HE IS GUILTY
SAYS THE JURY
I
HEMBRCC CONVICTED
Of ManslaugMr--Aeeust f Kill
Ing Wife and Daughter mn4
Burning Their Beellea.
Tillamook, Or., July 30. Retir
ing Saturday afternoon, wrangling
all night and most of yesterday, its
deliberations consuming more than
twenty-tour hours, the jury in the
case ol A. T. Ilembree returned a
verdict of manslaughter against the
defendant yesterday afternoon
The outcome is what is known as a
compromise verdict. It is said that
when the deliberations first began
it looked as though a hung jury
would be the result, and that when
the first ballot was taken it stood
nine for a verdict of murder in the
first degree, and three for acquittal.
Ilembree was finally given the bene
fit of the doubt by several of the
jurymen who were reluctant to sen
tence him to death, notwithstand
ing the revolting crime and the
strong circumstantial evidence pro
duced against him
The crime for which Ilembree
was lound guilty is alleged to have
occurred at the Ilembree home at
Sand Lake, December 28 last. The
defendant was accused of killing
and burning the bodies of his wife
and 1 6-year-old daughter. The
supposition is that the ' daughter's
death was the result of an unnatur
al operation performed by the fath
er, and that in order to prevent his
., - , ,
wife telling of the crime Ilembree
muraerea ner. Tne bodies were
Ada a .
then incinerated in a stove, after
wards the cabin being set on fire to
bide all evidence of the crime.
Before the tragedy, however, Hem-
ciree naa sent am two young sous to
a relatives home for the night. He
. ... ... . ' .
fn..ivu Ml, m UClgULAJI 9 cuiiy
next morning dressed only in his
underclothing, and in a rambling
manner told of the fire at his home,
and that his wife and dauzhter
were unable to escape and met ac
cidental death.
While the testimony was all cir
cumstantial it was of so strong a
nature that many who were present
at the trial believed that if the high
est penalty was. not meted out an
acquittal would follow.
The defendant stoutly maintained
his inocence, and the testimony of
the two small sons of Ilembree was
the principal evidence introduced.
The boys testified that after the
fire they found some bones which
they threw in the - direction ol the
stove, and the defense laid stress
upon the fact that these bones found
lodgment in the stove.
The prosecution attempted to
show that the bodies and bones
could not have been so badlv
charred by the burning of the
house, and contended that an effort
had been made to burn them in the
stove before the house was set on
fire.
Ilembree exhibited much ner
vousness during the entire trial.
They Were Cooing and Billing.
"Love was smeared all over the
car on the return trip of the New
port excursion Sunday evening.
About half a dozen couples of 1 6 to
1 8 summers forgot all about the
presence of other passengers and
yearned for each other with a yearn
fulness that was positively pathetic.
One maiden and her beau of not
more than 19 summers each took
turns about sitting on the other's
lap and leaning on each other, par
sing a swift kiss back and forth
when they thought the rest of the'
car was not looking. Another fair
haired damsel made thf journey of
sixty odd miles to Corvallis on the
lap ansl bosom of her youthful beau
of not more than 17. Still another
with the sympathy of a sick kitty,
and in utter abandon as to appear
ances, sat with her arms around
the neck of her beau, while he,
with an air of complacency, sat
through the ordeal wholly undis-
turbed and apparently unaware of
the vulgar gaze of passengers unac
customed to such affectionate exhi
hitinna. In nne seat he and
got to talking baby talk to each
other which seemed to be a sort
mixture of the humming bird court
ship and the wail of two dying
calves. An old codeer stuck
head in the rear of the car and.
alter catching a glimpse of the situa
tion remarked, "Everybody sleeps
but father." Just then the train
ploughed into a tunnel and after
giving vent to a sound like a cow
drawing her foot out of the mud,
he shut the door and disappeared,
much to the disgust of those in
love and the amusement of those
out of love." Cor vallis Times.

Yesterday. II who witnessed th opaulng of
th transcontinental through llu of th Chicago
North-Westeru, I'nlon Pacific, and Southern
Paclflo railways, met with such conditions ot
travel as it now seems Imposslbl ever existed.
Double tracks were unknown; slngls tracks war
laid wherever rgineers determined that water
courses had been, or were; littl or no ballast
ww used, and grades were laboriously climbed.
In many places so rapidly was construction
work pushed that tracks wore laid without turn
ing tb pralrl sod. Tb entire West was crying
for rapid transportation, and mountain and
rang were ready for the development work of
tb pioneer. Tb ox train waa too slow, the
steam bora was needed. Builders could not
wait for, or did not know of, those niceties of
comfort that make twentieth ceutury traveling a
constant pleasure.
Coaches wer somewhat improved In style over
tbos of De Witt Clinton's time, which took their
ibape and space accomodations from the stage

and aisles cramped, th cars short and narrow.

aflbrded some light at night, or, belug extin

odors. House stoves, supposed to heat car In
teriors In the Winter, either roanted or froze tb
unfortunate tourists. Englues weresmall-cylln
dared, possessed small hauling capacity,
wheeled and leaked, spread the earth with cln
ders and did their best as pioneers to perform
their duty.
Fast time, as speed Is now calculated, was un
known. Passenger trains averaged from eight
een to twenty-two mile an hour; freight trains of
fifteen cars were oontenl with ten and twelv
miles an hour. Th air brake had not com, nor
th mogul engine, nor modern buffers aud coup-
Hugs. The band brake and the muscle of train
employes checked speed. Bridges were of wood;
rails of iron; ballast, plain earth; fuel, wood
from the forests. Slgual towers, semaphores,
bell switches, automatic warnings, and electric
safety devises were unheard of. Even the tele
graph service was yet undeveloped and the al
most cautlou was neceary to prevent disasters.
Passengers dined at way stations; the smoker
of th train was a rude affair. Buffets, sleeping
cars, parlor ears, compartments for privacy,
wer not even discussed In the press of the day.

MUCH BETTER
THAN IOWA
IS OREGON FOR DAIRYING.
Prof. McKay Tells Why Farmers
Should Pay Greater Attention
to the Dairy.
Only a' small audience greeted
Prof. G. F. McKay, of the Iowa
State ARricnUura! College at tu
court house last Friday night. The
meeting was well advertised, but at
this time of the year farmers are
very busy, and it is almost impossi
ble for them to spare the time to
attend to anything but their farm
work. The professor was accom
panied by J. W. Bailey, state food
commissioner; Professor F. L. Kent,
of Corvallis, and II. K. Lounsberry,
of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company and his address, "Dairy
ing and the care of Milk," was lis
tened to with marked attention.
Briefly the professor said, among
other things:
"You have the advantage of
Iowa in climate conditions, not
having the extremes here either in
summer or winter, and this is quite
important in handling cream, butter
and the other products of the dairy.
My investigations of the dairy con
ditions here have convinced me
that Oregon, with proper develop
ment, can become the greatest milk
producing country in the world,
even surpassing the output ol the
west coast of England. The agri
culturist adds something like $8,
000,000,000 annually to the wealth
of the United States, and no other
industry is so important, nor is any
branch ot agriculture more import
ant than dairying. The annual
dairy products of our state of Iowa
alone are greater than the entire
gold and silver output of the whole
United States, Including Alaska
The market for the products of the
dairy from the farms of Oregon is
unlimited. You can ship your
butter to New York for 2 cents
pound, and to Liverpool for 2J
cents. But you need not worry
about the market question Alaska
will take the surplus of butter from
this state at good prices for years
to come.
"You are selling hay in the Wil
lamette Valley for $2 and $2.50 a
ton, when this hay from a dairy
standpoint should be worth from
liitojiiaton to the farmer, if
he will only invest in cows and put
other products on the market. The
hay crop on the land doesn't materi
ally injure the productiveness of
the toil, but this is not true of
wheat The big farms of the Wil
lamette Valley should be cut up
and divided and dairying should be
the chief industry of the entire
state. Already we are sending

of the Missouri river, but they
should be going still farther east.
The conditions in Oregon have
greatly improved since my visit
here three vears ago. Your com
mercial organizations should gather
the facts relative to' dairying and
the opportunities presented by this
state and scatter them broadcast
throughout the United States, for
the reason that hundreds of people
are leaving Iowa annually for the
extreme north of Canada. Still
tne conditions of that part of this
continent are in no way comparable
to those offered the dairyman in the
Willamette Valley."

A great deal has been said and
written about the destruction of
burdocks, thistles and other noxi
ous weeds in Portland and not too
much has been said and written.
There are acres of them, in the
aggregate. They are ripening and
flourishing now. There are lots of
them, blocks, of them, millions of
them. Do you think they are
pretty?
The thing to do, and it ought to
be done now, is to destroy these
noxious, noisome weeds, all over
town. Cut them down! Burn
them up!
Plant potatoes and sweet peas or
sow lawn grass anything decent
and clean and sweet, but kill the
weeds.
We said this is an "important
duty." It is. Every good citizen
should help perform it.
Let us have a holocaust of bur
docks, a hallelujah of comsumed
thistles, a resurrection of roses,
sweet peas and gteen grass, a won
der ot clean ,vacant lots!
Clean up! Portland is a splend
id city. It ought to be proud of
itself. It owes it to itself, and
every person within its wide gates
owes it to himself to
Clean up! .
Get rid of the weeds. Let's do
it this summer
