RAILROAD. Survey Made of Route From Port land to Eagle Creek. OREGON CITY, Or.,. Oct. 6. B. P. For ttster, of Eagle Creek, who was here to day, states that the residents of that sec tion are greatly encouraged over the pos sible construction of a railroad from Portland early jiext year. L. Gerllnger, of Portland, is- the accredited promoter of the enterprise, and a survey of the proposed route has been made from Troutdale to Currinsville, passing through Gresham and going down the north fork of Deep Creek, near Demascos. Mr. Ger llnger has invested about $12,000 in timber lands on Deep Creek, and other investors have made pur chases in that section. The re port is current that when the proposed railroad line is completed the manage ment will use the Oregon Hallway & Navi gation Company's track out of Portland to Troutdale. The road would pass .through a fertile agricultural section and tap extensive bodies of fine timber. The laot that the Oregon Telephone & Tele graph Company extended their line from ILents to Currinsville, a distance of 26 miles, without asking any subsidy except a guaranty from the Postmaster of the latter place of $5 worth of business month ly, indicates that it expects a large ln crease of traffic in the future.

There was no reduction of their wages in any manner, and it was promised that the new schedule would be regulated so as to enable them to earn as much as formerly. They objected to that, and the company then offered to pay $1 5fr per day, which they also declined, and walked out, The majority have since returned, and addi tional holp has been secured from other sources, and the mill is running full time again."

In his report;, to the Director of the Mint from the. Nome district. Special Agent Cabell Whitehead says: " "Of the new discoveries since last sea son, Xopkuk, located on the beach, 60 miles east of here,, easily takes the lead. From a space notover 500 feet in length along the beach "o the tundra, there was taken out this Spring between $500, 000 and $600,000, all with rockers. "The latest strike and one which Is at present attracting much attention Is on the Bluestone River in the Port Clar ence mining district, something less than 100 miles from Nome. One of the tributaries of.thjs river, Gold Run, Is said to 'exceed in richness anything- known heretofore, It being, no uncommon thing 'to get from ?1Q. to $20 in a single pan. Tho creek Is entirely taken up. "A source of gold which Is attracting 'much attentlohv at the. present time Is 'the ancient rlyer beds along the head of Dexter and Anvil Creeks. Some of theso deposits are fabulously rich, noth ing richer having been founff in the Klon dike, I am told, than some of the claims along -Nlckkala Gulch. Tho extent of the deposits, however, has not yet' been prov en and another season will be necessary to demonstrate their value. "I incline to the opinion that these ancient channels are the sources of tho gold found In all the countries in this district, as well as the gold taken from the beach, and If I am right in this opinion, they should be very extensive and add many millions to the world's production. I see no reason to doubt that during the coming Winter, when prospecting can be done with the aid of thawing machines, the channels ,wlll be located and. next season will see a very largely increased production. "In my opinion, the future of this dis trict remains to be proven, with the chances largely In favor of its becom ing in the next two years a very great .producer, "My estimate of the production up to this time is 51.500.OOO, with the chance of Increasing this production before the end of the season to $2,000,000. MOUNT BAKER BOUNDARY LINE. Course ot Needle Deflected in Early Survey. CHICAGO, Oct. 6. A special to the Rec ord from New Whatcom, Wash., says: In the present dispute of the International boundary line location near Mount Baker, it Is stated on authority that a( peculiar phenomenon transpired during trie survey at that point. When the line was being run, ' along In the early days, the course of the needle was deflected, It was sup posed afterward by the metal in Mount Baker, "and the survey was inaccurate. ..This made the line several mile's out of the way before the mistake was rectified and the advantage was given the Cana dian side of the line. When the mistake was found out, it was rectified,. but may not have been sufficiently marked the second time. The boundary is the 49th parallel and It Is simply a problem of locating this parallel. .FORTUNATE KLONDIKERS. Steamer's Treasure of $250,000 Owned hy 20 .Passengers. SEATTLE, Oct 6.

It Is needless to argue this point or to cite cases of failure, because every vic tim of catarrhal trouble knows It for him self if ha has tried them. A local application. If it does anything at all, simply gives temporary relief; a wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot reach the seat of the disease which ia the blood. The mucous membrane seeks to relieve the blood of catarrhal poison by secret ing large quantities of mucus, the dis charge sometimes closing up the nostrils descending to tho throat and larynx, causing an Irritating cough, continual clearing of the throat, deafness, Indi gestion and many other disagreeable and persistent symptoms. A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal treatment: a remedy which will gradually cleanse the system from catarrhal poison and remove the lever and congestion always present ia the mucous membrane.
