Other property holders were seen and without excep tion they all promised support. The committee held another meeting tonight and formulated plans and ways and means, and a delegation will be put in the field at once to secure the right of way.

At Halfway, the statibn between Baker City and Cornucopia, the shock was noticed, and it is said the sky was lighted up with a purple tint. People of Richmond say the same was true there. MIneowners and others, to determine whether a magazine containing explo sives was blown up, located all of the magazines of any size in the Cornu copia country and found them all In tact. Reports from Wallowa County late today stated that the time shocks were experienced there and today a heavy smoke has been hanging over the mountain range. At Irondyke mine, near Homestead, on the Oregon Idaho line, people claim to have felt the same shock. -- While there is more or less mystery surrounding the matter, the shock is attributed to an earthquake or soma upheaval of the earth.
