CLUB COSIDERS MATTES OF
EXTENDING CAB LINE.
About $1500 Has Already Been Pledged
Toward Faying a Bonus to the Com
pany to BoUd the Xine Offer Re
ceived to Establish Condensed Milk
Factory.
(From Wednesday 's Daily.)
, The regular meeting of the (Greater
Salem Commercial Club, which was held
is the poliee court room of the eity hall
last evening, was a very important one
not only to the eity but to the sur
rounding country, as action was taken
regarding the proposed eleetrie ear line
extension to; Chemewa. The - meeting
was well attended, notwithstanding the
fact that the city -council was in ses
sion in the chamber above, and the
members were enthusiastic over -the
prospect of a car line to Chemawa.
After reading the minutes of the
last meeting, and of the aetion of the
executive committee at its last meet
ing in the office of the secretary of the
club, when it was decided to ask the
Halem Flouring Mills Company to in
stall a plant for the manufacture of
various kinds of breakfast foods in. Sa
lem, the question of building the car
line was taken'up.
There is a stanuing committee having
in charge the matter of inducing the
companyrto construct the line, of which
J. H. Albert is chairman, and they have
for same time been conferring with
Manager Springer of the street railway
company. Superintendent F. W. Potter
of the Indian school, and Lloyd T. Rey
nolds were recently appointetd a sup-
, pletnentary eomittee to investigate the
inducements offered to the company to
Luild the line, and to raise a bonns
among the residents of C'hemewa, and
the farmers livingWong the line. Sup
erintendent Potter has taken the mat
ter thoroughly in hand and will see it
to a successful termination if energy
and determination can do it. To him
and to Lloyd Reynolds is due all of
the credit for the magnificent report
made last night that $1000 had already
been pledged, and it would Do greatly
increased. These gentlemen will be
come benefactors and deserve the grat
itude of all her citizens, if. they are
. successful in securing the extension of
the line-to .Chemawa, opening an ever
lasting and constantly increasing source
of profit to Salem, and also to every
family living within reasonable dis-
lid u i L tin 11 u j uu.rituci nine.
Keing called upon by President Hofcr
Superintendent Potter read the report
ot,the committee. This report is very
comprehensive and appears in full in
another column of this issue.
Mr. Potter presented the subscrip
n tion list which he has been circulating
which showed that $1000 had already
been pledged in two days canvas, at
, though they had been unable to see a
1 large number of people. lie thought
that -the' promises he had received
could be counted on to bring the
amount up to $1500.
Lloyd Reynolds, who was one of the
? committee, stated he. found all the
: farmers eager to sec the road built, and
, jmany who did not subscnoe promised to
, do so later. He thought the dairy in-
i dustrvr' which in imnortant. in that mi.
"tiowould be fostered by such a line,
as a large amount of milk might be
shipped to-Saiem, as a benefit to the
farmers and source of revenue to the
company.
' ' '-..., n iiv nag Jil csrui,
thought the proposed line would not
only be a benefit to 8alem, but also to
the Chemawa country and- believed
it would be an easy matter to raise$2
MK) for the purpose of inducing the
company to build the line. He thought
both Salem people and the farmers
. along the line would subscribe liberally
a all see the benems of the line.
John IL Albert, chairman of the
committee having in charge the secur
ing of the car line to Chemawa, came
Jn after the subject had been disposed
of, but was called upon, and explained
that the committee had interviewed the
local authorities of the Citizens Light
and Traction Company and -that Mr.
Springer had promised to take the mat:
tfr up with J. J. Henry, who is expected
an the city in a few days. He represent
to Mr. Springer that a large number
of pupils lived at the school, and many
people lived along the line and thought
that interest among games would make
'hemawa another point where games
would be played, the same as Salem or
Albany, and at these times the road
wonld be taxed to handle the -crowds.
It had ought to pay, and if the com
pany became convinced of this fact
they would build the road without any
bonus. He did not think it the proper
method to offer a subsidy at this time,
although when the proper time came
and it was necessary he would be ready
to do his share. If a bonus is offered
some conditions should compel the
company to run cars every so often,
tnat in case the line was withdrawn the
bonus paid should be returned to the
club.
-The Request Was Refused.
Secretary Graham has been in cor
respondence with Manager K. Koehler
f the Southern Pacific Company, ask
ing on behalf of the club, that O. L.
Darling be reinstated as passenger
agent in this city. Mr. Koehler replied
that he would not even consider the
change, although be would be glad to
favor the club in any way possible.
A communication from the Portland
warn oi iraae asking me emu i
their body at an expense of $5 per
month ' was laid on the table by the
unanimous vote of the members.
A letter was received from General
Passenger Agent W. E. Cooian of
Portland, reporting that 10,000 of the
Adam and Eve pamphlets, whieh were
being distributed in the East had been
returned at the request of the club, and
Secretary Graham explained that the
eireulars had been received and were
t his office, where any one desiring
eould secure them. - V

A letter was read before the club
which had been received by Clerk of
the State Land Board G. O. JBrown
from a committee ox Finnish residents
t West Berkley, CaL, asking for in
dueements for establishing a Finnish
. colony in Qregon. Mr. Brown turned

CLAIMANTS FOR PAYMENT OF IN
TEREST MUST SHOW REASONS
FOR NOT RECLAIMING.
Affidavits Accompanying Applications
For Purchase of State Lands Pre
cludes All Rights to Collect Interest
Upon the Principal of the Applicants
Claim For Repayment of Purchase
Price.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
According to an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Crawford, yesterday,
pursuant to a question submitted by
the-State Land Board, if a person made
application for the purchase of tide or
swamp land, and furnishes affidavits to
the effect that they "have made no
contract or agreement, expressed or im
plied, for the sale or disposition of the
land applied for, in case I am permit
ted to purchase the same, and that
there is no valid adverse, claim there
to," the form of application provided
by the board, and in case they fail to
reclaim the lands and the state cannot
convey title thereto, the claimants are
not entitled to the repayment of inter
est on the purchase prie.e but are en
titled to the principal only.
This opinion is simply an affirmance
of fiis opinion heretofore rendered upon
claims for repayment of principal and
interest upon unclaimed lands, covered
by section 3311, of Bellinger & Cot
ton's code, but the latter opinion is
based upon the filing of affidavits of R.
A. Booth and J. E. Kelley, and as to
whether they are sufficient to allow the
State Land Board to repay interest on
the principal on lands to which the
state is unable to convey title. The
Attorney General cays:
'I am of the opinion they (the affi
davits) are not sufficient. The lands
mentioned were at the time of the ap
plication to purchase, vacant lands of
the) United States, and the applicant
was well aware of that fact, and also,
that the state gave quit claim deeds
only. ;
'If the doetrine of caveat emptor
applies, and I see no reason why it
.does not. the applicant is entitled to
his principal even, solely by virtue of
the section referred to (3311), and
that section provides in effect, that in
terest shall not be paid, unless the ap
plicant could not have had possession
of the lands; and there was no existing
homestead or other legal claim to the
same, or any legal claimant in posses
sion thereof.
"Also applicant swore when he
made the applicaiton to purchase, thatl
there was no adverse ciaim mereio.
The affidavits show no reason why the
applicant could not have occupied the
lands had he so desired. It is my opin
ion no interest should be paid in this
case.

Officer.
Chief of Police Gibson received a
telephone message from the authori
ties at Grants Pass yesterday afternoon
instructing him to look out for E. J.
McNulty, and place him under arrest
if he made his appearance in this city.
Thirty minutes after the message was
received McNulty was occupying a cell

wired the authorities at Grants Pass
to the effect that the man was in cus
tody and received' word that an officer
would come after the prisoner on this

(From Wednesday's Daily.)
' At the regular meeting of the Great
er Salem Commercial Club, last even-
nE tne sub-committee appointed to in
vestigate the matter of the sentiment
of the people along lue proposed exten
sion of the eleetrie car line from the
Fair Grounds to Chemawa, made its
report.
After making a full investigation
circulating a subscription blank among
the property owners and residents
along the proposed line, the proposition
which is made to the Citizens Light &
Traetion Company is in full as follows
'To the Honorable E. Hofer, presi
dent of the Greater Salem Commercial
Club, Salem,' Oregon:
'Dear Sirs: In compliance with
your request we take pleasure in sub
mitting the following report showing
the total amount of population that
could be served by an extension of an
electric ear line to Chemawa, also other
data giving the amount of business
which eowld be developed on said line
through athletie sports, entertainments,
football games, etc., etc., also the esti
mated amount of fruit, vegetables and
other produce raised by the growers
and farmers living near or on the pro
posed electric line.-
"First The number of pupils, em
ployes and their families living in
Chemawa and in immediate vieinity,
population 1,000. The number of peo
ple who would be served by this road
in the Hayesviile district north and
east of the school, 500. The number of
people who would patronize this line
living west of Chemawa and in the
eastern part of the Keizer district, 500.
Total population, 2,000.
".With an electric line into Chemawa
from Salem we have no hesitancy in
saying that the population would be
increased over 25 per cent each jear.
" Second. -The football games and
athletic sports of the Indian students
at Chemawa every Saturday afternoon
with the leading athletic associations
of the country would no doubt bring
out large numbers of people from Sa
lem, and would add greatly to the busi
ness of the road, and we would also
refer to the regular sacred Sunday af-f
ternoon band concerts which would no
doubt be an attraction to the people of
Salem who love good music and enjoy,
a Sunday afternoon outing in the coun
try. The Chemawa sehool being a gov
ernment institution there are no restric
tions to visitors coming to the grounds
and they would be welcome to come
Sunday afternoons and hear the music
free of charge. There are also other
numerous entertainments and attrac
tions going on at the Indian school
from time to time which would doubt
less be liberally patronized by the Sa
lem people if an electric line could be
established.
' Third The employes and students
of the Chemawa school all visit Salem
quite frequently and , would patronize I
the road very liberally in attending the
various churches, theatres, ball games,
etc., etc., at Salem with the proper
transportation.
'Fourth A large amount of freight
business could be operated on an elec
tric line to Chemawa and would be an
important item for consideration. Each
year the government is building large
buildings at Chemawa school, the ma
terial for which is shipped by rail from
Salem, including, brick, lumber, etc.
This business could be handled by an
electric road to great advantage. The
beef which is supplied to the school
daily amounts to 400 or 500 pounds,
and could also be handled by an elec
tric road. The various supplies which
are purchased from Salem merchants is
no insignificant amount.
"Fifth Theie is no reason why a
park could not be obtained at a reason
able price out near the Chemawa school
which would be a very desirable place
for the city people to visit on Sundays
and holidays. We feel confident that
the people who live near Chemawa and
on or near the proposed extension of
this line would patronize it to the
greatest extent, they having already
subscribed $1000 as a bonus for build
ing the said li-e within twelve months,
guaranteeing the right of way. Many
others will contribute their labor to
the building of the road in lieu of cash
subscriptions, while others will agree
to take tickets to the extent of several
hundred dollars, thus assuring the
road of that much business in advance.
'Sixth There are 50 acres of small
fruits now in cultivation along the said
line producing 10,000 crates per annum.
There are also produced yearly from
100 to 250 tons of dried prunes, 10,000
to 15,000 bushels of potatoes, 5,000 to
10,000 bushels of apples, 3,000 to 4sXH
bushels of pears, 15,000 to 20,000
pounds of cherries; 1,000 or more cords
of wood are cut annually and delivered
to Salem. Wheat, oats, baled hay, hops,
onions and other produce are raised in
abundance. The fruit season is being
extended so that the harvest will con
tinue from the first of June, when the
strawberries begin to be picked, until
November 1st, when the apples are
gathered. The soil surrounding Chem
awa is known for its great fertility,
there being a large amount of beaver
dam land, which is the best soil for
raising onions, celery and other vege
tables. The soil throughout this en
tire district is rich and productive and
all kinds of frnits and vegetables are
raised in large quantities and, a crop
failure isf something unknown. There
are many lovely homes on small farms
dotted here and there along this pro
posed line and we feel assured that
owing to the cheapness of the land and
the great fertility of the soil many
more people would be induced to buy
small farms, gardens orchards, and es
tablish homes which would add greatly
to the population pf the district as well
as to the business of the company.
With all these inducements, which are
facts, we are confident j that this pro
posed eleetrie car line extension would
prore a splendid paying proposition to
the company, and that its business
would greatly increase yearly y along
with the increase of population.
: ' The Chemawa, Hayesviile and
Keizer people are eager : to . have , this
electric car line built at once. ; They
fully realize that talk and hot air will
never construct this railroad and there
fore they are willing to put their hands
in their pockets and donate a liberal
bonus besides giving a right of way to
the company. They will also patronize
it extensively, making it one of the
beet paying, lines entering Salem. This
proposed car line would also, be a great
help financially to Salem from a busi
ness standpoint and we believe that the
merchants of the Capital City will be
g&d to render valuable and substantial
assistance in getting thisJine estab
lished. . ' ' 1
: ' In conclusion we feel confident that
the time is now ripe for action on this
important matter and we must all join
hands and do it now.
"Very respectfully,
. "T. W. POTTER.

LABORER SWALLOWED CHLORO
FORM TO DROWN HIS SOR- '
ROWS AND SUFFERED.
Was in a Dying Condition When
Reached, By the Physician, But
Prompt Measures Won the Battle
For Life Had Been Drinking Heav
ily and Wanted to Drown Sorrows.
(From Wednesday 's Daily.)
A tragedy Was quietly enacted in
the city last night, which came near
causing the death of the principal, as
he evidently desired. A nun giving
the name of Robt. L. Garcia, swallowed
enough chloroform to kill half a dozeu
men and then calmly informed his
friends of what he had done, and was
prepared to die. Dr. J. II. Brewer
was called at once, and after about two
hours hard work succeeded in bringing
the subject back to consciousness.
' Garcia, who 'is of Mexican descent,
came from Butte, Mont., where his par
ents reside, and has been for a short
time employed by the Oregon Nursery
Company as laborer. He boards at the
Powell boarding house, next door to
the Woolen Mill office, and rooms on
Commercial street, just south of the
red front barn, across the creek.
Last nrght he ate a, hearty sapper
shortly after 6 o'clock and while loung
ing in the parlor, before going to his
room, displayed a bottle of chloroform.
It was thought he was going to smell
of it for the headache and went out
onto the porch. He shortly returned
and told those present that he had
drank it, at the same time showing
that about two ounces was gone from
the bottle. He immediately became
violently ill and Dr. Brewer was sum
moned. When he arriwd at the board
ing house the man hadTlost conscious
ness, and to all "appearances, would
never have another opportunity to take
chloroform, or any sother drug. Dr.
Brewer immediately went to work on
him, "and with the help of those in fur
house? administered antidotes, and re
peatedly washed out his stomach with
a stomach pump. The man then began
to rally, and for an hour he suffered
the most intense agony possible for a
man to endure. Perspiration rolled
from his face in streams. He suffered
the agony of a dozen deaths, and will
probably not care f.o repeat the per
formance for some time to come. He
is a young man of powerful build, and
it required the efforts of three mep to
hold him on the couch while in the
struggles caused by his agony. ;After
some of the effects of the drug had
passed off and he was able to talk, he
did not' for some time understand tlte
cause of his troubles, and when he re
membered his foolish act, he seemed to
feel ashamed of his cowardice and
called himself many names which
would not look well in print. He will
ingly answered all questions, saying
that he made the attempt on his life to
drown his sorrows. He would not say
what his sorrows were, but as a mattor
of fact he has been drinking heavTTy
for several days, leaving his employ
ment at the nursery, and it is probable
that while sober last night, he was
overcome by remorse at his action, ankl
because he believed he would continue
in the same .waj-, leeided to end his
life at once. He said he had no inten
tion of taking the! medicine, and w.ln
asked why he bought , it, -replied "1
just went and bought it."
He said he had no sweetheart, or
other relatives to. trouble him, that he
lived with his parents in Butte, Mont.,
and that his father was a farrier hy
trade and was well-to-do. He asked
what had become of the chloroform,
and some one offered him the bottle,
asking him if he would like to fry it
again, but he replied that he wanted
no more of that kind of experience. He
will probably be well and able to tske
up his regular occupation today, al
though he suffered a great deal during
the night, and will be considerably
weakened by the experience.
