" TH' LAST CHAPTER.
Thopdoro, Durranfc Executed Xm Ban
,i Quentln Prison.
' ' San Quentin, Cal., Jan. 8. When
William Henry Theodore Dnrrant died
.-on the gallows Friday morning for the
murder of Blanche Lamont, he gave an
exhibition of coolness and nerve as lias
.seldom been seen under similar circum
stances. Hopeful almost to the last
that something or some one would in
tervene to. save, him,-he walked to the
; scaffold this morning and made his lit
tle speech "protesting his innoeenoe as
' calmly and with as distinot enuncia
tion as if be had been addressing an as
: eefublatte of friends upon some ordinary
topic of the' Ha. His face was pale,
and his eyes were red, but his voice
. ; was firm and he stood as solid as a
:-rock while he proclaimed his innocence
;-and professed forgiveness to those who,
7J he said, had hounded him to death.
There was not a hitch or aocident to
mar the plans of Warden Hale in car
rying out thesentenoe of the law. The
. noose was adjusted, the trap was
' sprung, the stout rope held and Dur
v rant's dead body dangled at the end.
" The neck was broken by the fall of
over five feet and 15 minutes later the
murderer's - body was cut down and
placed in the coffin.
In despite of the exciting event of
last night, when Currant was beseiged
hy newspaper reporters and talked to
" his parents till 11:30 P. M., he rested
easily during the night and shortly
. after 8 o'clock he awoke and bade his
guards good morning. Warden Hale
had provided a neat suit of dark ma
terial for the occasion and those olothes
Durrant quickly donned. He noticed
the absence of oollar and necktie, how
ever, and knowing full well the reason
, for this omission, he asked for them,
' explaining that a turndown collar would
not interfere with the noose. Then be
sat down to an excellent breakfast and
ate heartily. During the early morn
ing hours, Durrant did not have much
to say beyond expressing a desire that
no newspaper men should be allowed
to see him. This request was com
plied with.
Consistent to the last, Durrant died
- professing religion. But be died, ac
cepting at the last moment the com
forts of the Catholio church, instead of
the Baptist church, in which he was
J- reared. Rev. Mr. Rader, a Protestant
' minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minister
would not say that lie thought Durrant
innocent, and the condemned man de
clined his services until Rader professed
belief in his innocence. Then it was
that the once ardent Baptist turned to
the Catholio chnrch for consolation, and
called upon Father Lagan, the priest
,,. who had frequently visited him , in
prison, to attend him. Father Lagan
Responded promptly and performed the
last.solemn rites of the church. Dur
rant' remained in close consnltation
with the priest and seemed to be deeply
, interested in the impressive ceremony.
As the hour of the execution ap-
. proacljed the prisoner became somewhat
.reafles's. His father and mother were
admitted to bid him a last farewell.
.The elder. Durrant clasped his sontbjrj
thehand and the j;pu.n
&' fjwMf pttt her gently
s tTITg'rief-stricken mother was
?leTtoa' private room where she re
gained .until after the execution. The
; father,' however, went to the execution
' room and, supported by two friends,
saw his son meet his death.
.,, Warden .Hale did not attempt to
hurry matters, but allowed all possible
i.time for the supreme court at Washing
'"tbn to' take some action. Finally,.
( when word was flashed across the conti
nent that the supreme court had de
. clined to interfere, the warden ordered
the programme of the day carried out.
At 10:84 o'clock) Durrant. accom
panied by Father Lagan, appeared at
the door of the execution room. He
was fiKlowe'd by his father, a friend,
-'WaVfle'tf-'tlale and the guards. The
father and his friend walked around
the gallows to the front, while Durrant
and liis keepers climbed to the gallows
platform, instantly on arriving at the
gallows, his legs and arms were pin
ioned and the rope was plaoed upon
his neck.
The hangman was about to adjust the
black cap. when Durrant announced his
desire io Bp'eak. " Permission was given
and the doomed murderer spoke at fol
lows: "I desire to say that although I am
an inrtpcent man, innocent of every
.!...' .1 t. I i 1 J ; i
T brrcV crune . ln ' cnargeu against
f ' i ' trie. 1 bear no animosity toward those
iis iwbo have persecuted me, not even the
press of San Francisco, which hounded
me to the grave. If any man thinks I
!fm going to spring a sensation, I am
. not, except it is the sensation that I
ain an innocent man brought to the
grave by my peisecutors, but I forgive
l li em all. They will get their justice
from the great God who is master of us
v . all, and there I also expect to get the
',! justice that .is "the justice of an inno
cent man. Whether or not the perpe
': trators of the crime of which I am
charged are discovered, it will make no
difference to me now, but I say this
day will be a shame to the great state
of California. 1 forgive everybody
'ho lias persecuted me, an innocent
man whose hands have never been
stained with "blood, and I go to meet
my God with forgiveness for all men."
The words were delivered slowly and
- distinctly and without emphasis. The
eager crowd of spectators grouped
closer to the wooden framework that
they might not lose a word of what
was being said. Durrant finished and
, had barely ceased when the blackcap
- wit placed over bis face.
At the same instant, Hangman Lunt
raised his hand, the trap was sprung,
and with ft rattle, Durrant's body shot
through , the opening. There was a
sound ;as of a stout rope drawn taut,
and a broken-necked criminal Bwayed

COTTON FOR THE NORTHWEST,
New Crop to B Tried East of Cascade
Other riant! Will Be Triad.
Oregon and Washington will raise
cotton next season. Their cotton orop
will probably not "bear" the market
the first year, but there is no telling
what effect cotton will have on the in
dustrial conditions of the future. The
cotton production of this year will be
under the fostering care of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company.whioh
has just opened an industrial depart
ment that will expermient with various
things to develop the country reached
by its transportation lines. This is a
far-sighted scheme of President Mohler.
H. C. Judson.who has had considerable
experience in such matters in the East,
has been put at the head of the depart
ment. He will be guided to a grett
extent in his operations by the agricul
tural colleges of Oregon and Washing
ton. Cotton is successfully grown in the
pan-handle of Texas, at altitudes rang
ing from 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the
sea, where trosts oecur in April. In
some parts of Eastern Oregon frost has
been absent through the entire year.
Portions of Umatilla county are espe
cially favored in this lespect The ex
periments with cotton will be made in
the arid and semi-arid sections of East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington
in Wasco, Sherman, Morrow and Draa
tilla counties, of Oregon, and Whitman
and Adams comities, of Washington.
While the cotton plant will stand a
great deal of moisture, it can also en
dure drought. It sends roots deep
into the ground. In many places where
wheat is not a reliable orop, or cannot
be grown at all on account of the lack
of moisture, it is believed cotton will
flourish. If so. it will solve the irriga
tion problem for those sections. A
thorough test will be made the coming
season.
Among the other things in view by
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany's industrial department is the
introduction of tobacco raising. A
considerable colony of Cubans in Florida
are negotiating to come out to the Pa
cific Noithwest to raise and manu
facture tobacco, and the parts of Ore
gon and Washington lying east of the
Cascade mountains are believed to pos
sess all of the conditions suited to the
business. The destruction of the trade
in Cuba has turned the attention of
these people toother fields of operation,
and they have sent agents here to look
the matter up. Martinez, the great
cigar man of Key West, examined the
country east of the mountains recently,
and he did not doubt that tobacco of a
superior quality could he produced in
the vicinity of - Blalock, ia Gilliam
county.
The production of forage plants in
the Indland Empire will also engage
the attention of this move for industrial
development. Incidental to this will
come a thorough investigation of the
possibilities of dairying and raising
livestock under different conditions
than now prevail conditions that.wU
admit of a fuller mkfil '
i;i.f:fn effect of preoipi
moisture, so as to make arable
areas now arid. Among the exotics is
a tree that is said to have redeemed a
portion of France from desert conditions
ages ago a gum tree that is a native of
Assyria. It is reasonable to suppose
that the tree would be valuable in the
dry eeotions of the Inland Empire, and
it will be given a trial there.
The mechanical device of a Boise
man for raising water from streams for
irrigating purposes will also be thor
oughly tested. It consists of a cylin
der, on the o'utside of which are buck
ets that fold automatically, and the
contrivance is said to work well in a
current so slow even as two miles an
hour.
The excitement over gold in Alaska
will bring thousands and thousands of
men, many of whom will for the first
time see the great natural advantages
of the farming country and not go to
the Yukon at all, stopping to plant
their own vines and fig trees, under
which they will repose in comfort and
happiness, while the goldhunters suffer
the hardships and uncertainties of the
chase for sudden affluence.
In speaking of the proposed enter-:
prise a prominent business man said
recently:
"Many will go up the Alaska coast
and return to Oregon and Washington
to make their homes. Still others will
go to the gold fields and then return to
engage in more sober pursuits. Prac
tically all will have to pass through
the Northwest country, and the trip
will educate tbem. A new sra is open
ing for these states, and the far-seeing
and energetic ones are preparing to
meet the new conditions. Prosperity
and progress are not in the dim dis
tance, but are at the door, and it is
common sense and business sagacity to
take these steps for opening and devel
oping the resources of the country."

Professor F. L., Washburn, biologist
at the university of Oregon, has for
some time been in correspondence with
the commissioner of fisli and fisheries
at Washington, D. C, to secure an ad
ditional lot of Eastern oysters for
Yaquina bay, and has just : received
word from Commissioner Brice to the
effect that no more oysters can be sup
plied until further developments are
made in the plant already looated.
Professor Washburn is of the opinion
that the oysters already planted will
thrive, and feels in no way discouraged.

Miss Anna L. Bicknell writes an ar
ticle on "French Wives and Mothers"
for the January Century. She says :
In the families where the father con
ducts any business the wife becomes
his best clerk and usually his cashier.
The wives are exceedingly intelligent
and acute, extremelv sharp at driving
bargains, and accurate in keeping ao-
counts. They are their husbands' part
ners in every sense of the word, and it
is wonderful to see how they acquit
themselves of such a multiplicity of
duties. Self is completely annihilated;
and if weak health is mentioned, it is
never an impediment to what they have
to do for their children or their hus
bands, but is mentioned only as a dis
agreeable accompaniment to a necessary
fatigue, without an idea of using it as
n excuse for shortcomings.
COULDN'T MAKE IT.
The bull that tried to butt down a bridge,
and the goat that tackled an anvil, couldn't
make it, and were knocked out, bruised
and bleeding. From such bruises down to
pin-head blue spots they are curable, easily
and surelv. The men who get the worst
bruises always set the best cure. They
make it every time. There are right wiwh:

Jamei Baina Heroism.
James Bain, chief engineer of the
ill-fated steamer State of Florida, not
only risked his life, but deliberately
sacrificed it, to save a woman. The
distaster was most pitiful. The steam
er collided with a bark in mid ocean,
and both vessels sank almost immedi
ately. Only two men were saved from
the bark, and only a handful of passen
gers and part of the ship's company
from the steamer. Bain was safely in
one of the life-boats, which was about
to cast off, as there were as many peo
ple in it as it could hold. At that
moment he saw a woman at the steam
er's rail. She was too dazed to move.
The steamer's deok was almost level
with the water. Baiu deliberately left
his place in the boat, stepped onto
the steamer's deck, lifted the woman
over the taffrail, placed her on the seat
ho had occupied, cast off the boat, and
went down with the steamer. Every

time whore the export generally do
wane; at least they have in tho past
vears, uh the lint fix months ol the
Lsrop year gonoi ally mark the largest
export liusiiicss. There ia every indi
cation, however, of a good export move
inent from now on, im liberal engage
ineiitH have been for wheat, ooru and
Mils. Foreigners continue to buy mod-
pratoly when the market getn weak, no
that the outward movement will Rrad
ually out into the wheat stocks, which
are none too heavy if tho exports are to
keep tip largo. Argentine news favors
an exportable, surplus of about 85,000,

make it only 000,000 bushels. Thin

sumers to prevent an advance here.
There will Ins no Argentine wheat avail
able in European markets before the
latter purl of March. In tho meantime
their light stocks will be reduced, and
they will have to eoino in as buyers.
Tho American visible supply of wheal
increased this week 47,000 bushels, and
now totals IIS, Mill, 000 bushels against
63.N73, 000 bushels for the correspond
