said, without knowledge of the new law,
which did not go into effect until July

He also contended that Hemet had taken
proper cautionary measures to keep the

eluded vigilance and ran away.
Hemet contended through counsel
that he was readv to depart, had paid

Immediately pushed westward from
Shoshone, Wyoming, and continued

statement published months ago when
iht Northwestern'a surveyors were
rushing lines through the lowest passes
In that region. That the road will be
surveyed til rough centra.! Oregon, and
touch tidewater at both Coos Buy and
Portland, is now regarded as certain.
Hoveral years will be required to work
out the Northwestern's problem of
reaching the coast from central Wyo
ming. The distance to be traversed la
about 1,000 miles. The work has thus
far proceeded slowly on account of the
Northwestern s well-known close traffic
affiliation with the Union Paoiflo sys

Hall road relationships have been
changing rapidly in the last .year or two.
and the rar-seeing rauroaa men rore
see that before long other transconti

distance of the growing traffic. The
coming in of the Milwaukee, another
close friend of the Harrlman roads, will

Boise, Ida., Bept. 16 Report that the
Chicago & Northwestern Hallway com
pany, which has for aome time been
nuking surveys In southern Idaho and
western Wyoming, la soon to push on to
the coast, seems well founded, ludglng
from activities of representatives of the
company In the sections mentioned.
The Northwestern haa for some time
had surveying corps In the vicinity of
Boise snd 8t. Anthony. Recently a rep
resentative waa sent from this city to
Investigate conditions-and report there
on, which he did and on atrength of his
report the company's surveyors com
menced to run a route between Boise
and Nampa. evidently the link In the
proposed route from Lander or Sho
shone, Wyoming, to the coast
In this connection It la possible that
the Northwestern will take over that
portion of the San Francisco, Idaho &
Montana railroad now building from
Caldwell to Snake river on the west.
At any rate there haa. been sbme talk
of such a transaction. A despatch from
Shoshone says the Northwestern will
build west from that place Instead of
Lan'lcr, the present terminus of the
road, aa originally Intended.
One report Is In circulation to the
effect that. tha line will be extended
from Lander to Coos bay via St. An

Mrs. dardner's inheritance will be is
the question that Is puxxllng the county
court, tha rival attorneys, and all the

The question came before the court
this morning, but Judge Webster re

the property shall be divided Into nine
parts, one for each of the children but
that if Mrs. Gardner died before her
husband, her ahare waa to be only 11,
and tSOO for funeral expenses and a
tombstone. The father said In his wlll
that he wanted hla scn-in-law to have
none of his property. If Oardner died
tlrst, Mrs, Oardner should have her

to the other eight.

to what shall be done with Mrs. Gard

WELL KNOWN BUBBLE DRIVERS
WILL MAKE ACQUAINTANCE OF COPS
R. B. Magruder has secured options
on $5,000 acres of land along (he Co
lumbia river about half way between
Portland and Astoria and proposes to
reclaim It by building 10 miles of levees
or dykes, the total amount involved In
the undertaking being estimated at ap
proximately $100,000. '
Mr. Magruder aaya the opportunity of
reclaiming this most fertile .land has
been overlooked because It lies at the
very doors of the" state'i" metropolis,
while large sums are being expended in
remote parts of the stats on reclamation
projects In the arid districts.
The lands ,to be reclaimed are partly
under water at seasons of the year when
the river rises to the flood stage, and
for that reason cannot be cultivated
under present conditions. By exclud
ing the water, .it Is said the most pro
line of soil will be laid bars and made
perfectly secure from the reach of
floods. At .the same time It will be as
well securer) against severe drouths,
because water can be let in from the
river if necessary.
The undertaking means tho adoption
of the systems of reclamation that have
brought Holland, Egypt and other low
Unas into worldwide lame, ana tne pro
moter says he will have no difficulty In
proving the feasibility or nis plana
Mr. Maeruder has labored) Incessant
ly on ths scheme for the past three
years and had some difficulty In tying
up the land because of the inability of
many of the smaller owners being for
eigners, mostly Finns, who did not un
derstand English and who were skeptic
al of the outcome should they give an
option on their land, even though in
Ita present state It is of no particular
value to them except for graslng dur
ing a portion of the year.
The land Is appraised at about $10
an acre, but it is said that when the
dyke Is partly completed its value will
be at least $100 an acre.
The greater portion of the land is
located on the Oregon side of the Co
lumbia, beginning opposite Walker's Is
land and extending weatward with the
river In the vicinity or ciataaanie.
Across the Columbia it extends from the
mouth of the Cowl its river westward
for a distance of several miles, also In
a northerly direction along the banka of
the Cowitts.
The 2S.000 acres will be dyked In
tracts of from 6,000 to 6,000 acres, di
vided by canaia made naviganie at an
stages of the water. Powerful dredges
will be employed In digging these ca
nals and building the dykes, while rock
and brush will also t employee in mak
ing the walla solid and placing them be
yond danger of collapsing In case of
extremely high water.
The walls will be 60 feet wide at the
base where the crown is 10 reet above
the ground. ' They will have a 10-foot
crown with a two to one foot slope on
the back, and three to one foot on the
front and wilt be set 20 feet from the

Indian Springs, Ga., Sept. 26. The
hundreds of visitors who have been at
this Saratoga of Georgia during the last
month have had a striking demonstra
tion of how very kind the United States
government can be, when It is so dis
posed, to a man on whom It has placed
the brand of felon.
The man whom the government has
chosen to overwhelm with kindness is
Colonel John F. Gaynor, the New York
contractor, who, with Captain Benjamin
Greene, waa convicted over two years
ago in the United States federal court
of conspiracy in the Savannah harbor
frauds. In which the United States gov
ernment was robbed of large sums.
To see Colonel Gaynor reclining In his
invalid's chair on the long veranda of
the wigwam notei. wen groomed ana
attended by a valet, one would never
tuke him for a man who had been sen
tenced to serve five years in a United
States penitentiary, and to pay a fine
of over $200,000 to the United States.
And yet such a sentence has been Im
posed on Colonel Gaynor by Federal
Judge Emory Speer, and It has been af
firmed by the United States " circuit
court of appeals at New Orleans. The
only thing apparently between Gaynor
and the clipped hair, stripes and lock
step which charactrlxee the men sen
tenced to the penitentiary Is an appli
cation for a rehearing now pending be
fore the United States circuit court of
appeals.
Such an application to a court which
has already affirmed the conviction
seems to be a slender barrier to keep a
man from doing time, but in the- case of
Gaynor has proved to be a sort of Gib- l
raltar. And while other men who have
injurea ine government iar less are do
ing time. Colonel Gaynor, by the grace
or tne department or justice, nas Been
for some weeks the star guest at this
summer resort, surrounded by all the
luxuries that money can buy.
And not content with the gracious
ness thus far accorded him, Gaynor has
put in an application to tne department
of Justice to be allowed to have a sea
voyage. The fate of this last applica
tion is not known, but. Judging bv the
past, many are prophesying that a sea !
voyage win De accoraea oaynor and that
the graclousness of the government may
be equal to offering him the presidential
yacht Mayflower, la which to make tha
xaraaa. ... '
