L,AKBVIEW Or., June 15. (Special.)
At last it seems that Harrlman's $100,
fX,000 bond issue will be applied in part
toward securing: results from the consid
erable outlay of money made in surveys
for various railway lines through In
terior -Oregon. A number of men are
now doing "cross-section" work along
the survey extending from the Oregon
, line south into California, and there is
indication that grading- wm bi-crin alone
the east side of Goose Lake Valley this
Summer. Between Alturas, in Northern
California, and Lakevlew, In Southern
Oregon, the survey runs for about 45
miles along- Goose Lake, on the eastern
Bide of the valley. For a considerable
part of this distance there Is but one
good, desirable right of way. The val
ley is very narrow along the cast side
of the lake, and the hills extend down
very near to the natural hay or marsh
land bordering the lake. The road that
first constructs along the east side will
control the best grade into South Central
Oregon.
Goose Lake Valley Strategic Pass.
When the incorporation of a company
by Harriman representatives in Califor
nia, for the avowed purpose of building
a railroad from Anderson, on the main
line of the Southern Pacific near Red
ding. Cal., to Lakeview, Or., by way of
the Pitt River Pass and Goose Lake Val
ley, was announced, people of Hastern
Oregon placed little faith, in the an
nouncement. -Years aro a survey was
run through this country and the imme
diate construction of a railroad an
nounced. Since1 then each subsequent
announcement has been considered a
further move of the Harriman interests
to head off the designs of other railroad '
builders on this territory. But today
the Nevada, Callforrfia & Oregon road Is
steadily building northward, and will be
in Alturas before the end of this Sum-.
mer. When Alturas is reached, it is but
a short Jump to the southern end of
Goose Lake Valley and control of the
narrow passes along the east side of the
valley between the lake and the moun
tains. While the N., C. & O. has been
building very slowly, the work has been
progressing steadily. If rumors that the
Gould interests are behind that little
road are true, the action of the Harri
man people is readily understood. With
the Western Pacific nearing completion,
Gould is in a position to throw a large
force of men Into the work of extending
the .N.t: C. & .O. into Oregon, and have
control of the immense traffic of Central
Oregon. It would theivbe an easy mat
ter to gratify his desire to extend his
system into Portland, Or. The fact
should not be overlooked that immedi
ately following the authorization of the
big. bond issue by the Union Pacific at
Salt Lake City, a meeting of the stock
holders of the Rio Grande, a Gould load,
was .held, and the mortgaging of that
road for J150.000.000 was ordered. Imme
diately caine the incorporation of a Har
riman company to build to Lakeview up
the east side of Goose Lake.
May Mean Gouid-llarrlman AVar.
Lake County people rather expect to
see a struggle for control of the most
desirable riht of way along the east side
desirable right of way along the east side
erly construction work is believed.
Hven though the Harriman interests
should construct a short line down the
lake, without immediately extending it
to the main line in California, the
branch line would make possible a con
nection with the Gould road, and Lake
view people could reach the outside
world without a long stage trip.
P. A. Worthington, of the Harriman
offices in Portland, is In Lakeview now
checking up at the United States Land
Office the lands crossed by the right-of-way
survey made by Harriman during
the past two years. Every indication is
that at last Harriman actually contem
plates opening this rich section that has
been completely bottled for so long.
Irrigation Companies Active.
In arriving at the belief .that construc
tion work will begin soon considerable
reliance is placed on the judgment of
the big land companies that are exploit
ing this 'section, surveying for irriga
tion systems, etc. More than a year apo
the Hewitts, of Tacoma, began purchas
ing land in Goose Lake Valley, and had
surveys made, plats filed, etc., prepara
tory to installing an irrigation system
to reclaim the lands so purchased. This
Spring the Oregon Land Company, a
Kansas City corporation controlled by
people who have been reclaiming and
colonizing lands In a number of West
ern States, bought the holdings of the
Oregon Military Land Grant Company.
The new owners of this vast tract of
500,000 acres are .planning to place the
holdings in Goose Lake Valley under ir
rigation ditches. People generally be
lieve these vast systems would not be in
stalled if the people putting up the funds
did not know a railroad would bs con
structed. There are no richer lands in
Oregon than those in Goose Lake Valley.
But without the means of transporting
products to market they are valueless,
except as a speculation.

Ben Johnson, employed) as an edger
man at the. mill of the Stanley Smith
Lumber Company, at Greenpoint, died

tween the eyes. The force of the blow
splintered the end of the timber, a large
piece of which penetrated Johnson's head
and came out below the left ear.. He
lived six hours after the accident, a
remarkable circumstance according to the
physician who attended him.
Johnson had no relatives or friends at
Hood River and his body is being held

R. Nichols. An inquest will be held by
the Coroner tomorrow and an effort made
to locate Johnson's relatives or some

ASTORIA CAN HANDLE VESSKL
Vancouver, However, 'Will Be Asked
to Supply Equipment.
ASTORIA, Or., June 15. (Special.)
The crowded condition that exists at
the Columbia River quarantine station
and on board the transport Sherman,
on account of the large number of pas
sengers held in quarantine, will be
materially lessened within the next
few days, as Quarantine Officer Holt
has received authority from the de
partment in Washington to release all
those which show a successful vaccina
tion or have had smallpox.
As stated in these dispatches last
night. Colonel Rogers, commanding the
troops on board the transport, request
ed the War Department to have the
Sherman and those on board sent to
some other quarantine station, owing
to the lack of accommodations for
handling so large a crowd here, and to
day certain of the department officers
recommended that the vessel be or
dered to San Francisco, but there is
every reason to believe she will re
main here until released from quaran
tine. Dr. Holt has notified the Surgeon
General that the vessel can be han
dled satisfactorily at the local station,
and as the Marine hospital service is
supreme in instances of this kind, the
vessel and her passengers will un
doubtedly be kept here for treatment.
A request will be made to the Depart
ment of the Columbia at Vancouver for
tents and other equipment necessary
to care for the passengers, who are
to be kept in quarantine, and the com
manding officer at Fort Stevens has
received instructions to render Dr.
Holt all the assistance in his power.
No additional cases or smallpox have
occurred among the troops on the
transport, and the man who is ill is
getting along nicely.

KEPT UP THEE BY
ALL NIGHT EXPERIENCE OF
. . TWO SPORTSMEN.
'They Looked Real Savage," Re
marked One of the Victims in Re.
lating Story to His Friends.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 15. (Special.)
Sitting in a cramped position ail one
afternoon and night on the limb of a
tree with a big black bear standing
guard below, and a friend in another
tree a few feet away with a second bear
standing guard under him, was the ex
perience of R. G. Shrader, a clerk in a
real estate office of H. E. Orr & Co.,
on Saturday.
Mr. Shrader and his friend, whose
name he declined to give, went fishing
in the country near Mount Rainier, and
were having fine sport when the two
"Teddy" bears appeared . on the scene
and put the anglers in their aerial
refuge.
"The bears looked real savage," said
Shrader, "and when they began to
growl we lost no time In ascending the
tall timbers. The bears were right at
out heels until we got to the trees and
then they sat down to guard us. Every
time we stirred they would growl and
so we remained there until Sunday
dawned. It was ia lonely night, but we
stuck it out. We must have slept, for
when light came the bears had disappeared."
FARMERS' THREATS DIRE
Would Deal Roughly With 3Ien Who
Dynamited Irrigation Flume.
HOOD RIVER. Or., June 15. (Special.)
Further Investigation .by the officers of
the Farmers' Irrigating Company today
has failed to lead to any definite infor
mation that would justify an arrest of
the parties suspected of blowing up the
flume. They still believe, however, that
it Is the work of persons who have an
enmity against the company, and state
that a previous effort was made to smash
the flume by rolling boulders down on
it from the hillside. For this reason they
think it is the' work of someone living
In the neighborhood of the ditch, and are
concentrating their efforts there to dis
cover some clew that will lead to the
arrest of the guilty parties.
Among the berrygrowers, most of
whom are stockholders in the company,
indignation ran high today, and threats
of violence' were openly made in case the
criminals could be located.
The large gangs of men working to re
pair the flume are doing their utmost
to complete their task by tomorrow night,
but it is not expected that growers will
get water to the berry fields before
Wednesday. Much cooler weather helped
very materially to save the situation to
day, but should it become hot tomorrow
and Wednesday the loss will be heavy.
BOOZE AT BARGAIN PRICES
Prlneville Saloons Closing Out Wet
Goods in Gallon Lots.
PRINEVILLE. Or., June 15. Spe
cial.) Only 10 more days until Cook
County enters the dry column, and
liquor dealers have begun to close out
their stocks at any old price. It is
estimated there are about 800 gallons
of liquors yet In the city, mostly
whiBky, and ali this will be disposed
of before July 1 to those who are in
position to buy by the gallon, so that
the thirsty citizen will have enough
on hand to last him several months.
After -at, a conservative estimate of
the amount of money that will be sent
to Shaniko from Crook County for wet
goods places it at between $4000 and
$5000 a month.
The shaniko city council has wisely
declined to issue licenses to any out
side saloon men, preferring to divide
the business among Its own citizens.
Prlneville men who have sought to
secure licenses there have met with
a blank refusal, the pretext being that
the council was afraid Shaniko would
vote dry next election if the saloon
business was overdone at this time.

STRUCK DOWN BY FIREBUG
First Man oil Scene of. Woodland
Fire Felled by Blow on Head.
WOODLAND, Wash., June 15. (Spe
cial.) Further developments in the fire
here Saturday morning go to show in
cendiarism, but whether by tramps for
the chance of loot, or for some personal
grievance cannot be said. Ira Hutch
Ings, a merchant, was one of the first
men on the scene, pulling one of the
chemical engines, and as he turned the
corner of second street and Davidson
avenue to go to the rear of the Forbes
& Dion saloon where the fire was start
ed some one struck him over the head
with some sort of an instrument, in
flicting a severe scalp wound and
knocking him to the ground. Hutch-
ings can give no description of his as
sailant. Joseph Dion, the heaviest loser by
the fire, will begin the erection of
either a brick or concrete building on
his lots as soon as he can make the ne
cessary arrangements. The others have
not decided what they will do as to
rebuilding.
DRIVES OUT UNDESIRABLES
Yakima City Council Issues Strict

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., June 15.
(Special.) The City Council tonight de
cided to close up the "red light" district
in North Yakima, and directed the Chief
of Police to notify all undesirables to
leave town forthwith. All who have not
departed by July 1 are to be arrested
and fined every day until they leave.
. The restricted district was practically
wiped out by the fire of Saturday morn
ing and the choice lay between alloting
a new location and ridding the city of
the undesirables. Such a petition from
the W. C. T. U. was sent the Council.
In the past the district has contributed
in fines an average of $700 a month. An
anti-saloon petition, largely signed, ask
ing that six months after date all sa
loons In the city shall be closed un.
was laid over to next week. The saloons
contribute $26,000 annually to the city, but
the prospects are that they will also go.

HOME RULE FAR DISTANT
Wrong Class Seeking Favor in Alas

SEATTLE. Wash., June 15. (Spe
cial.) "If all the people of Alaska were
to ask for territorial government for
Alaska it would be impossible to secure
the passage of such a law by Congress.
The majority of people in Alaska who
are talking home rule are the class that
want the dance hall dives and open
gambling and these people largely rep
resent the element that is fighting me."
The above Is the opinion of Governor
W. B. Hoggatt concerning home rule
as he expressed it today on his arrival
from Washington. D. C, where he has
been spending the Winter. He will
sail for Juneau tomorrow. He stated
he would take an active part in the
campaign for the election of a delegate
to Congress from Alaska and would
