C. defeated Pacific University at Corvallis Saturday 4!) to 0. Only once was P. U. able to make yardage. The field was heavy and consequently the game slow. Wolf by a 53-yard kickoff plac ed the ball in the arms of the pu pils of Archie Hahn. After two unavailing downs Pacific punted back for twenty yards where Wolf got the ball and came back half the distance. The oval was pushed over Pacific's line in less than five minutes. Pacific then kicked to Jamison, who carried the ball twice for good gains. Hennett broke through for a 40 yard run and placing the ball on Pacific's 30-yard line from where Wolf made a place kick. In the first half O. A. C. made one place kick, three touchdowns and kicked two goals. The score was 2i) to 0. In the second half four touch downs were made and three goals were kicked. as well as his pride, as it should be to the city depositor, and usu ally is. to see his bank not only make a fair showing, but to tm farther and even present a first class showing. The present emergency, like all emergencies, will show the kind of stuff of w hich different people are made. It is a good time for every man to make are cord for good sense and jvitriot ism. The Portland banks, con servative, strong and absolutely solvent, have been the bulwark of the country banks of the Northwest and of the local busi ness men. The test of apprecia tion is now up to the country banks and local depositors. The worst seems to be over, too. . Topoka (Kan.) Journal: Now Tillamook county received a rude shock this (Thursday) morn ing when it became known that all worK in tiie construction of the Pacific icaiiw & NaviVntinn Company's road into this county was stopped and that not a wheel was moving today. Suspension of work will, however, be tem porarily, but it may be that ac tive work will not be resumed until next spring. The Pacific Railway and Navigation Company is under contract with the right of way committee to have fifteen miles of the road completed this year, and the road completed and in operation between Tillamook City and Hillsboro by the 31st of December, 1908, giving a bond of $20,000 that the company would comply with the contract Ow ing to the work being suspended, and the first fifteen miles of the road not being completed, Mr. Lytle could be made to forfeit the amount of the bond, unless he can show good cause. It is true that the railroad was being constructed under great disad vantage, owing to the difficulty in procuring men, who have been coming and going all summer, but there are a large number of persons in the county who have predicted what took place today. No doubt, taking advantage of the condition of the money mar ket in the East, Mr. Lytle was forced to close down temporarily until the money and labor situa tion is on a safc,;an4 surer basis. No one should feel at all alarm ed, for the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company's railroad will be built and completed. Ov er $200,000 have already been ex pended upon its construction in this county, and upon permanent work. The shut down will pro bably delay the time somewhat in having the railroad completed, but with different conditions next spring it may be that Mr. Lytle will be able to get the road fin ished on time.

Thornburgh died at rorest Grove Sunday afternoon of heart failure incident to senil uy, in nis ytjtn year. lie was born in Tennessee May 8, 1812, where he lived until 1841, then, with his family, moved to Keo kuk, la., where he resided twen- ty-nve years; then moved to Washington county, where he has resided ever since. In 1828, in Tennessee, he was married to Miss Priscilla Mills, who died at Forest Grove in 1901, aged 89 years. Two sons. Clark C.

No Clew Yet. Baker City. Or.. Nov. 4. -So complete has been the getaway made by the assasins of Harvey K. Brown that not a trace has been discovered by which the of ficers may ascertain the identity of the criminals. Since Brown was blown up at his trate on the evening of September 30. several detectives have been at work on the case, without any result be ing obtained, and officers are now as much in the draw as they ever were. The Thiel Detective Agency was the first employed on the case and Captain Swain, head of the Spokane branch, was put in charge of the work here but fail ed to obtain any knowledge of the identity or whereabouts of the assasins. After the Thiel agency, the Pinkertons were se cured to try to unravel the mys tery, but, much to their chagrin and that of the citizens of Baker City, they have "fallen down" as hard as any one else. There have been dozens of sleuths working on the case because of the reward of $10,000 offered for the capture and conviction of the assasins. Frank Tucker, ar rested about two weeks after the murder for having made the statement that he knew the guil ty parties, is still confined in the county jail, but the officers have found that his story was merely the imaginings of a liquor-crazed brain. It seems to be the gener al opinion that the guilty parties escaped immediately after the crime was committee and are now far away from Baker City. QTillamookers have had so many surprises in regard to a railroad tapping this country, we do not think for one moment that a small thing like stopping work on the railroad will ruffle them in the least -Tillamook Headlight NEWS FROM ABSENT FRIENDS THEY ARRIVE IN THE COtDCN STATE SAftLY AND WELL. VV. E. Thorne Writes of His Trip to San DteaoPleased With the Country and Climate. Under date of October 27, W. E. Thorne writes to The Inde pendent from San Diego, Cali. In view of the fact that on Sun day morning last the report flew over town like wildfire that "Grandpa" Thorne had died sud denly of heart failure in Califor nia, and as the rejwt had no foundation whatever, this letter will be all the more interestincr. The rumor probably originated at the time the announcement of the death of O. C. Thornbunr of Forest Grove, was made. In the letter referred to,. Mr. Thorne says: "You asked me to write to you something about Southern California, and I mail you some printed matter about San Diego and its present and future pros pects. It is a fine description: just as I see it. We had a fine trip down from Portland. We Btayed two days in Los Angeles. Went to Passadena and took the baloon trip of 70 miles out to the coast and back. It was a splen did trip, as a guide accompanied each car and pointed out each place of interest, which we were passing all the time. We reached the end of our journey on the 23rd, making eight days from Hillsboro. We like it here very much. There are plenty of oranges, lemons, figs, grains and other fruits in sea son. We are located eight miles from the beach at San Diego. The electric car line is now four miles from our place and build ing this way, and when complet ed will pass close to our place. The fare is 5 cents. The steam railroad passes just two miles from us. Land is held at $200 to $1,000 an acre alone the electric car line. Father and mother stood the trip well and seem to be well pleased with our new home. which is five miles from Normal Heights, on a fine road. Hoping this will find everybody at Hills boro well, I will say good bye. Our address is San Diego, San Diego county, California, R. F. D. No. 1, box 38. Fruit Growers' Association.
