THE HAWLEY
E.
About thirty prominent business unci
professional men of Albany met lust
evening at the commercial club rooms
with Congressman Hawley, who stated
the case well
President Eastburn of the commercial
ciab presideii, and Manager Stewart
presented the case so far as the Club is
loncerned. Tnen Portmaster Vn i
Winkle reviewed the matter ot a revet-
iticiiv uiuna iiiu liver, air. CBSluurn
that of an upper Willamette open river
in the interest of competition, Maj. C.
B. Winn the locks at Oregon City, and
Judge Stewart the N. P. land grant,
because of a lack of approval nf which
Linn county has been cheated out of
thousands of dollars annually.
Congressman Hawlev said that after
travelling 8500 miles over his district
,hi u '." r " u"
Linn county young lady, and in a beau
tiful place near Albmy, on a sloping
hill, he expects to build a home and
spend the last years with his family.
In reference to the revetment he said
it can be Becured only because of the
navigability of the river, without re
gard to the protection of the land and
bridge. He will camp on the trail of
the engineers.
The duties of the representatives
ended with the appropriation for the
locks at Oregon City, but he will con
tinue to push the interests and favors
the proposed compromise, demanding an
early action. The head of navigation
ought to be Eugene, and he will favor
a svstem of six locks or dams between
Salem and Eugene, costing about $75,000
each, which will insure six feet of
water the year round, regardless of the
bars and shifting dirt. There is hardly
a thing to show for the present dredg
ing syaterr.
He promised to insist on immediate
action for the approval of the Northern
Pacific grants, held up so long.
He reported a si.ouu.uuo reserve 'or
forest protection, and gave the plan for
securing more of it here for our pro
tection.
The infamous Lefene apple box . bill
was punctured, and the inside of the
effort to secure it was shown up. There
will be another, which must be met
The Oregon box is the best of all.
1 he (.ancressman dec area that the
Sherman law should not be repealed, I
but it should be amended in three par

The manner in which claim? are held
up cn reports of incompetent govern
ment agents was exposed, and a better
law was advocated making this im
possible, and compelling a patent utter

The Congressman presented the dif
ferent matters in a very comprehensive
and satisfactory manner.

plead guilty to murder in the first
degree, clearing up the tragedy of Oct.

building were killed. The brother John

Clarence Darrow. the attorney, said
James II. McNamara confessed to the
enormous crimes because he was guilty,
and because it was the best thing to do.
Ho said ho had studied the case for
months, and it presented a stone wall.
This ends one of the most sensational
cases in the history of the United
States.
The confessions are a great victory
for W. J. Burns, the detective, and as
well for justice.
