tons of hay per day. That was the time

not glad to feel the Chinook winds come

Mr. Young said he did not expect to

would probably be only light snows in

Stok Horse, Then Broke Jail His
' Mother Heartbroken and Fam
ily in Dire Distress.
By the arrest of Emmett Klmberley,
which was accomplished last night by
Sheriff Storey and Deputy Matthews, a
sad story is unfolded. Klmberley is
wanted in Canyon City for the theft of
a horse, and escape from the Grant
County jail. He is now In the Multnomah
County Jail, where he will remain until
a Grant County officer arrive to take
him back. '
Kmmett Klmberley Is the son of highly
respected Canyon City" parent. His
father is now dead, and his mother sor
rows at her lonely home because of the
keen'dlsgrace lntd which her wayward
son has plunged the honored name of the
family.
ONE CRIME ALONE.
The. young man is but 2o years of age,
and bore a high reputation in bis home
community until he Stole a horse, for
whioh deed he was arretted, convicted
and placed In" Jail. He was married to
the daughter of John Marks, a wealthy
farmer of Pralrl City. He had not been
la the Grant County tall long when he, in
company- with another prisoner, broke
Jail and made good, his escape from the
olHcers. It was an episode of importance
at the time, owing ' tp the act that the
sheriff of th county was making a hot
campaign for re-election. The escape
came near losing the fight for him. That
was one year ago, and an incessant
search has been kept up for Klmberley
since.
Sheriff" Storey Was notified that Klm
berley was in Portland, and located him
last night, at the corner of East Waah-
ington and East Water streets. He was
working ee a laborer for a well-known
contractor, and denied his identity when
approached by the ofllcers. He was work
ing under the name of Jackson.
WOLF STARINO IN.
Klmberley's wife and two children are
living in dire poverty on the East Bide,
and this morning Sheriff Storey wrote
Mrs. Klmberley's father, stating the cir
cumstances the family are in. The sher
iff advised the father to send his daugh
ter transportation, so that she might
go home. .It Is said that the wife arid
two children are absolutely destitute, and
that unless aid is extended to them at
once they will suffer for the want of
food. '
HIS DOWNFALL.
- - In company with the woman at whose
home' she. is. staying,. Mrs. Klmberley
called at the county Jail this morning
to see her husband. She had her little
girl arid boy with her, and while she
went to their father's cell they hugged
close to their kind friend. The little
tots seemed to have a childish intuition
that all was not right, but still they did
not realize -how serious waa the situa
tion, . SHIELDS HUSBAND.
Probably to shield her husband, Mrs.
Klmberley steadfastly denies to her lady
friend, with whom she w living at aoi
Washington street. East Side, that her
husband is guilty of the offense with
Whleh he Is charged. She maintains that
they were married seven years ago, and
Under the name of Jackson No trou
ble of any nature, she tells her friend,
has befallen her husband.
However, both Mr. and Mrs. Klmberley
have confessed the whole matter to Sher
iff Storey, and there Is no mistake about
the arrest.
MASON'S SUCCESSOR.
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 7. The Illinois
general assembly convened In biennial
session today with a prospect of lively
times and much work before final ad
journment is reached. First and fore
most is the election of a united states
Senator to succeed William E. Mason,
whose term will expire in March. The
choice of a Republican is assurred by
the Republican control of the Assembly.
The last Republican state convention in
dorsed Congressman ' A. ' J". Hopkins for
the Senate, but open and vigorous efforts
to block this plan have, been at work
ever since trie convention. eenaior
Mason is an avowed candidate for re
election, and those who remember the
circumstances and conditions that sur
rounded his first election would not be
taken entirely by surprise at any piece
of luck that might befall the Chicago
statesman. Close followers of the polit
ical game, however, are of the opinion
tliat Hopkins has a long lead in the race
and with the support of the Tates or
ganization Is bound to win. The con
test, whatever may be the result, will
undoubtedly have an itnportartt bearing
on the future organization and control
of the Republican party in Illinois.

Very Weak from Loss of 'Blood,
Bat is Likely to Recover.
With both legs severed below the
knees, Wong Lee, a Chinaman, is at the
Good Samaritan Hospital in this city.
Although the shock to the nervous sys
tem of the Celestial through the loss of
his limbs waa a severe one. It is thought
he will recover. The terrible experience
through wjilch he is passing and which
will leave him a cripple for life resulted
from an attempt to cross the Northern
Pacific Terminal Co.'s tracks in front of
a moving train. The Chinaman was
knocked down and run over by the cars.
The accident occurred between "and
10 o'clock last evening and the Injured
man was taken to the hospital as quickly
as an ambulance could be summoned. A
portion of the lower limbs still remained,
clinging by wisps of skin to the stumps
when the Chinaman reached the Good
Samaritan Hospital, but amputation was
found to be necessary. Greatly weak
ened by loss of blood, it waa at first
thought the man could not live, but a
telephone message from the hospital,
lust as The Journal was going to press,
says the conditions have changed for the
better and Wong Lee has rallied wonder
fully.
CAUSE NOT KNOWN.
It is not known Just how the accident
occurred. It was at a dark place in the
varda. -A Dassenaer train had dis
charged its cargo of human freight at
the Union Denot and waa being torn
nDdrt bv the switch crew and scattered
into various sections of the Tard.- Sud
denly a cry was heard. A lantern signal
stopped the switch engine and brakemen
hurried to where a writhing wotcn couia
he discerned unon the ground. It waa
Wong Gee.
At least two .wheels of a passenger
coach had passed over his legs about
midway between the knees and tne an
kles and blood was flowing In a stream.
It Is supposed the Chinaman saw the
train approaching, but could not throw
himself from the track in time to wholly
escape.

THE DALLES. Jan. 7. If there are

its prestige, let them come, even In these
dull days after the 'holidays and see the
immense amount of buslnss done, and

About one third of the produot goes

Portland, San Francisco and Oakland.
The mill is run by electricity, brought
from White River Falls, on the east
slope of Mt, Hood, and the town' is well
lighted by electricity from the same
source. Although 'the finest school
house In the state was added to the
splendid system a few yeara ago, the

not a vacant house In the town. Busi

Some Pretty Warm Dh cessions at
the Uettkz Held'-. ; V
The matter of th blanket franchise
for the City A Suburban Railway Com
pany came before the special meeting
of the City Council yesterday afternoon,
but only reached the second reading in
its progress toward adoption or rejec
tion. The atmosphere " became warm
with the intensity of th occasion, and
when President Zimmerman, with hi
index finger rigidly pointed toward Gen
eral Manager Fuller of the Portland
Railway Company, it became hotter yet.
He dramatically declared that ha could
ee th hand of th latter In th measure
up for consideration. r
When the reading of the ordinance
had been finished. Councilman Bentley
moved that the privileges of the floor be
extended. to Fred W. Mulkey, president
of the former Council, who, as the owner
of property along Becond street, had
some interest in the matter.
mulkey is wrtmNa
In hi remark Mr. Mulkey stated that
th public were getting tired of waiting
for tbe company to "do something." . He
wanted to see a regular and decent ser
vice established on a line that had some
beginning and some end. The present
owners of th right of way were not
giving the public what waa needed, and
were simply holding the line to keep out
competition, - inasmuch' as the company
did not seem disposed to give the public
service but insisted on holding the
track; wnton if -removed, would, give, the
owners of property an opportunity to see
to it that proper paving was laid. This
ha declared, Is a necessity, to prevent the
fruther depreciation of property.
. DAN MALARKEY OPPOSED.
Dan J. Malarkey was given the priv
ilege of speaking against the franchise.
He appeared as the spokesman for a
number of property owners who objected
to the franchise being given on certain
streets.
Councilman Bentley wanted the life
of the franchise reduced from 30 to 25
years, and Councilman "Sherrett con
curred. In all franchises he .contended
that if the City & Suburban be given a
30-year franchise, tb Portland Railway
Company should be given a like priv
ilege. Then followed a discussion upon
the merits of granting franchises of dis
proportion at length. The matter finally
concluded by referring th ordinance to
Ah treet committ..-. -- ., .. ...
( OTHER MATTERS.
yMiL!i!CeWilthiM:o- iSST- N. Barrett.
was granted the privilege of. .addressing
the Council in the matter of -the fran
chise granted the West Side & Suburban
Railway Company. He argued in favor
of the benefits Portland would receive
from 'th line and would much like to
aee the matter settled.
Councilman Rumelin came forward
with a resolution for the appointment of
a committee of six by the mayor look
ing towards the purchase of a stone
quarry, crushers, etc., for the use of
the city. This resolution provides for
the make-up of the committee thus: A
member of the Council, one from the
Board of Public Works, the city engin
eer and " three taxpayers. This was
adopted.
Unanimous adoption of the Bentlejr
substitute for the Flegel repealing ordi
nance, considered by the Judiciary com
mittee, was had. This nullifies many
perpetual franchises heretofore granted
by the city to telephone, railway and
telegraph companies.
A petition signed by two thirds of
the property owners for. the improve
ment of East Washington street from
"Union avenue to East Water street, was
granted.

L. Therkelsen.
Chairman Corbett said that at the
conference recently held with the Port
of Portland the subject of lowering the
two water pipe now reposing in the bed
of the river came up for discussion. Of
course auch action would be but pre
liminary to the dredging out of the
river bed. It was shown that Inman,
Poulsen A Lo. had offered the Port of
Portland $3,000 to dredge. tbe East Side
liver bed to facilitate the bringing in
of timber-laden boats to that company's
sawmills.
Mr. Corbett wa inclined to tne belief
that the river bed could not be dredged
out anyway without consent of the Fed
eral Government and it was said that
the channel would tend to fill up about
very four Years. Mr. Teal clearly saw
that there was some danger, in case the
river bed wa disturbed, of causing a
possible leakage in the water mains, and
thought that the keeping of the city
water supply uncontamlnated was .a
matter of the highest importance.
: The sense of the meeting finally
crystallzed Into the sentiment that the
pipes in ths river bed be lowered, pro
vided the Port of Portland stand the ex
pense of dredging and of lowering the
pipes, and that It also get definite
authority from the Secretary of War
as to the exact number of feet the pipe
maybe letdown. ,

THE BOAT LINES ,
SIGN NEW SCALE
Employes to Receive $5 Per Month
Mor Wages.
The members of the Steamboat Em
ployes' Union are discharging, their va
rious duties this morning in a contented
frame of mind, for the simple reason that
the-last of th rivsc ,trs,iwcttlqac.9m
panles has signed their agreement, grant
ing them an Increase In wages of 35 per
month. About a week ago the O. R. &
N. Co. was prevailed upon to grant the
Increase, and since then a committee
from the union has been busy calling on
the other lines requesting that similar
concessions be made. The labor repre
sentatives met with practically no oppo
sition, when each company wa apprised
of the fact that their competitors were
generally signing,.
Those lines increasing the scale are the
O. R. & N., the Kellogg Transportation
Company, the Oregon City Transporta
tion Company, the Vancouver Transpor
tation Company, the White Collar Line
and tho Shaver Transportation Company.
Several other lines had been paying the
scale asked, and were not visited by the
committee.
INCREASED PAYROLL.
; rThe new -schedule will affect about 450
men, and "wilt moke a difference In' the
monthly disbursement of the local pay-
tvi f o"f SJfc fer OOTsraiiis- rapo h..t
a majority of the companies have been
inclined for some time past to increase
the wage scale, but they felt a hesitancy
about doing so on account of the fact
that the employes are In the habit of
working a short- time in one place and
then looking for a new location. The
companies, however, believe that the ad
vance In wages will have a tendency to
change matter . considerably In . this re
spect, and that the men will be willing
to retain their positions permanently.
The Steamboat Employes' Union has
made rapid forward strides since its or
ganization on May 18. At that time U
had but 100 members; -now It has 450.
and I adding to Its membership each
week.
THE UNION LABEL
During 1903 the union label agitation
will be given an impetus in this city,
says th Seattle Union Record. The
Typographical Union has a special com
mittee endeavoring to form- a ladies'
label league. At the State Federation
of Labor meeting H. A. Drake of Port
land will present a -plan for forming-a
blue label league In the interest of union
cigar-makers. It might be a wise plan
for the State Federation of Labor to
formulate a plan for the booming of all
union labels In this state. The label la
an -effev weapon. Improperly used.
A detailed account of MrT'Duke's plan
appeared in these columns more than a
week ago. "- .

Creamery Company. They were manufac
tured by the FairVlew Cheese Company,
of Falrvlew. ' '
When seen' regarding tlje seizure, O.
Ii. Davenport, manager of the Portland
Produce Exchange Company, said: "I'
did not.' know they were not branded, -as
they only Just came in. I cannot be ,"
held liable for it, either, as the manufac
turers are supposed to brand it, and not-,
the dealer. In this case It 1st the fault
of the Falrvlew Cheese Company. Mr.
Cutllp came yesterday and took them. I
suppose they will be branded and then
returned to me, as I have already sold -them
to Mr. Daniel of the La Grand
Creamery."
