ORCHARD TO LIVE
AGAINST HIS WILL
Idaho Board of Pardons Com
mutes Death Sentence to .
Life Imprisonment.
WANTS TO EXPIATE CRIMES
Protests Against Efforts to Have
Penalty Set Aside Clemency
Re com mended by Judge in
Passing Sentence.
BOISE, Idaho, July 1 Harry Or
chard's desire to hang was frustrated
by the Idaho Board of Pardons shortly
before noon. It decided that Steunen
berjr's assassin should spend the rest of
his days in the penitentiary, instead of
going to the scaffold.
The board is said to have been in
fluenced by three motves: The fullness
of Orchard's confession and the conse
quences of his alleged expose, the rec
ommendation of Judge Wood, who in
passing sentence of execution said Or
chard certainly should not pay the ex
treme penalty in vietl of the disclosures
he had made; and the possibility of his
being useful at future trials in connec
tion with former Colorado outrages.
The Pardon Board consists of Gov
ernor Gooding. Secretary of State Lans
lon and Attorney-General Guheen.
Frank Wyman, appointed by the court
to represent Orchard, appeared before
the board and presented a formal ar
gument in behalf of his client, basing
his plea solely on the legal status of
the case, and maintaining, as was held
by Judge Wood in recommending clem
ency, that in making Orchard a state's
witness, the state obligated itself to
extend clemency to him In return. No
one appeared to oppose the proposed
commutation, and by the unanimous
vote of the board clemency was ex
tended. Orchard "Wants to Be Hanged.
Orchard to the last was opposed to
having the sentence of the court inter
fered with. Only yesterday he ex
pressed to his attorney the hope that
efforts to save him from the gallows
would fail.
Orchard was arrested two days after
the assassination of ex-Governor
Steunenberg at Caldwell. Idaho, Decem
ber 30, 1905, and a few weeks later,
While confined in the Idaho penitentiary
confessed his guilt to James McPar
land, of the Pinkerton detective agency,
at the same time asserting that he was
employed to commit the crime by offi
cers of the Western Federation of Min
ers. As a result of his confession,
Charles H. Moyer, president; William
I. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
George Pettibone, were arrested in
1'onver and brought to Idaho to answer
the charge of murder. John Simpkins,
another member of the Federation, also
indicted, escaped and Is still a fugitive.
Haywood and Pettibone were acquitted
after memorable trials In which Or
chard told a story of wholesale assas
sination which shocked the world.
Sentenced With Recommendation.
Following the trial of Pettibone the
case against Moyer was dismissed. Or
chard, who was indicted separately,
when arraigned after his confession,
stood mute and the court directed that
a plea of not guilty be entered. His
case was continued from term to term
until April 10 of this year, when it was
called at Caldwell and he asked per
mission to change his plea. The court
granted the request and Orchard
pleaded guilty to murder in the first
degree.
In pronouncing the sentence of death
a week later. Judge Wood recommend
ed that the Board of Pardons commute
the sentence, saying he was fully con
vinced that Orchard had told the whole
and exact truth at the trials of Hay
wood and Pettibone and that he was
therefore, for the service he had rend
ered the state, entitled to clemency.
CEMENT DITCH TO PROTECT
Government Project at Kcho to Keep
200 Men Busy.
ECHO. Or.. July 1. (Special.) M. A.
Klrtley, who has supervision of the
Government project at this place, has
eix carloads of cement stored here, to
use on the Government ditch. The first
carload of gravel and sand arrived yes
terday from Umatilla, 18 miles from

This is a force contract by the Gov
ernment to protect the O. R. & N. track,
which runs parallel to and just below
the ditci. The work begins at a point
about one mile below town.
Th seepage of water necessitates
this work, aa it endangers the track.
Vhtte the reservoir was being filled it
was necessary to employ ditch-walkers
and pven then there were three serious
brenks In the ditch. At one time two
mm were killed, twice the railroad
track was washed out, the last time a
trftln-wreck was narrowly averted. Now
as the reservoir has been filled the
water is turned off, and the ditch will
be cemented in a substantial and per
manent manner. It is estimated that
it will require a force of 200 men for a
peciod of not less than two months to
complete the work.

the Sumpter Valley Railroad reports bus
iness increasing each week. This is due
to so many seeking the Harney country

BREWERY STORAGE AGENT
Contracts Made Before June SO and
Cover Period of Several Years for
Kcgular Delivery "ear Beer'"
Also Being Made and Sold.
ROSEBURG, Or., July 1. (Special. )
At midnight last night. In accordance
with the local option law, all saloons in
Iouglas County were closed. It was ex
pected that a last good time would be in
dulged In at that time in Roseburg, but
all saloons were- quietly and promptly
closed at 12 o'clock, only four arrests
being made during the entire evening.
Although all saloons are closed, Rose
burg citizens who love the flowing bowl
fill by no means go without, as the Rose
burg brewery has contracted with ail so
wishing to supply them with a certain
amount of beer regularly for a period of
several years. The contracts were made
before June 30 and the brewery acts as
the storage agent for the contractor, al
lowing the latter to draw out any amount
at any time.
The brewery also manufactures "near
beer," which will be on sale at all soft
drink establishments. Several Govern
ment licenses have also been issued in
Douglas County, evidence that Roseburg
will have a few blind pigs. The vacated
saloon buildings have mostly all been
rented for other purposes, mainly for
soft drink establishments.
TXIOX COUNTY FINDING WAYS
Schemes for Dodging Prohibition
Being Mapped Outl
LA GRANDE, Or., July 1. (Special.)
Without any semblance of carousal
the saloons of Union County closed at
midnight last night and have been
closed all day. To all appearances there
are r.one which will violate the will of
the people and the stipulation of the
local option law. In La Grande there
was much free booze, but few drunks,
only two being arrested for disorderly
conduct. The saloonmen have resigned
themselves to conditions, and less
grumbling has been heard today than
prior to the closing.
Laws covering shipments in and out
of Union County are of more concern
today than anything else. It is be
lieved that large quantities of beer
have been ordered and paid for before
July 1, and as a result shipments will
continue from the breweries. This is
allowable under the law. It is also ru
mored that the brewery here can dodge
the law and continue to run its estab
lishment by shipping the beer to Baker
County, to its agent, where he will per
sonally accept the shipment and then
sell It. The first dry day passed very
quietly and without noticeable differ
ence from other days.
THIS DEALER WILIi CONTEST
South Hillsboro Saloonman Wants
Recount on Prohibition.
HILLSBORO. Or.. July 1. (Special.)
F. E. Cornelius, a South Hillsboro liquor
dealer, has filed a suit in the Circuit
Court of this county asking for a recount
of South Hillsboro precinct, which went
dry, on the face of the returns, by a ma
jority of 12.
The complaint alleges that J. M. Bridges
and F. C. Frances, two voters of Cornel
ius precinct, voted here, and the plaintiff
further alleges that many votes had tden
tifying marks, and that there weremore
than 12 votes counted for prohibition that
were not legal ballots and should have
been thrown out.
The Circuit Court cannot take up the re
count before July 20. when there will be
a regular term. Both saloons In the re
stricted precinct were running today, the
County Court having issued no procla
mation as to the election results. The
order to close will probably issue between
now and Saturday.

DALLAS, Or.. July 1. (Special.) Prohi
bition took effect In every precinct of
Polk County, excepting the city of In

the new ,regime with comparatively no
change in its ordinary activities. Every
saloon In the city has been closed and
Eeveral of their proprietors have secured
establishments in Lincoln and Marion

TO FISH OFF
COD BANKS TO BE WORKED SYS
TEMATICALLY. Newport Firm Buys Vessel and Will
Start Operations at Once Others
Soon to Follow.
NEWPORT, June 30. (Special.) An
nouncement has just been made here of
the formation of a new firm, Voeth &
Hembree, which will operate gas
schooners to the big banks lying just
off Yaquina bar. The new firm has al
ready procured a hull In Portland
which is to be fitted with engines of a
late pattern and put in commission out
of Newport.
Some years ago the United States
Fish Commission steamer Albatross
spent some time in surveying the cod
banks lying just southwest of Yaquina
Bay. The report of the Fish Commis
sion was that the banks were extensive
and that both cod and halibut were to
be found on them in great quantities.
This report stirred up considerable
speculation but it came to little. The
fishing done so far has been by small
boat and has continued during only a
small part of the Summer.
The new enterprise is but one of sev
eral now under way. It is understood
that the J. M. Alexander Company, of
Aberdeen, is expecting soon to put one
or more vessels into the business out of
this bay and at least two other firms
are .ousily looking over the ground
with a view to erecting large cold
storage plants for the handling of cod
and halibut.
Voeth & Hembree expect to be in
active business within a month and
promise to enlarge their facilities just
as fast as possible. The depth on Ya
quina bar is now 12 feet at dead low
water and the entrance is now regarded
as feasible for staunch craft at any
season of the year. The new boat will
be of light draft and heavy power.
The market for fish is good throughout
the valley and contracts have already
been made for a catch of two tons a
day.

The
General 'Demand
of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi
cians could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
' known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial im effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna, - the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
given the preference by the Well
informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
