MAKE NEW SURVEY
Northern Pacific Engineers at
Work Near Lewiston.
AFFECT- GRANGEVILLE LINE
Camping on Right of Way of Pro
posed Electric Road, Tlicy Cre
ate Belief That Railway
Will Build South.
LEWISTON. Idaho. May 12. (Special.)
Northern Pacific surveyors have again
entered the field and there is much excite
ment over their presence, though they
have been expected for several days by
certain Informed individuals.
Engineer Estop and 14 men arrived on
this evening's train and are quartered at
the Grand Hotel tonight. It was learned
that the party will" ?ltclj camp south of
Lewiston, on the old Northern Pacific
right of way, which right of way- is now
heldby the electric railway people. There
Is considerable speculation as to the ob
ject m camping at this point. Two
months ago this same- party occupied a
camp on the Snako RlVeri on the Clark
Fton side and below .Lewiston, and were
running a lino, down the Snake River.
From present indications it would appear
that the party will run a line south from
lewiston following the survey now lo
cated for the Lewiston-Grangevllle elec
tee line.
Engineer PoJIard and Ray, of the North
ern Pacific, with 35 men, went to Culde
pac, where teams took them to IIo, on
ralg's Mountain, and the work of sur
irying will begin between that point and
Dublin, where it was left off two months
ago. Engineer Berglund. of Tacoma. is
fast rushing work on the Northern Pa
c'fic steamer J. M. Hannaford, and it is
"believed that the steamer will be used at
this point to carry construction supplies.
The report i current that construction
uork will be started by the Northern Pa
tifi within the week, but nothing of this
character can be cpnllrmed. It is also
reported here tonight that O. R. & N.
surveyors are expected to be in the field
here tomorrow. It is understood that an
engineering party is leaving Portland to
night for this vicinity.

who has taken steps to make investiga
tions. George Fops, a bachelor. 55 years old,
was found fii the smoldering ruins of his
cabin this morning, near Mount Hood.
His body was so badly burned that it was
difficult to toll whether he had been mur
dered or had burned himself to death.
No one Is known to have" had a grudge
against the old man. though his manner
had been at times unusual, and he may
have made enemies who are unknown.
No one is known to have been near the
cabin at the time" it burned, or at any time
recently. There Is credence of the old
man halving burned himself, as he was
recently examined for Insanity, but at the
time was allowed to go free.

and make the usual affidavit that he
wants the land for his own use and has
made no agreement express or Implied to

The notary public, ia taking the oath
of the applicant must also certify that
he knows, him to be the person whose
name Is signed. Two witnesses must sign
the application, give their own .postofflce
addresses and certify that they know the
applicant and believe that he wants the
Jand for his own use and. benefit and Is
applying la -go'odJf&lih.
The witnesses muet cwear to their
statement and the . notary must' certify
tbat'the witnesses are personally known
J.o him. The requirements in making an
application for the purchase of state land
are now more strict than the formalities
in executing a deed.
The grand jury of Marion County hav
ing reported that certain certificates were
issued 'on fraudulent applications, further
payments on these deeds or certificates
are suspended until the Board has an
opportunity to investigate. A large num
ber of certificates of purchase of state
land upon fraudulent application being
now outstanding, deeds on these are also
to be withheld until a thorough investiga
tion can be made. :

Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality

AMAZON FAST OX FLATS.
"'Lumber-Laden Bnrkcntinc Stays All
. Night Near Madison Bridge.
- iStuck' pn the flats between the Inman
Poplsen mill and the Madison-street
bridge the barkentine Amazon, loaded
with -lumber, waited all of last night for
higher water to float her. The M. F.
Henderson hitched to the Amazon at 6
o'clock last night and started for the
bridge. Recently the stcamboatmcn have
learned that the best way to take a ves
sel Into deep water from the mill is to
go upstream for several hundred feet
before striking for the main channel. The
Henderson, however, headed for the
bridge,, and the Amazon was soon on the
mud near the middle of he Willamette.
Two hours and more was spent In a
fruitless attempt to pull the vessel loose:
then the-towboat went to her dock for
the" night. Another effort, probably suc
cessful, will be made this morning at
high water. It Is on account of these
mud fiats near the mill that the Inman
.Poulsen Company have several times peti
tioned the. War Department for permis
sion to deepen the channel. The city
.authorities, have always objected, how
ever, because the two pipes which supply
the West 3fde with Bull Run water cross
the river a this point, and it Is feared
that dredging would endanger the city
water supply. ' "
