A RICH HAUL JOSEPH MYERS, SALEM, ROBBED Secures Package v'vutaiolnp Valuable 1'aperi Also Loses Jewelry and Other Valuable Property. Salem, Or, Sept. 8. A daring ex press robbery, In which a package containing notes and other valuable papers representing over $50,000 be longing to Joseph Meyers, of this :ity, brings again to public notice the Intornal troubles of the Meyers family. It recalls the fight made by his sons to prevent his recont mar riage In Portlan l to Mrs. Zenalde Du Retto, and to control the old man's fortune. Upon the request of Mr. Meyers, I. H. Albert, nresident of the Capi tal National Bank, . of Salem, for warded the former's strong box to him at Portland, In care of the Port land Hotel. The package was Intrust ed to the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany hare for transmission to Port land on the afternoon of August 11. U arrived In Portland that night at 11:30 o'clock. The package never reached Mr. Meyers at his Portland address, and It haa Just been learned that It was stolen from the express company on '.he night of August 21, or the early morning of August 22. The circum stances of the daring theft are such that It is bellevrd that unknown per sons entered the express office at the Portland Union Depot, where the package was left over night, and car ried It away. The strong box contained among other valuable packages and Jewelry three notes executed by Henry W. and Milton L. Meyers to Joseph Meyers of a total value of $62,600. TAKES RIDE AMOXG CLOUDS. California Farmer Caught Up From Eurth by Italloon. Ban Jose, Cal., Sept. 8. A balloon ascension at Alum Hock Park, Sun day afternoon, came near ending fa tally for Fred Blaggl, a prune ranch er living near Alvlso. It seems that Blaggl had boasted to a number of women friends that he was not afraid to go up In the balloon, so, as the balloon was cut loose, he rushed to the spot and proceeded to get hlniBelf tangled up in the ropes. The aero naut yelled to him to keep clear, the women screamed and there was a general panic As the balloon shot upward Blaggl struggled to free him self, but not until he was so far up In the air that It was Impossible for him to drop and be was forced to hang on for dear life. At an altitude of some 2500 feet the professional balloonist cut loose In his parachute and descended safe ly, but Blaggl was carried up and out of sight. Then a wind caught the balloon and carried It far over the hills. It wts nearly an hour be fore a rescuing party found the rancher. Miraculously be was un injured. He had held onto the ropes until the balloon let him reach the ground without a scratch. Kills Farmer; Burns His Home. Lewlston, Idaho, Sept. 8. That J. M. Bachus was foully murdered on his own doorstep and his home fired to cover the crime, Is now absolutely certain as an examination of the charred and almost unrecognizable body shows that the young Gilford farmer was shot, probably with a rifle, the bullet entering the back of the neck and ranging upward through the neck, finally ploughing Its way through the skull over the eye of the murdered victim. Mystery still surrounds the case, and no light has been shed on It by officials who remain reticent. That Mrs. Bachus, the 22-year-old wife of the murdered man, will yet reveal something which officials be lieve Is untold. Is expected. She steadfastly doclares that Bachus was. carrying a lamp which exploded, but gives no explanation of the. presence of a bullet In her husband's brain. The extreme reticence of all con nected with the case shows that mere svtdence Is being sought. Society Belle Weds Mlllhond. San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 8. News has been received here of the marriage at Sacramento of Miss Ger trude Humphrey, a popular society girl of East Highland, to James Mc Nalley, a mlllhand of Sacramento, the nuptials being the culmination sf a romance which commenced last December. During the Christmas rush Miss Humphrey took a Job packing or inges in a local packing-house. She discovered written on one of the boxes, which had come from Sacra mento "In the shook," a scrawl ask ing the girl who first read it to write to James McNalley, Sacramento. More as a Joke than anything else, Miss Humphrey wrote as directed. Kn answer was soon forthcoming. n exchange of photographs followed ' ind she accepted McNalley's propo lal of marriage. An Incident of the romance Is that Hflss Humphrey removed the board ! which bore the message from the box, md this she afterwards burned ar tistically and ftamed it to decorate the walls of their home.

SETTLED $70,000 SUIT OUT OF COURT The Glacier is in receipt of a dis patch apprising it of the fact that a suit which Kae & Hattleld, the well knowu commission men of.New Yoik, had insituted sgaiust the Noithern Pa oilli railroad company for $70,000 damages had been tettlod out of court. The dispatch aked for infoimatiou iu regaid to the suit, but aw the aceue of the suit was in the Yakima district It could not be furnished. The Yaki ma Kepublic, however, has this to ssy of the transaction : "Terms of the settlement are not known, except by Inferenoe, and the inference is that rather than let the case go to trial the railroad company has gone a long way toward meeting the demands of the commission house. It may be stated, however, that no word of a settlement, except that sent to this paper, has been received here. "It is anticipated that the settle ment of this claim means the settle ment of a large number of otbei claims Hgainst the railroad in which North Yakima aud Yakima valley ship pets are interested, among them a claim for several thousands of dollars of the horticultural union and to which reference was nindo at the an nual meetintf of that body. "Hiuce Wees, of Paiker, represent ed Messrs. Kae & llattleid iu this dis trict last season and purchased a large quantity of fruit, but like many others encountered gieat dltliouity in procuring cars. Mr. Wees today declined to tie Intel viewed iu the mat ter, sayiug that it was entirely out of bis hands, but be did atlirm that it was not a court case aud so far as he know was not settled. "Mr. Wees at one time last year bad on hand 50 carloads of hlgh-piiced ap ples, the value of which, per carload, was approximately $1700. In addition to this there were tunny other csrs at different times aud bIho the fact that after having contracted with growers for fruit he was compelled to soud out word to cease hauilug as there was no possible way of disposing of the fruit, there being no cars avail able for shipping. "1'bis state of aifairs continued for about a month and was the subjeot of ninny aiticles in the Kepublic at the time, it will be remembered that there was a considerable ot a spell of warm weather and it was at the time declared that the fruit In the ware houses was "going down" rapidly. I he total loss on some and the deter ioration In value of the balance, to gether with the loss occasioned by the orders to the growers to cease hauling made the aggregate of the claim men tioned above. "The ca-ie was taken up by the New York house and was removed from this Held, the conferences and com munications on the subject being al together between the New York people mi l the ollloials of the railroad at St. Paul. "Ibe condition last full owing to (be inability ot the railroad to fur nish oars when they were asked tor by the shippers, have been the basis of a great many claims against the railroad not only from this section of the state but from other fruit growing seotious as well along the line ot the Northern Paclllo railroad, it is tiudei stood than a number of small claims have already been udjusted without litiga tion." Will Stop Deliveries on It. 11. o. 1. A meeting which was held in the Commeroial Club rooms Saturday af ternoon by the patrons of rural route No. 1 to provide funds for continuing the muil service on that route failed to raise the required amount and as a result A. J. Friediy, the carrier, will stop further deliveries tomorrow. The smdunt allowed by Mr. rriedly by the go-ernuient is $75 per month, but it is impossible for him to live and maintaiu bis team on this amount. Heretofore, patrons ot the route have subscribed an additional $:!00 per an num. A resolution was adopted at ttn meeting to the effect that the poetolilco department be notified that the deliveries ou the route had been suspended and that a claim be allowed for fuitber reimbursement of rural carriers in this district. Injured by Fall from Trestle. Mate Lallisch, au Austrian laboier, was taken to the Cottage Hospital Tuesday morning, unconscious, as the result ot fulling from the railroad trestle east of town. Lallisch was ac companied by two men who stated to Marshal danger that all tbiee of them had been working on the North Bank railroad at Pasco and were walking to Vancouver to get their money, asjtbey bad been paid otf in time checks. Ibe accident happened ut 4 o'clock Tuesday moruing aud whs occasioned by a freight train which came unto the trestle when the meu were iu the middle of it. At first it was thought that Lallisch had been hit by the train, but as he is unhurt with the exoeptiou of a scalp wound it is sur mised that he got frightened and tell otf. On reaching the hospital live stitches were taken iu the wouud.iu his lead, but as he is unable to speak English it wai impossible to learn from him how the aooident happened. BUSY SCENES ON MT. HOOD ROAD DEE BECOMING BUSINESS CENTER Sen Hotel Completed and Lumber and Fruit Industries Boomlnf There-, Many Apple Houses Being Unlit With developments that are taking plsoe at and near the new lumber town of Dee it will soon be the busi est and mcst important town in Uood Klver oounty outside of Hood River. With the recent boom In the lumber business the big mill was started np with a latge force ot men last Thurs day and the scene presented there is lively one. Two hundred men were put to work in the mill aud logging camps near Dee Jut-t week and Wm. II. Eocles, president of the oompany, states that it will be kept running to its full ca pacity just as long as weatber condi tions permit. As toon as enough men and teams csn be secured both sides ot the mill will be pat in opera tion and 300,000 teet of lumber turned out daily, lmprovemeuts In the work ing plant of the mill, Include new planer with twice the capacity of any of the other machines in opera tion, aud the lumber Is being loaded direct trom them into the oar. Another improvement put into use and which is an Inveutlou ot Mr. Eo cles is an electrio loading derrick that preforms wonders in the way ot loading heavy timbers. With its aid a oar of 12x12 timbers can be loaded In 20 to 30 minutes end big timbers picked up from the loading platform in any diieotion. The fine electrio plant with whloh the mill la run and the town supplied with light and wa ter has been (ouud to be adaptable to placing maobineiy wherever it can be used to the best advantage. The com pany expects to ship out 4,000,000 feet ot lumber during the coming mouth A line improvement at Dee and one which Is particularly appreciated by the traveling public, is a new hotel which haa just been completed and opened to the pubiio this week. The hotel contains 25 rooms and Is equipped with all the improvements ot a modem hostelry. A ten foot poioh enoiroles the structure, afford ing ample room tor entettaiment of many guests out ot doora during the warm weather. Ou the first floor Is situated the offloe, dining room, par lor, a private dining room and a spac ious kitchen with large pantries, and room built off the porch for the help required to run the hotel. The main dining room will teat eighty guests and a large range with alt modern appliances, iuoluding hot water, in sures convenience In preparing meals. Spring water for drinking purposfs la provided. On the second floor are the bedrooms, well lighted and venti lated and eleotrio lighted. Bathrooms and stationary wasbstands have also been put In aud doors lead from the upper floor to the broad porob roof. The interior Is finished In weathered oak aud with its furnishings the new hotel will be one of the best appoint ed In the oounty. Later the grounds around it will be Improved with lawns and several outbuildings will be built to provide storge rooms. The cusine of the hotel is under the management of Mr. and Mrs. N. 11. Nelson, who have had wide experience in this line aud the meals are excellent. Iu addition to the development that is taking place in the little lumber town many acres of fruit land are being cleared aud set to trees on the bench of land just above it. Mr. Eo cles has twenty acres cleared here with five set to treos and Chas. T. Early, superintendent ot the Mt. Uood rail road, has ten acres in fruit. Another tract of ten sores belonging to Ezra Monson is also set to fruit. Other tracts are being cleared up and a new county road through this section is being projected. Traffic on the railroad from the sur rounding oountiy is fast increasing and tbo arrival aud departure of the train at Dee presents a scene of busi ness and hustle. (Joods, farming im plements, supplies nod fruit trees are being hauled Into the surrounding country and strangers can be seen there daily looking over the country with the Intention of investing. Along the line ot road many im provements iu raucbe can be seen and at several points considerable building is being done. At Van Uorn the Apple Growers Union has the foundation and floor laid for its big apple receiving warehouse. The struc ture is 40x200 feet and will permit the shipping ot many thousands of boxes of apples without the inoonvenience of hauling them to town. Wilson FIke is also building an apple house near the railroad traok on his place. A. I. Mason's new apple bouse is com pleted and Aug. Paasob is adding the finishing touches to an apple house that Is on a switob of the railroad which is 00x120 feet. Others are also building more storage oapaclty to take care of their apple crops. Improvements have .been made this summer in the road bed of tbe rail road aud its convenience for both pas sengers and freight is fast increasing the traffic With tbe lumber, fruit and other freight shipments and the contemplated extension of tbe road into tbe upper valley tbe new railroad will soon beoome one of the most im portant factors in tbe development of tbe industries of tbe oounty.
