WANT HOME RULE.
Vott at Alaska Primaries Was
Prac-
tlcally Unanimous.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 1. Bringing
with him defiance of anything Governor
Wilford B. Hoggatt said to the contra
ry, Tom (iale. long-term delegate
to the national congress from Alas
ka, arrived in town Way from
Nome on board the steamship
Northwestern. Gale Is emphatic in de
claring that 99 per cent of the residents
of the northland are anxious for home
rule and are standing on their demand
for some sort of legislation by the na
tiohal lawmakers whtreby Alaska shall
be Ireed from the chain, which now
hamper her progress.
Gale haa been all over the territory
and has kept in touch with the poll
ticians and with the citizens. The
primaries were just over when Gale left
Nome, and he says that the majority
cast for home rule was practically
unanimous. He haa with him a rough
draft of . bill which will be Introduced
Into the next congress by United States
Senator Samuel H. Piles and which, it
is hoped, will become a law. If it does
it I. calculated to remove the legisla
tive swaddling from Alaska.
While Delegate Gale does not go Into
details regarding the claims of Gover
nor Hoggatt, he went so far as to say
that the governor s oft repeated asaer
tions regarding the antipathy to home
rule in Alaska are creatures of his own
desires, and of the desires of the big
mining interests, toward whom Gover
nor Ifcggatt is declared to be extremely
friendly.
BROWN AFTER VENGEANCE.
Calhoun's Attorney Alon. Instrumental
In Kidnaping of Oloer.
San Francisco, Oct. 1. The alleged
attempt to kidnap Fremont Older could
not truthfully be made to appear to
have been under those defending them
selves from charges of bribery, accord
ing to Patrick Calhoun, of the United
Railroads company.
"The facts are," aid Mr. Calhoun
"that Mr. Luther Brown, who is a law
yer of Los Angcle, and one of the asso
ciate counsel of my defense, was attack
ed by the Bulletin, which printed
infamous story concerning turn in con
noctlon with an alleged attempt to ki
nap ex-Supervisor Lonergan.
Mr. Brown swore out a warrant i
Lo. Angeles connty and had the war
rant approved by Judge Cook, of San
Francisco county. Older waa then ar
rested and an attempt was made
take him to Lo. Angeles
It was but
an ordinary arrest
It 1. further pointed ont by Brown'
friends that it is perfectly obvious that
it would have been futile to have at
tempted the arraignment of Older
San Francisco connty in view of th
close relation, existing between Older
and the prosecuting official, of San
Francisco county.
Company Building Stocked.
Spokane, Oct. 1. Hillyard, the

pany officials refuse to discus, the high
board fence that nas arisen in a day
and night, but the striker, now claim
that the coming of strikebreakers will
cause a walkont of the machinists. Al

entation of testimony hereon the prom
ise that the defendant would be con
nected with the alleged conspiracy
But there is a time when the court has
to control the order of proof. Begin
ning tomorrow morning, you will con
fine your testimony to the defendant on

ords of the county clerk's office showing

prosecution came at the conclusion oi

LINK OF ROCK ISLAND
Mt.
Hood Railroad Headed for Salt
Lak. City.
Portland, Sept. 30. Ther. i. .bund
ant reason to believe that Portland and
Salt Lak. are soon to be connected by
. new link In . transcontinental nil
mad chain that is to b. forged as fast
as labor and sufficient capital can com
plete th. task.
Concealed behind th. seemingly locaL
electric lin enterprise of th. Mount
Hood Railway A Power company ar.
said to l the matured plans for th.
Salt Lak. project, backed by th. mil
lions of Senator W, A. Clark and hi.
associate interests. t.. r. Clark, or
Lo. Angeles, directing genius of the
Mount Hood load, who gave his per
sonal attention to th. initial work done-
in Portland, came to the Pacific North
west as the personal representative of
his distinguished namesake.
With the secrecy that .macks of the-
previous conquest, of George Gould,
but which, it 'is believed by person,
well advised, la in reality the linking'
nf V Rnrk Island system and the
Moffat railroad between Denver and
Salt Lake City, the plans for th. new
toad into Portland have been practi
cally completed. Though it has been
denied, and will be denied again, it can
be asserted with confidence that th.
lit. of th. Inman A Poulien Lumber
company yards and dock, between Katt
Sherman and Flaet Carothera streets
will th. !. water front terminal of the
new line. Practically all details for
the entrance of the road to the city
have been concluded and meanwhile
engineering parlies have completed th.
location across to the Kastern slope of
the Csscadea. thence southeasterly to
ward Central Nevada to the eastern
terainus at Salt Lake City.
It may surprise some engineer, to
learn that a route has been found by
which the line will make a gradual as
cent of Mount Hood, to the southeast of
tha.t eminence and through to the npper
Ileechutes on a compensating grade of
lesa than 1 per cent, but such is a fact
and the construction crews already en
gaged in the vicinity of Bull Run ami
between that point and FairvK-w will
be rapidly advanced along the route so
that considerable of the heavier part of
the work wilt protwbly be completed
during the winter months.
Aproaching the Deschutes at a point
not far from the mouth of Warm
Springs creek, it will follow up the
Deschutes, cross the spur of Walkea
rwnge ami thence proceed In a south
erly course to the drainage of Spragne
river and thence up that stream to th.
southeast, through the Klamath Indian
reservation and thence In a nearly di
rect line to Winnemucca.
The main line will be built with re
gard to th. shortest mileage and best
route, while branches are projected to
tap the irrigsted districts of Crook,
Klamath and Ike counties, but these
are to follow the completion of the
through line which is just at present
the objective feature of the entire en
terprise.
Kngineers have been over the rout.
repeatedly, parties having easily main
tained the secret of their purrxiee and
work because of the activity of ths
larriman system engineers In tha
same territory.
BORAH JUROR ILL.

The nature of Neth's Illness is being
carefully withheld, but one of the gov
ernment s counsel said last night that
he believed Neth to lie suffering from
temporary mental drangement due to
the excitement of th. trial.
Many rumors were afloat last night
a. to Neth's condition but no author
tiv. statement was given ont. Th.
ay following his acceptance as a juror
