Consideration. ,
iSiltm Burwe of Th'Journl
Salem, Or., Oct 11. Not only is Gov-
ernor West, beginning1 next . week, golnf
to issue statements showing the present
cost of maintaining each office, de
partment and board of state govern
ment, but he irgolng to call on each
officer and head of each department to
submit to him an estimate of the needs
of his office or department for the next
biennial. period. He will then forward
a copy of these estimates to each mem
ber of the legislature and give them out
for publication.
This move was announced today by
the governor, who is bending every en
ergy to acquaint ' the public with de
tails of the cost of running the state
government and to have budgets arvi
estimates presented to the next legis
lature earlier and more systematical
ly than they have ever been Drese'nted
before. " - "
In tha past these estimates usually
have not been In the hands of legis
lators till the legislature met, and then
Jhey were rushed through in one gener
al appropriation bill. The governor
said today he thought this old system
had resulted -In many appropriations
being made that -were unnecessary. He
annonuced he intended to offer sug
gestions to the legislators that the
appropriation hill be grouped into three
envisions, one division lncludlns1 bud
gets for all constitutional offices, an
other including the state - lnstitfltlons,
and a third including the state board.
By doing this, he said, closer insuectlon
of appropriations could be made and a
clearer understanding of them could
be had by lawmakers and. the public
Within the next few days the state
board will announce budgets for all
state Institutions and immediately aft
er the governor said he would call on

Each Time He Took Contents
Himself In Own Drugstore
From Supply Flask; Even to
1910 Handled Ugly Drugs.
(ftpecUl to The Journal.!'
Pasco, Wash., Oct. IX. After consid
ering over night the motion made by
counsel for the defense In the Mrs. Anna
Chrlstensen case, that the Jury be in
structed to return a verdict of "not
guilty," Judge Holcomb this .morning
denied the motion and ordered that the
defense proceed with its case. Judge
Goodman made a short statement to the
effect that the defense expected to show
by evidence that Chrlstensen had been
addicted to using strychnine and other
drugs and that -he had 1 considerable
trouble and worry and that death re
sulted either from an accidental over
due of the drug or from premeditated
suicide.
Tills riask In Drug Store.
J. F. Sullivan, manager of the local
drug store In which Chrlstensen owned
an Interest,, took the stand and testified
to having seen Chrlstensen in his store
shortly before midnight on May 31, but
he did not at that time or any other
time see him fill his flask with whis
key, although he knew that Christen
Ben had done so at various times. Chrls
tensen was familiar with the store and
knew where the various drugs Were
kept, having access to any part of the
store. Chrlstensen had some knowledge
of drugs and their uses, he said. Strych
nine was kept in three places in the
store, which Chrlstensen knew.
A sharp encounter ensued when the
defense demanded that the botUe from
which Chrlstensen Is supposed to have
filled his flask be produced, and for
several minutes sharp words were
passed between the prosecution and
counsel for the defense. One of the at
torneys remarked "Don't worry about
me, I'll take care of myself," whereupon
the court rejoined, "and Til take care ot
an ot you when the proper time comes."
Two Bottles la Bingle Day.
Charles Cronan, clerk in the drug
store, testified' to having seen Chrls
tensen fill his. flask from a bottle in
the store at noon on May 31.
Following the death of Chrlstensen,
the bottle from which Chrlftensett had
taken the liquor-and which still con
tained some liquor was sealed and put
away by Cronan. He testified that he
and Dr. Murphy, Mr. Sullivan- and Mr.
Reynolds tasted the liquor and found
nothing- unusual about it- --
Christeassn's Queer Purchases.
The principal witness called this
morning was Robert Brown, formerly a
traveling man for a Walla Walla house,
who was grilled by the prosecution on
cross-examination for an hour. Brown
says that while he was in Pasco in
mo Chr stefisen asked him to ao
favor for him. On consenting he- was
asked to purchase four ounces of prus-
sio acid, two ounces of oil or tansey ana
two ounces of strychnine ror unneien-
sen in Spokane, and Chrlstensen gave
him J 10 for that purchase.
Chrlstensen explained that his drug
store did not carry the acid, and it
would be Just as well to get all the
drugs In Spokane, but advised him to
get each article at a separate store.
When asked what he wanted the drugs
for, Chrlstensen said he used the strych
nine in his whiskey. He was reticent
about explaining why he wanted the
acid, but said he wanted the oil of tansy
for a case that was bothering him, and
would likely cause him some trouble
1 Biter.
Advised to Bay Anonymously.
Browrt said, however, that on his
arrival at Spokane he found a letter
awaiting him from Chrlstensen, in which
he was advhred to register under a ficti
tious name when purchasing the drugs
and return the letter to Chrlstensen. He
said that this caused him to have mis
givings about the matter, and he did
not purchase the drugs, later returning
tho money to Chrlstensen when he met
him in Pasco. The letter he kept, but
It was destroyed In a fire at Dayton a
year ago, he said.

ED
TO FEDERAL
For posing as a United States naval
officer, C. W. Clark, who was taken by
the police several days ago on a va
grancy charge, was turned over to the
government officers Thursday on com
plaint of Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney E. A, Johnson. .Clark
was plying his unique bunko game most
of the time under the influence of
Uqiun- tad. seemingly without- any - Idea
of personal gain. Armed with a bunch
of fake credentials, with the forged
name of Rear Admiral Coulton on them,
he approached half a dosen auto deal
ers in the city, telling them that he
was here for the purpose of buying au
tomobiles for the government. He was
besieged with so many offers of dem
onstration that for a while he could
not take advantage of all, and on the
whole he was well entertained while
the deception keit up. Then the deal
ers became suspicious and talked to
the police, with the result that his ar
rest followed.
In the examination by the assistant
district attorney, it developed that the
letters had been dictated by Clark at a
local public stenographer's office and
that during his stay in the city he had
been putting up at a 16 cent lodging
house on Front street. His real pro
fession is that of a stationary engineer,
at which he worked in Alaska prior to
coming to Seattle several weeks ago.
One of his letters -ordered him to
bring 20 -recruits from the Portland sta
tion to Bremerton, and another was a
reprimand for not reporting, during his
furlough. Both bore forged signatures
of Admiral Coulton.

JIIVER ROUTE IS
IDEAL SAYS HILL
Tour of Inspection by Party of
' Road Experts Brings Strong
Endorsement for Construe-
tion of Highway. ; :
After a two day trip over a new Co
lumbia river route between Portland and
Cascade Locks, Samuel Hill, president
of the Home Telephone & Telegraph
company, is satisfied that a splendid
road of scenic beauty as well aa prac
ticability, can be built at comparatively
nominal expenditure, providing convict
laDor is used in its construction.
Following his trip of inspection, ac
companied by other experta on .high
ways, Mr. Hill today addressed a letter
as follows to Governor Oswald West,
toacqualnt tha governor with the pos
sibilities of a new Columbia river road:
. Xt. Bltt'i Xtter.
"Referring to our conversation re
galing the employment of convicts on
the highways In the state of Oregon, I
beg to say that I accepted the invitation
of th honorable county court, Judge
Cleeton.- and the county eotntnlaalc-nera,
Messrs. Lightner and Hart, to make an
Inspection of the Columbia river route
between Portland and the east line of
Multnomah county near Cascade Looks
with a view to the relocation if the
highways between those points. In
company with Henry L. Bowlby. for
merly highway engineer of the state of
Washington and now executive officer
of the Paclflo Highway association;
Philo Holbrook, county surveyor, and H.
B. Chapman, county road superintend
ent, I made a thorough reconnoissance
of the line, and in this report we all
agree.
"It is perfectly feasible by relocating
and using existing lines of highway
ana constructing intermediate links to
secure a line of highways on easy
grades and light curvature between the
points abovo named, and If your excel
lency should decide to establish three
convict camps, the line can be com
pleted within a reasonable length of
time and at reasonable expense should
the county court and the county com
missioners determine so to do.
Proposed Hlgnway Is Important.
"I desire to go on record la. saying
that in my opinion the construction of
this highway would do more to develop
the city of Portland and eastern Oregon
than anything which has occurred since
the building of the North Bank road.
It would afford easy access to Portland
and the sound cities for all traffic by
wheel across the United Et&tes. In my
opinion there caa never be constructed
any line of highway other than the one
located along the banks of the Columbia
river which can be utilised to the same
extent
"I do not exaggerate in saying that
such a highway would be a benefit to
all classes of people, but to none more
than the farmer of eastern Oregon,
"Multnomah eounty is exceedingly
fortunate. Such a highway when so
constructed, will pass within the limits
of Multnomah county, going up the Co
lumoia river, nine wonderful waterfalls:
Latourelle- falls, Bridal Veil falls, Gor

ICagie Creek falls, each of which la a
special attraction in itself,
Bcenlo Wonderland,
"Wonderland - objects of interest en
route. Rooster Rock, Castle Rock, Pilot
Rock, the wonderful petrified trees, and
the sunken forest afford a variety and
an attractiveness of scenery in Multno
mah county, the strange convulsions of
nature at The Dalles, and the passage
through eastern Oregon marked by 21
mountain peaks of surpassing grandeur;
not to mention Crater Lake, which X had
the pleasure of visiting with your excel
lency last fall, spread a feast sufficient
to satisfy the most fastidious appetite
of a lover of nature. . . '
tAt a point on the present highway
In Multnomah county near Deevers,
there is a moat magnificent natural am
phitheatre, which provides an easy de
scent on light curvature and low grade
to the Columbia river. 1
. "In passing down from a point not
far distant from the present new Inn,
The Chanticleer, a succession of views
Is presented. " First, looking toward
Rooster Rock east on the Columbia river,
then across the river, Cape Horn tunnel
With its wonderful basalt columns, then
looking down the Columbia over the vast
stretch of lowland and the beautiful
farms of Washington and the way passe
through grove of timber along and
across clear running streams, and o on
down the river with an ever changing
picture,' , ' . ,
Ko Grade Crossings. :
'The proposed line of highway does
not cross the railroad tracks at grade
at any point and leave the level only to
enable tha traveler to vary the pano
rama, ..'.v ' . :
"Our experience. In Washington show
us that by the use of conviot labor, the
same expenditure of money will secure
three times the amount of finished road
which could be obtained, in any other
WAV .
"If your excellency should decf&e that
lt.ls wIbo to so employ a portion of the
convicts in building a highway on an
approved survey, I beg to assure you
that I believe the same can be accom
plished at reasonable expense in & com
paratlvely short space of time, In which
view we all concurred. -
"I shall be willing to give you any
further information desired, and show
you the picture which I have had taken
of the route.""
