ABSURDITIES OF XEW
STATE KOAD LAW
Salem, Ore. So replete is chapter
143 of the general laws of the last
legislature (house bill 81) with am
biguities and contradictions that if
the strict letter of the act were to be '
followed out, now that it is irt effect,
it would be unlawful for any vehicle
with tires measuring six inches or
more in width to be hauled over any
Improved road In a county west of
the Cascades carrying a load of less
than 4500 pounds in weight. Xo max
imum weight is prescribed for this
character of vehicle.
House bill 81 Is intended to regu
late the weight of loads of cordwood,
sawlogs, lumber, ties, timbers, piling
or heavy merchandise to be hauled
on the Improved public highways or
the several counties of the state, and
gives the county courts jurisdiction
to make the necessary regulations by
order. No doubt the Intent of the au
thor of the bill was to limit the max
imum weight to be hauled upon
wagons of different widths of tire to
protect the improved highways from
damage by being cut up. It is diffi
cult to say, however, what view a
court would take of the act as a
whole should the occasion arise to
test Its legality.
Section 3 of the act, after reciting
the powers of the county court in
making an order regulating tht
weight of loads to be hauled over a
certain road, says: "The maximum
weight thereof (load) shall not be
less than 3500 nor more than 3500
pounds for any vehicle having tires
of any width less than four Inches,
nor less than 3500 nor more than
4500 pounds for any vehicle having
tires of more than four inches and
less than six inches In width, nor
less than 4500 pounds for any vehicle
having tires of six Inches or more In
width," etc. From the latter clause
it would appear that it would be un
lawful to haul a vehicle having tires
of six Inches or more In width over
an Improved road unless It carried a
load of not less than 4500 pounds.

GIRL WIFE AXD HIMSELF
Seattle. Unsuccessful In his at
tempt to effect a reconciliation with
Mildred Payne McComb, his 17-year-old
wife of a year, and to get her to
agree to accompany him to Los An

W. McComb, aged 38, shot and klllea
her at an early hour Wednesday
morning as she lay asleep In a sec

3436 Erie street, near Leschi park,
and then, crawling over her dead
body, sent a bullet into his own brain,
which must have caused instant
death, according to Deputy Coroner
William Barthwlck. His arms and
the weapon, an old-fashioned 41
caliber Colts, fell upon the young girl
whom he had loved. The double
tragedy was not discovered until late
In the afternoon. McComb was a
conductor on the Yesler Way cable

The couple became estraned three

IX A SINGLE BLAST
Downievllle, Cal. Between $75,000
and 3100,000 in almost pure gold was
loosened by a blast in the Eldorado
tunned at Allegheny, this county, last
evening. Hatfuis of gold with parti
cles of quartz attached were picked
from the floor of the tunnel. This
find promises to eclipse even the Six-
teen-to-One and the Tightener, botn
near neighbors. H. L. Johnson, own
er of the Tightener, bonded th(? Eldo
rado two weeks ago for $23,000.
The Morning Glory mine, nearby
owned by Rohrig Brothers, has Juft
hroken into rock of Immense value,
big slabs sprinkled and seamed with
gold being exhibited. The owners re
fuse to say what their strike broke,
but it is said to be $70,000.
An old-fashioned rush Is on to-Alle-gheny
from all directions, and men of
every vocation and of every age are
flocking into the district to stake
cialms.
II.' L. Stark, consulting engineer for
George Wlngfield, the well-known
millionaire mining man of Goldfield,
was there some time ago trying to buy
and consolidate the Tightener, Slx-teen-to-One,
Eldorado, Morning Glory
and other rich properties, but Mr.
Wingfield's wealth proved Inadequate.
Excitement is running high.
ALDRICII BILL DISPLEASES.
FRENCH LACE MAKERS
Paris. The free admission of a
certain type of lacemaklng machine
granted by the senate tariff bill in
Washington has tempted only one.
lacemaking firm in Calas to establish
a plant in Senator Aldrlch's state. This'
It is asserted, is one reason why the
bill permits the entry of only one kind
of machine, while nine others used (ln
Calas are excluded.
M. Sayoux, secretary of the Feder
ation of French Merchants and Man
ufacturers, predicts a tariff war of
retaliation.
"This Is an attempt to rob France
of one of her most Important Indus
tries," said, M. Sayoux. "Even be
fore the bill allowing free importation
of this lacemaklng machine was made
public, lacemakers of Calas had been
visited by agents of American rail
ways and steamships, offering trans
portation of their machines at far be
low usual rates.
"Our annual exportation to the
United States of lace and embroidery
averages $12,500,000."

SAYS WESERN JAPS
ARE CHRISTIANS
Denver, Colo. That the Japanese
resident of the west is a better Chris
tian than the one who seeks to keep
him out of the schools and the coun
try was the Intimation of Dr. A. W.
Halsey of New YorU, secretary of the
board of foreign missions, In his ad
dress following the report of the
board before the general assembly of
thp Presbyterian church here.
"I have received a letter," said he,
"from a man representing 1000 Japa
nese In 'various western states. He
says that his people have raised
$3000 for the evangelizing- of the
Japanese, and he wants the assembly
to give a like amout. They are
scorned, but they are Christians, and
I wonder If they are not better than
the ones who scorn them."
The report of the board Indicated
that there are 500,000,000 heahens
In the world who have never heard ot
the Bible, and Dr. Howard' A. John
ston of Colorado Springs smrgested
that for eac h 1000 Christians in this
country to send one missionary would
mean n teacher for each 25,000
heathens, and this would' tie only
equitable. Dr. Halsey grew critical
toward the church In America as he
contrasted It with the missionary
work done by natives In Bltnost every
foreign country. He did not speak
of the missionaries, bvit said that
great credit is due the unschooled na
tives for their zeal for the church.
Dr. George B. Stewart, president of
Auburn Theological' seminary, pre
sented the report of the educational'
committee. He said there was not
such a present need of money as of
insisting on a better moral and n
liglnus Influence In the home. Iff
said if" the influence of the homo
wpro properly directed there would b
a better fitted ctass of men and
women for the missionary fields.
Dr. Sylvester W. Beach of Prince
ton, who formerly was a worker In
the Latin quarter of Paris, spoke of
the work among the American stu
dents there. He said there) were
L'OOO American boys and girls there
when the work was first taken up,
and at that time there was no re
ligious Influence of any sort. Now,

indictment here on a charge of at-
! tempted blackmail of County Trcasur-
er E. E. Quick, who says he has al
ready given them $G00. Blakesley
hn.s ieen arrested and placed under
; bond.
i Quick Is connected with an abstract
1 company that has an extensive set
j of county books. Ha says Blakesley
proposed to him two years ago that
i McCnrty ami Blakesley cracked safes
' of the old courthouse, burn the bulid
1 iiiK' and destroyed the record, thus en
abling Quick's abstract company to
j sell out to the county at its own price.
' Quick says he refused tho offer.Tho
I old courthouse was not burned and ,
' the records were transferred safely to
I the new structure, but Blakesley lat
er secured $150 from Quick with
I which to get McCnrty out of town.
I From time to time they kept extract-
Ing money from him, till finally a
I demand came for $300, at which Quick
balked. This was on May 9. Quick
I Ignored the letter, and a second came
on May 21, containing additional
j threats. Quick told Frank Prescott,

Dear Sir. I am pretty sore at
1 Toots, for he has passed me up like a
j cold chip. Now I tell you, Mr. E., no
i one can do that without having trou
j ble. I met with failure with the last
money ynu sent me. I purchased the
diamond drills and put them Into a
vault, and as It was so dark I broke
them nil. and as they cost $250, It was
a hard blow. 1 have to keep under
cover over here at Houlton. Doctec
tlve Joe Day, of Portland, has been
around here for a couple of days, but
he hasn't seen me. I understand the
grand Jury at St. Helens is liable to
be In session for another week. Whnt
I want is $30O; and Immediately upon
getting this letter send Blakesley out
to Houlton with the money. I have
my eye on a big hand; and am golng

I never had to be vexed at you, and I
don't want to now. The man that I
killed that time In San-Francisco was;

"None can do that nnd live. Now,
Quick, send Toots over this afternoon
with the $300, nnd I assure that within
ten days you will be handsomely re
paid. I Know your- offlctnl' position

easy. Don't say anything to Blakesley
