Ten thousand police, regular and special, afoot and mounted, patrolled every section of the city, putting down disorders with stern force. The "riot act" was in effect, and it gave the .police almost the powers of martial law. Mounted police rode their horses ( roughshod' into the crowds that congre gated In front of the newspaper offices to read the bulletins. No gatherings were alowed. The throwing of a brick waa the signal for the clubbing of every man In sight. A dozen cars were stoned by individuals, but collected mobs did not assemble. Hew Thing In American Strikes.

Com pere, president of the American Federa tion of Tabor today in an Interview laid the blame of pillage, carnage, riot and death in the Philadelphia car strike on President Kruger of the corporation which he Seclared has chosen anarch v Instead of arbitration. Throughout the morning, leaders of Chicago labor called on Mr. Oompers at the Kaiserhof and plans were , discussed, for aiding the Philadelphia strikers. The announced purpose of Mr. Gompers' visit Is dls-; cussion of 1233,000 flna Imposed by the federal court in the now famous case of Danburyi Rat Makers, but the labor leader admitted that "anything" might be discussed at the meetings of the Chicago leaders to ba held lata to day and tomorrow.

"There -Was no necessity at allr the loss of rlife or the mutilation of limb in the situation that existed between the men and their employers In Philadelphia six weeks ago," he said.

Rival railroad enterprlsee in Oregon were the subject of Inquiry today at the hearing in the government's Union-Southern Pacifio merger suit Vice President X P. O'Brien of the Oregon Railway & Navigation oompany, one of the merged lines, was asked about the construction of a branch line to Redmond, in central Oregon. Mr. O'Brien said work was being pushed as fast as possible on the branch, which would tap a wheat sec tion and an Irrigated district, of which Redmond is the center. Redmond is located not only in the center of the largest irrigation project in Oregon, but its locators, with an eye to the future, placed the townsite on the line of the definite location made by the Harriman system for a direct north and south trunk line, to. connect with the Harriman road at the Columbia river and running south through the Deschutes canyon to Redmond. Side by side with the Harriman road from the Columbia river, south, James J. Hill, "The Empire Builder," is rushing to completion one of the finest roadbeds in the Northwest two hundred and sixty foot right of way through the entire length of Redmond has been deeded to the Oregon Trunk R. R. (the Hill road). Although no time has been et for the running of trains into Redmond by either . the mil or Harriman road, the race now on, both roads working night and day on their grading, it is safe to assume from the statements of both companies that the whistle of the locomotive will be heard in REDMOND not later than October 1, 1910. Business Houses in Redmond REDMOND is already a fair sized town, and has many business houses, among which is a bank (the State Bank), that has been established for over a year, and another bank (the Bank of Commerce), two good general stores, two barber shops, furniture tore, feed store, butcher shop, confectionery store, millinery store, a good hotel, a weekly paper, the Oregon Hub; a first-class livery barn, blacksmith shop, lumber yard, restaurant, harness and shoe shop, two hardware stores, one doctor, one dentist and a lawyer, one drug store, three firms who deal in real estate. Schools and Churches REDMOND has a very good graded school, with 62 scholars enrolled; good teach ers and a new schoolhouse. We have two religious organizations the Methodist and Presbyterian. Both denominations have a substantial building fund and each will erect a church building this coming summer. Reasonable Prices Property In REDMOND is cheaper than any other town in the Northwest, taking everything into consideration. The owners of the Redmond townsite, who are also interested in the great irrigation projects in the Deschutes Valley, believe in disposing of the townsite property at prices that attract buyers and investors; the company relies upon the development of the city for its reward. Splendid returns always follow those who invest where population is rushing. Don't wait till you can ride to Redmond in a Pullman. Invest now.
