JURY LAIE
Few Expect He Will Be Con
victed of Murder In the
First Degree.
JUDGE HAMILTON
EXPLAINS RULING.
Greatly Weakened Prosecu
tion's Case But Jury Heard
the Details.
(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., Juno 25. Un
less there is an unexpected delay, the
case of Holland Anderson, charged
with the murder of Mrs. E. S. Gor
don, will be submitted to the jury
late this afternoon. Attorney Ham
mond resumed the presentation of
tho final argument for the defense
when court convened this afternoon.
There is considerable guessing as
to the outcome of the case and while
some declare that Anderson will bo
freed, the majority believe that a
verdict of guilty of a lighter offenso
than the ono charged (murder in the
first degree) will bo brought in.
However this is but mere specula
tion. Tho prosecution's case was de
cidedly weakened by the ruling of
Judge Hamilton on Mrs. Gordon's dy
ing declaration. He explained tho
ruling by claiming that the alleged
robbery was another crime, separate
from tho one that Anderson was on
trial for, and consequently could not
be considered. However, tho matter
was got before tho jury by tho prose
cution in arguing that the alleged
robbery was an essential feature of
their case in that It showed a motive
for Anderson's shooting.
The North Bend witnesses called
yesterday testified that Mrs. Gordon
was a dangerous character and that
her reputation was bad.
Tho members of the jury who will
detrmine Anderson's fate are W. F.
Warner, A. O. Hlte, S. L. Curry,
David McNalr, R. It. Carmon, J. W.

TO
THIS AFTERNOON
Panama Will Take the Break
water's Run For a Short
Time.
General Manager C. J. Millis an
nounced today that tho steamship
Panama had been chartered to take
the place of tho Breakwater on the
Coos Bay-Portland run while the
Breakwater goes to San Francisco
for the annual inspection. How long
the inspection will take is uncertain,
may be not being more than twenty
four hours or possibly lasting a
week or more. However, Mr. Millis
decided not to take any chances and
so engaged the Panama which has
been plying out of San Francisco and
which carries about 100 passengers
and is slightly larger than the Break
water, to take care of the Break-
i water's Portland-Coos Bay business.
"We are determined to give our
patrons the best possible treatment,"
said Mr. Millis in discussing the mat
ter this afternoon. "As soon as we
found that the inspection of the
Breakwater would result in keeping
her off the regular schedule, we im
mediately took steps to secure a ves
sel to handle the business during the
delay. The steamship Panama will
probably reach here next Thursday
and sail from here on the Break
water's time and continue the sched
ule until the Breakwater resumes
the run."
The freight and passengers to have
been brought down from Portland
on the Breakwater this week will be
brought down on the Alliance Sun
day. The action of Mr. Millis in provid
ing to take care of the business
promptly during tho unexpected in
terruption will undoubtedly be more
than appreciated by the patrons of
the line and Coos Bay people in gen
eral. SECOND PLACE

Officials Will Make 500-Mile
Wagon Trip For "Fishing"
But New Railway Route In
stead of Fish Will be Landed
PORTLAND, Juno 24. Tho Tele
gram says: "Masking the objects of
the journey by an alleged fishing
trip, ofllcials of the traffic department
of the Harrlman lines in the Pacific
Northwest have started for Kla
math Falls, where they will start on
a long journey Into the interior of
the southern half of the state. The
trip may take them clear across Ore
gon from tho Klamath lakes to the
Idaho line. There is no question but
that tho expedition will be under
taken for the sole purpose of scout
ing through the territory north of
the California line and making a re
port on traffic conditions there that
will have much to do with the build
ing of lines of railway in that por
tion of tho state during the coming
summer.
R. B. Miller, general freight agent
for the allied lines in this territory,
will be In charge of the party. He
will be accompanied by Charles Mai-'
boeuf, district freight, agent for tho
Southern Pacific. Two more astute
freight men would bo hard to And,
and they are considered expert in
spying out new country and are said
to be able to tell at a glance what
its traffic future will be. They have
been engaged in Just such expedl-tions-as
this before and their recom
mendations will Have a great deal of
weight in determining whether or
not lines will be run Into that coun
try during the coming season and
just what sections of the Immense
plain of central Southern Oregon
will be entered by the new railroads.
Other freight men may accompany
them on the journey, but if so, their
identity has not been disclosed.
Route of the Party.
The two will go direct to Klamath
Falls, via Weed, Cal. From the me
tropolis of Klamath county the of
ficials will take a private conveyance
and drive to Lakeview, a distance of
100 miles across the semi-desert
sagebrush plains. Another 100
miles, roughly speaking, will be tra
versed by the party between Lake-
view and the Stein Mountains, which
He mifjway between Lakeview and
the Idaho line. The ofllcials will tra
vel the old military wagon road built
across the southern end of the state.
and It is not unlikely they will go as
far east as the Idaho line, although
this Is not fully determined. As
first mapped out, the trip was to
have taken four days from Klamath
Falls, but when the distances were
figured out ,and tho primitive meth
ods of travel considered, It was
agreed that the jaunt will require
about two weeks.
On tho return trip, a detour down
into tho Goose Lake Valley to the
California line to the south will be
made, making the whole trip about
500 miles by wagon between the
time of leaving and returning to Kla
math Falls.
When asked why the officials are
making the Journey, General Freight
Agent Miller said:
"I am going out for a little fishing
trip."
War With Gould Line.
Far more serious purposes than
fishing are known to be behind tho
expedition. Just now there Is a war
of the railroad magnates over stra
tegic points near tho California state
lino In Southern Oregon. Ono of tho
most Important to both the Harrlman
and Gould forces Is tho Gooso Lake
Valley, where there are narrow
passes along tho east side of tho val
jley between the lake and tho moun
tains, tho possession of which mean
much In controlling tho traffic that Is
bound to be hauled out of Central

The explosion occurred in the plant

and Southern Oregon as soon as rail
roads are pushed Into the state from
that direction.
It is agreed that the Harrlman in
terests will commence active railroad
construction in that district during
the present season; In fact, the pre
paratory work to grading on the sur
vey from the Oregon Eastern survey
south into Callfonia is now being
done. Advices from Lakeview state
there Is every Indication that grad
ing will be commenced on tho line
already surveyed through the east
side of the Gooso Lake Valley before
the summer is far advanced.
Low Grades tho Prizes.
The most desirable grades into the
Central Oregon region from tho
south are tho prizes to be fought for
by the rival railroad magnates. Upon
the completion of the Western Paci
fic into San Francisco, it is believed
that a lateral will bo pushed up into
Qregon, and many think that the
Nevada, California & Oregon, the
railroad now being built north from
Reno, Nev., is a Gould project. This
line has been finished to Likely, a
distance of 164 miles from Reno, and
that portion of the road Is in opera
tion. It is expected the road will be
In operation into Alturas before the
Bummer Is over. The avowed object
of this lino is Lakeview, and it is
steadily pushing its way north.
The Harrlman incorporation of a
road from the vicinity of Redding,
on the main line of the South Pa
cific, north into Lakeview, via the
Pitt River pass and the Goose Lake
valley, which wa3 announced recent
ly, means, unquestionably, tho ri
valry of the two systems to reach
the same point by the most favored
routes, and It is likely there will be
a warm contest to seize .tho best
passes and easiest points for rail
road construction.
Events for the past few weeks
have indicated Harrlman activity in
Southern Oregon. Aside from the un
usual number of surveying crews in
the field, land agents of the Harrl-'
man lines are at Lakeview looking
up the titles to lands from the land
office records, and everything points
toward an early beginning on the
construction of tho railroads already
mapped out in that territory.
The mysterious journey of R. B.
Miller and his associates is taken as
another indication of the determina
tion of the Harrlman forces to beat
the Gould construction forces into
Lakeview and thenco Into the wide
prairies north to gqt the enormous
traffic that will bo developed there
within a short time after railroad
facilities are offered." '
