Change O. It. & TV. Time Card. As a result of the meeting of officials of the Harriman lines in Salt Lake Mon day, the time card of the O. R. & N. i.. to uaderi.0 a decided change this month. The time of arrival and departure of all trains between Portland and Oerden will be altered and a'n improved schedule will go into effect. President Mohler and the other local officials of the road, who were in attendance upon the meet ing in the Morman City, arrived home Wednesday, and they express them selves as well pleased with the results of the conference. It is believed that the change will be welcome by every one. The exact time of arrival and de parture has not been settled as yet, but Superintendent O'Brien stated last night that according to present arrangements the schedle will probably be as follows: No. 2, east bound, leave Portland at 8:45 a. m., instead of 9:20. No. G, east bound, leave Portland at 7:45 p. m., instead of 8:15. No. 1 arrive at Portland at G p. m. in stead of 4:30. No. 5 arrive at Portland at 9:30 a. m. instead of 10:30. Mr. O'Brien stated it might be found necessary to change these times 15 min utes one way or the other, but 1 e thought the above schedule would prove satisfactory. New Irrigation Company. Articles of incorporation were filed in the office of the county clerk at Pendle ton Wednesday by T. B. Van Cleve, II C. Rogers, Charles McBee, B. L, Sheri dan and R. B. Stanfield, creating the Butter Creek Irrigation Company, with a capital stock of $5000, divided into 500 shares of $10 each. The principal place of business of the company will be located at Echo, and it declares its intention of taking the wa ters of the Umatilla river and its tribu taries for domestic and irrigating pur poses, and for the furnishing of power and the watering of stock in dry pas tures and other general uses.

Portage ltallway ICattmates. Salem, Or., Nov. G. The State Board of Portage Railway Commissioners held a brief meeting today and audited a number of bills incurred in making the preliminary survey for the right of way. The report of the engineer, previous ly made orally, was submitted in writ ing and placed on file. This report con tains among other things the estimates made by the erjgineer for the informa tion of the board concerning the prob able cost of each class of wort and ma. terials necessary for the construction and equipment of the road. As the board is to receive bids for fur nishing the material and work and the publication of the estimates might in terfere with their securing the lowest possible bids, the details of the esti mates are not made public. It is stated, however, that the total comes inside the state appropriation of $105,000, with a small overplus that may be used in de fraying the expense of procuring a right of way. The report says thai as originally sur veyed, the road would twice cross the O. R. & N. tracks at Celilo, but upon learning all the circumstances, it had been decided to change the course so that the portage road would run paral lel with the O. R. & N. tracks 'for a short distance and between the railroad and the buildings of J. H. Taffe. The engineer reports that all his work has been completed and that he will have nothing further to do until the state's condemnation suit comes to trial. The Value of Itadium. Id regard to the value of radium, ra dium chloride of the activity of 240 sells for about $30 an ounce. The ra dium salts used by the author in the experiments at the American Museum of Natural History. 127 milligrams equal to about one-eighth of a gram or 1 249 of an ounce represented a value of $274, or a rate of $64,800 per ounce troy. This radium was of the activity of 300,000. The museum ordered, at the request of Edward D. Adams, of New York City, and as a gift to carry on the investigations, radium of an ac tivity of 1,800,000, valued at $600 for 100 milligrams, or at the rate of $198,000 per ounce. The small sample used rep re-ents the concentration of more than one ton of pitchblende; the 1,800,000 sample, probably th concentration of four or five tons, and yet the entire quantity could be put in the end of a thimble and not occupy one fourth of the space remaining between that and the finger. Radium compounds with an activity of 40 can be bought for $20 an ounce. It is only when it has been fractionated and increased in its activity that it becomes very costly like steel, itself worth only a trifle per pound, but woith many times the value of gold whin manufactured into watch springs. As will be observed from a notice ap. pearing in another column, the partner ship heretofore existing between Walter Lyon and Otis Patterson in the publica tion of the Astorian has been dissolved by mntual consent. Mr. Lyon will look after business interests elsewhere in the state, while Mr. Patterson will continue publication of the paper. Astorian.

"I was troubled with catarrh for years and tried various remedies but found noth ing that would cure me. I then resolved to try Hood's Sarsaparilla and took four bottles which entirely cured me. I have never been troubled with catarrh since. As a blood purifier I can find nothing else equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla." Wiluam Sherman, 1030 6th St., Milwaukee, Wis.

The state land board has appointed the irrigation commission provided for by the last legislature, the duty of which will be to draft an irrigation bill to be presented to the legislature at its next session and to codify Oregon's irrigation laws. The gentlemen appointed are: Henry E. Ankeny of Sterling and C. W. Mallet of Ontario, both practical irriga tors ; T. G. Halley of Pendleton ard Zera Snow Portland, attorneys, and II. V. Gates of Hillsboro, a civil engineer. The senate concurrent resolution, under which these appointments were made, provides that the personnel of the board shall consist of gentlemen of these sev eral professions. The purpose is to se cure legislation to make it possible and practical to carry into effect the Carey act. The Osage country is a land where baby may always be sure of a large wel come. For one reason, he has an earn ing capacity from the day he is born, which is often quite as great as his father's. One of the next things after naming the little pappoose is to go to Pawhnska, the capital of their nation, and have its name put upon the payroll. Once every three months Uncle Sam pays up the interest on the money which he holds in trust for them, and the amount paid to each Indian varies from time to time according to how many have gone to the Happy Iluntirg Ground and how many wee ones have come to take their places since last pay day.
