Passengers Slightly Shaken.
PENDLETON, Or.. March 4. (Special.)
The O. R. & N. passenger train eastbound
from Portland and due to arrive here at
2:55 this morning-, but running 40 minutes
late, was wrecked a few minutes after 3
o'clock at the Junction of the Pilot Rock
branch with the main line, four miles
west of Pendleton.
The train was running at a good rate
of speed on a level piece of road, with an
almost straight track, when the smaller
pony' trucks of the engine jumped the
tracks. Engineer George Hillman immedi
atey closed his throttle and threw on
the air brakes, but; being less than 100
feet from the branch junction, the mo
mentum of the train carried it that dis
tance and the derailed trucks, striking the
frog at the, switch, caused the pile-up.
Engine, Leaves the Track.
The monster - engine was hurled clear
of the track and landed on Ita side to the
right of the rails, with the teirder squarely
across the track. The first baggage-car
was thrown on the other side of the track
and down the embankment, but remained
upright and was not badly damaged. The
second baggage-car was derailed, but re
mained upright on the roadbed.
The engineer was thrown from his cab,
and Fireman Dave Grabill, of La CSande,
was pinned in the wreckage, from which
he was soon released by the other mem
bers of the train crew. His back was se
verely wrenched, but it is not believed his
injuries will prove fatal. He is now at
St. Anthony's Hospital, in this city.
No others of the train crew were in
jured, and many of the passengers who
were asleep did not know of the accident
until awakened by the porter.
Real Cause of Wreck a Mystery.
The first news of the wreck was brought
to this city by Conductor Thomas Nestor,
who walked the four miles intervening.
' A wrecking train was sent over from La
Grande and the track was. cleared by 4
o'clock this afternoon. The Portlaud local
left by way of Walla Walla; this morn
ing, while the westbound No 1 was held
here until the track was cleared. While
the wreck was caused -by the derailment
of the pony trucks, the cause of fhe first
derailment is a mystery. -
DUNBAR GOT MR $96,000
PROSECVTIOX SHOWS SOURCE
FEES CAME FROM.
Treasurer Steel AVU1 TestUy-Money
Was Xot Turned Over to Stale.
Defense Claims the Funds.
SALEM. Or.. March 4. (Special.) The
testimony of Secretary of State Benson
today disclosed numerous sources of fees
collected by ex-Secretary of State Dun
bar, in addition to the amounts shown
yesterday. As near as these- fees cou?d
be computed from the evidence, it -pears
that the items mentioned today
wirt aggregate about 36O.O0O. The testi
mony yesterday covered items amounting
to about 36.000, making a total of about
ji)6.000 already shown as having been
collected by Mr. Dunbar during his eight
years as Secretary.
Tomorrow State Treasurer Steel will be
called to testify that these fees were not
paid into the State Treasury.
- The chief event today was the in
troduction of a letter' from Mr. Dunbar
to Governor Chamberlain, answering an
inquiry as to the amount of fees col
lected by him as Soretary. The amount
was praeed--at Ji:.6CO to J13.80O a year. The
letter was written in 1904. just before the
legislative session of 1905, and was in
answer to a letter from the Governor
asking for information on the subject.
The letter was produced by W. N.
Gatens.1 private secretary to the Gov
ernor, in response to a subpena. - The
first paragraph of Dunbar's letter is ail
that bears directly on the subject. It
is as follows:
In response to the request contained in
your letter of the 8th Inst.. I have to In
form you that the gross amount collected
under th several &tatutes enumerated in
my letter 'to you under date or November
25. tor the yar ending September 30, 1904.
wa between 12.(iOO and S13.600. .The
exact amount cannot be stated for' the
reason that no official record of collections
Is kept or required to be "kept. The above
is also the approximate amount - for the
previous yeAr.
The remainder of the letter Mr. Dunbar
ovoted-to a statement of the many du
ties the Legislature has from time to
time imposed . upon the Secretary of
State.1 in addition to those which existed
at the time of the adoption of the Con
stitution.. Mr. Dunbar discussed the"
matters upon the assumption that t
Governor contemplated - presenting tiie
subject in his message to the Legisla
ture, and the Secretary expressed the de
sire that the facts be stated fairly.
Another development at today's pro
ceedings was the' testimony of S. A. Ko
zer. auditing clerk in Secretary Dunbar's
office, who. testified that he kept a mem
orandum book showing ' the fees col
lected by the Secretary, this book being
kept at Dunbar's direction. It was turned
over to Mr. Dunbar and Mr. Kozer does
not know where it is now. Attorney Mc
Mahan made a demand upon the attor
neys for Dunbar that the book be pro
duced for introduction in evidence.

M'MTNXVILLE, Or., " March 4. (Spe-
cial.) Pursuant to call the Republican
County Convention met here today for
the purpose of according Statement No. 1
a thorough discission. The convention
was soon organized, and after the various
committees had reported the primary
purpose of the meeting was taken in
hand. A committee of five subnttted a
set of resolutions which were adopted
without change, as follows:
Wherwas. The Republican party bnm not
only been a party of progress in the pact, but
is one at the present time, in both the execu
tive and legislative branches of our Govern
ment; a-nd
Wherea. A majority of the voters of the
state have already declared, or soon will de
clare themselves aa Republicans by means of
registration, thus announcing themselves as
favoring a Republican President and a Re
publican Congress: therefore be It
Resolved. That- we not only indorse ana
commend the acts of our present Chief Ex
ecutive of the Nation. Theodore Roosevelt,
and his policies, and also the Congress that
has co ably seconded his efforts, but that
we demand a continuance of those policies
and such support by the election of men
who will carry them out. To that end we
instruct our legislative candidates to sup
port the Republican choice for Senator. Be
It further
Resolved, That we favor the direct primary
law. without change, unless it be to make It
more effective in determining the will of
the people.
Resolved, further. That we heartily favor the
plan of organising Republican clubs in each
of the precincts of the county an- recommend
that in each precinct a Republican club be
organised for the purpose of promoting the
interests of the Republican party.
The matter of adopting or rejecting thv
clause referring . to the support of th
Republican choice for Senator caused a
great deal of discussion, partly becausfc
of a wrong impression that the elimina
tion of Statement No. 1 would take from
the people their right to have a voice
in the selection of the United States
Senator through their members of the
Legislature. The vote in favor of the
adoption of the resolutions was 173 to 25
against. Three precincts were not rep
resented in the convention, and some
others only partially. No harsh feelings
were engendered, and the convention ad
journed as harmoniously as it had con
vened.

THE laborer uses

sand goes through

thrown away.
The intestine is a

USEFUL HINTS TO HOUSE
KEEPERS. A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lac ap
plied over old or new linoleum or oil
cloth will double its life, by preserving
the original coat of varnish, which
would otherwise soon be washed or
worn off.
WEATHER-BEATEN front doors
are revived and beautified when coat
ed with Jap-a-lac, and "newness fol
lows the brush." It is best to use the
color nearest that of the old finish.
. WINDOW AND DOOR screens
should be coated with Jap-a-lac each
Spring, using the brilliant Black on
the wire, and the Mahogany, Oak,
Cherry or Walnut on the frames. It
gives them new life and the wire cloth
Is protected from rust.
PORCH FURNITURE should be
protected and beautified each Spring
with Jap-a-lac. It is best to use tho
color of the old finish; but if you wish
to change the color, use Red or Green
Jap-a-lac.
WICKER FURNITURE coated with
Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite
Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac Jooks
better than new.
WATER PIPES, furnace fronts, ra
diators, hot-water tanks and iron
fences are' preserved and beautified
with the use of Jap-a-lac. Uso the
Gold, Aluminum, Dead Black or Bril
liant Black.
PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra,
gas fixtures, lamps, etc., given a coat
of Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black
Jap-a-lac are renewed almost beyond
belief; the Dead Black produces
that beautiful wrought-iron effect
OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages,
wagons, agricultural implements, eto.,
Jap-a-lac-ed with either Brilliant
Black, Red, Green or Empire Blue,
look 100 per cent better and are given
new life. The cost is nominal, and
the work can be done by an inexperi
enced person.
JAP-A-LAC is a household neces
sity, and can be used in a hundred
and one ways, from "cellar to garret;"
and is especially adapted for finishing
old or new floors and woodwork. Ask
your paint dealer.
