Parents Much Grieved
Peart Anderson, 16 Years of Ase,
Runs Awav From Home With
a Man Twice Her Ase The
Officers Are Notified.
On Sunday night last County
Clerk E. J. Godman was called
to the 'phone by a Portland man
and requested not to issue a mar
riage license to a girl of 16 and a
man much older, who would prob
ably give the state of Washing
ton as his home, The girl,
whose name is Pearl Anderson,
left the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Anderson, of
487 1-2 Davis street, Portland,
last week Friday afternoon about
2 o'clock, with instructions to
get some fish at a nearby market.
Shortly after the fish arrived,
but Miss Anderson has not been
seen or heard of since. She
described as a tall blond, blue-
eyed, wears glasses and when
last seen was dressed in black
skirt, a brown feather hat and
long red coat It is safe to say
that no license will be issued
here, and should she show up at
the court house, her parents will
be notified at once.
The daily papers of Sunday
... T"a 1
gave the girls name as i eari
Smith, but this is a mistake, as
Mr. Godman was told over the
'Dhone that her name was An
derson, not Smith.

The Story of Oregon Fru"-
(Special Correspondence. )
Portland, Ore., January 27.
Working in connection with sev
eral commercial bodies over the
state, and aided by individual
fruit growers, the Portland Com
mercial Club has issued a fruit
bulletin composed of four pages
of the New Year's Oregonian.
Each paper sent out bears a par
agraph, conspicuously stamped in
two pla, telling the reader
that he can buy his ticket on the
road most convenient to him at
a remarkably low colonist rate
between March 1st and April
30th. The $30 rate from the
oTPftt Middle West is made the
striking feature of the stamp-of
nrsp mpntion is also made of
rates from other sections. The
bulletins are prepared in advance
for the use of the agents em
ployed by the various railroad,
localizing the rate for their par
ticular line.
The Mid -Winter Livestock
Show at Denver just closed was
a tremendous success, and many
of the exhibitors expressed a de
termination to be present at the
Livestock Show in Portland this
coming fall. The Portland Coun
trv Club & Livestock Association
Viavfl nromised the Hunt Club
that accommodations will be
ready for them in June, and an
army of men and horses are at
work at the present time to make
this pledge good.
The Pacific Coast Ad Men's
Association will hold their next
annual convention in Portland
during the Rose Festival.
The Oregon Development
League is exceedingly prosper
ous. The mst two weeks have
added three members to the" or
ganization-The Stayton .Com
mercial Club, W. L. Freres, pres
ident R. A. Elwood, secretary
the Commercial Club of Mosier
Valley, with Dr. David Robinson
secretary; the Scio Commercia
Club, T. J. Munkers, president,
and A. G. Prill, secretary.
The Hood River Commercial
Club will hold its third annual
banquet Friday evening. Janu
ary 31st. Delegations will be
present from Portland, The Dalles
and other cities throughout the
state. Newberg will have a
house-warming, under the au
spices of the Newberg Board of
Trade, on February 1st, celebrat
ing the opening of their fine new
Imperial hotel.
The executive committee of the
Portland Commercial Club are
appealing for additional funds to
advertise the resources of Ore
gon, and at no time during the
active work of that committee
have responses been so generous.
New subscriptions are coming in,
former contributors are either
doubling or materially increasing
their subscriptions, and every
cent of it is devoted to advertis
ing the state and not the city.
Complete plans have been de
cided upon for the Oregon build
ing at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, and up to date it is
the most attractive state build
ing yet shown in America upon
the grounds of a great fair.
James Eades Howe, philan
thropist and friend of the unem
ployed, is planning a convention
in St. Louis next month to be at
tended by the unemployed in the
hast and Southwest, to consider
means for relieving the present
situation, which, he says, paral
lels the conditions of 1894. He
declares that in St Louis alone
there are between 45.000 and 50,
000 out of work. 'Our man Rei
termann, who w as beaten in Chi
cago with blacksnake whips, will
be here to address the conven
tion," he said. "Other leaders
from Chicago, New York, Cin
cinnati and Boston will be pres
ent" For Sale.

James A. Hoover, who came
to Oregon in 1SS4, and has lived
near Hillsboro since that time,
committed suicide last Sunday
morning at about 8 o'clock, at
his home, 3-4 miles west of Bea
verton, on the old A. H. John
son place. Coroner Brown was
summoned Sunday morning by
Dr. Robinson of Beaverton, and
went to Beaverton on the 1:43
train. He found Hoover dead
and at once ordered an inquest,
with the following jury: David
W. Gay, L Claassen, A. A. Pike,
L. Tullock, P. Carlson and J. E.
Summers. The following evi
dence was given by Mrs. Hoover,
wife of the deceased:
She said she was the wife of
the deceased, had been married
for twenty-five years, and ha3
three children; deceased had been
well and in good health of late
and had never talked of suicide
or wanting to die. Last Monday
he left home and went to the
school house and saw his daugh
ter, Emily Hoover, who is 11
years old, and told her he was
going to Hillsboro and would not
be home that night Mrs. Hoov
er did not hear of her husband,
except from a neighbor, John
Rice, her nephew, who telephon
ed to Hillsboro t) Mr. Jack to
(enow if ho was - tvre and when
he would be home, and was told
that he was here but it was un
certain as to when he Would go
home. This was on Thursday,
and she heard no more of him
till he came home Sunday morn
ing at about 8:30. Hoover came

a drink of water, which was giv

badly, his wife asked him what

asked him if he had taken any
and he said he had. She then
wanted to know why he had done
so, and he replied that he had
been gone four days and he ought
not to have done so. He called
for his gun and asked for more
water, but at no time did he say
that he regretted the rash act
Mrs. Hoover declared that she
knew of no reason why he should
take his own life.
Dr. F. M. Robinson, who was
summoned by Mrs. Hoover, ar
rived at the Hoover home at 9:25
n. m.. and found him in convul
sions, which he judged was caus

learned from Mrs. Hoover that
he had taken the dose about an

It is not often a theatrical com

an evidence of good faith, give a
public guarantee, as to the excel
lence of the attraction. But
Thos. J. Culligan, the manager
of Culligan's Nashville Students,
who play at the Crescent thea

lowing guaranteed pledge: "We
hereby authorize any local mana
ger in every town that we play
to guarantee it to be first-class in
every particular. The word
'guarantee' is much over-worked.
Everybody can use it, and almost
everybody does. It's a pity to
see it misused so often. Guaran
tee is a good word when it means
something. We use it because
we have made it mean some
thing. Cut this out and take to
the theatre, and if after the first
act you are dissatisfied with the
entertainment given, your money
will be refunded. We personal
ly guarantee the excellence of
this attraction."

No More Home seekers' excursions
After February 18, Says the
Central Pacific Association.
A Chicago dispatch says that
the Central Passenger Associa
tion roads in that city have noti
fied their western and southwest
ern connections that they will not
join them in arrangements for
the homeseekers' excursion for
1908.
The last excursion of the kind
with which they will have any
thing to do will be that of Feb
ruary 18, after which the Cen
tral roads will go out of the home
seeker business in all the terri
tory east of Evansville and the
Terre Haute line, of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois road.
The reason assigned is a com
plicated spstem of rates which
the western and southwestern
roads have submitted as basing
rates.
The Oregon City Enterprise of
fers this gentle insinuation:
Whv is The Oregonian so bit
ter against the appointment of
Chris Schuebel? Is his known
honesty likely to stand in the
way of the acquittal of some
land-grabbing friend in or around
The Oregonian office?
Well, now! Have you heard
of any one in or about The Ore
gonian office who has ever had
anything to do with land-grabbing?
A r. j body or about The
Oregonian office who has even
made a filing on any tract of
land, under any one of the land
acts? But haven't you, and ev
ery one of you, continually de
nounced The Oregonian for its
exposures of Mitchell, Herman.
Williamson, Brownell, et id omne
genus, and declared that its
course was simply one of male
volence toward the honored men
of Oregon? Go to and
here supply the missing words.
As for Chris Schuebel, he is

Mrs. Rachel Hawthorne, of
Portland, and a large piporty
owner in this county, was picked
out for a victim in a bold hold-up
game', last Saturday afternoon,
and but for the clever work of
Detective Maher of the district
attorney's office in Portland, the
scheme would have succeeded.
As a result of Maher's work Her
man Hafner, a Swiss, aged 20.
and Leo Honsig, an Australian,
aged 28, are in jaii, ana i tamer
has made a complete confession.
Out of work, the two men schem
ed to frighten the elderly lady
into giving them the money
through the agency of the Unit
ed States mail. Two letters were
written to her informing her that
unless she immediately made ar
rangements to pay them $500 in
gold coin her life would be en
dangered. The first letter fell
into the hands of her attorney
before Mrs. Hawthorne saw it.
but the second was delivered to
the intended victim. The case
was laid before the district at
torney, who detailed Maher on
the matter. Maher arranged
with Mrs. Hawthorne to refrain
from answering the letter until
the extortionists, angered at the
delay, should attempt to com
municate with her over the tele
phone, which he believed they
would do. At the same time ho
made arrangements with the tel
ephone company to instantly in
form him of the street number
of anyone telephoning any threat
ening messages to Mrs. Haw
thorne. Outside of the telephone
office he placed a high power au
tomobile. At 4 o'clock Saturday
the telephone operator notified
Maher that Mrs. Hawthorne was
in communication with Hafner,
who was telephoning from the
Arion dance hall. Dashing away
Maher captured the man before
he had left the telephone. Ho
immediately confessed and plead
ed a desperate need of money as
an excuse
