Counted.
ALBANY, Or., May 20. (Special.)-About
7:20 this evening Mrs. Maxfielflfcfired six
shots at her son-in-law. Otto HalL Of
the eix shots fired by Mrs. Maxfield only
one, the first, hit Hall. The bullet struck
the top button of Hall's trousers, glanced
and struck a button on his undercloth
ing, glanced again and ellght'y wounded
Hall in the abdomen.
About three weeks ago Hall, who con
ducted a second-hand store In this city,
4oned with Charlotte, the 17-year-old
aaugnier oi -urs. juaxneia. aims tuuiiic
went to Vancouver, Wash., and were mar-
ried. At the time of the elopment it was
reported that both Mrs. Maxfield and her
daughter were after Hall's hand, but
the daughter outwlted her mother ana
captured HalL
Mrs. Maxfield sought the aid of -the po
lice and exerted every effort to capture
the runaway couple, but failed. Mrs. Max
field swore vengeance against Hall and
asserted openly that when she again met
Hall she would kill him. Last night she
nearly made good her word.
Hall and his bride returned to Albany on
last night's local from Portland, and were
met at the deppt by a Jarge crowd of
friends. Hall and his wife, accompanied
by a friend, started for the east end of
town. When at Second and Baker streets
they met Mrs. Maxfield, who urg. d her
daughter to leave Hall and come with her.
The girl refused, saying she had married
Hall and would stay with him. Mrs. Max
field then turned to Hall and asked him
if he remembered -that she had told him
If he married the girl shewould kill him.
Upon Hall answering in the affirmative
she drew a revolver from under her cloak,
placed it within three inches of Hall's ab
domen and fired.
Hall then started to run, and Mrs. Max
field emptied her revolver at his fleeing
form, but none of the shots took effect.
Hall ran a short distance and stopped,
exhausted from the effect of the shot. He
was taken to a surgeon who dressed his
wound.
The wound Is very painful, but not fatal.
Hall will be confined to his bed for some
time to come. Mrs. Maxfield was seized
by the friend accompanying Hall and his
wife and subsequently turned over to the
authorities and placed in jail to await
developments.
Hall is about 50 years of age. a widower,
and has 11 children by his former wife.
He has been a leading- figure this Win
ter Jn dances in the east end of town.
Hie conduct in eloping with the 17-year-old
girl has been the cause o severe cen
sure by people generally. In his present
trouble he finds little sympathy.
Mrs. Maxfield Is a hard-working widow,
about 45 years of age, and until recently
has been employed In the woolen mills
here. Hall claims that L. D. Curtis, a re
jected lover of the girl, persuaded Mrs.
Maxfield to do the shooting and furnished
her the revolver.
LAST DAY OF LAND SALE.
Rush a Salem Ilarpnln-Connter for
School Tracts.
SALEM. Or.. May 20. (Special.) Sales of
school land were made today to the
amount of 20,000 acres. This has been -the
largest day's business in several years,
and was due to the fact that the price of
school land will be doubled tomorrow
morning. This land, consisting of the 16th
and SSth sections In each township, has
been selling at $1.25 per acre. The last
Legislature passed an act doubling- the
price, and the act goes Into effect to
morrow. During the last SO days the sales
of land have averaged about 9000 acres a
day, so that the sales have amounted to
about 270.000 acres in the past month.
There can be no doubt that many buy
ers have been "stuck" and will be sorry
they bought, even at the low price stated.
On the ojher hand many K have secured
valuible lands, which they will later sell
at a fair profit.
An instance is related of a man who
bought, through himself and members of
his family, three sections of land in East
ern Oregon. He supposed it to be fair
grazing land. He learned, however, from
one who had been over the land, that it,
is a barren waste, impossible of being
made productive.
"Oh, well," he said, "that slmp!.y means
that I will find some one who is as big a
fool as I am and sell out to him at an
advance of 25 cents an acre."
Almost all the sales have been made to
persons who knew nothing of the land ex
cept what they could learn from a map
and the surveyor's field notes. Several
men have been making good money "lo
cating" purchasers on land concerning
which they could give no other informa
tion than that derived from these sources.
The state will probably profit by this
rush for land. Those who bought on the
"grab-bag" plan knew what they were
doing, and If they are disappointed they
will have no cause for grievance. Many
cf the purchasers will mako one or two
payments and then let their certificates
lapse, whereupon the state school fund
will have the payments and the state will
have the land. Doubtless much land has
been sold at J1.25 per acre which would
have brought doubie that sum five yearn
later, when the state has developed more
and the settled area has extended Into
the interior.

ASTORIA. On. May 20. (Special.) One
of the recent mysterious disappearances
of persons from this city was explained
this afternoon when George Coffenberry.
who was walking through the woods on
the hillside back of the city, found the
body of a man hanging by a strap to the

IN CANADIAN PACIFIC VAULTS.
Canndlan Land Grant Patents Rest
ed There for a Time.
VICTORLV, B. C, May 20. At the
Legislative inquiry regarding the Colum
bia & Western land grants today. Sic
Thomas Shaughnessy intimated in his evi
dence that the Canadian Pacific Railroad
might apply to the Dominion Government
for a bill setting aside the bill passed by
the British Columbia government cancel
ling the grant of the .South Ivootenay
lands to the subsidiary company of the
Canadian Pacific. If the British Columbia
government did not see Its duty and right
matters.
Cross-examined, Sir Thomas told of the
coming of Commissioner wells to Mont
real with the land grants and of his hav
ing borrowed them as a matter of po
litical expediency. Witness had .since
learned that the patenta for the grants
were in the Canadian Pacific vaults on the
night of November 20, the date of the
commissioners visit.
After the cancellation of the grants, on
Wells' return to Victoria, he regarded the
matter as one of the courts and not for
negotiation with the British Columbia
Government. He said it was the lnten
tlon to apply to the Ottawa government to
disallow the "repudiation act of 1903." He
also said that Mr. Taylor was not em
cloyed by the Canadian Pacific, nor had
he any authority to make proposals to-
Commissloner wells.
H. C. Oswald, secretary of the Columbia
& Western Railway, gave evidence to the
.effect that Wells brought him 25. drown
grants, which he put in the company's
safe. They were in possession of the
company 24 hours.

CHAIRMAN SALEM PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION
COMMITTEE.
JIDGE G
WILL WELCOME THE PRESIDENT TO OREGON.
GOVERNOR GEORGE
FOR STATE OF OREGON
(Continued from FIrit Page.)
fear car from which the President spoke
was In full view of the great crowd as
sembled to Join In the welcome. The
crowd was systematically policed, under
the direction of a special committee and
an extra force of officers, and arranged
so as to give the best possible chance to
hear the President's speech.
The place of honor near the train was
accorded to the school children, who
were out in a body, in charge of their
teachers and wearing American-flags. The
students of the Southern Oregon State
Normal School also had places of honor
with the school children. The space Just
west of the Presidential train was occu
pied by the Grand Army of the Republic
In uniform and marshaled by Commander
T. F. Hills. Company B, Oregon. National
Guard, of this city. In command of Cap
tain H. S. Evans, was allotted the space
Just east of the platform, the lines of the
two military organizations meeting n tha
center of the railroad track Immediately
to the rear of the Presidential platform.
There was a pretentious arch of wel
come through which the President's train
passed Just before coming to a stop. It
was located about 20 feet distant from
the rear Of the train, and was directly
before- President Roosevelt as he ad
dressed the multitude. By a happy coin
cidence, too, this arch was located within
a few feet of the spot where, with great
ceremony, in 18SS, the golden spike was
driven to commemorate the connection of
Oregon and California by rail. The arch
was built to span the main track and
with amplo room to clear trains at side
and top. standing 34 feet high. The sides
of the frame were covered with evergreens
interspersed with Oregon grape, while
there was a liberal intertwining of Amer
ican flags. Across the face of the arch
were marked In three-foot letters of Ore
gon graps blossoms the words, "Welcome
to Oregon." the effect being most pleas
ing, and the significance of the libera
use of the Oregon grape attracting the
attention Of the Presidential party. At
each upper corner of the arch, and also
wreathed in Oregon grape, were large
lithograph prints of the President, The
piece de resistance, however, of the whole
design was the surmounting Oregon moun
tain Hon. A eplendld specimen of thl3 ani
mal and a perfect model of the- taxider
mist's art was secured from P. W. Pau
sori, of this city, for the occasion, and
the Hon was as natural as life, looking
down stealthily from its high position, as
If about to bound upon Its prey. The
President's woll-known penchant for
hunting mountain Hons was In view when
the committee decided upon this feature
of the design for the arch. The arch of
welcome, with Its predominating wealth
of flags, and the rich green and gold col
ors of the Oregon graps, was something
to attract the attention. of even the Presi
dent of the United States, to whom it was
Intended to do honor.
The telegraph poles, the water anks

and the numerous buildings in the spa
clous depot grounds were all resplendent
in the red, white and blue of the myriads
of American flags, while the National col
ors that were everywhere upon the per
sons or In the hands of the people com
prising the multitude were a fit expres
sion of the patriotism of the Oregonlans
and the pride they felt In the arrival of
the Chief Executive of the Nation within
the borders of their state.
After the President finished speaking
and the applause had subsided, the band
struck up "America," and the great
throng of people, among-whom thousands
of copies of the words of this popular
patriotic hymn had been scattered, Joined
In the singing of It, and emphasized the
spirit of patriotism that was abroad.
For the special entertainment of the
people who came to Ashland from far and
wide to see and hear the President an in
teresting musical and literary programme
was arranged at the Chautauqua Taber
nacle at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The
programme included 10-mlnuto addresses
by President B. F. Mulkey, of the Nor
mal School; .Mayor W. S. Crowell, of Sled
ford, and Gus Newbury, of Jacksonville.
Musical and elocutionary selections were
also given. At 3 o'clock a baseball con
test between Ashland and Jacksonville
teams took place at the Athletic grounds.
The celebration of the visit of the Presi
dent was concluded with a grand ball at
the opera-house this evening, which was
conducted by the general committee of
arrangements. This, like the other fea
tures of the day, was a decided success,
and, like the other arrangements for the
day, had the hearty support of the people
of Ashland.
A field piece belonging to the State of
Oregon, and which is kept at Ashland in
the custody of Company B, Oregon Na
tlonal Guard, was stationed on the sum
mlt of Chautauqua Butte, a high point
overlooking the city and valley from the
southwest, and this echoed In no uncer
tain way the general welcome to President
Roosevelt as his train pulled Into the
Ashland yards. The gunner in charge of
the piece was Captain Frank Elliott,
veteran of the Civil War.
The general arrangements for the re
ception to the President and the celebra
tion at Ashland were In charge of a Joint
committee of the city and of the Board of
Trade. Tho chairman of this Joint com
mittee was G. C. Morris. The Board of
Trade part of the committee was made
up of Hon. F. V. Carter, L. L. Mulit, H
L. McWIlllams and F. D. Wagner, in ad
dition to Mr. Morris. The committee ap
pointed on behalf of tho city by Mayor
D. B. Provost was composed of E. A.
Sherwln. D. R. Mills, R. P. Nell, Dr. D.
S. Sanford and J. K. Van Sant. x
The day was a regular holiday, the
places of business generally closing.
BOISE MAYOR NOT SNUBBED,

statement published In a recent press dis
patch -saying that Mayor Alexander, of
Boise, Idaho, had been cut out of the list
of those who should ride In the President's

niS ADDRESS AT ASHLAND.
President Tells the Rcqttlftites
GOd Citizenship.
ASHLAND, Or.. May 30. (Staff Corre-
spandence.) The address of President
Roosevelt delivered in. this city was as
follows:
"My Friends and Fellow Citizens:
"It Is with a peculiar feeling of pleas
ure that I come to the State of Oregon.
It has never before been my good fortune
to visit It. and yet I know your people,
I feel like them, and I believe in them.
I know what you have done, I know the
standard of conduct you have set, and
it is the standard toward which I be
lieve all our people should strive. In
greeting all of you, I wish to say a spe
cial word to those whoso greetings ever
touches roe more than that of any other
men, to the men of the Grand Army, to
the men who in the Civil War dared
and did things, because In big times they
did things as. that placard over, there
says. It waa because of what they did
that we have a country now, that we
have a President that can come to the
Pacific Slope and be in his own country.
(Applause.)
"I also want tsy say a word of greet
ing to my own comrades, the men, some
of whom were in the little war of '9S.
On behalf of them. I say that we wished
at least to show that we had the spirit
in us which you had a right to expect
that the generation coming after you
would have. We had in? our war a trou
ble that did not touch the big war. In
our case, there was not enough war to
go around. It was a little task that was
set to us, relatively speaking, and we
did it, and now. as a consequence of do
ing it, this country's future has opened
-.1? .v -i tr" :"r?
.'. .. .v,.,r . .ui I
dent that whether we will or not, wo
,,. .,. -vTni . i
must play, as a Nation, a great part I
in the world. It is not open to us. my !
countrymen, to decide whether we will
play it. All we can decide is whether
we will play it well or ill, and such be
ing the case, I can guarantee what the
answer of America will be. (Applause.)
. "When I "come here to this state, found
ed in the early 40's by the men who
came across the plains with empire In
their heads; while I speak to you, I do
not say that I preach not the Ufe of
case, but the life of effort; not the life of
those who seek only safety, but the life
of those who exult In daring, if the time
calls for daring; who flinch from no risk;
from no effort. If only the effort and the
risk are to be -justified by the prize at the
end. When In 1S61 Abraham Lincoln
called you to battle there were men of
little faith who said tho days of great
ness of the country were ended, and that
ou could not again make the flajr whole.
but you, and those like you, did Just
what they 3ald was Impossible, to do.
and you did It because In life there were
things you prized more than life Itself.
because you had In you the capacity
to feel the life that generous souls feel
when called upon In the name of an
ideal.
'This country has risen because It has
had within It the men who dared r.nd
did. the men who dared to be great, tho
men to whom an obstacle was something
not be shirked, but to be conquered, and
believe we shall go forward to an ever-
increasing greatness In the future, be
cause I do not believe that the sons of
such sires will prove false to the mem
ories left them by their sires.
Qualities of Good Citizenship.
"In citizenship, I ask for the Qualities
shown not only by the men of the Civil"
War, but by the men who founded this
state, by the pioneers the men who came
across the desert and mountain paths, or
afterward up the seacoast the men who,
in this new world, as Lowell said, 'pitched
new states as Old World men pitched
tent3.' Would we be standing here today
if they had possessed merely the gentler,
milder, softer virtues? No! I believe in
the gentler, milder, softer virtues, and I
believe In having others as well. I be
Ueve, of course, In the man being decent,
cleanly In life, deed and thought; acting
squarely by his neighbors; being a good
husband, a good father, a decent man to
deal with, and careful to do his duty by
his fellows and by the state and the Na
tion. Of course, I believe in that first. If
a man has not goj. the fundamental base
of decency iri him. then the abler he Is
the worse he is; Just as In your days the
abler a man was, if he were a traitor, the
more dangerous he was.
But. in addition to that quality, we
need others. I do not care how patriotic
a man was In 1851, if he ran away you
could do nothing with him. So in citi
zenship, together with decency, we must
have courage, hardihood, fearlessness; the
power to be brave, the power to dare; tho
ability to face the world and overcome It.
We have "no use in our active hard Amer
ican life for the merely cloistered virtue
and stay-at-home, that bemoans that
things are not better without trying to
make them better.
"We need here the type of citizen who
goes out to conquer and to work in tha
actual world as It Is. We need high ideals.
but we need the power to make them ef
fective In practical fashion. While this
Nation has owed much to its Constitution,
while much can be done by the law, and
above all by the honest and fearless ad
ministration of. tho law, yet In the last
analysis the fate of the Nation will de
pend not upon the law, but upon the
character of the average citizen who
works under and through the law. If we
have got that type of character as typical
of our people, we shall succeed. We shall
succeed and win because we hav that
type of character in our average citizen
(Applause.) In the Civil var you needed
the training, you needed weapons,, the uni
form, but an of you know that In any
regiment now and then you would find a
man whom no training, no weapon could
make of any use, because If he did not
have the right stuff in him, you could not
get it out of him. It 13 so in citizenship.
Law can help us to use our strength to
the best advantage, but law cannot give
us that strength. Each man must in the
last analysis be the architect of his own
fate. Each man must depend upon the
sum of his own qualities for success. If
he cannot, you cannot make him success
ful. If he cannot work for himself, noth
ing can be done with him; and so it is
with the Nation. The greatest republics
in the past have spilt and foundered on
many a rock, but we shall, I am sure.
escape these rocks because we have a
type of citizenship' such as never before"
has been found in a Nation as great as
ours." (Cheers and applause.)
LARGE CROWD AT REDDING.

OREGON STATE CAPITOL,

hama. Modoc and Shasta Counties were
represented this morning in a. large crowd
which gathered at the depot- here and
listened to a ten-mlnuto speech by
President Roosevelt. The President
"brought down" the crowd twice, onca
when. In' enumerating the qualities of
good-citizenship, he concluded the list
with "common sense, common sense al
ways." The other time was when ho re
marked that In his mind if there was
anything worse than a hard heart it was
a soft head. The crowd laughed, and
concluded the ripple of mirth with cheers
for Roosevelt.
The President started his talk by tell
ing of entering this state from the south
and of leaving it by the north. The state,
he said, was equal in size to many- an
Old-World empire. He had enjoyed his
visit immensely. He spoke of the- won
derful diversity of California's resources.
He said he was convinced that San Fran
cisco, "in that wonderful harbor." would
do its full share in dominating the com
merce of the Nation. The speaker com
plimented California's men and women,
and brought forth cheers. He said the
physical advantages of a country would
be useless without good men. Other Na
tions had failed because the type of citi
zenship was different. The "President
dwelt at length on the qualities of good
citizenship. Among the gifts bestowed
to those on the Presidential trains were
specimens of copper, Shasta's greatest
product.
