LEWISTON. Idaho. Sept. 7. (Spe cial.) Reports received from the tipper -waters of the Clearwater river Indi cate the long-talked war between the Hill and Harriman Interests for tie su premacy In the rich Clearwater country Is on, but In an unexpected section of the country and where the preaent Hill lines will be pf little advantage in the struggle now on. The Northern Pacific with Its Clear water line extending from Lewfston to Etltes.' a distance of 80 miles, elt se cure against any attack from the Har riman lines on the west, and It has been generally expected the O. R. 4 N. Company would make a dash for the upper valley where heavy shipments of farm and timber products make the Northern Pacific investments most profitable. Scene Shifts to Salmon River. The Invasion has come from the. southeast where the Harriman interests are now engaged in the constrnctlon of the Pittsburg & Gllmore down salmon river from a point on the poeatello- Butte line, and engineers of that com pany are now making a location through the Dixie and Elk City mining- districts, where large bodies of low-grade ore now await transporta tion' to smelters, and where large areas are covered with white Or, the wood product necessary to the manufacture of paper. The Idaho route for the Pittsburg i & Gllmore was selected several years ' aa-o by a Sir. Pope, who visited this ' section aa a rich Easterner, and hired ! experienced mountaineers to take him through the Bitter Roots in search of ' -wild game. An entire season was de voted to this character of scouting, and when the guides returned theV told of the mlsMon of their patrofi. but have never made publio the result or the investigations. The next year the chief engineer of the Pittsburg & Oil more made boat trip from Salmon City to Lewlston and the construction of the road in the Upper Salmon Valley Is well inaugurated. Road Will Be Klcta Feeder: The engineers who have sounded the alarm In Northern Pacific circles are engaged In the location of a line from a point on Salmon river near the mouth of Mallard creek, through th mining districts to the South Forr of the Clearwater river, where easy grades to the Camas and Nei Perce prairies are found and which would rob the Norths ern Pacific of more than one-half of Its entire -Clearwater and prairie tonnage. The mining-district cutoff from the Falmon to the Clearwater was first suggested 10 days ago when Pittsburg & Gllmore engineers appeared at Dixie, but within a few days the- entire dis tance was lined with surveyors and 1 pack-trains. The Northern Pacific has inaugurated a counter-movement by , pending a party of locating engineers to Harpeter, nine miles above Stites, to locate a line into Elk City. The line from Stites to Harpster was lo oated several years ago. and surveys within six miles of ,Elk City were made. The entire line from Stites to Elk City would be about B6 miles long, and fit Is believed only the immediate construction of this extension can save for the Northern Pacific one of the best tonnage-producing sections of -the upper Clearwater. The unexpected attack from the east has placed a new phase on the Central Idaho and Clearwater situation, and It Is believed the HUl-Harrlman fight will be relentlessly waged from this time. EXGIXEER KTLE VISITS BOD Chief of Construction of Oregon Trunk Inspects Work. BEND, Or., Sept. 7. (Special.) George A. Kyle, the newly appointed chief of the construction management of the Oregon Trunk Railroad, was in Bend' yesterday evening. With him was Robert Ray, the engineer who put through the Central Oregon survey, recently purchased by the HiU Interests, who is now in charge of the construction forces at and near Trail Crossing, whence the party had come In the Porter automobile. After a brief consultation with Engineer Wakefield, head of the survey camp at Bend, the car again took the rond for the north. Mr.' Kyle, it will be remembered, has Just resigned his position as division engineer on the Chicago. Milwaukee & 6t- Paul road to take charge of the build ing operations along the Deschutes. To Mr. Kay, the other member of the party belongs the honor of having been the first, and probably the only, man who has actually traversed tlio entire survey between Bend and the Columbia. Those familiar with the route covered maintain it a dubious honor, asserting that, after all, its chief value Is that It positively convinces the honored one of the vital necessity of railroad transportation. " The surveying crew located at Bend en countered luck last nlht. Its outward and visible sign was the arrival of a wagonload of portly and delectable water melons: its real occasion the opportune occurrence of a lawn festival, whose pro ceeds were devoted to the enlargement of the local library. At all events, chasing compasses over the lava rock and sighting future rail roads through transits as all-day occupa tions cannot be equaled as appetite pro ducers. RouBed by the music of the Bend Band, the sunbrowned surveyors marched In force upon the festival refreshments. MARKET PLACE 'PROVIDED Oregon City Business Men Organize Commission Company.

STEWART WANTS 4 MEETING Kelso Candidate Anxious for Con ference to Decide Who of Aspir ants - Can Secure the Strongest Support. KELSO, Wash. - Sept. 7. (Special.) A combination of the six .Columbia River counties In the Second Congressional dis trict of the State of Washington 1b pro posed by friends of F. L. Stewart, of this city, for the purpose of presenting the name of an &gied-upon candidate to the 'coming Republican convention which will nominate a candidate for the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Jr. W. Cushman. - There are two avowed aspirants for the nomination In the six Columbia River counties, F. L. Stewart, of Kelso, State Senator- from Cowl Its County, and tX B. Beard, newspaper publisher of Van couver. "My friends and X;are ready to go into a conference with Mr. Beard and his supporters' for the purpose of determin ing who can control the greater support in the Columbia River counties." said Senator Stewart, today, "the one ex hibiting the lesser strength to withdraw. "A combination of Columbia River counties would give us a working force in the convention that might serve to attract the strength of other I counties and result In the nomination of a candi date from the extreme southwestern portion of the estate." Strength of Counties. - The" Columbia River counties and their respective representation in the. coming convention are as follows: Clark 19,' Cowlltx 17, Klickitat 12, Pa cific 14. Skamania 4, Wahkiakum 6. I The total strength of the six counties is 72 delegates, or two more than will rep resent Pierce County, which is the largest in the dis.rlct. Pierce County with Its 70 votes Is looked upon as likely, to dominate the will of the convention and to nominate a Taco ma man unless the smaller counties 1 of tha district combine In equal or greater strength. The Columbia River counties now have only the two men named In the field and are apparently in better poslr tion to form a combination than any others. 1 Pierce County for Ashton.. Each of the larger counties has a favorite son whose name will -be pre sented to the convention. As the result of the advisory primaries in Pierce County, Tacoma will likely be solid for James M. Ashton, who, aside from the backing of the largest county In the dis trict, lias a personal fitness for the posi tion that -will make him a formldablo candidate. Chehalis County and the Grays Harbor country are backing W. .E. Finch, a lumber man-, and will , have 32 'votes In the convention. Lewis Couffty, with 23 votes, has a candidate in the person of U. E. Har mon, a lawyer. Thurston County, with 16 delegates. Is expected to support Charles E. Clay pool, of Olyrrrpia. The- friends of Mr. Claypool and Ir. P. H. Carlyori, a mem ber of the Legislature, recently con ferred and Dr. 'Cartyon decided that he would not be a candidate. In addition to all the counties named In the foregoing there are Jefferson with nine delegates and Clallam with ten delegates in the Pacific Coast portion of the district Mason, with six delegates, It Is believed. Is likely to go- with Thurs ton. Total Delegation 2 38. y The foregoing figures as to representa tion ln the convention are only approxi mate, as the convention has not yet been called or the apportionment officially made, but they are believed to be fairly accurate. They place the total number of delegates In the convention at 238, making 130 a majority. A Columbia River combine would put Pierce County in a position where, if It drew all the free lance counties', It would then have only Finch and the 32 Chehalis County delegates to look to, for a com bination with Harmon In Lewis County would not swing tha majority. On the other hand the Columbia River combine with its "2 votes, if it could get" all the counties not fled, up to favorite sons, could obtain a majority by securing either Chehalis or Lewis. Tt i heliv7n here that there Is ia sentiment existing throughout the smaller counties in favor of taking the Congress man away from Tacoma this year. Taco ma was long represented by Cushman, and for six years had Foster In the Senate as well as Cushman in the House. The Columbia River counties, it Is argued, should be particularly anxious to have a home man in Congress, as they have been neglected in the past. C ... TT,.. . C,nn,v, From this standpoint friends of Stewart assert that he . Is the logical candidate. He was instrumental in- securing the passage by the last Legislature of the first effective uniform fishing laws affect ing the Columbia River that have yet been enacted. Not only did his afforus extend to the Washington Legislature, "hut to the Oregon body as well. Senator Stewart does not claim all the credit for activity in this respect, however, as both Senator McGowan, of Faciflc County, and Representative Burke, of Wahkakurh County, were Instrumental in securing th-a adoption of the new laws. It is claimed for Senator Stewart that he has shown an ability to accomplish resulta In the Interests of his constitu ents. It Is also asserted for him that he has mad a clean record throughout If the regular ' and special sessions, and while not taxing up tne tune or tne Senate very much in debate or speech making, helped accomplish results for the state -at large, showing a fair mind toward the localities outside his own dis trict. While It Is argued here that a Colum bia River combine would give this sec tion of the state a fair chance of naming the Congressman, it would In any event enable the delegations to exact pledges from the successful nominee that would secure better recoffnltion . and harder work for the interests of the Columbia River."

(Special.) News and editorial utterances of The Oregonlan wpre emphatically confirmed here today before the State- Board of Equalization, when taxing officers of a number of counties In the wheat growing districts testified regarding certain reductions from last -year in personal property assessments, which evidence directly and completely prove the falsity of the estimate of grain in gTowers' hands issued by Secretary bf Agriculture Wilson last Summer, which estimate had previously been exposed as worthless by The Oregonlan. Today the State Board of Equaliza tion heard representatives of counties lying east of the mountains explain the assessments fixed by the several boards of .equalization. In every In stance, where the current reports showed a reduction from the figures of 1908, it was up' to the county rep resentatlves to explain. In Instance after instance these rep resentatives pointed out that last year the rolls carried many thousands of dollars of assessments of wheat In warehouses and in barns. This year the assessors report that on March 1, when the assessment was made, the warehouses and barns were practically empty. As a result the rolls on this item show many thousands of dollars less property. On other items, such as stocks of merchandise, the Increases show the assessors were capable and careful, eliminating any possible question as to Inaccuracy of the assessment of wheat on hand and add to the overwhelming proof that Secretary Wilson's report of millions of bushels of wheat on hand in this state, when the Patton corner was organized, was absolutely false BARBER LAND SUIT FAILS Judge Bean Dismisses Attempt to 4 Cancel Timber Entries.
