OREGON CTTT, Or., April 26. (Special.)
E. C Giltner, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce of Portland; F. J. Fletcher,
of Albany, and M. J. Lee, of Canby, ac
companied by Captain Graham, of the
Oregon City Transportation Company.
made an Inspection this morning of the
Willamette River canal and locks. The
first three are members of a committee,
appointed at the Open River and Freight
Kate Convention at Albany, to make an
Inspection of the locks, with a view to
recommending their purchase by the
Btate of Oregon and the United States
Government, or the constructiong of new
locks on the east side of the river.
The committeemen saw a steamer go
through the locks and adjourned to meet
again at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
when the Willamette Open River and
Freight Rate Convention will be held
fcere.
New Locks Wanted.
There seems to be no likelihood that
there will be a recommendation for the
purchase of the existing locks. M. J.
Lee. a member of the committee, is
etrongly in favor of the construction of
new locks that will be adequate to han
dle the steamer traffic.
Delegates to the convention are ex
pected tomorrow from every point in the
Willamette Valley. Complete arrange
ments have been made by the Commer
cial Club for the reception of the vis
itors, most of whom will reach Oregon
City at 10 o'clock in the morning. They
will be welcomed by a committee and
escorted to the meeting place, where Dr.
W. B. Carll. Mayor of Oregon City,
will deliver an address of welcome and
present the delegates with a golden key
to the city.
County Judge Dimick will talk on "The
Open River," and State Senator Hedges
will deliver an address on "Unity, the
Factor of Success."
The visitors will be taken on automo
bile and launch trips to the locks, and in
the afternoon the business session of the
convention will be held. It is planned to
take the Oregon City Transportation
Company's steamer at Canemah in the
afternoon and come down through the
locks, leaving the boat at Oregon City in
time for the Commercial Club supper at
6 o'clock.
Complete plans have been worked out
for the permanent organization of the
Open River Association. Dr. W. H. Da
vis, of Albany, who was chairman of
the convention there, will convene the
gathering and call for the- report of the
committee on permanent organization.
This committee will report the election of
H. H. Hewitt, of Albany, as president,
and W. A. Shewman, Jr., of Oregon City,
as secretary of the organization, and will
present a constitution and by-lawr.
AH Towns to Be Represented.
The committee has arranged the plan
of membership in the permanent organi
zation so that each city in the Willamette
Valley will be represented in proportion
to its population, and there will be equal
representation from all cities in discus
sion and action affecting valley interests.
The advisability of condemning the
present locks on the Willamette River
at Oregon City and building new ones
,on the opposite Mde of the stream,
will be discussed. At the 1909 session
of the Legislature, $300,000 was ap
propriated by the state for this pur
pose, should it be deemed advisable,
and with the understanding that the
money would be available if the Fed
eral Government would appropriate a
like amount for the same purpose.
The rivers' and harbors bill, recentfy
reported from the Senate, carries the
full appropriation required and it is
believed there will be little difficulty
Jn keeping it intact in the House.
With the full $600,000. the locks are
to be improved in some way. Just
how or to what extent is the question
to be considered by today's convention.
"At the Albany convention there was
only one representative from Port
land," said Secretary Giltner, of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, yes
terday. "The people up the valley
charge that we do not evidence inter
est in their behalf in these matters,
and I am anxious that there should be
a full attendance from Portland."
The present locks are owned by the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com-
fany. which places a tariff on every
on of freight passing through.

SCENE AT VALE, PRESENT RAILROAD TERMINUS.
With the building of a railroad up the Malheur River through to
Central Oregon, It is believed that the old-fashioned freight team of
the kind shown In the accompanying picture will pass away from
Oregon. The picture was recently taken at Vale, the railroad point
at which Burns and the great Harney Valley musTTbbtain supplies, al
though nearly 140 miles distant. It is believed that, outside of Alaska,
there is no other place in the United States where goods must be
freighted for so long, a distance by teams as between Vale and the
interior points of Oregon. The recent announcement that the Harrl
man system had commenced the construction of a road from Vale up
the Malheur River, along the old survey of the Corvallis & Eastern,
originally the Oregon Pacific, has promised to open the fertile Har
ney Valley to modern farmers. This valley, with the exception of the
Willamette, is said to be the largest one in Oregon, but as it is so far
from railroads, nothing Is produced there which cannot be driven to
market on foot.

Fried for Murder, He Refuses to
Testify,- Fearing to Reveal Iden
tity and Shock His Mother.
'BOISES, Idaho,- April 26. (Special.) A
strange fate sent Charles Rolling of
Wallace, Shoshone County, Idaho, to
the penitentiary under sentence of 40
years, and then saved him from that
awful prospect when a few days ago it
brought his case before the estate pardon
board and gave him his liberty. Even
he cannot account for the strange turn
of events in. his somewhat remarkable
case.
Refurtng to divulge his true name when
arrested purely on circumstantial evid
ence as the murderer of a man Toy the
name of Vincent, at Wallace, declaring
that to do so would bring a great Borrow
and probably certain death to his aged
mother, Rollins remained ullent and be
cause of his non-committal attitude was
subsequently found guilty and sentenced
the long term of servitude in the peni
tentiary for murder In the second degree.
It was arter his arrival at the penal In
stitution that some of the facts came
out about thin man. His true name was
discovered to be Charles Rondo. His at
torneys petitioned the pardon board for
a full pardon on the grounds that the
prisoner had been the victim of a re
markable series of circumstances, promi
nent among which was his refusal to
take the witness-stand, on his own be
half because he might have to reveal his
true name and thus endanger the life
"of his mother.
Vincent was murdered in Wailace in
August, 1908, the victim of thugs. He
was shot in the leg and died from blood
poisoning. Two men were placed under
arrest for the crime a few days later
and positively identified by Vincent's
companions. Each established an alibi
and was released.
Rollins was arrested two weeks later,
when recovering from a black eye. He
was positively identified, although not
resembling either of the others who had
been first accused. The witnesses stated
on the stand that their identification was
rendered more certain of Rollins through
the bruised optic. Several witnesses
testified that Rollins' eye was black on
a date prior to the crime. It was this
conflicting festimony brought , to the at
tention of the pardon board which played
a strong part toward securing the par
don. Rollins persistently maintained his
innocence.
FISH PLENTIFUL BUT COY
Natural Food Plenty, So Artificial
Bait Does Not Tempt.
SPRINGFIELD, Or., April 26. (Spe
cial.) Although there seems to be an
unusual amount of fishing this year,
especially so early In the season,
anglers coming back from the McKen
zie report indifferent success. The two
weeks of good weather at the opening
of the season had a tendency to "bring
out a larger number of the lovers of
the sport and the banks of the Mc
Kenzie, Mohawk and upper Willamette
have been lined with fishermen. The
Invariable report is that there are
plenty of fish but they will not even
nibble at the hook. It is somewhat
too cold and the streams are too full of
food to tempt the crimson sided and
cautious fish to leave the shady hole

Best luck Is reported between here
and Harrisburg. One .party of three,
who left here Sunday morning In a
skiff and spent the day between here
and Harrisburg brought back 50 trout.
Practically all of these were caught
below the mouth of the McKenzie.
There evidently Is an unusual amount
of food in the upper waters that makes
them slow to snap at the artificial fly.
This condition, it is thought, will not
last long and better fishing will be the
result in a few weeks.
At present greater success is had
with worms than with colored bait..
HERMIT IS FOUND DEAD
w
Woodchopper's Lonely Life Comes to
End in Mountains.
PENDLETON, Or., April 26. (Spe
cial. ) As a pathetic ending to a pa
thetic life, the body of John Eddy, an
aged Meacham woodchopper, was found
in his bed in a lonely log cabin, near
the summit of the Blue Mountains.
In this cabin, located in the depth
of the forest and isolated from all other
human habitations, the man had spent
the last 15 or 20 years of his life.
From the condition in which the body
was found, it is evident that he had
died about a month ago.
Coroner Folsom went to the scene
this morning and after1 an investigation
decided that death was due to natural
causes. The body was Interred near
the cabin.
If Eddy was ever married or had
any living relatives he never commu
nicated the fact to any one. He lived
entirely to himself, merely cutting
enough wood to eke out a miserable
existence. He never received any let
ters from anyone, and never read any
papers or magazines.
FARMERS HELP RAILROAD
Store Teams Available, Now That
Spring Work Is, Relaxed.
DIXIE. Or.. April 26. (Special.)
Railway extension from this point on
the summit of Dixie Mountain, which
for the past five months has been the
terminus of the Sumpter Valley Rail
way, has been under way for three
weeks and is being pushed vigorously.
Some difficulty has been encountered
in securing laborers and teams, but as
the rush of Spring work is drawing to
an end farmers are sending in a few
teams to hurry the work along.
The John Day Valley has been pretty
well settled for 50 years, with nothing
but team transportation over the worst
of roads and now that steam cars and
numerous automobiles are hurrying
Into the valley the people are anxious
to encourage these modern facilities.
It is expected that the road will
reach Prairie City, the proposed ter
minus, about June 15. ,

IDAHO FRAUDS TO
BE PROBED LATER
Governor Brady Will Defer All
Investigation Until Next
Legislature Meets.
HIS CONDUCT CRITICISED
Land Officials Defend Their Course
in Obtaining State Lands While
in Office Expense of Inquiry
Sow Considered Too Great.
BOISE, Idaho, April 26. (Special.)
Governor Brady tonight declared he
would urge at the next session of the
Legislature that a searching Inquiry
be made into the alleged corrupt meth
ods used by state officers and subor
dinates in acquiring state lands for
their own use. Tills means that the
resignation of Register Church, of the
Land Office, and the subsequent con
fession and exposures are to be fol
lowed up and the guilty ones vigor
ously prosecuted.
Other members of the State Land
Board, including Attorney-General Mc
Dougal, Secretary of State Lansdon,
and the Superintendent of Public In
struction. Miss Belle Chamberlain, to
day declared they considered their ac
tions In obtaining state lands while
in orrice open and above suspicion.
Assistant Prosecutor Gets Land.
It developed today that Assistant Attorney-General
Peterson, while In that
office, acquired a sixth Interest in the
Medbury Carey act project and acted
as one of its legal advisers while the
project was in progress of formation.
He was offered and refused $15,000
for his holding afterwards. Prior to
that time Peterson is said not to have
been well-to-do financially.
.Attorney-General McDougal was also
counsel for an Eastern Idaho project
while In office. All state officers have
filed on or are owners of valuable
lands. Included In many projects opened
In this state during the past four
years.
Governor Brady gave out the following
statement:
Inquiry fiat Xecded Now.
"There will doubtless be legislative in
quiry into all these matters when the
Legislature meets in January, but I feel
there is no need of such action at the
present time. Such an Inquiry would
cost the state not less than J20.000 and
it seems to me we have found the evil
and have corrected It. My conception
of the duty of the chief executive in
cases of dishonesty and fraud Is that he
should remove Individuals if it Is within
his power and if that cannot be done, he
should place the responsibility where it
properly belongs.
"I have no fear whatever of any fur
ther attempt at wrongdoing in this ad
ministration thatcannot be corrected, or
at least pointed eut to the public so plain
ly it win be -understood the administra
tion should In no way be held responsi
ble for the same. No administration
should be held responsible as a whole
for the actions of any Individual."
The attitude taken by the Governor is
severely criticised in some circles.
WOOL IS OF HIGH QUALITY
Smith & Smythe Finish Shearing
'40,000 Sheep at Arlington.
ARLINGTON, Or., April 26. (Special.)
The shearing plant of Smith & Smyth
closed today after a 20-day run, having
sheared over 46,000 sheep during that
time. The plant was operated by 16 men,
making an average of about lt4 sheep
to the man each day the plant operated.
The highest Individual record made by
one man was 237 sheep.
Sheepmen are jubilant over the quality
of the wool. While last Winter was
severe the sheepmen fed their flocks
well and they have an excellent quality
of wool this Spring.
William Smith, one of the owners of
the plant and owner of one of the larg
est flocks here, says that the sheep will
average about 12 pounds a head.
Lambing is finished and the average is
about 103 per cent.

PRAIRIH CITY, Or.. April 26. (Special.)
The Prairie City Commercial Club Is
In process of organization here, and will
meet next Saturday to complete the per
manent organization. At the prelimin
ary meeting, business and professional
men and friendly farmers unanimously
agreed on the necessity for taking this
step to present more adequately the
claims of the John Day Valley to a share
of the immigration so active in other
parts of Eastern Oregon.
W. E. Weir was made temporary chair
man and J. L. Stalker secretary. A
committee of business men was appointed
to prepare plans for permanent organi
zation, which will be designed on liberal
lines. It is fully realized that lack of
promotion enterprises has caused the
commercial and industrial stagnation of
the proline John Day Valley at a time
when conditions were favorable to rapid
development of these interests.
Estimates based on the district school
clerks annual reports show that popu
lation has slowly decreased the past 10
years. During this period, especially the
latter part of It. homeseekers have
swarmed through the valley, meeting
only Indifference and the chronic knocker.

"Biddy" Is a versatile freak. Last week
she laid the largest egg ever recorded

was further remarkable in that it con
tained but one yolk.
This week "Biddy" reversed her stunt
and left in her nest a peculiarly formed
