GRASS VALLEY. Aug. 16. (Special.)
f the operations of the Twohy forces are
et present somewhat curtailed on
the upper reaches of the river on account
of .the Injunction in and about Grass Val
Jey, there Is every Indication that thty
are conducting a campaign of action else
where. According to the statements of
those In touch with the course affairs
ere taking, the Twohys are concentrating
their workers on thoe sections of the
right of way not covered by the restrain
ing order.
Grass Valley itself la the hub of the
Jiarriman work, and there are situated
the offices and warehouses of the Twohy
company. In addition to the storage
places for supplies and equipment the
Jiadquarters hospital for Twohy men Is
eltuated at the Valley. This U to be the
center of a system of hospitals at the
various camps. A fact of Interest Is that
toth the offices and warehouses have
been rented for a period of one year.
Brandon Gives Out Figures.
Apparently the Deschutes people feel
that the Porter Bros, have claimed some
thing more than their fair share of public
attention along the lines of statistic pub
lishing, and are- inclined to put forth
some facts and figures of their own. To
The Oregonian representative, H. A.
Brandon, the engineer in charge on the
field, gave assurance that all the maps
and data pertaining to the construction
work were open for examination and that
the fuller the publicity accorded the
methods being followed by the company,
the more would the public understand the
m-tnt nf their nneratinns.
"Here are a few statistics which we
would be Interested in having published."
raid Mr. Brandon, "for the purpose of
comparison with statements that recently
have appeared."
He then went on to enumerate some of
the items of supply and equipment re
cently purchased. Seventy-three full cars
have come in to Moro. Grass Valley and
Fhanlko during the month of July, loaded
with construction outfits, horses, mules,
srroceries. oats and hay. flour, sugar, ex
plosives and milk, as well as many broken
or partly loaded cars. The freight bills
.of the various shipments enumerated
"were exhibited.
Complete Road Within Year.
The road, said Judge Twohy. will prob
ably be completed in a year, and already
307 miles from the northern terminus has
been let out to contractors. The engi
neer dwelt particularly upon the fact that
some 500 feet of track has been laid on
the permanent roadbed, extending south
westerly from a point on the O. R. & N.
ast of Deschutes towards the canyon.
The alight detour Involved at this point.
Bay the engineers, la made necessary to
obtain grade required In passing over the
Moody dam site a few miles above the
river's mouth. It. is along the lower
stretch of river that the body of the Two
hy forces axe engaged, no right of way
conflicts there existing and it Is claimed
that more than 300 men are at work on
the central 19 miles. The Deschutes peo
ple say some 1200 men are employed on
the entire line.
The plans for the two big bridges
across Willow Creek, near Madras, and
at Trout Creek, were shown, and the de
tails gone over. Both are steel viaduct
structures, the Willow Creek bridge, whose
highest pier is 224 feet, being the largest
encountered on the entire survey, costing
In the neighborhood of JT5.000.
Interior May Get Two Roads.
As far as appearances are concerned
and the evidence afforded by the supply
purchasing and headquarters activity,
there seems every reason to believe that
the claims advanced that the work Is
progressing in good faith and with the in
tention of permanent construction are
rounded In fact. In fact, both roads,
when unencumbered by legal restriction,
are exhibiting an amount of determined
activity which leaves small room for the
ever lessening doubt concerning actual
railroads being the outcome.
We are building railroads entirely re
gardless of other people and Intend to
complete It." say the Twohy officials.
-Our road will be completed to Madras
probably within 15 months," announce

OREGON TRUNK CHANGES LINE
Grade Altered at Great Expense ,n
Order to Pass Over Dam.
MORO. Or.. Aug. 16. (Special.) The
fact has' just come to light that the pro
posed grade of the Oregon Trunk Rail
way has been shifted from the original
survey for some dozen miles, so that the
road may pass ever the proposed Gov
ernment irrigation dam at mils 2L
It was at first Intended that the road
cross from the west to the east side of
the canyon at almost the very point to
;be occupied by the dam. It has now be
'come necessary to abandon this plan and
i to lead the grade around the cliffs of the
! ,oii ohnve the 100-foot dam.
(keeping It on the west bank until the
: river's level is again reacueu.
t . ., i 4ir:,,itia of construction in-
'. curred by this change are considerable.
' It will take four miles of maximum
'grade, which is six-tenths of 1 per cent.
: to acquire the level necessary to pass
over the dam, and. running south on a
level grade, the road will only reach the
river again after nine miles of difficult
' work along the cliffs and steep hillsides
at heights ranging from 100 feet down-
' ward.
It Is estimated the cost of this work
' will be twice that of the original survey
following the river, if not more. Ac
cording to Assistant Engineer Crane,
who has charge of the party now en
gaged in locating the high line, in some
Dlaces It will be necessary to make rock
fills of 100 feet. Nine" miles above the
dam site the road will cross to the east
:ide and the original survey be resumed.

Shall William Howard Taft, President of
these United States and also some golf

a nice quiet game of cow-pasture poo' l
the Seattle Golf and Country Club
grounds, or shall he go out to the fair
and foregather with the cemmon peo

The programme for President William
H. Taft'a visit to the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-ciflc
Exposition on September 30 and Oc
tober 1. prepared by Chairman Josiah
Collins, of the department of ceremonies,
and accepted by Secretary Carpenter for
the President, was almost entirely re
pudiated today by President Chilberg. Director-General
N'adeau. and Director of
Exploitation Wood.
The Collins programme called for but
one public appearance of the President
at the exposition on the "afternoon of
September 30." In the evening he Is
scheduled to attend an exclusive banquet
at the New York State building and on
Friday, October 1. Mr. Collins planned
to have the President spend the entire
day at the Seattle Golf and Country Club
grounds to play golf and take luncheon
with a few selected guests.
The exposition officials declare Presi
dent Taft Is not coming to Seattle to pay
an exclusive visit to a few society folks,
but that he is coming to see the expo
sition and to meet'the people.
Mr. Collins is out of the city and
whether he will maintain his prerogative
of fixing the programme 'as he was au
thorized to do by the committee of cere
monies is not known.

Annual Statement Shows That All
Branch Settlements Are
Growing Rapidly.
LO.VDOX, Aug. 14. (Special.) The Jew
ish Colonization Association, which the
Jewish passion for abbreviation has made
familiarly known as the "lea," was
founded 18 years ago by the late Baron
de Hirsch, who endowed it with JIO.OOO,
000 at its establishment and a further $30.
O00.OC0 at his death. The association is
therefore by far the wealthiest Jewish
Institution in the world. Its objocts, as
set forth in its articles of association,
are to assist and promote the emigra
tion of Jews from any parts of Europe
or Asia principally from those countries
In which they suffer from disabilities
and fo establish colonies in various parts
of the world for agricultural, commercial
and other purposes; further, to establish
and maintain educational and training in
stitutions, model farms, loan banks, in
dustries, factories and any other, institu
tions which may be calculated to fit Jews
for emigration and assist their settla
ment in various parts of the world other
than in Europe.
The association, which, although incor
porated in London and bearing an Eng
lish title, has its headquarters in Paris,
is governed by an administrative coun
cil of 11 members, of whom M. Narclsse
Leven. a prominent French lawyer, is
president.
At the annual meeting, which has just
taken place, M. Leven gave an interest
ing summary of the progress made by
the association during the fast year. His
remarks were, on the whole, encouraging,
and, although many public men are of
the opinion that in spite of the millions
at Its back, the "lea" is only tinkering
with the vast problem "of Jewish emigra
tion, it is generally admitted that within
the limits it has marked out for Itself
the institution is doing good and useful
work.
In the Argentine, where the principal
and most successful colonies are situated,
the total population of the Jewish set
tlements is now 13,171. an increase of
2500 over t"he figure for last year. The
popularity of these colonies, the inhabi
tants of which enjoy a considerable
measure of "home rule," is attested by
the fact that the number of new arrivals
is always increasing. Both here and in
Brazil the colonists, who are engaged ex
clusively In agriculture, are entirely self
supporting. Similarly satisfactory reports are given
of the settlements In the United States.
