MOENINO SESSION. " At this morning's session addresses were delivered br A. L. Craig, Assistant Superintendent of Mall Dedlvery of tha United States Government. Consul H. B. Millar, who was to have delivered an address on "Roads in China," could not be present on account of being called away to CorvaUls on important business, The committee on resolutions recommend ' ed the perfection of a permanent organ! satlon, which was adopted by motion, after wiloh the convention adjourned to meet at 1 o'clock this afternoon., The meeting was called to order by Chairman Richardson, who, after some preliminary remarks, introduced J. W, Erwln of San Francisco as the first speaker. J. W. ER WIN'S ADDRESS. Mr. Erwln took as his subject '"Good Roads a Pre-reqttialto to Rural Free De livery Extension," and handled it ez cellentry. He explained the system of rural free delivery thoroughly and was frequently interrupted by applause. He said in part: "The Paciflo Division of the rural free delivery embrace's -Washington, Oregon, Idaho. Utah, Nevada, California and Art Bona, while m point of area it Is the largest of the eight divisions, approximat ing one-sixth of the United States, it has the smallest number of routes in opera tion. This Is not alone due to the fact 'that we have onlv 4 rr nent nt tha r,,i Di lation, bu? the greatest obstacle to the development of the service is the absence of good roads. In 60 cases in this division petitions for the establishment of "the service have been reported on adversely because of bad roads or the absence of roads whereby a route of desirable length could be laid out. "We have on the Paciflo Slope today . Z43 rural free delivery routes in success ful operation, of which 126 are in Call fornia, 48 la Oregon, 43 in Washington, 12 each in Idaho and Utah and two In Ari zona. Sixty-nine additional routes have been favorably reported upon and will be established within a short time, while 89 petitions are now pending. "Good roads mean easier transportation of the farm products to market and a consequent reduction in the cost of such transportation. They mean much to the children of the farmer In acquiring an education, enabling them to reach the sohoolhou8es, from which they are often debarred for many days each year by bad roads." - ADDRESS BTA. L CRAIG. The addresa of Mr. Erwin was fol lowed by one by A. L. Craig on "The Railroads and the Wagon Roads." Be cause of its excellence, Hon. Martin Dodge, the United States Director of Good Roads, will have It printed in pamphlet form and aent free to all who aak for It. 1 Mr. Craig handled his subject thorough ly and proved td all who heard him that the salvation of Oregon la good roads, Ha made vivid comparisons between rail roads and wagon roads and pointed out the fact that if Oregon would have 'more good roads the value of the land would Increase and tens of thousands more, fami lies could derive their living off of the oil of this state. In part he said: "Without the wagon roads the railroads . could not exist any more than this city could prosper or 'even have Its beginning without a surrounding country to support it. "Why baa the O. R. A N. apent millions of dollars In eliminating the curves, in reducing grades. In building steel bridges. In laying heavier rails and in more solid embankments T Do you think it is simply that some one may ride with a little more comfort than heretofore? ' Not by any means. While the comfort' of Its patrons is always a strong element for considera tion, the main reason for the Improve ment Is. that the expenditure of this money will mean such a saving in the expense of operation that the result is a greater profit on all the capital Invested. Today the greatest distance a farmer can afford to haur- wheat over existing wagon roads to the railroad Is about 29 miles. If the wagon road can be so Im proved that with the same number , of horses and with the same wagon two tons can be hauled Where one is tne present limit, it will also be found that the ex treme' boundary of the profitable wtteat would be 40 miles or double what it is now. That is, a farmer under the im proved condition of wagon roads, - 40 miles distant from the market, could pro duce wheat with as muqh profit for him self as the farmer who today Is but one half of that distance removed from the buyer at the raUway.'atatione. "Over three And one naif millions of acres would be added to the producing area of the Pacific Northwest, If an addi tional atrip only five miles, wide could be brought within reach of a market by good roads, contlnguous to the entire line C of the O. tie & N. 'This would support nearly 22,000 families'." , - '- BUSINESS TRANSACTED. 1 Resolutions ware then passed the gentlemen, for delivering addresses.

L. Weaver, which were supposed to have been concealed there by the physician. .. Dr. Weaver has occupied the house ever since it waa built and it Is known that he has a considerable practice of a spe cial nature, and it is the opinion of the officials that the skeletons sre those of victims of results of peculiar operations. The doctor was at once arrested and will be held pending an investigation. TO REDUCE ARMY President Issfics Orders to Keep It Down to the Minimum. WASHINGTON. Oct 15.

" SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15.-The Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered that cer tain questions of law be certified to by the Supreme Court of the United States In the case of the United States, appel lant, vs. he Northern Paciflo Railroad. appellee. This Is an appeal ' from the United States District Court of Washing ton, whereby It is sought to review the decree of the Circuit Court in the suit of equity brought by the United States to cancel patents for land issued to the Northern Pacific years ago. On account of the great public importance of the question, as it affects a great part of the land north of Portland as far as the Sound, and affects practically all the settlers, the Circuit Court passes it up to the Supreme Court to decide first. Did the Perham map of 1865 and the maps filed In 1870 with the-Secretary of the In terlor sufficiently designate the bound aries of the grant of that portion of the road along the Columbia River to Port land so that more lands were Included in a subsequent grant by a Joint resolu tion of 1870 in aid of the road from Port land to the Puget Sound. Second: Are the appellees estopped bx reason of the filing of said maps. Third: Was it the inten tion of the joint resolution of 1870 to in clude In the grant In aid of . the road from Portland to Puget Sound any lands within the place pf the limits so desig nated on saidmap.

Much Interest is beinf shown in the famoua murder trial of young ' Molineux, who Is being tried the second time on the charge of killing Mrs. Adams by poison, sent through the malls. The cast was begun la Justice Barrett's court this morning. Tha prison er is confluent of acquittal. While tha prosecution feels Just aa sure that tha verdict of the first trial Will be upheld. THE LIARKLEY TRIAL Champoeg Ilurder Cast Is in the J. Earisof the Jury. SALEM, Oct. 15. The trial of J. F. Markley, the Champoeg murderer, for the killing of hi former business associate, J. D. Fain." was the aU-bsorblng attrac tion in thla City yesterday, and the Cir cuit Court room at the court houae waa crowded all day by spectators to hear theteatlmony Jn the case. The taking of . testimony mx at o'clock, and waa completed at 4, S witnesses being ex amined during that tune. The case was the hardest fought legal battle in the hla tory of Marion County, but there" was little ' Jarring between opposing counsel and the contest developed no ill feeling, o often the seault of similar fights. Markley: was" In court, bright and smiling, and watched the proceedings closely. . He had more the appearance "of an attorney Interested in the case than that of a criminal on trial for hia life, and his coolness attracted general atten tion, when the taoat damaging testimony was introduced by the state. The witnesses for the prosecution did not always agree, and as a result the chain of circumstantial evidence was not made as strong as the state's attorneys might hajt'e desired. Two physicians wh held a post-mortem examination over the nemalna of John, D. Fain, the murdered man, orf June 83, jjpr live first witnesses, and they disagreed as to the number, of wounds found In the body of Fain, where the death-dealing shot had entered, one qf them testifying to one woupd, the other to two. The J?tte family, of Champoeg, neighbors of the murdered man and the defendant, was therein full force. C. W. A. Jette he purchased the land from Fa.lnwh!ch .was believed Jo ha.ye.been the motive for the crime waa on hand, and told the story of the shooting as told him by Fain before the latter died. He was followed ty others of the family and other witnesses who had reached Faln's side before death closed the stricken man's Hps, and on direct examination they told the story of the killing, disagreeing only in minor parts. But on cross-examina tion, conducted by John M. Gearln, of Portland, on behalf of the defendant, they differed widely, and aa the witnesses were all excluded from the court room, and no one of them knew what others testi fied to, witnesses frequently damaged the case of the state materially. The prose-cutton- brwrghr'-very - little- testimony to show that the shotgun belonging to Mark- ley had been found In a condition show ing that it had-fteen recetntly fired, when the owner was arrested. The defense placed Mr. Markley on the stand and he denied many of the state ments made by the state's witnesses. Other witnesses tor the defense, leading citizens of the Champoeg neighborhood, testified to the defendant's good character and peaceable disposition during a rest' dence of 25 years In that section, many years of which were spent In the mer cantile business. At t p. m., the testimony being all in. District Attorney Hart made the open ing statement to the Jury on behalf of the state, and he was followed . by John A. Carson, who made a plea for the de fense, and this, rooming John M. Gearln closed for the defense, and Deputy Dis trict Attorney John H. McNary for the state, when the court delivered the charge to the Jury and the 12 men retired to de liberate upon a verdict . Opinion varied among the spectators as to the resun oi im worn m ijie juiy- Many believed that a verdict of acquittal or at least a hung Jury would be the re suit, while others Just as confidently pre dicted a verdict of murder in the- first degree. Attorneya on tooth sides were con fident of success, while the defendant himself, the one most .vitally interested, expressed his confidence In. his acquit tal. , i T . a w- aBBB ' UPTON'S CHALLENGE.
