WALLOWA COUNTRY LINE Springfield Cutoff Near Eugene "Will Be Completed as Early as Pos sible at a Heavy Expense ' tb the Corporation. Construction of new. trackage aggregat ing about 140 miles, at a cost of nearly $3,000,000. has been definitely decided upon by the officials of the Oreson Railroad & Navigation Company and Southern Pa cific In Oregon, including the 71-mllo ex tension from RIparIa to Lewiston. exten sion of the branch now In operation from La Grande to Elgin Into the "Wallowa country, and the Springfield cut-off, near Eugene, by which the advantage will be secured of having a double track from Hat point to Portland. Erickson ,& Peterson, general contract ors. of San Francisco, were awarded the contract yesterday for building the line between RIparIa and Lewiston. bids for which were opened ten days ago, but the award of the contract withheld pending submission of the figures to the Northern Pacific Company, the road to be used Jointly by the two companies and cost of construction to be proportioned on a basis agreed upon. It Is provided that this work shall be completed on or before April 1. 1S0G. and the estimated cost is understood to be Jl.750.000. although be cause of the rugged character of the country and great amount of rock work necessary. It Is probable the cost will be In excess of the figure. Of necessity, the line follows the canyon of Snake River, with extremely light grades, and all In favor of hauling heavy loads westward to the Portland market. Opens "Up Vast Area. Beginning of work on this seven-mile stretch of new track will signalize the opening to production a vast area that has been developed to a considerable ex tent without the advantage of transporta tion facilities, except by-river boats on the Snake to RIparIa, and Whence by rail to the outside markets, until the opening ot the Portage Railway the last of May. when It was made possible to move traffic from the district by the open river. The advent of the railroad will open to set tlement large areas that have not yet been occupied by farmers, while It will furnish the inducement for immediately multiplying the cultivated area of farms already subdued. Satisfactory progress has been made with the definite location of the line from Lewiston to Grangeville, but the work Is not yet complete. As soon as arrange ments are completed this line will also be put under construction, and it is the pur pose to have it in operation very soon nfter completion of the track to Lewiston These are among the long-projected lines of the Northwest that have been slow In taking definite form, that are of great importance to the entire Oregon country Extension of Elgin Branch. Instructions have also been Issued from licadnuartcrs of the Harrlman system for the construction of the extension of the Elgin branch to proceed at once. This branch, in opsratlon from La Grande to Elgin, a distance of 21 miles, and its con tinuation into the central portion of "Wal lowa County, will aid materially in the development, of that section of the state. Right of way has now been secured by the company preparatory to Immediate commencement of construction, and it is expected that the line will be opened as far as the mouth of the "Wallowa River. 36 miles from Elgin, during the present season, probably leaving the further ex tension to Enterprise and Joseph for the coming year. There Is probably no other section of the Northwest more promising of great things, capable of maintaining a dense population and enormous production, than the northeastern portion of the state. which has remained unoccupied by any thing like the populntion that its fertility nnd natural conditions Justify because of the lack of transportation facilities. It has long been the understood purpose of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany to .supply this need by continuation cf the Elgin branch, within hauling dis tance of which has been founded prosper ous communities. Grain, fruits and vege tables are some of the production of culti vated lands, with Immense forests ot standing timber and mineral resources that have only been partially prospected, Llestock Is one of the chief products up to the present time, and large feeding In dustries will undoubtedly be one of the re suits of the growth that will naturally en- Bue to the diversified pursuits to which the region Is adapted. "Willamette ATalIey Project. "While these large Improvements are be Sng made on' the lines of the Navigation Company, the management will likewise prosecute construction of one piece of "work on Southern Pacific Oregon lines that Is of very great consequence to the "Wil lamette Valley. "Workmen are now engaged In building a bridge over the Willamette. Jiear Eugene, and a stretch of a little more than one mile of track will rank in "Initial cost with some of the notable bits of construction of the year. The bridge alone will cost more than $S0.C00. and the total expense Incurred to connect tile Woodburn branch and the main line will approximate J150.000. That portion of Lane County reached by the "Woodburn branch at Wcndllnc and Natron Is In the heart of large areas of excellent timber. In which are situated the mills of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany, It has been necessary to haul the product of these mills, a large part of "Which found market in California, to Woodburn before it could be transferred to the, main line, a. distance of almost SO miles, with completion of the short con necting link, such traffic will move directly southward, saving a haul of lo miles, Mileage from the Junction points at the north and south end of the branch will be practically the same as by the main line. Jience it will serve as a double track whenever traffic Is heavy or occasion de mands use of either. The work Is very Heavy, and no time will be lost in its pros ecution to early completion. Prospects for a Settlement. SPOKANE. "Wash., July 1C Advices re celved here are that no more meetings of Northern Pacific officials and the Railway Telegraphers will be held until Monday. when it la expected the union's requests will be submitted in writing. It is be Jleved here that the probability of a strike is steadily growing less. One of the hard est obstacles appears to be the union's demand for the reinstatement of certain men discharged by the company. Montana Northern to Be Built. HELENA. MonU. July 15, M. L.

That the Lewis and Clark Fair Is not so fruitful a season for babies as it might be is Indicated. by the birth statistics of the City Board of Health, for In the fire six months of this year only more midgets have arrived than in the corre sponding period last year, whereas the firs six months of last year exceeded the same period In 1503 by 1M. Nor does the Lewis and Clark Fair seem to boom the matrimonial market as it might be expected to do. The number of marriages for the first half of the current year exceeds that for the flrrt half of last year by only 40. while the number for the same period last year exceeded that lor the corresponding time of the year before by 67. Up to July 1 SGS births were recorded in the ponderous big book of the Board of Health. Last year the number was 23. and the year before 6S1. It will bo seen, therefore, that the year 1PM made a big Jump over IKS. and that the gain for the first six months was 17 per cent. But the gain this year over last has been less than 5 per cent. In that period last year the gain in marriage? over the same soason the year before was 10 per cent. but this year's gain has been only 6 per cent Cupid did poor work In April and May of this year, but made up for it in June, for the County Clerk issued 202 licenses? to wed last month, which stands as the record.

Change Nnme of Association. At Friday's session of the National Association of Food and Dairy De partments in the Auditorium at the Exposition grounds, a resolution was adopted changing- the name of the or ganization to the Pure Food Interstate Commission. Some of the members of the association, in advocating- the change, said the manufacturers pf the country had more or less to do with the organization, and in electing- new officers it would be advisable to jslect a new. title. Friday afternoon's session ended the convention, and the members of the association left yesterday for home. Many of the members took the boat to Cascade Locks, where they boarded the train. Montana Day Postponed. Montana day. which was to have been celebrated July 20, has been in definitely postponed. Some day In the early part of September will be chosen, but the exact date had not been de cided upon.

May netful t la a Taxpayer Meeting to Act Upon the Proposed I. oration. At the earnest solicitation of cltlxens. among whom were Rev. T. L. Eliot and Rev. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the Church Beth Israel: Mrs. L. W. Sltton. chair man of the City Board of Education, yes terday decided to call a special meeting of the Board for tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock to consider the questions affect. ing the jsltc of the new East Side High School, concerning which there has been so much local discussion of late. The meeting will take place in the office of the City Superintendent of Public Instruc tion at the City Hall, and It Is expected that citizens will be present to discus the Issues Involved. Director Wittenberg expresses great confidence in his ability to secure an over whelming majority of East Sldcrs in favor of a new location, and slated yes terday that there was scarcely any doubt the meeting tomorrow afternoon would crystallize into a movement for the pur chase of more ground either by process of assessment or otherwise, and thought that the necessary two blocks could be secured for about 523.0W. Mrs. Sltton says that, while the meeting called for tomorrow afternoon will be In no sense an assemblage of taxpayers, it will doubtless be attended by a number of interested citizens, and that It is quite likely to result In a regular taxpayers' meeting being called anew to consider the subject. Those taking an .active Interest in the matter are Revs. Eliot and Wise, Mrs. Miilie R. Trumbull. Florence Kelley, of the National Women's Rights Asso ciation; William D. Wheelwright, presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and A. I Mills, president of the First Na tional Bank. Protest Against Street Improvement. C. M. McKay and 32 other property owners have tiled a protest with the City Council against the proposed im provement of Bancroft avenue, from the west line of Macadam street to the west line of First.

The remonstrators claim to be the owners of more than two-thirds of the property affected, and ask that all proceedings be stopped. ONE DAY II BE ENOUGH COUNTY BOARDS OK EQUALIZATION LIMITED TO A WEEK. Orrcoa the Attorney-General Com true Lair at Request Mode From Tillamook. SALEM, Or.. July 15. (Special.) Atto ncy-Gcneral Crawford rendered an opinion today in which he holds that a County Board of Equalization need not hold Its session for more than one day. unless there Is business requiring, that the ses sion continue, iie nqms tnat tne Doaro may remain in session not to exceed one week, but unless its published notice de clares an intention to remain more than one day. the tlrst day Is all that Is neces sary. The opinion was rendered at the re :ucst of County Assessor A. M. Hare, of Tillamook County. Mr. Crawford quotes section 3009 of the code, and then says: By tne raid wctloa the time of theraeei tnr Is fixed a the lt Monday In Anat and the notice requires alt lrori Interested to appwu" on that day and make cbrnpUlnU I presume 1: the ooani raouia continue in session longer than one day, complaints could be filed at any time while they were la ilon. Section S0S2 nrovlda that "said Beard of Equalization shall continue tbelr tltttnr from day to day until the examination and cor rection of the asneasment roll, as provided In this chapter, shall be completed: -but It such examination and correction be not completed within the week In which such board U re oulred to meet. It eaall be the dnty of the Cosntr Cleric etc" You will notice that by aid section the board continues Its slttlnx. from day to day until the examination and correction ot the assessment roll jfcall be completed, and It prohibits tbera from holding It exceedlnc one week. It can. under tsUd nectlon, continue. Its .sitting from day to day for one week, but the meeting o: tne ooara. as fixed by law, raid section ZOO), Is the last Monday In August, and that Is the day on which oarties who care complaints are obliged. undtr the statute, U be present and make helr complaint: then If the board has to much buslnef on band that it cannot complete It en Monday, It may continue it from day to day for not to exceed one week. Therefore, the board.

Extension of the Portage Railroad to a connection with the Great Southern at Big Eddy, at expense of the Open River Association, on condition that the people of The Dalles make the connection to the river at that point, and establishment of an independent line of steamers to ply between Portland and the lower termi nus of the Portage Railroad, were pro jects that received approval of the Open River Association executive com mittee yesterday afternoon at a meeting held in Portland. It Is the belief of members of the ex ecutive committee that a combination has been formed by transportation companies operating on the lower river to make operation of the Portage Railroad as difficult as possible. The hope had been entertained that there would be no need for additional boats at this end of the line to take care of all business, but either because of heavy traffic offerlnjj or for some other reason the boats en gaged In plying the waters below Big Eddy have not found the through traffic any attraction. "Where a boat in making the round trip daily to The Dalles It would be Impossible for such a steamer to handle the business, but the commit tee feels that other motives must be responsible for other boats not accepting through freight. .It was. therefore, de cided that boats of the Open River Transportation Company must be placed on the lower .portion of the Columbia, as well as above Celilo. Negotiations have been under way for purchase of boats suited to the purpose, and if obtainable the service may be started at an early date. If necessary to build tho boats Inauguration of the serv ice would be" delayed somewhat. Business men of The Dalles have come forward and expressed willingness to take stock in the proposed line and pledge their own traffic to the boats. Territory along the Columbia from Celilo to Pasco, has been carefully gone over by a representative of the commis sion to determine the amount of traffic that may be obtained by a boat line. While the resort has not been fully com; piled it Is known that the result shows a tonnage assured that will supply a number of boats. It was decided that the proposition sub mitted by the Commercial Club, of The Dalles, pledging that If the Open River Commission would build the track to connect th Portage Railroad with the Great Southern, a distance of about three-fourths of a mile, the citizens of that town would build the track for a much greater distance to connect to the river, should be accepted. The committee was Informed that the schedule of tariffs to apply on the Portage Railroad will soon be announced by the commission, the road being ready for handling traffic as soon as the boats bring it to their term inals for transfer. Railway Travel Unprecedented. Heavy passenger traffic to Portland, that has exceeded all previous records for the past week, continues to pour through the gateways of the big passenger station at the foot of Sixth street In an undimln- ished stream. All trains arriving last night were heavy, and three specials ar rived over the Northern Pacific, one at 10 o'clock last.nlsht and the others at 1 and 1:45 A. M. today. This was In addition to the regular through trains of yester day and last night arriving in double sec tions. Southern Pacific No. 12, last eve ning, brought 15 cars, loaded to the vesti bules, and thLj morning's train from Cali fornia i3 running in two sections, both heavy. O. R. & N. trains from the East arrived In double sections last night. One of the specials arriving last evening was that of the National Conference of Chari ties and Correction delegates, whose res ervations Had been made at the Hotel Portland four months ago.

Property-Owners Object. Ralph R. Dunlway. as attorney for objecting property-owners, has filed a , remonstrance with the City Council j against the proposed assessment for the Improvement of Hooker street, j from the east line of Third to the west ' terminal line of Hooker, upon the I grounds that the city has not complied with the conditions precedent provided i by law to obtain Jurisdiction to make any legal assessment; that there Is no proposed assessment on file with the , Auflllor or made, nnd no notice nub. ' lished or given; and that the so-called improvement has not been made in substantial compliance with the con tract, and what has been so done is not to benefit but to damage the prop erty within the assessment district.
