A New Evil Threatening Washington County Wheat. HILLSBORO. Or., June 9. Farmers in this vicinity are becoming alarmed over the possibility of a wheat evil which bus hitherto never bothered Washington Coun ty growers.

THE GH.LIAM COUNTY TRAGEDY. Hon tac Q,aarrel Cane AVoat Un favorable for Cook. ARLINGTON, June 9. There Is consld- crable feeling against Lafayette L. Cook, who shot James Collins yesterday at his farm on the Condon stage road, seven miles south of this city. He la held In Jail at Condon. The trouble between the men began In L. COOK. a dispute over a 10-acre field of rye that was within Cook's lncloaure, he thinking that it was part of his land. Collins had taken a homestead recently adjoin ing this field, and claimed that his lines inclosed this tract of land. The two men had considerable trouble about It, ana about two months ago Collins gave Cook a severe beating, laying him up for two weeks. Each had made threats against the other, and Cook had told Collins that he should not have the rye.. On seeing Collins cutting the rye which" he claimed as his. he took his ride and got on his horse and rode over to the field, dis mounted and ordered Collins to' leave the field. Collins Jumped off the iriowcr and started to go behind his team, when Cook shot at him three times. One bullet shatered Collins' left thigh, bone and severed the artery", from which he bled to death. - - - The most pnfavorab'e comment Is caused by the fact that Collins was apparently permitted to bleed to death from a wound that"was not necessarily fatal, and that Cook so strongly denied connection with the death of Collins until the evidence of witnesses was ovcrwhe'mingly against him and denial was useless. Cook has resitted In thjs neighborhood about IS years, and has been a peace able, kind-hearted man, well liked by all his nelghbore. He has a wife and two married sons living In Tacoma, and a married daughter living at Olex. in this county. His wife has been in feeble health of late, and has been living with his daughter at Olex, and the old man has been living on his place near the Junction House. He is 6S years of age. James Collins, the murdered man, was a bachelor, about 50 years old, and has re- COLLINS sided Iq this county about 12 years, the past six at his late home, where he kept the Junction House and feed stables. He was considered a peaceable man, having no serious trouble with any one until his misunderstanding began with Cook. He has no relations In this country. One Case of Smallpox. CHEHALIS.

To Famish. Electric Llsat and Power and Steam Heat In Business Part of City. SALEM. June 9. Late this evening F. R. Anson filed In the City Recorder's of fice a $5000 bond, conditioned upon his In stalling a light and power plant In this city by April 1, 190L The giving of this undertaking was one of the conditions upon which Mr. Anson was granted a franchise for the operation of an electric light, power and steam heating plant. Mr. Anson said today that he had not decided where his plant will be located. He has four places under consideration, all on Front street. The plant will be established and operated by a corporation to be formed within a few days. The granting of a franchise to a new light and power company means consid erable to the business interests of Salem. Heretofore there has been but one electric company, and it Is generally believed that competition will be beneficial to the con sumers. During the hard times following the panic of 193. the street railway com panies made very little, it any, profits. Part of the time the plants did not pay. But with the return of good times there has been money in both the light and power plant, and in the street railway. The new company will engage In furnish ing only light and power at present, but next year will put In a steam heating plant, with which to supply heat In the business part of town.
