cember 1", ot a little more than a week
titer the convening of the regular ses
lion of congress. There was no oppor
tunity to consult tome of the Demo

the bill, but it is not doubted that they
will as-cut to the arrangement.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
CALIFORNIA Jr. OREOON COAST.
Protptcti for a Una From
Qrantt
Pea to Eureka.
Grants Pass Never were the proe
pect of a railroad from Grant Past
tonthward, through Josephine and th
southern counties of this ttate, and Del
Norte county, California, connecting
with tli line being built north to Jr.u
reka, at bright at at the present time.
For several months railroad talk haa
been at a low ebb in Southern Oregon,
especially that pertaining to the pro
posed Oregon & Pacific, but recently it
hat been revived, and in a way that
give promise of something definite be.
ing done. This road would open up a
large and rich mining section.
There haa been organized in San
Francisco, and incorporated in Cali
fornia, a concern known at the Cali
fornia A Oregon Coast railroad com
pany. It it organized with a capital
stock of $1,000,000, and several influ
ential men are behind the enterprise,
among them being John liarth, of Mil
waukee; B. V. Thomas, of New York;
J. O. B. Gunn, T. W. M. Draper, H.
H. Laidlaw and M. 8. Wilson of San
Francisco.
The purpose of the newly organized
company ia to build a line of railroad
from Granta Pass to Eureka, Cal., or
rather to tome point on Humboldt bay
The new company absorbs the old Ore
gon dc Pacific, and is more extenaivejn
itt scope thn the former company, as
it wat the original intention to build X
,lint only from Grant Past to Crescent
City, while the new road will extend
on south, connecting with the northern
built line to F.ureka, giving a new line
from Granta Pass to San Franciaco.
As has been previously stated, the
survey for the proposed road ia com
pleted, and grade stakes have been set
over a large part of the proposed route.
Right of way has also been secured for
a greater part of the line. Grounds for
sidings and stations have also been
granted, and the company is ready to
begin the actual construction of the
road with the arrival of the spring
months.
FIRB AT TILLAMOOK.
Courthouse Burned and Business Portion
of the City Threatened.
' Tillamook A disastrous fire occurred
here last week which entirely destroyed
the courthouse of Tillamook county
and seriously endangered the business
portion of the city.
When the fire was discovered the
building w as entirely ablaze and to save
it was impossible, but by the valiant
work of the fire company and citizens
many books and papers were saved from
destruction. The entire contenta of
tUe offices of the school superintendent
and the county surveyor were lost, and
most of the papers and books of the
assessor's offices weie burned, although
tht contents of the safe are thought to
bt intact.
This vear'a assessment roll wasl for
tunately saved.
Bills Vetoed fey Oovernor.
Salem If a special session of the
legislature should be called, other mat
ters than the tax law must receive
some attention. The governor t vetoes
in the last session constitute a sort of
"unfinished business" which must be
taken up by the legislature when it
next convenes. The governor said, af
ter sending out his letter, that he
did not intend to attempt to preclude
action upon these vetoed measures, for
the constitution particularly prescribes
what course shall be pursued, and the
governor could not prevent legislative
action, even if he so desired.
Attitude! la Union County.
La Grande A complete survey of
Union county has just been made by T.
R. Berry, United States geological sur
veyor, lias survey ueterminea the
geological as well as the topographical
formation of Union county. The alti
tude of all the streams and feeders have
been determined, at the source as well
as at the mouth The highest point in
I nion county is at the summit of Gran
ite mountain, which is a little over 8,-
000 feet. Mount Fannie, above Cove, is
7,000 feet, and the lowest point is at
the mouth of the Wallowa river, which
is 2,535 feet.
Carpenters ar Not to Be Had.
Pendleton There is a scarcity of car
penter in Pendleton. This is the sea
son for repairing old buildings, but
workmen cannot be secured. A num
ber ot people are desirous of construct
ing homes, but owing to the scarcity of
sien and materials, it is not likely any
new buildings will be started until
spring. There are irom io to .'U ouua-
ings under way, and carpenters are
busy on all of them. It is estimated
that there are fully 300 carpenters at
work on new buildings in different
parts of the city.
Big Buy of Wheat at Pendleton.
Pendleton W. S. Byers, the exten
sive flour manufacturer, has purchased
within the past few days 150,000 bush
els of choice wheat for milling purposes,
paying an average price of b7 cents.
the wheat was purchased from a few
large farmers, and as soon as the fact
became known by local buyers the price
immediately dropped to 64 cents. As
a result of this transaction there Is lit
tle doing just now in the local markets,
and farmers will continue to hold.
' Pays $19,507 for Land.
Pendleton A deed has been filed
with the county recorder whereby
Michael McCracker sold 2,000 acres of
Manuel Pedro for $15,507. The prop
erty it located several miles southwest
of Pendleton.
SNOW IN BLUE MOUNTAINS.
Promts of Plenty ol WaUr for Next
Year Big Pric for Haystack.
Baker City More than three feet of
snow has fallen in the mountains in
this vicinity during the past few days.
Such a heavy fall of snow this early in
the season is unusual, and while it has
its inconveniences, on the whole the
people regard it as a favorable con
dition, because it argues well for an
abundant supply of water for mining
and irrigation purposes next season.
It will be hard on stock, especially
shaep.on the ranges, but, as stockmen
generally are prepared for a bad winter
season, very little actual lost it antici
pated Sheepmen were obliged, on
account of the high price of hay, toaU
a goodly portion of their sheep, and
they are prepared to feed thoae they
have on hand until spring.
It is an ill wind that does not benefit
some one, and in this instance the bay
ranchman is the man w ho is gathering
in the harvest. Hay ia bay, and will
be until grass comes again.
One rancher in this vicinity recently
sold the hay in one big stack for $18,
000 cafeh. It was a big stack or rick,
and there is several thousand tout of
hay in the ttaci.
WHISTLER LEAVES HARNEY.
Reading of Water Oauget In Stream
Will Be Kept Up All Winter.
Burns John T. Whistler, engineer
in charge of the work being conducted
in Oregon by the reclamation service of
the United States geological survey,
has left for Pendleton. This will be
his final visit to Harney county for the
present year, as be will leave the state
for Washington. D. O, in December,
to take up the work of making a de
tailed exposition of the present year's
fieldwork in Oregon.
Mr. Whistler has had three parties
of engineers in the field in this state
all summer, one of these parties having
been engaged since June in Surveying
the proposed reservoir site in Silvie's
valley, and also in working out tht de
tails of an irrigation system to carry
water therefrom to the subjacent lands
in Harney valley.
The approach of bad weather has
drawn the work for this year to a con
clusion, with the exception that the
reading of water gauges m the streams
will be kept up without interruption.
End Fruit Tret Shipping.
Milton The season for shipping
small fruit trees has closed. It is esti
mated that 12,500 trees have been
shipped out to all parts of the west,
middle and eastern states during the
past two weeks. About 10 cars have
been shipped in the past 10 days. As
the season was short this year, many of
the smaller trees had to be expressed,
as it would delay matters too long to
send them by freight. Samuel Miller
has one of the largest nurseries in East
ern Oregon, and there are several fruit
men who have small nurseries.
Indorse the Assay Office.
Baker Citv The Miners' association
of Sumpter has passed resolutions
adopting the action of Senator Mitchell
in introducing a bill for the eatablish
ment of a government assay office at
Portland. The association of this citv.
will endorse the movement for an assay
office but will insist that it be located
in this city. Representative Moody
almost succeeded in securing tht pas
sage of a bill for an assay office in this
city at the last session of congress.
