"HARRY ORCHAltlVS" BOYHOOD.
Murderer of Stciincnberg Black Sheep
' in a Il-MccUiblc Family. .
An Ontario, Canada, paper says of
the boyhood of ''Harry Orchard," or
Alfred Horsley, the murderer of Gov-
eraor Steunenberg of Idaho:
Alfred Horsley, who lately has as
sumed the name of Harry Orchard,
nns turned out to be a black sheep
of a respectable family the Horsleys
who live In a quiet hamlet named
Wooler. less than 100 miles each of
Ontario, Canada. Like many another
tour corners," the Inhabitants spent
their evenings In card playing, a pas
rime for which Alfred Horsley devel
oped a marvelous taste. He soon be
came known as a winner, the game of
chance In his case soon associating
with it the gambling spirit.
Hnwever. he necessarily turned his
attention to some form of occupation,
and' as Wooler Is situated In one of
the best dairy districts In the province,
he qnlte naturally became a cheese
maker, working at Wooler und later
In Brighton, eight miles south.
While In the latter factory a fire
occurred which destroyed the premises
though not until after all the cheese
had been removed. By this time
Horsley had done enough questionable
acts In life to make It easy for the
public to suspect him. An Investiga
tion of the fire was held, but nothing
came of It.
Horsley wns looked upon as a good
cheesemaker and Is described as a
"hustler." He had an offhand man
ner and made friends easily, but, as
one who knew him says, he did not
Improve upon acquaintance.
Early In his youth he nroused the
anxiety of his parents, and probably
It is fortunate that they are dead and
unconscious of the tale of butchery
which their son hits been unfolding.
He elft Canada In 1856, going at
that time to Vancouver. It Is said he
went with n woman who later return
ed to her husband. Horsley's wife
was loft at Wooler, deserted, and has
lived there up tn this spring, where
she has supported herself by working
in an evaporator factory nnd for
farmers. She has one little girl.
One brother lives at Wooler, where
he Is highly respected. A telephone
message from Brighton Indlcntea that
Horsley has a married sister living
there. "Even as n boy," snld a resi
dent of Brighton, "Horsley showed the
spirit of a gambler, nnd he was al
ways very fond of gambling."
It Is snld that tho woman with whom
Horsley disappeared belonged to
Campbellford. She was away only a
month.
SEEK TO EVADE THE LAW.
Sunday Closing Causes Loud Com
plaint In Portland.
Saloonmen of Portland are still
searching for a knothole In John Man
ning's Sunday closing lid large enough
for them to crawl through Into an
open town, says the . Oregon Dally
Journal,
Hotel men and restaurant proprie
tors are Joining in the search, but Mr,
Manning Is calm In the face of the
storm and It Is given out that Mult
nomah county Is closed to stay olosed
during the remainder of the Man
ning administration. - '
It la now being argued by the liquor
DEDICATED
Interests that the enforcement of the
Sunday closing la-.v will put 60 saloons
out of business In Portland alone,
while the number may be greatly In
creased throughout the county.
It la stated by members of the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers' association
that there are 60 saloons. If not more
in Portland at the present time not
making more than a net Income of
$100 a month. The adoption of the
$800 liquor license ordinance which
has Just gone Into effect will, accord
ing to- the .argument, cut this $100
down to $75 a month of net Income.
The Sunday closing law will add the
last straw by cutting the gross receipts
some 20 per cent and force the pro
prietors into other lines of business.
MAY BE 1LARRIMAN LINE.
Nnrjh Const Survey Shows Possible
Ownership of Iload.
F. S. Clark, engineer for the North
Coast, started a crew yesterday near
Two Rivers to survey a line from
the Columbia river to Walla Walla.
Indications now are that the road
will run through Juniper canyon
about a mile east cf Wallula until It
strikes the O. R. & N. track, about
three miles from Walluli.
That line will probable be used for
a distance of Mx miles to the point
where It starts to ascend Divide hill.
It Is thought the line from this
point will follow the water grade for
about four miles, where it will again
connect with the O. R. & N. near
Totichet nnd proceed thence hy that
track to Walla Walla.
This would bear out the theory
that the North Coast is a Harrlman
proposition.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRYING
TO HANDLE FRUIT CROP,
Increase of Oregon Traffic Makes
Large Number of New Cars Neces
sary Twenty-Five Cars Per Day
Now Coming Out of the Factories.
New York, June 17. To keep ahead
of the rapidly Increasing srowth of
California fruit shipments the South
ern Pacific is now having built 6600
of the largest, most scientific and most
expensive refrigerator cars that have
eter been turned out. A large number
of cars of this lot are now In use.
They are coming out of the shops at
the rate of 25 per day and, as the de
mand increases, additional equipment
will be added to the 6600.
All-the-year-around demand for or
anges has Increased to such magnitude
that the California growers have found
it necessary to propagate more very
early and very late varieties, until
now there Is not a day in the year In
which citrus shipments are not made
from the state. The bulk of the fruit,
however, Is handled between January
1 and July 1.
Some 20,000 cars hnve been shipped
this season and there remain about
8000 ears to move, which are now go
ing at the rate of 125 cars pep day.
On account of the Increased acreage
that Is coming Into bearing, next sea
son's crop Is estimated at about 35.
000 cars, the movement of which will
begin In November.
To the orange and lemon shipments
are constantly being added larger
quantities of small fruits which this
year will reach 7000 carloads. Three
thousand cars of vegetables have also
come eastward from California In the
past season. Owing to the high tem
peratures in which California fruit Is
londed, and Its extremely perishable
nature, the railroad company must
give the most perfect service to handle
such products successfully.
From the first carload of Califor
nia fruit shipped eastward- In 1869
the orange, lemon and grapefruit
shipments alone have grown to 30.
000 carloads, valued In one season as
high as $27,000,000. This has been
made possible mnlnly by the refrig
erator car. In the most Improved
types of which now being built for the
Harrlman lines the temperature does
not change more than two degrees in
10 days.
Remember the Sloonm Disaster.
New York!" June 15. Relatives

A big timber deal has been put
through In the Coeur d'AIenes where
by the Cameron Lumber company has
secured control of practically the en
tire tract of heavy timber land on
the north fork cf the Coeur d'Alene
river. The exact acreage nnd the
prices paid have not been given out,
but four deeds filed at Wallace show
that one tract nf 4480 acres were
purchased for $41,503.'
Lake Kahlotus Grows.
Luke Kahlotus Is slowly filling up
