8ALEM. Or, Dec -8P;c,I-)
Again Acting Governor Olcott today
nfuMd to tell why be revoked the con
cltlonal pardon Pf J. W. Norrls. now
again behind prlon bare.
"Governor Wit granted the con
ditional pardon. I revoked It. People
.hould be familiar with the cm
tancea In the case by thla time. Other
wile I have no statement to make tn
reference to the matter" waa the only
comment be would make.
It la being freely aaaerted here on
many sides that Acting Oovernor Ol
cott's atatement In reference to capi
tal punishment. In which he practi
cally repudiated the West doctrine of
abolishing capital punishment by an
executive decree. Is an effort on the
rart of Olcott to stem the tide of pub
lic sentiment which has been irP'dly
drifting against the West administra
tion and at the same time an effort on
the part of Olcott to secure a share 01
Republican votea in bis own campaign
for re-election as Secretary of fetal
which he knew were lost to him by h a
combination with West which put Ol
cott In the Secretary a office as est a
appointee. .
That Olcott believes West s policy has
Injured the Governor politically is prac
tically certain and at the same time
Olcott has a few fences of his own to
build up before be can step back Into
the office
Olcott rhaaaea Mia.
His first step tn this direction. It is
believed by rnanv. was his selection or
Fam Korer. formerly State Insurance
Commissioner, as his chief clerk. Olcott
at first declared openly he would haye
no chief clerk, but would attend to both
jobs himself and save the state the
3ono-a-year salary. Then be had I a.
sudden change of heart. He said the
board meetings took too much of his
time and Koser waa appointed as chief
clerk, after being relieved of the In
surance Commlsalonership. which also
carrlea a salary of $3000 a year.
Koser has been In polltlca for many
years and has - served under several
Secretaries who have been of -apparently
the same political faith but their
political views have been of varied
complexion and It hae been rather an
open secret around the Capitol that pos
sibly Olcott saw some opportunity to
build up his fences alona- llnea where
they were apparently weak because of
his tleup with Oswald West.
Then cornea his declaration, after the
Oovernor had started for the East, that
Olcott Is opposed to the policy of the
msn who appointed him as Secretary of
State. In view of West's declining
popularity because of his radical stepa
toward making the penitentiary Into
hotel some see tn this a move on the
part of Olcott to aummon political
strength from the opposition and con
atruct a little hduse of cards of bis
own over Wests polltlcml grave.
eeretarya Caase eem.
It la certain that Olcott appreciates
the necessity of drawing a large num
ber of votea from those who have not
been his friends, even If he hopes to
secure the Republican nomination, let
alone being elected.
Some of the wise ones declare that
Olcott la defeating himself and that the
only chance for re-election that he ever
had was tn what support Oovernor
West might throw In his direction.
They state that perhepe the Governor's
return from the East, which will bring
him Into contact wtth aoroe of the
statements that Olcott baa made, may
result In seme explanatlona being nec
essary on the part of the Secretary to
the Governor and In the meantime,
those who are familiar with the politi
cal situation In Oregon, say Olcott Is
losing West's friends and la making no
new ones In his present position.
While the campaign for the office
of Secretary of State la still In an
embryo stage and there are only ru
mors of candidates. th field appears to
be apparently open for Olcott to make
a atrong run. but the appearance of a
strong candidate. It Is asserted, will
send Olcott's chances glimmering and
his latest maneuvere will even lessen
what strength he might now have at
bis command.

Trip' From Railroad at Bend Made
In Lens Than Two Dajs Ban

BURNS. Or, Dec . (Special.) Tha
first "freight train" for Harney County
arrived In Burna Wednesday forenoon.
It wasn't drawn by a locomotive, but
waa tha next best, consisting of two
auto-trucks carrying seven tons of
merchandise, and made the trip from
tha railroad at Bend In less than two
days. Tbey averaged nine miles an
hour the entire distance and found the
roads la good condition, but they will
ba much better after a few trips of
these trucks, aa the wheels are wider
than those of wagons or automobllea
and they now strike the rough edgea
along the tracks., but In a few trips
they will level the roads and fill up the
bolea considerably. Thta will make
better roads for other machlnea and ve
hicles also.'
A large delegation of Burns business
men. accompanied by several women,
went out In autos and met the freight
trucks a few miles from town, escort
ing them In, and there waa a big turn
out to greet this forst real forerunner
of the railroad and the first means
these people have ever enjoyed for
bringing freight from the outside In
quick time.
The trucks were accompanied by C.
C Harrison and D. J. McDade. man
agers of the line, which Is called the
Central Oregon Auto Truck Company,
and by Mr. Ferris, representing the
Packard Auto Company, besides tha
drivers of the machines. The business
men of Burns gave a banquet on Wed
nesday evening In their honor at ths
Hotel Burns, when about 40 were
aeated around the board. Following
the supper, several business talks were
gtven and the truck company was
pledged the support of Burns so long
as- prompt and aatlsfactory service Is
given.
This event marks the passing of the
freight wagon from this section and it
also means a great relief to our mer
chants, who In the paat have been
compelled to carry stocks to last them
from six months to a year, while now
