The
animal, however, carried Its rider a quar
ter of a mile, to where a bare-back horse
was standing, tied with a halter. The
wounded horse was discarded for the
fresh one. Meanwhile Nlchell had secured
his mount from the stabla, and he soon
came within gunshot ot the fleeing man.
"A running fight was kept up 11 miles,
when Gibbons threw down his gun and
dismounted. The desperado had but two
cartridges left, having used a belt full of
ammunition. He was brought to Almlra,
and died at midnight. In the presence of
his father and mother,
"Wild, meanwhile, guarded and hand
cuffed, was kept In the hotel office in the
presence of about 20 men. Suddenly, late
at night, a face appeared on the outside
of the window, and Wild smiled and
dashed through tbo door. It Is supposed
Wild escaped on horseback, and no trac,e
of him has been found.
"The Gibbons, boy sv William and George,
were raised on Crab Creek, William was
about 5, and George Is about 30. .Roth
have served terms for cattle-stealing, and
George Is today a fugitive from Justice,"
