COMPARISONS INTERESTING Figures From Railroad Commis sion's Report Show One Com' pany's Lines Worth More Than Assessed Valuation of All. SALEM, Or., Nov. 1. iSrweial.V-The facts recently leathered by the Oregon Railroad Commission regarding the origi nal cost and the estimated cost of repro- ' dnctlon of the lines and equipment of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany and the Oorvallis A Kastern furnish i he bants for some Interesting comparisons with the figures shown in the summaries of county assessments filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Railroads and their equipment, accord ing to their showing, are assessed at only one-third of their cost. At the last bearing It was shown that the lines and equipment of the. O. R. A N., exclusive, of three of its branch lines, cost, down to date, over S.ofiO.am. With these . branch lines figured in the total would be over JS5.0.rt. According to estimates of the cost of reproducing the lines and equipment, made by the company's engi neer, it would cost about HS.000.000 to re build the lines and replace the equipment. It would thus appear that the actual value of the material property of the road in Oregon is not less than $.000,000 and this does not Include the value of Its fran chise as a public service corporation. The total assessed valuation of ail the railroads in Oregon is S.o5.000 and this Includes the rolling stock of street rail ways, which are not segregated in the reports from the rolling stock of steam rnaUs. The total assessed valuation of all the roads is less than the actual cost of the material property of one road, and that considerably less than one-half the total mileage in the state. The Railroad Commission has conducted a hearing aa to the cost of only one other road In the state, the Corvallis & Eastern and it was shown that the cost of this was about OO.OWi. The reports to the RaMroad Commission two years ago show that at that time the cost of the Oregon California had been $39..noO: the As toria & Columbia River. 5.0oo.OOO; the Oregon Water Power. r7.700.0O0; the Coos Ray.

This list makes a total of more than ri00.ono.000 and it does not include a num. ber of short roads doing chiefly a logging business. From this It will be seen that the assessed valuation of railroads and equipment 'js about one-third the total actual cost or tne roaas. PORTLAND DAY AT . FAIR Depot to Be Dedicated During: AI bany's Apple Show 'ext Week. ALBAXT. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) The big double storeroom on the ground floor of the new Elks building;, which will soon be occupied by Cham bers 4b McCune, has been selected as the place for holding the big Apple Fair next week. The room will be completed In time for the Fair, which opens November 10. The management of the Fair has found it necessary to make November 10 "Portland day," instead of November 11. as originally, planned. The new Union Depot Is to be dedicated on Port land day, as Southern Pacific officials found it impossible to be here on No vember 11, but could come one day earlier. New entries are constantly being re ceived for the Apple Fair, and it is now certain that several Willamette Valley counties will contest for prises. From present indications, there will be strong competition, both for the county and individual prizes, and the display will probably be a splendid one. Preparations for an excellent pro gramme are also proceeding nicely. Professor Peck, chief florist of the Ore gon Agricultural College, will conduct a public flower school at the Fair, and Professor Cole, of the same Institution will give a dally apple-packing demon stration. There will be a number of addresses by leading horticulturists and educators, as well as by men prominent in Oregon's public life. VALE PLANS.

OREGON CITT. Or., Nov. 1. (Spe cial.) Not In many years has there been such a large number of unusually Interesting cases on the docket for a regular term of Circuit Court in Clack amas County. The November term will open tomorrow, and from the venire, of 31 jurors, the grand jury will be se lected. The first murder trial in four years will be heard at this term. Matt Jan cigaj is charged with the murder of Mary Smrekar, a 18-year-old girl, who wta killed by the Slavonian at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Smrekar, last July. Jancigaj was in fatuated with the girl, who spurned his advances. Going to her home at midnight, Jancigaj climbed a ladder and gained entrance to her room, and there shot her to death. The murderer fled, and though the officers searched for him all night, he found a refuge at the home of a coun tryman only four blocks from the scene of his crime. The next morning he gave himself up to the police. The evidence against him is so conclusive that there is little question of his con viction. August Erlckson, whose former con nection with a North End resort at Portland is well known, and who for the last year has been conducting Clackamas Tavern, will be placed on trial on a charge of selling liquor with out a license. The chief witness for the state is Constable Miles, who pur chased beer and whisky at the tavern from Erlckson himself. Three Indians, Albert and Louisa Ferris and Harry Clark, are held in jail to answer to charges of burglary. John Wallace is charged with grand larceny, and P. J. Wilson and Paul Schroeder will be tried for statutory offenses. Two damage eases are exciting par ticular Interest, those of Mrs. Rose Nehren against Ernest Mathlea and George Joggi against the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company. Joggl was employed in the mill and broke his leg there. Claim Incompetence. The Injured limb waa set by the com pany's regular surgeon. Dr. Carll, and Joggl has been lame ever since. He claims $10,460 for his Injury and 110,000 more for the alleged unsklllfulness of the physician. It is stated by Joggl's attorneys, U'Ren A Scbuebel. that the officials of the company were well aware that Dr. Carll waa Incompetent, and there will t offered In evidence CaJUiinmhtr nl. Xmu BbatosKashavbsns-, ing the crippled limb of Joggl, and also the limbs of Mayvllle, Bonner and a number of other men who have been injured at the Willamette Pulp & Paper1 Company, and whose fractures were reduced by Dr. Carll. ' It is contended that the company is dlreotly respon slble for the acts of Its surgeon, Joggt's attorneys asserting that this is the position taken by the Supreme Court of the State of Washington, though this Is the first case of this nature to be tried In Oregon. Ernest Mathles, a well-to-do saloon keeper. Is defendant in a suit for $10,000 damages Instituted by Mrs. Rose Nehren, who went into the saloon to protest against the sals of liquor to her husband. She charges that Mathles forcibly ejected her from the premises. This case is set for November S, and the Joggl damage suit will be heard trie following day. TOO LATE FOR PETITIONS X City Primary Nominating Elec tion at Grants Pass. GRANTS PASS. Or., Not'. 1. (Special.) This city will not hold a primary nom inating election, as all candidates that are prospective have failed to file their petitions in time for the election, which should be held on November 7.

BOISE Idaho, Nov. L (Special.) Spe cial United States Assistant Attorneys General Peyton Gordon and Rush, who will represent the Government with Dis trict Attorney Lingenfelter, of the Idaho district, in the trial of Frank Martin, indicted by the Federal grand Jury last April, at which time Messrs. Barber, Moon and Palmer were also indicted, has arrived in Boise to take charge of the proceedings. The trial of Martin begins next Wednes day, November 4, the day after the gen eral election. It was thought at one time that the Government might dismiss the case against Martin, as it iam taken similar action in the cases against Messrs. Barber and Moon, on whom the Government attempted to obtain service on the indictments returned by the same grand Jury which Indicted Martin. Un able to secure the removal of these two defendants from WMsconsIn to the Idaho district, the Government, through the At torney-General's department, ordered the cases dismissed and Messrs. Barber and Moon will not stand trial in this district. Prior to the dismissal of the cases pend ing against Barber and Moon. Martin had applied to the United States Circuit Court in this district for an Immediate trial, and, after a long argument before Judge Dietrich, the court ordered that an adjournment of the Fall session be taken until November 4. on which date the trial of Martin starts. Bight of Prompt Trial Upheld. Attorney Peyton Gordon made a strong plea on behalf of the Government before. Judge Dietrich, when the argument for setting the date of the trial of Martin was in progress. Mr. Gordon requested that the case be postponed until the Spring term of the court, 'claiming that the Govern ment was not prepared to take charge of the case, as the special attorneys as signed to the work were busy with Gov ernment cases in other districts. The court held that Martin was entitled to an immediate trial, and accordingly set the case for November. Conspiracy Is Charge. In brief, the Government charges that Martin, who is one of the most promi nent attorneys In the State of Idaho and a resident of this city, was one of a party of conspirators who attempted to defraud the Government by obtaining illegal timber entries. Mr. Martin was the attorney for several entrymen or locators who obtained tracts of the tim ber land located In the Boise Basin, The Government brought suit against .pm eqtujoea, raorplllng ntrjes, J after the cases were carried to Wash ington, D. C. for settlement. Martin filed on the same claims and later se cured others which entrymen sold him, obtaining four in all. He believed that the purchase was perfectly legitimate and that he had the right to buy entries on Government land. It Is claimed that the Martin trial will be as brief as that of Senator Borah, and the result the same. TARGET PRACTICE IN RAIN Tacoma Team Makes Good Scores Despite Bad Weather. TACOMA, Wasn., Nov.

Greatest Exodus of Voters Since Campaign of 1896 More Leave Today, "WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Such an exo dus as has been taking place In the last four or five days from the National capi tal of voters entitled to the right of fran chise in various states has not been known in any political campaign since that of 1S96. A careful canvass of the several executive departments showed up to noon yesterday approximately 37O0 voters had already gone to their homes and many hundreds more left Washington last night and today. It is estimated 1500 more will leave for nearby states tonight and tomorrow. President Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb and several White House attaches -who hold voting residences in Oyster Bay or other places In New York will leave Washing ton tomorrow right. All members of the cabinet now are in their respective states except Secretary Wright and Secretary Metcalf. The former failed to, register in Tennessee and the latter Is confined to his residence by a serious illness. The unusual number of government em ployes wno this year are embracing the opportunity to cast their ballots Indicates the intensity of interest taken in Wash ington in the result of next Tuesday's election. While the Presidency, of course, is the overshadowing issue, thousands are interested keenly, many of them person ally, in the result of Congressional cam paigns. Particular interest !s manifested in Washington In the campaign of Speaker Cannon. Telegrams from the Speaker to friends here express confidence in the re sult of Tuesday's balloting, not only fo far as he himself is concerned, but also as to the Republican National ticket. - Mr. Cannon expresses the belief that the Republicans will have In the House of th Sixty-first Congress a comfortable working majority.
