J
MAY ALSO BUILD R. R's.
A number of years ago grave and I
lengthy arguments by learned men
were published in profusion to show
that the British government could not
operate a telegraph system on the
same plan as the postofficc. The
common people w-cre sternly reproved
for assuming in their childish and il
logical way that because the govern
ment had reduced postage to a penny
that it could reduce telegrams to six
pence regardless of distance. The
minute differences were magnified and
the case closed before the court of
inplacable logic. Then the govern
mcnt took over the telegraph lines
and did the very thing that the wise
men had declared could not be done.
We are assured that while districts
can build irrigating canals costing
millions, and operate them successful'
ly, the building of a railroad embank
ment out of the same kind of dirt and
the laying of rails thereon is an en'
tirely different proposition from a ca
nal or a wagon road. The people of
Oregon are going to do this very
thing, however. After a few years
the very writers who arc now shriek
ing out in terror at the proposition
will be compelled by the. logic of ex
perience which beats book logic all
to pieces to advocate the building of!
more public railroads as they now ad-
, 11,. I
vocatc the building of more and better
wagon roads.

IDLE LAND.
A meat dealer in Portland adver-
tises that the reason meat is high is '
, , , . , , . , y ,
that land is high. He is correct. Land
on which a steer can be raised costs
more now than it did. Somebody has
to pay the price. It finally rests on
, . , ,, . XT i i I
each cut from the steer Not only !
mat nut tlie land on wlucli tlic steer I
is cut up and sold to the consumer.
Who. must pay for that? It costs
more to buy land on which to raise
steers, and more on which to retail
them out. The land in country and
city is high because it is monopolized
:and held out of use. There arc ten
idle acres and lots to one utilized even
partly and insufficiently. The same
f;fiw applies to a bushel of wheat as to
a ptt roast; to a box of apples as to
a ) ipe f sausage.
ASSEMBLIES.
Col. Hofcr thinks that an assembly
that would make a platform and adopt
resolutions endorsing the rule of the
people and the expressed will of the
people wo"' l help harmonize the
party. So would, Colonel, so it
would. Hut what in thunder would
that do to the big and little pic-hiint-ats
who have been running with the
machine for forty years? Don't they
poed un office? Would not one of tlicni
rise and inquire "what arc we here for
ii not for office?" Without an as
sembly nomination what hope have
any of them for office from constable
to governor. Sho! Sho! Colonel;
'something must be done for these
heroes who have run every primary
since Lincoln was nominated.
SMALL TRACTS WANTED.
In the Willamette valley arc lens
of thousands of acres of the richest
fanning land in the world. H is capa
ble uf supporting a family to every
three acres if properly cultivated. In
jnany sections it is impossible to buy
small tracts of five and ten acres at
anv reasonable price. The owners re-
iii.iin in LiuKtliuii and dpiived of the
comforts of civilization rather than
break up their farms and sell to men
who do not waul to dissipate their en
ergies scratching over a half section
when' they could make more and live
in greater comfort on five acres.
BUILD ON THE LOTS.
Albany has advertised, and now

tlierlo we must nut shew him olT with
prices for our lands and lots that will
make him take the first train out of

bttyi no Hour and it puts nothing into

send any children to school, and it
does not shorten the distance to the

FINCH'S LAST
OTP i TP C? Ml CIVT '
Y t'iVl C 11 I j
A: Made By Dr. J. L. Hill.
Albany, Or., Nov. 13, 1909.
I stated in a former issue of the
Democrat that I would give the read
ers of the paper a dying statement by
James. A. Finch of the cause that led
to his execution. From newspaper
accounts I had been led to believe that
Finch was the deliberate murderer of
Ralph B. Fisher. In years past I
was intimately acquainted with Finch
and having known him under the most
trying ordeal of adversity, followed by
prosperity, I could only account for
the commission of murder by him
through temporary mental aberration
from indulgence in drink.
The details of his awful crime were
so horrifying I quickly decided I
would not go to see Jim, and in har
mony with sensational newspaper ac
counts would regret tnat I had ever
known Finch, and indirectly, for self
protection, would forever refrain from
letting the uninformed know I had
ever been a close 'friend of his. Dur
ing his incarceration I kept aloof from
him until the day of his death, on the
12th day of Nov., 1909, when by phone
request from him, I visited him in his
death cell, with no other thought than
that the interview would more firmly
convince me that the tragedy was pre-
meditated and precipitated by Finch,
1 1,ad known Finch for so many
years, and under so many vicissitudes,
and hild ncvcr known hfm tQ tell m
a falsehood to shield himself when I
had felt it my duty to upbraid him
for frailties in judgment or indulgence
in drink, I felt assured he would not
tell me anything but the truth when
he knew death was certain and soon,
To 1,'stcn a story of debauchery,
murder and gallows, 1 lelt would be
painSully lum-assing, but to conform
to the axiom "A friend should bear a
friend's infirmities," I broke the af-
''rlniltio,n that 1 w,oull. "J .8 t0 sec
him and did comply with his request,
I am now very gllul I did see him. His
account of the tragedy to my mind
clears him of the guilt of murder.
Here is his dying statement:
"Doctor, I called you down here so
you could make an examination of my
head where I was struck with a seal
thrown by Ralph Fisher. And I par
ticularly want you to write a state
ment of the difficulty that put me
here, for it has not been possible for
111c to get a fair hearing through the cejvea by corporations, there being only
papers. 1 he reporters have misrep- I tnree formal complaints by private in
resented me on all occasions. I know dividuals. The assessments of the cor
I have but three and a naif hours to porations were all sustained, though a
live and at the end of that time I-fully few corrections were made in the case
expect to meet my God. I could not ! of the Western Co. owning suburban
tell anything but the truth under such 1 property. The board held, that the
a terrible ordeal. ; land assessments and that of the South-
"F'ishcr phoned me twice to go to em Pacific were not too high, and
his office before I went. 1 went at his were in keeping with other property,
request." 1 and the figures will stand.
(Finch then took a pencil and paper 1
and drew a diagram of Fisher's office.) ' ' Deeds recorded'

"During the controversy Fisher rose
to his feet and struck me with a seal
and knocked me down. When 1 fell
1 didn't know anything. 1 was dazed
for a time. 1 rose on one elbow and
drew my pistol and fired. The direc
tion of the shot on the wall will show
this to be true. After I got up the
fatal shot was tired. 1 was standing
up and the seal I had been struck
with way lying on the tloor near my
foot and Fisher was laying on the
floor with his head partially under the
table." (As 1 understood Finch, Fish
er was reaching for a pistol.) "Fisher
was not sitting in a chair as the testi
mony of the girl made it. The first
person to reach i'isher was an osteo
path doctor who rushed in and
dragged I'isher from the position he
was in and attempted to sit him up in
a chair.
"The girl could not have seen any
thing of the tragedy or heard any of
the conversation for she was hysteri
cally .ereaming her head off in the
first room and the door was shut be
tween us. They hid the girl away so
we could not have an opportunity to
tineMton her. They put the seal back
in the drawer and even tore the carpet
from the tloor and tooi; it away so wc
could not offer it in evidence. If the
carpet could have been produced it
would have shown blood stains in the
positions I have diagramed and would
have shown the exidence against me
to be false in every particular.
"1 did not assassinate Fisher and 1
am innocent. 1 know I "have but three
uid a half hours to live and at the end
l that short time must meet my God.
This is the saddest time of human lite
but the Hurkhart girl is now suffering
more than I Am and she will finally
wind up in the insane asylum. The
truth will yet come to the urtaee and
those who have wronged me will be
known. A reporter was in a habit
ot coming to the Multnomah jail while
I u.is there and as he pa-ed up tlie
hall would say 'Hello Jim. how are
'.nil this morning?' 1 would answer.
All right.' That would be every word
poken between us but- when the pa
tcr came out it would contain an ac
onnt of a long interview with Jim
l'inch.
" have been unjustly railroaded to
tlie gallows by the gang, and that is
why I want you to write up this last
Liter. scut for the public. I don't ask
for mercv. but 1 do i:-k for justice."
II said, "Jim, this should be an awful
warning to others against carrying
, pistols in a civilized country."
answered, I was not carrying
l''e listo1 )vitl1 any thought of doing
to take It home. 1 had htty cartridges
in my pocket. (I think he said fifty.)
You know I would not have been so
foolish as to start out with that great
number of cartridges if 1 was going
to kill some one."
I then said it should be a warning
against drinking.
He quickly replied, "I was not
drinking. I was no more drunk than
1 am now. The newspapers said I
was drinking, but it is not true. Had
I been drinking I would have set that
up in my defense."
Now, I have given the account of an
awful scene as related to me, and leave
it with the public for its decision. Jim
was always emphatic when engaged in Portland, Nov. 15. Polio Judge
conversation of deep interest, and in Bennett sprang a surprise today accus
