M T pioneer of the, Willamette YaHey,
- and known u an eyesore to every cltiaea
f, Salem, vii destroyed by fir yeister
, ( day morning, when tut ."Halfway house,'
v place VMd u an Illicit saloon "during
' lfce past several years, went up to smoke
Ad flaw. J The, building stood on North
Liberty street," about 600 feet outside the
city limits, and a. part ot. th ground
Door was occupied by saloon operated
by Frank Oeborn, and' a portion of the
remainder of the structure, which, con
tained S6 noma, waa used aa a rooming
house. The Half way house was Insured
(or n.(00 In the Ban Insurance Company,
and Win. LaBraabhiv the owner, statea
that he recently refused $2,000 for the
property; He la aald to have bough it a
tew , month ago for? $600. Including an
acre ot around. Judge Boise carried $669
Insurance on hi dwell lug-, which waa also
burned. The house was valued at $1,000.
Ja addition to the destruction of the
dwelling. Judge Bolae lost alt the 'fruit
trees on the lot, these belnr destroyed by
the fire, this portion of the loss being es
timated at from $300 to fGOO.
. . The Halfway house was built in lSSTfcy
Hon. John, D. Boone, then . Territorial
Treasurer, and it was the most preten
tious building In the territory.. It was
for years the leading- hotel, and' all the
, prominent people of .the' early days, who
came to Salem on business or pleasure,
stopped at the place, then' called the Is
land house. At that time the house stood
near the Mill Creek bridge, and it was
many years later that it was moved to
the place where !twaa destroyed, 600 feet
from the original location. The first few
years saw the bouse the center of at
traction wheiTaome public gathering was
field in Salem, and It was on the occasion
v ot the receipt of the news of, the election
of President Franklin Pierre, that the
first publlo funotlon was held In the
buUdlng. News traveled slow then, and
the fact ot Mr. Pierce's election did not
beoom known in Oregon until January,
1858; two months after the election. The
Democrats) held a Jubilee meeting In the
hotel and such noted leaders of the party
as General Geo. H. Will lama (Mayor-elect
ot Portland), then a Democrat; the late
Judge Peady, Hon. A. Bush, and others,,
whose names are , household words in
Oregon, ware in attendance and delivered
. addresses, and the occasion waa one
from which time was counted and by
which dates -were fixed in the years fol
lowing. . ,
In later rears the house fell from its
high estate, and In recent years it has
been in ill repute. During a portion of the
last few years it was ocoupled by . illicit
saloons, and 'wild orgies were the order
ot the day. Then for a time it was used
aa a mission school, and- lately it was
again a saloon and lodging bouse.
The owner talks of rebuilding the bouse
and it is possible a brick structure will
take Its place.

CONTEST
BUILDING. .TRADES
Plumbers in 'an j Entanglement
and Are Criticised.
The Building Trades Council met last
night, and, tho strike situation was dis
cussed at some length. .
Assurances in the form of communica
tion were, received from outside unions
that assistance would be extended in the
way of contributions to the' strike' fund.
The' general sentiment of the meeting
was that the unlon'outlook I promising.
Many minor ''points of business was dis
cussed and the meeting was In session
until a late hour. Communications were
read , from a number of outside unions
stattng that the material from the boy
ootted planing mills from this city would
not be handled by them. The Granfti
Pisa, union, numbering about 100' mem
bers, sent word that each man of the
organisation would contribute $5 per
month to aid in carrying on the strike.
Th recent, action of the plumbers In
agreeing to work for no one but mem
bers Of the Master Plumbers' Association
was severely criticised, and many enter
tained tho opinion that such action is un
constitutional The Building Trades hold
that the union ts over-stepping" Its' rights
under Its charter In refusing to work for
anyone. who pays union wages. To show
any discrimination in this respect. It Is
argued, la against union principles.
Dosch Complimented.
Colonel Henry E. Dosch must, hwvsi
mads a pretty big "hit" In Charleston.
Judging from the press notices he Is get
ting. The following Is only a sample:
"Colonel Henry. E. Dosch, the commis
sioner from. Oregon to the exposition, who
starts today tor his home in the great far
West, la a man we hate' to part with.
He says he likes the people of Charles
ton and It Is certain the people ot Charles
ton who have met htm like him. He had
a- splendid exhibit at the exposition and
he made It attractive to everybody. Those
who could not appreciate the matoejil
value Ot the display could at least appre
ciate the charm of Colonel Coach's man
ner and. his reception to visitors to his
exhibits made friends for Oregon. No
finer display was made at the exposition
than that ot Oregon, and Jt was profited
the state enormously already in djrect
returns, and, it is not tbe doubted thai
the excellent way in which it was pre
sented by Colonel Dosch had much to do
with its good results. Of course, they
need Colonel .Dosch out In Oregon, and as
a friend of . that great -country we can
not restrain his return, but we can at
least hope that his own state and his fine
City of Portland will lend him to Charles
ton again some time for a' visit. He will
be welcome always."

accompanied by a minister. Later In the
day a Portland Salvation Army woman
visited the prisoner. To those not hU
relatives, Schievie appears stolidly Indif
ferent to his fate. While his appetite la
good, he does not talk for publication,
ljut in a rambling way. Not one word
has he uttered as to his guilt, but asserts
that he Is Innocent of the murder of
Joseph Schulkowskt, seven miles from St.
Helena on the 7th day of last December.
He appeared to be considerably amused
at tb antics of an insane man, who was
placed In an adojlnlng cell last Saturday
night ' Workmen today began the con
struction ot the enclosure for the scaf
fold, which will be erected between the
court houso and Jail bulldln. Sheriff Hat-
tan Is using every precaution in having
the prisoner carefully watched and guard

night W. T. Vaughn, of Portland, who
was Schtevle's attorney, has Informed
The Journal correspondent that he would
not make any further effort to save his
client from the gallows or to secure a

AttorheyMontagueWas
Assaulted by Bicycle
Deputies.
. Attorney R. W.' Montague wfil bring
suit for damages against Sheriff William
Frader, for Injuries alleged to have been
received last. Wednesday morning at the
hands of Special Deputies D. D. Jackson
and L. C. ' Weir, who, he alleges, com
mitted an assault-upon him while seis
ing bis unlicensed bicycle.
Mr. Montagu was riding on the down
hill grade 'of the Section Line path at a
lively clip when ordered to stop by the
two officials posted In the roadway near
the Seven Corners, Mr. Montague claims
the deputies exhibited no- stars, and,
thinking - they were simply warning him
not to rid over a bad section of side
walk wblchwa Jubowb to. be near by,
he suddenly turned to one side. Deputy
Weir, thinking tho bicyclist was endeav
oring to get away, ran In front of the
wheel, and setting tba handle bars, threw
Mr. Montague heavily to the ground.
The attorney was severely bruised about
the shoulders and has since been unable
to use oen arm. ' ,' ' '
Yesterday Mr. Montagus wrote Sheriff
Frasler a short letter,- staling that he
would hold him personally responsible for
tho assault committed upon him, and fur
ther demanded the' return of $LS0 paid
Into the Sheriff's Office for tho redemption
of the wheel. Mr. Frasler ha not yet an
swered the letter, but stated to a Journal
representative today that be would do
so a once, and that the demand for th
return of the penalty collected would not
be granted; furthermore, that he denied
any responsibility of himself or his stents
for any acts he or they may have com
mitted In the pwformance of their duty.
Commenting' upon the selsure ot Mr,
Montague's untagged bicycle, Sheriff Fra
sler said: , ' . '
"Had Mr. Montague not acted In the
way he dldV the deputies would not have
had to handle . him as they did. 1 They
are both gentlemen and would not In
tentionally Injurs any one. They were
sent out to selte all unlicensed bicycles
they could find. They did their duty. I
am endeavoring to enforce the bicycle
taws, and if the laws , are at fault I
am not to blame. I will not return to
Mr.' Montague a cent ot the money col
lected from him as a" penalty, which sum
applies to the costs of selsure. If they
want to sue for damages let them sue.
I am a target for everybody to shoot at
who thinks' he' has a grievance."
Mr. Montague declined to state fully
his position until the papers in the case
have been prepared. He said that - he
would test the right ot the authorities
to commit an assault In' collecting blcycl
taxes, and the right to collect $1.60 pen
alty, when the law says that the bicycles
must be sold at Sheriff's sale for the bare
costs. The statutes referred to read as
follows!
.... jjald Shorlff shall' have the
power and authority to seise and sell as
upon . execution any bicycle for the
amount ot the said license, tax, together
with the cost and expenses of such sels
ure and sale. '
Attorney Montague observed 'further
that no law authorised the commission
of an sssault to enforcs the collection of
delinquent taxes.
