Articles of Incorporation of The Dalles
Southern Railroad Company, which were
filed In Portland Saturday, are the legal
beginning of an enterprise which has been
in contemplation for some months that of
building a railroad along the east slope of
the Cascade from The Dalles to Lake
view. Thirty miles of the proposed line,
from The Dalles to Dufur, have already
been eurveyed. The remainder of the
route has been decided upon in a general
way, and a party of engineers Is at present
between Burns and Lakeview making a
reconnoiseance, and upon their report will
depend the location of the line.
Running along the east side of the Des
chutes, the new road will bear about the
same relation to the Columbia Southern
that the West Side branch of the South
ern Pactnc does to the main line, and will
In no way interfere with the traffic or
territory of that line. It has. It is stated,
an ample territory of its own, and one
whose development will be of great bene
fit to Portland. Between The Dalles and
the Warm Springs reservation Is a dis
trict admirably adapted to wheatgrowing,
but whose isolation has hitherto made it
Impracticable for that purpose. Once a
railroad enables the farmers to dispose of
their crop on the ground, it is said all of
them will put In wheat, and it is expected
that the country will prove one of the
heaviest producers In toe TState.
From the reservation the road will take
an easterly trend to Burns, and then run
southwest to Lakeview, which is to be Its
t-rmlnus. Thus all the trade of Southern
Oregon, which now goes to California, and
which will be materially increased with the
completion of the new line now building
from California toward Lakeview, will be
brought to Portland, and a field, compris
ing the entire State, wilt be at the doors
of Portland merchants.
E K. Lytle, who is President of the new
company, said yesterday that he hoped to
go to work on the grade between The
Dalles and Dufur very soon, and that it
was not Impossible thet the line might be
built through to Burns by the end of
summer. He is confident that the road
will pay from the start, as he says the
residents of that region are ready and
willing to patronise a railroad, and will
have enough stock and grain to ship by
the time it is completed to keep It busy.
The line Is to be extended to Lakeview as
soon as the tracklayers reach Burns, and
Mr Lytle says there will be no pause la
construction till everything is finished.
'The project" said he yesterday, "is
one which should receive every encourage
ment in Portland. It will bring to this
market a trade which rightfully belongs
to It, but which Is going to San Franclscv
row, and 'which will continue to go there
ns long as Portland has not means of com
munication with that district. The line
will run through a country which Is one of
the richest In the State, and which will
be developed Just as soon as It has an
outlet The great sagebrush region east
Of the Deschutes Is in the hands of corn
paries and Individuals who have the capi
tal to Irrigate It, and are only waiting for
the cotnoletton of our line to do so. All
the water that is needed can be obtained
from the Deschutes, and the route of the
proposed ditch has already been surveyed.
"The new line will in no way Interfere
with the Columbia Southern, as It taps
a country which that line cannot reach,
and which Is as badly In need of a railroad
as the Columbia Southern territory. There
is no question that the road will pay from
the start, and no question that It will
at onoe fee pushed through."
something extraordinary at present, as it
carries its own traffic and all of that of
the Madison-Street Bridge, and It Is not
to be wondered that It Is subjected to a
great wearing. It Is shown what a great
traffic uses the bridge when the draw Is
closed for steamers. At such times teams
and cars gather at either end of the draw
for over a block.

TOO GENEROUS MEASURE.
Chines o Idarior-Dcaler Dispenses In
toxicants Lavishly.
A meeting of the license committee of
the Common Council was held yesterday
to Investigate complaints -which had been
made against a Chinese dram-seller, on
Second street. This Mongolian, It Is said,
sells a tincupfull of alleged gin whisky,
or other llauor. for a nickel. His cus
tomers are the "Weary "Willies, Ragged
Richards, Dusty Rhodes and others of
that ilk who may often be seen carrying
in piles of wood to earn the nickels neces
sary to buy the dope the Chinaman retails.
Ho does not allow his customers to linger
around his place; It's drink and go with
him, so there is no charge of keeping a
disorderly house against him, but It Is al
leged that, owing to the potency of his
liquors, and the lavish measure he deals
out, his customers are prone to become
unreasonably hilarious on the streets.
Something of the same kind has been
noticed not infrequently In connection
with the patrons of dram shops kept by
white men, but these patrons were of a
higher social grade than those who fre
quent the Chinese den.
License Officer Beach had Inquired Into
the matter and found that the Chinaman
hacTpald his license. He asked the heathen
where he got his liquor. He said he made
It, all same as Mellcan man, and so he
knew It was good stuff. He had a rec
tifier's license, and said he had learned
rectifying from a white man he had
worked for. He professed to be a law
abiding citizen, sold he had four wives,
two of whom had gone on a pleasure trip
to China, and the other two were here.
He has a cousin, who Is a wholesale
grocer, and the funeral he gave one of hi3
mothors-In-law not long since was a dream
in point of magnificence, and the music
on the occasion was of the white man's
best ragtime.
Under these circumstances, the commit
tee could not see their way to anything
more severe than admonishment. The size
of the tlncups at the Hobos' Retreat will
probably be reduced till this storm ha3
blown over.

Jniler Johnson Creates Considerable
Excitement.
A pistol shot created quite an excite
ment In the vlcimty of the police station
yesterday afternoon at 2:30. George Hub
bard, who had been arrested for stealing
brass castings, was being locked up by
Jailer Johnson, when he suddenly whirled
around and darted through the open door
to the street. Johnson hurriedly took a
shot at Hubbard's heels, the ball striking
the pavement and scattering a few frag
ments of stone around, one of which
struck a Chinaman on the shoulder. Of
ficer Bulger gave Hubbard a lively chase
through a throng of startled Chinese,
southward toward Stark street, followed
by Captain Hoar, who is something of a
sprinter himself.
"Halt or I'll put a bullet through you!"
shouted Bulger, and as he was being
rapidly overhauled, Hubbqjd threw up
his hands and stopped. The Chinaman
thought himself killed, and made a big
fuss, but a slight bruise on the skin was
all that bore evidence of his having been
hit. The officers were even doubtful about
the cause of the braise, and thought It
was an old contusion.
Hubbard had been watched for some
time by Detectives Ford and Cordano, and
yesterday they found him trying to sell
"brass castings to a Union-avenue junk
dealer. He had 29 pounds of the stuff
stowed away In his pockets, and this the
officers recognized as having been stolen
from a street-car company. J. F. Smith,
the junk dealer, was also arrested for
dealing In Junk without a license, and both
parties will probably have a hearing to
day. a

Official Fig-ares Showing; Great Sav
ing Under New Law Further
Reductions Promised,
The report of County Auditor Pope, just
published, shows a difference In the ex
pense of the Circuit Court between the
first and second six months of 1893 ol
over ?7600 in favor of the latter half. The
cost for tho first six months was $17,726 20,
and the latter only $10,031 30; but the first
Included J32J0 for fees to the District At
torney, who was under a salary after
July L
The main saving was In the matter of
trial and crond juries. The expense of
these for the first six months was $So03 50,
while the expenso for the rest of the year
was but J4754 SO, showing a saving of more
than 40 per cent. The cause of this great
difference in cost is the act of the last
Legislature, establishing five terms a
ear for the Circuit Court of two months
each, Instead of three terms of four
months each, as formerly. The Judges
will now set all the jury trials for the
first term, and thus do not carry 36 men
for the whole two months. It used to be
that If jurymen appeared at court and
the case was dismissed, or the trial post
poned, they weore paid ?2 for the day's
work. Under the new ruling they receive
pay only for days on which they actually
serve.
Another change is now announced which
will cut the expense amount down much
more. This change is in the manner of
paying the official reporter. Under the
former plan the County paid the reporter
tho $10 a day allowed by law, and charged
It up with the rest of the costs, and, in
many cases, it never was collected. Now
tho litigants desiring an official reporter
must pay the amount In advance. It Is
estimated that the County lost over $2000
a j ear in uncollected reporters' fees. "With
the new ruling in regard to official re
porters and the system, of pajing juries
In practice, It is thought that the expense
of the Circuit Court business for the year,
from July 1, 1S99, to July 1, 1900, will be
$20,000 less than the previous jear, which
was nearly $4000 less than the year before
that.
Placing of the District Attorney upon a
salary Is also a factor in this saving. Mr.
Scwall guards against unnecessary ex
penso in disposing of all cases where the
law admits of it, in the Municipal Court,
and for the November term, 1S99, all Im
portant criminal cases having been dis
posed of, Judge George and District At
torney Sewall decided that a grand jury
need not bo convened, and thus saved the
expense of that body. The grand jury
may also be dispensed with next term,
and a further saving effected. A new
statute allows the filing of Informations
by the District Attorney In criminal cases
In the place of indictments, but Judge
George Is uncertain about the constitu
tionality of the law, and until the Supreme
Court passes upon it, will not altogether
dispense with the grand jury, but will
convene one when serious criminal cases
demand attention. The policy, however,
Is to try all cases as rapidly as possible,
and thus save as much in jury fees as can
be done.
District Attorney Sewall has adopted a
new rule to keep down witness fees, re
quiring a witness, when In the grand Jury
room under oath, then and there to state
whether the distance of his residence is
more than two miles from the Courthouse.
"When this has been done, the subnena
is properly Indorsed for fees and mileage.
The bill passed by the Legislature pro
viding for five terms of court. Instead of
three, was suggested by Judge Cleland.
I have wells on my 20-acre tract which
are 700 feet deep and the water flows
with such great force that it is difficult

Each acre of oranges costs about $25
to take care of for a year, and the profit
varies with the state of the market. At
present, we sell all our crop In New

ORANGE GROWING PROFITABLE
Riveraidc
Man
the
Gives HIa
Industry.
Views of
P. Plant, a Rlversde, Cal., orange grow
er, who Is sojourning at the Imperial for
a few dajs, thinks orange culture in
Southern California is a very pleasant and
profitable business, which pays 10 to 15
per cent on the amount Invested. High
freights constitute all the drawbacks, as
the orange raisers are obliged to pay 90
cents a "box to Boston, wiule he thinks
the railroads would make a big thing by
charging even 40 censts. This year, he es
timates that 14,000 carloads of oranges
will be shipped from Riverside County
alone.
Orange orchards, he says, have advanced
In price within the past few years, and It
is difficult to purchase a tract of bearng
trees under $1000 to $1500 an acre. This is
qu'te an advance from $350 an acre, which
bearing orchards could have been pur
chased for in 1S94. Eastern capital has
begun to find out that orange culture
pays, and so men of wealth have been
purchasing 10 and 20-acre tracts of bear
ing trees, in connection with the winter
homes they consider so desirable. Thus,
while spending the winter, the oranges
can be harvested and profit as well as
pleasure obtained.
"Do the dry seasons bother us?" said
Mr. Plant. "Not at all. "We orange grow
ers don't want any rain. "We Irrigate our
trees from artesian wells, which flow
abundantly, regardless of the rainfall.
Jndgc Hcnnessy Decides That
nese Must Be Protected.
J. Parks, a youth, who had been arrest
ed for striking a Chinaman, was yester
day found guilty and fined $10 In the Mu
nicipal Court. Judge Hennessy said:
"Defendant was arrested for assaulting
two Chinamen. It seems that defendant
Is one of a gang of hoodlums who fre
quent the corner of Second and Yamhill
streets, and these boys, or young men,
are in the habit of asaulting Chinese, or,
in any event, of annoying them whenever
the Chinese appear. It seems that some
colored people hold religious services up
stairs near this vicinity, and after assault
ing the Chinese the gang, of which defend
ant is one, generally run upstairs into
this meeting, and by mingling with the
crowd their identlflcaton is rendered dif
ficult, if not impossible. The police of
ficers have noticed this conduct on numer
ous occasions, and have at last been able
to identify the defendant as one of tho
guilty parties.
"The defendant claims that tho China
man assaulted him first, and that what
he did was solely In self-defense. The
evidence, however, is clearly to the con
trary, and the associates of the defendant
are such as to justify me in believing that
his statement is not true. Furthermore,
I have not yet known of Chinamen, as
saulting white men, except in self-defense.
They ore generally peaceably inclined
toward white people. These Chinamen
are here and are entitled to protection
by the authorities. Furthermore, the
conduct of these boys and of this defend
ant has caused a great deal of disturb
ance at tho religious meetings held up
stairs In a building in that neighborhood,
and this also ought to be stopped. The
colored people have a perfect right to
hold their services and should be protect
ed In so doing."

OPEN SEASON IN MIDSUMMER
Fish Dealer's Recipe for Restocking
the Columbia.
L. M. Welcome, of Skamokawa, who
has been in the fish business for a number
of years, was in Portland yesterday. He
does not think fishermen are making any
thing at present, although they get 8
cents a pound for steelheads, and 10 cents
for chlnooks. A fisherman may work
hard on the river all day, he says, and
not catch more than one fish. Others
who have better luck may bring in 40 or
50 pounds; but the general average is very
low. The close season begins Thursday
Jiext, and will last until April 10, and
then the fisherman can take a much
needed rest.
Mr. "Welcome does not think tho close
season Is arranged for the best protection
of salmon. "If I had my way," he says,
"I'd double the sunptf of salmon in tho
Columbia River in a few years. I would
place tho close season between July 15
and August 15 of each year. I would
leae the remainder of the year open to
fishermen, as the salmon do not spawn
to any extent My way would be a little
tough on fishermen and cannerymen, at
first, but I would restock the rivers and
get our old-time supply back in the waters
without the aid of artificial propagation.
"What's the use of a close season In
April or in September? No spawn Is be
ing deposited in these months, and no
damage to the fish supply could result In
permitting fishermen to catch them. It Is
the open season in July and August that
decimates the salmon, as that Is Nature's
breeding season, and when thousands of
men are engaged in catching them for can
neries, cold storage and the Portland mar
kets, what can we expect but final extermination?"

One MUlion of the Profitable
nials Could Be Supported In
This State.
C. H. Markham, general freight and
passenger agent, and J. B. Klrkland, dis
trict passenger agent, of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, have returned from Polk
county, where they went to look into the
Industrial situation. They attended the
angora goat meeting at Iallas, and In
talks with business men and farmers
urged development of that Industry and
dairying. Tho merchants of Independ
ence are taking great interest in dairying
and have the milk of 200 cows pledged for
a creamery. They hope to have 300 cows
before long. The outlook for a creamery
at Independence Is good. Dallas wants
a creamery, but nothing has been done.
The people are wide awake to the benefits
to be derived from a creamery, and
definite action may be expected from them
soon. Speaking of the goat meeUng, Mr.
Markham said:
"The high class of entries and good
attendance at the goat exhibit at Dallas
Saturday have attracted fresh Interest
to this industry, and bid fair to afford
the stimulus required to raise it to its
proper posiUon among Western Oregon's
resources. Though capable of profitab'y
supporting 1,000,000 angoras, with plenty
of spare room, Oregon now possesses
only some 35,000 of these useful and Inter
esting animals. Finding their subsistence
n brush and small undergrowth, and re
quiring a minimum of care and shelter,
the angoras have proved to be most
efficient and economical agents in clear
ing waste lands, and bringing inito culti
vation many fertile acres.
"The angora fleece at present prices will
bring in $125 per head, which can be In
creased by better selection and breeding,
and the yearly increase of young have a
market value of H each. There Is profit
in this, even If the angora did no other
work whatever; but their first and great
value is their ability and persistence in
cleaning off the land, and making It ready
for the plow. The generous moisture,
mild climate and responsive soil of West
ern Oregon peculiarly adapt it for the
angora; nowhere Is the "browse more
plentiful, more nourishing, more lasting.
"It is estimated that there are 300,00.')
angoras in the United States. Oregon
alone could well take care of four times
that number, but raisers must give
greater care to selection of stock, breed
ing, time of bearing, etc., in order to ob
tain the most valuable fleeces. Our
abundance of green natural herbage
throughout the whole year, and absence
of severe weather, will produce heavy
fleeces, but indiscriminate buying and
haphazard breeding will greatly diminish
its marketable value for mohair. Length,
strength, fineness end luster are tho prop
erties of greatest value in mohair. West
ern Oregon has already excellent repute;
better blood only Is required to bring it
to the top no4ph In the world's market."
EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
James Laird Uncle From Alaska Im
' proving- Bridges.
James Laird, who has been in Alaska
for the past two years as a deputy under
Collector Ivey, has just returned with
his wife, and the couple have resumed
their residence at 260 Fargo street, Al
bina. Owing to his serious ill health, Mr.
Laird was compelled to resign from his
post at Mary Island, where he had been
Government Inspector of Foreign Ships
for some time. He was unable to stand
that climate. Before starting home he
had become helpless with muscular rheu
matism, suffering very much. He
stopped two weeks at Seattle, where he
secured medical treatment. At present
he Is Improving, and hopes soon to be
entirely restored. Mr. Laird was Chief
Deputy at Skagway, and of all the depu
ties at that time was about the only one
to escape general criticism and serious
charges. He says that he received good
treatment from Collector Ivey while he
was under him. With his position he was
well satisfied, and would have been glad
to remain, but he could not have lived
very long had he done so. He tendered
his resignation and came home, leaving
a vacancy for the new Collector, who
ever he may be, to fill.
for an penhg pwMlc meotteff. The ball
will accommodate a bg cvowd. There
will be some good addresses on that oc
casion, and the Chtb hopes to make a
good showing: at the mltlal meeting. All,
of whatever party, will be made welcome.

It is expected that there will be quite
a large attendance at the next meeUng

will be held next Saturday night at Fobs'
Hall. A great many citizens would have
been there last Saturday night had they
known of it in time., A prominent ciUzen
remarked yesterday that If the people
who are interested in such matters would
take hold they could get relief many
times where nothing is done, but the
difiicult thing is to get the interest of
those who are concerned. They are wait
ing, he said, for some one else to make
a pack-horse of himself for their benefit.
"There ought to be a packed meeting,"
he said, "when the Association comes to
gether again."
