BODY OF WILLIS R. DAVIS
LAY ON PORTLAND HEIGHTS.
Known to Many Pendleton People,
Where He Resided With His Mother
A Brother Is an Employe of the
Reclamation Bureau His Father
Was Once Governor of Maine He
Left an Illegible Note Sticking In
the Keck of Whiskey Flask Which
Lay Beside Hint. - i , .
Willis R. Davis, whose body was
found on Portland Heights Sunday
morning, was the son of Mrs. Laura
B. Davis and with her had resided in
Pendleton for nearly two years. He
is a brother of E. I. Davis, of the
Oregon reclamation corps.
Toung Davis became quite well
known to many during his stay here,
but In the search for him that was
made yesterday no one chanced to
think of him as the one whose dead
body had been found.
About two years ago Davis came to
Pendleton with his mother, and while
here they resided In the Welch cot
tage on Thompson street. A month
or more ago Mrs. Davis returned to
the old home at Bangor, Me., and
young Davis went to Portland to seek
employment as an advertisement
writer. He was a well educated young
man, and his father was once gover
nor of Maine. He was of a genial
disposition and consequently his
friends are at a loss to account for
his rash deed.
I From the circumstances surround
ing the death of Davis there is little
doubt but that he committed suicide,
His body was found on Barnes
Heights. In one hand he held a re
volver, and a hole- in his temple In
dicated the cause of his death. A
half-emptied flask of whiskey was
beside him, and in the neck of the
bottlo was a note which had become
Illegible. Evidently It was left to ex
plain why the deed had been commit
ted. The Identity of Davis was shown
by a baggage check in his pocket.
It had been Issued him by the Pen
dleton office.
CONTRACT WOOL
NO SALES TILL AFTER
SHEARING Tins YEAR.
Grower Are Holding for Prices at
Which the Buyers Will Not Con
tract, Says Charles II. Green, Re
turning From an Extended Tour of
tlie Northwest Ranges Very Much
Iss Wool Contracted In Advance
of Shearing This Year Than Last,
In Both Oregon and Washington.
"There Is practically no wool being
contracted for this season, and there
Is no prospect for any sales until after
shearing," said Charles H. Green, the
veteran woolbuyer this morning.
Mr. Green arrived this morning
from Portland, and while away was
also at Baker City, Elgin and other
wool nurts in eastern Oregon. He
says the growers are holding for such
prices that the buyers will not con
tract, as they must have a margin to
go on when they bargain for wool
before shearing. Between 20 and tS
cents Is wanted by the growers trib
utary to the main wool markets, while
those less favorably located are in
sisting on 20 cents.
Thus far there has been about 500,
000 pounds of wool contracted for In
Oregon, and a like amount In Wash
ington. This is Insignificant com
pared with what had been sold at
this date last year. At that time Mr.
Green himself had contracted for
6,000,000 pounds.
However, shearing will soon com
mence In this county, and during May
will start in Wallowa and Baker
counties. Shearing In Gilliam and
the other counties of that section will
commence shortly after It does in
Umatilla.
Right Leg Was Broken.
Charles Green, a carpenter,
was badly hurt this forenoon by
a fall from a scaffold In the
large building that Is being
erected on Alta street by the
Oregon Lumber yard.
At the time, Mr. Green was
working about the center of the
building, and in some manner
stepped on a loose board, which
caused him to fall 16 feet to the
ground. He struck upon his feet
dislocating his right ankle and
breaking the small bone of his
right leg just above the ankle.
His injury was very painful.
Green's Injuries were cared
for temporarily by Dr. T. M.
Henderson, and he was soon re
moved to his home in Byer's
grove, and he is now being at
tended by Dr. R. E. Rlngo.
Last year Green suffered an
accident very similar in nature
to the present one.

erable work Is booked for the navy
yard In this city for May and June.

nor repairs reported as necessary.

of two or three weeks, to receive at
tention required to complete the in
stallation of those ships, such as the
