If the storm hints two mere days the

Driven by a high wind off Lake
Michigan, tho snow today Is sweeping
through the brick canyons of the

If tho snow continues to full it Is
feared that practically all traction

Lone Bandit Holdsup Train
in Heart of City Robbed
Express Clerk and Es

united mess ijsabkd wiiie.1
Chicago, Feb. 1. The depredations
of Jesse James, the Younger boys and
other old-time desperadoes were
backed oft tbo boards here today by
the operations of a lone bandit, who
last night held up an express train In
the heart of Chicago's business dis
trict and fought his way to freedom
with loot variously estimated at from
$50,000 to $100,000.
The robbery, one of the boldest In
Chicago's history, was the work of a
steel-nerved man. Using a blue hand
kerchief for a mask, the bandit forced
the express messenger to turn over
the key to his safo, containing yes
terday's entire receipts at the Union
Stock Yards. The contents were
thrown Into a leather bag, and the
bandit started to leave the car.
The conductor, armed with a revolv
er, attempted to block the robebr's
path, but was knocked down by a
blow from the robber's, fist. Then the
bandit jumped from the train, and,
mingling with the theatre crowds In
the street, escaped.
The robbed train Is known as tho
"Stock Yards Special," and Is used to
carry money and valuable express
packages between the stock yards and
the down-town district. Although the
chief clerk of Adams Express com
pany stated today that the loss Is not
more than $3000, the police Insisted
that the train never carried loss than
$50,000, and assorted that the loss
would exceed the latter figure.
EASTERN YOUNG MEN

anxious to be made the head of tho

Would Hold
More Than
Forty Days
There Is a possibility that the legis
lature will remain In session fivo or
six days longer than the allotted forty
days In order to finish Its work. There
Is no constitutional bar to the legisla
ture remaining In session ns long as
It wants to, but after the official forty
days' session each member would have
to pay ills own expenses, tho stato puy
stopping.
Speaker McArthur himself sounded
tho slogan for a longer session late
yesterday In an address In which he
complimented the house for Its hard
work so far and fidelity to duty. Ho
hoped that that body's zeal would con
tinue and that hereafter there would
bo no adjournment except on Sundays.
Tho house was practically compelled
to adjourn from late yesterday until
Monday boeaiino of tho nbsenco of so
ninny members on various Investigat
ing and junketing trips.
McArthur's suggestion for a longer
session nt their own expense seemed
to meet with a kindly reception, but
ninny, members expressed thomsolves
as Bkcptlcn that a quorum would
agree to remain In session after forty
days. They point out that most mem
bers are cervlng tho stato at personal
financial sacrifice, are neglecting their
private business, nnd will be only too
anxious to get to their homes nnd
places of business as soon as tho offi
cial session ends.
"I do not know Just how you feel
about the work of the session, espe
cially as to the bills that are still bo
fore us," said Speaker McArthur In
his address.
"We have a mountain of work ahead
and I, for one, enn see right now that
wo are not. going to to complete It In
the tlnm allotted, that is, the regular
four-week period. Hy working 40 full
days and counting no holidays In, we
cannot do It, nfid do the work justice.
"I do not liko to tell you gentlemen
whnt you should do, but I will suggest
to you that, In my opinion, this house
could do nothing Mint would so fully
and amply express tho deep Interest
tho members take In tho business of
tho session than to remain hero until
all tho work la done, even If we have
to pay our own expenses for a few
days."
"I don't think tliero would bo any
objection on tho part of tho people of
Oregon If wo were to stay in session
at our own expenso until tho Impor
tant work Is completed. In fact I
think such a move would meet with
their commendation."
Even though knowing no more about
It than a professional weather man.
might as well predict and early. anil
fine spring.

The Lake
Involved
in Dispute
Proposed Change of County
Boundary Would Put Mar
ion Lake in Linn-Best Wat
er Power in the State
Tho kernel of the whole fight be
tween Marlon and Lnu counties over
the boundary question is the posses
sion of Marion lake. Engineers who
have examined the lake and Marlon
creek, which flows out of tho lake Into
tho Santiam, declare that it will fur
nish the best water power In tho state,
and It Is said that Portland promoters
and certain Salem men whose names
have not been mado known, are be
hind a proposed project to develop the
power.
A Portland engineer who has recent
ly investigated the possibilities of the
stream says that Marlon crock will de
velop 150,000 horsepower, and that the
power can bo brought to Salem and
sold at the nominal sum of $9 per
horsepower per annum. Water horse
power Is said ordinarily to sell for
about $."i0 per horsepower. Power soils
In Portland for $15.
Two Coiitenillmr Rills.
. Tho two sides of tho question are
represented In tho senate by Senators
Carson and Miller each of whom hns
Introduced a hill. Tho Carson bill
holds to tho line that has been recog
nized as the line for years. It Is con
tended that tho only part of tho legis
lation which created that boundary is
that which made tho lino extend east
from tho Cascade mountains to tho
summit of the Rocky mountains, all
of tho territory east of tho Cascado at
at that time to tho Rockies being In
cluded in tho Oregon country.
As described the line extends up the
Willamette river to tho Santiam
thence up tho Santiam to the North
Fork; thence along the North Fork to
tho Cascado mountains; tlienco east to
tho summit of tho Rocky mountains.
The bill Introduced by Senator Mil-.
lor, of Linn county, would describe the
lino ns follows:
Up tho Wlllamotte river to tho San
tiam; tlienco up the Santiam to tho
mouth of tho Whitewater; tlienco east
on tho nearest section lino to tho sum
mlto of tho Cascado mountains.
Tho result of following tho White
water Instead of tho North Fork would
I be that not only Marlon lako, but a
i largo area of country formed by the
j southern bearing of tho North Fork
and Including several small Marlon
county towns would bo cut. off from
Marlon and placed In Linn county.
Mill City, Gabs, (Iroen Basin nnd De
troit would bo among these.
