THEYHOPEFORMUCH L B.Gornam Tells of' Their En thusiasm Other Railroad News Notes. , t. B. Gorham general agent of the Rock Xtland has returned home from an extended business trip in and around Salt Lake City. "They are busy there; men are .continually on the hustle and everything seems to be in a most prosperous condition. I believe that the whole Western country Is experiencing a tnost phenomenal "period of prosperity and growth. - "Not only in Salt Lake but In every Section where T was 'there is a remarka ble amount of business being; done but I am proud to say that right here In Port land we are as well off as anywhere else. We are not behind any of them in the Volumn or business or the general pros perous condition. I find that in that sec- tion they have a most flattering- opinion of us and consider that this is the coming section. , 1'The entire country there is stirred up over the proposed Bait Lake and Coos Bay road, . They , are mora than enthus iastic and are doing everything in their power to help the matter along. The r agitation in Salt Lake Is something im. mensem Business men are continually talking about It and are willing to go dowrf heavy .to make the project a suc cess." Every effort is being put forth that Utah shall carry out its duty in having the road built and they are hoping that Oregon will not be wanting. I think the road will be a great help to. this section as It opens up a new country. frhvrproposed line of the road is not directly in opposition to any trans continental road and opens up a section that is almost undeveloped. Salt Lake will derive great benefit,, from the line as well as the country through which It traverses' and the 'business men are seai- ous that it should be completed, "I want to say that Portland is the only place In which to live and a man is a heaven born idiot who would leave here to live elsewhere. The climate here Is so much better than any section I have yet visited that I do not want anything else in the "Climate line." ALONG PURSUIT LOOKING BACKWARD TheWeCT. tJ. Retrospect Held Wednesday Afternoon. -r Yukon Murderer in Gty Jail. V WERLELN ON DOGS. County Treasurer Werelln said this morning, when a man left his wicket after" "paying a dog license for Judge Bellinger: "Now that the license for dogs Is 13 and bitches 15 we are selling more tags than used to go out when the license was 51.50 and $3. Every year we sell more tsgs than, we did on the preceding one. This year we are starting off very briskly. It Is amusing to see some of the canines who follow their masters Into this t'fhce. There wss a boy came In here this morning with a little mangey mongrel at his heels and placed 16 be fore me and asked for a tag. No one on ( earth would give 16 cents for the dog In' fact I "doubt if anyone would accept the cur as a gift But when one becomes attached to an animal I guess it Is worth 15 to them."

M.0 Y E.I CLOTHING COMPANY THIRD AND OAK STREETS Edward La belle, alias Louis Stone, an alleged murderer, was placed in tbe city Jail Wednesday night for safe keeping; during the period between the arrival of the Bouthern Pacific train and the de purture of the Northern Pacific for the Sound. The prisoner was in charge of Police Captain Welch, of the Northwest Mount fid Police, of Yukon territory. Mr. Welsh was a former resident of Portland, and Was for a number of years a- defective on the local police force. Lunelle was captured in an obscure railroad grader's camp in Nevada. He is being taken to Dawson, to be tried for complicity in the murder of Leon Bouth lllette and Ouy Joseph .Beaudern, on the Yukon River, near Stewart, last June. Peter Fournelr, a partner of Labelle, was arrested at Dawson, about a week ngo for a share in the crime. The men re gambling-bouse boosters, who have bad reputations and have been under the eyes of the Canadian officials for the Pat year. When the river opened last spring they were given the "blue paper" and left for the outside. On reaching White Horse, the boosters met the two men who were murdered. All were French Canadians,. They be came acquainted. It was teamed that the men who were going down the river had considerable money with them. Four nelr and Labelle changed their plans, and returned down the stream with the men who were en route for the gold fields. ' , Several weeks later, the bodies of tBouthlllette and Beaudern were found on a bar In the river. The former was per forata by three bullets and the latter had the top of his head missing, with a rope attached to his left wrist and ankle, which had evidently been used to tie a stone to the body, so that it would sink and remain hidden on the river bed. The anchor became unfastened by the action of the water and the body was washed up on a shoal by the swift cur rent. 1,'jjon discovering the evidence of crime rigid Investigation was made in that locality, and the other man was Pshed out of a place in the stream where the water was shallow enough to see the bottom. It was learned at White Horse by the Canadian secret service men, from a boat builder, that Fournelr had purchased a boat from him, and left theje with the other three men. Also that Bouthillette had drawn 11,100 'from a bank at that point. -Upon he arrest of Fournehr, at Dawson, 1100 in Quebec bank notes which were identified as having been paid to the former were found on his person. The police from the beginning were un usually active in the ease. No money or effort was spared to bring the perpetra tors of the bloody deed to Justice. Clew after clew was followed before they se cured the evidence necessary and suc ceeded In arresting both of the men. La belle had disappeared but his trail was followed step by step, until he was finally run down on a desert of Nevada. The murders were In many respects similar to those of. Christmas day, 1900, when Clayson, Relfe and Olsen disap peared on the trail near Mlnto. Clayson was a well known Portland man who was returning from a trading trip to the Klondike. The bodies were not found un til the following summer. They had been ahot and r thrown into the river through hole in the ice. The Candaian officials spent over $100,000 and 16 months of time before O'Brien, an ex-conVict went to the gallows for the most terrible crime In the history of the North. The securing of the evidence for his conviction, required 94,000 miles of travel by the different officers engaged on the case. It will be remembered that the notorious Kid West who is well known in Portland, was taken from the penitentiary at Wal la Walla, to Dawson to give evidence against O'Brien, and that international legal complications were narrowly avert ed over the proceeding. West was par doned for his part in the case. His lib erty was, -however, of short duration. Af ter being out only a week, he with some others were caught in Seattle for holding up a man and nearly beating him to death. The W. "-. V. organisation is emi nently one that keeps its face well set to the front and Interests Itself in tbe ac complishment of. the present need rather than living in the past. But once a year they cast a glance back to pick up the threads. This retrospectfor the central W. C, x. U. took place Wednesday after noon. : v ... .- The treasurer's report revealed, a heat- iy financial condition. Officers were all re-elected, save the president who de cllned the honor. Mrs. 11. Y. Townsend, who waa elected to the office, is an old white ribboner and has the qualities of leadership which gives promise of suc cess to the work the coming year. The work of the union being mainly educational and preventative, there was but comparatively few reports of drun kards reclaimed, although this was not wanting, especially in the reports of prison and Jail work. The work of this latter superintendent, In mainly in the city and county Jails, meetings being held in one each Sabbath during the year. . The superintendent reports 25 hopeful conversions during the year. The work in this department does not close. when the men have been dis charged, but , realising that the first day out with 'the burden of dlsgraea and shame npon them, home lex and days of unusual temptation,, it is the custom to ilve support and" encouragement until such time as these men can find employ ment. This has been extended riurln; the past year to opening the homes of Minuuin as speuers ror tnese un fortunate men. The superintendent, hopes that in tbe near future a permanent place may be established for this work. The last year has shown great strides In sentiment In this matter. Altogether the Central Union begins a new year un der the most encouraging conditions and Invites all women-) of Hke faith in the home to clasp hands with them in thl timely woman' work. toi. ueoiesai will speak under W. C. T l.. auspices aa a central union next Sun day evening at the First Baptist Church ro this and the next regular meeting o the union at T, M. C. A. rooms, Septem ner lYtn, all are Invited.

MONTREAL, Quebec Sept 5 Crop reports received bythe Big milling com panies which have their offices in this city show that the wheat crop in the Canadian Northwest is very heavy. The harvesting is now Well under way and weather conditions are reported favor able. The yields conservatively esti mated at 60,000,000 bushels. ATHLETICS AND STYLE. Athleticism has done a great dial for dress. It' has brought us comfortable woaring iipparel. If It were-43t for the desire to appear wet! set up and thor oughly athletic, men would never wair the military short Jacket,- ' the loose, turned-tip trousers, the heavy, Jow-cut shoes, or the easy, comfortable leather belts. , The college boy, who is always an ex tremist in dress, appears better and is nwre comfortably clad TTian' he tm ever been. And this may also be said of the staid business man. Comfort Is essential in men's dress today more than it bs ever been and that is due, primarily it not entirely, to the fact that these ve times when a man. to be any kind of man at all. must be a patron ; or in rctive follower of one of the loa'l out door sport.--Chat. A Phlladelphlan recently had occasion to visit the chief physician of the asylum for the Insane at Columbus, Ohio, and was shown through the Institution by the physician and the superintendent, who told him many Interesting anecdotes about the various inmates. One, an Irishman from Steubenvllle, that state, had been brought to the asylum at a time when it was filled almost to Its capacity; and the superintendent, turning to one of the physicians, had asked: "Doctor, what ward would we better put this new man Into!" , The Irishman, recognising that he was the new man referred to, spoke up .nd said: "Indade, an' I car-re very little what war-rd yes put me Into so long as it bei Dlramocratlc!" Philadelphia Times. THE ASTUTE -SALESMAN. Arvastute salesman was enjoi.uid by hU employer to be strictly honest b ft to sell goods, ' Next day the salesman displayed some new fabrics, saying to the lady aliop-pers:" "Here la soma culoo that leons Jjat tlW I sTik." But they turned up their noses scornfully. i; The folowing day he sald to the same shoppers: - - ' "Here is some silk that is maJj to look Ilka calico." And they bought every yard a of it - v .. , This shows us that we shoull use 4u judgment as to which end of the truth is first presented. Judge. .. '-' Alex. Sweek. Portland 'V. G. H. Wr:ty.
