Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 190S. J. REPORT IS FILED and could not be shakened by the rigid cross-examination to which she was subjected by J. A. Logan, attorney for Evans. Her story was a shocking re cital. A diary kept by Evans, showing his unatural relations with his daugh ter, was submitted by the prosecution. No testimony was submitted by the at torney for defense. Mrs. Wade is 26 years old and has two children. Her husband left her some time ago. Evans could not give bail and was locked up. BREAK ALL RECORDS a point well past the 3,000,000 figure. They are the French bark Marthe Roux and the British ship Windsor Park. Shipping - from Portland has, not suffered as much this season as last from car shortage, coal famine, etc. The rail road companies have supplied all the grain possible and exporters have had no cause to complain. In -the harbor at the present time there is a large num ber of vessels and there is sufficient wheat in sight to warrant quick dis patch of every one of them. A number of vessels were diverted to Puget Sound, which were on the en route list for Portland.- This was due to the crowded condition of the local harbor. In a large measure this detracted from the outward records of Portland and added to those of the Sound. December Exports of Wheat Set a New Mark. Oregon Railroad Commission Makes Its First Annual Statement. PIONEER WOMAN EXPIRES Mrs. A. Scherneckan, Aged 68, Dies From Heart Trouble.

KUA III . llKfslil! &Z HAS NO RECOMMENDATIONS Resolves to Withhold Suggestions Until legislative Year Interest ing Statistics As to Construc tion and Operation Given. Fifty-five and one-half miles of new railroad was built in Oregon during the year closing last night. The longest piece of new track is 1124 miles, built by tho Malheur Valley Railway Company from Malheur to Vale. The remainder of the new construction consists of small pieces of track, part of which was built by logging roads. The total railway mileage in the state Is now 2122.31 miles. These figures are given In the first an nual report of the Railroad .Commission of Oregon to the Governor. The report recounts the work of the organization during the past year, telling the com plaints filed against the railroads of the state and the work accomplished in bettering conditions on the railroads of Oregon during fte year. No recommendations are made in the report, the Commission deeming it best to withhold recommendations until the next legislative year. The report says in this connection: "In view of the fact that there will be no regular session of the Legislative As sembly for more than a year, and also that the Railroad Commission act has been in effect a comparatively short time, we think it advisable not to make any recommendations as to amendment of the railroad laws of the state until our next annual report." However, under the heading of depots, the report has the following to say: "We wish to call especial attention to the generally run-down and inferior con dition of the depot buildings at most .of the Important stations in this state. The contrast between the fine, new depots erected by the Oregon Short Line Rail road Company, at Nampa, Caldwell, Ontario, Payette and Weiser and the depots at stations of similar importance on other lines in the state is almost P Of "railroad accidents during the year he report discloses that this state has had its share. Eleven collisions, seven derailments and 90 accidents from other (causes are reported, resulting in the killing of 48 people, of whom only two were Paengers, and the serious Injury of 100 others. Nine persons were killed who walked on railroad tracks and there were nine more fatalities falling from trains and cars. The report says: 1 "Careful analysis shows that the great majority of all the casualties scheduled were due directly to the want of care Tn the part of the person injured or of sornVraflroldemploy5. .The 11 co. resulting in seven deaths and 18 injuries.

MAKE CHEAT FARES TO SALEM New Electric Line Gives Commuters Families a -Cent Kate. Complete passenger tariffs have been made over the Oregon Electric Rail way, the new interurban line between Portland and Salem. Attractive rates for commuters have been established that will make a fare of $1 lft1een the two points. This ticket will be family one, good for a certain number of rides and may be used by any mem ber of a family within 90 days pro viding a 2-cent fare for the 60-mile ride Fare between other points will be provided on a corresponding basis. Week-end tickets will also be provided, good going Saturday night and return ing Monday to any point on the line on a 2-cent basis. Thousand-mile mileage books will be sold, good for one year, on a 24-cent a mile basis. One-way rates between Portland and Tlgardvllle will be 25 cents, to Tuala tin 36 cents. West Woodburn f 1. Salem 11.50. Round-trip tickets to Tigard ville will be 45 cents, to Tualatin 6o rents, West Woodburn $1.90, Salem $3 25. The new passenger rates will be effective today. It is General Man ager Talbofs plan to maintain an elas tic schedule of rates so that when the line Is put into full operation rates may be adjusted as the traffic demands. The rates all along the line are con siderably less than those maintained by the Southern Pacific. Ten trains a day in each direction will be operated over the new line as soon as the road Is down to a good running basis. Part of these trains will be limited and the others local. New Trade Territory Opens Today. An entirely new trade territory will be opened today to Portland business in terests by the putting into effect of a new tariff from Portland stations to points on the Spokane International Rail way, the new road from Spokane. Wash., to Yahk, B. C where it connects with the main line of .ue Canadian Pacific Railway. This is a general class and commodity tariff naming new rates be tween Portland, East Portland, Albina and 8t. John and the Spokane Interna tional territory, via the O. R. & N. The basis of rates is lower than applies to that territory from Puget Sound and of fers an attractive field for Portland job bers. It is expected that Portland in terests will do a fine business In this new field. One of Oregon's pioneer women was added to the roll of the absent yester day through the death of Mrs. A. Scherneckan at St. Vincent's Hospital, where she had been ill for the past month with heart trouble.- Of late years Mrs. Scherneckan was a resident of Astoria with her husband, who sur vives her, and they were well known throughout the state, the town of Shaniko, in Wasco County, having been named after this family.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK Work has been man's lot since the creation, but a day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why Is It. then, . you ask. that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency Is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and mora eepeclally upon the kidneys, which hare thm work of filtering; the blood free of waste and poison. - The heavy tsx of overwork ths strain upon the back that is so oom-y! mon to many trades and occupations, is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work, and there is a doa ble danger to health. Ths poisonous matter-collects In the system, and ths kidneys themselves begin to break down. Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble In the kidneys. An inflam mation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent. Too much or too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secretions; any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of a sandy sediment, proves a disordered condition of the kidneys, that needs quick attention. If your work seems hard for you, if yon have a lame, weak or aching back. If you seem tired and listless, and seem to be running down without apparent cause, begin at once with Doafi's Kidney Pills, the great kidney remedy that has cured so many of your neighbors. It has given thousands of working men and women strong, sound backs for their dally work. Portland Proof. G. H. Bpringmeyer, residing at 101 First street, says: "Exposure to rough weather and the constant Jarring of th wagon while T was riding brought on kidney trouble. My back ached almost constantly and the muscles controlling the bladder appeared weak and their action far too frequent. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I got a box. The pain in my back was relieved and the kidney secretions became normal. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills brought about this result, and It i is with pleasure that I recommend this effective preparation to others." ,-p"'lllll''"'TOinw!M Iffl sPutaianBootsl j VS! rLpjjOTfiv "Go on like a Glove PUTMAN BOOTS are the oldest and best known lino of. boots on the market.
