Indadlns; the newly com pleted Takltna division and the work now under war on the Spokane-Portland cutoff, will be started today by Julius Eruttsohnltt, rloe-president and director of maintenance and operation of the Harrlmaa lines, and J.

O'Brien left Portland In hla prl Tate car attached to the fat mall train last night and will meet Mr. Krutt schnltt at North Taklma this morning, the latter official bavins; traveled from Seattle last night. - No schedule for the trip over the sys tem has been established, but It Is eapected that a full week will be re quired to complete the work of Inspec tion. They will return to Portland following- the'r tour of the lines east of here and then may go over the South ern raclfio system In Oregon. Special Train to Carry Tliem. Mr. Kruttschnltt has been In the Northwest for nearly a week. He at tended the depot opening at Tacoma on Monday, after which he spent several days In a Joint inspection trip with Howard Elliott, president of the North ern Pacific, on the lines In the Grays Harbor district and in the vicinity of Puget Sound. He has expressed his In tention of viewing all the property In the three Northwestern states before returning East. No time will be lost when the two officials Rft together. A special train will be made up at North Taklma, car rying th private cars of Mr. O'Brien and of Mr. Kruttschnltt. They will run over the new line to Attalla and tr.en will start toward Spokane. It Is likely that they will spend an enMre day In Spokane, whye they will In spect the new terminal property, upon which a magnificent passenger station soon will be erected. This depot will be used Jotntly by the Harrlman lines and by the Milwaukee, which will se cure entrance Into Spokane over the 0. -W. It. A S. tracks from tie Inter section of its own lines at Marenge, Wash. Ordinarily the business In the third or Kpokane district of tne local system would be bandied by xobrrt E. Stra- 1. urn. general manager, but he Is absent In the Eat and Mr. O'Brien will ac company Mr. Kruttschnltt over that territory. Traffic Agreement Eipected. An object of probable Interest will be the new construction work In Mar shal! Canyon between Spokane' and Cheney. Wssh.. where the Watson. Flags Pt.indlfer Company of Port land Is bulldtnr a new track that will parallel the rails of both the North bank and the Northern Pacific roads. This Is to form a part of the new line between Spokane and Ayer Junction that is to reduce the distance between Portland and Spokane it miles. In view of th fact that Mr. Krutt schnltt has been In conference with Mr. Elliott on several occasions In the past week the probability of the Har rlman Interests entering Into a trafflo agreement with the Northern PaclflO for the use of the line of the latter company between Cheney and Spokane has teen suggested. Although work already has been started on the con struction of the new road through the canyon It Is believed that In the event arrangements are made for running over Northern Pacific rails a satisfac tory adjustment will be made with the contractors. This work would require an expenditure on the part of the Har rlman Interests of approximately II. eoo.b&O. Mr. CBrten did not expect to become a party to a conference with Hill offi ciate when he left here last night. There Is no business, he said, which demands a meeting with L W. Hill or ethers prominent. In the H1U system. MRS. SARAH OGLESBY DIES Woman Born In Oregon CI Years Ago Burled Near Old Home. Mrs. Sarah J.

As a trlbue to the late Frank Rlsley Huber. and to show how much be was entitled to the designation "Oregon Boy." Judge Henry MoQlnn gave out the following yesterday: "Frank Rlsley Huber, who ' died at Seaside Sunday last. April SO, was es sentially an Oregon boy. for he was born In Oregon and reared In the City of Portland. His father, Noah Huber, came to Oregon with Orvll Bisley In 1HS. having crossed the plains and ar riving here In October of that year. "Noah Huber remained In Oregon until 1S7, when he returned to Ohio, whence he came, practicing his profes sion, that of a lawyer, and editing a newspaper; he was there married to Mary Emily Rlsley (Frank's moth-.r), in June, 1841. "Noah Huber returned with his wife to Oregon in 1853. and settled at la Fayette, In Tamhlll County, where, he practiced his profession; he continued to reside there until 1858. when declin ing health forced him to take a needed sea voyage. He remained away from Oregon until August. 1868. when he again returned here, this time coming to Portland, whera he settled. He did not, however, remain long. Ill health returning, he went to Maryrvllle, CaL, where he died In December, 186. Pioneer Name Recalled. "Noah Huber was Recorder of the City of Portland in the year of Ills death, at which time Stephen J. Mo Cormlck was Mayor, names well known. Indeed, to an earlier Oregon 1 "It was during the residence of his father and mother at La Fayette, Or, and on September 11. 1850. that Frank Rlsley Huber was born. "After the death of his father Frank returned with his mother and sister. Lulu, to Portlsnd. where he may be said to have regained continuously until the time of his death, for he never was awsy for any appreciable space of time, "Frank Huber will be remembered by all who lived In Portland In our vil lage days. He was actively connected with the volunteer fire department, when the volunteer Are department was the center of much of our com munity life. He was connected with Columbian hose company No. S, and al ways took an active part In all that related to the welfare of this com pany. He was associated with David Wilson. Harry P. Chapman. Charles S. Mills.- George Maxwell and Henry D. OtifTln. most of whom have responded to the higher rollcalL All heroes In their day. for they were ready to risk life and limb to save the lives and property of othera Time will not per mit me to give the personnel of the various companies of that day, my only purpose being to mention some of Frank's associates in Columbian hose company No. S. "It was to the brave boys of the vol unteer Are department of Portland, that the Right Rev. Bishop Morris, on Sunday night. January t, 1871. preached a sermon at Trinity Church, taking for his text Teradventure for a good rran some would even dare to die iRomans. t:7). This sermon was In Frank Huber possession at the time of his death. "Portland had. In the days of which I now write, and at the old 'Oro Flno,' which stood where the Union block now la on First, between Stark and Oak. the advantage of a stook company of aotors of more than ordinary ability. Mr. and Mra V. M. Bates, George B. Waldron, Robert Fulford. James Vin cent and many more too numerous to mention, were here In those days. "From this association Frank Huber early took to the theater and to those who were connected with Its active life; he became the friend and Intimate asso ciate of the players, and this had a marked influence on his after life. The carriage and bearing of the actor, which was notloeable In him to the end of hri life, he doubtless acquired In these old Oro Flno daya At this theater, and at that best of all school, where the traditions of MoCready. the elder Booth, A. A.- Adams and other actors of the classlo age of Shakespearean drama, still lingered, he acquired a power of declamation which made him far and away the best reader of the publlo school fTt was the high school, which stood where the Portlsnd Hotel now la I came to know Fran Huber well, and the ac quaintance thus formed ripened Into a friendship which never ended. ' "Whenever it was known that Frank Huber was to deliver a declamation at the Friday afternoon 'rhetoricals,' the auditorium of the high school, such as It was then, could not accommodate those who would come to hear him. All the pupils of the high school of that day will remember his 'Cardinal Wool eey's Soliloquy, adapted from the third seeds, of the second act, of Henry Villi as also the 'Closing Year of George D. Prentlco. The Impression which his reading of this "Closing Tear made upon roe was such that there has never come a midnight of the last of the year that I have not recalled this, to me. wonder ful recital, and the effect It produced upon all of us who heard It. There must have been some power In the one who could put such meaning into words s to cause the recollection of them thus to remain. Kindness Be Inherited. The characteristics of the boy were kindness for all, consideration for those In distress.- Cruelty In whatever form It might assume, he abhorred. These traits he Inherited, without doubt, from his Swiss ancetryThe boy Is father to the man." These virtues continued with him during life. He was far from being demonstrative he did not carry hla heart upon his sleeve;" but his uni form kindness and urbanity will be re membered by all the boys and the girls, now middle-aged men and women, of our village days in the Portland of 187J and 1S73. . "Whatever he did he did it well: he was never satisfied to do anything "good or better:' he did it 'the best." What ever his band found it to do, he did It with all his might. "Whenever we met of late years, which was not often, any reference to our school daya or to the days of the old volunteer Ore- department, would bring Are from him; and though never loqua- ASTOR ANCESTORS TO BE COMMEMORATED BY MONUMENT FOR COMING CENTENNIAL i 4 sir "' k ft is- - '' - "' - " J':r-' 1.

Colonel John Jacob Astor has sup plied the monument committee of the Astoria Centennial with pictures of his ancestors In order that the com mittee may have some trustworthy picture to turn over to' the sculptor. No one has been selected to design the 820.000 monument, which It Is the plan of the centennial committee to erect, but Dr. Fulton, chairman of the committee, is working out the details of beginning a competition as soon as possible. John Jacob Astor, whose expedition wV-3USZ-23. was responsible for the founding of Astoria 100 years ago, was born at Waldorf. Germany, and died in Now Tork City In 1848. He married Sarah Todd, daughter of Henry Brevoort. In New 'Tork City In 178S, and four chil dren were born to them. From this union the great Astor family has grown and prospered. The picture of the bust of John Jacob Astor the first, was taken from the one In the great Astor Library In New Tork City.
