MILEAGE WOULD BE CUT
Products Would Travel Only J 45
Miles, Connecting Over 4 5-Mile
Link With Xorth Bank Road.
Milwaukee Is Considered.
The Glenwood route for the proposed
White ' Swan-White Salmon railroad,
which is to give the Yakima country
direct rail connection with Portland,
was tentatively decided on as the most
feasible at a meeting yesterday be
tween three members of the executive
committee from Yakima: and Harrah,
Wash., with members ot the committee
from the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, which la jto-operating in the
project. I
Those who attended were J. T. Har
rah, of Harrah' Wash.; A. B. Fosseen
and J. A. Harder, of North Yakima,
Wash.: Edsra B. Piper, John F. Daly.
R. S. Howard, Jr., Mark Woodruff and
A. M. Hhajnnon, all of the Portland
Chamber Of Commerce committee.
Details of a plan to build a wagon
highway connecting the same points
were also discussed.
..( Link Would Be 45 Mllea.
'' The projected railroad Is to. start at
White Swan, Wash., to which the Top-penish-Harra.li
branch of the Northern
Pacific is to be extended this year,
and will connect with the North Bank
road at the mouth of the White Sal
mon River. The link which it is
planned to connect up with this rail
road is about 45 miles in length.
A heavy tonnage from the Yakima
country now moves west over the
Northern Pacific to Seattle, and east
to Spokane. From Toppenish. Wash.,
to Seattle, ls-183 miles, and to Spokane
it is 216. while the distance to Port
land over the route of the projected
railroad is only 145 miles.
Residents of this fertile district de
sire rail connection with Portland, and
there is every indication that a heavy
tonnage would move in both directions
over the new road. At present th
great distances necessary to move
freight by rail over the existing round
about routes between Portland and Top
penish make any large business pro
hibitive. From Toppenifsh to Portland via Ta
coma is 323 miles, and via Pasco 300
miles. This is contrasted to the 145
miles of the projected line.
Gentle Grade Possible.
The Yakima country is naturally tr.b
utary to Portland. Surveys of the
route have proved that It can be built
without a grade exceeding 2 per cent.
Traffic between the Yakima country
and Seattle has to move over the Cas
cade range.
At a previous meeting, held in the
Chamber of Commerce Thursday night,
those attending were J. T. Harrah, A.
B. Fosseen, J. A. Harader, O. E. Brash
ears, George Sawyer and William Xi.
Lemon, all being from North Yakima
except Mr. Harrah, who is from Harrah,
Wash.; and Edgar B. Piper, A. M.
Shannon, L. L. Lynn, R. S. Howard. Jr.;
John F. Daly, R. M. Irvine and M. E.
Pmead, of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce.
Steps are to be taken to interest the
Milwaukee Railroad in the proposed
development.
LAWNMOWER IS STOLEN
Strange Man Represents Himself as
Hired to Cut Neighbor's Lawn.
Pigeonhole the borrowed lawnmower
joke. It is no longer a joke, thinks
Mrs. S. A. Anderson, 254 Union avenue
North.
A few days ago a strange man came
to the house of Mrs. Anderson and bor
rowed her lawnmower. The man looked
honest and industrious. So she lent
him the lawnmower. He said he was a
lineman out of work and had a lawn
cutting job.
But the lawnmower of Mrs. Anderson

the teacher should know it from le
ginning to end"

women," said Rev. C. L. Hamilton, who

before Municipal Xudgre Langguth on a
larceny charge yesterday. Pruitt, be
cause of his youth, was released to
Public Defender Dave Robinson, but
Craven was given a 100-day rockpile
sentence.
Major Craven was employed as a
janitor at 207 Fourth street. He told
Pruitt of a trunk, left there by a former
roomer, that might be stolen and con
verted into "easy money." The boy
fell under the thrall of the older man's
Influence, and aided in the deceitful
ruses that were adopted to gain pos
session of the trunk. They were ar
rested by City Detectives Coleman and
MOW.
"The trunk was sold for $3.50, and I
got half," Pruitt told the judge with
frankness. "Then we sold a watch and
a ring, that were in the trunk, for
$1.25 and $1. I got half of that also.'
The boy did not attempt to place the
blame on Craven, but readily admitted
his own share in the theft. His home
is in Los Angeles, from which city he
ventured forth to make his way in tho
world a few months ago.
Craven was equally open in hiscpn
fession to the court, but his wearied
and wrinkled face automatically cata
logued him as one who "has been the
route."
"How old are you?" inquired Judge
Langguth.
Then Craven slipped to his single
falsehood, in his desire to arouse
clemency.
"I am 24 years old," he said.
"When were you born?" continued
Judge Langguth without pause.
Craven faltered and the wrinkles on
his forehead puckered with dismay. "I
was born in 1885." His lips betrayed
him before he could cast back for 1
date in keeping with his first state
ment.
"What makes you look so much
older, then?' interposed Deputy City
Attorney Stadter. .
"Dissipation," replied Craven, and his
body trembled to lend evidence in proof
of the reply. 1
"A good long term on the rockpile
will put some pep in that fellow,' sug
gested Deputy District Attorney Diech,
