idvree us in the very beat of your

Oregon Journal a itiem of which I am
enclosing with this.- I presume you
think us verry foulish for saying any
thing about a happening such as this
is as it was so well concled. But I
cannot stand the strain it has upon
my mind so and 2 have come to the
conclusion that we want to confess
mi pay the penalty -whatever it might
be. So will teli jou everything if you
live us a chance to have a private
interview with you, and you only."
Statement signed.
Testerday when the confession was
made the two men signed the follow
ing statement:
"I wish, to make a complete con
fession to you of my part in murder
committed near Caedahs, Waslung-

have given you a newspaper clipping,
containing an account of the finding
of tbe body and I think my mind will
be relieved by a full and open con

that X am sorry for what happened."

The Southern Pacific lawyer, if he
knew nothing of the facts, made no
admission, but it is understood that
the Southern rarific is the actual
oack of the St r shorn etstern
running out of JQamath FaUs.'Ore.,
which is being constructed under the

a single recognized lumberman in
Oregon was called to testify in the
hearing. And then, as an after thought
he added facetiously that there was
one lumberman summoned. This lum
berman was, in fact, a man who ran
n monthly newspaper in Portland and
whose business bad nothing to do with
lumber.
He referred to Kephari's statement
that Oregon had been held back by
lack of transportation, while Wash
ington had forged ahead. He said
Washington had not the problems nf
Oregoii because Washington did not
have to contend with Bueh large areas
of national forests and railroad hind
grants, lie argued that in the part of
Oregon involved iu the present cas?
more railroads could be of little ad
vantage. Kelly Case Broached.
The ease of Colonel George II. Kel
ly was cited as nn example of the
difficulties encountered in trying to
develop the timber country of Oregon.
He said that Colonel Kelly had con
structed a large mill at On k ride d on
the Natron cut-off. Tbe Kcity mill has
the contract for logging the first
seven units of ripe timber on govern
ment reservations, lie is permitted to
cut but 50,000 feet a year and Hi
yeirrs will be required to complete the
job.
Sbonid Colonel Kelly be the suc
cessful bidder for tbe other six units,
it was pointed out, he would be 15S
years old by the time he would be Al
lowed to finish the work of disposing
of ripe timber from an erea of 160,-
000 acres.

STATEMENT
FROM
MR. PRESCOTT .
I have had several offers from
different parties for the entire
Large stock of women's apparel.
After due deliberation I have
decided if I had to take a heavy
loss In the deal that I would
give the people of this vicinity
the benefit of the sacrifice.
I have therefore placed Mrs.
G. E. Lehman in charge as my
personal representative to re
duce this stock to cash. I have
given Mrs. Lehman only one in
struction: ..
"CONVERT INTO CASH"
I realize there is to be a loss
and I just as well take it and
forget it if such a thing is pos
sible. My loss, in this case, will
be your gain.
I want to take this opportun
ity of thanking Mr. Large for
his splendid co-operation in as
sisting me in converting the
stock into cash. Mr. Large has
retired for a much needed rest.
Mr. Large will not be with us
during this sale, much to our
regret, but Mrs. Lehman and an
efficient corps of salespeople
will deliver such bargains to
you as were never before offered
to the buying public of this com
munity. (Signed) E. W. PRESCOTT

Statement From the
Representative in
Charge
Mr. Prescott has request
ed me to take charge of
Largo's itock of women's
apparel and convert the en
tire stock Into cash. At
first this struck me ta &
stupendous undertaking,
I demurred... I frankly
told Mr. Prescott that I
thought a professional sales
manager could handle It to
better advantage.
Mr. Prescott'g answer to
this was; "I don't agree
with you, Mrs. Lehman.
You are a woman and you
have lived to this commun
ity many years, and yon
know what careful shop
pers will bay and the prices
they will pay better than
an outsider.
"Furthermore, it costs &
large sum of money to bring
in an outside professional
sales manger. Save this
extra expense and give it
to the bargain hunters and
keep the money at home."
Mr. Prescott has con
vinced me and I agree with
him that the saving shoold
be givea to the people of
this community.
I am convinced that mer
chandise at unheard of tow
prices will interest the wo
men of thf vicinity.
We will have the store
fnll of eager buyers the
first day.
Those who grab the bar
gains the first day will keep
their telephones hot pass
ing the word oa to their
neighbors.
Watch for farther an
nouncements. (Signed) Mrs. 6. E, Lehman
