FOR MEN ""d WOMEN ELAY II'. xi. ill Ml Indignant Because Railroad Construction Is Not Re sumed, Says F. C. Baker. READY FOR ELECTRIC LINE Citizens Have Kept Agreement With Harrlman Project, but Their Pa tience Is About Exhausted, It Is Declared. It E. E. Lytle is not going to build a railroad into the Tillamook country, the people of that county want to know it and give somebody else a chance to build. This is the sentiment of the Tillamook people as expressed by Fred C. Baker, publisher of the Tillamook Headlight, who visited Portland yesterday. Inces sant delays in resuming construction on the Lytle road, after work was aban doned last Fall, have exhausted the pa tience of the Tillamook people. Unless Mr. Lytle gets busy right away, they in tend to open a flirtation with some of the electric projects that are headed that way, notably the Oregon Electric Rail way, which has projected a trolley road to Tillamook from Hillsboro. Mr. Baker says the residents of Tilla mook County have fulfilled their part of the bargain made with Mr.- Lytle - when the lailroad was first projected. Bights of way through Tillamook County and a subsidy of $30,000 were donated to the road with the explicit understanding that the road would be completed by the end of 1908. This agreement was made in 1907. Work Stopped Last Vear. When the financial flurry struck the country in the Summer of 1907, work on the line was stopped. Mr. Lytle asked an extension of time for the completion of the road but promised to have 10 miles of the road done by February, 1909, and all the work completed within two years thereafter. This was agreed to with the understanding that work would be re sumed this season and the promoters of the line were not to lose the subsidy. Since that time, not a shoveful of earth has been turned on the railroad, says Mr. Baker, and the patience of the Tillamook people Is wellnigh worn out. Delegations of Tlllamookers have called upon Mr. Lytle repeatedly all Spring and asked to know when construction of the new' line would be taken up again. The last of these visits was no later than yesterday and then, as always, the reply of Mr. Lytle to the question was: ' "Probably within a week or ten days. It may be any day." At first this oracular statement' pleased the visitors from Tillamook. They felt satisfied and went home reassured and happy. e Many Calls on Lytic. Weeks passed, as they say in novels. Likewise months. Nothing doing on the Tillamook road. Again a . delegation would form in Tillamook and make the 4edlous trip to Portland by boat or stage to learn what had caused the hitch in the resumption of work on the "Lytle road." The inevitable question. "When will work be resumed?" was asked. "Probably within a week or ten days. It may be any day," was the answer -of the railroad builder. Then there was nothing to do but for the visiting dele gation to go back home again and re port progress,' or. rather, the lack of it. Mr. Baker voices the exasperation of the whole section at the Inactivity of the railroad forces but what to do about it they do not know. They want a rail road had and would welcome any other line, particularly some reputable electric road such as the Oregon Electric. Un less Mr. Lytle gets busy soon, the electric road, which has plans for a line into Til lamook, which will take several years to carry out, may beat' the steam road. Harrlman Behind Project. Mr. Lytle's road, as is well known. Is a Harrlman project. His delay, it Is un derstood, is caused by the failure of the Harrlman people In the East to advance the necessary money. Just when they will get ready to advance the cash,. Mr. Lytle does not know any more than any one else. "We feet that we should have had a railroad long ago," said- Mr. Baker. "Til lamook Is located just 60 miles from the city of Portland. If our fertile county were situated that close to any other big Pacific Coast city, we know we would have had a railroad long ago. . "Because of the difficult - and crude transportation methods open to, us to connect us with the outside world, mucti of our trade goes to Sail Francisco and yet we are only 60 miles from Portland. Last year we shipped cheese amounting to a value of 300,ooo and our timber wealth is immense and can hardly be estimated. Yet we are left without a railroad or adequate transportation facili ties. Something ought to be done and that right away but we want to know positively if Mr. Lytle is going to build or If he is not. If not, we can better negotiate with some other interest." colonist Rates from east Ilarriman and Santa Ke Lines Make Bid for Homeseekers. Harrlman railroads, in connection with the Santa Fe, have agreed to take the initiative and put In colonist rates for the coming Fall months, independently of the other lines. They reached this afrreement yesterday and will offer this irtducemerit to residents of" the East and Middle West to come to the Paclno Coast and settle. The rates are low. one-way fares, and they are bound to attract a large number of homeseekers to this territory-. The same rates as prevailed last Spring will be put in. beginning September 1, and the reduced prices for transporta tion to the 'Coast will continue in effect during October, as well. From Chicago the fare will . be 138; from St. Louis. J35.B0, and from the Missouri River gate ways, Omaha and Kansas City, J30. Cor responding reductions will be made from all points throughout the East. Large numbers of settlers came to Port land and other Oregon stations last Spring, partly as the result of the low rates offered, and it is expected by Gen eral Passenger Agent McMurray. who an nounces the new rates, that the move ment during the Fall months will be heavier than that of the past Spring. Oregon is better known throughout the country, it is said, than ever before, thanks to general advertising of its re sources and inducements to settlers. Thousands of people in the East have made plans to come to this state during the past year and they will escape the severe Winter of the East and Middle West by moving to Oregon this Fall Arrested With Murderer's Wife.

Casey, of New Jersey, Wins Second Prize in 1000-Yard Match of Olympic Games. BISLEY, July 9. Dull weather, with a treacherous wind, threatened this morning to interfere with the opening: of the Olympic rifle shooting: contest. By noon, however, it had improved and grood scoring: was recorded in the 300 meter team competition and in the in dividual singie and . double shot matches, with running: deer as targets. The United States is not represented in the team competition, but in the individual matches Walter Winans ap peared for America. Shwann, of Sweden, got the gold med al at single shot in the running deer competition, with a score of 25. Rankin and Rogers, another Englishman, tied for second and third places with scores of 24. "Winans the only American com petitor, scored 21. The highest possi ble score is 40. Winans and Rankin are tied for first place in the double deer competition. It will be .shot off tomorrow. They each scored 46 In a possible 80. The 1000-yard individual competition in which several Americans competed, was won by Colonel Millner, an Eng lishman, with a score of 98 out of a possible 100. The second plate in the 1000-yard individual was won by Cap-' tain Casey, of -America, with a score of 93. Blood, of Ireland, made 92, and Kerr, of Canada, 91. Millner, Casey and Blood, therefore, win the gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. The American competitors in the 1000-yard individual competition spent most of the day in practice and it was late In the afternoon before they went down to the butts to try their skill with the other marksmen. The wind continued annoying and the light was none too good. Three Americans com peted. The performance of Captain Casey, ' of New Jersey, was notable. Had it not been for an unfortunate outer in the ninth shot and a magpie in the nineteenth he would have given Colonel Millner a harder run for the victory. As it was, Captain Casey, al though fifth behind the winner, accom plished the second best score, 93. None of the other Americans reached to 90.

CHINESE BOYCOTT SPREADS Seattle Merchants Will Ship Cargo on American Ship Shawmut. SEATTLE, July 9. The Chinese boy cott against Japanese products and Japanese vessels has reached Seattle. The Iyo Maru, which arrived In this port last night, carried not a single Chinese ' passenger and, practically no freight from South China. The same conditions will prevail upon the return trip. Local "Chinese firms have de clared ' that they will make no ship ments on the Iyo, will ship via the American steamship Shawmut,. - clear-. Ing for the Orient July 27. The fact that the Shawmut will sail after the Iyo and shipments made on the vessel will not reach the Orient for more than a week after the Iyo touches at the same Chinese ports, makes the action of the local Chinese significant. Thousands of tons of freight for China that would have otherwise gone on board the Iyo have been deflected ' to the Shawmut and that vessel will carry a capacity cargo. Prior to sailing, the Shawmut will be examined- and a valuation placed on the vessel by the United States Gov ernment preparatory to her purchase for the transport service. The same action will be taken as to the Tremont, now on her way to Seattle. - ,jWHiiw!)nw:vw'wmripmwjiwim A Noted Cooking Ant End Marion Harland 'COTTOLENE is now so used that it needs no word of introduction or commendation from me.

GOLDENDALE,- Wash., July . John Shoemake, aged 30, and his father, 70 years old, lost their lives in a peculiarly pathetic tragedy, on a homestead 18 miles north of here, yesterday afternoon. Father and son were digging a well; with them were their wives, who, help less, witnessed the succession of events that cost each a husband. At a depth of M feet, the men set off a blast, soon after which the Bon de scended. An unexpected accumulation of gas made him ill and he called to be hoisted.

Just as he had reached a place of safety, he toppled back into the well, and the 9-foot fall broke his neck. Bravely the septuagenarian father sprang into the bucket, and had the two women lower him to the rescue. He-did not know yet the son was dead. . He reached the bottom and began tugging at the body. In a few moments, he, too, succumbed and lay on his son's corpse, amid the mud, water and foul gas. . Distraught, the women could do nothing but run for help. Residences in that hilly part of Klickitat are far apart, and it was a mile and a half before they reached other men; who hurried back with them and finally got the bodies out.
