president of the Portland Flouring

Mr. Wilcox said that the spectacle

"GUNS EASY TO BUY"
TRONSON.SAYS IS WHY
MISS ULLRICH IS DEAD
(Continued from Pae one.)
with bowed head
listened to the
lawyers plead.
Quns Are Easy to Buy.
In reviewing the murder which he
committed iMonday night when he shot
down Miss Ullrich at the home of her
stepfather, Mr. Smith at 1074 Corbett
street, Tronson today laid a share of
the awful responsibility for her death
on the men who make and sell re
volvers. "If guns were not easy to buy," said
he, "Emma would be alive today and
I would be free. I never got in
trouble of any sort until I got a gun.
First it tempted me to scare her. Then
with it in my hand I killed her. Be
cause I was able to buy one, I have
killed a woman I loved; I'm branded
as a convict. I may spend my life In
the penitentiary for the rest ,of my
life. I've broken up the happiness of
my own mother, brother and sister,
and have done the same to Emma's
people. Blame it to me. I did wrong.
I should be 'punished. But I would
never have done it with a' knife, or a
club. -
Pistols Meant to X1U With.
"There should be a law all over the
country to prohibit people from selling
revolvers. The pistol is made to kill
with and hold up people with. Some
of the detectives say I'm crasy. Maybe
I'm not sound in regard to Emma.
Two days in Jail has worked a trans
formation in Tronson. Where he first
wanted to die, now he Wants to live,
although he says he fears he is doomed
to the madhouse ultimately.
Tronson said that he tried to buy
revolvers in Portland during early
August, but failed and then went to
Vancouver Where he purchased two of
them. These were the guns he used
when he met her on the street and
threatened to blow out his brains un
less she married him. This led to his
arrest, on her complaint, and subse-
auent detention tor a lew oays. His
release was effected on an agreement
to leave town for a while and sweat
out his infatuation for her in the har-
vfest fields. The second pair or guns,
one of which he shot Miss Ulrlch down
with, were also purchased in vancou
ver.
BrsiBdat Oresfonlan Statement -xae."
Tronson today branded ss a "lie tne
assertion made in rway mornings
Oregonian that he hadtaken the after-
neon papera to tasa xor criticising me
lax. enforcement of the revolver or
dinance In Portland. "In the first
place." he said, "I did not see any of
the afternoon newspapers ana so man 1
know what they said, and secondly, I
never said It. It was me same aina
of lie they told when they said I'
waited for the abolishment of capital
punishment before killing Emma. I
intended to kin myseii. ana 1 never
once thought of hanging. I don't
know now whether the law abolishing
hanging has passed."
Ashland Has Mad
Dog Scare Again
Several Animals Bitten, by Mail Clerk's
Canine Before Shotgun Ends Its
Career; Head Snipped to Portland.
Ashland. Or. Nov. - 21. Ashland is
having another mad dog ocare. The
last one was in August, r Recently a
dog belonging to Bert Freeman, mall
clerk, went road and attacked Game
Warden. Hubbard's dog and Freeman's
cat 'and snapped several other dogs.
Apparently it also bit a horse belong
ing to" the Clary family, as the horse
shows symptoms of rabies. The dog
then ran seven miles to Talent, snap
ping dogs by the way, and turned up
Wagner creek? where it attacked a
rancher's ddg.. The rancher telephoned
.ahead to Harry Lynch, another ranch
er,' that the dog was. coming. Lynch
met it, with a shotgun and killed it
Just -as' It pounced upon his dog. "its
head was sent to Portland for exami

HARD SURFACING OF
COLUMBIA HIGHWAY
BEING CONSIDERED
i
Need for Permanent Improve
ment Felt to Make Ro?d
Asset of State. .
PLANS ARE AT VARIANCE
Plan of Baising Money Which Will
Best Suit the Taxpayers How Is
Main Xssae.
A matter that -is being given serious
consideration by the committee ap
pointed by the county commissioners
to. make recommendations for the tax
budget for the coming year is the hard
surfacing of the Columbia river high
way. It Is generally realized that the
improvement when completed will? be
one of the greatest assets of the city, !
and that it should be finished in a
manner that is in keeping with its
present condition. ' -
In view of the heavy tourist travel
that will be attracted to the coast by
the Panama-Pacific Exposition- next
season It is thought desirable to hive
the road placed in a. condition to re
ceive travel In order that the county
may begin to have some return from
the large amount, alreadyexpended." It
is the general opinion that it will be
a waste of money to put on a cheapt
macadam surface involving a - heavy'
maintenance cost instead of making a
permanent surface the maintenance of
which will be' nominal and which in the
end will be the cheaper pavement.
Plans at Variance.
While the opinion is almost unanimous-that
the highway should be hard
surfaced, there is some divergence in
view as to the best method to raise
the necessary funds owing to the gen
eral desire, to reduce the burden of
taxation. Some advocate that the
money be raised in the general
levy, while others suggest that it can
be raised by a bond issue.
It is estimated that it will require
approximately a fund of $1,000,000.
This Will hard surface the f!ol nmhia
River highway from the city boundary !
vvuuijr line, t uiaLa.ui;e Ui ov
miles via the S'andy road.
It will also provide funds to hard
surface a road to Gresham, either
the Section Line or PdNvell Valley.
The estimates follow:
Sandy road from city limits to
iroutdale bridge, 10 miles, 1152,696;
from Troutdale bridge to Upper Sandy
bridge, grading and paving, 2 miles,
190,000; from Upper Sandy bridge to
Chanticleer, 6 miles, 1127,545; from
Chanticleer to county line, 20 miles,
4td; rrorn city limits to Gresham,
8 miles, 1120,000. These figures are
based on a pavement 18 feet wide.
The total of the estimate Is 1839,704.
Roadmaster Yeon is now preparing a
report on the road work of the county
during this year and estimates for the
future. He will submit this report at
a meeting with the advisory committee
next Tuesday.
May Xssne Bonds.
If it should be ultimately decided
that it is Inexpedient to provide in the
general levy for a larger sum than is
necessary to maintain the present
roads of the county for the coming 1
SSTVL 1 a Columbla Rlvef
righway to the hard surfacing point
?hSViU Uk TV brlds''t
is probable that a bond issue will be
the burden over a longer period.
'In the absence of complete data the
members of the advisory committee are
Kinable to formulate their opinion. If
a bond issue is -decided to be the best
method it is likely that a special elec
tion will be called for next June at the
same time the city election Is held.
This would eliminate considerable ex
pense. By whatever means the fund is to be
raised there is a universal expression
that it should be expended under the
direction of Mr. Yeon, whose super! t-
tendency of the work already accom
plished gives confidence that it will I
be efficiently and economically spent. ,

WILL TRAP BEAVER
PelU ot Mrs. Potter Palmer's
"Pets" Will Go to the State.
A Ashland, Or., Nov. 21. George Har
j gadine of Ashland, well known as a
hunter and trapper and former deputy
game warden, Is preparing' to spend
the winter at the Modoc Orchards on
Rogue river where he will engage in
trapping beaver. ' These animals have
been protected for many years and
now are becoming so numerous that
they are considered pests by many
people who live along the river banks.
The Modoc Orchards are owned by
Mrs. Potter Palmer oft Chicago. The
trapping will be done at her request,
and the pelts turned over to the Ore

had turned definitely in the Germans'
favor. .
Of military operations, today's offi
cial report said: '
"Great expectations are entertained
from the fighting near Lodz.
"It is generally taken for granted
that the gigantic Russian army, despite
its enormous numerical "superiority, is
heavily threatened by General von Hin
denberg's ingenious strategy and bold
offensive spirit. .
"The Russian retreat has been made
'difficult by the Germans' obstruction
of all railroads, bridges and high
ways. v
"A Russian defeat may - decide" the
whole campaign in the east, as on the
Russian side there are no trained re
serves and a lack exists of arms, am
munition and officers."
It was added that the Turks weri
using mines and sunken ships to de
fend the Snath-el-Arab river against
British attacks. The statement was
also made that a Persian tribe was
inarching on Tabriz against the Rus
sians. RUSSIANS SLAUGHTER
GERMANS IN A TRAP
ON THE BZURA RIVER
Petrograd, Nov. 21. Germany's of
fensive in Russian Poland, between the
Vistula and Warthe rivers, has been
checked, the war office here asserted
today. The fighting was said to have
been of the bloodiest character.
How the Russians trapped the Ger
man cavalry at the Bzura river was
thrillingly described in dispatches from
the front.
It was explained that the Russians.
who had resolved to stop the enemy's
advance at
the Bzura, mined the
stream's banks and withdrew. The
Teutonic cavalry approached unsus
pectingly, seeking a crossing. At this
point the Russians exploded their
mines.
The explosion alone was declared to
have caused enormous loss of life, but
worse was to follow. The explosion's
survivors, horses -and men, plunged
into the river. Its bed was filled with
entanglements and while brutes and
men struggled together, the Russians
rained shells among them.
But few, it was said, escaped alive,
and these were captured.
Owing to the severe weather German
losses- in the present eastern campaign
were said to be far heavier than when
the kaiser's troops invaded Russia be
fore. This, it was stated, was be
cause the ground was frozen too. hard
to allow the. invaders to "dig them
selves in" and they" were compelled to
fight in the open or behind Buch na
tural defenses 'as the country affords.
. The Russians, on the other hand, it
was stated, were prepared for .present
conditions, their sappers being provid-1
