Looks LikeaGe This Time--Plenty f Capital Behind It. .Will Work From Both Ends of the Line. It now looks as if the much talked-of trolley line between Port land and Forest Grove via Hills boro would now be built lor a cer tainty. The Portland Journal ol the first of the week publishes the following;, and from information re ceived from other sources, it is quite certain the line will now be built: A controlling interest, amount ing to nearly all of the stock of the Oregon Traction company has passed to the United Railways com pany, a new corporation organized by W. D. Larrabee.M. H. French, J. VVhyte Evans and R. A. Phillips of Los Angeles, who, it is under stood, represent II. R. Huntington and associates in the Los Angeles interurban railways. The com plete transfer of property and fran chises will take place at the expira tion of ten days, when it will be ratified by a special meeting of the Oregon Traction company's stock holders called tor that purpose. The consideration is about $40,000 including payment of all indebted ness of the corporation. At the Oregon hotel Mr. Evans was asked to make a statement de nying or confirming the report of Mr. Huntington's connection with the United Railways enterprise. He said: 'The time is not ripe for us to say whether or not Mr. Hunting ton is connected with this project, Later something nay be said on that subject. At present our in structions are to say nothing. We are here to give Portland some thing it has not and in which it must be admitted the city is behind the times. We are asking no finan cial aid or anything excepting the right to build and operate. We have asked for Front street and we know it is a valuable street. Port land is advertising for capital to be invested here and Oregou is want ing outside people to come in and help develop the country. We want to come here and invest $ 1,000,000 or more and make our homes in Portland. Ii we get the franchises we have asked for our plans will be carried out immedi ately, with ample capital back of them to develop an electric railway system centering in this city. Our principal objective points lie out side of the city and if we are to bring people and traffic in we must have some place to unload and han dle the business." Messrs. Phillips, French and Ev ans have gone to Los Angeles. It is their purpose to return to Port land in about ten days. Mr. Lar rabee remains to look after the com pany's interests here. He was formerly general superintendent of me Ms Angeies & 1 'act tic and re signed about two months ago to go to San Francisco. He is an exper ienced railroad man and was some years ago connected with an official capacity with steam railways in the southwest. Mr. French represents the construction company in the Portland enterprise. He is said to be one of the best-known railroad builders in California and construct ed the Pasadena electric road and a considerable portion of the Los An geles & Pacific. J. Whyte Evans has been for some years connected with railway construction in South ern California and Mexico. Mr. Phillips is the head of the R. A. Philips company, a large real es tate corporation in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles people have filed with the city council an ap plication for a franchise for the use oi streets for the following route: Macadam road to Wood street, on Wood to Moody, on Moody to Water on Water to Columbia on Columbia to- Front and thence north on Front to the northern lim I its of the city, and a branch line on Columbia from Front to Seventh, thence south to college, east to Sixth and on Sixth to Sheridan; a branch line on Everett to Front street to the Cornell road, thence to Pettygrove stieet and the northerly limits of the city; a branch line on Seventh from Everett to Columbia street, and a branch line on Sixth from Everett to Johnson street They guarantee that the amount of construction work ia Portland will exceed 1400,000 and that the road will be completed within the city and an interurban road to Forest Grove within two years. The fact that the United Rail ways company asks a franchise giv ing It a route from the northwest erly limits of the city, with a con nection at Pettygrove street with the Oregon Traction company's present line, and an outlet on the Macadam road at the southerly lim its of the citv. has led to a belief that it is the intention ultimately to connect with the Willamette Valley company's interurban line between Portland and Salem. Decisions on School Law. Attorney General Crawford has recently rendered the following de cisions on points of school law sub mitted to him: t. It requires a two thirds vote to change the site of a scuool building. a. A special school meeting can be called with 30 days' notice, but not less than 10 day's notice. 3. The heirs of an estate pay ing taxes upon the same, although their names do not appear on the tax roll, can vote at an election for levying tax. 4. Any qualified elector who is the head of a family and has child ren of school age or is a property owner otherwise qualified can vote in a district of the third class. If the personal property upon which taxes are paid appears on the assessment roll the payer of the taxes can vote. The proclamation of the govern or dissolving 500 Oregon corpora tions, which have failed for two years to pay their license fees, was tiled with the secretary .of state on January 20, and those corporations are now '"non est." The only way that any of these companies can again be permitted to do business is to pay up all back licenses, Salem Journal. . During 1905 Mr Carnegie's gifts have been $14,099,000, raising his total to $1 15,582,633. .Mr. Rocke feller has given this year $11,635,- 000, his total standing at $61,37 1, 000. ' In the. year's list are four women, Mrs. Stanford, Mrs. K. M. Dand, .Margaret A. Jones and Mrs. Emmons Blaine, who gave at least $1,000,000 each. Miss Helen Gould's benefactions since the first of the year have been $700,000, Mrs. F. F. Thompson's $650,000, and Mrs. T. F. Ryan's 225,000. Henry Phipps has given $1,000,000 for model tenements in New York, George W. Clayton $1,000,000 for model homes at Denver, Joseph Millbank 100,000 for a people's pal ace at Jersey .City, John W. Parm- ee $400,000 for the poor of Chica go, and Mrs. J. u,. llackley $300, 000 for the poor of Muskegon. Ex-Vice-President Morton gave $50, 000 for an industrial home at Rhine cliff N. Y., and to a New , York church. In one case $10,000 was eft to any town that would name itself after the giver, and from an anonymous source $5,000 was pro vided "to explore the human soul." It is estimated that these gifts in 1903 have averaged $137 a minute, phase in American individual wealth that should not be over looked, and that will bring results of vast importance.

M; SNYDER'S MOVEMENTS AS TRACED BY THE TELEGRAM. Said to be Diamond Thief, Bank Robber, and an Ail-Around ' Bad Man Out en Parole. Carey M. Snyder, of Glencoe, Or., was one of the party of three men who left Portland In a two seated surrey on the night of Mon dav December a. the day when j 1 Snvder bade his pretty wife good bye at Hillsboro and took the train for Portland, whence he Jus never returned. This much has been proven by the investigations of Telegram reporters. The three men drove out on the Hillsboro road to within a mile of Snyder's home, when they turned around and started back towards Portland. Their movements from that moment are shrouded m the deepest mystery. It was 6 o'clock on the evening of December 4 when a rather slender young man walked iuto the livery stable of M. J. Driscoll & Co., at 604 Wash ington street, and engaged a two seated surrey to it o'clock that night. "I want a rig that will hold three m aa a or lour persons, ne said in re sponse to the stableman's inquiry, "and we will not keep it later than ti o'clock." His destination, or whom his companions would be on that trip, he did not say. Charles E. Moore was the name he gave, and he paid $4 in advance for th vehicle. The stablemen describe him as about 5 feet 1 1 inches in height, rather slender, with dark hair aud complexion, and over his clothes he wore a light overcoat reaching to his shoe tops. The de scription is that of George Perry, the cousin of Snyder, suspected ot being one of the robbers of the For est Grove Bank on the night of December 1. It is also the descrip tion of the man who left Snyder's rifle and grips at Seal's gun store the next day, as told in last night's Telegram. When the team was ready, he drove away from the stable; the liv erymen waited till long alter 11 o'clock, but he did not return. About 6 o'clock the next morn ng a woman at Twenty-fourth and Overton streets telephoned to the stable that a two horse rig had been standing in the street since half-past 4 or 5 a. m. No owner or claimant had appeared. When a man from the stable was sent out, he found it to be the same team and rig which had been rented the night before. The horses were tired, as if they had been driven hard; a heavy rain had fallen during the night, and the surrey was covered in mud and dirt, as it would ' have been had it been driven over a country road; two boxes of revolver cartridges 1 were found in the wagon bed. Both boxes were opened, and from one six were missing, ine sus picions of Mr. Driscoll were aroused, and he telephoned what he knew to Sheriff Word. Several days afterwards, Sheriff J. W. Connell, of Washington county, began to search for Snyder, and learned ot the carriage episode. The case was not in the jurisdic tion of Sheriff Word, but he told the Washington county official what he knew. Very little was ac complished. From other sources. The Tele gram has learned that on the same night, that of December 4, the rig witn onyaer and two otner men was seen driving along the road toward Snyder's home. The dis covery has also been made that when it was within a mile of there it turned around and came back. One report is that Snyder was not in it then, which gives rise to the theory that he was murdered by his companions to prevent him from divulging information con cerning the robbery of the, Forest Grove Bank, of which he is thought to have known. What was the object of that mid night ride over the country? Was it the original intention to go to Snyder's house, where they could hide till the search for the bank roDDers blew over? The trip there and back could easily have been made by ir o'clock, the time set by the man who engaged the rig for his return. One theory held by the officers is that the three men may have be come alarmed, and fearing that they would be discovered have de cided to return to Portland again, from where they would flee the country. They might have been afraid to return the vehicle lor the same reason. From the information printed in The Telegram last night, Sny der would evidently not have been the sort of man likely to betray his companions and cause them to murder him. He was himself a diamond thief, on parole from the Missouri state penitentiary, to which he had been committed for five years George Perry, his cousin, had served time for crimes of the same nature, and the two were cousins and friends. The man Rogers, who may have been the third party, may have been 'Pinky" Biltz, the leader of the no torious "Pinky" Blitz, eanff. to which both Snyder and Perry had belonged. The theory that Snyder disappeared because he feared to stand trial on a charge of shooting cattle is given little credeuce. He would have had little or no reason to fear the outcome of this trial, as the evidence seemed all in his fa vor. He, with a friend named Dickerson, was accused of shooting cattle belonging to a neighboring farmer. In Dickerson's trial, which came off before Snyder disappeared, it was proved that the plaintiff had actually shot his own cattle with the hope of getting money for them. The same outcome was looked for in the trial of Snyder, which was set for December 12. Snyder himself told a friend, Lacey Nor wood, formerly an employe of the Northwest gun store, that he in tended to fight the case to a finish, as he was innocent, and thought he could prove it. This was on Mon day, the week before he disappeared. In a decision Circuit Judge Sears upheld the constitutionality of the state law of 1903, limiting the hours of work of a female iu any mechanical or mercantile establish ment, or laundry, to ten hours a day. The Laundry Association of Portland will appeal the case. For Sale. Residence property close to business center; hot and cold water, bath, elec tric lights ; large lots. In the city of Hillsboro.

Many Prominent Speakers to be Present. A meeting under the auspices ot the State Horticultural Society, will beheld at Forest Grove, on Satur day February 3, beginning prompt ly at 10 a. m. Hon. E. S. Smith, president of the State Board of Horticulture; A. I. Mason, president of the Hood River Apple Growers' Union; II. M. Williamson, editor of the Rural Northwest; Professors E. R. Lake and A. B. Cordeley, of the State Agricultural College, and Hon. W. K. Newell, commissioner of the First Horticultural District, have all promised to address us. There will be experts present who can answer every question re lative to plant diseases and insect pests. All residents of Washing ton counry, who are at all interest ed in fruit, flowers or shrubs are cordially invited. The advent among us of the San Jose scale, in addition to our other fungus and insect foes, make it im perative that heroic and united ac tion be taken to combat them. These meetings are teing largely attended throughout the state, and it is hoped that the citizens of this county will not be behiud other counties in grasping the seriousness of the situation and expressing, by their attendance, their appreciation of the efforts being usade in their behalf by the gentlemen above named. It is not often that you will have the opportunity to hear, at one meeting, so many speakers prominent in horticulture. Further notice will be given of the place of meeting. II. C. ATWELL. II. F. McCormack, deputy fruit inspector for Lane county, has is sued an order requiring persons who have fruit trees infested with the San Jose scale to spray those trees or destroy them. This pest has made its appearance to an alarming extent since its introduc tion, four or five years ago. Few fruit trees in this vicinity are free from it. Some orchards have al ready been sprayed, and others will be before the buds burst in the spring. The scale is especially bad on cherry trees, but is also found on apple, pear and other kinds of fruit trees. It can also be found on ma ple trees, willows and shrubs of var ious kinds. Fruitgrowers are gen erally complying with the order without complaint. If you want nice jierfumes cheap, go to Greer's. Shoes No better made. No better can bo made.

Fox Lake (Wise.) Representative. Moved by a passage in a play where a burglar, caught in the act, tells a clergyman that the whole world is against a criminal who tries to reform a young man who gave his name as Albert Emerson,- arose from an orchestra seat in the Garden Theater, in New York, Tuesday night, and before the audience, pro claimed himself an expert safe breaker and robber, and declared his experience proved the words of the stage character. His interrup tion, made in tones loud enough to be heard throughout the theatre, stopped the action of the play. He was arrested, and at the police sta tion his statement and record were verified. Emerson has served sev eral terms in prison. Stark County News: A life mem- bersbipiu a newspaper is one of the most recent occurrences in the news paper world.

Minneapolis Tribune: Hooray for the little tot in Chicago who timidly raised her chubby hand and waited fot the teacher to recognize it before she said in her piping voice, "Please, teacher, there is a fire!" pointing to the little jets of flame scurrying up the ventilating flue. "Teacher" kept her wits, too, and the consequence was that every chick and child in the building was out of it before anybody had time to ray Jack Robinson. The fire drill practice, by the way, is a great in stitution. Deserved It. Chicago Chronicle: A jury in Judge Tuthill's court has returned a verdict of $17,500 in favor of the five children of John Hedlund against three saloon keepers who sold him the liquors which made him a drunken loafer and lost him an income of 1, 500 a year. What ever may be said as an original proposition of making liquor sellers pay damages because their custom ers drink to excess, it is certainly according to law in this state. And really the saloon keeper have no good reason to complain, for they can not be made to pay damages unless it is shown that they sell to men whom they know to be habit ual drunkards. In this case it ap pears that the saloon keepers knew what they were doing and warnings and entreaties had not moved them to desist.
