ROUTE TO INEHALEM Another Move for Railroad to Coal and Timber. SHORTER LINE TO THE COAST Eaay Grades and a- Rich Country to Be Reached and Xeveloxed Good Scheme for Portland. A project for a railroad from Portland to the Nehalem coal field Is taking shape. Those who are on the inside of the nego tiations decline to be quoted, but It is evident that a careful examination of the country h&B been made, and that all the data necessary for determining the mat ter has been gathered and is available lor use. It is supposed that influences favorable to the Great Northern are be hind the present Nehalem project. It is expected that something definite regard ing the building of the line will be given out in a few days. It Is expected to bring the Nehalem coal and timber, as well as the agricultural products of Tillamook County, to Portland direct. This route makes the distance from Portland to Nehalem Bay less than 78 miles. It contemplates going out a few miles on one of two tracks already built on the Southern Pacific to Hlllsboro, or on the Northern Pacific to a point near Hol brook. at the mouth of Cornelius Gap. The Hlllsboro route, In connection with the Southern Pacific, would leave only 58 miles of new track to build to reach Ne halem Bay; from the Northern Pacific near Llnnton the mileage of new road to build would he a little more than 73 miles. On neither route would the grade exceed 2 per cent. The grade of Fourth street, Portland, is about 4 per cent. The high est elevation reached would be less than 1100 feet abovo the sea. The main line would go down the Sal mon Berry branch of the Nehalem to its junction wlfah the main river, an,d then down the river to Nehalem Bay, where it would command the shipments of coal and lumber from the Ixwer Nehalem country. A branch would leave the main line near the summit and penetrate the heart of the Upper Nehalem Valley. Ne halem Bay can be made a safe port for coasting vessels at small expense. An ex tension of the railroad 12 miles down, the coast from Nehalem Bay to Tillamook Bay would afford that rich region the transportation facilities essential to its development. Two reason are given for favoring this routs to the Nehalem country over the route via Astoria. One is that the dis tance is little more than half as great, and the other is that the local business along the proposed direct line would be large and peculiarly valuable to Portland. Prom the mouth of the Nehalem to Port land via Astoria Is. 140 miles; via the proposed new line, 78 miles. The new line would tap a large area of unsur passed timber, the manufacture of which would keep Portland mills busy for many jears. The coal of the Lower Nehalem, concerning the quantity and quality of which there Is said to be no doubt, would be a bonanza for Portland at once. The coal of the Upper Nehalem is reported to be less valuable on account of the sul phur It hears. The valley of the Nehalem Is also rich in agricultural possibilities, and the whole coast country is unsur passed for dairying. It it should be decided to build to the Nehalem from Hlllsboro. a. good start would be found In 10 miles of old grade that was completed about eight years ago. but the grade from Portland would be heavy, while the grade via Cornelius Gap. on the Northern Pacific, would not exceed 2 per cent, The new enterprise is designed as a short cut from Portland to Nehalem Bay, with a 12-mile branch, from the latter point to Tillamook Bay. Railroad for Southeastern Oregon. J. S. Liocke, of Huntington, president of the company whloh attempted naviga tion of the Snake River wlththe steamer Mabel, operating between Huntington and. the Seven Devils copper mountains, said to the La Grande Journal last week: "In my opinion the Sampler Valley Railroad, now building to "Whitney, wtll be extended to the Prineville section.

R. & N. Co., to be used as a feeder line. "The impression is gaining ground in Huntington that the O. R. & N. Co. will make that town the junction for lines of railroad going along the Snake River to Lewiston, and a feeder extending Into the splendid Harney country, with its great stockraising and wheatgrowlng pos sibilities. The country to be traversed from Huntington to Lake County is not to be compared in difficulty with that over which the extension of the Sump ter Valley Railroad Is being pushed." Mr. Locke Is very enthusiastic over the certainty, as he thinks, of the Hunting-ton-Lakevlew line being pushed forward to actual completion by the O. R. & N. Co. -Ho said regarding the richness of Hamey Valley alone: "The Harney Valley, having about 2004 BQuare miles, is capable of producing millions, of bushels of wheat, oats and other grain, and the extension of a rail road into the Lake County country would also be over a regionwhere steel rails could be laid with extremely small ex pense.

Moses Lane, an Indian policeman, of the Slletz reservation, has been spending a few days In Portland as a witness In a case where one aboriginal had cut an other during the progress of a tjuarreL Moses is dressed in a suit of dark blue, trimmed with braid, and foals his im portance over the rest of the tribe, though he says his salary is not very large, being only $10 per month. He derives his living from other sources, however, as he owns lands and livestock, and so does not depend on his official Income. Mose? doe not like city Jfe, as Jie siys: 'There is too much fun here." He got pretty fuh one night 'nst vtc, and In a trusting mood, left some $200 In gold with a barkeeper to keeptor him. Next day he could neither find he bar keeper nor Ihe saloon In wnlch he de posited his money, and so concluded that it was about tlma to go baclc to Slletz. An Indian companion, fortunately, held both, return tickets and has alpo ktpt sober enough to know what he wan doing, s ?na-'ed .o loan .alone enough to pay f oi a few meals and purchase a few nights' lodging. They left for Albany yesterday, and from that point they can both reach their homes at Slletz without much difficulty. The barkeeper, at last accounts, was not known to be hurting himself in hunting up Mose. HELD-UP BY HOBOS. Two Cases Where Men "Were Rohbe Reported Last Nisrht. Two cases of hold-ups were reported last night at the police station. Hobos were responsible for both attacks. John Shanahan, giving Buffalo, N. Y., as his residence, reported that ho was held up in the Northern Pacific freight yard and his overcoat taken. His head was badly battered up, and he was sent to St, Vin cent's Hospital, where examination showed that there was danger of his 6kull being fractured. John' "Wnlde and Mat Koske, two Swedes, who came from Slsson In a box car, also reported being held up by ho bos. They were set upon at the East Side carshops last evening by three men, masked and armed with revolvers. Whlde had $U taken and Koske $9.

Many Property-Holders Inspected Rolls, but Few Complaints Made Case to Be Appealed. The County Board of Equalization opened Its week's session yesterday inthe county courtroom. Assessor Greenleaf turned over to the hoard the completed assessment rolls, which were open to the Inspection of property-owners all day and will be accessible dally during the week between the hours of 10 A. M. and 2 P. M. The members of the board, County Judge Cake, County Clerk Holmes and Assessor Greenleaf, will be In session dally from U to 12 In the mornings and from 2 to 3 In the afternoons for the pur pose of considering the complaints made by property-owners in regard to tho as sessment of their property. A baker's dozen of such protests were received yes terday, mostly In regard to Improvements i and personal property which the owners consider were assessed too high. . The courtroom was crowded all day with taxpayers Inspecting the assessment rolls and taking notes on the listed valua tion of their property. Blanks are pro vided for thfr purpose of filing complaints for the action of the board. When any case of protest Is raised the board In vestigates the proposition and Is at lib erty to raise or lower the assessment as It sees fit. A second-hand dealer, whose goods were assured at $100, who protested that the valuation was not Just, balked when he got to the point of swearing as to the real value of his property. It Is supposed that he believed It wise to let well enough alone. Yesterday the session was quiet. The property-holders were simply arming themselyes with ammuni tion for a later vigorous assault on the board's position. The totals oft the assessment rolls have not yet been footed up. The assessed value of property In the City of Portland, both real and personal, Is expected to be In creased by about $1,000,000 over last year's assessment. In the bulky volumes turned over by the Assessor, In addition to the rolls of real property, are the personal property, the military and state poll tax. rolls. PERSONAL MENTION. W.

Only the prompt action of the Police Department In causing the arest of U Japanese labor leaders and contractors averted .a seri ous melee. The rootrof the difficulty Is found In the severe competition that ex ists over the control of the local labor market and ith, fact that a Japanese contractor from San Francisco has coma into the local field and walked off with several fat and Juicy railroad contracts. T. Kaw&Shi is the intruder into the preserves which the local Japanese have carefully guarded. Since 'his arrival three weeks ago. from San Francisco, ho has made the acute labor manipulators In the labor field realize that there was something dolrfg. He was getting con tracts while they were warming their toes, with nothing to do. Then Kawachl asserts they began a game of bluff with dire and deadly threats If he did not leave the field at once and return to his San Francisco haunts. Insinuations were made that some morning a dead Jap would be found lying In some dark alley. Sunday nlghf, the conspirators, accord ing to Kawachl,. devised a new method of torture. They had him arrested on the charge of disturbing a religious meet ing, and he reposed that night in the dreary City JalL Yesterday, when he woke up he called, for a lawyer and the Chief of Police. Lucidly he explained the situation, and swore out a counter war rant for the whole bench on a charge of threatening to kill. The following were arrested and released on ball: S. Tak alyeda, K.
