The Goble, 2Crha!m & Pad lie Railway has been sold to a new company of two or three per-t-ons. who will take charge of It and put it in operation at onee. The considera tion was $25.(90 for the road and right of way. The same persons have purchased SN) acres of the Green estate, which lies near the line of roafi. paying 512 per acre therefor. Robert Smith, who has been operating a large mill at Perry, in the Blue Mountains, is reported to be one of the purchasers. The O. R. & N. Co.. which has had charge of tho locomotive belonging to the road, has been ordered to turn it over to the purchasers. This will put a large number of men at work, as it is understood that the pro moters of this new company will go into tho logging business iuite extensively, they having purchased several thousand acres of the best timber on the line of the rond. In order to reach the best tim ber about five miles more of road will "bo required. These gentlemen are said to be making arrangements to put in a large sawmill plant, and will go into the lumbering busi ness, as well as Jogging. Tho road was fold several months ago pt Sheriffs sale on the foreclosure of a mortgage held by the Security, Savings & Trust Company, and was bid in for $3o,0u0. The reorganization of the company will put considerable life In the logging busi ness in Columbia County. (Robert Smith and Fred Stanley are the chief men in the Grand Ronde Lumber Compnny, which has a large mill and log ging plant at Perry, a few niiles north west of La Grande. They deemed the op portunity for doing a profitable lumber business in the Xehalem hills back of Oobie so promising that they fyiterfsted Portland capital in tho venture, and have made arrangements for carrying on an ex tensive lumber business. This, it is said, will involve the extension of the railroad ps the timber shall be cut away, and the country will bo opened to cultivation. It ifi aleo possible that this road will be built through to the coal measures of the I'pper Nehalem. if the coal traflic shall promise sufilclent tonnage. The lumbering enterprise will have Its headquarters In Portland.) ASK FOR CHANGE OF VENUE. Snllor nonrdiiiK-Ioiif,p Men Sny They Cannot Gel .TiiHtlce in Atrln. ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 20.

Much discus sion as to the actual date of the begin ning of the Revolution followed the read ing of the register-general's report in the convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution today. The con sensus of opinion was that the Revolu tionary period began In 1703 with the op position to the stamp act. The election of vice-presidents followed, and nominations came thick and fast. The delegates were crowding and push ing each other down the main aisle, anx ious to make their nominations, when Mrs. Fairbanks directed them to "go 'way back and sit down." Among the nominees are Mrs. D. D. Coulton. of California, and Mr3. Ella P. Stern, of Colorado. Mrs. Peale was unanimously elected registrar-general. At tonight's session most of the time was taken up with the reading of the re port of Mrs. Darwin, the treasurer-general. The report already has been pub lished. Other reports submitted during the evening included those of Miss Su san R. Hctzel, historian-general; Bcttl Beck Goodloe. assistant historian-general, and Mrs. Julia T. McBlalr, librarian-general. Miss Hetzel reported as follows: "During the past year two new volumes of the Lineage Book have been Issued. Every effort has been made to make them as historically correct as possible. Dissatisfaction has been expressed in some quarters that they are not pub lished more rapidly, but the editor. Mrs. Sanders Johnson, often has to write many letters so to prove the service of each ancestor as to make the lineage book of real value. Twenty-five daugh ters of Revolutionary patriots have passed away durins the year. One of the number was Mrs. Mary A. Washing ton, our first real daughter. Another real daughter was Mrs. Melvlna J. Row--ell. who died at Charltonville, Cal.. in October. She was the youngest child of Daniel Chapin. of Newport, a Revolu tionary patriot. Three hundred and twenty-one sets of Lineage Books have been distributed among the chapters dur ing the year. They should so stimulate the flower of patriotism all over thl3 land that the rank weed of anarchism, that has robbed us of our beloved Presi dent. William McKinley, may be rooted out," Advice to the Ncgrroc. TUSKEGEE. Ala., Feb. 20.

I'miBn-rniiRo, Tutnlln, Held to lie Domestic Territory. WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The Secretary of the Treasury hci received from the Attorney-Gem ral an opinion on the question of whether merchandise shipped from Pango-Pango. Tutulia, Is entitled to free entry Into the United StaU3, in view or the cc-nventlon concluded between the United Str.fs. Great B:i aln and Ger many. December 2. 1?I. The Attorney General holds that Tutulla Is domestic ler ritory of the United States, nnd tha our tariff law? Imposing dutk: on goods from "foreign ports' are not anpllcaole on goods received frem Pango-Par.jjo. "It if posslb'c, " says the Attorncy-G-n-eral, "that German and British merchnn s may attempt, under cover of the pro visions of the tripartite agreement, to car ry good via Pango-Pango into some of our ether ports. lnce. according to tli uo trine laid down in Doole;- vs. the ! United Starrs and other cases, goods en tering Pango-Pango from the Uni oil States are not dutiable by executive au thority, and so as to goods arriving from Pango-Pango in the ports of the United States. But this cannot alter the status of the ports o Tutuiln. nor does It present any difficulty which Congress and the Treasury Department cannot tasi.y deal with. The treaty nel her stipulates for free entry Into Pango-Pango, nor is i: intended to provide means for entry into other ports on the terms stimulated In the case cC Pango-Pango, bu; only that the same privileges as we see nt to accord Pango-Pango to our own commerce anil by British ana ports of the British and German Islands of the group accorded thera :o British and German corctncrcc." RATIFICATION OF TREATIES. British Ainlin.'.iiulnr and Danish Min ister Arrange Matter With Hny. WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Lord Paunce fote was at the State Department today, and it has been arranged between himself and Secretary Hay that the final ratifi cations of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty shall be exchanged here as soon as the mechanical work of pressing the exchange copies can be executed. The British Gov ernment has conveyed to Its Ambassador full authority to conclude this arrange ment. Mr. Brun, the Danish Minister, also saw Secretary Hay In relation to the ratifi cation of the treaty for the cession to the United States of the Danish West In dian Islands. It seems Improbable now that the mooted plebiscite of the Inhab itants of the Islands will be had by the Danish Government. However, should it be decided otherwise, tho taking of the voto will be a very small matter, inas much as the franchise Is enjoyed in the Danish West Indies by only a few hun dred of the total population, and their votes could be recorded in a day or two. It will not be necessary to wait on Con gress for the appropriation of 5o.C03.000 as a preliminary to the acquisition, of the islands by the United States. Under the treaty, as soon as the ratifications are ex changed the United States flag will be hoisted, and the lo.OOO.C-CO, if not already appropriated, will be charged up against the United States as a debt.
