GRASS VALLET. Or.. July 26. (Staff
Correspondence-) Porter Bros, opened a
war of strategy on Harriman'a railroad
construction forces today by cutting- off
the base of supplies for Twohy Bros.
camps at Horse Shoe Bend, In the can
yon of the Deschutes. This was accom
plished by Porter Bros, by the acquisi
tion of the homestead of Fred Gurtz.
across which runs the only road that
leads to the brink of the canyon any
where near the vicinity of Horse Shoe
camp.
It is said that Porter Bros, paid BO,X0
for the land by which they have shut off
entrance to the canyon to Twohy Bros.
At Horse Shoe 3end Twohy Bros, have
begun to establish the blRftest camp
along the construction route, but to get
there with the tralnload of supplies now
here the Harrlman contractors will have
to cross Porter Bros.' land, and Porter
Bros, have put up signs warning tres
passers off the property. The Gurts
homestead is enclosed by a barbed wire
fence and a wire gate Is across the road
at once boundary line and a wooden
gate at the other.
Guard's Side Pocket Bulges.
Both gates were padlocked today by
Porter Bros., who stationed a man at
the wire gate, which Is the one nearest
town. This sentry Is not openly armed,
but the side pockets of his coat bulge
suspiciously. 'Oregonlnn' proved a
jood password today.
The Gurts homestead occupies a posi
tion peculiarly adapted for a strategic
move of this kind. Two lesser, canyons
converge Into the Deschutes almost to
gether from different angles at the point
where Harrlman"a new wagon road leads
off 3009 feet to the river's edge below.
On the table land at the apex of the
angle formed by these lesser canyons is
a tract cf Government land now In con
test between settlers. The Gurts home
stead adjoins the disputed tract, with
canyons on two sides of It.
$10,000 Road Appropriated.
There Is no feasible place to build a
road connecting Grass Valley with the
ammlt of Harriman's wagon road other
than through the Gurts ranch. Exten
sion of this road down Into the canyon
of the Deschutea was considered so es
sential thai the Harrlman railroad build
ers expended more than $10,000 building
a highway winding down the bluff to the
mater. Two hundred men worked 30 days
putting it in shape, and the first wagon
went down it yesterday.
The Twohy Bros." camps on the brink
of the bluff have been moved Into the
iranyon. and this morning the Harrlman
iforees began working on the approaches
to both ends of the tunnnel which will
cut through Horse Shoe Bend. At this
strategic point the two surveys conflict.
Hone Shoe Bend Is a curve in the
Deschutes River more than one and one-J-aJf
miles around, leaving a high tongue
ft land about 1040 feet acrsss at the
base. The tunnel is to be constructed
through the tongue, making a ten-degree
curve for the entire distance of lv0 feet.
900 Men Taking la Supplies.
From the viewpoint of one not a rail
road engineer. It would not appear feas
ible to build two railroads around Horse
Shoe bend, and tnere appears to be room
for only one line's construction by the
tunnel plan.
There are now about 300 men in the
camps getting supplies and equipment
u the road from Grass Valley into the
canyon at Hone Shoe Bend. So far as
food supplies are concerned. Porter Bros.'
coup is not a total bar to transportation.
ir.aamU'-h as pack trains can get down in
what are known as Mar Canyon and 16
Canyon. But there are scrapers, work
cars, lumber, camp ranges, steel, drilling
machinery and great stores now in Grass
Valley, which is full of camp railroad
construction paraphernalia of all kinds
that can only go by wagon.

his I10.0ui wacon road down the bluff,

of Porter Bros " wagon trains of seven
wagons, with 30 men. arrived late tonight
at the Gurts place and will attempt to
go down the Harrlman road to the very
base of Harrlman operations tomorrow
and establish tampi there.
Road Full of Powder Holes.
At the Harrlman construction head
quarters here tonight it is stated that the
fencing off of the route to the camp was
not a surprise. It was admitted that the
new wagon road Is full of powder holes
and can be blown up and destroyed if
desired. Harrlman has a sufficiently

ALLEGED THIEF IS DYING
Two Baker County Men Accused of
Dealing' Fatal Blow.
BAKER CITY, Or., July 26. At Cop-
perfleld. Or., where It is alleged he stole
a horse yesterday, Page Hawley, believed
to be a member of an organized gang of
rustlers who have been operating in
Oregon and Idaho, lies with his head
caved in and will 'le.
It is believed th. it the man was. the
victim of the rudimentary justice of
Baker County's newest community. After
selling the horse to John Stevens, of
Copperfteld, Hawley made off with, it. He
was pursued into the hills by J. J. Burns
and G. Pratt, who captured him. When
the men returned with Hawley his skull
was crushed, evidently from a rock, and
he will die.- The men contend that Haw
ley, who was an expert rider, fell from
his horse as they were bringing hint back
to Copperfield. There were no other wit
nesses. It is believed, however, that Hawley
was struck by the men after his capture.
The suspects are under arrest, and in
case of Hawley 's death, will be made to
stand trial.

OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 26. (Spe
cial.) Sandy Parker, a Mud Bay In
dian, more than 100 years old, was
buried today. He died Saturday, but
the Indians, mindful of an experience
six years ago, refused to bury him as
promptly as is their wont.
On the former occasion he was ap
parently just as dead as he was Satur
day, and the high functionaries of the
ribe engaged one of the most elaborate
uneral programmes known to the tribe.
In, the midst of the rites the "corpse"
rose up and inquired what it was all
about. Hence it was that the chief re
marked:
We'll take no chasices this time,"
when Sandy died Saturday. He was
generally known as "Cultus Sam." He
was a short, squat Indian, but exceed-
ngly pugnacious and was famed for his
fights with men and John Barleycorn.

LUMBER TAJUI'F, 1.M.
OREGONIAN NEWS BCHKAU.
Washinffton. July 26. Advocates of
a duty of CI. 50 on rough lumber per
thousand have about abandoned hope
of success, for ther learned today
that President Taft will not consent
to a rate exceeding- $1.23. The Pres
ident would prefer a rate of $1, but
will not Insist upon the House pro
vision. It Is generally believed the confer
ence committee will report a rate
of 91.25 in view of the President's
Insistence. '.
WASHINGTON. July 26. Hides will be
put on the free list if the tariff on boots
and shoes and other leather manufactures
is reduced below the House rates. Un
less the advocates of free hides are able
to carry out this plan, the whole is to be
called off. A decision to this effect was
reached by . the. tariff conferees today.
The conference adjourned tonight until
11 o'clock tomorrow morning;, but the
House members assemble half an hour
earlier that they may plan for executing
ffielr part of the agreement. It is ex
pected ,that they will have a report from
the House leaders as to the possibility of
passing a rule conferring: jurisdiction
upon them to agree to lower rates on
leather than those named in the House
bill.
3Iay Put It Up to Taft.
Senator Aldrich has informed Senators
from Northwestern states that he will not
consent to free hides unless there is a
material cut in the rate on boots and
shoes and other leather goods. In no
other way, he said, can he get the neces
sary votes in the Senate. Senators from
cattle-raising states have insisted that
the only way consumers can get any
benefit from the removal of the duty on
hides will be by corresponding reductions
in the duties 'on boots, shoes and har
ness. Should the House fail to give Its con
ferees authority to adopt rates lower
than those of the House bill, the confer
ence committee has what is regarded as a
trump card in reserve. This provides for
a conference report putting hides on the
free list and reducing the rates on shoes
and other leather manufactures. This
report, it is said, then would be presented

Upon Crowd of Rioters.
MEXICO CITY. July 26. Two dead,
20 injured and more than 200 arrested.
Is the result of political riots in
Guadalajara yesterday and last night,
according to reports received here.

A barricade was erected and many shots
were exchanged. Eight policemen were
wounded.
Troops Called Out.
The police charged the crowd re
peatedly, but were repulsed. State
troops were called out and a number
of volleys were fired in the air without
effect. Some members of the mob erect
ed a barricade and ' shots were ex
changed between them and the sol
diers. Considerable American property was
destroyed, and two Americans were
wounded. The Americans have, asked

Chief Forester Has Neglected Duties
for Past Month to Write
Roosevelt History.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 26. It is rumored around
Washington tonight that Glfford Pinchot,
chief of the Forest Service, because of
the interference with his administration
by Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
tends to resign and get out.
The rumor lacks confirmation, but ap
pears to be given color by reason of the
fact that Pinchot, for more than a month,
has neglected his Government work in
order to collaborate with ex-Secretary
Garfield in writing a history of the Roose
velt Administration, and further because
Pinchot is known to be deeply disheart
ened by reason of the attitude assumed
by President Taft and his Cabinet toward
forestry and conservation propagandas.
Pinohot's closest friends declare he will
not resign, but will fight all who oppose
him.

WASHINGTON, July 26. Orville Wright
