cloudy skies could easily imagine it was

was looking at.

Congressman IMIib has introduced a
bill to extend the time for payment on
forfeited railroad lands to January 1st,

lands will make a mistake if they place
any reliance on its becoming a law.

all was over.

during the temporary absence of the

and the thief escaped unchallenged and
unnoticed.

Mr. D. W. Hurt, of Walla Walla, came
up from Portland yesterday on the Regu
lator, and is stopping today at the Uma
tilla bouse. He had quite an experience
tin Portland Wednesday night. - He had
been at the theater and was on his way
to his hotel, the Esmond, about 10:30.
He came down Morrison street on the
South Side, and when near the middle
of the block between First and Second
streets, as he paseed the entrance to a
stairway a woman Btanding in the stair
way spoke to him. As he. turned bis
face towards her a man standing in the
stairway poked a pistol in his face, the
end of the barrel striking him on his
cheek and almost punching his right eye
out. At the same time he .was com
manded to throw up his bands. I was
so surprised, said Mr. Hurt, in telling
our reporter of it, that my hands went
up almost involuntarily, but as I am
pretty sick and sore, they went up pretty
Blowly, and I told the gentleman to give
me a little time, as I was stiff. My
hands were not fairly up, before the
woman mude a dive with both bands,
one gfting into each of my pockets, and
in five seconds from the first command
to throw up my bands, my money was
gone, and so were my attentive friends.
They only got about nine dollars, but
they got a safe check for bo me money I
bad deposited in the hotel safe, and I
had considerable trouble on that account
in getting my money. The street was
as light as day and full of people, and I
certainly had no expectation of being
held up. A policeman was standing on
the corner not a hundred feet distance,
and at first would hardly believe1 mv
story. The robbers as soon as they got
the money ran up the stairs, and I sup
pose left the building through some
other encrance. The police wanted Mr.
Hurt to stay and see if they could find
the robbers, but Mr. Hurt .thought he
had contributed all he cared to, and re
fused to enter a complaint. He takes
the loss of the money, although quite
a sum. to him, good naturedly, but avows
his intention of keeping the middle of
the road next time he visits Portland.
capacity. This means the re-employment
of a large force of men and the
purchase of hundreds of thousands of
dollars' worth of supplies of all kinds in
thia immediate market.
"No time is being lost by the contract
ors, who are hiring men as fast as they
present themselves, and no able-bodied
man who is willing to work need want a
job for the winter at wages commensu
rate with the times."

The information alleged that the de

each.
Mr. Taylor, it is claimed, represented

manager of the Interstate Investment
Company of Oregon, with headquarters
at Portland.
The case had no sooner started than
Taylor's attorney moved for a dismissal
on the ground that the statute under

statement concerning the work on the
Astoria & Goble railroad is correct. It
says : ' -
'Before the election, owing to the
free silver agitation, orders' were given
to the contractors to reduce their force
to a point where the monthly outlay
came to a very few thousands of dollars,

a large number of men and teams, and
the withdrawal of purchases of all kinds
