Wallowa.—Trains will be running on regular schedule into this city on September 20. Such is the announce nient made by II. II. Weatherspoon, agent for the <). R. & N. at Elgin, who received the information from the leadquarters of the company last week and such are the instructions received by Engineer Brandon, of the con st ruction department. Great progress has been made by the tracklaying crew the past few weeks, and the road has emerged from the Wallowa canyon and entered the Wallowa valley. lor months the road has been building through a winding canyon, between crags, along a picturesque mountain stream that will render it one of the most scenic bits of road in the state. Progress naturally has been slow’ for nearly all the rails have been laid on curves and had to be bent. Many bridges, culverts and trestles have been necessary, and the roadbed has needed much repair For more than twenty miles this work has been fol lowed until the track reached the val ley. ______ _ Line Nearly Completed. La Grande Regular traffic into Wallowa county over the newly con- strncted Wallowa county extension will begin September 21 according to a statement from headquarters, but this event will be preceded by a pop- • ular excursion on the 20th, when the O. R. & N. will run excursion trains to Wallowa from here. This will in- augnrate the service. The track lias now b en laid to Wallowa town, the construction reaching that point to- night. _________ BUILD OWN ROAD. Minnesota Forest Fires Die Dowr When Wind Falls.

Coos B ly Peonle Becoming Waiting for Harriman. Roseburg. — If Harriman will not agree to take action on the Coos Bay Drain road, at the forthcoming con ference between the railroad king an< d the delegation of Coos Bayans «a at Roseburg, negotiations will be openei :d with the several capitalists who are anxious to finance an electric lint .‘r<-m Roseburg to Coos Bay. The conditions are such that «any "urther development of the Coos Bay ountry and dependent coast points will be retarded unless a road is as sured. The Coos Bay people have named the following committee of business men to attend the meeting here: C \. Smith, Dr. A. C. Straw. L. J. Simp son. C. J. Mills and W. P. Evans, with J. E. Oren and W. H. Powers as dternates. Water Big Tract. Grants Pass. — Arrangements and plans for the building of a huge irri- gatin g canal, which will take its water from Hogue, river, just above the (■olden Drift company’s dam, and water over 12,000 acres of arid lands above and below (¡rants Pass have been made, and construction work will soon begin. Tired of waiting for outside capital to become interested in the project, and upon the government for aid, loci] business men, ranchers and fruitgrowers have decided to build the big canal themselves. Irrigate Arid Land. Pendleton.—Seven thousand acre; of Umatilla arid land was mortgager I recently by the Western Land & lrri Ration company to the Marion Trust ompany. of Indianapolis, to secure a {old bond issue of $150.1)00. to be used n the construction of canals and ditches and in other ways preparing for extensive farming a vast area in the southern part of this county. The mortgage was said to be the largest instrument filed here for years, the filing fee being $37.40. Duluth. Minn, Sept. 9—Fighting lesperately against the forest fires hat threatened momentarily to add -ix more range towns to the black ned ruins of Chisholm and Snowball, iractically the entire population oi he Mesaba region composed the self '(instituted fire brigade that struggled fiercely all day yesterday and late nto the night to save their home» and property. After raging fiercely ill the afternoon the flames died lown with the wind last evening and gave the army of fighters chance to rest after their strenuous work. Hibbing. Nashwauk, Buhl, Color line and Mountain Iron, which were considered doomed during the greater part of the afternoon, are safe again, unless the wind revives. There is ittle promise of rain, and a strong wind from any direction will fan the lames into a renewed menace. The Duluth fire department re ceived a telegram from the depart ment at Hibbing asking for assist- mcc, and Chief Black, with a num ber of men and an engine, left Du luth shortly after 4 o’clock for the scene of the fire. The Mesaba road has trains in waiting at Hibbing to take the people away from the scene of danger.

The people are in worse straits than the range people, in that they have no place to flee to. For est fires are raging within a mile of the town. Constantinople, Sept. 9.—Believing Turkish investments to be safe, for the first time in the country’s history, and assured of a chance to make them without paying blackmail in a dozen directions, foreign capitalists’ agents are literally stampeding into Con stantinople. Considering tthe stage >f its civilization and its proximity to the Occident, the sultan's realm is regarded in Europe as the least developed land on earth. The oppor tunity for reaping enormous returns is deemed so bright that the influx into the capital is reaching the pro portions of a miners' rush to a new mineral field, or a settlers’ race for farms in a freshly opened American government reservation. Germany alone among the nations was moderately represented before the revolution Teutonic interests are still striving hard to hold their own against the representatives of rival countries, but the loss of prestige they suffered with the old regimes fall is handicapping them heavily. They have an equal chance with other prospective investors, and large numbers from Berlin are joining the contingent already in the field. Women’s Clubs at La Grande.
