Travel Turns to State Homeseekers
Becoming Informed Before

"We receive an average of about 25
letters daily making inquiries about
the Northwest," said R. M. Hall, ad
vertising agent of the O. E. & N., dis
cussing the prospect for heavy travel
throughout the next two months while
the low- one-way rate is in effect.
"More people are seeking information,
and the tone of the letters denotes de
cision to action, the writers wishing
to be so familiarized with merits of
different localities as to practically de
termine upon a suitable place for se
curing a home.
"The arrival of those who were
ready o start at the inauguration of
the rates is pretty good evidence of the
flood of travel that will pour into the
Pacific Northwest, and from advance
information at hand it is apparent
that the state of Oregon will receive a
large increase in population as a
result."

FATAL EXPLOSION
Curtis Baker and Gilbert McCabe
Meet Instant Death at
Independence.
While thawing dynamite preparatory
to blasting stumps at Burton's hop-
yard, two miles north of Independence,
Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, over
100 pounds of dynamite exploded, kill
ing Curtis Baker and Gilbert McCabe,
young men of 22 and 18 years respec
tively, of Independence. The bodies
were torn to pieces, almost beyond
recognition, and members of the
bodies were hurled 120 feet. The legs
of both were torn off at the knees.
The shed at the place of thawing
was shattered to splinters and hurled
200 yards. The earth was torn up for
several feet around to a depth of four
feet. In a house 50 yards away the
windows and doors were shattered. A
woman and child in the house were
not hurt.
The young men were accustomed to
blasting and had been repeatedly
warned. No blame is attached to any
one. Baker was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. A. Baker, of Independence.
McCabe had no relatives here.
Curtis Baker and Gilbert McCabe
were out on the Burton farm, where
Baker was at work blasting stumps
for Burton. They toad there 100 pounds
of dynamite in two boxes, and placed
some of this in hot water for the pur
pose of thawing it out. The water was
probably too warm, and as a result
the dynamite exploded, and the boys
were instantly killed.
The shock of the explosion was very
distinctly felt in Dallas, Salem, and
even as far away as McCoy and Perry
dale. Windows were rattled, and
many people thought the shock was
an earthquake.
Young McCabe was left an orphan
a short time ago by the death of his
father, and had a tile factory at Inde
pendence. He was down visiting
Baker Saturday morning and was
not at work.
Baker had been dynamiting for
different people around Independence
and it is thought became careless to a
certain extent. It was only a miracle
that two other men were not killed, as
they had been working with the dyna
mite, and one of these started to run
down to ys'here the boys were, when he
was called back by Mr. Burton, who
wanted him to help him at something
else for a few moments.
The funeral services over the re
mains of the unfortunate young men
were held from the Presbyterian
church in Independence, Sunday
afternoon. Interment was made in
the Odd Fellows' cemetery. A large
gathering of friends followed the pro
cession to the cemetery, and many
floral offerings were left on the grave
as a token of the general respect felt
for the memory of the victims.
MACHINERY IS ARRIVING
Carpenters Are Remodeling Building
for Dallas Ice Factory.
Machinery for the Dallas ice factory
is now arriving, and the Portland firm
that is supplying the plant expects to
ave it all shipped before April 1. The
large boiler for the power-house is
here, and will be placed in position as
soon as the building is ready -to re
ceive it.
The old Pioneer barn on Main street
is being completely remodeled, and
the carpenters are making good pro
gress in their work. The large shed
on the north side of the building has
been torn down and hauled away, and
the row of box-stalls in the rear will
be the next to go. The main building
is being thoroughly overhauled and
will present a substantial appearance
hen finished and ready for occu
pancy.
J. J. Fidler, who is putting in the
plant, expects to have everything in
readiness to begin operations on May
He is negotiating with H. V.Gates
for a water supply and expects to
manufacture ice from the clear, spark
ing water of Canyon Creek. He is
daily receiving assurance of patronage
from towns along the Yamhill and
West Side divisions of the Southern
Pacific railroad, and will doubtless
nd it necessary to operate the factory
to its full capacity during the coming
Summer months.
Tom King Dead.
Thomas C. King, aged about 50
years, the faithful colored man well
known to all old Salemites, and who
was for so long employed by the
family of the late E. S. Wallace, died
at the Schindler place in Polk county,
two or three milea below Salem, on
Friday, March 4. Tom had been at
his land claim near Beaver, Tilla
mook county, and had returned only
the day before. His death was very
sudden, due to heart failure. Deceased
came to Oregon from Tennessee to
work for the Wallace family about
fifteen years ago. Salem Statesman.

Pioneer Dallas Merchant.
A recent number of the Oregonian
contained a half-tone portrait of Hon.
J. D. Lee, acting secretary of the
Portland Board of Trade and a pioneer
merchant of Dallas. Accompanying
the picture was the following brief
sketch: "Joseph D. Lee was the
Dallas agent for The Oregonian for
20 -years, being appointed in 1870,
shortly after having been appointed
postmaster of the Dallas office. After
three years in that office ho conducted
a general merchandise establishment.
He was elected a Eepresentative to the
Oregon State Legislature from Polk
County in 1878, and in 1880 was elected
to the State Senate from the same
county. In 1881 he was elected joint
State Senator from Polk and Benton
Counties. From 1894 to 1898 Mr. Lee
was assistant to C. H. Hill, Municipal
Court Clerk in Portland. In the
Winter of 1897 and Spring of 1898 he
went East, where he represented the
city of Portland as an outfitting point
for Alaska. He was reading clerk of
the Senate during the special session
of 1898 and the regular session of
1899. On April 1, 1899, Mr. Lee entered
upon the duties of superintendent of
the Oregon State Penitentiary, which
office he held for four years. He
moved to Portland last November and
was recently elected assistant secretary
of the Portland Board of Trade."
A Series of Mishaps.
The Sheridan and Grand Ronde
mail carrier had quite an experience
this week. Monday afternoon, while
he was going up to Grande llonde, he
got on to the grade just above Willa-
mina and found that part of the bank
had caved in, and he had to unhitch
his horses and run his buckboard out
by hand and go back around by the
Savage hill. When he was returning,
his doubletrees broke twico and he
did not reach Sheridan until 11 o'clock
that night. Tuesday evening, when
returning, his pack horse laid down
and when he got off the horse he was
riding to get the pack horse up, his
riding horse ran off and ho had to
chase it about a mile to catch it

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
Krebs Brothers' Polk County Hop
Farm Will Be Among the
Largest in Oregon.
The Krebs Brothers, with a party of
hands, came up from Salem this week
and are at work on the Murphy farm.
It is the purpose of the Krebs Bro
thers to plow the entire place this
spring and set a good portion of it in
hops. The acreage to be put in hops
will be governed by weather conditions
and the character of the soil as found
upon thorough investigaton. None
of the 640 acres will be allowed to lie
idle. The purchasers bought it to till,
and they will find what it is capable
of producing. The soil will be tick
led and will be made to produce hops,
wheat or oats.
If the greater portion of the place is
set to hops, it means the building of a
number more of hop-houses this
spring, and the many other buildings
necessary in conducting a large hop
yard. Already lumber has been
ordered and men are at work putting
up bunk-houses and a barn. Lumber
is being received from Falls City.
About 15'000 feet is now on the way,
and it is possible the lumber used
during the year will amount to near
1,000,000 feet.
The Krebs Brothers mean to con
duct the yard on the same plan as
their Marion county yard, which
means the erection of store buildings,
restaurant and lunch counter, con
cert hall, buildings for pickers, etc.
The Krebs Brothers place will re
quire a much larger number of men
and teams than they now hav.e as
soon as the weather clears up. The
new owners now have nine head of
horses and want more. Indepen

Of Fast Heart Lasted
160 Hours.
Doctors Didn't Know
What To Do.
Dr.Miles Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
"For seven years I have been troubled
with what the doctors called a 'fast heart,'
coing at once from the usual beat to twice as
fast, which in a short time would exhaust me
terribly and only after treatment by a physi
cian it would get back to normal speed.
These attacks increased in frequency and
seve ity until December, 1901, when they
came on once a week. Each attack would
lay me up a day or more. The attack begin
ning January 13th, 1902, lasted 160 hours
(almost a week) my heart beat almost one
hundred and fifty per minute and some
times more. During this week ray physician
consulted with four other doctors, but all to no
purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and it
was then a serious question with my family
whit to do next; as for me, I was too far gone
to care much what happened. Dr. Miles' al
manac said, "write for advice" and my son

LABELING THE BIG MAP
Uncle Sam's Six-Acre Chart at the
World's Fair Is Made Up of
Plant Life.
Every one of the 5,000 different col
lections of plants comprising the six
acre map of the United States in
growing crops at the St. Louis World's
Fair is plainly labeled. The visitors
will have no difficulty in determining
the name of a certain nlant and at a
glance may learn something of "its
origin, history and habits. In the
great map, the first of the kind ever
mado, are 819;distinct species of plant
life, and each species is plainly out
lined and labeled. This includes not
only a specimen of every plant grown
in the United States, but in the plots
bordering the map are many plants of
all lands.

Government and is made by the
Bureau of Plant Industry. David A.
Brodie is the superintendent in charge
and many of the plants were installed
a year or more boforeithe date of ."the
opening of the World's Fair, while
many of the plants that could not sur
vive the winter were kept in hot
houses, or the seed were not putinto
tho ground until the present spring.

OFFICERS WIN SUIT
Judge Says Court Has No Jurisdic
tion Over Expenditures.
J udgo Boise decided the penitentiary
injunction suit in favor of the super
intendent and warden of that institu
tion, Tuesday. J. W. Jones, a tax-,
payer, brought a suit in which he
alleged that the superintendent and
warden used public money to pur
chase money for their homes and
used public supplies in their private
families. He asked that a restraining
order bo issued and that the officers
bo required to account for the nast
transactions complained of.
Judge Boise hold that the law vests
the superintendent of the prison with
authority to purchase supplies for the
institution and that the courts have
no jurisdiction to control the expendi
ture of money for that purpose.
L. H. MoMahati, attorney " foi
plaintiff, asked permission to amend
his complaint and tho request was

The sidowalk from Dallas to the
Odd Fellows' cemetery was finished
by W. E. Gilbert, the contractor, Mon
day. The walk begins at the west end
of Ash street and runs along tho west
side of the county road to tho cemetery,
a distance of three-quarters of a mile.
George McBee, who owus tho lots west
of W. A. Wash's property, is building
a regulation sidewalk to fill tho gap
between the city walk and the cemetery
walk. This enterprising move on the
part of Mr. McBee, is greatly appre
ciated by the people of Dallas, as it is
now possible to walk from Main street
to the cemetery gate without stepping
on the ground.
