MEMBER OF LEGISLATURE
IS ELIGIBLE FOR PLACE
Tttorney - General Crawford this
morning gave an opinion relative to
membership on the Panama Exposition
commission. The question was brought
up by Treasurer Kay, who wanted to
know whether or not a member of the
last legislature, which created the com
mission, could be a member of the com
mission. Tho attorney-general holds
that such a thing is permissible as the
law merely lays down that an office
holder cannot bo a legislator. Further
more, tho position being only honorary
would permit a member of the legisla
ture being on the commission.

Offers by Tom Alexander to Locate It
for Portland People Lead to His
Arrest.
OFFERS TO SPLIT WITH
DECTECTIVES IN ROSE CITY
Close to $200,000 in Loot Said to Have
Been Buried by Train Robbers Mid
Others.
Portland, June 21. Offers made by
Tom Alexander, a paroled convict, to
lead Detectives Tichenor and Abbot
to a spot where money and valuables
worth more than $200,000 aro buried
are puzzling the detectives, who believe
that, while Alexander cannot do what
ho pretends, he probably has some ink
ling of a real "plant," his description
of the supposed loot answering to that
which was taken from a Union Pacific
train near Ogden about three years ago.
Alexander, after serving three years
of a 15-year term from Klamath Falls,
was paroled some months ago, and has
been in Portland. Yesterday it came
to the ears of tho detectives that he
was going about the North End trying
to enliRt some one in a mysterious ex
pedition, and they went after him.
On tho way to detective headquarters
Alexander offered to take the detec
tives into his confidence, promising that
the loot should be "Split three ways."
One-third, he said, must go toward ef
fecting the release of an unnamed
man now in the state penitentiary, and
the remainder would be divided between
himself and tho detectives.
Cash Placed at $190,000.
Except that it is out of flit, state of
Oregon, Alexander would give no hint
of the hiding pace, but ho said it con
tained $150,000 In jarer monsv, IiV.umO
in goTd and a large quantity of iewelry
arc8 registered mail It would est
$5Gu to unearth it, he said.
"Why don't you go after it Jjone,"
he was asked.
"I can't leave the state and, besides,
I have no money. Yon can hold a gun
on me all the way, and if I don 't make
good, shoot."
After questioning the man at length,
the detectives summoned Deputy Sher
iff Curtis, who is a state parole officer,
and had custody of Alexander while
warden of the penitentiary. Mr. Curtis
believes that the man in the peniten
tiary whose release is to be effected is
Ed-. Jergens, sentenced to 10 years to
life for a stage holdup and frequently
mentioned in connection with the train
holdups which have ocurred on the
Southern Pacific road at Cow Creek
canyon. Jorgins, however, says Alex
ander, is not the man he refers to.'
"Don't be a mutt," whispered Alex
ander to Detective Tichenor, as Curtis
led him away. "The money is there,
and you might as well have it as any
one." While no confidence. is placed by the
authorities in the story as told by
Alexander, all of them arc inclined to
believe that he may have gathered
prison gossip of some significance, as
great quantities of valuables stolen in
a number of train holdups nover have
come to light. Deputy Curtis will hold
Alexander for further investigation.
POMONA GRANGE PICNIC
AT NORTH HOWELL ENJOYED
A crowd of jolly Salem people went
to North 'Howell Wednesday, June IS,
to attend a Pomona Orange picnic. The
tables fairly groaned with the good
things to eat, and, after dinner, the
people groaned. There was no doctor
present, but thero was a minister, and,
as they sometimes follow the doctor,
the people felt safe.
Thero was an excellent program ren
dered, consisting of music and sponking.
Among the speakers was Dr. Withy
combe, of- Corvallis, who spoke along
the line of dairying and cheaper inter
est on money for tho farmers to carry
on farming, and a great many things
of interost to farmers.
The farmers of North Howell have a
nieo grange hall and church. In the
grange of North Howell they have a
lnnjscape gardener, who did the decor
ating for, this occasion, and the hall
was' surely, most beautiful sight.
Tho Salem people came home feeling
they were in tho shade when it -amc to
entertainment, aftor the royal enter
taining of North Howell, and it is iheir
greatest wish that they will bo invited
again. Those from Salem attending
were: Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Mr. nnd
Mrs. C. H. Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Sellwood, Mrs. Keene, Mrs. Towtincnd,
Mrs T. C. Davidson, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Hofma and T. A. Myers.
Last week it was the festival makers
and visitors who wanted no rain; this
week it is the haymakers. Weather
prnyers am nover unanimous.
T The farmer says it costs
him so much for his gro-
ceries that he isn't laying X
up a cent. Who gets the 1
J money?
As heaven is his witness,
the jobber is innocent; its
the manufacturer who is
getting rich, says he. Who
gets the money?

Pacific Heating & Engineering Com
pany's Work Not Satisfactory
in Past Says Board.
COX GETS CONTRACT WITH
SOMEWHAT HIGHER TENDER
Labor Unions Strongly Opposed to Let
ting Contract to Pacific People
and Protested.
The board of control yesterday
awarded the heating contract for the
new supreme court building to W. W.
Cox, of Portland. Although the Pa
cific Heating & Engineering company
bid $10,877 on the work, and Mr. Cox
bid $20,231, the board felt that as the
work done heretofore by the Pacific
company had not been satisfactory the
board was justified in rejecting their
bid and awarding tho same to next low
est which was Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox said
later that he would do "the work for th;
same figure as was asked by the Pa
citic company.
The trouble with the Pacific compa
ny arose over some work that was done
on the asylum and the tubercular insti
tution and declared to be inferior by
the governor and the secretary of state.
Labor unions were also against
awarding tlje the contract to the Paci
fic people and even went so far as to
send a delegate here to protest against
the confpany. Tho governor and secre
tary say that this action on the part of
the labor unions had nothing to do with
their decision. ' .i
The plumbing contract was awarded
to Griggs & Co. whose bid was $4454.
