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

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.

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.

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,
