0 THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXTAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1906. YELL0W1N MftKE-UP Orchard Is Expected Soon to Make a Confession. RAID MAY END HIS LIFE Caldwell Citizen Gives Xo Credence -to the Rumor That Rescue Will Be Attempted by tlic Idaho ''Mlncrs.jf'' s B0I3B, Idaho. Jan. 11. (Special.) The decision of the attorneys interested in the prosecution of the murder case against Harrv Orchard not to grant the request of Attorney Fred Miller, for tbe defense, to postpone the preliminary examination of the prisoner for a week, was received at Caldwell with evident satisfaction. The Prosecuting Attorney voices tho general opinion that nothing could be gained by a postponement of the case beyond Satur day. .Prosecutor Van Duyn was assured yes- tcrday that Chemist Jones would have his analysis of the suspicious powders and liquids ready by that time. There seems absolutely no doubt but there will be suf ficient evidence at hand to insure that Or chard will be bound over for trial in the District Court. It is reported that Imme diately after the preliminary examination. Orchard being bound over for trial, he will be brought to Boise to await the conven ing of the District Court, February 20. For this reason, if for "no othr, it is deemed advisable to have the preliminary examination as soon as possible, for the Jail facilities at Caldwell are not adequate. Said one of the prominent citizens of Caldwell: "I give no credence to the vague rumor that miners or any other body of men arc planning to raid the jail for the purpose of releasing the prisoner. Such an at tempt would end in defeat of the would be saviors. That will never bo attempted. It would be the worst move Orchard's friends could make. I would sooner think a plot of a different nature might be at tempted. "We have it from different officers and detectives, who have worked on the case and who claim to have studied Orchard's caie, that the prisoner has a Wreak of yellow in his make-up and that ho is very liable to break down at some stage of the game and make a full confession. Should the prisoner make such a con fession it is certain that he would impli cate others. It is bolioved that he had a strong backing In his undertaking. I should not wonder at all if an attempt was made to end Orchard'? life by some of the men who have been hack of him in- this affair for the purpose of pre venting him from 'squealing.' " :labor praises the dead Pocatcllo Trades Council Deplores the Murder of Stciincnbcrg;. BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 11. (Special.) Fol lowing the leafd of the Boise Trades Coun cil, the iimilar organization at Poca tollo has adopted similar resolutions on the assassination of ex-Governor Steuncn berg. the sentiment being In strong con trast with the .goneral, attitude -of --labor organizations at' .lie time of 4hc Coeur d'Alcne troubles. fFollowing arc para graphs from the Pocatcllo resolutions: "Whereas. In the death of the fearless and patriotic man -who feared not to do his duty in face -of cruel and bitter criti cism and who brought his state out from the depths of the throes of revolution and chaos by the force of his determin ation and sound mind, this state has lost a benefactor, the laboring man a stead fast friend and the cause of unionism a stanch and earnest coworker. "Resolved, That we deeply deplore the sudden taking off of this great and good man at a time when lite work for the good of all humanity was beginning to bear fruit, and whose life seemed to be just blossoming forth in all its goodness and friendship, and at a time when the fruits of the needs he had planted for the upbuilding of the state of his adop tion were ripening." Spoke 111 of c.-Govcrnor. LEWISTON. Jan. 3L (Special.) L. S. Darrah, a prominent resident of this sec tion, has been nMked by authorities to go to Calttwcll for the purpose of identifying Harry Orchard and testifying at the pre liminary examination relative to his con versation with Orchard just prior to the assassination of ex-Governor Steunen berg. Mr. Darrah will leave here In the morning for Caldwell. Last month Mr. Darrah met Orchard on a train near Hailey, and traveled some distance with him. In his conversation with Orchard, the latter expressed his ill-will for ex-Governor Steunenberg, as well as others who were prominent dur ing the Coeur d'Alenc strike days. When Darrah told Orchard his name. Orchard replied: "Yes, I know you; you signed the petition for Paul Corcoran's pardon." Mr. Darrah was formerly County Com missioner for the new Clearwater Coun ty, which county later was declared not to be legally created. JjEFT HIS SALARY BEHIND. Disappearance of T J. Cockrcll Can not Be Fathomed. ALBANY. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) No trace has been found of Thomas J. Cock rell, the Corvallls & Eastern station agent who has been missing since Tues day night, and the mystery surrounding Ills disappearance deepens under the light of Investigation. The auditor of the road came up from Astoria today, and, while no official statement has been issued from the railroad offices, it is un derstood that no shortage was discov ered in Cockrell's accounts with the com pany, but everything seems to be regular. In fact, it seems that the missing agent left a considerable amount of the rail road's money that he easily could have taken were he an embezzler, which dis proves the theory of dishonesty on his part. In addition he hau not drawn Ills last month's salary, several days over due. Friends of the missing man assert that there is something or somebody behind Cockrell's disappearance that will clear the young man when brought to light. In the meantime efforts to locate Cock rell arc fruitless; No one answering his description went south as a passenger, although a number of unknown men took the, blind -baggage route on tho night of the disappearance.

TUNNEL- IN THE CASCADES Survey of Railroad Conflicts With That of the Proposed Snoqualmie j Pass State Highway -in Kittitas, County. f OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 1L (Special.) The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul has offered to build about 3) miles of the Sno qualmie Pass state wagon road.

Moses M. Emerson, and the latter given the information on the authority of the chief engineer in charge of the railroad survey In Washington. The St. Paul has located Its line from Easton on almost the identical survey previously located for the state highway, and the railroad Is anxious to maintain its located line as now projected. The Information forwarded by Mr. Emerson is important in another partic ular, in that it indicates that the railroad company will tunnel the mountains in the vicinity of the Snoqualmie Pass. The exact manner In which the SL Paul would penetrate the Cascades has been a matter of speculation for some time. The road as now surveyed paral lels the Northern Pacific from -Easton to a point near the east entrance of the Stampede tunnel.

NITS HT S BUS Loop-Line Attorney Disputes Prosecutor Sparks7 Opinion. QUOTES THE STATE 1AW Commissioners Given the Power to Grant Right of Way for Electric Iiines' -Oyer thc County ' - . Roads. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jan. 1L (Spe cial.) The opinion of Prosecuting Attor ney Sparks, rendered yesterday to the Board of County Commissioners, in the matter of the application of the St. Helens Public Service Company, com monly known as Dr. Coe's loop line, for a franchise on the highways of Clark County, adverse to that project, created no little surprise here where the enter prise Is looked upon with a great deal of favor and the people generally sup posed there was plenty of authority in the board to grant such francnises. Attorney James Stapleton, for the loop line, today stated he was absent front the city yesterday and only returned to day, and while he knew Mr. Sparks was supposed to be looking the matter up he had no Idea that he would render an adverse opinion, as the Legislature set tled the question at Its session of 1903. Said Mr. Stapleton today: The "Legislature of 1903 passed an act, section 1 of which reads: "The legislative authority of the city or town having control ot any public street or road, or where such street or road is not within the limits of any Incorporated city or town, then the Board of County Commissioners of the county wherein such road or street Is situated, may grant authority for the construction, mainte nance and operation of electric railroads or railways, together with such poles, wires and other appurtenances, upon, over, along and across any such public street or road; and In granting such authority- the legislative authority of such city or town, or the Board of County Commlssioners. as the case may be. may prescribc the terms and conditions on which such electric railroads or railways and its appurtenances shall be construct ed, maintained and operated upon, over and along, and across such road or street, and the grade or elevation at which the same shall be constructed, maintained and operated." Mr. Stapleton further stated that this same statute provides for tho condem nation and acquisition by electric rail way companies of right of way through private property. He also stated that It was the purpose of the loop line com pany to construct its line with Proebstel and Hocklnson. It seems that the rival company, the Vancouver & Suburban Railway Company, also proposes to con struct its line running part way In the same direction, and if both roads ai constructed they would be competitive for that part. "It may be," said Attor ney Stapleton. "that there Is some indi rect connection between the Prosecuting Attorney's office and the last named road, as Mr. Sparks, brother of Attorney Sparks, is a shareholder In the subur ban company." SPOKANE MILLS SHUT DOWN" Chinese Boycott Has Caused Pulling Off In Demand. SPOKANE. Wash.. Jan. 11. (Special.) The boycott of American goods In China has caused the flour mills in Spokane to make a temporary shutdown. Today not a wheel turned In cither of the three big mills here, which ordinarily do a large export business. The Centennial, the Spokane Flouring Mills and the Echo mill of the Portland Flouring Mills Com pany were idle as far as grinding was concerned, "though most of the men were employed In general cleanlng-up work. There are no orders for Washington Hour now coming In from China, which usually takes a large part of the output of these mills. The local and domestic orders have been filled. The managers of the Spokane flour mills and the Portland mills frankly say that the shut-down Is due to the Chinese boycott. The Centennial Mills people, in the absence of the manager, Sam Glosgow. would not make a state ment about the matter, although they admitted that the mills were not run "nlng. L. C. Lens, of the Spokane Flour Mills, said: "I venture to say that not over a dozen mills are running In both Washington and Oregon. The others are closed on ac count of the closing of the Chinese markets. Ono-fourth of our product has heretofore been sent to China. China has been the great market for our low grade flour."

Mr. Jones also sent the committee a telegram A DIFFERENCE IN LUNGS. In the Edinburgh Uni versity three human lungs lie side by side. One is of an Eskimo and is 'snow white. In life, this would be ruddy with rich blood. Another is that of a coal-miner and is black. The other is of a town dweller and is a dirty slate gray, as are the lungs of most city residents. That's why consumption thnves in cities. One reason why Scott's Emulsion does so much to keep down consumption is because jt helps to keep, the lungs clean and supplies them with rich, red blood. It makes the lungs germ-resisting. If the body is run down and health is vat a low ebb Scott's Emulsion will build it up quickly and per manently. SCOTT & SOWNC Paul Stmt Xur Yodu today congratulating it on the settlement of the water rights. Court-Martial Findings Approved. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.)

Balmer. the rose and carnation grower, of Cle Elum. made the statement that he never used a fertilizer and all that are on the market are humbugs. He said the only kind to use is made from manure and decomposed vegetable matter. These re marks called forth some sharp remarks from the visitors from other parts of the state, many of them agreeing with Mr. Balmer. The extemporaneous talk of W. H. Paul hamus, of Puyallup. on the subject. "The Commercial Side of Fruitgrowing." creat ed more Interest than anything yet dis cussed at the meeting.

I am a farmer and lime-burner and I heartily rec ommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets. From Mrs. M. 1C. West, Preston. Minn.. I have recelvud surprisingly good effects from using Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. I gave one-half of my last box to a friend who also suf fered from Indigestion and she had the same good results. From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston. Cadil lac, Mich.: I have been taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I am very much better, and feel very grateful for tnei great benefit I have received In so short a time. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a cer tain cure for all forms of indigestion. They are not claimed to be a cure-all. but are prepared for stomueh troubles only, and physicians and druggists everywhere recommend them to ail persons suffering from nervous dys pepsiaj sour or acid stomach, heart burn, bloating or wind on stomach and similar disorders. Tired Nervous When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vi tality is low your supply o nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power, The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and in stead of throwing off the im purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that 'nourishes itifcl strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to a recent attack of typhoid fever, but after her recovery from the fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceed ingly nervous when tho least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a good night's rest. She also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles' Nervine was recom mended by a friend. After the first three doses she had a good night's rest, and at the end of the first week's treatment she. was wonderfully Im proved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure."
