Portland Interests have been endeavor ing to bring about the establishment of a steamship line to Alaska but without the desired result because of tha diffi culty in securing suitable craft "If Portland merchants want to build up trade with Alaska to their beat ad vantage this Is what I will do," said Mr. Peterson.

Adjacent buildings Buffered greatly. : Large holes were driven by pieces of lumber from Thorn berry's store, knd hardly a house within 100 feet bad a whole pane of glass left Fire started within a few minutes after the explosion, but the people formed bucket brigade and soon had It under control. Thornberry'a stock of groceries were scattered all over town, and coffee, beans, butter, lard and other staples were round nearly a mile away. Thornberry was4elleved to be run ning a "blind tiger" and the exploalon is probably due to this fact. "There have been numerous complslnts about the place, and a few days ago It Is1 said a couple of . boys bought liquor at the atore. When Thornberrjro government license for th aale drilquof was found in the street, where It had been blown by the explosion. the people were con vinced thai their suspicions were welt founded. No effort was made to find th perpetrtlbf. ' Eleven stick" of exploded dynamite were round in the debris. VVELL-KNOWJ. . MEN ; "(Continued from Page One.) to the qualification of voters contains the following section: ' "Any, peneon who shall falsely sweat to any affidavit required by fhla chap ter shall be deemed guilty of perjury and upon conviction thereof - shall be punished accordingly." . i. There Is no doubt that all the delib erate frauds were committed by friends or bald workers of the liauor Interests: Tbeee men fought prohibition measures In precincts where - local option was submitted to the voters and fousht Tom Word In all precincts. The liquor dealers were, against sheriff Word, and It stands to reason that he got no votes which they could Influence. They alone were active In the work of getting af fidavit votes. Sheriff Word's friends re fused to vouch for any one unless they knew him well and could swear to the location of his residence, but the work ers for the liquor Interests either de signedly ignored tha law or took no precautions to see that It was observed. All they cared about was that the votes got Into the box. .Such methods gave hundreds of votes - to Robert L. Stev ens, "who ' has" a bare plurality of. Ave vot'es on the face of the returns, but Sheriff ..tyord will , not ask that any precincts bs thrown but because of thel Injustice that would be done honest voters. He rests his hopes on the re sult of the recount. If that should go against him he will take no further steps to retain his office. " There la a possibility that advocates of prohibition will contest ths vots of precincts like Sellwood, and It baa been Intimated that the Municipal associa tion is, not averse to going into court In the interest of honest elections, pro viding ths investigations now under way furnish undlsputsble evidence of the shameless' frauds that It Is known were committed In many precincts.

For sev eral days the investigation brought for ward no person" with a possible motive and opportunity. The theory of the detectives was that the murderer must have told Miss Page her brother had been Injured and was in the hospital. She must have left him downstairs while she went up to dress, after writing ths note to her father. He undoubtedly stealthily , crept upstairs. entered the room while she was stand ing before the mirror adjusting her bat and stabbed her to death" before "she had an opportunity to resist . The theory waa advanced that the murderer must have been some one whom Miss Pags recognised, else, - being a timid woman, ahe Would not have left- blm downstairs while she went to dress.

Fnlally, on the fourth day, It was ascer tained that a young man who had hot beea- previously described Iiad been sees In the neighborhood about noon on the day of the orlme. .

His wife had been drowned by the over turning of a canoe on the Charlea river about a year previously. Tuoker was with her at the time and was an expert swimmer. . The wife s death was re garded aa somewhat - mysterious, - but Tueksr's , explanation of the accident waa accepted 'at the tima Upon being questioned by the police Tucker told an apparently straightfor ward story of his movements on the day or the Page murder. He was not takes Into cuatody but was kept under aur- velllanoe. Within a day or two new de velopments came is light and strength' ened the suspicions against Tucker.

Other evidence ' introduced tended to show that Tucker had at one time been an .acquaintance of Miss Page's brother and had called at the house. Witnesses testified also to Tucker's having money - following the time of the murder, and the possession of which be could not reasonably ex plain. The evidence showed that Miss Page had a 110 bill In her purse on the morning of the murder and that It waa missing when tbe body was found. The verdict of the jury was received with surprlss by those who had followed (he trial closely. Thle sentiment wss not unanimously based upon a belief In Tucker's Innocenc, but upon the opin ion tnat the evidence did not fix the guilt upon the young man.
