Btone and his wife, who were arrest ed by Sheriff Hammel after the nak ed body of the murdered man was found In a ditch a quarter of a mile from the house, still stick by the story each told when taken Into cus tody.

Shlvely was stepping Into the kitch en when he was assaulted. When the officers arrived the room looked like a slaughter house. The floor and walla were smeared with blood, the furniture overturned, crockery broken and everything indicated that the con ductor fought desperately for his life before he hurled himself through the kitchen window to escape hia mur derous assailant.

Indeed, appropriation legislation Is further ndvanced in the house than ordinarily at this season, and it is the opinion of experts that supply bills will be turned out by the committee so rapidly that the house can give them almost continuous attention in the next two months. The senate committee on appropri ations soon will begin the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Senate committees have not been as busy as house committees and the senate cal endar is barren. ' For the present adjournment of the senate every week from Thursday un til Monday may be expected. Much interest is manifested in both houses in the two announcements that the president's message on the Sherman anti-trust law and the reso lutions of Senator Jones and Repre sentative Humphrey providing for an investigation of the interior depart ment and the forest service will be presented on Wednesday. There Is a division of opinion as to whether anything will be accomplish ed In the way of modifying the Sher man law this season but everybody Is concerned over the terms of the president's treatment of the subject, and his message will be read with un usual Interest. On the other hand It Is generally understood that the Jones and Hum phrey resolutions will be adopted and the investigation will be entered on In short order.

R. & N. PLANS TO STRAIGHTEN TRACK Officials Confirm Reports of Exten sive Improvement Work Over Million, Dollars Will Bo Expended on Road Between Here and Yoa kum. . Official confirmation of the re ports published in this paper several weeks ago of the improvements to be made in the line of the O. R. & N. between this city and Toakum. Is contained In an announcement from Portland. According to this an nouncement, which is made by J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the road the expenditure of $1,020,000 has been authorized for this work. The purpose of the expenditure of this vast sum of money on this short piece of track is to straighten the rood, eliminate curves, reduce grades and altogether make It possible for trains to run at a greater rate of speed. The running time of passen ger trains between Portland will thus be shortened by a few minutes, but several minutes will be cut off .the running time of the freight trains, es pecially those eastbound. . According to General Manager O'Brien, the construction -work will begin as soon as practical and the trains will be running over the new route within one year. The distance between the two points by rail is now 12 1-2 miles. On leaving Toakum the track winds around high bluffs, and in one place makes a horseshoe curve about one and one-quarter miles in length. The route is at present snakelike and the maximum grade is 1.3 per cent. The new line will eliminate In all 1361 degrees of curvature and 48 feet of adverse grades. The maximum grade on the new route will be eight tenths of 1 per cent and the line will be shortened 1.7 miles. The horseshoe curve will be elim inated by the construction of a tun nel through the tongue of the horse shoe. This tunnel will be through solid rock and 1100 feet long. The new construction also calls for two crossings of the Umatilla river, which will be spanned by permanent steel structures, each having two spans 150 feet long. Ninety-pound steel will replace the 75-pound steel work In use. The work is In line with recent heavy expenditures on the O. R. & N. in doing away with heavy grades and sharp curvatures.

Ac cording to the growers and buyers no ilaniaKe whatever has been received and none cun with the present pro tecting blanket of snow. 10 Below at Helix.
