I. THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. AUGUST 13, 190T. ANOTHER THROUGH VALLEY Franchise Asked of Salem Council for New Elec . trie Line. HILL'S INTEREST HINTED New Road to Kxtend From Salem Each Way to Eugene and Port land, With Laterals Work to Be Rushed at Once. SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) A petition was presented to the City Council tonight asking for a franchise over several streets of the city, from the northern to southern limits, with an outlet upon the Willamette River, for an entirely new electric railway system. The purpose of this is to con struct a line of railroad from this city outhward as far as Albany, on the Initial stretch, and contemplates an ex tension to Portland on the north and Eugene en the south, with a lateral or feeder branching from the main line at Turner to Mehama. The franchise is asked in the name of A. "Welch, of Portland. He is backed In the enterprise by Eastern capital, whose identity is withheld from publi cation at present, but the circumstances surrounding the scheme smacks of Hill interests very strongly. The petition for the franchise covers two separate lines, both of which have their start ing point at the Fair Ground store, on the Portland-Salem road, where it joins with the original L. B. French right of way. One traverses certain promi nent streets through the residence portion of the city, terminating at the river's brink, calculated to give an out let to the system into Polk County. The other takes a river course through t the city in a nearly direct line to the touther nllmlts, and will connect in the vicinity of the Reform School with the line that has already been surveyed and for which right of way has been se cured from this city to Mehama. The specific conditions mentioned in the franchise are that work must be begun within six months after the granting of the franchise, and the en tire road completed between this city and Albany within two years. This indicates that there is need of hurry in the completion of the project. Mr. Welch, who is at the head of the Wil lamette Valley Company, recently sold out his Interests in the Eugene & East ern to Story and others, who are pro moting a system of lines out of Eu gene. He is devoting his entire efforts upon the present project, which con templates a continuous system of elec tric railway from Portland to the southern boundary of the state, with laterals reaching, out to the most, fer tile sections of the Valley, having no rail outlet to the principal markets. Two crews of surveyors will be placed In the field, the first or next week, and will complete the surveys, according to the designs of the pronjoters, at they proceed.

WEEVIL DESTROYING ALFALFA Xew Pest In Vtah Machine tp Catch Grasshoppers. OGDEN, Utah. Aug. 12.-(Special.)-A new. pest is destroying alfalfa In the Northern part of Utah.

FARMERS ARE HOMELESS Washington Water Power Company Said to Be Responsible for Dam age to Ranches Along St. Joe and Coeur d'Alene Rivers. POST FALLS, Idaho, Aug. 12.--(Spectal.) Because of a dam built by the Washing ton Water Company at this point, thous and of acres of farm land are overflowed and the crops that would, ordinarily be harvested are a total loss. The farmers of the country along the St. Joe and Coeur d'Alene Rivers are greatly wrought up over the loss of their homesteads. Nearly 800 ranchers are affected, their living and very homes being at stake. It is estimated that more than 3000 acres lying along the Coeur d'Alene River alone are completely submerged in sev eral feet of water. Along the St. Joe River are other districts of lesser acre age beneath the water, and in the Wolf Lodge country and other lake regions there are hundreds of acres of splenild grazing meadows" now covered with sev eral feet of water. The total amounts to many thousands of acres that are abso lutely worthless under the present condi tion of affairs. The farmers will club together and fight the corporation that has practically ruined their farms and homes and left them In bad shape for the approaching Winter and one of the most extensive and complicated Jaw-suits ever brought in this part of the country is now. threat ened by the farmers of this district. The thousands of acres now overflowed have - heretofore been harvested In the month of August and produced from one to three tons of splendid hay to the acre, which sold on the market from $12 to $16 a ton. Now, however, as the entire tract is, and has been for some time overflowed with several feet of water, tnere is prac tically no hope of any hay being harvest ed here this year and the Winter feed will not only be lost for the stock but many families who depended on their hay crop to buy their Winter supplies will be rendered destitute. In many cases the farmers have lost all their possessions by the high water. The Washington Water Power Company claim thty have a right to dam the lake. having derived this right from ilr. Post, who settled at Post Falls in the early days and who derived his right from the Government when he took up his home stead here. The farmers took their homesteads In good faith, received a pat ent from the Government and therefore claim that the flooded lands are a loss to them and that they are entitled to damages. The farmers claim that the hay grown in the flooded district is worth annually not less than $113,000. - NEW BRIDGE TO BE BUILT Lower Site at Estacada to Be Chosen by County Court.

Reason Assigned Is Yaquina River Is Not Fed With Fresh Water Until Fall Rains Come. NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) Though salmon are now running well In the Alsea River. 15 miles south of here, and are also plentiful in the SUetz, 22 miles to the northward, they are not yet running in the Yaquina River. Occasion ally a sllverslde Is seen in the bay but the salmon run has not begun, although streams both north and south of here are full of the fish. This condition is due to the fact that the Yaquina River carries very little fresh water. Both the Alsea and the Siletz are fed by many mountain streams and the fresh water In them causes salmon to enter them earlier. Salmon never begin to run in the Yaquina River until the Fall rains come and the fresh water Is" apparent In. the stream. GAZELLE RUNS INTO WHALES Excursion Boat From Newport Finds School of Ten.

His Money to Fight Closing Mil waukle in Darkness, but vui Dig Up Money to Buy Light. OREGON CITY. Or., Aug. 11 Special.) -Upon the return of Isaac Gratton, the founder and promoter of the Milwaukle Country Club, from his trip In Europe, depends the action of the club, and until he returns to Oregon soil it Is very un likely that any steps will be taken to wards making a legal fight In the courts. Mr. Gratton is a life-long gambler and his opinion among the sporting fra ternity and his associates naturally car ries considerable weight. It is generally believed here, however, that eventually the fight will be made for the simple reason that the gamblers have little to lose by going to the courts for relief and everything to gain. While the legal lights of Multnomah and Clackamas counties do not generally agree with Senator Hedges in his opinion that the Country Club cannot be closed, it is known that the owners of the club place a great deal of confidence in Senator Hedges' ability as a lawyer and It would not be at all surprising if they would act along the line of his suggestions. There is no doubt that the club will be reopened if the fight Is to be made, for there Is no other way by which the gamblers can get their case before the bar of Justice. Their plan will be to open the resort, and when this is done some one will communicate with Sheriff R. B. Beatle, who will g to Milwaukle forth with and arrest the gamblers on a charge of violating the state law. Sheriff Beatle states positively that the club will not be permitted to operate pending the decision of the courts, and this being the case It Is probable that many months will elapse before the pub lic is assured of the ultimate result, for, no matter what the decision In the Cir cuit Court, the matter will be carried up to the Supreme Court of the state. Isaac Gratton has a snug sum of money Invest ed In the grounds and buildings of the Mllwaukie Country Club and It Is cer tain that he will not He down quietly and submit to the state authority without a struggle, while his counsel Is advising him that he has a legal right to run under the license of the city of Milwaukle. Gratton Is naturally a tenacious man and wants a run for his money, and he has quite a comfortable pile, accumulated through years of gambling on the green cloth in Multnomah County. The people of Mllwaukie' are Indignant over a report that was circulated today that the owners of the Milwaukle Club had been paying for the street lamps. Milwaukie was in total darkness Satur day night and again last night and it was reported that the Countrty Club had de clined to stand the expense of the lights. Air.
