( Special.) The entire time wa occupied today with the direct testimony of Will H. Thompson as to the peculiarities of "nis inn r"i. ..t a- Timffliison. who stands charfted with the murder of Judge I Georse Meade Emory. Mr. Thompson is still on the stand. Today, arter re citing in all essential details the story he told in his opening statement to the Jury last Friday, he Identified photo Rraphs taken by Chester, and tomor row will testify that the defendant is the author of many manuscripts found In his room after his arrest. The in troduction of both pictures and verses are to show the gloomy tendency of the young man's mind. The photographs are all very good, and In many yonns Thompson has se cured most striking light effects, but tho very subjects themselves seem to indicate a state of mental depression. They were taken In the soraberness of the late twilight and depict mountains and water Just as the darkness falls. There are lone figures, lone huts, lone Bhips standing out in the bay. and In somo there Is only Nature unrelieved. Mr. Morris, for the defense, contends that the writings of Chester Thompson will further accentuate a hopelessness of spirit. Mr. Thompson will probably remain under direct examination until noon tomorrow. The state so far has interposed few objections, and the wit ness has been given the widest lati tude. Mr. Thompson was permitted by the state to indicate his sentiments and motives in his conversations with lis son. both before and after the shoot ing of Judge Emory. The Objections of the prosecution only came when the witness Inadvertently began tho rela tion of an Incident or conversation to which the defendant was not a party.. General Vance, for the state, will be gin the cross-examination tomorrow afternoon, and this will probably last unt'l Friday some time. Mr. Thompson today told his story with much more composure, but none the loss effectively, than he did on the opening day. The boy's vagaries were carefully described, his night wander ings and lonely vigils both by the side of Lake Washington and before the former homo of Miss Charlotte Whit tlesey, were again gone over In mi nutest detail. It wan onlv when Mr. Thompson told of telling Chester that his mother was dying-, and the boy's apparent lack of interest, that the father exhibited any emotion. Even that was momentary, and swiftly the, witness regained his composure. While extremely nervous, Mr. Thompson had himself well In band throughout the trying ordeal, STRUGGLE FOR 'VSIOS GAP Northern Pacific Seeks to Block the Way of Is'orth Coast Road, NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Dec. 19. (Special.l The Northern Pacific Is fight ing for every Inch of ground wanted by the North Coast, which is the western terminal branch of the Canadian Pa cific and the Northwestern, for a right of way. Today the scene shifted from the strip of ground south of this city to Union Gap. At the gap there are four parties in the suit. North Coast, North ern Pacific. Yakima County and United States Government. For the tirst time the Northern P'aclflc today filed an answer to the petition of the North Coast, which was filed last July, fn this answer the Northern Pa cillc takes advantage of every techni cality for delaying the case. The point at issue at the gap is the county road. The North Coast wants to move this road, building a new one and construct Its line through the gap. That part of the road which the North Coast desires happens to be on the reservation, but is owned by the county. The Northern Pacific contends that the county cannot be heard on account of lack of proper summons, but the court decided otherwise; the Northern Pacific also contended that the action could not go on without the Government's jjroper ncpnt appearing, but the court decided otherwise, on account of Superintendent I.vncli bfins present. The Northern Pa cltiu alleges that It needs the 400 feet of rislt of way It has through Union Gap for its own tracks and the proper hand ling of Its business. It contends there is enough room for the North Coast to build through the gap, when it at the same time is fighting the extension of the North Coast. The width of the gap Is not over 800 feet. The Yakima River and two county roads take up 400 feet of this and the Northern Pacific right of way 400. The cases will be in the court for the rest of the week and it will be after Christmas before the arguments are taken up. The Northern Pacific officials here deny mat tney are attempting to prevent the building of the North Coast in the Yakima alley, although it Is fighting in the courts against that company acquiring lights of way across its property not used for railway purposes, and it owns thousands of acres of land 1n the lower valley. If the Northern Pacific loses Its case In Yakima it will carry it up to the supreme court. . TUSSLES WITH A RVFFIAX. Tacoma Young Woman Escapes With Torn Clothing. TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 19. (Special.)

Ha intends at that time to go ELECTRIC LINE TD ALBANY VISIT OF C. F. SWIGEKT REVIVES THE RUMOR. President of Oregon Electric Says Company Would Like to Estend Its Road to Linn's CapltaL ALBANY, Or., Doc. 19. (Siwcial.) The Oregon Electric Company, successor to he Willamette valley Traction company and backed by the same capital, is listed to build an electric line up the valley to Albany and shorten tha distanoe be tween Albany and Portland to 75 miles. C. F, Swlgert, of Portland, president of the company, spent today looking over he situation here. Mr. Swigert refused to make a definite statement at this time, but admitted that his company would like to extend Its Portland-Salem line to Albany. Some time ago the Albany street rail way franchise was purchased by Portland people and It was understood at that time that the Willamette Valley Traction people were the purchasers. Mr. Swig ert denies this and says it Is an effort to block his road. The fact remains, however that the engineer who looked over the field bofore the street railway sale is engineer of the Oregon Electrle Company. Whoever will build an electric road from A.lbany to Portland will b welcomed by business and farming inter ests of Linn County. XO DECK LOADS IN WINTER. Puget Sound Lumber Carriers Find Practice Is Too Dangerous. SHATTLB. Wash.. Dec. 19. (Special.) The first vessel in years to sail from Pu get Sound lumber-laden for California, but without a deckload. will put to sea from Blaine next week. This is the Guy C. Goss a comparatively new and stanch boat, but her owners refuse to accept the risk of loss in the bitter Winter weather. None'of. the vessels owned by the North western Steamship Company or the Northwestern Fisheries Company, will carry deckloads during the Winter months hereafter. Other companies are prepar ing to fallow this principle. The tormn beginning December jfi either wrecked or seriously damaged five lumhef-carrlers, and shipping men have agreed the deck- loads strained the vessele so that they could not weather the storms. Accepting a lesosn from this month's disasters, the new plan was adopted. ALBANY, Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.) At least one county fight will be kept out of the Legislature if the efforts of the com mercial bodies of Linn and Lane Counties, juot begun, reach fruition. Since 1887 there has been contention between the people of Linn and Lane Counties as to the proper location of the line dividing one county from the other. At the ses sion of the Legislature in 18S7 a bill was passed fixing the line along the south of township Is south, instead of along the southern line of the row of townships at 15 south. This placed in Lane County a full row of townships on which are lo cated the finest timber and mines in the section. At the time the division line between the two counties was moved north six miles It was changed at the petition of a number of people residing in the Mohawk Valley, tributary to Eugene, who were greatly inconvenienced by the long . trip to Albany to pay taxes, etc. But instead of placing a couple of townships In Lane County, as intended In the petition, the line was made to run straight across to the eastward, giving to Lane valuable territory which is naturally tributary to Linn. Linn County people do hot ask that the entire section be returned to Linn County, nor that all except the Mohawk Valley be returned. The only request Is that the line be made to run through about the center of the row of townships 15 south, making the dividing line the backbone of the ridge of mountains. Thus that side of the watershed naturally running to Linn County will be made a part of Linn and the other side given to Lane. As 'it Is now, some of the residents of the section have to go to Eugene by way of Albany to transact county business, and others who have to cross the mountains to vote are practically disfranchised. With a view to keeping this county di vision fight away from the Legislature, where matters of much more importance generally are coming up for consideration, the Alco Commercial Club, of Albany, re cently corresponded with the Eucene Commercial Club to see If a joint meeting of representatives of the two organisa tions could be arranged for a full discus sion before time for the Legislature to convene. Last night the Albany organi zation met In the Alco Club parlors and appointed as Linn County's representa tives at the joint meeting which will be held in Eugene soon: Senator Frank J. Miller and Hon. J. K. Weatherford, of Albany, A. A. Tusslng, of Brownsville, and Representative F. M. Brown, of Brownsville. This meeting will ha held goon, and; If possible an agreed bill will be drawn up for passage without opposition at the coming session of the Legislature, thus removing one - of the nasty local fights from that body and assisting to clear the floor for more important legislation on its merits, without trading of votes to secure passage of local measures. At the Alco Club meeting it was also decided that another shippers' congress for discussion of the car shortage and pos sible remedies therefore should be held be fore the Legislature convenes, and the president was authorized to provide for uie meeting in AiDany and Issue an invi tation to the people of Oregon Interested in remedial legislation along this line to meet witn Linn County citizens for final discussion of proposed remedies. ine meeting will be called for the first week in January, a weak before tha Leg islature will convene, and at this meeting the final touches will be given to remedial bills now being drafted for Introduction in the Legislature. With interest at flood iiae, one to loss caused by the impossi bility of getting products to market, the coming meeting should be the most large ly attended that, has yet been held. the officers of the club were also an. thorized to memorialize the Oregon dele gation in Congress for a Federal Post- office building for Albany. This Is the be ginning of a movement for a building that una men wantea in Albany for soma time. An effort will be made to secure the ap propriation for such a building at this session of Congress. SALOONS ARE VOTED DOWN Cottage Grove People Satisfied With "Dry" Conditions. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Dec. 19. (Spe cial. Another city election was held here yesterday to vote on the question of authorising the City Council to grant license for reopening saloons. The elec tion resulted in 31 votes majority against saloons. There Is much Indignation against the City Council trying to force the saloons on the people, when Lane County went dry last June election. It is being urged that suit be brought against the Councilm.cn to make them pay for the expense the city was put to on account of the two elections. The town is running better than I! did be(ore. Business people say their business is nearly 60 per cent better than St was when the saloons were running. Fines Must Go Into Treasury. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.) Attorney-General Crawford has held In an opinion given today that the game warden has no authority to expend any part of the fines collected for violations of the hunters' license law. An effort was made to use part of the fines to pay the costs of prosecution and part to reward in- formers, but the Attorney-General says that the law clearly requires the fine to be turned Into the state treasury. Section 2050 of the code, authorizing the payment of part of certain fines to informers, was enacted in 1901, but the hunters' license law, enacted in 1903. is not affected thereby because it Is a later act. Valley Creameries Are Absorbed. SALEM. Or., Dec. 19. (Special.) The Commercial Creamery In this city and the creamery at Lyons, Linn County, have been absorbed by the T. S. Town- send Company, of Portland, and will hereafter be operated as a part of that system. Beware of frequent Colds.

BILL TO PROTECT INVESTORS Prepared by Mining Congress to Be Presented to the Legislature. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.)-A bill prepared by the American Mining Con gress for the prevention of fraud upon Investors in mining stocks, will be Intro duced in the next Legislature and its en actment urged. Secretary James F. Cal breath. in circulating copies of the pro posed law, says: Mining is as rafa and as legitimate a busi ness as th manufacture of boots and shoes, when skill and capital ax applied to Its op eration, and many times more profitable. The commerce of the country demands a higher de- velopment of Western mineral resouroca. The idle capital of the country Is anxious to reap the high profits of mining but It Is deterred by the sharks who use the legitimately glit tering promises of mining pTonts as a means by which to sail worthless mining stock. The American Mining Congrats, through Its Information bureau and other meanst, is en deavoring to indues Increased Investments in mining by the protection of investors, to the end that the latent mineral resources of the West may be developed. One of the means proposed la through the enactment and opera tion of the law herewith proposed.
