T. 713 HILL'S FIRST VISIT (Continued from page 1) ndary question in the disposal of tbe grain of America, at least, until tlje newly developing lands of the west were cultivated to a point of yield that should restore to com merce that element, and until we changed our methods of cultivation to the standard now observed in the tU countries, where they raise 26 busfcels to America's 13. He .talked as one who has made protouna ana critical study of the wheat question la ill its bearings, past, present and future, and" who has drawn some elaborate and logical conclusions poa which he is relying fundament ally. But he did not give out any ' assurance touching the "common point" Mr. Hill, by the way, sten cilled the first barrel of flour that was ever shipped out of Minneapolis, and cut the stencil, as well; and from that day to this has never lost sight of the trade and its relation to his schemes of transportation. la answer to a direct interrogatory as to what his company intended to do about the southerly extension of the A. & C lines toward Tillamook and San Francisco, Mr. Hill frankly stated that the line to Tillamook would cost upward of $100,000 per mile; that this cost would demand an interest return of $3000 per mile; and tie matter was one to be not too light ly treated at any stage. But he did act Intimate that the road would or would not be built; nor, in parrying it, && he leave any inference that tJs phase of development was to be verlooked. He indicated an inti mate knowledge of the dairy, fruit, timber and other resources of the whole country down this way, and Manifested a personal concern that was as edifying as it was agreeable. Is all he said Mr. Hill lent mark ed emphasis to his fine appreciation f this whole territory, to the small est detail of its productive and com mercial value, and the most cheerful announcement he made during his stay here, was made when he left the Club, to go to his train, when he said, "Well, gentlemen, I must leave you now but you will see us often in the future!"; an intimation that he intended to pursue his deliberate scrutiny in matters of local concern ' here. Brasident Louis W. Hill, of the Great Northern, was just a bit frank er than his respected father, for, in conversation with Brenham Van Du sen, at the club, that prominent rail roader remarked with some unction, "Well, we are here, Mr. Van Dusen, and you may look for developments; always you understand, upon ' the hypothesis that work like ours takes rime." From which any sort of com pensating deduction may be drawn, according to the urgency and pecu liar interest suggesting it. The party, so far as declarations went, was not out for a talk-fest, but was rather liere to give their chief his first view of a territory he had, as yet, never seen, and it was very plain that Mr. Hill was looking for information, rather than dispensing it. By, and large, the visit of James J. Hill has had a good effect on the commercial pulse of Astoria; every body is glad he came, and hopes he has taken over a new and vivid in terest in this section of country, and that he will nourish it to a point of making this city a feature of his nearest plan of development in trans portation matters. Nor is there any reason to disparage the conclusion that he will do it It is his first visit and he cannot escape the lively con ' cern incident to the trip and all it mav snirirest to him in that relation. j The six-coach Hill special was the ' first train to traverse the North iBank system, from Pasco to the !sea; an event in itseit, wormy 01 Astoria's deeo interest and broad chronicle, along with the further fact that the train was the first passenger train to cross the mighty system of hridire between Vancouver and Portland; and the further fact, that, havini? crossed the two rivers, it did not go on into the metropolis, but took the northern Y and swung down the Columbia for this city, the very first of its kind to do this fa mous stunt The nartv consisted of the follow ing named gentlemen, all well and haooilv known in the railway enron- icles of the country. Beside Mr. Hill and the oresidents named above there were: President Geo. B. Harris of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; Dar ius Miller, vice-president of the Bur lington"; E. P. Nichols, third vice- president of the Great Northern Railwav. with headauarters in New York; L. C. Gilman, general counsel for the Great Northern; Jti. U Nun, ceneral manager of the Northern Pa cific Railway; J. M. Gruber, general manager of the Great Northern; A. H. Homeland, chief engineer of that line; E. L, Brown, general superin tendent of the U. N., at fcpoicane;; m. J, Costello, general traffic manager of the G. N, at Seattle; F. S. Forest, general superintendent of the North Bank lines; and Superintendent John Maguire, of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. The special depart ed for Seaside at 6:45 d. m. and will leave the ocean terminal at 2 o'clock this morning, in order that the entire group may be in at the grand high- jinks in Portland today over the opening of the great bridges over the Columbia and Willamette rivers, and to this end the special will cross the Columbia at Goble this morning, and go into Vancouver on he , north shore, crossing back into Portland from the "North Bank" yards; an event that is to be happily celebrated on the Oregon shore there this af ternoon. SEEKS TO HAVE IMPRISON MENT TERMS ADVANCED FOR DESERTION. RECMOMENDS OTHER THINGS Submits Many Theories For the Alleged Improvements in His Particular Branch of Public Ser- vice. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5,-An earnest plea for an additional prison accomodation is made by Captain E. H. "Campbell, Judge Advocate Gen eral of the navy in his annual report The Judge Advocate General also recommends legislation to increase from a maximum of 1 to two and a half years the period during which a it carter from the naw may be im prisoned. He believes that such ' an extension of the penalty to make it equal to the punishmnts provided in the army would effectively lessen such desertion. Captain Campbell recom mends legislation authorizing the entire sentence of a summary court martial, including the loss of pay to be carried into execution upon appro val by the senior officer present in stead of upon approval by the Sec retary of the Navy. This suggestion is made in order that annoying de lays in the execution of sentences may be avoided. A recommendation is made for a small corps of officers of the navy versed in naval law, similar to the judge advocates department of the army. He also favors adopting the army nractice of retiring officers found physically incapacitated because of disease or injury contracted in tbe service in the grade to which they are due for promotion and suggests that officers below the grade of com mander not found professionally Qualified for promotion shall be sus pended from promotion forx six months instead of one year, accord ing to the present law. ELECTED UNEXPECTEDLY. MAKES SOME STILTED RE MARKS UPON DEFEAT OF MAN WHO DEFEATED HIM PRETENDS TO FEAR SOCIALISM Claims Money Stands Between the People and Actual Liberty and he Blames the Republicans For it COLORADO DEMOCRATS. DENVER, Nov. 5. Returns from 132 of the 146 precincts in Denver give Bryan a plurality of 2,648; Shaf roth. D.. for governor 5716. Outside counties are still incomplete but there is sufficient returns to base the state ment that both the Democratic na tional and state tickets have been victorious and also that the next leg islature will be Democratic by a ma jority of 16. This insures the election of Charles J. Hughes of Denver as the successor of United States Sen ator Henry M. Teller, which selec tion will be made by the next gen eral assembly. It is almost sure that all three Democratic candidates for Congress have been elected.

Sanborn Philadelphia Reporter Made A Com missioner At $5000 a Year. NEW YORK, Nov. S.-A special dispatch to the World from Phila delphia says: "Given three weeks leave of ab sence from his paper that he might act during the campaign as secretary of a "Philadelphia party," a reform movement in opposition to the Re publican city organization, Frank J. Gorman 24 years old, a reporter, was nominated at the last minute for county commissioner more to fill up the ticket than with any idea- of elec ting him. The completing of the count early this morning showed that Gorman had slipped into a job that will pay him $5000 a year for the next three years. About all a county commissioner in Pennsylvania has to do is to see that the election ballots are printed correctly and have general supervis ion over the election officers. Three are elected in each country every three years two by the majority party the third place going to the minority par ty which polls the larger vote of the two nominated by his party. It was in this way that young Gorman got in. Gorman was graduated from the High School only three years ago and has been a reporter ever since. He was married in August. He will be the youngest man ever chosen county commissioner. ANOTHER TROLLEYCIDE. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Judge Alton, B. Parker, Democratic nominee for president in 1904 gave out a statement to the . Associated Press here last night expressing his views on the result of the eletcion as fol lows: . "While I believe that Judge Taft will ably and conscientiously perform the duties of the presidency, I am nevertheless of the opinion that the election of Mr. Bryan would have been far better for the country: "We need, to quote an oft-used ex pression, a change of measures and of men, this including the enforce ment of existing laws against its vio lators instead of prosecuting the lat ter's innocent victims, in the experting of the government books by experts not afraid to criticize; the practice of economy in the expenditure of pub lic funds, no longer even promised by the Republican party; the revision of the tariff by a substantial reduction of duties; and the enactment of a federal corrupt practices act still more drastic than the New York act. "We shall continue to fall short of our ideal of a government of the peo ple by the people and for the people, so long as the money of those who enjoy special privileges holds the bal ance of power. This factor the Repufr lican oartv will not eliminate, for thereby it would commit suicide. "Again the trend toward Socialism, unmistakable as it is among all classes, is due in no small measure to the paternalism of the Republican party in protecting and enriching the favored few. From tH existing evils of dominant republicanism and the threatened evils of Socialism the careful business man, the industrious laborer and the prudent producer must all seek a shield and protector and naturally must turn to the Dem ocratic party. "While we are greatly disappointed we should not be discouaged. It is apparent as we scrutinize the scores and volume of the support of the as sistant Republican parties,, viz: The Populist and Independence Parties, that the Democratic party must con tinue to be one of the two great par ties." "Now, for the first time in years," said Judge Parker in conclusion, "we have a united party, Once again there is a disposition among its members to reason together and work togeth er for the public good. We should therefre congratulate Mr. Bryan and ourselves on this improvement of the general oarty conditions under his candidacy and set ourselves resolute ly to the strengthening of the party for the contests of the future." New York Boy Struck By Motor Car And Dragged Three Miles. NEW YORK, Nov. 5 Carrying on its brake beams the mangled body of a small boy, a trolley car ran for more than three miles along Second Avenue last night without the motor man knowing that he had even hit, much less killed a person. The motorman told the police, when he, was arrested charged with homicide that he remembered a bumping of the car at 99th Street, but gave.it very little attention. At 96th Street the bumping was re peated several times. At 46th Street the car stopped and the motorman crawled under it to see what was the malter with the motor. He was hor rified to discover the horriblly man gled body of a boy apparently about nine years old. He collapsed and was assisted from under the car by the conductor. The car was filled and when the passengers found out what caused the delay several women faint ed. It is thought that the boy was Salvotbr Cantolope although the body was so badly mangled as to make identification an impossibility. Another child of the same family was killed by a trolley car three years ago. : ' STRIKERS IN VIOLENCE. Steal a Taxicab in New York and Run It Over Precipice. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-After as saulting the strikebreaking chauffeur of a taxicab last evning three men stole the cab and driving "at full speed down Sixtieth Street, ran it over a forty foot precipice, wrecking the machine , past repair. Sixtieth Street ends in a bluff which falls away steeply to a bit of beach on the edge of East River, forty feet below the street level. Witnesses of the af fair say that the machine was run rapidly down the street and that two men jumped out a hundred yards from the end of the street. The chauffeur, however, it is said, stuck to his post intil the machine reached the very edge of the precipice, when he jumped also. The machine fell to the beach beow, where it remains a mass of twisted iron and splintered wood. It was after the police had been notified of these facts by wit nesses that Charles Zeidel, a strike breaking chauffeur, reported that he had been threatened by three men in 65th street and his machine stolen The police believe that the assault and the destruction -of the machine were the work of strike sympathizers, DEFRAUDING BY MAIL.4 Chicago Man Captured At Seattle And Haled Back To Answer.

STILL MOOTED POINT. BERLIN, Nov. 5 The relations between France and Germany are again disturbed through Germany's seeking from the French Government the release of the Germans who de serted from the foreign legion at Casa Blanca and additional satisfac tion for an alleged assault made upon a subordinate official of the German consulate at that place, The French foreign office wishes to sub-J mit th matter to arbitration and Jules Cambon, the French ambassa dor is endeavoring to reach an agree ment with the Germna foreign office to this end but so far without success.
