Seattle Man Makes a Sure Tiling of
Sclf-Munlcr.
Seattle. Dec 14. The unmistaka
ble odor of gas emanating from the
room of Dan Gullagher. in the A. B.
C. block, 131 J Third avenue, yester
day afternoon, led to the discovery
of his body bathed in blood. The man
had committed suicide after a drunk
en debauch, the cause of which Is sup
posed to be divorce from his wife. A
tell-tale razor, smeared with blood,
lay upon the floor. The throat had
been cut from ear to ear and the ar
teries In both wrists severed. His
second attempt had been successful.
A few days ago the landlady had
foiled his first attempt to take his life
and at that time Gallagher passed the
circumstances up lightly, saying that
he had just neglected to turn off the
gas.
Suspecting something wrong, the
landlady called In Patrolman Rlbbach
who forced the door. Deputy Coro
ner Arnold Investigated the case. No
Inquest will be held, as the coroner
says that It is a plain case of suicide.
The remains were removed to the
Bonney-Watson morgue. The suicide
! was formerly a butcher and lived In
South Seattle. He has been unem
ployed for some time. He was about
3,r years of age. A father. Pat Galla
gher, lives at Renton. The dead man
leaves a wife and three children.

Resolved, by Blue Mountain Grange
No. 4&. Union county, Oregon, That
we are opposed to (he state of Oregon
incurring the expense of building the
portage railroad at the dalles of the
Columbia river for the reason that
we do not believe that the benefits
to be derived hy such building will
j justify the heavy expenditure neces
sary to build the amine.
In fact, we entertain .very grave
doubts whether said road will be of
any practical benefit to -the region of
country which It Is expected to serve.
We believe that the ahkp canal which
the federal government proposes to
build la the only means -uf muterlul
Improvement In transportation facili
ties for the country interested In said
Improvement.
Therefore we recomrueaid :that -the
Oregon legislature, at Its next session,

The Hon. Richard StrwU f ln

clock, which will go for ZS4IS years
without winding.
In this clock a small piece of gold
leaf is electrified by mean of a small
quantity of radium salt. It bend
away from the substance and keeps
moving untli it touches the side of the
vessel. By the contact It lose Its
electrical charge, springs back and Is
electrified again. The repetition of
this process I th whole secret, and
Sir William Ramsay thinks It might
go on, barring accidents, for a couple
of thoustnd year.
Asked If It could be made a reliable
timepiece. Sir William answered
"Yes, so far aa the principle Is con
cerned. Unless it stuck at some time
it would go on and on, and could be
regulated to move the hands on a
clock face."
Sir William did not think such a
clock would be a very expensive lux

on for about 11000, h thought.

Not a pound of the 11105 wool -clip
of the Pendleton district has been
contracted for, comes the statement
officially, from J. H. Owhiu, secretary
of the Oregon Wool Growers' assocl
atlon. In the Oregon Daily Journal.
This declaration practically applies
to all of Eastern Oregon. There is
an upward tendency of the market
over last year, but so far a la known
no offerings bt any kind have been
made.
"The outlook for next season s
clip," -said Uwlnn, "Is' excellent, but
there Is little likelihood of more wool
being produced than last spring.
There are about 226,000 sheep on the
Umatilla and Morrow county ranges.
or 125.000 less than there were earll
er In the year. Hales have been heavy
thousand of head going to pastures
In Nebraska for feeding purposes.'
In the Pendleton district Inst sea
son 2,500,000 pounds of wool were
produced. The lowest price paid for
this clip was 10H cents and the high
est waa 154 cents. At Shanlko, the
heart of the wool belt of Oregon,
where between 8.000,000 and 9.000.
000 pounds were grown, 19 cents was
paid In one instance. This was the
highest price recorded In the state
test season.
"I believe." said Gwlnn. "that
price throughout Oregun will be
mnch better next year than they wer
this fall. The heavy elllng of hep
to outside buyers will diminish tne
output, and a condition of general
prosperity will have a tendency to In
crease the demand. When people
have they money Ihey would rather
pay a little more and take woolen
Instead of cotton fabrics."
The mills of Pendleton use a great
deal of the wool grown In this sec
tion; however, coarse wools are Im
ported. For scouring purposes, mills
prefer the coarser wools and aa a
rule Pendleton sheepmen raise the
finer s-rsdes. Ramboulllet and De-1 The Mormons lately decided to
