O'Brien on-CommULl on Report. VALE. Or, April 15. (Special.) De termined on being the first railroad Jnto Harney County, the Harrlman in terests Jumped Into Vale this morning: iwlth a force of 100 railroad laborers and. started construction work on the Oregon & Eastern, the survey for which extends westward across the state from this point to a connection with the Natron-Kllamath line at Odell. Material yards have been established In which 90 carloads of ties are al ready piled up,' In addition- to several mllea of 70-pound steel rails. Engi neering parties are now setting the grade, stakes along the line of the sur vey and are camped as far west as the Harper ranch 25 miles from Vale '.n Malheur County. Malheur Canyon Kirst Point Hit. It Is believed here that energies will be devoted at first to covering the survey In the Malheur River canyon, where engineering parties, working for the Boise & Western, ' said to be a Hill road, have been operating for (om tune. The construction of 160 miles of road will put the Oregon & Eastern "in the clear.- That Is, It will take the road through the Malheur canyon and into the Harney Valley to a point on Malheur Lake. From there to the connection near Odell, the country is more or less open and the danger of Interference by rival lines is not a matter for serious consideration. It is reported here that work on this 150 miles will be prosecuted vigorously this Summer. "It Is Harney Valley or bust" is the expression used here today by Engi neer Ashton. who has been looking after right of way matters for the com pany. Engineer F. S. Osborne is now In Pocatello rounding up railroad la borers. The force at work today has laid the Sret mile of track th.t will be needed to connect the Oregon Short Line branch from Ontario to this point with the construction work on the survey of the Oregon & Eastern. Tracks are being laid in order to get materials on the ground1 expeditiously, while twitch is under construction to facili tate the handling of materials in the yards. Survey Covers AVide Territory. The survey of the Oregon & Eastern extends from Vale up the Malheur River to Malheur Lake, and, as at present staked, leaves the town of Burns 18 or 20 miles to the north. The road swings around the base of Wagon Tire Moun tain, enters the Christmas Lake Valley, passes through the Silver Lake and Kort Rock countries and out through a gap between timber-covered hills at the western end of the Fort Rock Val ley. Construction work from Malheur Lake westward is comparatively light, the survey extending for many miles along land in the Christinas Lake coun try almost as level as a floor. In the latter countries there has been a rush of homesekers under1 way since last Fall, hundreds of whom have taken up desert land claims and regular homesteads. The road will serve the . great Harney Valley, containing more than 10,000,000 acres, it is estimated, of high grade agricultural land, devoted now in the most part to stock grazing. In Vale work on a new depot to cost $20,000 is to begin at once, and a deal for the purchase, of railroad yards at the foot of Main street has Just been closed. All indications point to a de termination on the part of the Harrl man road to be the first to interior Oregon with an east-and-west line. The Oregon & Eastern Railroad is a Harrlman corporation, in the list of officers of which J. P. O'Brien is given as president. i i Mr. O'Brien, last night, said that he had no information concerning the commencement of work at the eastern terminus of the road's survey. He de t: lined to express any opinion on the report or say whether immediate con struotlon of the road had been under consideration.

April 15 The committee in charge of the Fairbanks Mount McKinley expedition desires that the United States Government shall detail Signal Service men from the point nearest Mount McKinley to make a trip to the. vicinity of the mountain, and report whether an American flag is flying on the summit. Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedi tion, and who knows the great moun tain well, having lived the year through in the foothills, repeats that March is the safest month of the year for the ascent, the snow being then firm over the crevasses, and there being no ava lanches. After the snow begins to melt, the great crevasses open, and there are slides of vast masses of snow. B. W. Griffin and Captain Barnette, of this city, offer to wager $100,000 with any responsible person who doubts the truth of the report brought back by the expedition. The Summer expe ditions now planned will verify the re port of Mr. Lloyd, his backers say. BUTCHER SHOPS TO CLOSE Newark Rioters Defy Police in Dem onstration Over Prices. NEWARK, N. J.. April 15.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was received at the Austrian capital today In a manner almost like that accorded a reigning coverign.

CALF SON ATONES BULL FATHER'S SIN I" C ID EX TALLY LOS AXGELES MAX GETS SEW JAW. Peculiar Operation Performed to Build Fp Human Face Gored by Bovine, 1X53 ANGELES, April IB. The new oral surgery department of the Los An geles County Hospital, said to be the first of its kind In "any county institu tion In tho country, was inaugurated today - with an operation which sup plied John Schilhelmer. a Long Beach rancher, with part of a calf's lower Jaw to replace maxillary bones that were destroyed when the calf's father, a Jersey bull, gored the man and but ted him in the face last November. Dr. Carl Delchmiller, head of the new department, performed the opera tion. Dr Delchmiller first picked out & sheep to supply the . needed front por tlon of the lower jaw. but Schilhelmer, who had ordered the bull slain imme diately after it had gored him, carried his revenge onto the offending animal's offspring. He could not talk, but made JUs wish known with pad and pencil. "Let the sin of the father be visited upon the son." too wrote, "Kill the Jer ey calf." It was slain this morning, an hour hefore the operation, ao the living cells In the calf bone would knit with those of the human. Three hours later Schilhelmer emerged from the anaes thetics with everything under the flesh of his chin made of calf and his face bound In a cast to hold his toothless gums articulated.

MADISON", W1b April 15. (Special. ) A two-act comedy. In which the dra matis personae are all potrayals of va rious germs, will be given Monday night by a company consisting entirely of girls attired in the strangest costumes ever put upon the American stage. The garbing of the actresses "in germ- land" will be the well-known types of bacilli of pneumonia, tuberculosis and tetanus. The play, which was written and copy righted before "Chanticleer" was heard of, is the work of a man woll known to the stage world, W. H. Machette, for years a conductor of grand and comic opera in Canada and the United States. The essential point of the play Is a war between the denizens of germland and the human race, but ltnerwoven with this Is the strangest Jove story ever dreamed, the wedding : of Teddy, en up-to-date young fubercule, to Besie Bacillus, a stenographer of the world of Pathogenic Microbes.

CONFERENCE IS POWERLESS Unpopularity of Lobby Checks Move on Washington. PROBLEM PROVES COMPLEX Explanation Made That All Trans continental Rales Are Based on Infraction of Rule Xov Favored by Committees. CHICAGO, April IS. (Special.) The note of alarm was sounded by the West ern railroad presidents today regarding the proposed amendment to the Inter state commerce act removing all ex ceptions to the long and short haul clause of the law. Should such an amendment set has been approved by -the Senate and House com mittees become a law. It is said that the commercial map of the country would be changed and" the PaoiQo Coast would be cut off from railroad communication, so far as freight la concerned. The confer ence of the Western presidents wa called with a view to discussing the sit uation and determining whether or not anything could be done to prevent the proposed amendment. Lobby Would Bo "Unpopular. The only remedy that could be thought of was to send a lobby to Washington ta try to show Congress the folly of such a move. Owing to the fact that the Ad ministration and tho people have decided that the railroads should keep out of politics and cease lobbying, the Western presidents concluded titers was nothing they could do. The clause referred to prohibit Ilia railroads from charging more for a short haul than, for a long haul, but all trans continental rates are built upon the in fraction of this rule. Water Competition Met. Rates from the Atlantic seaboard, for Instance, are less, to Portland and Seattle than they are to Spokane. 400 miles In land. The reason-for this adjustment is to be found in water competition. To secure any business from the seaboard, the railroads are compelled to meet the competition of boats from New York to New Orleans, plus the rail route from there to the coast, and. also to meet all water rates around the Horn. WATER SYSTEM PUZZLES Seaside Wonders if Town Can Stand Expense of Construction. SEASIDE. Or., April 15. (Special) Is Seaside to have a water systemT This question puzzles both the Com mon Council and the Commercial Club. While agreeing that the present sup ply is inadequate, there is a divided opinion regarding the advisability of bonding the town to the extent re quired for the installing of a new sys tem. Before the members of the Commer cial Club Alex Gilbert. Sr., made the startling announcement that he had filtered nearly a quart of sand and filth from the mains In an incredibly short time. Engineers employed by the town to locate a source of supply have reported the south fork of the Necanlcum River as the most desirable. To utilize the water from this stream will necessi tate a greater outlay than the town can stand, says the more conservative element. HORSES' DEATH DYING WISH Beautiful Team Left by Wealthy Woman Is Chloroformed. CHICAGO, April 15.
