SALEM, Or., Ort. 29. (Special) The

ere resorted to the records of the
builders of the roads and the estimates
f a competent engineer who has gone
over the property carefully and computed
the rout of reproducing the roada at the
present time.
From the report o? the O. R. & N. Com
pany it appears that the total original

estimate of the engineer as to cost of
reproduction of the Jlnes and equipment
Is &.07.1!. but this does not include right

to $::S.flx. making; the estimated cost of

VANCOUVER. Wash:. Oct. 29. (Spe
cial.) The owners and managers of
sawmills all over Clark County give
it out. politics out of the question
that if Taft Is elected the mills which
have been closed ' for the most part,
during the past year, will open within
a short time after November 3. but
that If Bryan should be the next Presl
dent the chances of resumption of the
former active lumber business are
very much In doubt.
Along the Lewis River. In the north
western part of the county, and its
various branches, there are some 20
mills. None of these Is running now, for
the most of them are tie mils and the
railroads are not buying much now,
and what offers they make are at a
rate of H to 18.50. The mill men say
that thev cannot make any money
unless they get 110, and they have
formed something of a combine with a
view to getting that price when the
mills do start.
The opening of these 20 mills would
give employment to 2000 men.

SPEAKS FOR TAFT
Henry McGinn Makes Telling
Argument at Baker.
TAFT IS ECHO OF NO MAN
Helped to Make HooseTelt Policies,
Declares Speaker Points to Can
didate's Accomplishments in
Philippines and Cuba.
BAKER CITT, Or.. Oct. 29. (Spe
cial.) Henry E. McGinn, of Portland,
delivered a rousing address this even
ing before a represenatlve audience In
Elks Hall. He was Introduced by Wal
ter Meacham.
"Detractors," said Judge McGinn, "say
that Taft is but the echo or Kooseveix.
Taft Is the echo of no man. Roose
velt himself savs that Judge Taft had
as much to do with the making; of the
so-called Roosevelt policies as he him
self had. Bryan says that he advocat
ed these same policies. All honor to
Mr. Bryan, but Roosevelt first put them
Into effect and brought the trusts to his
feet.
They were Roosevelt's policies before
Bryan adopted them. Mr. Bryan Is a
gifted man. more eloquent on the stump
than James G. Blaine, but so far he has
accomplished nothing:. Taft and Roose
velt have done many thing's to the
benefit of the common people of this
great land of ours. That Is the kind of
man the people want for President
"You know what Judge Taft did in
the Philippine -Islands. He had to give
up the dream of his life to do it a
place on the Supreme Bench but he
went over there, won their love and
confidence in spite of all obstacles, and
tauerht them to be honest, law-abiding
citizens, so that in time they might
learn to govern themselves. When he
left the Deople followed him to the
steamer with tears in their eyes and
begged him to return to them soon.
"What did he do in Cuba? I need not
tell you. He brought order out of their
first ineffectual attempts to govern
themselves, so that these people are
now able to walk alone. We have set
the pace: do we want the high mark we
have made to continue? I think we do:
I believe all right-thinking men will
vote for him November S. as he says
he will carry out the Roosevelt poli
cies which he himself had so large a
part tn making." .

HIS MORAL: AVOID SEATTLE
DESIRE TO SEE SOUND CITY
CAUSES STEVENS' ARREST.
Officers Capture Man Who Jumped
Bail Three Years Ago Faces
Smuggling Charge.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct- 29. (Special.)
Seth B. Stevens, known as "Big
Steve" to every customs officer on the
American and Canadian sides of the
British Columbia boundary, who was
arrested in Seattle on Wednesday as
a fugitive from Justice for having
Jumped a ball bond in the sum of $1250
three years ago, said today that his
great desire to see Seattle was respon
sible for his arrest. He came here from
Vancouver, B. C. where he haa since
resided, and was picked up by a special
agent of the Treasury in a cave on the
outskirts of the city.
"I was married only three weeks
ago," said Stevens today, "and my wife
Is heartbroken, not knowing that I had
ever been Involved In such affairs as
smuggling. I would give every dollar
I possess in the world to be back In
British Columbia tonight."
Stevens and his first wife, who died
about two years ago, were arrested in
Seattle in September, 1905, charged
with smuggling prepared opium into
this country from across the line. With
them a man named George Berger, who
was superintendent of the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company here, was arrested.
He was subsequently tried and acquit
ted of the charge, but the Stevens
Jumped their cash ball and kept away
from Seattle until Stevens was arrested
Wednesday.
So far it has cost the Government at
least $20,000 to lay hands on Stevens,
and the loss In revenue In consequence
of the Importation of contraband goods
by Stevens is incalculable. Stevens
may escape prosecution on the old
charge because more than three years
have elapsed since the crime was com
mitted and he may successfully plead
the statute of limitations if the prose
cution renews its charges. .
He has served one term in the King
County Jail for smuggling.
