William A. Perkins.
DRAIN, Or., June 9. (Sueclal.)
William A. Perkins, a pioneer cit
izen of this state, died at his home
in this city Friday night of apoplexy.
The deceased was a native of Ten
nessee, and was born May 18, 1835.
He was married in March, 1853,
in Indiana, to Rebecca J. McRey
nolds, who survives him. Four sons
were born to this union, three of
whom are living: Leonard M-, of
Drain; William T.. of Salem, and
Ernest, also of Salem, in this state.
The second son. Milton, was drowned
in Pass Creek, near Drain, in 1S7S.
Mr. and Mrs. Perkins came to Ore
gon In 1875, settling first at Oak
land, where Mr. Perkins taught
school. He was afterward agent
for the Southern Pacific Company
at Drain and at Roseburg, following
which he engaged in the mercantile'

Mr. Perkins was a staunch Repub

member of the Ancient Order of

Thousands more, unable to obtain ac
commodations, slept in the parks.
At today's session the destgn for the
monument to the Women of the Confed

mously agreed that this was in no sense
a fitting memorial to the women of the
South.

Hill Still Further Fortifies Himself
In Interior Washington Against
Inroads of Harrlman and
Milwaukee Competition.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 9. The first big
contract for branch lines to be let by
the Xorthern Pacific in years was
awarded late yesterday afternoon to the
railroad contracting firm of Caughren.
VV inters. Smith and Co. Papers were
signed providing for the construction of
65 miles of railroad In Eastern Washing
ton from Adrian, on the Great Northern,
to Connell, on the main line of the
Northern Pacific a short distance north
of Pasco.
The construction of the new branch
line is in consonance with the well-understood
determination of James J. Hill to
fortify still further his strong position
in Eastern Washington, especially against
invasions on the part of the Harrlman
and Milwaukee forces. When Harrlman
gained from Hill the right to the use of
the present Seattle-Portland tracks the
story was circulated everywhere that a
permanent truce had been patched up
between the two greatest railroad builders
the world has ever known. Railroad
men and financiers the country over be
lieved an end had been reached of the
competitive railroad building campaign
in the Pacific Northwest. These
theories are apparently upset by letting
the contract for the Northern Pacific line
to Adrian.
This stretch of road will mean much
to Portland, 'for it will Krintr t
city Vmuch of fhe grain from the wheatJ
aistt tets that has been shipped to Puget
Sound. The Hill lines get a water-level
haul clear to the Columbia.

Must Be Made Good.
OLYMPIA, Wash., June 9. (Special.)

room occupied by the Watts while they
were guests at the Riverside Hotel,-in

for a short time and when they re
turned a handbag carried by Mrs. Watt
was missing, which contained t450 in
cash, a gold watch valued at $150 and
two rings, one worth $25 and the other
worth $10. It was shown the pair had
not been absent from the room an un
reasonable length of time, that the
proprietors had no iron safe for the
storage of valuables of guests and that
the $17 room rent remitted did not con
stitute a settlement. ' ,

OREGON SEEKING SON.
G. AV. Hake Has Forgotten AVhlch

ALBANY. Or.. June 9. r.Wi.i

today and remains here not knowing
where to go. He lost his son's address
while en route and cannot remember
the name of the town where he lives,
though he knows it is In Western Ore
goji. He-thought, however, "It was -80
miles south of Portland, and as Albany
is exactly that distance, trainmen ad
vised him to get off hfre. His son's
name is also G. W. Hake, but no one
of that name can be located here.
Hake is 81 years old and his mem
ory Is yery poor. He hurt his hand
and arm severely by falling from the
steps of the train at a station while
en route to the Pacific Coast, and the
constant pain of this injury, has ag
gravated his mental condition. Hake
carries letters of credit from Lyons.
Neb., showing him to have plenty of
money, but his mind has become so
shattered he cannot find his rela
tives. After reaching Albany he described
to Captain C. B. Winn, of the local

ago. From his description Captain
Winn believes the town is Ashland,
and word has been sent there in an
