LOOKS TO SECOND CHOICE
Atkinson Thinks Nominee Will Be
Free From Factional Alignment.
ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept. 2. SpeclaI.)
"A second choice candidate will be the
Republican nominee for Governor." This
Is the opinion of Attorney-General At
kinson, himself a candidate for the
Gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Atkln
aon came to the Harbor last night to
look after the progress of his candidacy
here. He said:
"I am thoroughly in accord with every
sentiment expressed In the Republican
platform and I stand squarely upon the
local option plank, as upon all other planks
as adopted by the state convention. I
believe that it is time for the Repub
lican party to cease its factional bicker
ings and become united in the one great
purpose of advancing the growth and
prosperity of our state.
"While I do not greatly fear the re
sult of the November elections, no mat
ter who of the several gentlemen who
re seeking the Gubernatorial nomina
tion is chosen, I believe that a greater
Republican victory for National Repub
lican principles will be gained in this
state if one is nominated for Governor
who is free from factional alignment,
free from political promises' and free from
obligations to any special interest."

TRAINS TO REACH WALLOWA BY

0-er 20 Miles Extension of O. R. &
X. Through Winding Canyon
Now Approaches End.
WALLOWA. Or.. Sept. 2. (Special.)
Trains will be running on regular sched
ule Into this city on September 20. Such
Is the announcement made by H. H.
Weatherspoon, agent for the O. R. 4 N.
at Elgin, who received the information
from the headquarters of the company
last week, and such are the instructions
received by Engineer Brandon, of the
construction department.
Great progress has been made by the
tracklaying crew the past few weeks, and
the road will emerge from the Wallowa
Canyon today and enter the Wallowa
Valley. For months the road has been
building through a winding canyon, be
tween crags, along a picturesque moun
tain stream, that will render It one of
the most scenic bits of road In the state.
. Progress naturally has been slow, for
nearly all the rails have been laid on
curves -and had to be bent. Many bridges,
culverts and trestles have been neces
sary, and the roadbed has needed much
repair. For more than 20 miles this work
has been followed, until today the track
will reach the valley.
The tracklaying machine, which has
been used for the past two weeks, and
has laid a little over a mile a day dur
ing that time, will now double Its
speed and the close of this week will see
the road within sight of this city. A
bridge across Bear Creek will delay for
a short time, and then no other ob
stacles will be encountered until the road
reaches this place. '
VALLEY BUMBLEBEES DIE
Short
Clover Crop Attributed to
Scarcity of Insects.
OREGON CITT. Or., Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) The red clover crop in many parts
of the Willamette Valley will not average
more than one-third of the usual yield,
due to the absence of bumblebees, which
evidently succumbed to the severe
weather last Spring. These bees are the
only insects that successfully pollenize
the blossoms, moving about the fields, as
the pollen sticks to their fuzzy legs. The
honeybee performs a like service for the
alsike clover, which has a more open blos
som than the red clover. Seed was worth
about 10 cents a pound last season, and
it will probably take a sharp advance.
This is the first season In the memory
of Willamette Valley farmers that bum
blebees ere not plentiful. Yellow jackets
have entirely disappeared.

PRICE OF LOGS IS RAISED
Grays Harbor Leads Columbia River
and Sound Will Follow.
HOQUIAM, Wash., Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) Beginning today, according to
notice served on mill owners, the price
of logs advances materially. The de
cision to raise the price has been made
by several of the important logging
companies on the harbor. Mill owners
hope that the Increase will not pre
vent competition with the Columbia
River and Puget Sound markets.
This is not thought likely, for a re
port from the Columbia River loggers,
at least predicts a similar Increase
there and it Is understood that the
Sound lumbermen will follow suit.
No. 1 fir will according to the no
tice, go up from $8 to $8.50, while or
dinary logs will bring from 19 to $10
before many days. This month's de
livery of spruce logs will bring $10;
and cedar from $9.50 to $10.

Relatives' Suspicions.
EUGENE, Or., Sept. 2. T. W. Somer
ville, of Harrlsburg, has returned to
that place from a trip to Los Angeles.
He Is a nephew of Mack L. Somervllle,
formerly of Eugene, who died in Cali
fornia about, three weeks ago. From
inveetlgation made by the younger man
there would appear to be some unex
plained matters regarding the death
and disposal of his uncle's estate.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Sept 2. (Spe
cial.) Fred Somervllle, administrator
of the estate of his second cousin, M. L.
Somervllle, who died here suddenly Au
gust 13, has asked the police to investi
gate the case, believing that his rela
tive was foully dealt with. On the oth
er hand. Dr. Newell J. Brown, who at
tended Somervllle, signed a death cer
tificate stating that the man died from
shock following gastric hemorrhage,
superinduced by . alcoholism continued
for years.
Somerville was stricken with hemor
rhage when he went to his place of
business, of which he had been proprie
tor for more than a year, on the morn
ing of August 13. He died at 3:30
o'clock in the afternoon.
"There is no question but that his
hemorrhage was brought on by the
continued use of alcohol," said Dr.
Brown today. "I was convinced of that
fact when I signed the death certifi
cate." "We are suspicious about his death,"
said Fred. Somervllle today. "I did not
know anything about It until the body
had been sent to Eugene. Or. I had
thought somewhat of employing private
detectives. My lawyer advised me to
do so when I laid the case before him.
I have now decided to enlist the aid of
the police."
Somerville refused to say much about
the case. He would not state what rea
sons he had for believing that his
cousin had been foully dealt with. He
admitted that there was valuable prop
erty missing, but refused to say what
It was.

DIES BY DYNAMITE
Hillsboro Lad Chooses Hor
rible Mode of Suicide.
HEAD IS BLOWN TO ATOMS
Harold Chrlstensen Ends Life at
Home of Stepfather Motive
for His Act Mystery
to Relatives.
HILLSBORO. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.)
By literally blowing his own body to frag
ments with dynamite, Harold Chrlsten
sen, 16 years old,- and stepson of C. Chrls
tensen, one of the road supervisors of
this county, committed suicide today.
From what little evidence remained to
tell the story of the tragedy. It is be
lieved that the lad placed a stick of the
explosive In his mouth, holding It with one
hand, while with the other he lighted the
fuse. In the explosion that followed
young Christensen's head was blown to
fragments and ether parts of his body
mutilated.
The horrible deed was committed about
1 o'clock this afternoon, while Mr. and
Mrs. Chrlstensen were absent from their
home, a mile from Tigardvllle, on a visit
to the family of B. G. Reedy. When they
left the house the boy complained of a
slight stomach trouble, but seemed not to
be suffering unusually severe pain from
that cause.
When the parents returned to their home
they could not find the lad at first, but
upon making search for him discovered
the powder-house, some distance away, in
ruins, with one wall blown out and a hole
in the floor. Near the rack where explo
sives were kept, Mr. Chrlstensen found
the dead body of the boy horribly mu
tilated. Coroner Brown, at Hillsboro. was noti
fied and at once Impaneled a Jury that
brought In a verdict of suicide.
The boy was studiously Inclined, of a
rather serious disposition, but not morose,
and his family are at a loss to .understand
why he should take his own life. A re
markable feature of the explosion is that
the remaining stocks of the explosive In
the powder-house were not set oft by the
concussion, as the surroundings gave evi
dence of the power of the discharge. The
powder-house was used to store explosives
used by the County Commissioners In road
work.
FIND HIDDEN REVOLVER
Evidence Disclosed Against Oregon
City Glrrs Slayer.
OREGON CITY. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.)
Valuable evidence against Matthew
Jancigaj. the slayer of Mary Smrekar,

the authorities he had thrown his gun in
the river and had spent the night follow
ing his crime in the brush on the bluff.

canyon south of the Smrekar home and
ran through the cut made by the South
ern Pacific Railroad and entered ' the
home of a friend on Tenth street and
then concealed himself in the bushes, six
blocks distant, and sent for the police.
His countryman who harbored the mur
derer expected to go East in a few days
and Informed the father of the murdered
girl that under his mattress was con
cealed the revolver, which is a.. 38-caliber
of the Ivor-Johnson pattern.
Smrekar was on hand early this morn
ing to inform Sheriff Beatie, who went to
the Austrian's home and secured the gun,
which was purchased from the Oregon
City gun store the day of the murder.
