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 Tor Finnish Colony. j. 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 iae wuer orer to the club in order 10 inauee in em them to settle in or near this eity in ease it was deemed advis able. ; The i letter was referred to the committee on immigration to act upon. They represent tnat at least 105 fam ilies will join, anu that there is bright prospects of a large increase from the Last and Finland also. They request full particulars about quality of land, location, building of rnsili uhi), SESXl? l 'ed as condensed Milk Factory. W. O. Hemlow, of Astoria, construc tor of canning plants asked the club by letter if it wonld oe possible to es taolish a milk condensing plant in Sa lem, lie is agent of the American Con densary Supply and Equipment Co. of Detroit, Mick, which teaches the se cret processes of making condensed milk, and wants to incorporate a com pany of local capitalists. He offers to take $2600 in stock. The . letter was referred to a committee for considera tion. .' j ? " - . Tisn't safe to: be a day without Dr. Thomas Electric Oil in the house.

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. WANTED FOR LARCENY. E. J. McNulty Behind Bars Awaiting Arrival of Grants Pass 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 in the eity jail. Chief Gibson at once 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 morning's overland train. McNulty is wanted in the southern city to answer to a charge of larceny. It appears that while employed in a hotel in Grants Pass different articles of val- ue were purloined from tne Duuuing, it is alleged the crime was traced and to the ! hands of the man now under arrest. 1 ... ' . Amoag the articles to kare been stolen was an overcoat which McNulty has in) his possession. The prisoner however, declares he bought the gar ment from a man in Grants Pass and wore it at different times while em ployed in that city, and says he made no effort whatever to hide the eaat.

Beside Caah Bonns of 1000 Snbscribod They WC1 Donate Eight of Way and Work Toward. Construction of Road bed and Offer Guarantee' of Hundreds of Dollars Cash Faxes in Advance. (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. ' "L. T.

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. a , DOG PREVENTS ROBBERY GRANTS PASS, Or, Jan. 27.

Bold burglars, witE crowbars, drills and other tools, succeeded in prying open the rear door of the post office and in a few moments more ' would have been at work on the safe inside had it net been for the loud growls and barks of old Max, which attracted the atten tion of Night Policeman Stevens, and the would-be robbers fled.
