( ' : I ilwn Jl GREAT SOUTHERN .PLANS EXTENSION Line to Run From Dufur to Juniper Flats. .COST WILL BE $1,000,000 Work Announced to Begin Within 60 Days. OBJECTIVE TERRITORY RICK ' Railway Owned by Portland and The, Dalles Men When length ened to Open' Tp Timber and Wheat Country. Extension of the (Treat Southern Rail read from Dufur, lt present terminus, to the west end of Juniper Flats. 40 miles south of Dufcr. at an approximate expense of 11000,000 will be made before the end of the present year. Surveys have been completed, plans bare been made and bids for the con struction work have ' been called for. Actual operations will start before the end of May. The proposed extension Is about 40 mile long and will tap one of he heav iest timbered belts In the state after passing- through a territory that Is rich in agricultural resources. The country In some places Is very rugged, but engi neers figure that the new piece of road can be built at an average expenditure of :5.000 per mile. A number of Port land engineering and construction firms who Intend to submit bids for the work have had men on the ground to estimate the cost. Koad Is Independent. The Great Southern Railroad Is entire ly Independent from any 'of the big ays terns. Local capital built the present line from The Dalles to Dufur three years ago and Its operation since Its completion haa paid a good return on the Investment. The Meier & Frank Com pany 1 heavily interested In the enter prise and together with John Helmrich. of The Dalles, own virtually all of the stock. The company recently was re organized with John Helmrich. Sr.. pres ident; Julius Meier, vice-president: John Helmrich. Jr.. general manager and treasurer, and George W. Joseph, secre tary. Although rough estimates of t-e stand ing timber adjacent to the new piece of road have been made, the country never has been fully explored and Its real wealth win not be known nntll after the railroad penetrates It. Mr. Helmrich. general manager of the , road, however, unqualifiedly makes the assertion that there la enough timber there, to operate a train or 100 cars every day for 50 years. While the timber resources are the heaviest at the present time, agri culture is expected to form an Important Item of freight after the country de velops. Timber Resources Undeveloped. Even though a number of sawmills have operated In the affected section for several years, the timber resources) have not swn materially developed. Eight small logging roads have been built In this territory as an aid In transporting the timber to the outside world. These will be connected with the Great South ern. The mills themselves will be In creased In capacit-. Others will be erected. Most of the wooded regions are owned by private individuals, there be ing few If any big holdings In the dis trict. The road !a standard gauge and well constructed. From The Dalles to Dufur It follows a gradually ascending graoe. After leaving The Dalles It runs almost due east for about 12 miles then turns south, touching Boyd and Dufur and paralleling the new Oregon Trunk and the Deschutes line- of the O.-W., R. 4 jr. Co- While the Great Southern Is about 300 feet above the Deschutes lines. the others are down in the valley at tne edge of the river. In conducting the Oregon Trunk many supplies were hauled over the Great Southern to Dufur and then taken by wagon to destination. Road Runs Southerly. The newextenslon will take a souther ly direction after leaving Dufur and will approach . the bluff overlooking the Des chutes River, near Shearar's Bridge. From there It will operate west, passing through Friend, a small logging town, near which It enters Tygh Valley, al ready famed as a fertile region in which both timber and agricultural opportuni ties are abundant. The present survey follows the general course of Tygh Creek and provides for a terminus at Wamie, also a logging town, approxi mately 40 miles by this route from Du fur. We expect to have dirt flying on the new road in less than 60 days," said Julius Meier, vice-president of the com pany, and one of the heaviest stock holders, last night. "We have asked for bids on tho work, and expect to let a contract befOBe the end of the month." The completion of this line will bring all the Dufur Valley and most of the Tygh Valley Into direct connection with Portland, giving quick mail, freight and passenger service lnt 'that region. It will aid to a great degree in developing the agricultural possibilities of the eeun trv and In populating the fertile acres that hava remained Idle la pwt years.

(Special.) A split between Governor West and J. B. Morrison, manager of the Deschutes Valley Land Company, occurred at a meeting of the Desert Land Board to day, when the Governor insisted that the company should establish a guar antee trust fund of approximately J100.000 to insure the completion of the project for the protection of the settlers. The project includes 31,000 acres and Is located near La Pine. The tilt became so animated that Morrison left the room. Morrison ob jected to tne suggestion of the Gov ernor, saying that it was a reflection on his Integrity. The Governor denied this, stating that hie pnly object In demanding such a guarantee fund was as a cold-blooded proposition to pro tect the people who have been invest ing their money In the project. 'X'nder the law," stated the Governor after the meeting, "the land is not supposed to be sold until water is on It. This has been avoided by selling op tions. To live up to the Bpirit as well as to the letter of the law, I am anxious to see a guarantee fund established to insure the completion of the project.". Members of the Board state that the difficulty will undoubtedly be settled when the Board visits the project on its tour of the Irrigation works In the state.

CO-EDS BEST STUDENTS At Washington University Majority of Failures Are 31en. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se attle, April 10. (Special.) It has been repeatedly said that the co-ed is a rank failure as a student. This can be re futed at the university, for, according to Registrar Stone, the women are far superior in scholastic standing. To sub stantiate this fact Mr. Stone has com piled the necessary statistics to show that the women are better students than their colleagues. Of the total enrollment at the uni versity, 42.61 per cent are women 'tu dents. Of the 55 students that were dropped from colleges last semester, ow ing to deficiency In college work, only nine were women, giving them a large margin for better scholarship. After the examination period had passed and the standings were computed It was found that 111 were placed on probation. As In the former case a smai. proportion of these were women, 27. Mr. Stone has also found that women receive a smaller number of the monthly conditions by a large majority. After the classes have been thinned out the last two years of the college course show the men and worn are more equal as to college standing.

Four persons with life buoys drifted ashore almost In the last stage of ex haustion, but all were resuscitated. They were Miss- Barton, Moss, II. J. Hartnell and Bennett. Purser Munroa was among the drowned, being found floating on a bale of hay encircled with a life belt. Mrs. Houston and child were also drowned. When the Iroquois foundered, part of the upper works were left above water and people ashore could see the survi vors clinging to that portion of the wreck. The swirl of the waters soon tore off the house and the water soon covered the wreckage and people strug gling for their lives. Of the bodies which drifted ashore, many were equipped with life belts. A number of launches put off for the scene, but were unable to get near the wreck. The first of the survivors to be landed was Captain Sears, of the wrecked boat, who, with the chief engineer and an Indian belonging to the crew, land ed on Armstrong Point. Penned in the deckhouse of the boat, five or six women screamed In their terror while the sea broke In. Most of the women went down" in the wreck.
