Riverside, from where my last dispatch was sent. 80 miles from Vale. and. as before stated, work Is being done to a point three miles east of there, Corey Bros, being the contractors, on the section between the 73 and 80-mile posts, on which stretch of work they are now employing about ?00 men. Our party, consisting of William Hanley. W. P. Davidson, Pauf Blckle. Curley. the chauffeur, and your cor respondent reached Riverside by auto, Mr. Davidson and the writer coming from Portland via Redmond. Mr. Bickle was picked up at Prinevllle and Mr. Hanley and his chauffeur at Burns. Mr. Davidson Is one of the principal owners of the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain land grant lands, which are being handled by the Ore gon & Washington Colonization Com pany, with offices at Portland, Prine vllle, Burns. Ontario and various other places. These lands about 1.000.000 acres are now on the market in tracts to suit purchasers, the prices being reasonable and the terms of payment very long. Mr. Bickle is an irrigation engineer of wide reputation and undoubted skill. His home is at Twin Falls. Idaho. He was a guest of Mr. Davidson and was looking over the grant lands for a pur pose not expressed. And Mr. Hanley?

As all terlor of the state which promises any I 0f this material has to be hauled In over publicity or benefit, you will find Mr. rough roads bv teams, it will be seen Hanley there or near there. And on trip like ours he was a guide beyond value. He knew everybody we met, could tell who lived now and who had formerly lived in every house we passed, could point out every place of interest, knew every hill and every valley, could picture every kink and bend In the streams, and, above all, constant fire of wit and his company for five or six a country he knows every kept up wisdom, to be in days In foot of. The next point down the river from Riverside designated as a town is Jun tura, at the Junction of the Malheur with its eastern fork. Juntura is about 18 miles due north from River side, but following the railway survey it is considerably farther, the river being very crooked. And the canyons are so precipitous that one can get through only on foot or on horseback. Traveler! Trike to Trail. So we left the railway route at River side and took the trail off to th- north east, then to the east and down to the little town oi Juntura, whlrh lies in a magnificent valley, most of which is ir rigated. The old town, consisting of a that great extra expense is being en countered. They could be put in at a saving of from 25 to 40 per cent if the road was in operation up to them. And if the road was Intended only as a make shift, or transient route, something to be rebuilt later, there would be no bridges tnere at all: a detour of a mile or so would be made around the river's bend. Looking- north across the Harper basin, as this valley is called, the work It was certainly a great treat! trains may be seen going back and forth from ale to the mouth of the canyon, where the Malheur enters the valley. The road is all completed save ballast ing across the valley and about five miles up the canyon, or 15 miles in all. Most of the grading is done up to the tunnel, and long before the bad weather sets in this Kali trains will be running as far as bridge No. 3 and. possibly to the tunnel. ' VarlotiM Reports Set at Rent. When your correspondent was told to go over the route of this new road he was Informed that reports were "some what" at variance as to the number of men at work on construction, the ng ures going from 500 to 7000. And other reports said the road was being con structed In a cheap way. with heavy and adverse grades, and that it would not be completed until after the Pan ama Canal is opened. To set all such reports at rest here is a list of the contractors and the num W.tewl mm- m -Ami store, hotel, blacksmith shop, postoffice ber of men employed on each stretch of road.

The full plant for furnishing electricity and com pressed air is at the east end, the wires and pipes passing to the west end over the mountain. The drive around the mountain, by which route the supplies foi the west-end work and for all of the contractors on the work west of the tunnel. Is about five miles. A good road has been constructed on this stretch, and above that up to the canyon above Jun tura.

LAWYER HAS DEFENDERS XEYV YORK LEGAL BODY SAYS CHARGES INSULT GEORGE. Disbarment Proceedings Result in Refusal of Eastern Organization to Convene at San Jose. SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. Because the San Francisco Bar Association is seeking to have Charles E. George, a 3 attorney, disbarred from practice in this state on a charge of having fraud ulently obtained his certificate, the In ternational Law Association and Med Ico-Legal Society of New York has written a letter to the Bar Association which says in part: "Because of the insult offered our honored trustee, Charles E.

BAG HOLDS $5000 WORTH Investigation Begun as Result of Disclosures at Honolulu May Be Extended to All Calling Ports In Pacific. HONOLULU. Aug. 20. Smugglers of opium in their efforts to circumvent the customs authorities at American ports have been using United States mall bags as carriers of the contraband drug and evidently have succeeded in bringing many thousands of dollars" worth of opium into island and pos sibly mainland ports. The discovery of this method of smuggling, which was made some time ago. has been kept secret by the Gov ernment officials who have been In vestigating. On the. steamer Man churia, which arrived at Honolulu on August 8 from the Orient, a mail bag was found which, instead of contain ing letters, was stuffed with 35000 worth of opium. Mall Bag Seized at Wharf. Either mail bags long have been used for this purpose by collusion be tween postal employes here and at some Oriental port, or the bag had been opened aboard the Manchuria, the mail destroyed and the tins of opium placed in the bag. The bag had been manifested from Nagasaki, Japan. It was seized at the wharf here, when the mall was landed by customs offi cers who apparently had advance in formation concerning the scheme or the smugglers. Assistant United States Attorney-Gen eral Gordon arrived here recently and began an investigation in which he was assisted by C. R. Stackable, col lector of the port; R. W. Breckons, United States Attorney in the islands, and Joseph G. Pratt, the postmaster of Honolulu. They had been engaged for a week in endeavoring to clear up the mystery and ascertain who were en gaged in the smuggling conspiracy. Kxtended Inquiry Promised. It is believed the investigation will be extended to all calling ports of the steamships that ply between Manila and San Francisco. Assistant United States Attorney- General Gordon went from here to Japan and it is believed his mission is to continue his investigations in Jap anese ports in an endeavor to find the ringleaders of the smuggling ring. STUDENTS WILL BENEFIT Willamette University Library Rc- catalogued by Eastern Expert. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salom, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) For several months past Miss Lucia Haley, of the Pratt Institute, New ork city, has been engaged in recataloguing the vol umes of the Willamette University li brary. Miss Haley comes highly rec ommended as a specialist in this fea ture of library work, and her efforts here fully justify her advance indorse ments. Miss Haley Is assisted by Dr. Lyle, the regular university librarian, and a couple of others familiar with this line of work. The new cataloguing of library books has become necessary owing to a large number of recent additions in the way of gifts from alumni and other friends of old Willamette. Also as the result of a careful inventory of the present works possessed by the university, the institution will be able intelligently to select and purchase additions to those lines in which a shortage is found. A large addition to the books of the library was arranged, for some time ago. but the work being done by Miss Haley was first considered necessary. Miss Haley will be given sufficient sistance to complete the work prior to the university opening September 26, GALLOWS LOOMS FOB 7 CAUFORXIA GOVERNOR RE FUSES FURTHER CLEMEXCY.

Utterly Wretched JVervoiiji Prostration ' Long Endured Before Remedy Was Found. Miss Minerva Reminger, Upper Bern, Pa., writes: "For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not re tain anything lse. I took many rem edies, but obtained no relief until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla when I began to gain at once.
