WOMAN SAVED BY A NEIGHBOR Drunken Stevedore Makes an .Attack: ' AVltU an Open Pocket Knife, bat Is Unable to Carry : Oat Design. TVilllam Locklngton, a stevedore resid ing. In Lower Albina, In the employ of Brown. and McCabe. made a desperate at tempt to murder his wife and commit suicide last night, as the final act of a two weeks' spree. Owing to the Interfer ence of the nleghbors he was unable to accomplish his purpose. The self-inflicted wounds were very severe, however, and this life was despaired of until he reached the hospital and was attended with medi cal aid. His wife was badly cut on the face and wrist, but will soon recover. Locklngton is about 2S years of age. and bis wife slightly younger, the two, to gether with two small boys making up the family. They moved to this city from Tacoma about four years ago, residing at 504 Borthwick street, since which time there have been many family differences, most of "which were brought on by Lock lngton's overdrinking. A lltttle o'er a year ago ho swore off, and for about IS months he kept bis oath, but about two weeks ago he could not resist temptation, and started in again. For a "week he kept his wife in a continual state of terror, then on the promise of giving half the proceeds, he secured her signature to a bill of sale for their personal property, and having sold the same, he took the money to Tacoma. This was on Saturday, July 26. Ho spent all this money In the Sound city, and on the following Thurs day returned home to secure more money from his wife. He found that in the ab sence she had been cared for by some of the nighbors, who had slept in the house and furnished her with the necessities of life. He entered a complaint at the police station against the neighbors for tres pass. In the meantime his wife learned of his return, and likewise informed the of ficers. She would not swear out a war rant, so all that could be done was to order Patrolman Endicott of the Lower Albina beat to look out for the woman. All was quiet Friday and Saturday nights, though the officer remained in the vicin ity of the houso till late in tho evening. Sunday ( It was reported that the matter had been peaceably settled and that he would return to his house without trou bling neighbors. He had been drinking heavily tho last three days, and yesterday afternoon was In a very ugly frame of mind, several times threatening his wife. About a Quarter past seven in the evening they got Into a dispute concerning the whereabouts of a neighbor, and being an gered by the words of the wife, he started after her with an open pocket knife. They were on the fronti porch at the time, and Bhe sprang into the yard, and jumped from the stone fence to the sidewalk sev eral feet below. He Jumped on top of her, trying to cut her throat with tho knife, but she struggled free, and ran up Borthwlck street about SO feet until she was In front of the. house of a neighbor named Clink. Here he overtook her, but Clink ran from his yard with a piece of iron pipe in his hand, and hit Locklngton over tho head with It. Again the woman escaped and ran di rectly acrops the street to a boarding house, but Locklngton also escaped from the man with the pipe, and running to his wife he cut her three or four times on the cheeks, on the shoulder and on her wrist. Clink coming to her assistance. Then walking rapidly toward Page street, Locklngton snarled an oath to a woman who had witnessed the affair, and was clinging to her gate post in a half faint ing condition. He reached tho corner, and then made several jabs at his own throat, just grazing the Aindplpo and narrowly missing the Jugular vein. By thlB time a crowd had gathered, and the woman was cared for while the patrol wagon was sent for to take charge of the man. On the arrival of the doctors, they said that Sirs. Locklngton was not badly hurt. On being told that her husband was not dead, she fainted away, showing con clusively that she dwelt In constant fear of him. Last night she was resting easily, -with the proper medical attendance. Meanwhile the patrol wagon had arrived and picked up tho wduld-be-murderer. His condition was seen to be serious, and he was quickly driven to St. Vincent's hos pital where he was examined and his wounds cared for. Ho was in a very pre carious condition at an early hour this morning. If he recovers he will have to face the charge of assault with attempt to kill. ' BONUS FOR MEAT PLANT Board of Trade Hob Offer From East ern, Concern. The possibilities of Portland as a meat packing center, as outlined in The Ore gonian, have aroused interest among cap italists, and one or two Eastern concerns are already looking over tho field. Secre tary J. M. Moore, of the Board of Trade yesterday received the following letter from one of the officials of a large Eastern pork-packing establishment, the name of which, the Board of Trade, for reasons of Its own, withholds for the present: Tho honorable Board of Trade of your city understand that to construct a plant of some proportions and develop such a business as that under consideration will require consider able capltaland money Investment. Prom investigations It appears, to begin with the number of suitable hogs from which to make good bacon Is limited, and an Invest ment, at first, would "have to correspond to the source of supply and also to the market for the product. I would say the conditions would not Justify, at first, a plant which would exceed 350,000, nor could there be expected employment for more than 175 to 250 men per day, provision to be made In tho construction of such a plant for Its extension from time to time as tho business demands would Justify. Should my associates and myself undertake the development of such a packing-house busi ness In Portland, we will put In an up-to-date plant In every way. looking to Its extension from time to time as the development of the business will Justify, and will do our full part in building up the business. Tou understand that it takes considerable ground for a plant of this character, to fur nish stockyard facilities, etc; therefore. If tha City of Portland and vicinity will donate CO acres of ground in a suitable location and 523.000 In cash, the plant, after erection, to bo exempted from taxation for three years my associates and myself will put In such a plant as Indicated above, and develop tho bus inessputting in an even more oxtnslve one to begin With, If, on further investigation, on the ground, tho source of supply of hogs is found to Justify It; assuming, of course, that there will bo no difficulty In securing an ade quate supply of good beef cattle and sheep. Hogs, of, course, will have to be of good qual ity to make bacon that will compete In the opon market; extending the plant from year to year to meet the development of the business, until It is on an equal basis with any of the packing plants of Omaha and Kansas City. After hearing from the Board of Trade of Portland on this subject. I shall visit Portland and the Northwestern territory, with some of my associates, and Investigate the matter more fully. . At the regular meeting of the Board of Trade last evening, a committee consist ing of W. M. Killlngsworth. J. M. tMoore, Seneca Smith and J. B. Crofoot, was ap pointed, to consider the above proposition, and to report to the board at the next reg ular meeting. Among the things discussed by the Board of Trade was the advisability of placing a permanent exhibit at the Union depot, where tourists may examine the products ot the state and obtain definite Informa tion as to its resources. "W. E. Coman, general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Company, was present and spoke enthusiastically upon the prop osition, urging the board to establish the exhibit, and promising hearty support and co-operation. Others addressed the meet ing upon the same subject, but it was de cided to postpone definite action until Thursday evening, when a special meeting of the Board of Trade will be held for the sole purpose of considering thl3 important matter. It 13 understood that Colonel H. E. Dosch has kindly offered to loan the board the valuable collection of Oregon products recently displayed at the Charleston 'Ex position. Part of this collection belongs to the state exhibit, and the remainder Is the personal .property of Colonel Dosch. The room in which it is proposed to place the display is located directly over the depot ticket office, and opens onto, the balcony at the east end of the general waiting-room. The room Is 60 feet long by 00 feet wide, and is well lighted. No other place In Oregon Is so conspicuous to tourists, many of whom spend several hours in and around the depot each day. It was suggested at the meeting last even ing that each county In the state be asked to furnish a small permanent exhibit, and that these be Included In the general ex hibit at the depot. This scheme of ad vertising the resources of the state is regarded as a aood one, and It is highly probable that the Board of Trade will make an effort to carry the plan Into oper ation. To DIkcubh Irrigation. Before the adjournment of last even ing's meeting the Board of Trade decided to hold a speclai meeting some time next week, when the .Irrigation question will be discussed with George H. Maxwell, execu tive chali-nian of the National Irrigation Association. Mr. Maxwell, who was in Portland lost week, will return In a few days, and the special meeting will be ar ranged for as soon as a definite date can be selected. "TIMES" TO GO UP TOWN. Bettei Transit Makes It Possible to Leave "YcTVupapcr Roir. NEW YORK, Aug. A. It is announced today that the New York Times has ac quired the triangle bounded by Broadway, "West Forty-second street and Seventh avenue and will at once begin the erec tion thereon of a large modern steel con structed building, primarily for its own use. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy early in 1504. In the nearly 51 years of Its existence the Times has occupied buildings "In "Newtpapei Row," f.iclng City Hall Park, and the announcement that It Is to be moved to the uptown district has caused much comment. The first of these, in 1S5L was at 113 Natsau street, Tho second was at the northeast corner of Nassau and Beekman streets. The third was the one wherein the newspaper Is now pub lished. Two buildings In succession have been erected on the present site, the first in 1S57 and the second In 1SSS. The block on which the new building is to stand la triangular in form. The plot Itself Is a trapezoid, the dimensions be ing 143 feet on Broadway, 58.4 feet on "West Forty-second strest, 13CG feet on Seventh avenue and 20 feet on the north, facing Long Acre Square. In announcing the purpose of abandoning its present quarters the Times says: - "To many of tho older New Yorkers the notion of a newspaper moving so far up town will seem Angular. For yeare tho popular idea has been that the location near the City Hal! Park where ec many rewspapers had their birth, and where so many are now grouped, was an essen tial. This was true in the years gone by and is still true In great measure. The next IS months, however, promise to make a revolution in many respecte ow ing to. the new transit facilities which the underground railway and the Penn sylvania tunnel provide.'' GETS WATER POWER. Suit of Portland Companies Is De cided by County Judge. OREGON CITY, Aug. 4. (Special,) The salo of tho John S. Green estate for $11,000 to Fred S. Morris, financier of the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Com pany, was confirmed today. The case has been In the courts for several months, and the property was of little value save for development purposes, but was especially desired by Mr. Morris for the site of the new power station of the company. The appraised value was only a few hundred dollars, but on the day of the salo tho Portland General Electric Company unexpectedly came to i the front and competed in the bidding with tho result that the land cost Mr. Morris as many thousands as the hundreds ho had expected to pay. Confirmation to the sale was fought In tho County Court by Governor-elect Chamberlain and George Cameron, who appeared in behalf of Caroline Green, one of tho heirs. One material objection to the confirmation was that she had not been served with the citation. In her appearance before the court she also objected to the grant ing of the order of sale and set up irreg ularities in the manner of sale. The Court held that Caroline Green was a necessary party to the hearing and was not foramlly served with a citation which would have been sufficient, had her ap pearance been confined to that point, to set aside the sale, but her attorneys having gone into the merits of tho con troversy and set up other alleged facts than failure to serve her with citation, her appearance is held to be general and by such general appearance she has submitted herself to the jurisdiction of the court and waived service upon her, thus validating the order of sale. The de cision was handed down by Judge Ryan. "William T. Mulr and Franklin T. Griffith appeared for the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company. GUARDSMAN LOSES LEG. John S. Ilellljr, of Oregon City, Un dergoes an Amputation. It became necessary yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital to amputate the left leg of John S. Rellly, 2S years old. of Oregon City, member of Company D, Sec ond Oregon "Volunteers, under rather un usual conditions. Last January a. steel silver forced its way, through an acci dent, Into Rellly's leg, and the femoral artery was cut, also the outside tissue. He received the best of medical care, but an aneurism grew, and this was Hsated one week ago today. Yesterday the pa tient changed for the worse, and as a last means of saving his life the injured limb was amputated above the knee. Last night Relily was resting as comfortably as could be expected. Dr. Summers, of Oregon City, assisted at the operation. EXCURSION" KATES TO SALT LAKE CITY. For the Elks' convention at Salt Lake August 12-14. the O.

Tie-Savrinar Industry of the Sandy Route of N'err Trolley Line Bull Run "Water Works. A trip awheel through the varied coun try roads of Eastern Multnomah and Clackamas Counties is one full of inter est, and every turn of the road brings to view new scenery. It Is a revelation from start to finish. Few Portlanders realize the real beauty that lies to the eastward, and scarcely any know of the richness of the country that a two days' trip on a bicycle will reveal. It can be seen that the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company, 'which is preparing to build a trolley line through a portion or this district, will have a good thing. and a paying line out of Portland. To get a clear conception of the country one must take the roads as they come, and he will find much hill climbing in a CO mile jaunt through Multnomah County. These conditions are not encountered west of the Sandy River, where the County Court has spent thousands of dollars on the roads and where smooth cycle paths take away all effort In nushlnir the nedals of a bicycle. The writer advises the one with weak hearts or lazy disposition not to go east of the Sandy River; for beyond means much hill climbing, the labor on which is more than repaid In the match less beauty of the country. A seasoned wheelman, however, can go all over the county and take In a portion of Clacka mas County to the southward without much effort. To those who cannot afford to go to the seaside or the mountains for a month, many tours at small expense are open. There are inns along the route where one can get the substantlals. Over a considerable portion of Eastern Mult nomah and Clackamas Counties the Zlg Zag Cycle Club, of Portland, has just made a tour of 80 miles In two days. Fred McCarver and Paul E. Gelsler were photographers; J. "W. Slngletnry, scientist; T. Hart Gardner, superintend ent of the commissary department, and the writer rear guard and expert wheel man. The remainder of tho party had other duties assigned them. At Gresham a chicken breakfast, pre viously ordered, was eaten with fine rel ish. Here is the heart of the matchless Powell Valley. In 1E50, Jackson and James Powell pushed their way through the wilderness and unbroken forest that swept over the country cast of tho Willa mette River, following tho trail that aft erwards became Powell Valley Read, fin ally setting up their tents a little to the north of Gresham, and thus opening up the first farm. Archon Kelly, son of "Father" Clinton Kelly, pushed on seven miles and started his farm at what Is now called Pleasant Home. At thl3 lat ter place the old log barn is all that re mains of the homestead, and it is fast settling into decay. Kelly has passed away, so have the Powells, and they would be amazed at the progress of the country since their time. Before the snow flies it is promised to the residents of Gresham that they will be connected with Portland by trolley line as finely equipped as any electric line In the United States. A place for a station has already been picked out, and owners of corner lots are already figuring on three-story bricks. The route of the trolley swings along the meanderlngs of Johnson Creek, ' through the south side of W. V. Cotton's farm, and cuts through many farms before passing through Gresham. J. N. Davis, agent, with the aid of a committee of citizens, has been successful In securing 'rights of way through most of this part of the county. It can be seen that this new trol ley line will pay well. Surrounding Gresham is as fine farming band as can be found on tho Pacific Coast. Hay and potatoes are the staple production. Farm ers having 10 to 100 acres have grown rich, and land is hardly for sale at any price. With a trolley line running to Portland, Powell Valley will develop more rapidly than ever before. Here are dairies. W. "W. Cotton, on his splendid farm just west of Gresnam, turns out the finest butter offered in the Portland markets. Here on his place is a hop field that pays welL One can stand on any of the elevations near Gresham and count hundreds of attractive farmhouses, and expansive hayflelds just being cut, or great fields of potatoes that bring nearly Jl per bushel. Over et Falrvlew Is the cheese factory and new flour and feed mill of H. C. Campbell and other Portland men, who have seen the future greatness of this promising district and invested their cash. Captain A. T. Webb, Captain J. A. Brown and W. W. Cotton have poured out money like water In the development of their fine farms and In clearing new land. At Gresham Is "a fine, modern school house. Tho Methodist congregation will soon erect a manse. New business build ings have been erected since the fire. The Gresham Grange has a fine hall on the Powell road. The Odd Fellows lodge has a two-story hall. All county roads pass through Gresham. From tho post office, Mrs. McColl, postmistress, and two carriers, Eugene L. Thorpjand Fred G. Conley, deliver mall to the doors of the farms for circuits over 30 miles, dally. The telephone connects the place with tho outside world, and shortly there will bo a passenger station for the electric Tallway, which will follow Johnson Creek to the proposed power station on the Clackamas River on a grade so moderate that a oar can bo run from Portland by very little power. Verily, if Jackson and James Powell, who Bleep in the little cemetery just back of the old church, could come forth and survey the present surroundings they would be amazed. After leaving Gresham. McCarver starts a hot pace along the cycle path which follows one side ;of the Pleasant Home, or Mount Hood road, for two miles, and then turns off eastward on a plank road toward Bull Run Postofflce. Through prosperous farms, with waving fields of grain not yet golden, and big hay crops just now being .harvested on every' side, the Zig-Zag Cycle Club soon plunged down into the deep recesses of the Sandy canyon at the point where the Bull Run pipe-line is carried over on a steel-web bridge. Not even coaster brakes are sufficiently safe to permit wheeling down this rugged hill. Here the pipe takes an almost perpendicular plunge downward to the beautiful steel bridge over the fretted and somewhat discolored waters of the Sandy. Along side Is the steel structure which carries the county bridge resting on cylindrical pipes, far above the river. Quiet enough at this time of the year, the Sandy becomes a roaring, dangerous tor rent at times; hence both bridges were built high. Thousands of dollars had to be expended In building a revetment to prevent the rush of the waters from eat ing away the west side approaches of both structures. Standing on the County bridge and looking up and down the river one can count .thousands of railroad ties cut by the saw further up. strung along the edge of the river, or thrown up by the current upon the rocksv Several men are constantly engaged with long pike poles in pushing the stranded billets in to the current to resume their journey to Troutdale, where they are caught in a boom and afterwards pulled out by an endless chain. Hero they are loaded on flatcars and taken eastward to be used in repairing the roadbeds of rail roads as far as the Missouri River. The tie industry for the vast country ad jacent to the Sandy River has grown to great proportions. The Sandy River has become the channel and means for trans porting the ties to the shipping point at Troutdale on the O. B. & N. line, but not by any means the only way of taking the ties to Troutdale. Many thousands of ties are hauled there by teams, but all the mills situated on the Sandy River send their output down by j the river. The water is now at tho lowest stage, but when there is a rise the swift current sweeps all these strand ed ties from the rocks down to Trout dale. Each mill using the Sandy River for this purpose has its peculiar brand, so that when the ties reach Troutdale they can be easily identified and their owners given credit. Just how many ties are rafted down the Sandy is not known, but the contracts run up into the thousands. At the present price of 24 cents there is a great .'profit. There is no limit to the market Oregon 13 said to be furnishing more railway ties and piles as well than any other state In the Union. The mills on the Sandy av erage BOO to 1000 ties per day, and it can tie seen that there Is a great in come the year round from the industry. t costs much less to raft than haul the ties to Troutdale,' although a great many small mills remote from the river have to send their output by teams, thus lessening their profits materially. For the next few miles ;on to the Bull Run Postofflce, the club held their bi cycles most of the distance, although there were short stretches where they could be used. Bull Run Hotel was reached by 11 and a fine dinner was serv ed at 2. Although somewhat winded the Zig-Zag club decided to press on to the headworks of the Bull Run pipe-line afoot. After prayers by Gardner, Bible reading by Slngletray and a short ex hortation by Gelsler, the start was made. It was said to be five miles from Bull Run Postofflce, but every member of the party knew that was fiction, pure and simple, by the time they reached the headworks. The effort was well re paid. Bull Run Is the finest, clearest mountain stream In the world. Eastern men who have made tho trip to the headworks say they never saw Its equal In all their wanderings, and declare that Portland Is tho most fortunate and most favored city In the matter of water sup ply of any In the world. The stream goes roaring and tumbling over tho rocks at the bottom of a deep canyon, so clear that the sand can be seen glistening at the bottom, where the depth is over 15 feet Nothing can excel the beauty and grandeur of the gorge of Bull Run. It takes two hours to walk to the head works, provided one keeps on the move. This he seldom does. He must stop constantly to view the scenery. The light steel bridges of' the pipe-line spring across the canyon at freauent intervals. 50 and CO feet abovo the crystal torrent Deneatn. Then the pipe-line 'leaves the depths of the canyon and follows along the sides of an almost lnaccpssthlo rmr passage way having been riven out by giant powaer. it can be seen, every' mile of the way along Bull Run. why the cost of bringing in this tmtcr was so cxnenslve. and the only wonder i that It did not cost more. An eastern man from Michigan said: "Thi3 is the most 'wonderful achievement in the United States. No city In the Union nas sucn water, lou people hardly ap preciate your advantages In this re spect." At last the headworks of tho wonderful water system of Portland came In view and was finally reached. Keeper Spain, who has been In charge from the first, welcomed the visitors. snowed and explained everything. It can be seen that only a small portion of the water Is taken. Twenty-three million gallons dally are sent into Port land. The stream can stinnlv Tsnortnm gallons, and when the time comes that tni3 is not enough, a tunnel can be run through the mountain on the east and tap the Little Sandy, whereby this sun ply can be doubled. There need be no fear that there Is not sufficient watpr for Portland for the next 50 or more years. Provisions were made for the second pipe-line. The bridges were all built with this. In view, and nt nlnrp where passage had to be blasted out of tne rocKs, room was made for the sec ond, so that when It comes to putting It down the cost will bo comparatively small. Tho headworks aro in a narrow gorge. Just across from the small' building in which the water passes through the half dozen screens there was a slide last spring from the side of the mountains. For some time the keepers co.uld see that it would come down. Phelps sat with his camera Teady to take a snap-shot picture of the ava lanche. Presently as he was standing all ready, the side of the mountain,-representing probably 23,000 cubic yards of dirt, beside a forest of fir trees, began to slide. It suddenly looked as If the whole mountain was tumbling over on him and the headworks. He forgot all about the picture he was going to take, and sprinted across the open space up the side of the gorge. The mass came down, but did no harm. The most of the avalanche has been washed away by the rains and river. After spending an hour at the headworks the party re turned to Bull Run Postofflce for the night. From a point near tho hotel a clear view of Mount Hood 'was had, and several views were taken. Many tour ists come to this place, and make it their headquarters while they fish In tho Bull Run or wander around in the deep canyon. The club returned by way of the Sandy Postofflce and Mountain View. Tho road swings around to the south and crosses the Sandy over a high bridge. At this point the club met the charming mail carrier. Miss Nona Whatler. riding swift ly on her speedy black horse, through the lonely mountain road. She makes the round trip dally between the Sandy Postofflce and Bull Run and Almes. No matter how stormy and rough the weather Miss Whatler makes the trip, and there has never been a more trust worthy and thoroughly faithful mall carrlcr than she. It may bo remarked that she was a little startled at the ap pearance of some of the party, who might have been taken for Tracy Gard ner, especially. Every member of the club remarked on the attractive appear ance of the charming mail-carrier. Mc Carver lost his heart completely. At Mountain View, from which a wide view is had ot the gorge of the Sandy River, a. stay was made for an, hour. From this elevation the Sandy can be seen winding n't the bottom ofv the deep can yon. Also here and there the smoke from the sawmills could be seen ascend ing from among tho forest It will not be long before the district can be vis ited on an electric car, but the trip is well worth the effort on a bicycle. Campers by the hundred are sojourning In Eastern Multnomah and Clackamas on the many streams of water. One great advantage Is that at the camping places on the Sandy, Bull Run and Salm on Rivers all kinds of provisions can be had. and there are good , wayside hotels where wholesome meals are served. TO PLAY BALL TODAY. Tacoma Team Arrives in Portland to Open a Series of Six Games. The Tacoma baseball team, with their manager. Jay Andrews, arrived In Port land last evening to open a scries with Portland this afternoon. Several of the members of tho team, are somewhat crip pled, but otherwise the boys are In good shape. The Injured ones are First Base man Hutchinson and Pitcher Drlnkwater. Both men will be -b'e to play before (the series closes.
