NEW $10,000 SCHOOL HOUSE.
Collctrc Pluce Will Vote on EMliislon
of Facilities In March.
Callege Place will have a new
school building. If the people are will
ing, says the Walla Walla Union. That
the members of the school board of
the district are willing was shown by
their action at a meeting held last
night, attended by four members.
The board decided that the district
should have a new school house to
cost about $10,000, and will submit
the proposition to the people at a
special election to be held early In
March. College, Place people will then
vote upon the question of selling
bonds on the district to defray the
cost
Four years ago the College Place
school belonged to the Walla Walla
district It was a small school, with
but two teachers. But the people of
that town thought they would rather
not be considered a part of the edu
cational system of their neighboring
city, and decided for home rule.
ARRANGING FOR THE FUNERAL.
Body of .Tomes Cameron Will Be
Brought to Helix.
J. P. McEacheron, of Helix, came
down from that place yesterday for
the purpose of arranging for the fun
eral of James Cameron, who died
suddenly at San Bernardino Monday.

the services will be held there soon
after the arrival of the body.
The deceased was 64 years old, and
had lived In the Helix neighborhood
for 28 years. During the past year he
made his home with the McEacheron
family. By reason of his long resi
dence In the neighborhood he was well
known and liked by the people of that
vicinity. He has no relatives what
ever in this country, though he has
two sisters and t'3 trp?h.ers In Scot
land, He never married.
by
trains' BLOCKADED.
OKl-Ume Railroading Recalled
Snow on Telocaset Hill.
Old-time railroading on the O.
& X. Is recalled by the blockading of
trains by snow at Telocasot thlB week.
Yesterday an east-bound freight train
was stalled In the snow on the Telo-
caset hill and the easthound passen
ger which followed the freight out of
La Grunde overtook the freight and
was delayed for half a day while the
westbound passenger which was due
here yesterday morning was waiting
at North Powder for the track to be
cleared, and did not arrive here last
evening until about 5 o'clock.
There Is now about four feet of
snow on the hill and It Is drifting
everywhere and cuts are filled to the
top. While the freight was stalled
the snow drifted under the train and
around the wheels and the cars were
pulled out one at a time after the
snow had been shoveled away.
After the trains were released the
rotary snow plow was sent over the
road for the second time and the track
was once more cleared but the snow
Is still drifting today and the rotary
will be kept under steam this week
for emergencies.
Telocaset hill was formerly the
most difficult section of road on the
mountain division to keep open during
the winter season owing to the high
winds which drifted the cuts full as
fast as they could be shoveled out.
Before the day of the rotary snow
plow, bucking snow was done with a
string of engines, seven or eight In
number, and it was one of the has
ardous and exciting features of rait
roadlng on the new system at that
time.
The cuts that formerly caused the
trouble were protected by snow sheds
and miles of snow fence, but of late
years the snowfall has been so much
lighter that all the sheds have been
removed and much of the snow fence
has been blown down or torn awav.
The heavier engines In use now will
run through deeper snow and are less
easily stalled than the smaller en
glnes formerly used.
Dog Gave the Alarm and tlie Ro
dents Notified the Neighbors Shot
Fired by a Neighbor, and the In
truder Ambh-d Away Dr. Vauglian
Failed to Identify si SiiHieet and
the Latter Was Released.
Shortly after midnight this morn
ing the neighborhood on Water street
near College enjoyed a slight burglar
scare which created some excitement
for the time being. A man who was
either drunk or crasy, though his ac
tions did not indicate the former, was
found attempting to enter the
Vaughan residence about that time.
His movements were not appreciated
by the occupants of the house nor by
the dogs in the yard. The latter set
up a furious barking, which aroused
tho neighborhood.
About this time Mrs. Vuughan be
came alarmed and called to T. C.
Warner, who lives across the street,
and told him a man was trying to
break Into the house. Mr. Warner
then secured a gun, and as the "burg
lar" came around the corner of the
Vaughan house, fired a shot Into the
air to frighten him.
However, the Intruder manifested
no hurry In getting away, but Instead
walked off leisurely, swearing vigor
ously. While he did not stagger or
art as though drunk, It Is presumed
he was either Intoxicated or dement
ed and became mixed as to houses.
This morning Casey, or Davis, the
ex-county Jail trusty, was arrested on
suspicion of being the Intruder.
However, while Dr. Vaughan stated he
was similar In many ways to his mid
night visitor, he could not Identify
him fully, and as Casey denied the
charge he was released.
were engaged In cleaning snow from
a log chute extending down the moun
tain side to the creek. , The foreman
had ordered that no logs be sent down
the chute, but his order was misun
derstood and two logs were sent on
the way to the creek. Baralnca was
struck on the head. HI Bkull was
crushed and three fingers of one hand
broken. He lived about 25 -minutes,
but did not regain consciousness. Hla
body was not even bruised.
McAnacabe's right leg was broken
and he seemed to be suffering Inter
nal Injuries. He was left In camp,
as It was considered dangerous U
move him, and hla friends hastened
to bring medical attendance to him.
It is thought his Injuries will prove
fatal.
Pedro Argtstaen received a glancing
blow on the head from one log, a
deep cut over the lett eye and severe
bruises on both lower limbs. He Is re
ceiving faithful care at the St. Al
phonsus hospital and word from
there last night was to the effect that
he would probably survive.
Victor Baralnca has been In Boise
nbout two years. He Is 29 years of
age and leaves a wife and three child'
ren In Spain. Hla brother yesterday
made arrangements with the under
taken for the funeral, which will be
held at S o'clock this afternoon from
St John's Cnthedral. Interment In
St. John's cemetery.
Jose MrAnacabe, whose Injuries
may prove fatal, has been In America
less than three months. He has a wife
In SpnHn, whom he merrted less than
a year ago and whom he had hoped to
be able to send for next spring.

SPECTACLE FRAMES
Correctly fitted to the face are as essential as properly fitted
lenses are to the eye.
A Lens should be mounted so that the center will be exactly op
posite the Eye. In any other position It will cause strain and have
a tendency to porduce double sight. The Bridge or Nose Piece should
fit so well that wabbling would be Impossible, and should bear
equally at all points.
THE RIGHT WAY Is Just ai easy as Uie WRONG.
WE FIT THE FRAMES AS WELL AS THE LENSES.

SIXTY PER CENT ASSESSMENT.
Direct and Indirect Effects in Wash
Ington. The following discussion of an Im
portant economic proposition Is from
the Yakima Dally Republic:
County Assessor Coonse came back
from Olympla last night He Is well
satisfied with the result of the con
vention, so far as It relates to Increas
ing valuations to 60 per cent of actual
values for purposes of taxation. "I
have always been in favor of this
plan," he said to the Republic, "be
cause It will result In a more even
distribution of the burden of taxa
tion. If the agreement the assessors
made is carried out, and I think It
will be, we shall have a lower tax
levy, and at the same time some who
have escaped taxation to a certain
extent will pay their share.
"I think that If the railroads are
required to pay on a valuation of $14,
520 per mile, they will pay no more
taxes In proportion than our farmers
and business men are paying.
"The state tax commission will
stand by us, and If there Is a disposi
tion on the part of any. of the asses
sors to shirk the agreement, the com
mission will make their counties
plenty of trouble when they come be
fore the state board of equalization.
"The objection to high valuations
Is that It raises the limit of Indebted
ness which may be Incurred. I think
that the next legislature will give us
a law providing for a maximum levy
for each specific purpose, and that
objection will be overcome."
FREIGHT CHANGES MADE.
All Partly Loaded Cars Will Here
after Be Set Out at Tills City to Be
Worked Over.
Following the Investigation Into the
delays of freight on the O. R. & N.,
an order was Issued today by General
Superintendent Buckley that all part
ly loaded cars not billed direct
through to Portland or Spokane, be
set out at this city to be worked over
In order that the freight shipments
contained In such cars may be sent to
their destination with all possible
dispatch.
This will somewhat Increase the
work done at the Pendleton freight
warehouses, but it is thought the new
method of handling freight will pre
vent the annoying delays experienced
In the past.
THREE SPANIARDS INJURED.
One Was Killed In lagging Camp Near
Boise.
As a result of erders mlBunder
stodd, Victor Baralnca met a terrible
death late Monday afternoon while at
work In the Barber Lumber compa
ny's camp No. 6. about 33 miles from
Boise on Grimes' creek, and two
other laborers, Jose McAnaoabe and
Pedro Arglstaen, suffered serious In
Juries, says the Boise Statesman. All
three men are Spaniards.
The first news of the accident
reached Boise about 6 o'clock yester
day morning, when the body of the
dead man and one of the Injured
Pedro Arglstaen, arrived In the city.
They were brought In by laborers from
the camp with two teams. The body
of Baralnca was at once placed In
charge of undertakers Schrelber &
Brennan to be prepared for burial
The lniured man was taken to St
Alphonsus hospital.
The particulars of the accident were
gathered, with the aid of an Interpre

deceased. He says the three men
MO SNOW IN JOHN DAY VALLEY
Encnii raring Outlook for Ranchers
and Miners.
Friday morning there was more
snow in the Jonn uay voney man
there has been In 15 years. Is the
opinion of old-timers, says the John
Day News. Eight years ago on the
27th of January snow fell to sufficient
depth to admit of pleasurable sleigh
Ing to Canyon City, and this Is the
first time since that the snow has
been of sufficient depth to admit of
sleighing.
A Klondike blizzard struck tne
town the fore part of the week and
although little snow remained In the
valley long as a reminder it helped to
Increase the "snowage" In the moun
tains, a foot of new snow falling on
Dixie butte during Monday night,
making now about four feet.
The season so far looks encourag
Ing to both rancher and miner, ann
the prospects are that the water for
mining and Irrigation purposes win
he above the average. Last year so
little snow fell In tho mountains that
the streams and springs dried up and
sheepmen, especially, felt the droutn
A repetition of this condition Is not
looked for this year as considerable
snow already lies In the mountains.
