These .families arecoming West in connection with the immigration movement recently inaugurated by the Harriman lines, whereby they are endeavoring to induce the people of the over-crowded East -to come West and grow up with the country. Literature Was Circulated. For some time the railway, has been circulating throughout the East literature supplied by the road and boards of trades or other organ izations of Oregon, descriptive of the country, its resources and the oppor tunities for investment to be found here. Many people who wished to better their condition have received this literature and decided to come and see for themselves the beautiful country so graphically described, the colony coming tonight being the first fruits of the movement. They Have Money. Nearly all these people are well supplied with money as most of them sold out nice places in the East and brought the money West to invest with the hope of obtaining better and more rapid returns.

OREGON It now seems possible that Tracy and Merrill may be intending to strike into Oregon and perhaps into the Grande Ronde valley with the outlaw band which they are reported to be organizing'in the vicinity of Se attle. This belief is brought about by the fact that the three men who were arrested at Renton oa suspicion of being" accomplices of Merrill in as sisting Tracy to elude the officers of the law, have peen ppsitively identi fied by the keeper of the boarding house for the Grande Itonde Lumber Company at. Perry, as" having been employes of the company for a long time: and having been regular atten dants af her table Jor .many, months past ' " , WorkMf -for Lumber Company. Rltche and the two men, -wbO), were with him at Renton are declared by the woman who runs the .company boarding- house at Ferry, 'to have worked at the .mill and in thei woods forjthe 'Grande Rondgujitfer. Jgom- pany tor two or inree yearn pau -A short time 'Since' they quit and went to. La Grande, where the got .on ' a' big drunk and .claimed to have blown in all their earnings.-1 ?At least 'they japeared at the boarding house afterward and begged a meal. They Went to Seattle. -They told; the wosaaa, i charge that they were going to Seattle and lefUou.fjalshttria. .Within jl lew days they turned up at Renton and were jailed on suspicion of assisting Tracy. The men were none too reliable in their actions and character while at Perry and were freely suspected of being above no crime to accomplish their ends. More Accomplices In Valley. It Is believed that Tracy may have more accomplices in that neighbor hood, as there are known to be many tough characters, such as Hill, the ex-convict who was shoe by an ofl. cer in La Grande last week, and others who would be only too glad to assist tho desperado to escape and enlist under his standard should be set up his .banner of outlawry in the uruuue nuuuo, Desperadoes Worked There. It is also declared by the people about the' mill that Both Tracy and Merrill are. believed to" have been employed there several years ago, al though under different names, their pictures published in the papers be ing identified as .those- of n who worked at the mill years ,ago, and who were known to ' be desperate characters. Should this prove true, It would add strength to the possibility of the outlaws beading this way, as they would be acquainted with the coun try and all its tough characters. Oregon may yet have a reign of desperadolsm which will outrival the doings of Jesse James. WENT FROM EIGHTY-SIX TO EIGHTY-ONE AND A HALF.
