HARRIMAN LINE PROJECT
Surveyors Arc In the Field Beyond
Natron.
General Manager O'Brien, of the Harrl
man lines, would not discuss .the press
reports ' from Chicago, published, yester-
"He stayed three weeks, and then camo ! !'. 1 tno effect that tho Klamath coun-
back. Ho kicked the door in, beat mo i try is to be opened up by a branch road
black and blue, and startled the whole
neighborhood by his language. He was
drunk he is always drunk. He abused
me shameful."
"Yes." said Mr. Haney, "and where did
he hit you? Your face bears no marks."
"Ah. that's Jest it," she cried, her
eyes Hashing. "That's Jest it; ho takes
mighty good care he don't hit me in tho
running 152 miles southeast from Natron.
He said that he knew of no such project.
It is believed, however, that the Chicago
dispatch is authoritative, and that this
line is among, the extensions planned for
the Harrlman system. It Is thought,
though, that tho line, if constructed, will
run up the middle fork of the Willamette

"Hold on." called out Mr. Haney; "give

Jimmy waited.
"It's not true at all." Mary replied,
raising her piping voice to a dramatics
pitch. "But it's true that for years I
paid for the clothes on your back; I
shared my homo with you; I fed you.
And what did I get for it? Beatings

"Just answor his questions.' cautioned
Judgo Young. "He is still your hus

"Yes, but I don't want him around,"
said Mary.
When Jimmy took the stand he denied
the assault and denied being at Mary's
home that night, and further evidence
will be given today.
George EHck," an Indian recently re
IcasecTfrom the penitentiary, was "brought

to a connection with the main line of the
Southern Pacific at Weed, south of the
California line.
Such a line. If built, would also connect
with the proposed road of the Oregon
Eastern to Huntington, which is being
promoted by Colonel William Crooks, the
president, who is also managing director
of the Harrlman lines in the office of Mr.
O'Brien.

NORTH YAKIMA. Waslu. Dec. (Spc-cfcil.)--Chlcf
Engineer Newell, of the Rec
lamation Bureau, today sent a telegram
to T. A. NoMe. engineer in charge of the
work In the Yakima Valley, to the effect
that Secretary Hitchock Is ready to ap
prove the TIetan and other Yakima proj
ects as soon as the water-right question
Is settled. He urges the. people to mako
haste, as they have only three weeks yet
In which to accomplish this work.
The committee of the Commercial Club
has been working for the past two
months In an effort to get the water-users
to get together and agree on their rights.
All the Government asks Is that they di
vide the water of the Yakima Rver, the
actual amount that they used during the
lower period of last Summer, among them
selves. This Is the only thing In the way
of a favorable decision by the Secretary.
AH the users have signed the agreements
submitted, but they claim 137 cubic Inches
more than there Is In the river. They must
cut off enough from each user to get the
amount down to the actual number of
cubic feet, which Is 3X0. The option on tho
Sunnyslde canal was extended till the first
of the year, so as to permit the people to
adjust the water rights.

SURVEY OF MAGNETIC POLE
AMUNDSEN IS VERIFYING CAP
TAIN ROSS OBSERVATIONS.
Norwegian Explorer Started North to
Greenland In the Sum
mer of 1003. .
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 6. Ronald
Amundsen, the first man "in history tct
succeed in making the Northwest Pas
sage from cast to west, is still at Fort
Egbert, Alaska, waiting for an answer
to the message he last night sent to
Nansen. In Chrlstlania. His appeal for
funds and assistance has borne fruit.
The Norwegians of this city have wired,
him money.
From the fact that Amundsen and
his expedition are in Winter quarters
near the mouth of the Mackenzie River,
his object, which he made public be
fore leaving Chrlstlania, in May, 1903,
has been fulfilled. In an article pub
lished In the Terrestrial Magnetism, In
March, 1303, these excerpts are taken
from Amundsen"3 statements of what
he hoped to accomplish:
He proposes to start North during the early
Summer, stopping- at Codhaven. Greenland,
for dogs. Amundsen's first base station -Kill
probably b In the vicinity of .North Somer
set. In Leopold Harbor, from, which he hope
to send news of hl work In 1004. by means
of whale hunters. Then he proposes to maks
absolute magnetic observations and also oper
ate his self-registering Instruments for a time.
From thlfl base station he likewise proposes
to make sledge trips on which magnetic ob
servations wilt be made.
In the Summer of 1905 he .may locate hl
base station on King William Island and
again set up his self-registering Instruments.
The following Summer, 1006, he will attempt
to locate his base at Herschel Island and
open communication with Fort McPheraon,
of the Hudson's Bay Company. His return
trip will be made by way ot Bebrlng Straits,
and he proposes to stop at Sitka and make hit
final observations there at the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey observatory, for ttat
determination of Instrumental constants.
Mr. Amundsen thus contemplates making st
complete and systematic xnagneUc survey ol
the region about the magnetic pole. from, which:
not only an accurate location of the magnetU
pole may result, but other most important re
sults will follow. The determination of the
north magnetic pole by Captain James Clark
Boss In June, 1831, rested on a, single deter
mination. Owing to local disturbances', which
may be expected In that region, there im na
telling how close his determination was tat
the actual magnetic pole. His position was
on Boothia Felix, in north latitude 70:05:1?
and west longitude 00:45:43.
It Is generally believed that the magnetic
pole is subject to a fluctuaUon in Its poet
tlon. and It Is bopd Amundsen's work wilt
throw some light upon the rate and direction
ot motion.
Charged "With Larceny.
Detective Lou Hartman returned from
Aberdeen, Wash., yesterday with Charles:
Trudgin, who was arrested at that placa
on information from the local police,
Trudgin Is charged with larceny by em
bezzlement, D. C. Burns, a Third-street
grocer, for whom he formerly worked,
being the complaining witness. He is
said to have collected the sum of $S0 for
which he failed to make any returns to
his employer, and a warrant was Issued
for his arrest.
Hew Diphtheria Is Contracted.
One often hears the expression, "My
child caught a severe cold, which devel
oped into diphtheria," when the truth was
that the cold had simply left the little one
particularly susceptible to the wandering
diphtheria germ. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Is given it not only cures
the cold, but greatly lessens the danger
of diphtheria or any other germ disease
being contracted. There is no danger In
giving this remedy, as it contains no
oBlum or other harmful drug,, and may be
given to a baby as confidently as to aa
