StMute proceedings on the Issue. I have

' think the practice of taking people and
holding them without any other force
- than the Iron bars of the Jail should be
topped. This Chinaman in question has

MONEY WAS STOLEN
Ten Dollar Bills in Hoyer's Window
Disappear.
The Moyer Clothing Company Is out

but had laid plans Sf their own in re

equsl show to get the benefit,. of the
gifts. Therefor they were very angry
when they found that someone had en
tered the store and got away with the
$200 In a bunch without even buying a
suit. The money -was pinned on some
clothes in the show window, nd a ten
dollar bill was to be given to eery tenth
purchaser of a suit The blllsevldont!y
proved a 'temptation to .Soma on who
needed the money. The method of secur

HARKLEY GUILTY
Jury Retcms Verdict of Murder
the Second Degree.
in
(Journal Special Service.)
SALEM. Oct 18. John F. Markler was
last evening found guilty of murder In
the second degree by a Jury of his peers
This was the result of the three days'
trial of Mr. Markley for the killing of bis
former business associate, J. D. Fair, t
Champoeg, on June 25 last. The verdict
was found by the Jury after deliberating
for four hours, and the early return into
court, by the jurors, with a verdict was
a surprise to many, as the feeling was
prevalent that the contest In the Jury
room would bs long, and If a verdict waa
agreed upon at all It would not be until
this morning.
The closing arguments were mads yes
terday morning by John M. Gesrin. ot
Portland, for the defense, and by Deputy
District Atorney John W. McNary for
the state, the entire forenoon being con
sumed In the argument. Both of these
gentlemen made eloquent pleas, and the
courtroom was crowded to the very doors
to hear them. At 1 :15 .p. m. Judge George
II. Burnett delivered his charge to the
Jury, and at 1:40 o'clock the Jurors retired
to deliberate upon a verdict It was
nearly 6 o'clock before they re-entered the
courtroom . with the verdict finding the
defendant guilty of murder in the second
degree. When the verdict had been read
in open court, and the defendant was
taken back to the county Jail, be dis
cussed the matter with Sheriff B. B. Col
bathe, and h rather expressed surprise
that the verdict was not for murder in'
the first degree, or acquittal. The defend
ant himself appears to have looked for
no agreement on a middle ground. There
Is a strong probability that an appeal will
b-i taken, and if so, one of the grounds
for an appeal will ' be the refusal' ol
Judge Burnett to allow the shotgun ot
the defendant, the caps taken oft the gun
and the wa,ds extracted from the Ure
al m, to be taken Into the Jury room.

Will Get a Slice of the National
, Irrigation Fond for
.. Oregon.
Another epoch in the history of Ore
gon opened this morning with the forma-
ton o-' tho Oregon Irrigation Association
by Congressman -elect J. N. Williamson,
A. H. Dcvers. J. Hutchinson, J. C. More-
land, Henry 13. Reed. C. M. Mclsaac and
James "M, Moore, the latter three gentle
men representing the commercial organ
izations of this city. Officers were elect
ed and the question of irrigation was
thoroughly discussed. Resolutions were
offered and referred to a committee and
plan of organisation adopted.
BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
The meeting was opened with the eleo
tion of A. 11. Devers and James M.
Moore as temporary president and secre
tary, respectively. By motion, before ad
journing, the temporary officers wers de
clared to be permanent.
congressman Williamson pointed out
th?.t many parts of Oregon need to be
Irrigated: that the government has ex
pressed Itself as willing to send engineer
here to survey and take soundings of Thr
ers in .Oregon, if a concerted effort, be
made here to request Them. He ex
plained that Chief Hydrographer Newell
was here rome time ago, but could do
nothing; as some promoters who are do
lus; Irrigation work on their own hook In
certain sectjons, discouraged him In his
endt-avors. Mr, Williamson emphasised
the fact that Oregon must get her share
of the appropriation made by the last
(..nirress for Irrigation: ( wofkJ The ap
piopilatlon for this work Is $5,000,000. of
which yooo.noo was paid In by Oregon.
This fund is taken from' the .money real
ized t)y the sale of public lands and $900,
bw worth of. publo lands were, sold In
Oregon. ,
If this state will Just clear the way for
it, men will be Bent here by th govern
ment to do this work, he said. Thirty en
gln"r8 were sent to California last week,
and the same number would be sent her
If a concerted effort be made to get them.
Mr. Mclsaac explained to those present
that the Manufacturers' Association took
this matter up two years ag and that
it recommended to the government that
the streams of Oregon be surveyed an
that th reclamation service has followed
these recommendations in mapping out
the sui vey.
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.
After more discussion the following
plan pf organization as presented by Mr.
Reed waa adopted:
The names shall be the Oregon Irriga
tion .Association, that Its purpose should
b-! to advance the general welfare of the
State Ly promoting irrigation, especially
irrigation enterprises conducted under
the auspices of the'United States govern
ment. The annual meetings shall be held
In the stato of Oregon on the first Mon
day in October at 10 a. m.. and that
tho officers of the organisation shall con
sist of a president, vice-president, secre
tary and treasurer. ; .
OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION.
Resolutions were also offered by Mr.
Reed showing the productive capacity Of
Kastern Oregon and that It tsould be In
creased 10 fold If that country would
be irrigated and that the state take ad
vantage without delay of the Irrigation
law in order that It may make use of
the $&OO,000 now available for'frrlgatfdh
work within its border. The resolu
tion conclude by stating that "The pres
