Corner Commercial and State Street SALEM, OREGON Identity f lto.y Qti-tlMiod. nr..imn fit v One of the most aen- eational ai!Ulavitn has Jimt been pre sented bv Frank Hesse, an auorne of Portland, In which charge arH made that bring into question me Identity of the man whose body waa found at Spjingbrnnk achoolhouse, near Oswego, on September 13, last. Hesse has a client, nerntiarni ttaisi by name, who avers thut the dead ,,. his brother, but thus far has brought forward to evidence to prove this supposition. One phase of the case mat manes it unusually Interesting Is the ract thai tho Heart man had $660 In gold In his pockets. Coroner Holman took charge of the remains anu uirn.-u the money over to the treasurer of Clackamas county. In less than a week after the un known man was buried, Mrs. r.mo B. Robinson, of Hrland station, Multnomah county, appeared and de manded that the remains be ex humed. This was done and she de clared that the body was that of her father, F. A. Williamson, trom tex arkana, Texas, who was visiting her. In his efforts to secure testimony to discredit Mrs. Robinson, Hesse en gaged a private detective to inter view her. Hone to Overthrow Prohibition. r.a Grande Prohibition in Union v,nntv is ill dire danger. When the Aar. first became effective it was at oiroi bv a local brewer. J. Roesch, who asked for an injunction on the ground that Sheriff Childers naa not. Tr,oriv nnsited the notices of elec tion. The circuit court denied the ruinost fnr Iniunctlon. The case rested there, but since the supreme court has rendered Its w0oninr derision in the Grant coun ty case, which is similar in almost every respect to this one, Roesch gave notice of appeal to the supreme court. When the decision is forth rw,,r it is believed that the local option law will be Invalidated, as the Union county instance Is regarded to fanitv nostine of notices is similar to that in Grant county.

It rests entirely with Senator rui- i..t.t-m in,, u-netner joiiu v.-. ion Voting shall become postmaster ui Portland, or whether some other man shall be chosen. But It Is en tirely beyond the power of Senator Fulton to pick the now posuims.ei. fin la rwtt en tilled to make a selec tion, but he has every right to pass upon the selection made by his col league, and his approval is necessary before that choice can uu... infective. To make the amount oi niuu-v j which each school district shall re ceive from the ttato and county school founds dependent upon the number of teachers employed in each district Instead of upon the number of children of school age was the radical change in the manner of the appropriation of school funds urged by State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman at Pen dleton last week. He was address ing the second annual meeting or school officers of Umatilla county. Details of another reclamation project for Umatilla county became known at Pendleton last week when It was learned that a syndicate of Spokane capitalists had contracted for several hundred acres of r ver bottom land along the Umatilla river about 20 miles west of Pendleton. This section is noted for its fine fruit, heretofore produced on a small scale, and it is the purpose of the promoters of the project to divide the land up Into small fruit tracts. Though the land to be developed Is mostly subirrigated, water will be Sken from the Umatilla river to re claim portions that may need it. ...ost Sunday of a man tjy uiw . . ...a nf the loot In his pos- sioCar Portland, Sheriff Stevens la confident ne na i.auh... the three men implicated in the ho d ud of O. R. & N. train eight miles east of Portland. Entrance to express c" was obtained by nitroglycerin, and the express messenger, O. H. Huff was compelled to open the way " fe ' which was looted. The passen gers were not molested and the des peradoes made good their escape af ter uncoupling the engine and forc iJ the engineer to carry them down he Sack I mile or more. That the robbers got but little for their trou pe was due to the quick action of Messenger Huff. Warned by shots S the uncoupling of the two ex cess cars, mall car and engine from ?he rest of the train, Huff quickly nnincked the safe and taking out Packages containing from $2000 to J4000 threw them into an obscure corner. These he replaced with nackages that had Htle value. It waB these packages the robbers got after blowing the car open with dy namite. Some of the Packages taken from the express car of the train was found In the man'e posses sion and the case against Wm U aaid to be conclusive. BARR'S GIFT SHOP Chriatmas luylng at If!
