Haniman projects in h state are

A X. between Trout dale and Bonne
ville, 23 mllea, now under construc
tion. Wallowa extension, Elgin to Joseph,
63 miles, work to start Immediately.
Orders -were issued yesterday by Gen
eral Manager O'Brien, of the Haniman
lines, tn this territory for the Immediate
. resumption of construction work, on the
Wallowa extension, the railroad under
way from Elgin, in ta heart of the,
Grande Ronde Valley, to Joseph, in Wal
lowa County. The engineering1 depart
ment was Instructed to assemble forces
of workmen immediately ami-rush the
work with all possible speed. It U ex
pected that the line will be in operation
into Joseph within the coming three
months.
The line Into the mountains of the Wal
lowa country was started over two years
tvgo, but owing to the difficulties of con
struction and the fact that little could
be done in Winter, together with the re
cent financial stringency, the work has
been delayed from time to time until
the people of the section to be opened
up despaired of ever realizing: any ben
efita from the projected line. The road
Is hard to build and is expensive, much
of the grade having to be constructed
across mountains. Swift streams along
the route that rise suddenly, washing
out the grade already built, have added
to the difficulties encountered by the en
gineers. $-150,000 to Complete Line.
But General Manager O'Brien says the
road will now be completed without 'de
lay. It is estimated that $460,000 will be
required to finish the line into Joseph,
and this sum has been placed at Mr.
O'Brien's disposal. Weather conditions
are such that nothing need be feared
from that source any longer during the
season, and there will be no interruptions
until trains are running into Joseph.
About $t00,000 has been spent already
by the Ilarriman interests on the Wal
lowa extension. The grade has been prac
tically finished for the greater part of
the way and 16 miles of the track is
being operated. The extension will be
63 miles long. The principal work that
remains to be done Is to lay the track
for the remainder of the distance, build
a comparatively small amount of grade
and put in a number of bridges. The
rails were laid to the north of Looking
Glass River when work on the line was
ordered stopped last Fall.
"We shall, put on between 300 and 400
men." said 5eneral Manager O'Brien,
"depending upon the number we can
work on the job to the best advantage.
Forces now engaged in finishing up the
new Rlparla-Lewis ton line will be taken
over to the Elgin work, as there is but
little more to be done on the Riparia
cutoff. The Klgin extension will be com
pleted this Summer.
Opens Up Rich Country.
The road into the rch Wallowa coun
try follows the Grande Ronde and Wal
lowa rivers for almost the entire dis
tance from Blgin to Joseph. The new
line will reach the cities of Lovely, Wal
lowa, titter prise and Joseph. The ex
trusion will be one of the richest feeders
uf the O. R. & N., of which It is a branch.
It will enter and develop a splendid
country, which is now given over .to
stook raising almost exclusively on ac
eyiuit of the impossibility of getting ag
ricultural products to outside markets,
l attle, sheep and hogs are raised In
large numbers In the valleys of Wallowa
t'ountyand are driven out to the rail
roads. But it Is impossible at present
ti market the grain and other products
that can be raised tn that fertile region
if an outlet were only given.
With the completion of the railroad
from Blgin, the hopes of the farmers of
that country for years will be realised.
tensive agricultural sections will be
opened up and Wallowa County can sup
port many times lis present population.
Its remoteness from the outside world
lias long acted as a handicap in keeping
settlers out, but with this last bar to
Its development removed It will become
one of the most productive sections of
' the whole state.

Rev. William A. Quayle, of Chi

Methodist Episcopal Chan-elk
Brougher has been approached by influ
ential members of the Oklahoma church
and offered a call at almost double the
salary he gets In Portland. He preached
Sunday night in the First M. EL Church.
Oklahoma City, to an audience that
packed the great auditorium to its doors.
In introducing him the pastor. Dr. Urcha,
said
"I came near being pastor of the Grace
M. B. Church, Portland, Or., once. Bishop
McCabe notified me that I was booked
for that field, and I signified my willing
ness to go. But by a turn of our ecclesi
astical machinery I was sent here and
Dr. Clarence True Wilson was sent to
Portland, Or. If I em to . have Dr.
Brougher as a co-laborer, we will have to
Join with the Baptists in setting him to
come to Oklahoma City. If I had the ap
pointing power, I would make him pastor
of the White Temple here, for I like his
way of doing tilings ana Oklahoma City
needs him."
In responding Dr. Brougher said:
"I appreciate these kind words and all
the courtesies shown me by the people
of Oklahoma City, but to me there is no
greater place on earth than Portland, Or.
It is a beautiful city with magnificent
possibilities. I love my work and my
people there. I see no reason why I
should make a change. I hope you will
all become Baptists next year and come
out to Portland with the Northern Bap
tist Convention in May. 1909."
Rumor also connects Dr. Broughers
name with a. great church in New York
City and another in Boston, both of
which pay $10,000 a year salary.

Texas Congressman Says Country Is
Weary of Expositions.
WASHINGTON, May 25. The confer
ence report on the sundry civil appro
priation bill today was . agreed to by
the House in its entirety. The rjort
furnished the text for a ndStber of
speeches from the Democratic side,
charging extravagance in apprecia
tions. The appropriation of $760,000 for the
Alaska-Yukon-Paclfic Exposition at
Seattle was particularly attacked by
Slayden, of Texas, who said that the
people were suffocated with exposi
tions. They were, he declared, but" a trans
parent effort to boom real estate at
the expense of the United States. He
pointed out the international exposi
tion held annually at San Antonio,
which, he said, was supported entirely
by private subscription.

pared his first written statement it was
to protect his name and his family.

BALTIMORE, Md., May 25. Rev. Dr.
William A. Quayle, pastor of St: James
Church, Chicago, and Rev. Dr. Charles
W. Smith, editor of the Pittsburg Chris
tian Advocate, were chosen bishops on
the tenth and twelfth ballots respectively
in the M. E. General Conference today.
A 18 th ballot was taken and the result
is said to have been no election.
The majority report of the committee
on temperance was adopted. It was the
recommendation in the majority report
Indorsing local option and the anti-Saloon
League as the only means to reach the
desired, result that caused the division
in the committee and brought out two
reports. Governor J. Frank Hanley of
Indiana, chairman of the temperance
committee, led the majority forces with
P. A. Baker, National superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League,, and J. K.
Shields, of Chicago, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, as his
chief lieutenants. All three made stirring
speeches favoring local option.
Only 19 for Prohibition.
Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard, from the Cin
cinnati conference, and Chancellor J. R.
Day, of Syracuse University, stood in the
front rank of the advocates of the mi
nority report, which was offered by B.
Lee Paget, of Portland, - Or.
Finally the minority was tabled and the
majority 'recommendations overwhelm
ingly adopted amid tumultuous applause.
The minority vote was 19.
A matter of importance in which there
is widespread ' interest will be laid be
fore the conference by the court of last
appeal in the Methodist Episcopal Church
in a report of the Judiciary committee
sustaining Professor Hinckley G. Mitch
ell, who was declared a heretic by the
Central New York Conference, of which
he was a member, and was for the same
alleged reason deposed from the chair
of Hebrew and Old Testament exegesis
In the Boston University School of The
ology some time ago. Professor Mitchell
ranks high among Hebrew scholars, and
his trial on charges of heresy was a
noted one.
Condemned Without Hearing.
The charges grew out of certain pub
lished writings of his, more particularly
his book. "The World Before Abraham."
A committee of the Central New York
Conference instituted the charges, re
ported Professor Mitchell guilty, and the
report was adopted by- the conference,
without, it is said, the accused having
been given an opportunity to defend him
self. From this action of his con-

COLUMBUS, O., May 25. In letters
addressed to general traffic managers
and general freight agents of the various
railroads operating In Ohio, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has declined

rules promulgated by the State Railway
Commission.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
advises the railroads that some weeks
ago it Issued an order that it declined
to permit state commissioners to take
jurisdiction over demurrage and car
service on Interstate business, and, as
the Ohio rules contain orders relating
to the waiving of car-servtoe delay by

terstate shipments, it must decline to
recognize them as lawful, and the roads
are requested to re-issue their car-service

COMPROMISE IS ARRANGED
Leaders Agree to Combine Bond-Se.
cured and Asset Currency, but
Opponents Threaten Filibuster.
Bartholdt Uses Big Stick.
WASHINGTON, May 25. Currency leg
islation was the chief topic among lead
ers of the Senate and House today. The
revival of the discussion came unexpect
edly and led to all sorts of rumors of
probable agreement between conferees on
the Aldrlch-Vreeland bill looking to the
enactment of a measure at the present
session. . -
Many Republican members of the
House do not seek to disguise their fear
that, if Congress should adjourn with
out passing an emergency currency bill,
the failure to take action would be dis
astrous to the majority. This fear was
emphasized by ' Bartholdt of Missouri,
chairman of the House committee on
public buildings, who declared that he
would not submit his conference report on
the omnibus bill until financial legisla
tion had been assured. His action holds
the buildings bill, in which 316 members
of the House and many Senators are in
terested, over the head of any "recal
citrant group or faction" that may be op
posed to an agreement on emergency
currency.
Many members of both branches of
Congress believe that the impression
given out by many leaders that there is
no hope for action at the present ses
sion, is for the purpose of arousing the
country to demand action before adjourn
ments If such a demand 'should come
now the result would be in doubt.
Combine Two Systems.
Elarly in the day the report was cir
culated in the House that there was a
movement on foot to dovetail the Aid
rich and Vreeland bills, retaining the
principal features of each. The effect
of this course would be" to permit Indi
vidual banks to take out emergency cir
culation on Government, state, county or
municipal bonds, or as an alternative
proposition to take out emergency cir
culation on commercial paper to be guar
anteed by banks of a clearing-house as
sociation, as provided by the Vreeland
bill. It was the idea in the House that
this provision could be amended so as to
be acceptable to the Senate by denning
the character of the securities, such as
proscribing that they shall have two
endorsers and not run more than 90 days.
It was suggested further that the emerg
ency circulation measure, should not
operate for more than three years and
that in the meantime there could be a
general revision of. the currency and
banking laws.
No sooner had this scheme for a com
promise reached the Senate than the
Democratic leaders served notice on Sen

SALEM, Or., May 25. (Special.) Upon
its own initiative the Oregon Railroad
Commission has collected information dis
closing excessive rates charged by ex
press companies in this state, and it is
practically certain that proceedings will
be started soon to compel reductions .
Rate Clerk Miller, who has had the de
tails of the work in charge, has procured
a mass of evidence which will form the
basis of the proceedings against both the
Welta-Fargo and the pacific Express Com
panies. The Wells-Fargo Company oper
ates on the Southern Pacific and the Pa
cific Express Company does business on
the O. R. & N.
Figures Tell the Story.
As an instance of the character of rates
charged, it is shown that Wells-Fargo
charges $2.75 a hundred for merchandise
carried from .Portland to lskiou, 258
miles. For the same distance In Missouri
the same company charges $2.05 a hundred
and In Texas $2.
Tet the Wells-Fargo rate over the
Southern Pacific is low, compared with
the Pacific Express Company's charge
over the O. R. & N. The rate from Port
land to Baker City, the same distance
as to Siskiyou, is $3.76. The rate on
merchandise from Portland to Huntington,-
404 miles. Is $4, while the rate in
Missouri is $2.10, and In Texas $2.30.
The statistics also show great varia

Is 60 cents, but the rate is doubled im
