S. URen. W. P. Hawley, C. T. Ltoun-tte, John IV. Moffatt. Frank Bus.-h. Postmaster Ran dall and Drake C. O'Reilly, of Portland.

He favored the con struction of new locks by the Govern ment on the east side of the river and announced his opposition to the pur chase of the present locks. Mr. Haw lev suggested that the removal of the Clackamas rapids be made an- Inde pendent project, entirely disconnected from the usual appropriation for the improvement of the Willamette River above Portland. He will be provided with the necessary facts and figures, by a committee of the Commercial Club. Free speech was the order this after noon. . Several speakers declared that tlte Soutiwirn Pacific Railway, the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company and the Oregon City Transportation Company are in collusion insofar as the maln ' tenance of freight rates is concerned. Frank Busch. a prominent furniture dealer, recited that he had paid 18 cents per hundred on a shipment from Seattle to Portland and 20 cents per . hundred on the same shipment from Portland to Oregon City. He insisted that he could liaul freight from the metropolis to this city by ox team cheaper than he could obtain if under the- present schedules. State Senator Hedges told of his op position to the legislative measure pro viding for the purchase of the Oregon f'itv locks.' the state having agreed to pay JWJ.0nn " if the Federal Government would contribute a like sum. New I-ocks Needed. ' "The locks are not worth even. SXKMX")," snjd tr. Hedges, "and the state never should buy them. We should have. new lock?. " "I'am a member of the Board of Water Commissioners." continued Mr. Hedges, turning bis attention to the question of freight rates, "and some time ago we pro cured a carload of material from Chieago. 'The freight fo Portland was 75 cents por btmdred and from Portland to Oregon ;nty It was W cnts per hundred. If we had been charged the same rate from Chicago to Portland as from Portland to 'Oregon . City there would not be money enough In Clackamas County to pay the freight.".

Ten .eeds granting rights of way to the Cen tral Oregon & Pacific Railroad were tiled HAWL YPR0M5E5 In the County Recorder's office here to day. Tney were secured by C. H. War n"r. of Portland, who has been in Browns ville recently looking after the interests of the road, and who asserts that con struction .work will begin next Spring. The proposed road will run southeast erly from Brownsville up the Calapoola Valley. Rights of way for several miles of track have already been secured, and it Is believed from this that actual con struction of a oad to tap the rich tim ber, belt and splendid etock and dairying country . up the Calapooia Valley Is as sured. The purpose of the Central Oregon & Pacific Company, as announced In the ar ticles of Incorporation, e to build a road from Albany to Ontario. But It is now said that the Calapoola road will be built first, and the extension of the track across the Cascade Range Into Kastern Orrgon as an ultimate possibility. C. H. Varner. who is promoting the road, is one of the incorporators, and Franklin T. Griffith, an attorney of Oregon City, is another. Other Portland men are in terested in the venture. HALTER TANGLES HERMIT STOCKMAN" FOUND IXSEXflBLK IX CASCADES. "Bill" Bradley, Near Cabin in Niglit Clollies. Tliouglit to Have Been Stamped by Steed. ROSEBURG. Or.. Nov. . (Special.) In his nightclothes. "Bill" Bradley, a lone bachelor- of Cape Ilnhee. about 75 miles east of this city, in the Cascades, was found near his cabin yesterday un conscious by two rorest rangers. He was tangled In a rope, supposed to be halter rope he used to -tie lii horses. It was not learned how seriously he was hurt, but from the manner in which he was found, the rangers believe some of the horses must have caused trouble in the night, and that he had gone out to quiet them, and was either kicked by one of the steeds or dragged and trampled upon. Bradley is a brother of Dr. Bradley, who formerly lived in Roseburg. but who is now located in Kentucky. He ie the man whom a Government officer sought several years ago with a pack of blood hounds to arrest him for alleged viola tion of the game laws by selling deer skins. Bradley was nbt at home when the officer called, and later sent word to the officer not to come after him again if he did not expect to find trouble. Bradley has lived In his lonely moun tain cabin, about 30 miles from civiliza tion, for 20 years, and is mo located that lie can see any one coming over the mountain trail long before he reaches the cabin, permitting him either to go farther into the mountains to safety, or stand his ground and tell the intruder to return. He lives on venison and game, and can pick out deer from his cabin almost any day, as generally hundreds of them may be seen from the cabin door, feeding on the river banks. Tnere are alEo large meadows near Bradley's place, where lie keeps cattle and- horses. He usually drives a herd to the markets in tlie Fall, going out on the Eastern Oregon side of the Cascade Range.

RYAN CASE DRAGS Prosecution Calls for More Character Witnesses. SIGHT TESTS, ARE MADE Defense Insists It Was Impossible to Distinguish Rifle In Man's Hand at Distance Which Separated Principals In Tragedy. PENDLETON', Or.. N'ov. 20. (Spe cial.) At least two more days must elapse before MikcRyan, charged with the murder of Edward Dixon, will know his fate. Late this afternoon, and just at a time when it seemed the case was sure of going to th jury this evening. It suddenly took another turn and has been continued until Monday morning. The cause of the delay was the sur prise sprung by the defense In putting several residents of Waitsburg, Wash on the stand to swear that Dixon had a quarrelsome and bulldozing- disposi 'tion. While this move was not alto gether unexpected by the state." Dis trict Attorney Phelps was not wholly prepared to meet it. Every available person, including George Dixon, -of Se attle, brother of the deceased, was placed on the stand to show that the reputation of the dead man for peace and quietude in every vicinity in which he lived was good. . Attorney Asks for Delay. When all the witnesses at hand had testified, Phelps a'sked that the case be continued until Monday morning to give him an opportunity to bring wit nesses from outside the state. This is taken to mean that he will bring men froin Waitsburg In an effort to show that those who testified against the character of the dead man today were actuated by personal malice. It is also understood he will endeavor to make capital out of the fact that these men came down here voluntarily for the purpose of maligning the' character of the dead man. Their testimony caused his widow to break down. Most of the day was consumed by the defense in introducing testimony to show that it was impossible to dis tinguish a gun in the hands of a man at the Ryan house while standing at the Neuner home. It will be remem bered that both Shubert and Neuner testified that they had seen Ryan enter his shack, get his gun and then go to intercept Shubert. It was stated on the stand by several witnesses 'that 21 tests had been made and that it was impossible to distinguish a gun at that distance. Powder Marks an Issue. An attempt was also made to intro duce testimony to show that powder marks would not have been left on the clothing of the dead man had he been less than six feet from the g-un. This was not allowed for the reason that the gun used in making the tests was not exactly like the one used in killing Dixon.- There were no powder marks on Dixon's clothing, and the state is contending that he was eight or ten feet away when the shot was fired, while Ryan says they were engaged in a hand-to-hand conflict.

The sum of $310.75 was spent for campaign expenses by the various candi dates for nomination for municipal of fice at the recent primary election, ac cording to the statements filed by the several candidates with the City Clerk. There were five candidates who stated that they were under no expense what ever, only one of these had any opposi tion. Among the last to file was Mayor J. P. Kiggins. whose statement was as Chronic Catarrh Is A Blood Disease Which Can Never Be Cured by the Use of Atomizers, Douches, Snuffs, or Other Local Treatments. Long ago physicians found out. that the very prevalent disease called ca tarrh was not primarily a local trouble, but a systemic or constitutional blood disorder Instead. For many years be fore this discovery, people were in the habit of using all kinds of local appli cations in their efforts to cure the ca tarrh, and they never succeeded in ob taining more than temporary relief. When the blood is absolutely pure, catarrh cannot exist, hutwhen it -becomes filled with Impurities through faulty elimination, the mucous mem brane, which lines all tb internal or- V gans of the body, and normally se cretes a clear, soothing fluid, becomes 'Inflamed, and the mucous fluid changes to an irritating, poisonous excretion. ' People In this climate are very much subject to catarrh of the throat and nose, especially in the Winter months, and the lining membrane of the air passages becomes congested and in flamed, and this, together with an im poverished condition or the blood, pro duces the flow of morbid catarrhal se cretion. ... When the blood is impure, it not only sends out the excess of. impurities through the pores in the shape of boils, pimples and carbuncles, etc.. but very often eliminates them through the mucous membrane, also, and the result is a catarrhal condition. In view of the foregoing facts, the absurdity of attempting to cure. catarrh through local applications, should be apparent to all. STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS, the great blood-cleansing- remedy, has been the means of curing thousands of cases of catarrh, when - all other remedies, both local and general, have utterly failed. The reason is simple and easily explained. These little wafers contain calcium xulphlde. and other powerful alteratives and blood-purl flers, which cleanse the blood current so thorough ly, and eliminate the system's poisons and Impurities so efficiently, that the catarrhal disease -has nothing to live upon and thrive upon, and the result is, the complaint is cured in a mar velously short time. Stuart's Calcium Wafers have long enjoyed the reputation of toeing the most powerful blood-cleansing, skin disease removing, and catarrh cure in existence. Persons who "catch cold" easily, and who are subject to any of the well-known symptoms of this com plaint, such as excessive secretion of mucous in the throat and nasal cavity, hoarseness, snuffles, coughs," frequent sneezing, etc., should use this power ful blood remedy, and by purifying the system absolutely, rid themselves per manently of catarrh, - as well as of pimples, boils, blackheads, carbuncles and other external, indipa tions of. im poverished blood.
